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

As the High Priest of Seagod Island, he was indeed a fanatical follower of Tang San, and would naturally faithfully fulfill Tang San's requests.

He felt that sea spirit beasts should maintain their loyalty to the sea god, after all, this was a way to repay the sea god's kindness.

......

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao handed the soul tool containing the Ice Extreme God Crystals to Xuan Ziwen: "Teacher Xuan, I will temporarily entrust these Ice Extreme God Crystals to you for research. In the early stages, you can actually use some lower-quality Ice Extreme God Crystals to practice. After I finish dealing with some matters, I will also study the humanoid soul tool with you."

Xuan Ziwen's expression turned serious: "Yes, Yuhao, don't worry, I will do it. After all, this material is too precious."

I will definitely forge a perfect humanoid soul tool for you. Of course, to ensure success, I may contact Elder Kong for help. As you know, Elder Kong is recognized as the best in the field of soul tools. Even the Hall Master is still quite far behind Elder Kong.

Jing Hongchen, standing to the side, said with a slightly dark expression: "Teacher Xuan, in the field of soul tools, no one can compare to Elder Kong. This is undoubtedly common knowledge. Of course, if you need help, I can come and assist you. If Elder Kong comes to make humanoid soul tools, then you and I will both have to work as his assistants."

Although he is usually busy with his affairs, if it can help Huo Yuhao, then it is naturally worthwhile to take the time to make the so-called humanoid soul tool.

After all, Huo Yuhao's needs are actually very important at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao looked at Jing Hongchen and said, "Dean, I need to contact the Holy Spirit Cult to launch the Southern Water Project, so I hope you can invite Ming Lei Douluo out."

Jing Hongchen said, "Alright, I'll go and invite Ming Lei Douluo out now. However, Nan Shuishui needs to get involved immediately as well."

Chapter 249 Nether Thunder Douluo

Huo Yuhao nodded, and then he and Jing Hongchen devised a plan to take down Ming Lei Douluo and make him a thorn in the side of the Holy Spirit Cult. This would undoubtedly be beneficial for future plans targeting the Holy Spirit Cult.

........

In the underworld of Mingdu, there are three major forces: Xishui Alliance, Pingfan Alliance, and Aodu Chamber of Commerce. These three forces all have powerful backers. Forces without such backers simply cannot gain a foothold in the underworld of Mingdu.

As the strongest of the three major forces, the Xi Shui Alliance has the largest sphere of influence. Its main business is selling military soul tools, medicines, and sometimes even arresting soul masters and selling them to various parts of the Douluo Continent.

The reason why the Xishui Alliance is so arrogant is mainly because it is backed by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Within the Sun and Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult possesses considerable strength.

Therefore, even the Ordinary Alliance and the Audu Chamber of Commerce have to give way to the Xishui Alliance to prevent a large-scale conflict from breaking out.

At this moment, in the Qingse Hotel, Minglei Douluo slowly opened his eyes, and the surging soul power in his body calmed down. He let out a long sigh and exited his seclusion.

In fact, for someone of his high position and power, if he were to go into seclusion, he would have to choose a safe place, since he is much more vulnerable than usual once he enters a state of seclusion.

In this situation, if someone wanted to assassinate him, the success rate would undoubtedly be very high.

Although the name "Green Hotel" sounds strange, it is one of the important strongholds of the Holy Spirit Cult, with direct access to the underground world and a high level of security.

For the Holy Spirit Cult, the greatest significance of the Evening Water Alliance is to maintain the cult's expenses and collect resources. After all, some things are difficult to circulate openly, but there are fewer restrictions when they circulate in the underground black market.

Ming Lei Douluo put away the soul guide shield that also had a soundproofing effect, and then called out to the door, "During my seclusion, did the sect leader, vice sect leader, or other elders notify me of anything?"

Upon hearing Ming Lei Douluo's deep voice, the Holy Spirit Cult disciples outside the door immediately said respectfully, "Reporting to the Third Elder, the Second Elder came by, but after learning that you are in seclusion, he instructed me to keep watch outside and told me that if you come to him after you leave seclusion, he will ask you to come to him."

"Alright, I understand. Now that my seclusion is over, you may leave."

Ming Lei Douluo got up from the futon, preparing to go find the Second Elder Nangong Wan. So he immediately flew out of the hotel. However, as soon as he left the hotel, he saw a familiar figure after flying a short distance.

Ming Lei Douluo immediately hovered in mid-air, looking at the familiar figure with some doubt: "Jing Hongchen, why are you here? Do you want to exchange soul tools with me? I have things to do today. If you really want to exchange soul tools, then wait for another time."

He knew Jing Hongchen, after all, they were both level nine soul masters and titled Douluo. Although the Holy Spirit Cult was not openly acknowledged, the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Sect were well aware of its existence.

Jing Hongchen immediately shook his head, rejecting Ming Lei Douluo's idea, and said, "Ming Lei Douluo, I am naturally not here to discuss soul tools with you. I can talk to Elder Kong about such matters."

I'm here to tell you some good news: a spy from the Sun Moon Empire rescued a woman named Nan Shuishui in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

After some investigation, we discovered that she has a relationship with you. I never imagined that the dignified Third Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult would have such an innocent past.

"Why should I believe you? You can't produce any evidence at all." The pupils of the Dark Thunder Douluo shrank slightly.

He truly hadn't expected that the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence agency was so powerful that they could even uncover his relationship with Nan Shuishui, whom he rarely mentioned to outsiders.

Jing Hongchen looked at Ming Lei Douluo and casually tossed out a letter. "This is the evidence I gave you. Take a look at this letter. Is it Nan Shuishui's handwriting?"

The letter was simple, basically saying that Nan Shui Shui knew about Ming Lei Douluo's current identity and situation, and felt somewhat guilty about her decision to reject Ming Lei Douluo back then.

Ming Lei Douluo quickly took the letter, flipped through it, and read the contents.

After a moment, he sighed: "Yes, this is indeed Nan Shuishui's handwriting, and the person who wrote the letter is also her. She is still as kind as she was back then."

Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Now you have two choices: either give up on Nan Shuishui and choose to do what you should do, or come with me to see Nan Shuishui now."

Of course, you're bound to have doubts about my motives. Let me be frank: my goal is simple—to have you create some level-nine soul tools that you're skilled at, and then hand them over to me.

The expression on Ming Lei Douluo's face was uncertain. After a moment, he made a decision: "Alright, Jing Hongchen, I'll go with you."

Compared to Nangongwan, he still chose Nanshuishui.

After all, Nan Shuishui was his former love. Even though he lost his ability to be a man after becoming an evil soul master for various reasons, he still harbored fantasies about Nan Shuishui. If possible, he hoped that Nan Shuishui would stay by his side for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll take you to see Nan Shuishui right now."

To be honest, Jing Hongchen wasn't confident that he could capture the Nether Thunder Douluo alive in a one-on-one fight.

After all, the opponent is an evil soul master, a titled Douluo, and a level nine soul master, so his combat power is quite exaggerated.

Moreover, given that the Qingse Hotel is one of the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, taking action here could easily attract the attention of other members of the Holy Spirit Cult, which would then cause considerable trouble.

Soon, Jing Hongchen set off with Ming Lei Douluo, flying towards a tall mountain peak on the outskirts of Mingdu.

.......

In a tall mountain peak.

In the woods.

Huo Yuhao was leaning against a tree, with Nan Shuishui beside him looking worried. Although Nan Shuishui had agreed to Huo Yuhao's previous request, she still had doubts about contacting Ming Lei Douluo.

After all, that was an extremely bloodthirsty evil spirit master!

Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, evil spirit masters have basically been synonymous with evil. Even in Shrek Academy's propaganda, evil spirit masters are portrayed as evil beings second only to the Spirit Hall's powerful figures.

Basically, every evil soul master has a lot of blood on their hands. She and the other party haven't seen each other for many years. Time can change a person. She really couldn't figure out what Ming Lei Douluo's attitude was towards her now.

What if the other person turns their love into hatred? Wouldn't that put me in an extremely dangerous situation?

"Huo Yuhao, are you sure my safety will still be guaranteed when Ming Lei Douluo arrives?" Nan Shuishui couldn't help but express her anxiety.

Chapter 250 The Defeat of the Nether Thunder Douluo

"Of course it's guaranteed. You have to trust us. According to our previous agreement, you only need to make some contributions during the process of luring the Nether Thunder Douluo."

"As for the battle with Nether Thunder Douluo later, you don't actually need to participate. Nether Thunder Douluo will be defeated very quickly anyway," Huo Yuhao replied.

In fact, according to the original work, Ming Lei Douluo does like Nan Shuishui, so even if Ming Lei Douluo is ambushed later, he will not be angry and attack Nan Shuishui. He might even come to protect her!

Looking at the confident Huo Yuhao, Nan Shuishui thought that although he was a peerless genius who defeated her as a Soul King, he would inevitably be in a tough battle once he faced the Nether Thunder Douluo.

She knew that Huo Yuhao must be confident to do this, so his plan to capture Ming Lei Douluo alive was likely to succeed.

However, evil soul masters are capable of fighting beyond their level, and the Nether Thunder Douluo is no ordinary evil soul master; he is a powerful level nine soul master.

This means that the Thunder God Douluo is extremely skilled in using soul tools, making it incredibly difficult to capture such a person alive.

.....

"Is Nan Shui Shui right here?" Ming Lei Douluo floated in the air, looking at the lush forest below with some doubt.

He couldn't understand why Jing Hongchen would place Nan Shuishui in such a place. After all, this was Mingdu, and Mingde Hall's influence here was deeply entrenched. Even if Jing Hongchen brought Nan Shuishui, who came from the Tianhun Empire, back to the academy and took good care of her, few people would object.

Even Crown Prince Xu Tianran might applaud this move in order to win over Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen patiently explained, "Of course she's here. If you don't believe me, I can have someone bring her out right now."

Ming Lei Douluo gave Jing Hongchen a deep look, feeling that the risk should not be too great.

Kong Deming's obstruction temporarily thwarted the Holy Spirit Sect's plan to become a national protectorate.

However, the Sun and Moon Emperor still needs the Holy Spirit Cult, and everyone continues to maintain a cooperative relationship. In the future, when Xu Tianran takes over, the Holy Spirit Cult will also be needed.

Therefore, in the future, the Holy Spirit Church will inevitably become the guardian religion of the nation.

It should be noted that Xu Tianran's father was able to rise to power thanks to the silent assassination by a powerful member of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Otherwise, given the level of security at the Sun and Moon Palace, how could the previous Sun and Moon Emperor have possibly died from so-called food poisoning?

Thinking of this, Nether Thunder Douluo nodded and said, "Alright, let's go down then."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen nodded and flew downwards. Soon, the two landed in the forest. Jing Hongchen led Ming Lei Douluo a short distance away and saw Nan Shuishui under a tree not far away.

“Nan Shui Shui…” A smile appeared on Ming Lei Douluo’s face. He subconsciously quickened his pace. Suddenly, a series of rumbling sounds came from behind him.

Nether Thunder Douluo subconsciously turned around and saw several soul-guided cannonballs flying towards him.

Ming Lei Douluo did not expect that Jing Hongchen would choose to launch a sneak attack.

He subconsciously activated his level eight defensive soul tool, and a soul tool shield gleaming with white light gradually appeared. But how could a hastily deployed soul tool shield possibly contend with the large number of soul tool cannons that Jing Hongchen had prepared in advance?

Almost instantly, the soul-guided shield on his body shattered.

Although another trigger-activated defensive soul tool was activated, blocking part of the attack, he still coughed up blood and looked terrible.

"Mirror Red Dust! Does Mingde Hall want to start a war with the Holy Spirit Sect?" Ming Lei Douluo's face was ferocious and extremely angry. Black lightning surged on his body like a roaring wave.

Jing Hongchen smiled slightly: "I don't have the right to decide whether to start a war. Nether Thunder Douluo, I didn't expect you to be so lucky as to have survived."

However, your luck won't be so good from here on out. Ye Yulin, make your move!

Upon hearing this, Nether Thunder Douluo activated his Level 7 Invincible Shield and then subconsciously glanced at the sky. After all, Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin always launched attacks from the sky.

The sky remained blue with white clouds, but the Starry Sky Douluo was nowhere to be seen.

"We've been tricked?" Nether Thunder Douluo immediately realized the problem.

He gritted his teeth and used his ninth soul skill, Thunderous Escape, instantly transforming himself into gray-black lightning with a crackling sound.

The surrounding black mist surged, and in this state, he was actually immune to attacks from Soul Masters or Soul Tools.

This was his means of saving his life.

Moreover, because his Nether Thunder Martial Soul is mixed with Yin and evil energy, he needs to absorb the Yin and evil energy from piles of dead bodies in order to make his Martial Soul stronger. Therefore, his Martial Soul can be considered an evil Martial Soul.

Suddenly, he heard an old voice resound in his mind.

The other party seemed to be chanting obscure incantations, and then white light descended upon his body, a burning sensation spreading throughout his entire body, while the black mist and lightning on his body were rapidly dissipating.
