Feng Ling said: "Let's put this mission on hold for now. We can't let the elders leave Mingdu and act alone. The Holy Church can't afford the loss."
Nangong Wan also asked worriedly: "But if we fail to capture the elite young soul masters of the three countries on the continent alive, the regent will blame us..."
Feng Ling snorted coldly: "We are only in a cooperative relationship with Xu Tianran, are you really going to work for him? How about you go?"
Although she was wearing a hat and veil, it was obvious that she glared at Nangong Wan fiercely.
"This... I still have to host the Underground Soul Instructor Competition." Nangong Wan swallowed and declined hurriedly.
Although he is a Titled Douluo, he is very afraid of death in his heart.
Feng Ling said coldly: "If there hadn't been such an accident, we would have definitely helped him, but now that we have such a secret enemy from the Northern Family, our plan must change."
"We can't ignore the interests of the Holy Church just because we cooperate with Xu Tianran. Don't think we don't know that he just wants to use us. He will definitely take the opportunity to attack us in the future."
"Let's just pretend to obey for now. If he wants to punish us, the leader will deal with him. The matter will be decided by the Supreme Leader himself."
The Holy Spirit Church members in the VIP room all responded, "Yes."
Huo Yuhao appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was racing as many questions popped up in his head.
Why did the Holy Spirit Church know about the Northern Family and Northern Douluo that he had fabricated? He had clearly only told Jing Hongchen about it.
Then the answer is obvious, it must have been spread from Jing Hongchen's mouth.
But why can the Holy Spirit Church be so sure that it is itself that is hunting them in secret?
This was exactly what confused Huo Yuhao, but it also helped Huo Yuhao a little.
Since I was the one who caused the hatred, the Holy Spirit Church could not yet suspect the Body Sect and Du Bu Si. As for their revenge on me? They had to find me first.
Huo Yuhao remained alert.
Since the Holy Spirit Church knew about the Beidi Family, they must also know about Huo Yuhao, who was nominally the heir of the Beidi Family.
They will definitely attack me, so I must be careful and vigilant.
Nangong Wan asked: "Deputy leader, do you have more information about the Beidi family? I'm afraid that even Dragon Emperor Douluo may not be able to prevail over an Extreme Douluo with the ultimate ice attribute."
Feng Ling said solemnly: "According to the leader, the Beidi family also participated in this Soul Master Competition under an alias. Huo Yuhao, who defeated seven opponents in three consecutive games in the elimination round, is the heir of the Beidi family. However, we don't know whether this is true or not."
At this time, Huo Yuhao spoke up: "I heard that he showed the ultimate ice spirit in the last competition. It should be related to the Beidi family. It can be confirmed to be true."
Feng Ling nodded: "Although there is no direct evidence, it should be nine out of ten."
Nangong Wan asked cautiously, "Deputy Sect Leader, do you mean... to take action against Huo Yuhao?"
"Stupid." Feng Ling scolded in a low voice, "You want to fight against that Northland Douluo head-on?"
Nangong Wan opened his mouth, realized he had made a mistake, and quickly closed it again.
On the surface, the Holy Spirit Church possesses extremely strong top-level combat power, with a total of two Ultimate Douluo, which is definitely greater than one Ultimate Douluo.
But if a fight really breaks out, the aftermath of the fight between the three Ultimate Douluo would be enough to reduce most of Mingdu to ruins.
There are several unwritten rules among the powerful people on the mainland.
A Titled Douluo cannot attack those below the Title level without reason.
If a fight breaks out between Titled Douluo, in order to avoid loss of life and reduce the aftermath of the battle, their main battlefield will be high in the sky.
After all, in a Title Douluo-level fight, once all-out efforts were made, a city could be destroyed with a single move. With this restriction, the destruction had been greatly reduced over the past ten thousand years.
This rule was the oracle left behind by Seagod Tang San when he ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago.
Even though there are no laws in any country that can restrain Titled Douluo, all Titled Douluo from all factions must obey them... right?
Incorrect.
The God of the Sea lived ten thousand years ago. How much deterrent power do the oracles he left behind still have now?
Most of the time, all Titled Douluo will tacitly abide by this rule, because whoever breaks the rule first will then the other party will also break the rule. Titled Douluo also compete for interests, and no one really wants to fight to the death.
However, there are always people who are really frustrated.
If there is such a Titled Douluo, whose family and friends have all been killed, who has no ties and no attachment to the world, would he still care about such a broken rule that was established ten thousand years ago?
He probably wanted to die together with the enemy, and had already disregarded life and death, and ran to the enemy's hometown to blow himself up.
During these ten thousand years, there were many Titled Douluo who were blood-thirsty, and there was no divine punishment from the Sea God who had issued the oracle ten thousand years ago.
Feng Ling is very rational.
If Huo Yuhao is really the heir of the Beidi family, then he cannot be touched.
Even if Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao teamed up to kill Beidi Douluo, what would happen? The Holy Spirit Church was a great family, and hundreds of years of accumulation could not be destroyed in their generation.
“We can’t just sit there and do nothing, right? Huo Yuhao is our only clue to the Northern Family.” Minglei Douluo asked unwillingly.
"Of course, the Holy Church will not surrender without a fight." Feng Ling's tone was filled with a hint of smile, "The Supreme Master has already come up with a plan for this matter."
Huo Yuhao asked: "What's the solution?"
Feng Ling laughed and said, “We can just send out a Saint Girl. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to control Huo Yuhao, the Holy Church will probably have another future Ultimate Douluo from now on.”
Huo Yuhao fell silent.
He thought the Holy Spirit Church could come up with some difficult plan against him, but after all this time it turned out to be a honey trap.
After a moment, Huo Yuhao asked hesitantly, "Deputy Sect Leader, is this a little... not good?"
"Why not? Saint, don't underestimate this beauty trap. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty." Feng Ling laughed again, "Back then, Dragon Emperor Douluo couldn't resist the love of the Supreme Master, so he voluntarily stayed in our Holy Church and served as the chief priest until now."
Huo Yuhao was shocked and asked, "What happened between the Supreme Master and Senior Dragon Emperor Douluo?"
Feng Ling shook her head: "The leader and I don't know exactly what happened. Well, the Northern Family's affairs are all under the responsibility of the Supreme Leader himself, so we don't have to worry about it. Let's just watch the game."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to the outside of the VIP room. Most of the race in the Golden Hall had already passed.
She had been talking just now and had not paid attention to the game. Now she wanted to search for any unexpected soul guide genius.
Huo Yuhao on the other side had a blank expression on his face.
In the sea of spirit, Tian Meng was carving the ice and snow wall while saying weakly: "Yuhao, your mood is so strange..."
“I have so much to complain about at the moment.” Huo Yuhao replied in great confusion.
He finally understood why Long Xiaoyao joined the Holy Spirit Church.
Long Xiaoyao only has a dark attribute, and he doesn't have an evil martial soul. He doesn't have the aura of an evil soul master, and he is not an evil soul master. So why did he join the Holy Spirit Church?
All this was just for a woman.
Yin Lex said that the restriction was ineffective against people who were too strong, so he must not have been brainwashed. It turns out that Long Xiaoyao did it voluntarily.
Xue Di sighed thoughtfully: "Are you willing to give up everything for love?"
Huo Yuhao snorted and asked, "Love is indulgence without limits. Are you willing to give up being a human being just for the sake of the other person?"
"Being able to fall in love with such an evil soul master leader, I have to reevaluate this Dark Holy Dragon in my heart."
He muttered to himself.
"Brother Sanshi, I take back what I said about you. When it comes to being in love, this guy is the heavyweight."
Huo Yuhao once said that he didn’t believe there were Titled Douluo in the world who were willing to betray their country for love. Now that he had seen an Extreme Douluo who was willing to join the Evil Soul Master Organization for love, he couldn’t help but have some doubts.
Bingdi, who was acting as Tianmeng's supervisor, asked, "It seems that your original identity has been targeted by the Holy Spirit Church. What are you going to do?"
“Don’t worry, they won’t dare to attack me.” Huo Yuhao said confidently, “My bluff was very successful. No one is willing to be an enemy of an Ultimate Douluo.”
"It doesn't matter whether Beidi Douluo exists or not, and it doesn't matter whether he is an Extreme Douluo or not. As long as people believe that he exists, then he really exists."
Bingdi said: "But aren't they going to use the honey trap on you? They are so generous to send you a saint."
“Then they are doomed to fail.” Huo Yuhao said coldly, “First, I never think that I can be seduced by pure beauty. Second…”
He paused, then continued, "They probably don't know that I have some old scores with their current Saint."
"That's right." Bingdi nodded slightly.
She glanced at Tian Meng who was drawing on the ice wall and asked, "Strong men are always surrounded by beauties. Don't you think it's ridiculous that he wants to use the beauty trap to control you?"
“Do you think that’s a beauty?” Huo Yuhao suddenly fell silent. After a moment, he said calmly, “Low-end beauty traps will only make some weak and insignificant strong men jealous and start fighting. Such beauties are no different from money and treasures, and their success rate is the lowest.”
Bingdi frowned and asked, "Are there any high-end ones?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "The reason why the beauty trap was successful is because it was not just a beauty, but a destined fate that made one fall in love with her at first sight, a vow to protect, and a long-term companionship."
"Those strong men who fell into the trap never felt that they were trapped, and were willing to go through life and death for the other party."
"What they met was not beauty, but true love."
Xue Di asked in confusion, "It's very strange, Yuhao, you just criticized and reprimanded a strong man who was willing to give up everything for love, but now from your tone, it seems that you are full of yearning for true love again."
Huo Yuhao admitted frankly: "The two are not contradictory. I praise true love, but this does not prevent me from thinking that Long Xiaoyao has a problem with his brain."
Returning his attention to reality, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked at the contestants making soul guides in the arena.
The aura of one of the contestants was extremely familiar.
Chapter 338 Hidden He Cai Tou
Huo Yuhao focused all his attention on a young soul instructor in the center of the arena.
He was tall and imposing, with a healthy dark wheat-colored skin and a serious expression. Under his short dark brown hair, his sharp eyes carefully monitored the movements of his hands.
The young soul guide had very sturdy hands and a rough body, but the delicate technique he displayed at this moment was completely different from his outward appearance.
His movements were extremely smooth and meticulous. Although the carving knife seemed a little small and delicate in his big hand, the speed of engraving was smooth and fast, and there were no low-level mistakes that many soul masters might make due to excessive speed in the details.
One core magic array after another gradually took shape under his carving knife.
The first round of the competition requires the production of a propositional soul guide, which requires the production of a milk bottle of at least level three.
If you can complete level 4 or above, you will be exempt from the next round and directly enter the third round of the main competition.
The young man's skillful technique naturally attracted the attention of gamblers outside the venue and members of the Xishui League in the VIP room, and a large amount of money was placed on the handicap.
"The bottle he made is... a level five baby bottle?" Ming Lei Douluo, a level nine soul engineer, immediately saw the quality of the baby bottle in the young soul engineer's hand and did not hide his shock at all.
"Level 5 milk bottle?" Everyone in the Xishui League was stunned at the same time.
The milk bottle can be said to be the most complicated and demanding type of soul guide. A level 5 milk bottle is not easy to make even for a level 6 soul guide.
Minglei Douluo continued: "Looking at his methods and skills, he may have reached the sixth level... No, even the seventh level soul master."
