The second elder said, "I am asking the leader to contact the royal family to see if we can invite a ninth-level soul guide to serve the royal family. At the same time, we have already negotiated with the Ordinary League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Third brother, are you sure about your apprentice?"
The third elder looked at the two evil soul master youths and said, "Huang Zheng, Merck."
The two evil soul masters who were called said, "Teacher, we will not let you down."
At this time, Huo Yuhao spoke up: "Deputy Sect Leader, what is this underground soul mentor competition?"
Feng Ling explained: "Son, you don't know that the current crown prince hates gambling very much, and the profits from gambling are huge. We, the Xishui League, cannot give up, so we have joined forces with the other two major underground forces to hold an underground soul mentor competition together."
Huo Yuhao asked: "Comparing what?"
"Better than making a soul guide."
The second elder smiled and said, "We, the Xishui League, will make a fortune by taking advantage of this Soul Master Competition. The stakes of this competition also include a large amount of rare metals and mining rights. We will also take this opportunity to increase our control over rare metal mines."
"Son, being in Mingdu, you should know how huge the profits and business are of controlling rare metal mines, right?"
“Rare metal mines?” Huo Yuhao murmured, and suddenly laughed, from a low sneer at the beginning to a loud laugh later.
Everyone looked at each other, confused as to why Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Ma Xiaotao, who had been silent all the time, spoke coldly.
“I just suddenly remembered something funny.” Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. “Compared to the rare metal mine, isn’t this Mingdu a much larger and more valuable mine?”
Feng Ling asked with interest: "What mine?"
Huo Yuhao sneered and uttered two words in a cold and contemptuous voice.
"Human Mine."
The luxurious conference room fell silent for a moment. Not only Feng Ling, 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, Feng Ling reacted and clapped sincerely, her eyes full of admiration.
The other elders also laughed out loud.
"Holy Son, you are simply born to be the king of evil soul masters."
"Human mine, what a great human mine, hahaha."
……
Late at night, in a suburban area of Mingdu, at a Holy Spirit Church stronghold.
Huo Yuhao barged into the door with an expressionless face.
“Who are you?” A saint wearing a white hat shouted, and then released his martial spirit. His five spirit rings lit up at the same time, ready to kill Huo Yuhao.
“Asshole!” The elder of the branch temple next to him slammed him on the ground, knocking him flying, and then walked towards Huo Yuhao with fanatical eyes.
He said respectfully, "I greet the Saint Son. The Saint Son was appointed by heaven. I didn't know that the Saint Son was here. Please forgive me for offending you."
Huo Yuhao did not pursue the issue of etiquette, but asked calmly: "Which elder do you belong to? Are there only two of you here?"
This branch elder was just a Soul Emperor. He had seen Huo Yuhao at the previous soul raising ceremony and soul welcoming ceremony.
He nodded and said, "Sir Saint, we are under the Eighth Elder. Our mission is to go to the border of the Xing Luo Empire to search for suitable Saint Servants and cause destruction. There are only two of us here."
"I am returning to the Sun-Moon Empire this time to participate in your welcoming ceremony. In a few days, we will return to the Star Luo Empire."
"I have the honor of witnessing your holy power with my own eyes. It is truly magnificent."
At this time, the Holy Spirit next to him also reacted and said enthusiastically and respectfully: "Greetings, Holy Son."
Huo Yuhao asked in a cold voice: "Since you are about to go to the Xing Luo Empire, it means that you will not be able to come back in the short term, right?
"Seeing it with your own eyes isn't enough, do you want to experience it for yourself?"
“Ah?” Before the branch elder could react, his head was grabbed by Huo Yuhao’s hand.
The extreme cold air invaded the head of the branch altar elder, and then a green light flashed, accompanied by a loud bang, and the branch altar elder instantly turned into a headless corpse.
The soul was completely devoured by Huo Yuhao and turned into soul power to fill the Dantian. The other Soul King Holy Spirit was no exception.
The two broken headless corpses exploded again, turning into countless ice chips.
After doing all this, Huo Yuhao walked back without any emotion.
There was a hint of puzzlement in Bingdi's calm tone: "Yuhao, how come I didn't realize before that you are so cruel."
“You call it brutality, I call it efficiency.” Huo Yuhao hissed, “I have basically taken control of the various bases of the Holy Spirit Church. I will start from these places that are not so easy to attract attention and shoot them one by one.”
"Human mine... I'm surprised you can come up with such a word. Even I feel a little horrified when I hear it." Bingdi murmured, "You can come up with this word. You really have the potential to be an evil soul master."
Huo Yuhao said in a low voice, “I didn’t invent this term. In the eyes of some people, aren’t other people just like ores or consumables?”
Tianmeng felt the same way.
At this moment, she was sitting like a duck on the snow in the frozen plane, hugging Xue Di's thighs and crying with a sad face.
"Wow... those stinky beasts in the Xingdou Great Forest all treated Master Tianmeng as a silkworm mine. Bingbing, Sister Xue'er, you have to make the decision for me..."
Bingdi grabbed her head with some displeasure: "Don't bother Xue'er. You have all the energy of heaven and earth but no fighting power. You deserve to be sucked away."
“Woo woo woo… Those guys are too much. Yuhao, you must teach them a lesson in the future and turn them into spirit rings and spirit bones…”
Xue Di didn't kick her away, but let Tian Meng cry sadly with cold eyes.
When the word "Star Forest" was mentioned, she recalled some unpleasant memories.
Chapter 308: Hehehe, your souls are accepted by this Holy Son (5k)
A week later.
In the suburbs of Mingdu, there is a very remote courtyard.
"Sir, why..."
Another evil soul master, filled with reluctance and disbelief, took one last look at Huo Yuhao before dying. His soul burned in the gray flames and turned into a trickle that flowed into Huo Yuhao’s dantian and was digested into his soul power.
"Which one is this?" Bingdi asked casually.
"The fifth one." Huo Yuhao replied calmly.
His current hunting targets are those who are under the jurisdiction of the Eight Elders and are sent to the other three countries to perform field missions, most of whom are recruited as subordinates of the Holy Servants.
The highest level is Soul Douluo level, but he has not encountered it yet. They are generally around Soul Sage and Soul Emperor level.
The evil soul master's training speed in the early and middle stages is very fast, and he can quickly grow to the Soul Emperor level without any difficulty. After that, the upgrade speed will gradually slow down.
With Huo Yuhao's current identity as the Son of God, he can easily access the information of these evil soul masters. If there are strongholds, he will go directly to the strongholds to provide guidance. If there are no strongholds, he cannot find them and has to let them go for the time being.
When those evil soul masters saw Huo Yuhao, they all looked fanatical, which made Huo Yuhao sigh that the brainwashing method of the Holy Spirit Church was so effective that his mental suggestion was far inferior to it.
There was no need to fight at all; Huo Yuhao could kill them easily when they were off guard.
In order not to attract the attention of the Holy Spirit Church, these evil soul masters sent to the three countries on the mainland are the best targets.
They will bring back the holy servants they found outside, and after participating in the soul raising ceremony and soul welcoming ceremony, they will travel to various parts of the mainland again.
This kind of large-scale collective soul-raising ceremony is held at the headquarters only once every few months to half a year. Usually they are traveling and will not come back easily.
They won't come back in the short term, and it would be normal if they never come back. Maybe they have offended some powerful force outside and were killed.
This was the fifth evil soul master that Huo Yuhao had killed in the past week. It was a good record, but he did not feel happy.
On the one hand, these dispatched evil soul masters have basically all left Mingdu and are no longer easy to find. On the other hand, his battle results are insignificant compared to the astonishing number of evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Church.
Under the Eighth Elder alone, there are hundreds of evil soul masters sent to various parts of the continent.
Huo Yuhao put down the body of the evil soul master and glanced around the courtyard with cold eyes.
These evil soul masters seem to have twisted minds due to the cruelty of their training methods, and they always have some special hobbies.
For example, the evil soul master he had just killed had a special liking for collecting human bones. Deep in the courtyard, there were piles of bones of various sizes that were obviously from different dead people.
It is not stored in a storage soul guide device, it is obviously displayed just to satisfy his own bad taste.
Seeing this, Yin Laix let out a sigh: "Alas... Yuhao, dust to dust, dust to dust."
Huo Yuhao pondered for a long time, then waved his right hand, and a gray flame rose up, turning all the corpses into ashes. After doing all this, he left the courtyard and controlled the flying soul guide to fly back to the center of Mingdu City.
Hyotei asked, "Who are you going to hunt next? It seems that all the field agents in Mingdu have run away."
Huo Yuhao said: "Next, I plan to try a few hunting targets of higher status."
……
In the center of Mingdu City, there is the Qingse Hotel under the Xishui League.
Huo Yuhao paced back and forth in the hotel, thinking about how to find an opportunity to trick a high-ranking official into his undead demiplane silently, and then let the two Ice and Snow Emperors and the undead army attack together to trap and kill him in the undead demiplane.
With the combat power he can mobilize now, strong men like the Supreme Leader and Long Xiaoyao can't do anything to him, and super Douluo like Zhongli, Wu Fengling and Zhang Peng can't do anything to him either.
Minglei Douluo's cultivation level is only slightly higher than that of Titled Douluo, but he is a ninth-level soul engineer, and no one knows what kind of trump card he has.
Moreover, the top leaders of the Xishui League centered on Feng Ling form a circle, and the group of young evil soul masters centered on Zhang Peng who are preparing for the next competition form a circle. These people basically act in groups, have no chance of being left alone, and are not easy to deceive.
After much calculation, it seems that among the eight elders, the seventh elder, Wanhun Douluo, who is at the bottom and a loner, is the easiest to target.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao had a relatively good understanding of Ten Thousand Souls Douluo’s strength. With the combined attack of the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow and the army of the undead, they could definitely take away this powerful Titled Douluo at a low cost.
Absorbing the soul power of a Titled Douluo is enough to directly increase his soul power by several levels.
But the difficulty now is, how to trick him in? The disappearance of a high-level elder for no reason is no small matter.
Huo Yuhao walked into the meeting room while thinking.
In the conference room were Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng and a group of young evil soul masters.
A short young evil spirit master asked respectfully, "Sir Saint, where have you been these past few nights?"
Huo Yuhaosen sneered: "I went to the outskirts of the city. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Sir, why do you have to do the food yourself? With just your order, we can bring you the freshest souls."
The evil soul master young man said with a smile.
He did not doubt Huo Yuhao's answer. Now the Holy Spirit Church has fully cooperated with the Sun Moon Royal Family. The leader has issued a hidden order, strictly prohibiting all believers from killing people under the imperial city. If they violate the order, they will be punished according to the church rules. If they can't bear it, they will go to the outskirts of the city.
However, their temporary patience is all for the big competition a few months later. The leader said that after the competition, they will have the time to kill people.
"The freshest soul? Do you mean yourself?"
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the evil soul master young man with interest.
