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

Just as the members of the Holy Spirit Church finished their prayers and were about to leave, a sudden exclamation rang out: "It moved! The idol moved!"

what?

Tang Ya stopped in her tracks, somewhat surprised, and turned to look at the statue behind her. Sure enough, the statue had raised its trident.

Chapter 261 The Shocked Zhongli Wu

Although she had not been a member of the Holy Spirit Cult for long, as a saintess, she naturally had access to most of the cult's internal documents.

After all, within the Holy Spirit Cult, few people held a higher status than her, the Holy Maiden.

Therefore, she was naturally very clear about the origin of the Holy Emperor's statue.

Legend has it that the first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was hunted down by the Spirit Hall and forced to enter the Slaughter City, where he became a Fallen One.

However, he always longed to leave the dangerous Killing City and go to the outside world. After all, the Spirit Hall could not always send people to hunt him down. As long as he left the Killing City and found a place to hide his identity, he would have a great chance of surviving.

However, leaving the City of Slaughter was by no means an easy task, which is why the first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was extremely desperate at the time.

However, a mysterious powerful figure used his methods to destroy the very foundation upon which the City of Slaughter existed.

The first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult possessed a unique martial soul; he did not die. He then successfully escaped the City of Slaughter, gradually cultivated and grew stronger, and eventually founded the Holy Spirit Cult.

The first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult later discovered the true identity of this mysterious powerful figure and revered him as the Holy Emperor.

Of course, for reasons unknown, the first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult did not record the true identity of the Holy Emperor.

At this moment, the eight elders and a group of outstanding disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult all looked at the statue with shock. Usually, the statue would not move at all, but today it actually raised its trident on its own initiative.

Masked Douluo snorted coldly and said, "What is this thing that dares to play tricks? In my opinion, there is a Soul Master manipulating the idol nearby! Since the founding of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Holy Emperor has never manifested his power."

After saying this, Masked Douluo took a step forward, looked at the statue, and said, "I want to see who is hiding behind you."

Just as he was about to make his move, suddenly, an almost suffocatingly powerful pressure emanated from the statue, sweeping across the entire area.

Masked Douluo froze, unable to move. He looked at the statue in horror, feeling that his life was seriously threatened. It seemed that the other party could easily kill him with just a slight move.

How could this be? Even the Supreme Elder Ye Xishui couldn't possibly render me immobile with just his own pressure. Could it be that the Holy Emperor has truly descended?

Tang Ya felt the immense pressure and a respectful expression appeared on her face. She cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Sect. May I ask what brings you here? If we members of the Holy Spirit Sect can do something for you, it would be our honor."

Tang San, who had already channeled a wisp of his divine consciousness into the statue, was somewhat frustrated because he recognized Tang Ya's identity. This person was clearly the current leader of the Tang Clan, shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Tang Clan, but now she had become the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult.

According to the rules of the Tang Sect, Tang Ya, as the sect leader, should distance herself from the inherently evil evil spirit masters.

However, through Wang Dong's perspective, he had previously come to understand Tang Ya's personality and knew that she would never betray the Tang Clan and join the Holy Spirit Cult.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the other party was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Tang San had no intention of saving Tang Ya, since Tang Ya was currently staying with the Holy Spirit Cult and still had some value to him.

When the Holy Spirit Cult is no longer useful in the future, Tang Ya can deal with it, thereby enhancing the already declining reputation of the Tang Clan.

He replied, "You are indeed a sensible saintess. I do need you to do some things."

He began to make grand promises: "As long as you do a good job of the tasks I have assigned you, I will definitely reward you."

He then began demanding that the Holy Spirit Cult arrest some of the genius Soul Masters from Douluo Continent and bring them near the statue for his screening.

This was actually to find a new star; he hadn't forgotten his purpose.

Moreover, in order to gather the power of faith, he also required the followers of the Holy Spirit Church to devoutly believe in him.

In the end, he spared Masked Douluo, which made Masked Douluo extremely grateful.

Although he had just sent a wisp of his divine sense into the statue and used his aura to intimidate a group of evil soul masters present, this was merely exploiting a loophole. He would never actually take action unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the God of Destruction is now able to access the central hub of the divine realm, making him far more powerful than before.

This also means that, if the God of Destruction is willing, it will be easier to discover that Tang San has done things that do not conform to the rules of the God Realm.

If he were to be discovered to have violated the rules of the divine realm, it would mean that the God of Destruction would inevitably criticize the matter at the divine realm's council.

The God of Destruction might even spread rumors in the God Realm that Tang San, the God of Law Enforcement, did not set a good example.

The matter of Tang San's parents has already spread like wildfire throughout the God Realm. However, Tang San has been a "good god" in the God Realm for many years, so his reputation among the gods is actually very high. Therefore, this matter has not had a significant impact on his reputation.

The image of the God of Destruction is mostly negative in the minds of most deities.

Therefore, Tang San's image in the minds of most gods remains relatively stable.

But if this kind of thing happens again and again, the gods in the God Realm are not fools. They will definitely change their attitude towards Tang San. At that time, it will be difficult for Tang San to win over the other gods.

.......

"What? The Holy Emperor's statue has manifested?" Zhongli Wu looked at Nangong Wan with a completely bewildered expression.

The other party just vividly recounted the process of the Holy Emperor's statue manifesting itself. Although Zhongli Wu is the sect leader, he doesn't believe in the Holy Emperor at all; he only believes in his own strength.

Even the so-called holy sons or daughters, in his eyes, were nothing more than useful tools.

He trained the Holy Maiden only to create another powerful figure for the Holy Spirit Cult before Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao passed away.

After all, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao are already very old, and it's unknown when they might die.

Admittedly, Limit Douluo are very strong and have a lifespan much longer than ordinary Soul Masters, but the lifespan of Limit Douluo is not infinite. One day, they will all die.

Since Zhongli Wu himself lacked confidence in becoming a Limit Douluo, he could only place his hopes on the Holy Maiden.

"Master, isn't this a good thing? With the Holy Emperor here, our Holy Spirit Cult will surely flourish," Nangong Wan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu fell into thought. If the scene described by Nangong Wan was true, then the Holy Emperor must be extremely powerful.

Therefore, in a sense, this is definitely an opportunity for the Holy Spirit Church.

If the Holy Spirit Cult seizes this opportunity, it may soar to new heights and even become an even more powerful force.

As for the fact that the Holy Emperor is a deity, there seems to be no doubt about it at present. After all, the elders and disciples can all testify to the unimaginably powerful pressure.

Chapter 262 The Unforgettable Ghost of Buddha Tang

Zhongli Wu smiled and said, "Good, very good. Nangong Wan, remember, you must try your best to meet the Holy Emperor's requirements."

If we can satisfy the Holy Emperor, perhaps he will truly fulfill his promise and bestow some good things upon us.

By then, the Holy Church's strength will inevitably increase further.

"However, if the Holy Emperor doesn't give us anything good afterward, and just keeps making empty promises and keeping us hanging on."

Then you shouldn't put your heart and soul into doing things for him; just do these things casually to appease him.

Nangong Wan looked at Zhongli Wu with some surprise: "Master, but the Holy Emperor is a god. If we offend a god, won't we suffer bad consequences?"

Historically, any power that offended the gods has almost invariably met an instant annihilation.

He felt that when facing the idol, he couldn't even muster the thought of resistance, after all, the pressure was just too overwhelming.

If I were to actually fight a god, I would definitely be no match for him.

Therefore, in order to save his life, his only thought was to listen to the Holy Emperor and reduce the probability of him killing him.

Zhongli Wu shook his head and said, "Gods are indeed powerful, but I think there are certain flaws to becoming a god."

Throughout history, many powers have indeed perished because they offended the gods. And even powers with divine backing were not immune to their own demise.

"Of course, the reason I say that becoming a god is bound to have flaws is mainly because we haven't seen a god for many years."

Take Tang San of Shrek Academy as an example. As we all know, he is the most famous deity in Douluo Continent and the strongest among the original Seven Devils.

"However, the Tang Sect, which he founded, was crushed in the wave of the Soul Guidance Device era. So-called hidden weapons were powerless against Soul Guidance Devices."

Even if they possessed so-called top-tier hidden weapons, the Tang Clan couldn't bring them out.

Then, the Tang Sect gradually went from being the number one sect on the Douluo Continent to a declining sect that couldn't even be ranked among the best on the Douluo Continent. The difference between then and now is undoubtedly enormous.

"Moreover, among the powerful people in Douluo Continent, there has always been a legend of gods being immortal. If gods can really be immortal, why doesn't the immortal Tang San take action to save the hidden weapons or even save the Tang Sect?"

With the power of a god, accomplishing such a thing would be incredibly easy.

"Therefore, I suspect that becoming a god might come with some kind of limitation, which may be related to the ability to act."

Of course, I have no way of knowing the specifics of the restrictions; this is just my guess.

Nangong Wan, who was standing to the side, pondered for a moment, then flattered, "Master's insight is brilliant."

........

"You mean, the Holy Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult has manifested his power?" Huo Yuhao looked at the undercover agent Ming Lei Douluo he had arranged, somewhat confused. He wondered to himself, can this thing really manifest its power?

He remembered that in the game "Peerless," the Holy Emperor was merely a background character, playing almost no significant role.

Moreover, no one has ever seen the Holy Emperor. However, members of the Holy Spirit Cult will always bring out this background figure to give people a peek when they need a secret code.

“Absolutely true.” Nether Thunder Douluo nodded, a look of excitement appearing on his face. “That lingering pressure still leaves a deep impression on me.”

Even the Limit Douluo cannot compare to it.

Moreover, the Holy Emperor issued some tasks, which he described as tests for us; how can we see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?

test?

Upon hearing the word "test," Huo Yuhao felt a strange sense of familiarity, thinking to himself that the word was too overpowering.

So he quickly asked, "Think about it carefully, isn't there something wrong with your Holy Emperor?"

“Problems?” Ming Lei Douluo pondered for a moment. “There are indeed some problems. I have never understood why the Holy Emperor would issue some strange tasks. He asked us to capture genius soul masters from the Douluo Continent for him to select. Could it be that he wants to further expand the number of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters?”

Moreover, he expects us to have devout faith in him, which, frankly, is too difficult.

After all, we are an organization of evil spirit masters. To make a group of evil spirit masters understand what devout faith is is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit down. He thought to himself, "Is Tang Buddha really that persistent? He even has to use the title of Holy Emperor? No wonder he's the ancestor of evil soul masters."

But if Tang San catches this rising star, it means he will immediately begin his life as a dog.

Huo Yuhao didn't want to be Tang San's dog, so he had no choice but to continue rebelling against Tang San.

Judging from what Ming Lei Douluo said, Tang San seems to still want to collect faith power from the Holy Spirit Cult.

Then I definitely need to find a way to sabotage Tang San in secret and prevent him from getting stronger. Well, I don't necessarily have to confront Tang San directly; I can use other methods.

Huo Yuhao looked at Ming Lei Douluo and said, "Continue to provide intelligence, and find a time to arrange to meet Nangong Wan."

"I will intervene then and turn him into someone like you."
