Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Jing Hongchen is the head of Mingde Hall and a powerful level nine soul master. He is a well-known figure on this continent, and his recognizability is extremely high.

Of course, the main reason she adopted such a humble attitude was because Jing Hongchen was quite powerful. He was a level nine soul master, and if he wanted to, he could destroy the Earth Dragon Gate.

Jing Hongchen is a member of the Sun Moon Empire, and the relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms has always been very bad. If it weren't for Shrek Academy's intervention, the three empires would have long since become the territory of the Sun Moon Empire.

According to Nan Shuishui's idea, although the Sun Moon Empire failed in the war more than four thousand years ago, it should never have given up the idea of ​​annexing the three kingdoms of Douluo and unifying the Douluo Continent.

This has led to an irreconcilable conflict between the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire.

So, why did Jing Hongchen come to the Earth Dragon Gate for no apparent reason? The Earth Dragon Gate is just a small sect. Apart from that mysterious secret realm, it doesn't have anything of value. But the secret realm has always been kept secret, so it's impossible for news of it to leak out.

Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire has invaded and they are about to start a war? Is that why Jing Hongchen personally came to the Earth Dragon Gate, intending to remove this "thorn" from the Earth Dragon Gate in one fell swoop and then occupy Dragon City?

What about Old Tianlong? Could he be surrounded too?

For a moment, Nan Shuishui's thoughts were somewhat chaotic.

"Mom!" Nan Qiuqiu felt uncomfortable seeing Nan Shuishui's humble attitude. Although the Earth Dragon Gate was nothing on this continent, in Dragon City, the Earth Dragon Gate was undoubtedly the second most powerful force.

Even the city lord of Dragon City had to yield to the Earth Dragon Gate, and the old Heavenly Dragon of the Heavenly Dragon Gate also respected Nan Shui Shui quite a bit.

Nan Qiuqiu impulsively said, "They rashly broke into the Earth Dragon Gate, violating the gate rules, and should..."

"Qiuqiu! Stop talking!" Nan Shuishui turned her head, glared at Nan Qiuqiu, and interrupted her.

Jing Hongchen guessed part of Nan Shuishui's thoughts, so he smiled and tried his best to appear as amiable as possible: "Sect Leader Nan, don't worry, our trip is not to destroy the Earth Dragon Gate, so you don't need to be so nervous."

With Huo Yuhao's help, he and Xuan Ziwen had actually arrived at the Earth Dragon Gate long ago and watched Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu fight. To be honest, it didn't take them long to watch the fight, because Nan Shuishui quickly defeated Nan Qiuqiu.

Nan Shuishui was somewhat skeptical: "So you brought people to the Earth Dragon Gate, could it be to sell soul tools?"

"Of course not." Jing Hongchen said helplessly, thinking to himself that Mingdetang's soul tools were not hard to sell. Basically, any soul tool with the name "Made by Mingdetang" would have its price increased.

So why would he come to a place like Dilongmen to sell soul tools?

He looked at Huo Yuhao beside him: "Yuhao, you should speak."

Huo Yuhao nodded, glancing at Nan Qiuqiu out of the corner of his eye, thinking that the current Nan Qiuqiu was a bit more childish in personality than in the original work.

However, this is normal. In the original work, the Earth Dragon Gate appeared in the second Soul Battle Tournament that Huo Gua participated in. At that time, Nan Qiuqiu was older than she is now.

Huo Yuhao took a step forward, looked at Nan Shuishui, and said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Nan, we came to find you to save you. You are now in a life-or-death situation."

"Save me?" Nan Shuishui was somewhat puzzled. She thought to herself, wasn't her life-or-death predicament caused by you? Especially with the imminent threat from Jing Hongchen, a level nine soul master.

However, Jing Hongchen just called this young man "Yuhao"? Could it be that genius Huo Yuhao?

"Yes, according to our investigation, before you got married, two people pursued you. You chose to marry one of them, while the other mysteriously disappeared."

"Yes, that's true... but what does it have to do with me being in a life-or-death situation?" Nan Shuishui asked, puzzled.

"Your other suitor, in a fit of anger because you rejected him, became an evil soul master. He is now a titled Douluo. Outsiders call him Nether Thunder Douluo. Given the nature of evil soul masters, what do you think he will do to you when he returns to Dragon City?" Huo Yuhao said.

He's exploiting the stereotypes that Douluo people have about evil soul masters.

Nowadays, evil spirit masters have a terrible reputation in Douluo Continent, and basically, anyone who gets involved with an evil spirit master doesn't have a good ending.

Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui's eyes widened immediately: "When I first met him, he was an upright person, how could he...?"

Nan Shuishui stopped mid-sentence. The other party could even find out that she had two suitors in the past, so the matter of Ming Lei Douluo was very likely true.

She pondered for a moment, then continued, "If it weren't for me, perhaps he wouldn't have embarked on the path of an evil spirit master."

Nan Shuishui felt a little guilty, but she quickly buried this guilt deep in her heart, because Ming Lei Douluo was indeed a threat. He was an evil soul master, and no matter how much he loved her in the past, that was all in the past. If he turned his love into hatred, then it would be all over.

It should be noted that evil spirit masters are ruthless and prone to extremes. She was afraid that her daughter would be harmed because of the Nether Thunder Douluo, and she was also afraid that the Earth Dragon Gate would be destroyed as a result.

Then her gaze hardened. "So, you're helping me, right? Do you have a good way to deal with him?"

She didn't believe that anyone in this world would help others for no reason, but since the other party was willing to help her, the safety of the Earth Dragon Gate should be guaranteed for the time being, which also meant that the Earth Dragon Gate would not be destroyed for the time being.

“Of course, our goal is to make contact with Nether Thunder Douluo.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “We need your cooperation. It would be best if you could arrange to meet him. Once you can get him to come out, leave the rest to us.”

Nan Shuishui was somewhat unsure: "Will he agree to be with me? The last time I met him was twenty-five years ago. Time flies, and he might not still have feelings for me."

"Don't worry, I'll agree." Huo Yuhao smiled confidently. He thought to himself that the Nether Thunder Douluo in the original story really liked Nan Shuishui, and even stopped some people from attacking Nan Shuishui and her daughter in order to protect their safety.

Chapter 243 The Duel

Once we control the Nether Thunder Douluo, we can use him to lure Nangong Wan out, since these Holy Spirit Cult elders all know each other.

As everyone knows, the Second Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult is a spineless coward. Compared to loyalty to the Holy Spirit Cult, Nangong Wan actually cares more about his own life and cultivation. Once his life is threatened or he faces the crisis of destroying his cultivation, Nangong Wan will immediately kneel down.

"When will we begin this plan?" Nan Shuishui knew she had no right to refuse; to ensure her survival, she had to learn to yield.

'If it were Old Tianlong facing this, he would probably confront them head-on. Ultimately, it's because I'm not strong enough, and the Earth Dragon Sect isn't strong enough either.' Thinking of this, Nan Shuishui felt somewhat helpless.

"We can start this plan tomorrow, but we still need to stay inside the Earth Dragon Gate for a while today," Huo Yuhao said.

As the head of Mingde Hall and a level nine soul master, Jing Hongchen was considered a high-ranking figure in the Sun Moon Empire, so contacting Minglei Douluo, who was also a level nine soul master, shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, being able to contact him doesn't necessarily mean you can arrange a meeting. However, if you can act in Nan Shui Shui's name, getting Ming Lei Douluo to come out shouldn't be a problem.

Nan Shuishui listened to Huo Yuhao's words with some puzzlement: "Do you all have other matters that require our Earth Dragon Gate to handle?"

Huo Yuhao got straight to the point: "Of course, Sect Master Nan, we came to see you today not only for the matter of Ming Lei Douluo, but also because we are quite interested in the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm, especially the cave dwellings within it."

He didn't hide this matter. After all, besides wanting the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm, he also wanted to control the Earth Dragon Gate. It was hard to say about the other people in the Earth Dragon Gate, but this mother and daughter could definitely become Title Douluos if they were trained. Moreover, with the annihilation attribute of their martial souls, their strength would naturally be stronger than that of ordinary Title Douluos.

Nan Shui Shui's face showed an expression of disbelief. She looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. The Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm had always been a secret. Basically, apart from her and Nan Qiu Qiu, no one knew about the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm.

How did they find out about the Earth Dragon Gate secret realm? Was there a traitor within the sect?

Could it be that Qiuqiu let something slip? No, that's impossible. Although Qiuqiu is usually quite proud and arrogant, she would never make a mistake like this.

"How did you find out about this? You want the secret place, could it be to mine the metal veins inside?" Nan Shui Shui looked at Huo Yu Hao with increasing suspicion and uncertainty.

Huo Yuhao nodded, not denying it: "I did come here to mine the metal."

Nan Shuishui was a little confused. According to the information she had learned about the secret place, the reason why the Earth Dragon Gate was unable to develop the cave dwellings inside was because the temperature inside the cave dwellings was too low.

Even the titled Douluo ancestor of the Earth Dragon Gate, after entering the cave, only confirmed the presence of a metal vein and stayed there for a very short time.

After all, if they didn't come out sooner or later, they would freeze to death inside. But the other party said with certainty that they could mine the metal in the cave. Perhaps the Sun Moon Empire has some extremely special soul tools that can be used to achieve this goal.

She began, "Since the Sun and Moon Empire desires it, then the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm shall..."

Nan Qiuqiu panicked and hurriedly interrupted Nan Shuishui: "Mom, that belongs to our Earth Dragon Sect. They took away the ownership of the secret place without giving us any benefits?"

Nan Shuishui's expression changed: "Qiuqiu! Shut up!"

She sighed inwardly, thinking that if she didn't give it to them now, she would still have to give it to them if they really attacked her later. To avoid death, she had no choice but to give in.

Of course, she didn't have any feelings for the Earth Dragon Gate's secret place, because it had never played a significant role in the history of the Earth Dragon Gate. But it was still something belonging to the Earth Dragon Gate, and giving it away for no reason still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Then Nan Shuishui looked at Huo Yuhao and the others with an apologetic expression: "Everyone, it is my fault for not teaching Qiuqiu properly, which caused her to say the wrong thing. I will punish her severely later and make her apologize to you all."

Jing Hongchen, standing to the side, looked at Nan Shuishui and said, "We have no grudge against the Earth Dragon Gate. It's normal for your daughter to be unhappy that we rashly took away the ownership of the Earth Dragon Gate's secret place. Children can't always hide their thoughts, and I can understand that."

"How about this: I'll have Yuhao fight you. If Yuhao loses, we'll relinquish the secret realm and gift you ten level-eight soul tools, and we'll never mention the secret realm again. If Yuhao wins, then the secret realm will belong to us, and your Earth Dragon Sect will also submit to Yuhao. He's the champion of the Soul Battle Tournament, and I have quite a bit of confidence in him."

He had already communicated with Huo Yuhao on the way here, so he naturally knew that Huo Yuhao was planning to take over the Earth Dragon Sect. Otherwise, he would never have taken such a friendly approach.

Of course, he also came up with a plan to help Huo Yuhao take over the Earth Dragon Gate, which was to challenge them to a duel. He couldn't win people's hearts by using his strength to suppress them.

With Huo Yuhao's strength, no one in the Earth Dragon Gate could defeat him in a one-on-one fight.

"This..." Nan Shuishui was somewhat surprised. She was, after all, a Soul Douluo. As for Huo Yuhao, according to the information from the last Soul Battle Tournament, he was only a Soul Venerable. Even if Huo Yuhao was exceptionally talented, he should at most be a Soul Master. If they fought, she would not lose.

"Dean Jing, did you give Huo Yuhao some level nine soul tools?" Nan Shuishui asked.

She knew that some level nine soul tools could be used without being restricted by cultivation level. Since the other party had made such a request, they must have been confident of winning. So where did their confidence come from?

For the people of the Sun Moon Empire, confidence naturally stems from powerful soul tools.

Jing Hongchen did not deny it: "That's right."

She looked at Jing Hongchen and asked, "How strong is Huo Yuhao now?"

“Yuhao is now a Soul King,” Jing Hongchen said.

Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui was startled. She wondered if Huo Yuhao had taken some pills, otherwise how could his strength have increased so quickly? He was clearly a Soul Venerable just a while ago.

"If it were a one-on-one fight, even if Huo Yuhao had a level nine soul tool, he would not be my match. The more powerful the soul tool, the more powerful the soul master needs to use it. He is just a Soul King! Jing Hongchen is being too arrogant to let him fight me. Therefore, I should be able to protect the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Land."

However, given the current situation, I have no choice but to accept their challenge; otherwise, who knows what might happen? Nan Shuishui's mind raced with thoughts.

She looked at Jing Hongchen: "Alright, I agree to fight Huo Yuhao."

Soon, the others cleared a space, leaving only Huo Yuhao and Nan Shuishui in the center. Five spirit rings rose from Huo Yuhao's feet, while eight spirit rings rose from Nan Shuishui's feet.

Chapter 244 The Defeat of Nan Shuishui

As Nan Qiuqiu watched this scene, her confidence in Nan Shuishui grew stronger. She felt that her mother, Nan Shuishui, would definitely win.

His mother might not be the strongest in Contra, but defeating a Soul King would be no problem for her.

On the exposed skin of the dragon, crimson scales gradually grew, reflecting a strange brilliance under the sunlight, making it look magnificent.

She let out a dragon's roar, and with a flash of light, she transformed into a gigantic dragon with golden eyes and a crimson body.

At the same time, a powerful dragon's might emanated from her body.

"The sect leader actually used his Martial Soul True Body right from the start! Isn't that taking the opponent too seriously?" Xiao Ye, standing to the side, was surprised. He had rarely seen Nan Shui Shui use her Martial Soul True Body.

Watching this scene, Nan Qiuqiu thought to herself that since her mother had done this, it meant that her mother was going to get serious and win over Huo Yuhao as soon as possible.

"Rouge Dragon Martial Soul True Form!" Huo Yuhao watched this scene, his eyes flashing with golden light, and a golden light and shadow instantly appeared behind him.

Nan Shuishui was stunned. If she wasn't mistaken, it should be a Gold-level second awakening, right? Isn't the other party now a member of the Sun Moon Empire? Why would they have a Gold-level second awakening from the Body Sect?

As far as Nan Shuishui knows, the second awakening of the martial soul in the Body Sect is divided into levels, and the higher the level, the greater the difficulty. If the other party is a member of the Body Sect, he can probably become a prospective sect master now.

Could it be a member of the Sun and Moon Sect's true body that's lurking within? No, who sends a genius to be an undercover agent?

"So what if it's a Gold-level Second Awakening? Although a Gold-level Second Awakening is powerful and can help users improve their combat strength, it simply cannot allow a Soul King to accomplish the feat of defeating a Soul Douluo who is a level above them."

Nan Shui Shui's gaze toward Huo Yu Hao grew increasingly calm. Her spirit rings rippled, and she let out a long howl. Then, a large amount of pink dragon breath burst forth toward Huo Yu Hao. This was her sixth spirit skill, called Annihilation Breath.

The most distinctive feature of this soul skill is its long attack range. Moreover, because these breaths are imbued with the annihilation attribute, anything that comes into contact with them will be affected by the annihilation aura and gradually perish.

Seeing the overwhelming aura of annihilation, Huo Yuhao retreated rapidly. He could use two martial souls at the same time, and the most pressing issue to resolve was the aura of annihilation. The next moment, the Snow Emperor Soul Spirit and the Ice Emperor Soul Spirit appeared beside him.

The Pride of the Two Ice and Snow Emperors!
