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

Although spies from the three great empires and Shrek Academy have discovered that the hostages are in Sunrise City, there is still a very critical problem: they don't know the exact location of the hostages in Sunrise City.

Therefore, the plan devised by Song Lao and his group included gathering information after entering the city, and He Caitou, with his dark skin like that of a nobleman, was naturally the most suitable person to do this.

The captain of the guards softened his expression and began to talk to He Caitou. Although he was the captain of the guards, because some Soul Master Corps had recently been stationed in Sunrise City, the main defense matters were all taken over by those Soul Master Corps.

His main duties at present are to check who enters the city and to direct the guards to open and close the gates. Now that the city gates are closed, he can naturally spend a lot of time talking with He Caitou. As for the other guards, they are unlikely to report him, after all, he still has to give these guards money later!

He Caitou also raised other questions from time to time. After a while, He Caitou led the others away and began to explore various parts of Sunrise City separately. However, they still failed to find the location where the Sun Moon Empire was holding hostages, so they had to find a hotel in Sunrise City to stay temporarily.

.......

The border between the sun and the moon.

Inside a camp tent.

Huo Yuhao sat in the chair, his mind churning with thoughts.

"Although Elder Zhuang and Elder Lin are dead, their souls have not been completely annihilated. Instead, Elder Yi collected them and stuffed them into the undead demiplane for modification."

Elder Zhuang is the only support-type Super Douluo at Shrek Academy.

As for Elder Lin, he is in charge of Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion and a steadfast supporter of the Soul Guidance System's Super Douluo.

"However, I should go to Sunrise City now. Since the Holy Spirit Cult has imprisoned the people of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and Shrek Academy has also sent people to Sunrise City to rescue the hostages, I can suppress the Holy Spirit Cult and use some means to make these people from the Douluo Three Kingdoms my spies in the Douluo Three Kingdoms! Help me to secretly undermine Shrek Academy's reputation."

Thinking of this, he sent a telepathic message to Kong Deming, informing him that he was leaving the Sun and Moon Border. Then, Huo Yuhao began to call upon the dimensional consciousness in his mind, asking it to teleport him to Sunrise City.

.......

night.

In the hotel room, the soul-guided lamps emitted a warm, yellowish glow.

He Caitou lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and sighed helplessly.

He searched the entire city of Sunrise today, but still couldn't find where the hostages were being held.

This was undoubtedly a blow to him.

Although he had agreed to be Huo Yuhao's undercover agent, he still had feelings for Shrek Academy and naturally hoped to complete Shrek Academy's mission.

His thoughts gradually wandered: "Huo Yuhao's previous task for me was to join the Star Luo Army. To be honest, joining the Star Luo Army is not difficult."

The Star Luo Army has already promised me a relatively high position.

The current problem is that the academy won't release me. Of course, that's understandable; after all, I'm a beneficiary of the Extreme Individual Soldier Program, and I should contribute to the academy as much as possible. However, once the war begins, I should be able to join the Star Luo army.

Chapter 506 The Task for He Caitou

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the doorway: "He Caitou, I need you to do something for me."

He Caitou immediately sat up in bed because he recognized Huo Yuhao's voice.

He looked in the direction the sound came from and found Huo Yuhao leaning against the door, staring at him.

He immediately tensed up and lowered his voice: "How did you get in? Was anyone seen? Did you set up a soundproof soul-guided shield?"

It's important to understand that although Shrek Academy is very wealthy and so everyone doesn't live in the same room, the soundproofing in the rooms isn't particularly good for everyone's safety. If Shrek Academy discovers that he's acting as an undercover agent for Huo Yuhao, the consequences will undoubtedly be very serious.

Of course, his first concern was how his beloved teacher, Fan Yu, would view him after learning about this.

After all, it was Teacher Fanyu who brought me back to Shrek Academy when I was in trouble, and then carefully nurtured me. Later, the other party even took me as a disciple. This was undoubtedly a great favor that I could not fail to repay.

If it weren't for the desire to avenge himself against the current Sun Moon Royal Family, especially Emperor Xu Tianran, he wouldn't have wanted to be an undercover agent for Huo Yuhao. Instead, he would have preferred to spend more time researching soul tools.

Huo Yuhao said somewhat helplessly, "You don't need to worry about how I got in. Don't worry, apart from you, none of the other Shrek students saw me. As for the soundproof soul guide shield, of course I've already set it up, so you don't need to worry about our conversation being overheard by others."

As he spoke, he walked toward He Caitou.

He Caitou's expression softened slightly, and his previously tense body relaxed.

He looked at Huo Yuhao, somewhat puzzled: "You want me to do something? What can I possibly do for you? This is the Sun Moon Empire, which should be your home turf. No matter what, I can't offer you any help."

For a moment, doubts arose in his mind.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "What you said is not entirely correct. Even in the Sun Moon Empire, you can provide me with assistance. I need you to take the rest of the team and bring those hostages from the Douluo Three Kingdoms back to the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

He Caitou was stunned when he heard these words.

These hostages are also a card for the Sun Moon Empire to use to restrain the Douluo Three Kingdoms, making the Douluo Three Kingdoms wary.

But Huo Yuhao wanted to take these hostages away himself. Wasn't that an act of betrayal against the Sun Moon Empire?

No, you betrayed the Star Luo Empire before, and now you're planning to sell out the Sun Moon Empire too?

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Huo Yuhao, could it be that you have betrayed the Sun Moon Empire, abandoned the darkness for the light, and are preparing to join Shrek Academy? If that's really your idea, we can actually talk again. Don't worry, with your talent, there's nothing we can't discuss."

Huo Yuhao walked to a chair near He Caitou, plopped down, and looked helpless. He felt that He Caitou's thought process was a bit strange, how did he come up with this idea?

Strictly speaking, he only betrayed the Sun Moon Royal Family, not the Sun Moon Empire. In general, the Sun Moon Royal Family and the Sun Moon Empire are completely different things.

Moreover, joining Shrek Academy is also considered abandoning darkness and turning to the light?

Given Shrek Academy's various advantages, he felt that abandoning the Sun Moon Empire and joining Shrek Academy was a complete waste of time. After all, even Shrek's most valuable asset, the Golden Tree, was now under his control.

He slowly began to speak, “He Caitou, I cannot join Shrek Academy. I will provide a place for the hostages to be held and help them escape from here.”

However, in Shrek Academy and the Douluo Three Kingdoms, you must be the one who openly rescues these hostages. You will take the credit, and your reputation in the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy will be enhanced. This way, you can do more things for me.

After all, he was already prepared to send this group of people back to Douluo Three Kingdoms to become his spies in Douluo Three Kingdoms, so naturally he needed to find a suitable reason to send them back.

He Caitou was a good person to take credit. Since there was already a cooperative relationship between them, letting He Caitou take some benefits would allow them to benefit more in the future.

At this moment, He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao with a shifting gaze.

He was pondering whether he should agree to Huo Yuhao's arrangement. Huo Yuhao's plan was indeed very beneficial to him, but the problem was that he didn't understand why Huo Yuhao was doing this. Could it really be just to boost his reputation?

No, that's impossible. Huo Yuhao must have other motives.

After a moment's thought, he finally made a decision: no matter what, as long as he could bring all these hostages back, it would be a good thing for himself, for the three great empires, and even for the academy.

As for Huo Yuhao's other purposes, now is not the time to think about that.

He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Huo Yuhao said, "I will come and inform you of the location tomorrow afternoon. Before that, you can wander around Sunrise City more and not let yourself be too idle."

He Caitou understood that the other party meant for him to pretend to have accidentally discovered the location where the Sun Moon Empire was holding hostages during his investigation, and then make a great contribution.

He immediately agreed, and then Huo Yuhao left He Caitou's room to search for the hostages. For Huo Yuhao, finding the hostages was not difficult.

......

Sunrise City.

Water dungeon.

A group of people were soaking in the icy river water, their faces pale and their breath weak. They looked at the iron fence around them with despair on their faces.

Those who can represent their respective academies or sects to compete in the Sun Moon Empire are naturally the young elites of their respective forces, who are usually highly sought after. Even if they lose in the competition, they can still enjoy good treatment after returning to their sects.

Now they are prisoners whose lives are in danger, a stark contrast that many find hard to accept.

On the stone platform between the two rows of dungeons, a group of evil spirit masters dressed in black robes were watching the prisoners with longing in their eyes.

Most evil spirit masters are bloodthirsty beings, and this group of prisoners is undoubtedly a batch of excellent cultivation materials for many evil spirit masters. If it weren't for the higher-ups saying that these hostages had some use and that important hostages should be preserved, they would have been killed by the evil spirit masters long ago.

Of course, some hostages have already been captured, tortured, or even killed by some bloodthirsty and mentally unstable evil spirit masters.

At this moment, on the stone platform, a tall evil spirit master dressed in black robes lashed out a whip that glowed with black light, pulling a girl out of the water prison.

The girl looked terrified and immediately began to struggle, but the whip was like a living snake; the more she struggled, the tighter it wrapped around her.

Chapter 507 The Three Zhongli Brothers

However, the more the girl struggled, the more excited the evil spirit master wielding the long whip became.

In fact, for some evil spirit masters who enjoy torturing people, it is not interesting, and even a bit bland, if the person being tortured is submissive.

But if the person being tortured is someone who loves to fight back, then it becomes very interesting.

Thinking of this, he became even more pleased and prepared to torture the girl who was wrapped in a whip in public.

At that moment, the other hostages in the water dungeon, unable to bear witnessing the impending tragedy, all closed their eyes.

After all, they couldn't offer the girl any help at all; even if they cursed the person, it would only backfire.

However, everyone still held onto hope that if Douluo Three Kingdoms or Shrek Academy sent someone, they might be able to save them.

But the next moment, a thunderous shout rang in his ears: "Put her down. The hostages here are of great use. If too many hostages are killed or injured, and the Holy Church's grand plan is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"

The tall evil spirit master's entire body trembled involuntarily, because he recognized the voice as that of the Nether Thunder Douluo. He immediately put the girl back into the water prison, then turned his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Above the stone platform, Nether Thunder Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy, looking very upset. Beside Elder Nether Thunder Douluo was a person dressed in black robes and wearing a mask.

"Third Elder, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time." The tall evil spirit master immediately knelt down, looking very spineless, while the other evil spirit masters also knelt down.

As an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Ming Lei Douluo was far superior to these disciples in terms of status and strength.

If one offends the Nether Thunder Douluo, life in the Holy Sect will certainly be difficult. One might even be punished by this elder from time to time, which would be troublesome.

Ming Lei Douluo looked at the tall evil soul master kneeling on the ground, his face stern, and said coldly, "You are punished to find Wan Hun Douluo and Zan Zhuo Douluo to participate in the hunt for sea soul beasts. As for the others, I will handle things here. Now you can go and attend to other matters."

"Yes." The tall evil spirit master stood up tremblingly, and the other Holy Spirit Cult disciples also stood up, preparing to leave the place.

Seeing this, Nether Thunder Douluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know why Huo Yuhao had come to Sunrise City and asked him to bring him to the water prison to see the hostages from the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

However, in his view, Huo Yuhao's purpose could not possibly be that simple. After all, just looking at the hostages was not very meaningful, and the other party would not have bothered to come to the water dungeon in person.

Therefore, the fewer evil spirit masters there are in the water prison, the easier it will be for Huo Yuhao to do other things.

Although he didn't know what Huo Yuhao wanted to do, his life was in Huo Yuhao's hands, so he naturally had to hold his nose and consider Huo Yuhao's interests. Even if he had to be subservient to Huo Yuhao in order to prolong his life, it was still better than dying and never seeing Nan Shuishui again.

In fact, because the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult joined forces to capture hostages, the Earth Dragon Cult members who came to Mingdu to participate in the competition were not spared either, and soon fell into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, Ming Lei Douluo was clever. He had been lured and captured by Huo Yuhao using Nan Shuishui, so he knew that the two must have a relationship. Therefore, he found a courtyard and arranged for all the Dragon Gate people, including Nan Shuishui and her daughter, to stay there. He provided them with good food and drink and did not do anything out of line. After all, he was an elder and had the support of the vice sect leader Feng Ling, who was now on the same side, so he still had this much power.

At that moment, a familiar, annoying voice rang out near the stone platform: "Third Elder, the disciples of the sect are merely preparing to torture a hostage. This is the nature of evil soul masters. Why punish him for this?"

Moreover, I'm now quite curious about the black-robed man beside you. According to the rules of the Holy Church, unauthorized personnel are not allowed in the water dungeon. You've dismissed all the disciples, yet you've left this strange black-robed man behind. What is your intention?"

At this moment, the Holy Spirit Cult disciples who were originally preparing to leave all stopped in their tracks.
