Chapter 253 He's the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
Time passed quietly, and night slowly fell, covering the entire city.
The hustle and bustle of the streets gradually subsided, the lights in every household were gradually turned off, and people drifted into sweet dreams.
However, on this quiet night, an unusual noise occurred in Huo Yuhao's room.
Huo Yuhao, who should have been immersed in his dreams, suddenly opened his eyes, as if awakened by some unseen force.
His eyes flashed with a cold light, revealing an unusual sharpness.
Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that the soul mark he had set earlier was now emitting a weak signal, and the source of this signal was only a few hundred meters away from him.
This discovery made his heart tighten, because he knew that it meant that the Zhu family's Grand Elder was quietly approaching and searching for him.
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate at all; his reaction was swift and decisive.
He immediately leaped out of bed, nimbly broke through the window, and swept across the night sky like a gust of wind.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the back mountain of the academy. The lush trees and rugged rocks made it a good place to hide.
Huo Yuhao stood on a protruding rock, his gaze sharp as a knife, filled with intense killing intent, as he carefully scanned his surroundings.
"You don't need to hide anymore, come out. I knew you were here all along." Huo Yuhao's voice was deep and powerful, echoing through the silent mountain forest.
His gaze held a hint of coldness, revealing an undeniable determination.
Huo Yuhao has never shown any mercy to those who harbor ill intentions and attempt to harm him.
His principle can be summed up in one word—kill.
"Hahaha, as expected of a genius who appears only once in a century, your strength is so keen that you were able to sense my presence. But unfortunately, you are about to die."
A figure shrouded in black robes slowly emerged from the night, like a ghost born from darkness.
His movements were light and unpredictable, each step seemingly without making a sound, like willow catkins drifting in the night wind, silent and still.
It must be said that this person was extremely cautious. Not only did he wear an exquisite mask, but his voice was also specially processed, sounding both indistinct and distant, as if it came from another world.
After the man in black appeared, three more figures dressed in black robes appeared behind him.
These three individuals were also shrouded in black robes, revealing only their sharp eyes, which gleamed with a cold light. They stood in orderly formation, maintaining a certain distance from each other, creating an invisible sense of oppression.
All three of them were high-level Soul Saints, each possessing powerful soul power and rich combat experience.
It is clear that the Zhu family of Xingluo had indeed made thorough preparations to kill Huo Yuhao.
They not only dispatched their top assassins, but also meticulously planned the operation to ensure there were no mistakes.
They had a full understanding of Huo Yuhao's strength and potential, and knew that only such a meticulous plan could ensure success.
If it weren't for Huo Yuhao, any other Soul Emperor-level Soul Master would probably be dead today.
In the darkness of the night, four dark figures, like ghosts, slowly approached Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao, to be honest, I really admire you. You are one of the few geniuses I have ever seen."
The man in black robes spoke with a hint of regret and admiration, his eyes revealing a complex light, as if he were recalling the past.
"You possess enviable talent and potential. If you hadn't touched the Zhu family's interests, I might even have considered cultivating you." His voice was deep and powerful, each word sounding as if it had been carefully considered before being uttered.
Unfortunately, now all you can do is die.

The man in black robes suddenly turned cold, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had made an unchangeable decision.
After he finished speaking, he did not hesitate at all and slowly raised his right hand.
In an instant, nine spirit rings appeared on the black-clad man's body. Two were yellow, two were purple, and five were black. The nine spirit rings emitted a dazzling light, enveloping the black-clad man's body.
At that moment, the man in black suddenly looked around, his eyes revealing a sharp and alert look.
The hoarse voice rang out again: "Since you're already here, stop hiding. What? Do I have to personally invite you out?"
His voice echoed in the air, carrying an undeniable authority. It was as if he already knew that uninvited guests were lurking around, and was simply waiting for them to show themselves.
The man in black's words seemed to stir the air around him, suddenly making the previously tranquil environment tense.
The surrounding trees seemed to tremble slightly, as if responding to the man in black's call.
A suffocating atmosphere filled the air.
The surrounding grass began to sway gently, as if preparing for the approaching storm.
Immediately afterwards, two figures appeared silently at the edge of Huo Yuhao's field of vision, as if they had suddenly emerged from the bushes.
Zhao Wuji and Flander were both in a state of martial spirit possession at this moment, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Flander's wings were as dazzling as the sun, a pair of golden wings spread out behind him.
His entire body was covered in a layer of golden feathers, each feather shimmering with a metallic luster, appearing indestructible.
Even his pupils had turned into vertical slits, revealing a beast-like sharpness and alertness.
On his body, seven spirit rings were arranged in the order of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, each floating around his body and emitting a mysterious light.
Standing next to Flander, Zhao Wuji had also entered the state of Martial Soul Possession, and his transformation was equally astonishing.
His muscles bulged like rocks, brimming with explosive power.
Its body was covered with hairs that looked like steel spikes. These hairs were not only hard but also sharp, as if each one could easily pierce through the enemy's defenses.
Moreover, at this moment, Zhao Wuji's two heads had transformed into bear paws, with claws extending from those enormous hands, resembling ten sharp daggers.
These claws gleamed coldly in the sunlight, sending chills down one's spine.
Flander looked at the other party with a respectful expression, his eyes filled with respect and awe for the powerful figure before him: "Your Majesty Shadowcat, I really don't understand how our Shrek Academy students have offended you so much that you would not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to come to our humble abode."
"Dean Flander, this is my private matter, you don't need to interfere." Shadow Cat's words revealed an unquestionable indifference.
"Although I have heard of your and your Golden Iron Triangle's great reputation, today I only see you and Yu Xiaogang here. Without Liu Erlong, the two of you are no match for me."
Upon hearing Xingluo's words, Flander's fists clenched involuntarily. His heart was churning with turmoil, but in the end, he chose to remain silent and made no response.
Flander didn't fully understand Huo Yuhao's strength; he had only heard that Huo Yuhao had successfully blocked the Titan Giant Ape's attack in an unexpected encounter.
However, Flander always believed that Huo Yuhao was able to do this because he used some special method to temporarily obtain the combat power of a Title Douluo, just like himself and the other members of the Golden Iron Triangle, who reached a high level of strength through special means.
However, the situation was quite different for the Shadow Cat Douluo before them.
He wasn't a power-type opponent like the Titan Giant Ape, but rather a Title Douluo renowned for his stealth and assassination skills. His fighting style differed greatly from the Titan Giant Ape's, focusing more on stealth and a single, decisive strike.
Moreover, it is now the dead of night, the home ground for spirit beasts like the Netherworld Cat, which excels at night battles.
Flander knew that in such an environment, Shadow Cat Douluo's strength would be greatly enhanced, while their disadvantages would be magnified.
Flander's mind raced as he tried to come up with a solution, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to find any effective way to deal with the situation at hand.
He felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, which made him begin to doubt whether he was really capable of protecting his students and the college.
"Your Majesty, I must tell you frankly that Huo Yuhao is not only my personal student, but also the son-in-law of Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If your decision is detrimental to him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not stand idly by; they will definitely take action to protect their son-in-law. Please reconsider, because this not only concerns Huo Yuhao's safety but may also involve a conflict between two major powers."
"Furthermore, Huo Yuhao is also a member of the Spirit Hall."
When facing Shadow Cat Douluo, Flander knew that he could not contend with him on his own. Therefore, he had to bring up the power behind Huo Yuhao, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall, in an attempt to suppress this powerful opponent.
However, just as Flander was trying to persuade Shadow Cat Douluo, Huo Yuhao unexpectedly interrupted him.
Huo Yuhao wore a carefree smile, his playful eyes fixed on Shadow Cat Douluo.
"Old man," Huo Yuhao said with a hint of provocation.
"Who gave you such confidence that you think you have me figured out?"
