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

Of course, becoming a Soul Emperor was not a difficult thing for Nana. She was already a Soul King when she was seventeen years old. Although taking pills was an factor, it is actually a very normal phenomenon for Soul Masters to improve their strength by taking pills.

Soon, Nana entered the inner room, looked at the Holy Spirits, and respectfully said, "Holy Spirits!"

"Hmm." The Second Holy Spirit nodded, then said, "Sixth Holy Servant, go and cultivate."

Nana pleaded, “Great Holy Spirit, may I see my parents?”

Her parents' souls are still in the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult, which is the root cause of her joining the cult, because if she does not agree to their demands, they will torment her parents' souls.

“Meet your parents? Servant Number Six, have I been too lenient with you? I remember you just met your parents’ souls not long ago! One should not push one’s luck,” the Second Holy Spirit sneered.

Nana's expression changed slightly; she wanted to try again, "But, the Second Holy Spirit..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Second Holy Spirit waved his hand, interrupting her. "Alright, that's enough. Go and cultivate diligently. If you behave well, I'll allow you to see your parents again in a month. Sixth Holy Servant, you don't want me to torment your parents' souls, do you?"

Nana's face paled, and she immediately apologized: "Second Holy Spirit, please don't torment my parents' souls. I will definitely cultivate diligently and strive to become a Holy Spirit disciple as soon as possible!"

"Hmm." The Second Holy Spirit nodded and waved his hand dismissively. "Go, strive to become one of us as soon as possible, and then we will naturally release your parents' souls."

Chapter 109 When did you get the illusion that I would surrender?

Nana dragged her heavy steps toward the inner room. She was powerless to resist the Holy Spirit Cult, partly because her parents' souls were in their hands.

On the other hand, it's because this branch is quite strong.

According to her memory, this branch was overseen by a Seven-Ring Soul Saint. However, this Seven-Ring Soul Saint rarely came here. Most of the time, the people who stayed in this branch to handle matters were actually the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit.

A seven-ring Soul Saint might not be considered particularly strong at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but for Nana, he was already an insurmountable powerhouse.

"Strive to cultivate myself so that my parents' souls may be freed as soon as possible."

Thoughts began to surface in Nana's mind.

Suddenly, a sharp cry came from behind her: "Jing Hongchen? Huo Yuhao? Why are you here?"

Nana subconsciously stopped and turned her head to look. Sure enough, the people who came were Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao. A look of shock appeared on her face.

As the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Jing Hongchen was actually very famous in the Sun Moon Empire. This was partly because there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with him, and partly because he was a level nine soul master.

For most people in the Sun Moon Empire, a level nine Soul Master is undoubtedly someone they cannot afford to offend, so it is naturally very necessary to remember what a level nine Soul Master looks like.

Jing Hongchen is the ninth-level Soul Master who has appeared in front of the public the most, so recognizing Jing Hongchen is naturally not difficult.

As for Huo Yuhao, since he was a member of the champion team and washed away the shame of Sun Moon's failure to win the championship for more than four thousand years, Huo Yuhao is now a household name in the Sun Moon Empire.

Jing Hongchen's face turned ashen: "So this is the Holy Spirit Cult! It seems I've been too lenient with you all along, to the point that you've even gone so far as to threaten outstanding students of my college. Nana, come to me, I will stand up for you!"

Jing Hongchen heard everything Nana and the Second Holy Spirit had said, so he was naturally furious. He had indeed been in contact with the Holy Spirit Cult, but he never expected them to go to such extremes.

He had some understanding of the evil spirit master's methods; the other party was imprisoning Nana's parents' souls to threaten Nana.

Upon hearing these words, Nana immediately ran towards Jing Hongchen and quickly arrived at his side.

The Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit did not dare to stop them. They were sweating profusely. In their opinion, with their strength, dealing with Huo Yuhao would not be a problem. In their impression, although Huo Yuhao was very famous, he was only a Soul Venerable. How strong could a Soul Venerable be?

However, if he were to fight Jing Hongchen, he would definitely be crushed. After all, Jing Hongchen is a Title Douluo and a Level 9 Soul Master. Even if evil soul masters have outstanding combat power and can fight beyond their level, under normal circumstances, even a Soul Emperor-level evil soul master would be defeated when facing a Title Douluo.

"Dean Jing, please calm down and let me explain." The Great Holy Spirit was somewhat flustered.

He could feel the immense pressure emanating from Jing Hongchen. If the dean were to actually make a move, he would be doomed. He was well aware of the vast difference in strength between the two sides.

“Yes, Dean Jing, please calm down. We can sit down and talk about it.” An old man in a black robe came out from the inner room and said in a somewhat ingratiating manner.

This person is none other than the Seven-Ring Soul Saint who is in charge of the branch.

“If you surrender, then I’ll have a proper talk with you.” Jing Hongchen’s face darkened, and his soul rings rippled around him.

Then he hovered in mid-air and made a sudden move. A golden rope flew out from his side and headed straight for the old man in black robes. He wanted to capture him alive and bring him to Kong Deming.

Huo Yuhao's safety was actually guaranteed because he encountered a retainer while tracking Nana.

This elder is now hiding in the shadows, ready to protect Huo Yuhao, the deputy hall master of the Hall of Worship, at any time. Besides, while he is fighting a Soul Saint, he can still spare some time to help Huo Yuhao.

The old man in black robes' expression changed slightly, and seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—rose from his body. A large amount of black mist also dissipated from him, and some black skeletons broke through the wall behind him and rushed towards the golden rope.

A defensive soul-guided shield began to appear on his body.

Surrendering was out of the question. It wasn't that he felt it was shameful to surrender, but rather that imprisoning Nana's parents' souls and then threatening Nana was indeed dishonorable.

If this matter comes to the forefront, it will cause some trouble.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult has not yet become a national guardian cult. According to the strategy of the cult leader Zhong Liwu, they can secretly target those soul masters or ordinary people without a background, but they can only kill a certain number of people each year.

However, those with powerful backgrounds should absolutely not be provoked. This is not because the Holy Spirit Cult is afraid of those with powerful backgrounds, but mainly because Zhongli Wu and Xu Tianran have some agreements.

As the saying goes, nothing can be accomplished without rules. If the Holy Spirit Cult were to engage in rampant killing within the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran's future throne would be uncertain.

His behavior did indeed cross the line. Nana is a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and her father is a hereditary baron. Barons are trash, but they are still nobles. It's one thing to do this in private, but once it gets out from Jing Hongchen's side, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some high-ranking nobles.

Who would want to see fellow nobles imprisoned by the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult? If they dare to imprison a baron's soul today, wouldn't they dare to imprison an earl's soul tomorrow?

Even Xu Tianran will feel the pressure at that time, and the promotion of the National Protection Cult will inevitably encounter some resistance.

This means it will cause some trouble for the cult leader.

In the Holy Spirit Cult, those who cause trouble for the leader are generally punished extremely severely; some of them have graves overgrown with weeds that are now three meters tall.

The golden rope burst forth with light, and with a snap, the black skeletons were instantly destroyed. Then, the golden rope directly bound the defensive soul guide shield, gradually tightening, and cracks began to appear on the soul guide shield.

The old man immediately continued to use his defensive soul guide shield. He used all his gold soul coins to buy things to save his life. He even had a level seven invincible shield, so he firmly believed that he could hold out for a while if Jing Hongchen wanted to capture him alive.

Now it all depends on whether the Great Holy Spirit and the Two Holy Spirits can adapt to the situation.

When the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit saw this scene, they initially considered escaping, but facing Jing Hongchen, a ninth-level Soul Master, they felt that their chances of escaping were slim.

Therefore, they set their sights on the weakest of them, Huo Yuhao. As long as they captured this famous genius and used him as a hostage, they would be able to escape unscathed.

"Sixth Holy Servant, seize him quickly! Remember, do not kill him!" the Great Holy Spirit shouted as he rushed over.

Nana looked at Huo Yuhao, a look of struggle on her face.

The two Holy Spirits shouted sternly, "What are you still dawdling for! Hurry up and attack Huo Yuhao! Remember, your parents' souls are still here with us. If you don't obey, we will torture your parents' souls!"

Nana trembled, looked at the two Holy Spirits, gritted her teeth, and said, "I would never do such a thing."

Nana wasn't stupid. Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao's appearance was too abrupt. According to Nana's deduction, they must have noticed her abnormality and therefore chose to follow her here.

Since they are willing to help me, how can I betray them?

Given Nana's education, she wouldn't do such a thing.

Dad, Mom, Nana is so sorry.

The thought that her parents' souls might be tormented later made Nana's eyes redden.

"You filthy hussy! You actually betrayed us at the last minute!" The Second Holy Spirit's face grew increasingly gloomy. Black mist churned around his body, and one of his hands turned as black as ink as ink. He reached straight for Huo Yuhao.

"Huo Yuhao, this is my business, it has nothing to do with you, you should leave." Nana, holding the level-five soul tool Crimson Flame Blade, blocked the attack of the two Holy Spirits. With a clang, sparks flew everywhere.

She felt that Huo Yuhao had good talent, but his strength was average and he couldn't deal with a Soul Emperor.

Suddenly, the Great Holy Spirit took out a Holy Spirit Flag and waved it wildly. A large number of vengeful spirits emerged and attacked the two of them.

"Not bad, Huo Yuhao, you know what's good for you. Surrender now, and we won't kill you."

When the Great Holy Spirit saw Huo Yuhao standing still, a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

Huo Yuhao said, "When did you get the idea that I would surrender without a fight?"

Almost instantly, the gold in his eyes faded, replaced by gray.

Chapter 110 Mirror of the Mortal World: Huo Yuhao Has the Appearance of a God

Upon hearing this, the Great Holy Spirit paused for a moment, then laughed: "Huo Yuhao, you are indeed a genius, I won't deny that, but even geniuses need time to grow. You seem to be a little too confident."

Don't worry, no matter what, I won't kill you.

"If you get killed, my life will be in danger. However, you'd better surrender; that way you'll suffer less."

He had great confidence in these vengeful spirits, because they were vengeful spirits from the Holy Spirit Flag, a level-seven soul tool.

The so-called Holy Spirit Flag can only be used by someone who is extremely skilled in soul manipulation. In this branch, only the Great Holy Spirit and the old man in black robes can use it.

"Huo Yuhao, you should leave now!" Nana's expression changed slightly.

She thought to herself that these two were both Soul Emperors among evil Soul Masters, and they wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against ordinary Soul Saints.

Moreover, her soul tool has virtually no special effect on vengeful spirits.

Therefore, when she faced vengeful spirits, it can be said that most of her strength was rendered useless.

Even though her martial soul is a ghost, which can directly cause some damage to the soul, she is still powerless against so many vengeful spirits.

Therefore, the best course of action for Huo Yuhao is to run away as soon as possible. As for himself, he naturally won't run away, because his parents' souls are still in the hands of these guys.

If I could sacrifice my own life to ignite the dean's rage and kill these evil guys, it would undoubtedly be a worthwhile thing to do.

At this moment, the old man in black robes looked at this scene with surprise and delight. His mind was racing. "The Great Holy Spirit is a clever and good child. Once we capture Huo Yuhao and use him to threaten Jing Hongchen, we can escape alive."

He subconsciously looked away and glanced at Jing Hongchen, sensing that the other party seemed a bit off. Logically speaking, a genius like Huo Yuhao should have attracted the other party's attention, but why did Jing Hongchen seem indifferent?

Did he think that Huo Yuhao and Nana alone could deal with those vengeful spirits?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when it vanished instantly. From a strength perspective, Huo Yuhao was no match for those vengeful spirits. Therefore, he only needed to keep using his defensive soul guide shield and invincible shield to withstand their attacks.

Fortunately, Jing Hongchen was prepared to capture him alive, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.

Is Huo Yuhao good at dealing with vengeful spirits?

The answer is yes.

Electrolux was, after all, a necromancer and a holy mage, so dealing with vengeful spirits was a piece of cake for him. Because there were evil spirit masters in this world, Electrolux taught Huo Yuhao a magic called Purification Light during the time Huo Yuhao returned from the Soul Battle Tournament.

So when those vengeful spirits attacked, surrounding Huo Yuhao and emitting shrieks, the Eye of Destiny between Huo Yuhao's brows immediately fluctuated, and he uttered a low shout: "Purify!"

A circle of pure white light emanated from Huo Yuhao and instantly spread outwards.

All the vengeful spirits stopped moving and gradually revealed human faces.

As for the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit, their faces were contorted and they howled in pain as they were illuminated by the light of purification, and a large amount of black mist appeared on their bodies.

"Impossible! I feel my soul being destroyed by you. In the Holy Spirit Cult, only the Holy Emperor possesses such power. Could you be the one our cult has been searching for all this time..." Before the Great Holy Spirit could finish speaking, he and the Second Holy Spirit turned into ashes under the light of purification.

Huo Yuhao had no intention of sparing their lives. After all, these two were just disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect, and their status in the sect was not particularly high. Even if he spared their lives, he wouldn't be able to extract any valuable information from them.
