Huo Yuhao stood expressionlessly in a luxurious room in the Qingse Hotel under Xishui League, admiring the scene of Mingdu through the window.
This place is only two kilometers away from the Imperial City of the Sun and Moon Empire. It is in an absolutely prime location and is an important stronghold for the Xishui Alliance and the Holy Spirit Sect.
On the surface, he was looking at the scenery boredly, but in fact, he was using mental detection to investigate everything around him, and at the same time, he was carefully analyzing the information he currently had.
Today, many evil soul masters from the Holy Spirit Sect gathered in this hotel.
The Xishui Alliance is the official property of the Holy Spirit Sect. The leader of the alliance is the second elder Tian Centipede Douluo Nangong Wan, but the entire property of the Xishui Alliance is controlled by the deputy leader Fengling.
On weekdays, there are several elders such as the third elder Netherworld Douluo and the fourth elder Netherworld Douluo who are always stationed in the Xishui Alliance.
The third elder, Netherworld Thunder Douluo, only has a cultivation level of ninety-two, but because he is still a ninth-level soul master, he ranks very high.
Huo Yuhao thought quietly.
He was thinking about how to hunt evil soul masters efficiently.
With his current status as the Holy Son, he can easily contact the evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Religion.
As long as he seizes the opportunity when those evil soul masters are left alone, when he takes action, with the help of the Ice and Snow Emperors, even an elder at the Titled Douluo level will be confident that he can win.
Although those Titled Douluo elders would not be the opponents of the Ice and Snow Emperors, if they really risked their lives, it would still be possible to escape. Moreover, a battle at the Title Douluo level would definitely leave a huge stir, and the aftermath of the battle would also spread far and wide.
But Huo Yuhao has already thought about how to solve it.
Just trick those elders into the demiplane of the undead.
Once entering the demiplane of the undead, even the titled Douluo elders cannot escape.
The question before Huo Yuhao now is how to advance the hunting process.
Top down or bottom up?
Starting from the elders at the top, you can quickly reduce the strength of the Holy Spirit Sect. Hunting one person a month, twenty titled Douluo would hunt them all in less than two years.
But that's obviously unrealistic.
No matter how weak a Titled Douluo was, he would be at the top of any organization. His silent disappearance would definitely arouse high alert, not to mention a cult like the Holy Spirit Religion that relied on brainwashing to achieve a very high level of organization.
Once they succeed once or twice, the Holy Spirit Cult will definitely realize that there is a force targeting them, and start to take strict precautions, and they may also be exposed.
So it should still be done from the bottom up.
The Holy Spirit Cult has many strongholds, and the low-level evil soul masters below are managed by the elders of various sub-chambers, and those elders of the sub-chambers are subordinate to the eight elders.
Those middle and low-level evil soul masters are the best targets. Even if they die, the eight elders will only think that they accidentally provoked some big shot, and the investigation intensity will not be too strong.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"It seems that you have a new idea." The Snow Emperor's cold voice sounded, "Where is your original plan to destroy the group? It is not a good habit to change your order overnight."
"This is not something that can be changed overnight. I can carry out both lines at the same time."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said: "What's more, even the policies that determine the country's future and destiny can change the general direction in a short period of time. It should be understandable for my small plan to change the specific plan according to the actual situation, right?"
At this moment, the door was opened, and an attendant came in and said cautiously: "Sir, the leader of the alliance has a meeting to invite you to attend."
"Yes." Huo Yuhao responded lightly and walked out.
In the luxurious conference room, there were four titled Douluo including Deputy Leader Feng Ling, Fire Phoenix Saint Ma Xiaotao, several Soul Douluo, and more than a dozen young evil soul masters, almost all of whom were with the Soul King. Soul Emperor level. Huo Yuhao had met several of them during the ascension ceremony.
Huo Yuhao was the last one to enter the conference room. As soon as he entered, he heard a voice say: "Welcome to the Holy Son."
Except for Fengling, her subordinate Ma Xiaotao and several elders who were sitting, everyone else stood up and saluted.
Huo Yuhao snorted lightly, walked to Fengling, and scanned the evil soul masters with his eyes.
Facing so many titled Douluo, he was not afraid at all.
Among the four titled Douluo, apart from the second elder and the third elder, there was an old man in black who was very special.
He is thin and has dark skin. He has two eyebrows, one high and one low. There is a king character on his forehead. He is squinting his eyes and observing each other with Huo Yuhao.
His strength has reached the Super Douluo level.
"I have never seen this person during the ascension ceremony." Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
This person gave him a different feeling from Fengling and others. He had a hint of the aura of an evil soul master, but it was not rich and pure.
Fengling introduced: "Zhang Peng, this is the Holy Son our sect has just found. Holy Son, this is the Scorpion Tiger Douluo of the Enshrinement Hall, Senior Zhang Peng."
Huo Yuhao greeted him politely: "I've met Zhang Chongfeng."
Zhang Peng narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "Deputy leader, I have heard about the Holy Son for a long time. The Holy Son can summon the beast soul to defeat Yan Feng. The Holy Son is really good at it."
Huo Yuhao remained silent.
Fengling nodded slightly, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "I summoned everyone here today to convey the order of the leader."
"Our religion has cooperated with the Sun and Moon Royal Family to participate in the upcoming Young Soul Master Competition under the pseudonym Holy Spirit Sect and in the name of the sect."
Then Fengling briefly introduced the new format of the competition.
"Due to the introduction of sect teams in this competition, there are bound to be many strong contenders for the championship."
"Your mission is to help the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy eliminate their opponents and escort them to win the championship."
"At that time, the royal family will do some tricks in the group drawing. You will not run into Sun Moon College, so don't worry."
A young evil soul master asked in confusion: "Deputy Leader, even if we don't collide with Sun Moon College, how can we ensure that they can enter the finals?"
"In addition to Shrek Academy, there must be many powerful sects."
Feng Ling chuckled: "If Sun Moon Academy is eliminated early, it will be your turn to perform."
"The days of the Sun and Moon Emperor are running out. When the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, he will declare our holy religion to be the state religion of the Sun and Moon Empire. Winning the championship will naturally be of great benefit to our religion."
Having said this, Fengling turned to look at Huo Yuhao: "Haha, Holy Son, Yan Feng, the strongest among the younger generation of our sect, was injured by you during the ascension ceremony. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to compete."
"I wonder if you have any intention to compete?"
Huo Yuhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at the group of young evil soul masters, looking at each other.
There was no deliberate release of pressure, but a hint of contempt and teasing in his cold gaze.
Those evil soul master geniuses who were prolific murderers at such a young age subconsciously felt fearful just by meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze, and avoided looking at him, daring not to look at him.
"How could I let go of such an interesting thing? It's just..." Huo Yuhao smiled.
"Just what?"
"I have no interest in participating in the boring knockout matches ahead, nor in the individual matches. I will only participate in team battles with the intensity of the semi-finals."
He looked at the young evil soul masters coldly: "If you are eliminated by other teams before the semi-finals, I think your Soul Emperor cultivation will be in vain. You can sacrifice them all to the Holy Emperor."
Several young evil soul masters felt a chill down their spines, lowered their heads and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Holy Son."
Seeing this, Fengling nodded with satisfaction and said: "With the Holy Son here, the championship of the competition will definitely be in my teaching bag."
"But you still have to be careful and restrain yourself in the competition, so as not to bring shame on the prince."
"When the competition is over, you will naturally go on a killing spree."
Huo Yuhao has now determined that Xu Tianran will connect with the Holy Spirit Cult and take action against all participating teams at the end of the next competition.
Are you afraid they will demolish Mingdu?
The Holy Spirit Church doesn't care about this. What they want is more and more killing, chaos, death and resentful spirits.
Fengling looked at the second elder and the third elder again: "Second elder, third elder, how are the preparations for the underground soul master competition going?"
The second elder said: "I am asking the leader to contact the royal family to see if I can invite a ninth-level soul master to be worshiped by the royal family. At the same time, I have already been negotiating with the Ordinary League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Third child, are your apprentices sure? ?”
The third elder looked at the two young evil soul masters and said, "Huang Zheng, Mok."
The two young evil spirit masters who were called said, "Teacher, I will not let you down."
At this time, Huo Yuhao spoke: "Deputy leader, what is this underground soul teacher competition?"
Feng Ling explained: "Holy Son, you don't know something. The current prince hates gambling very much, and the profits from gambling are huge. We, the Xishui Alliance, can't give up, so we united with the other two underground forces to plan to join forces. Hold an underground soul mentor competition."
Huo Yuhao asked: "Compared to what?"
"It's better than making a soul guide."
The second elder smiled: "With the opportunity of this Soul Master Competition, our Xishui Alliance will make a lot of money. The bets for this competition also include a large amount of rare metals and mineral mining rights, and we will also take this opportunity. Increase control over rare metal mines.”
"Holy Son, in Mingdu, you should know how huge profits and business it is to control rare metal mines, right?"
"Rare metal mines?" Huo Yuhao murmured and suddenly laughed, from a small sneer at the beginning to a loud laugh later.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Ma Xiaotao, who had been silent all this time, said coldly.
"I just suddenly remembered a funny thing." Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, "Compared to rare metal mines, isn't this Mingdu a bigger and more valuable mine?"
Fengling asked with great interest: "What kind of mine?"
Huo Yuhao sneered and said two words in a cold and contemptuous voice.
"Man Mine."
The luxurious conference room fell silent for a moment. Not only Fengling, the second elder, the third elder, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, but also the dozen or so young evil soul masters were all stunned when they heard these two words.
Soon, Fengling reacted and applauded sincerely, her eyes filled with admiration.
The other elders also laughed loudly.
"Holy Son, you are simply the born king of evil soul masters."
"Human mine, what a human mine, hahaha."
…
Late at night, in the suburbs of Mingdu, there is a Holy Spirit Sect stronghold.
Huo Yuhao burst into the door expressionlessly.
"Who are you?" A saint wearing a white bamboo hat yelled, releasing his martial soul and having all five soul rings lit up, he was about to kill Huo Yuhao.
"Bastard!" The elder from the branch next to him struck him with a palm, knocking his body away, and then walked towards Huo Yuhao with feverish eyes.
He said respectfully: "I have met the Holy Son. The Holy Son is appointed by heaven. I didn't know that the Holy Son is here. Please forgive me for any offense."
Huo Yuhao did not pursue the etiquette issue, but asked calmly: "Which elder do you belong to? Are you two the only ones here?"
This branch elder was just a soul emperor. He had met Huo Yuhao during the previous spirit ascension ceremony and spirit welcoming ceremony.
He nodded and said: "Lord Holy Son, we are affiliated with the Eighth Elder. Our mission is to go to the border of the Star Luo Empire to search for suitable holy servants and cause destruction. There are only two of us here."
"I am returning to the Sun and Moon Empire this time to attend your welcome ceremony. In a few days, we will return to the Star Luo Empire."
"I have the honor to witness your holy power with my own eyes. It is truly wonderful."
At this time, the Holy Spirit next to him also reacted and said enthusiastically and respectfully: "I have seen the Holy Son."
Huo Yuhao asked coldly: "Since we are about to leave for the Star Luo Empire, that means you won't be able to come back in the short term, right?
"Seeing it with your own eyes is not enough. Do you want to experience it for yourself?"
"Ah?" Before the branch elder could react, his head was already in Huo Yuhao's hands.
The extreme cold air invaded the head of the elder of the sub-tank, and then a burst of green light flashed, followed by a loud bang, the elder of the sub-tank instantly turned into a headless corpse.
The soul was completely swallowed by Huo Yuhao and turned into soul power to fill the Dantian. The other soul king, Holy Spirit, was no exception.
The two mutilated headless corpses exploded again and turned into countless ice shards.
After doing all this, Huo Yuhao walked back without any emotion.
There was a hint of confusion in Bingdi's calm tone: "Yuhao, why didn't I realize before that you are so cruel?"
"You call it brutality, I call it efficiency." Huo Yuhao hissed, "I have basically mastered the various strongholds of the Holy Spirit Cult. Let's start with those places that are not so easy to attract attention and shoot them one by one."
"Human Mine... I'm sorry you can come up with such a word. This emperor feels a little scared when he hears it." The Ice Emperor murmured, "If you can come up with such a word, you really have the potential to be an evil soul master."
Huo Yuhao said in a low voice: "I didn't invent this word. In the eyes of some people, aren't other people just like ores and consumables?"
Tian Meng feels the same way.
At this moment, she was sitting on the snow in the frozen plane, hugging the Snow Emperor's thigh, crying sadly.
"Wow... those stinky ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Forest all regarded Master Tianmeng as a silkworm mine. Bingbing, Sister Xue'er, you have to make the decision for me..."
Ice Emperor grabbed her head with some displeasure: "Don't pester Xue'er. Who told you that you have the power of heaven and earth but no fighting ability at all. You deserve to be sucked."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Emperor Xue did not kick her away, but allowed Tian Meng to cry sadly, his eyes cold.
Mentioning the term Star Dou Forest, she also recalled some unpleasant memories.
I say I won’t stay up late, but I end up staying up late unconsciously. Is this a common problem among modern young people...
