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

Moreover, according to her plan, once they reached the border, she could break her promise and take Tang Ya away.

Although this evil soul master may have ulterior motives and be preparing to gather more powerful people to stop him, according to Elder Song's idea, there is a group of powerful Shrek elders on the Sun Moon Border who are wantonly destroying the Sun Moon Border Soul Master Corps and attracting the attention of some Sun Moon powerhouses!

With the collective strength of the Shrek Academy elders, as long as I join forces with the other elders, we will surely be able to break through the encirclement and bring Tang Ya back to the academy!

Thinking of this, she prepared to send a telepathic message to He Caitou.

Chapter 517 Huo Yuhao's Arrangements

At this moment, in Sunrise City, He Caitou was leading a group of Earth Dragon Gate hostages out of a courtyard.

Beside him stood the Nether Thunder Douluo, dressed in black robes, and Huo Yuhao, also dressed in black robes and wearing a mask.

He Caitou was able to find these Earth Dragon Gate hostages thanks to the help of Ming Lei Douluo.

After all, Nether Thunder Douluo was a smart man.

Now that he already knows that Huo Yuhao is preparing to release these hostages and return to the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

He naturally wouldn't deliberately go against Huo Yuhao, after all, his life was still in Huo Yuhao's hands.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao didn't even need to ask. After Song Lao and He Caitou separated and went to find Tang Ya, he immediately took He Caitou and Huo Yuhao to find the group of Dilongmen hostages who he had been feeding and caring for.

Suddenly, He Caitou stopped in his tracks and stood still, because Song Lao's gentle voice echoed in his mind.

“He Caitou, Tang Ya is already in my hands. I haven’t revealed my identity yet. I’m ‘holding’ Tang Ya hostage and having the Holy Spirit Cult’s evil soul masters and the Sun Moon Soul Master Corps escort me to the Sun Moon border. You don’t need to worry about my safety. Tang Ya is still the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Maiden. They won’t make a move against me until they are absolutely certain.”

Therefore, you should now gather the other students, take the hostages, and head to Haiyue City. Start from the direction of Riyue Beach, cross the ocean, and travel to the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire, then return to the academy as quickly as possible.

He Caitou was stunned for a moment, his expression becoming complicated. To be honest, he never expected that Old Song would do such a thing.

After all, while what Elder Song did was beneficial to the students and hostages, helping them escape the Sun Moon Empire, it would undoubtedly draw the attention of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Soul Master Corps.

In a sense, Old Song is now in complete danger. Although Tang Ya, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult, is acting as a safety guarantee, this guarantee is not foolproof.

"He Caitou, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao noticed that He Caitou's expression was off and asked instinctively.

He Caitou sighed, casually set up a soundproof soul guide shield to envelop himself and Huo Yuhao. Then, he told Huo Yuhao everything that Elder Song had just transmitted to him, since he was now considered Huo Yuhao's mole in Shrek Academy.

After listening to the message, Huo Yuhao fell into thought. He felt that it was a good thing to let Elder Song take Tang Ya, the Blue Silver Saintess, away. After all, if this happened, the Holy Spirit Cult would not suffer in silence, and the conflict with Shrek Academy would inevitably intensify further.

According to the original work, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult is the successor of the Holy Spirit Cult leader. For example, Ye Xishui was the Holy Maiden in the era of Zhongli Laogui. In the end, Zhongli Laogui made Ye Xishui give birth to Zhongli Wu before he felt at ease handing over the position of leader to Ye Xishui.

Hmm, this script does have some similarities to the situation Bibi Dong encountered back then. Both she and Ye Xishui were saints, and both were forced to have children with people they didn't love.

In the original work, at this point in time, there are two Holy Maidens, Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao. Zhongli Wu still has a choice. Although both Holy Maidens are controlled by his secret methods and can be considered his future henchmen, considering the situation of the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Cult, only the two Holy Maidens are truly qualified to compete for the position of future leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

In the current timeline, there is only one Saintess, Tang Ya, the only successor and future new henchman. Now that she has been taken away by Shrek Academy, how can Zhongli Wu let it go?

The worse the relationship between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy, and the more intense the conflict, the more advantageous it is for them.

Thinking of this, he said, "He Caitou, then do as she says. I will discuss this matter with Elder Kong to ensure that she can bring Tang Ya back to Shrek Academy."

He Caitou said gratefully, "Thank you, Huo Yuhao. You are a good person. Cooperating with you is the best decision I have ever made in my life."

Huo Yuhao, who had been inexplicably given a "friend zone" card, tried his best to keep a straight face. He could actually understand He Caitou's thoughts.

To be honest, based on his observation, He Caitou currently harbors no hatred towards Shrek Academy and even wants to repay the kindness shown to him by Shrek Academy.

Although it's not to the point where we can never repay the kindness of Shrek Academy.

However, since it could bring some benefits to Shrek Academy, He Caitou was generally quite happy.

"It's nothing, just a trivial matter. He Caitou, just don't forget our cooperation. As long as you continue to work for me, one day I will take you to take revenge on Xu Tianran," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Upon hearing the name "Xu Tianran," He Caitou seemed to be injected with adrenaline, and his expression immediately turned fierce, after all, he had a blood feud with Xu Tianran's family.

He nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry, I will definitely continue to help you in order to avenge Xu Tianran!"

At this moment, Ming Lei Douluo approached the soundproof soul guide light shield. His face showed anxiety, as if he had a thousand words to say. He Caitou caught a glimpse of this scene and immediately and cleverly removed the soundproof soul guide shield.

At this moment, Nether Thunder Douluo transmitted his voice to Huo Yuhao: "Master Huo, Youming informed me that the Holy Maiden has been captured alive and taken hostage. Furthermore, the person who kidnapped the Holy Maiden is preparing to head to the border of the Sun and Moon Sect. He wants me to find the top experts in the sect and ask them to help rescue the Holy Maiden. What do you think I should do now?"

Huo Yuhao transmitted his voice: "You can do as he asks, but you don't need to rush your search for the top experts in the sect. Also, when you send messages to the top experts in the sect, you must try your best to connect the two things, the rescue of the hostages and the kidnapping of the Holy Maiden, with Shrek Academy."

Ming Lei Douluo was somewhat surprised, but he still nodded and transmitted his voice, "Alright, then I will set off now to find the top experts in the sect and deliver the message as you requested."

.......

The outer edge of the Demon Forest, near the direction of Mingdu.

There is a magnificent palace built entirely of granite underground, covering more than a thousand acres. If it were to appear on the surface, it would surely attract attention.

This is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult; not many people know about this place.

At this moment, Zhongli Wu flew out of the palace. He glanced at the depths of the Demon Forest, a greedy look on his face. To be honest, he had designs on the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler. If he could kill the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, he would have another powerful undead that he could command.

Unfortunately, he was no match for the Evil Eye Tyrant, so he had to suppress the thought.

"Master, the offerings for the Sovereign this year are ready," Nangong Wan said respectfully as he flew to Zhongli Wu's side.

Chapter 518 The Angry Zhongliwu

Zhongli Wu said, "Alright, then go and take those offerings to the depths of the Demon Forest. When the Lord awakens, he will naturally enjoy those abundant offerings."

In fact, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Evil Eye Tyrant have a cooperative relationship.

Otherwise, how could the Holy Spirit Cult have placed its headquarters underground on the outskirts of the Demon Forest?

This place is very secluded and not easily discovered by humans, making it ideal for setting up headquarters.

However, this is the territory ruled by the Evil Eye Tyrant, who is the absolute ruler of the Demon Forest.

Even if the Holy Spirit Cult were to establish its headquarters here without the permission of the Evil Eye Tyrant, it would one day be destroyed by the Evil Eye Tyrant.

Many years ago, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, two Limit Douluo, came to the Demon Forest and awakened the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler. Relying on their own strength, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao gained the right to be taken seriously by the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

Later, the two reached a cooperation agreement with the Evil Eye Tyrant.

That is, allowing the Holy Spirit Cult to establish its headquarters in the Demon Forest, in return for which the Holy Spirit Cult must prepare offerings for the Evil Eye Tyrant every year.

These offerings included souls, spirit beasts from other places, or living people; to the Evil Eye Tyrant, they were all considered food.

"Yes, Master." Nangong Wan immediately led a group of people to send the offerings deep into the Demon Forest.

Because the Evil Eye Tyrant had agreed, basically none of the slightly intelligent soul beasts in the Demon Forest would obstruct the Holy Spirit Cult's annual "tribute" mission. After all, obstruction meant certain death.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked towards them from afar, flashing with electricity and booming with thunder that echoed around the Demon Forest, reaching the ears of everyone present.

Soon, the lightning bolt struck, transforming into the Nether Thunder Douluo, clad in a black robe.

His face showed panic, and he rushed to Zhongli Wu's side, shouting, "Master, something terrible has happened! The hostages from Risheng City have been rescued, and the Holy Maiden has also been taken hostage!"

"What! What are you all doing? Sunrise City has so many Soul Master Corps members, including Beast King-level Soul Master Corps, and on top of that, you Holy Spirit Cult disciples. Your strength is already quite considerable. Even so, you still ran into trouble?"

Zhongli Wu was somewhat incredulous. He suddenly flew into a rage, his face contorting into a ferocious expression. "Tell me, who rescued the hostages? Who abducted the Holy Maiden?"

For Zhongli Wu, the hostages were meant to threaten the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and they could also be used as cultivation materials later, so they had some value.

Of course, he wouldn't be so furious about this.

What truly angered him was that the saintess had been kidnapped.

For Zhongli Wu, the Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya was actually very important.

The reason is simple: Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, both Limit Douluo, are too old and don't have much time left.

Once these two are gone, the Holy Spirit Cult's strength will inevitably be greatly reduced, its status in the Sun and Moon Empire will plummet, and even its headquarters will have to be abandoned.

After all, the Evil Eye Tyrant is no benevolent being.

The other party agreed to cooperate entirely because of the two Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao; as for himself, he was not even considered a threat.

Once the Holy Spirit Cult loses its Limit Douluo, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord will not hesitate to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters and kill the evil soul masters within, causing enormous losses to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Therefore, whether for their own benefit or for the development of the Holy Spirit Cult, they must cultivate new Limit Douluo in advance to prevent the overall strength of the Holy Spirit Cult from declining too much.

I have limited talent and I estimate that I will never be able to break through to the Limit Douluo level in this lifetime.

However, among the Holy Spirit Cult, the most likely evil soul master to become a Limit Douluo is naturally Tang Ya, the Blue Silver Saintess. After all, according to the standards for judging evil soul masters, Tang Ya is the most talented among the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Her martial soul, Dark Blue Silver Grass, possesses the ability to devour life to aid in cultivation, which is undoubtedly one of the most suitable abilities for evil soul masters.

Moreover, under his secret manipulation, Tang Ya was extremely loyal to him, which was another advantage. He could make Tang Ya "willingly" do a series of things for him.

Therefore, Tang Ya's abduction undoubtedly ignited Zhongli Wu's anger.

Because of Zhongli Wu's reprimand, Ming Lei Douluo's face showed fear, and he said in a trembling voice, "Master, although there is no clear evidence, there are only a handful of forces on the Douluo Continent capable of doing such a thing."

I believe these two incidents were definitely committed by people from Shrek Academy. Master, do you remember the Shrek elders' attack on the Sun-Moon border a couple of days ago, which resulted in their crushing defeat?

Zhongli Wu frowned: "I remember. To be honest, Shrek Academy suffered a huge loss this time. Two Super Douluo died, but in the end, they didn't even kill a single border Soul Master. If I were at the border, I would have already taken the souls of those two Super Douluo."

At this point, he felt a little regretful. After all, souls at the Super Douluo level are rare. If he could collect the souls of these two Super Douluos, he would definitely be able to create a powerful vengeful spirit.

Ming Lei Douluo continued, "Master, I strongly suspect that those elders of the Sun and Moon Sect came to the Sun and Moon Border solely to create pressure on the border, attract the attention of the Sun and Moon powerhouses, and then secretly send powerful figures to Sunrise City to take away the hostages and the Holy Maiden."

Otherwise, why would these Shrek elders suddenly attack the border between the Sun and Moon when the situation is becoming increasingly tense? Wouldn't that escalate the conflict and increase the risk of war?

I think that if there were no profit to be made, the elders of Shrek Academy would never do such a thing.

On the way back to headquarters, I thought about it a lot and felt that there was a high probability that Shrek Academy would implement this plan.

After hearing these words, Zhongli Wu nodded, his face grim: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Perhaps Shrek Academy really did these two things. Damn Shrek Academy, one day I will completely destroy this academy that constantly hinders the great cause of the Holy Church!"

After saying this, he took a deep breath and continued, "Tell me the specifics of these two matters now."

Soon, Ming Lei Douluo quickly informed Zhong Liwu of the details of the two matters. After listening to these words, Zhong Liwu frowned and said, "Even if I were to take action, I wouldn't be entirely confident that I could rescue the Holy Maiden from the other party without harming her. Never mind, I'll go find my mother first."

After saying that, he went to find his mother, Ye Xishui. The reason he didn't go to find Long Xiaoyao was mainly because although Long Xiaoyao was his nominal "Uncle Long," he didn't listen to him at all.

In Zhong Liwu's view, a single word from his mother was more effective than a hundred words from him.

Chapter 519 Ye Xishui's Unpredictable Mood

Soon, he found his mother, Ye Xishui, in an attic in Mingdu.

At this moment, Ye Xishui was wearing a dark red cloak, sitting in a chair with her eyes closed and her breathing even, as if she were asleep.

Seeing this, Zhongli Wu's expression became respectful, and he said cautiously, "Mother, I have two things to report to you."

In his memory, his mother had always been a capricious person who could fly into a rage over the smallest things.
