Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 632 Underground Research Institute
"Master of the Branch Tower, what about the matter of the Revelation Religion?"

Hua Tao, the tower master, who was honored as the Qi Douluo, looked calm when he heard this, and said slowly: "An order has been received from the headquarters, so don't worry about them for the time being."

"But Branch Tower Master, the Revelation Cult is obviously connected to Oxer."

The senior executive did not give up. With a tone of anxiety and unwillingness, he further elaborated: "Because of their appearance, some of our resource points in Douling Continent have even been occupied. Now the royal family is obviously planning to support this force."

Since the rise of the Revelation Cult, Oxer has frequently appeared on the Douling Continent. Anyone with a little common sense can see that there must be a close connection between the two.

You know, for a long time, the resources of Douling Continent have been firmly monopolized by the two giant organizations, the Spirit Pagoda and the Tang Sect, and other small and medium-sized forces can only barely get a share of this land.

However, the sudden rise of the Apocalypse Cult was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, breaking the original balance, and it seemed that they were going to forcibly take a piece of the tempting cake of the Douling Continent from the mouths of the two major organizations. How could the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda easily tolerate such a thing?
If the other party is just making small moves in the marginal areas and taking some leftovers, the two major organizations may be able to turn a blind eye and give other forces some living space.

But once the core interests are touched upon, neither the Tang Sect with its profound heritage nor the Spirit Pagoda with its powerful strength will sit idly by. After all, this concerns their status and foundation on this continent.

"Are you questioning the orders from headquarters?" Hua Tao's voice suddenly became low and majestic. As his words fell, a vast amount of soul power surged instantly.

In an instant, an invisible yet extremely oppressive aura spread in the conference room, like a thick layer of haze, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe.

Hua Tao's soul power is as high as level ninety-six. In this conference room, he is undoubtedly the strongest person.

As for the people who were honored as the Seven Giants of the Soul Pagoda of the Douluo Empire, except Hua Tao, the other six were just ordinary Titled Douluo. Under the intimidation of this powerful soul power, the others immediately felt that their breathing was a little off.

"I dare not." Feeling Hua Tao's undisguised oppression, the high-level leader of the Spirit Communication Tower who spoke suddenly became like an eggplant hit by frost, and his momentum instantly wilted.

Hua Tao rubbed his brows and said, "In short, the headquarters asked us not to interfere with the development of the Apocalypse Religion. These are the instructions of the people above, and we should just do as they say. Now adjourn the meeting."

"Yes."

The other high-ranking members of the Spiritual Pagoda echoed the words one after another, not daring to raise any objections. They stood up one by one and hurriedly left the conference room. Soon, Hua Tao was the only one left in the huge conference room.

"The Spiritual Tower, the Revelation Religion?"

Sitting in the conference room, Hua Tao's eyes flashed with thought. At this moment, his consciousness has been replaced by Nan Fusheng.

How should I put it? Perhaps it’s because I’m too familiar with the Spirit Pagoda.

Therefore, when the development of the Revelation Religion was hindered, Aponia had found an opportunity to use the Worm of Time to parasitize Hua Tao in advance. This led to the Spiritual Tower's ambiguous attitude towards the Revelation Religion in the future.

"Knock, knock." A gentle knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the meeting room.

"Come in." Hua Tao said without changing his expression.

The door was slowly pushed open, and a graceful woman walked in from outside.

She looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. Although her appearance was not stunning, she was above average. What was particularly striking was her curvy figure, which exuded a charm unique to mature women.

"Master of the branch tower, those people said they want to see you." The woman bowed slightly and spoke softly.

[Hua Tao]'s mind turned slightly, and the identity of the person in front of him suddenly emerged in his mind. The deacon of the Spirit Pagoda: Jia Feifei, who was in charge of the affairs of the Spirit Ascension Platform. She was a coquettish young woman who often flirted everywhere in the Spirit Pagoda.

She has a very ambiguous relationship with Hua Tao. Because her husband is on a mission and not here, she is even more reckless in her daily life.

As for the people Jia Feifei mentioned, they were naturally evil soul masters.

"Okay, I understand. You can leave." Hua Tao looked calm and waved his hand indifferently, signaling Jia Feifei to leave.

However, Jia Feifei did not turn around and leave as he wished.

On the contrary, she walked lightly towards [Hua Tao]. There was a different light in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She threw a coquettish glance and said in a soft voice: "Sub-Tower Master, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time..."

As she spoke, she boldly rubbed Hua Tao's arm with her body, her gesture full of suggestion and temptation.

What is this called!
This sudden action made Hua Tao feel annoyed, and his expression darkened instantly. He pulled his arm out of Jia Feifei's fullness with force, and said in a majestic and cold voice: "Back off."

"Yes." Jia Feifei seemed to be frightened by Hua Tao's cold attitude and majestic aura at the moment. A trace of panic and surprise flashed across her face. She dared not continue to be presumptuous. She could only lower her head and hurriedly retreat.

"Really? Hua Tao is old but young at heart. He can even accept this kind of stuff." Nan Fusheng secretly complained in his heart.

To be fair, Jia Feifei is not ugly, but Nan Fusheng is usually surrounded by beauties like Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yuena, and Bai Xiu Xiu.

Being in such an environment for a long time is like a person who is used to eating delicacies from land and sea. How can he be interested in ordinary coarse grains?
[Hua Tao] walked into the main elevator of the Spirit Tower branch and pressed the button leading to the third underground floor. That was the place with the strictest confidentiality measures in the entire branch tower headquarters, and it held many secrets that could not be told.

Standing in the elevator car, Hua Tao slowly closed his eyes and waited quietly.

The third underground floor is located thirty meters underground, and its internal defense system is considered to be the highest level inside the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Even if a Titled Douluo entered, it would be extremely difficult to escape unscathed. Every detail here was carefully designed to protect those vital but hidden things.

Soon, the elevator arrived at its destination. With a crisp "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened.

【Hua Tao】When you step out of the elevator, you will see a world made entirely of metal. From the towering roof to the surrounding walls to the ground beneath your feet, everything is made of thick metal, with a cold texture and metallic luster intertwined.

There were obvious energy fluctuations in the air, which were like an invisible net designed to resist all forms of mental detection and ensure that the secrets of the third underground floor could not be discovered by the outside world.

In front of a heavy metal door, ten armed Spirit Tower personnel stood upright, their eyes piercing, always on high alert. "Sub-tower Master." Seeing [Hua Tao] appear, the ten guards immediately saluted in unison, their movements were crisp and clear, showing that they were well-trained.

"Yes." Hua Tao nodded slightly, then took out a special warrant from his arms and handed it over.

This is an ironclad rule within the Spirit Pagoda. No one, no matter who it is, will be allowed in without a warrant, and may even be considered an intruder and severely punished.

Even if Hua Tao is the master of a branch tower, he cannot break this rule. Such a strict rule is to prevent someone from disguising themselves as a high-level member of the Spiritual Transmission Tower and trying to sneak into this place.

Although the probability of this happening is extremely small, given that the secrets hidden here are too shocking, any negligence may lead to unpredictable serious consequences, so the necessary vigilance and precautions must not be relaxed in the slightest.

"Let him in." After carefully verifying Hua Tao's ID card, the one-meter-thick metal door slowly started, making a low roar, and slowly opened to both sides.

[Hua Tao] walked through the metal door with a normal expression, and then went through a series of complex and rigorous verification procedures, and finally arrived at the door of a monitoring room.

As the metal door opened again, the people in the monitoring room instantly focused their attention. They saw a mysterious man in a dark red cloak sitting quietly on a metal chair in the monitoring room. He was the only one in the monitoring room at the moment.

Under the dim light, the shadow of the dark red cloak almost completely covered his face, revealing only a pair of deep and cold eyes, exuding a chilling aura.

Hua Tao's tone was filled with obvious disgust, and he asked bluntly, "Blood Demon, what do you want from me?"

The person in front of him was none other than the Dark Blood Demon, leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Church, a terrifying Level 99 Ultimate Douluo. His evil power and cruel methods had left behind countless horrifying legends in the world of soul masters.

The Dark Blood Demon didn't seem to care about Hua Tao's bad attitude. After all, evil soul masters were hated by everyone in the eyes of the world, and he was already accustomed to it.

The Dark Blood Demon's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the Netherworld: "The research on the medicine has been completed. I will take the medicine back first."

After a pause, he continued, "Once I confirm that there is no problem with the medicine, I will send people to clean up those researchers. Before that, those researchers will be left to you to appease." His words revealed a sense of coldness and determination, as if life was worthless.

[Hua Tao] nodded slightly and responded calmly: "I understand. Do you have anything else to say?" There was a hint of impatience in his voice.

"..." However, the Dark Blood Demon did not answer immediately, but his body suddenly underwent strange changes.

His body shrank rapidly, as if his life force was drained away by an invisible force. After a moment, the entire dark red cloak collapsed and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

"What a disgusting guy. He doesn't even dare to reveal his true identity. He only knows how to use such disgusting methods."

Hua Tao cursed in a low voice, his eyes full of contempt. He walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand to pull open the dark red cloak, and a dried corpse covered with strange magic patterns suddenly appeared in front of him.

The mummy's face was distorted, as if telling of the pain and despair it experienced in life. The magic patterns emitted a faint red light, like a pair of strange eyes, flickering in the darkness.

"What a pity. If his real body appeared here, it would be easy."

Hua Tao's eyes were dim and he was thinking to himself, If the Dark Blood Demon dared to show up here in his true form, with his ability, he could turn the other party into his own in a matter of minutes.

It was a pity that the blood demon acted too cautiously and only sent one blood servant, causing him to lose a great opportunity.

"However, he is really confident. Is he sure that no one in the Spirit Pagoda can do anything to him? He actually dares to leave this blood servant's corpse behind." The corners of Hua Tao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful smile. He looked down at the dried corpse at his feet, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Perhaps to give him a warning, the blood demon left this blood servant full of his aura. This blood servant was originally just an ordinary civilian in Lingbo City, but unfortunately was chosen by the dark blood demon and became his avatar for negotiation with the Spirit Transmission Tower.

For other people, this blood servant might be useless, but for Nan Fusheng, this thing full of personal aura is a good medium for casting spells.

"Keep it for now, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Hua Tao muttered to himself, and then he put the blood servant into the storage soul guide. He stood up, looked through the screen in the monitoring room, and quietly watched the staff in the research room.

In an empty and slightly cold room, a thousand-year-old sea soul beast with red eyes was struggling frantically, its body twisting constantly, trying to break free from the restraints, and it let out bursts of low roars, its voice full of anger and pain.

But soon, a researcher approached quickly with a syringe in hand. As the syringe slowly penetrated, the red light in the sea soul beast's eyes quickly faded. The originally manic beast calmed down instantly as if it had been cast under a spell.

The whole beast lay limply on the ground, as if it had entered a strange sage mode.

A group of researchers in white coats immediately gathered around, holding various sophisticated instruments in their hands, and began to conduct comprehensive tests on the sea soul beast.

Nan Fusheng quickly scanned the group of white coats. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on two people among them. The familiar faces made his heart surge with a wave - Tang Ziran and his wife.

The target appeared!
Parasitism! As Nan Fusheng's consciousness fluctuated, two time worms silently attached themselves to the spiritual sea of ​​Tang Ziran and his wife.

These two were one of the few people he knew when he was young. Unfortunately, they were Tang Wulin's adoptive parents.

In the original novel, how many of those who could influence Tang Wulin had a good ending?

At the end of the film, it is unknown whether Tang Ziran and his wife are alive or dead, and Wu Changkong and Yali cannot be resurrected.

"If Tang San really has the ability to take these two people away, then I can also locate the position of the Great God Circle and see what their movements are."

In the original novel, Tang Ziran and his wife were cursed by the Dark Blood Demon, and were finally taken to the God Realm by Tang San through some means.

What Nan Fusheng has to do now is to wait for Tang San to bring the two people to the Douluo God Realm, use the Time Worm to observe the movements of the God Realm, and do something if necessary.
