Even if it only lasted for a second, it was enough for her to escape.
But the real touch and pain on her face told her that the life-saving skills she was so proud of had failed.
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "The ghost spirit is easier to deal with than I thought."
A gray soul ring slowly emerged behind him.
The fear in Nana's eyes grew stronger. Behind that grey soul ring was an irresistible majesty.
Suddenly, she felt a shock throughout her body, as if her soul no longer belonged to her, but had become the other party's possession.
"You...what did you do?" she asked tremblingly.
This feeling of taking souls is exactly the same as that nightmarish organization.
Could he be a member of the Holy Spirit Church? Was he here to kill me?
“It’s nothing, just a little trick.” Huo Yuhao said coldly, “Now, I ask, you answer.”
Nana looked at him in fear and nodded with difficulty.
Huo Yuhao asked, “Isn’t this the branch of the Holy Spirit Church? Where is your headquarters?”
He had been using mental detection to monitor everything inside this inconspicuous building. In fact, he had already been certain in his heart, and he also judged from Nana's previous attire that she was a member of the Holy Spirit Church.
The fight between the two men did not attract the attention of others, and no one noticed what happened in the dark alley.
Nana replied, "This is indeed a branch temple of the Holy Spirit Church, but I am not qualified to know where the main temple is."
“Are you just a lackey too?” Huo Yuhao frowned. “Who has the highest status in this branch temple? Are they the ones drinking in the underground hall?”
How does he know what's going on inside?
Nana was confused, but still answered: "The people in charge of the branch temple are the Great Holy Spirit, the Second Holy Spirit, and an elder. Sir, you should be talking about them."
Huo Yuhao said calmly, “There are only two Soul Emperors and one Soul Saint. I don’t know what I can get out of them. I hope they won’t self-destruct like the last two who didn’t even ask me any questions.”
He is not a member of the Holy Spirit Church? He is the enemy of the Holy Spirit Church?
Although Huo Yuhao did not clearly state his identity and purpose, Nana read some important information between the lines.
His strength is at least far beyond that of a Soul Emperor or Soul Sage, and he is confident that he can deal with the Great Holy Spirit, the Second Holy Spirit, and the Soul Sage elder.
He had previously approached other members of the Holy Spirit Church and forced them to self-destruct.
He is so powerful and has the mysterious ability to control souls, so maybe he can save the souls of his parents.
The fear in her heart was gradually replaced by joy and excitement. She trembled and said, "Sir...are you going to take action against the Holy Spirit Church? I can help you."
"How can I believe you?" Huo Yuhao said indifferently.
"Sir, I was forced to join the Holy Spirit Church. The Holy Spirit Church is also my enemy. They imprisoned my father and mother's souls to coerce me."
Nana was very emotional, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and fell on the back of Huo Yuhao's hand.
Huo Yuhao felt an itchy sensation on the back of his hand. He paused and repeated in a cold voice, "How can I trust you?"
"My Lord, I can feel that you also have the power to control souls like them, so please take my soul away." Nana begged, "Take my soul away, and I will not be able to resist you."
Huo Yuhao asked in surprise: "Don't you know what it means to give your soul to someone else?"
Nana said, "Of course I know, but I don't want to watch the Holy Spirit Church torture my parents' souls anymore. As long as you can help me rescue my parents' souls, you will be my master, and I can be your slave and do whatever you want."
Huo Yuhao fell into silence. Nana's emotions fluctuated violently, but she did not intend to lie.
He put Nana down from the air and said calmly, "I will trust you for now. If you want to gain my further trust, tell me the story of your relationship with the Holy Spirit Church from the beginning."
"I don't need to take your soul, but I have imposed a contract on your soul. If you deceive me or try to murder me, you know the consequences."
Nana seemed to have found her savior. A flame of hope ignited in her heart, like a morning star in the dark night sky. She turned a blind eye to the contract that Huo Yuhao had imposed on her soul and did not resist at all.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and told the story.
Nana's life story is extremely tragic.
Originally, she had a very happy family. Although her father had no soul power, he had some land and property. Her mother was a soul master. She was seriously injured while hunting a soul beast and was taken care of by Nana's father. She married him and from then on, Nana was born.
Nana's happy childhood lasted until she was six years old, and then came to an abrupt end.
When her mother went out to obtain a spirit ring for a breakthrough, she encountered the Holy Spirit Church and was forced to join them.
Later, the Holy Spirit Church killed Nana's father, and her mother also died for love, leaving Nana alone in the world.
Unfortunately, death does not mean the end. The souls of Nana's parents are still imprisoned by the Holy Spirit Church, and even after their death, they still threaten Nana to join the Holy Spirit Church.
Nana had no choice but to let it go for the sake of her parents' souls.
In this branch temple, in addition to the two evil soul masters, the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit, there are also many holy servants like Nana. They are not evil soul masters, but they have to do so because the souls of their relatives are imprisoned.
Huo Yuhao listened silently. After listening, his expression was indifferent, but the murderous intent in his heart was already strong.
Sure enough, the bottom line of the evil soul master is unimaginable.
Although the ghost martial spirit sounds a bit strange, it is not an evil martial spirit.
His heart was extremely gloomy for a moment.
Although the core members of the Holy Spirit Church are all evil soul masters, there are still a large number of normal soul masters like Nana who are coerced.
"Tsk, how disgusting." Huo Yuhao cursed.
"My lord, please."
Nana begged, bent her knees and fell to the ground.
Huo Yuhao said softly: "Get up first."
After inheriting Yinlex's advanced version of undead magic, he learned many spells, such as the master-servant contract on Nana's soul, so he was not afraid of the other party's betrayal.
"I am indeed an enemy of the Holy Spirit Church. I will go in and take down this branch temple now. There are only two Soul Emperors and one Soul Saint. However, before that, I still have a lot of questions to ask. I don't want to alert the enemy. I need you to cooperate with me."
Huo Yuhao did not open his mouth, the voice appeared directly in Nana's mind through mind sharing.
“Yes, sir.” Nana was very surprised at Huo Yuhao’s ability to transmit voice, which meant that the other party’s strength might be even stronger than she imagined.
She suggested, "We only have a chance to visit our parents' souls once every few months. If you don't want to alert them, you can disguise yourself as our holy servant and sneak in."
“No need.” Huo Yuhao snorted, “Let’s just walk in openly.”
"But, sir, didn't you say not to alert the enemy?" Nana asked carefully.
“What I mean is that you should not scare the other party into self-destructing, otherwise we won’t be able to get anything out of him.” Huo Yuhao said, “What you should do later, follow my instructions.”
Nana immediately said respectfully, "Yes."
She became more and more excited. She was just visiting her parents as a routine every two months, but by chance she met a powerful man who was an enemy of the Holy Spirit Church and had unfathomable strength.
In fact, the Holy Spirit Church does not have strong constraints on holy servants like Nana. There is no master-servant contract like Huo Yuhao. Only core members can enjoy this level of treatment.
At that time, they will no longer be themselves, but will completely abandon everything they have and truly become fanatics of the Holy Spirit Church.
If it weren't for her parents, Nana could have left alone. With her talent, she would have been able to live a very good life anywhere in the continent.
Nana was extremely excited and happy, and led Huo Yuhao along the path towards the inconspicuous courtyard.
Suddenly, she received instructions from Huo Yuhao, and her whole body stiffened. Then her heartbeat accelerated, her breathing became rapid, and her tall body trembled constantly.
"Sir...Sir...are you serious?" Nana said in horror.
“Of course I’m serious. Just do as I’m told.” Huo Yuhao said affirmatively, “Anyway, I will kill all the core members of the Holy Spirit Church. I will save the souls of your parents.”
"lead the way!"
Nana kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. She kept recalling her parents' appearance when they were alive and their cries after they died. She made up her mind and her fear subsided to a large extent.
She put on the same hat again and knocked lightly on the gate of the courtyard five times, three long and two short.
The door quietly opened a crack, and Nana dodged and slipped in through the crack.
The person who came to open the door was a young man dressed in black and also wearing a conical hat. When he saw Nana enter the yard and was about to close the door, he found that the door was forcefully opened by a huge force.
Huo Yuhao walked into the yard and glanced at the young man in black through the eyepiece with a cold gaze.
The young man in black was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to ask, he saw Nana making a gesture of crossing her hands at him.
This gesture means that the person next to him is a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Church, and it is a secret signal for him to let him pass.
The young man in black stopped instantly and stepped aside tactfully.
Anyway, he was just a holy servant, responsible for guarding the door. He never dared to ask about the core members of the Holy Spirit Church. Such people would naturally be received by the Holy Spirit disciples and elders.
But the way that person hid his face was really unique. He was not wearing a hat or a hood, but sunglasses, which was really nice.
Huo Yuhao followed Nana into the yard and walked towards a dome-shaped building in the center of the yard.
The building covers an area of more than 100 square meters and its door is open.
There were two men in white in the room. As soon as they saw Huo Yuhao, they stood up with a look of vigilance.
"who?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer. He just stood there proudly and looked at them coldly.
Nana, who was standing by, stepped forward quickly and handed over a round black plate with a skull engraved on it.
She deliberately lowered her voice, and said in a trembling tone that had not yet completely subsided: "Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever."
The two men in white then bowed and repeated, "Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Lady remain forever."
Although they were bending over, their eyes were always focused on Huo Yuhao.
A man in white asked, "Master Zhunling, who is this stranger? Don't you know the rules of the altar?"
Nana mustered up her courage and quickly put on a panicked look and said, "How dare you, you dare to disrespect him?"
"Do you know who this is?"
"This is the Holy Son!"
Nana forced herself to finish speaking. As soon as she finished, she felt as if all her strength had been exhausted.
These were all what Huo Yuhao instructed her to say. The panic on Nana's face at this moment was not pretended at all, but the most complete reflection of her mood.
She suddenly felt that asking Huo Yuhao for help was a mistake.
“Lord Holy Son?” The two men in white stood there in a daze, looking at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.
Huo Yuhao then spoke coldly: “Take me to see your elders, the Great Holy Spirit, and the Second Holy Spirit.”
