Huo Yuhao sat in the room, looking at the two documents, and fell into deep thought.
One document is a topographic map of Mingde Hall, and the other document is information about various soul guides installed in Mingde Hall.
Xiao is a man full of doubts.
Huo Yuhao had never thought that the traitor bribed by the Body Sect would be such a ruthless character. From this point of view, it seemed more like the other party was taking advantage of the Body Sect.
Under the cover of night, Huo Yuhao walked on the street back to Sun Moon Academy, constantly analyzing things in his mind.
He smiled sinisterly and said, "Interesting, this kind of person is a qualified undercover agent, with multiple identities... Haha, he is really a master of time management. I must learn from him."
The excited voice of Bingdi came from his mind: "Yuhao, now that we know the location of Xuedi, what are we waiting for?"
"But didn't he also say that? The place where the Snow Empress is kept is more heavily guarded, with several ninth-level soul guides. Do you think we can steal the Snow Empress by ourselves?"
"Then what should we do?" Bingdi said in a deep voice.
"We can't do it, but can't the Body Sect do it?"
Bingdi said: "You mean... you want to use the power of the Body Sect."
"If we can use it, the possibility of stealing Xue Di will naturally be much greater."
After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, his expression seemed somewhat melancholy.
Tian Meng noticed Huo Yuhao's negative emotions and asked with concern: "Yuhao, what's wrong with you?"
“Nothing.” Huo Yuhao sighed, “I don’t know what deep hatred Mr. Xiao has with Jing Hongchen, nor do I know what purpose he has in attracting the Body Sect to destroy Mingde Hall.”
"But I still feel sincerely sorry that such a top-level scientific research institution in the entire continent has been destroyed."
Bingdi said: "Yuhao, you didn't cause this. Even without you, the Body Sect would have destroyed Mingde Hall. Why do you blame yourself?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Ice Emperor, you are right. I don't need to blame myself."
"only……"
He was about to continue saying something when he suddenly felt a shock all over his body and turned his head to look somewhere.
There, an equally dark figure flashed across the dark street.
Huo Yuhao put away his smile, his face became gloomy, his figure disappeared, and he quickly followed.
The situation before him seemed familiar, and he felt the familiar breath of the undead again.
It's not an ordinary undead ghost, but a vengeful ghost.
Chapter 235: Ghost and Ten Thousand Souls Banner
In the night, the capital city is full of tall buildings and brightly lit, but the darkness seems even deeper in the gaps between the bright skyscrapers.
A figure covered in a black robe was moving quickly through the dark alley. He was moving very fast and erratic, like a wandering ghost.
In his hand, he held a long pole with a strange flag hanging from it. The flag was very long, with strange patterns painted on it, and a cold aura emanated from it.
If someone gets closer, they can seem to hear the miserable wails of the wronged souls.
But the man in black robe didn't know that he had been targeted by another hunter while walking in the darkness.
Huo Yuhao activated his mental detection and followed closely behind the man in black robe, while keeping a distance so as not to be discovered by the other party.
His face was gloomy because he felt the long-lost breath of the undead from the man in white robe.
That is not an ordinary undead ghost, but a vengeful spirit with obsession because of a tragic death.
Moreover, the aura of these vengeful spirits is very strong, and judging from the number, there are probably hundreds of them.
Huo Yuhao focused his attention on the strange flag, from which the strong aura of resentful spirits emanated.
"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner? I didn't expect to see the Ten Thousand Souls Banner here?"
Yin Lex's somewhat surprised voice came to my ears.
Huo Yuhao continued to walk at a faster pace and asked, "Master Yin, what is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"
Yin Lex said: "When the necromancer controls the undead creatures, he can use some magical tools to strengthen his control over the undead creatures. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is one of them."
"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, when refined to perfection, can hold tens of thousands of souls. As long as the vengeful spirits inside are activated and released, a large-scale attack can be launched. Any creature affected by the vengeful spirits will become a carrier of the vengeful spirits."
"The souls of undead creatures whose bodies are destroyed will return to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and continue to devour the souls of living creatures to evolve."
Huo Yuhao asked coldly: "Master Yin, where do those vengeful spirits come from?"
Yin Lex sighed and said, "Of course it was obtained through some cruel means."
"So this Ten Thousand Souls Banner is really against the harmony of nature. If a necromancer succeeds in making it, he will definitely be punished by heaven."
Yin Lex shook his head:
"However, the number of resentful spirits in this Ten Thousand Souls Banner is only over a hundred, and it has not been further refined, so its power is not strong. Moreover... these resentful spirits should have been born not long ago."
Huo Yuhao’s expression became increasingly cold. He certainly knew what the cruel method of creating vengeful spirits that Yin Lex was talking about was.
Bingdi asked: "That guy is a soul king, do you want to deal with him? Do you need my help?"
Huo Yuhao refused: “Not for now. I want to follow him first and see where he will go.”
Even if the Ice Emperor did not take action, Huo Yuhao was not afraid of the Soul King-level powerhouses now. He had a rough guess about the identity of the man in black robe.
Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Wrathful Spirits...
Combining these words together, it is very likely that the man in black robe is an evil soul master.
The evil soul master who appeared in Mingdu reminded Huo Yuhao of a mysterious organization - the Holy Spirit Church.
His intuition told him that the other party was definitely related to the Holy Spirit Church.
He wanted to catch up and learn more about the Holy Spirit Church.
The man in black robe didn’t notice Huo Yuhao following him at all. He ran quickly all the way and came to an inconspicuous courtyard.
This low and flat courtyard is inconspicuous among the tall buildings. There seems to be a mechanism at the entrance. The man in black robe just raised his hand slightly, without opening the door, and his figure disappeared at the gate.
Huo Yuhao was just leaning against the wall outside the yard. He didn't need to go in. His mental detection was enough to know everything in the yard.
The man in black robe entered the underground through the secret passage at the gate of the courtyard and came to a spacious hall, where two figures also in black robes were waiting for him.
The black-robed man lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever."
The last two men in black robes repeated the same thing.
"The Holy Emperor has a long life, and the Saint's celestial figure remains forever."
After the secret code was exchanged, one of the two waiting black-robed men asked with some complaint, "Second Brother, why did you come back just now? Have you collected enough souls that the elders wanted?"
The black-robed man said with a smile, "Third brother, I just killed more than a dozen people in succession, and now I have collected a full 100 souls. This is the share for the past three months."
"It's just that I can only look at these souls but not enjoy them. I really can't help it."
"If I can absorb and devour all of these souls, my soul power will definitely be able to rise several levels."
Another black-robed man shouted in a hoarse voice, "These are all things the elders want. If you take them all for yourself, don't blame the elders for not being able to explain to you."
The second brother smiled flatteringly and said, "Boss, aren't you also drooling over these souls?"
The boss didn't say much, but a gleam of greed flashed in his eyes.
He quickly put away the greed in his eyes and asked, "Second Brother, you just killed more than a dozen people. Didn't it cause any big commotion?"
The second brother laughed: "Boss, we are great evil spirit masters, why should we care about so many rules? Even if we make a big noise, so what? The leader and the elders will naturally handle it for us."
Huo Yuhao's face turned cold outside the courtyard.
Obviously, the second black-robed man holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is an evil soul master, and the remaining two are no exception.
Huo Yuhao had heard the secret code they had exchanged with each other before from two Holy Spirit Church members he had met.
May the Holy Emperor live forever, and may the Holy Maiden remain as an immortal forever.
As expected, the three people in front of him were all members of the Holy Spirit Church, and this courtyard was a stronghold of the Church.
"One Soul Emperor, two Soul Kings, and no one else."
Huo Yuhao's eyes were cold. After confirming that there were only three of them, he had already planned to make them disappear forever.
He remembered that he had faced such a situation before, but at that time he only had two rings. Now he has four rings and is much stronger than before.
Just when Huo Yuhao was about to take action, Tian Meng stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment and asked calmly, "What's wrong, Tianmeng?"
He now just felt inexplicably irritated in his heart. When he learned that the three people underground were evil soul masters, he wanted to kill them as soon as possible.
"Yuhao, a Titled Douluo is approaching, hide quickly." Tian Meng said in a panic.
Huo Yuhao was stunned, and his spiritual detection also sensed a figure approaching quickly, so he used all his strength to simulate restraining his breath and hid in the darkness.
Shortly after his figure disappeared, an old man who looked to be in his seventies came, walked into the courtyard and went towards the underground passage.
The three evil soul masters were originally laughing and talking loudly, but when they saw the old man suddenly breaking in, they quickly bowed respectfully.
"We didn't know Elder Wanhun was here. What instructions does Elder Wanhun have?"
The old man known as the Elder Wanhun did not say anything polite. Instead, he frowned and exuded a faint sense of oppression.
He asked coldly: "Where is what I want?"
Chapter 236: Ten Thousand Souls Douluo
The second evil soul master offered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand with a flattering look on his face: "Elder Ten Thousand Souls, a hundred souls have been collected in the Holy Spirit Banner. Please take a look."
Elder Wanhun raised his hand slightly, and the Wanhun Banner was sucked into his palm out of thin air.
He checked the number of resentful spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, nodded calmly at first, then said in a somewhat displeased and cold voice: "Why are there only a hundred souls?"
The evil soul master boss looked embarrassed: "Elder Wanhun, isn't the standard for handing in one hundred souls every three months?"
Elder Wanhun snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I asked you to hand in a hundred, and you really only hand in a hundred, right?"
"Can't you try harder and hand in 150?"
The second evil soul master cursed in his heart and looked embarrassed: "But Elder Wanhun, you have instructed us not to be too ostentatious and expose my sect."
