The metal table was smashed to pieces in an instant, and the sand table used for battlefield simulations was scattered all over the floor.
"I knew that cooperating with the Holy Spirit Church would be like courting death!"
Ye Yulin's expression was distorted and he cursed loudly and mercilessly.
But he didn't see that the signalman in front of him had a sinister smile on his face.
Chapter 387 Five Poison Douluo
"asshole!"
Ye Yulin cursed through gritted teeth.
Like all countries, the Sun-Moon Empire's court was also divided into many factions, including pro-war factions, and naturally, pro-peace factions and centrists.
The current emperor and Crown Prince Xu Tianran are both staunch advocates of war. Ye Yulin is also a centrist who leans towards the pro-war side and is not opposed to war.
But even most of the pro-war factions in the court did not support cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church. No one liked to have anything to do with these evil soul masters.
But Xu Tianran did just that, and was very confident that he could control the Holy Spirit Church and use them.
Now, hearing the news that the Holy Spirit Church suddenly turned against them, kidnapped the prince and the emperor, and then negotiated with Kong Deming, Ye Yulin did not doubt its authenticity at the first time.
Because the Holy Spirit Church has every motivation, reason, and even the ability to do so.
Yes, why would a huge organization with two Ultimate Douluo, more than twenty Titled Douluo, and countless Soul Emperors and Soul Saints under its command be willing to obey Xu Tianran's command?
From the very beginning, the strength of the two sides was not equal.
The Sun Moon Empire is indeed more powerful, but the soul masters' home field is on the front battlefield. Not to mention that after Xu Tianran cooperated with the Holy Spirit Church, he gave them many high-level privileges to enter and leave the palace at will. Isn't this raising a tiger to cause trouble?
Indeed, the patron saint of the Sun-Moon Empire, Kong Deming, is enough to restrain one Ultimate Douluo, but how to guard against the remaining one?
As long as the Holy Spirit Church wanted to, they would have a great chance of assassinating Xu Tianran when he was not prepared. Xu Tianran's Titled Douluo strength and the defensive soul guide he carried with him could not hold him off for long.
What's more, the Holy Spirit Church is a group of evil soul masters who have no bottom line and are capable of doing all kinds of evil. They are professionals in massacring cities, so it's not surprising that they would do anything.
Ye Yulin even felt that it was noble for them to just kidnap the Crown Prince.
In just ten seconds, Ye Yulin and the other ninth-level soul masters were convinced.
The signalman was still a little exhausted and was using a milk bottle to slowly recover his soul power. He looked extremely anxious, but he knew in his heart that his plan was most likely successful.
Because he was Huo Yuhao who had been disguised and simulated, and while he was reporting, he also used his fourth soul skill, mental suggestion.
The lifelike performance, urgent and anxious attitude, plus a little spiritual suggestion, made Ye Yulin and others, who already had some disgust towards the Holy Spirit Church, naturally believe his false news.
What’s more, Huo Yuhao had the Eight-clawed Fire Dragon Order of the Sun and Moon Royal Family in his hand, so it couldn’t be fake.
As for where did Huo Yuhao get the Eight-clawed Fire Dragon Order?
He could enter and exit the Sun and Moon Palace at will and sit on the emperor's throne whenever he wanted. It was not difficult for him to take advantage of the opportunity to get a token.
Ye Yulin responded quickly and said to the other two level nine soul masters in a deep voice: "There is no time to lose. Gather the Wolf Fang Soul Master Group. We will immediately return to Mingdu to protect the emperor. We will set off within five minutes."
He was still deep in thought.
The Holy Spirit Church has only kidnapped the Crown Prince and His Majesty and is negotiating terms with Confucius, which means that they do not want to kill people, but want to seek greater benefits.
The Crown Prince and His Majesty are safe for the time being, and I and others must rush back to Mingdu as soon as possible.
At this time, another deep voice spoke in the room.
"Starry Sky Douluo, all of you Level 9 Soul Instructors and the Wolf Fang Soul Instructor Group have left. What should we do to intercept Starry Sky Douluo?"
He was a sturdy middle-aged man in a shawl coat. He frowned and said, "Although my border guards are not afraid of the White Tiger Duke's army, our opponents this time include many Titled Douluo."
This man is none other than the frontier marshal of the Sun-Moon Empire who has been stationed in the Mingdou Mountains. His surname is Tian and he is a Soul Douluo. He has been a rival of the White Tiger Duke for more than a decade.
"Without you, how can my border guards stop Princess Xingluo?" Marshal Tian said in a deep voice.
The border conflict between Xingluo and Sun and Moon also had a basic tacit understanding, that is, neither side would take the initiative to directly send out Titled Douluo powerhouses, because the dispatch of Titled Douluo powerhouses meant the beginning of an all-out war.
Without Titled Douluo and Level 9 Soul Masters like Ye Yulin, the border guards under his command would only look numerous, but how could they possibly be a match for Xing Luo?
Even if you have a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell, you cannot use it.
Ye Yulin said coldly: "Marshal Tian, I hope you can distinguish priorities. Isn't returning to Mingdu to protect the emperor more important than the matter at hand?"
Marshal Tian pondered for a moment and understood Ye Yulin's attitude. The plan to intercept Xing Luo this time had come to nothing.
Naturally, preparing for war is not more important than the lives of the Crown Prince and Your Majesty.
It was the prince who wanted to start the war, but it would be ridiculous if he was so busy starting the war that he ended up losing his life.
Marshal Tian is certainly not afraid of a battle with Xing Luo, but not to mention the success rate without Ye Yulin and others, even if he fights to the death to keep Xing Luo and others in the Mingdou Mountains, it may not be a good thing for Riyue.
That means a full-scale war is about to come, and the current royal family may not have time to deal with it.
A ninth-level soul master asked in a serious tone, "Yulin, do you remember the man from the Holy Spirit Cult who followed you? What are you going to do with him?"
Ye Yulin's eyes flashed with a vicious light: "That's not surprising, that's not surprising. He must have received the news that the church wanted to kidnap Your Highness early on, and was worried that he would be captured by us after the matter was exposed, so he left the military camp directly after arriving at the border and hid in the Mingdou Mountains."
Huo Yuhao frowned when he heard this, feeling a little uneasy, as if there were deeper hidden dangers that had not been resolved.
The people who came to Mingdou this time included not only Ye Yulin, but also a worshiper of the Holy Spirit Church. It was unknown which evil soul master was given the Title Douluo.
"Hmph." Ye Yulin's soul power began to condense.
This is him mobilizing his high-altitude detection soul guide.
Thousands of high-altitude detection soul guides turned into his thousand eyes at this moment, searching every blade of grass and tree in the Mingdou Mountains.
In terms of detail, his monitoring level cannot compare to Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection, but in terms of breadth and field of vision, it is even better than Huo Yuhao's current level.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the sky outside the tent.
Ye Yulin snorted disdainfully: "Do you really think you can escape my eyes by hiding in the Mingdou Mountains?"
His old friend beside him exclaimed: "Old Ye, what did you do? Did you use the Sun and Moon Needle?"
Ye Yulin sneered and said, "It's not worth wasting a Sun Moon Divine Needle on him, and it's not certain that we can kill him."
"Am I not hiding in the Mingdou Mountains? Okay, then I will help him."
"I've exposed his location to the Xingluo people. Let them deal with him."
Huo Yuhao was stunned when he heard the coldness in Ye Yulin's words, but Ye Yulin's next words were like a bolt from the blue to him.
"Five Poison Douluo? I want to see how powerful his poison is."
Five Poison Douluo?
When he heard this title, even Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be shocked.
Even if you don't know him, you can guess from his name that he is an expert in poison, and the harm caused by an evil soul master who uses poison is even more unimaginable.
Huo Yuhao knew something about this priest of the Holy Spirit Church. His strength was not that strong among the elders of the Holy Spirit Church, and he could even be considered one of the bottom ones.
His martial soul is very special, it can be considered a kind of toxin, and can absorb almost all toxins in the world to strengthen itself, so he calls himself Five Poison Douluo.
Snake venom, flower poison, toad venom, scorpion venom... can all help improve his cultivation, but he chose the most evil and cold toxin - corpse poison as his main method of cultivation, and voluntarily became an evil soul master.
Huo Yuhao’s real expression under simulation became more and more solemn.
Wu Du Douluo was the weakest among the Holy Spirit Cult's followers, because his physique was not as good as most Soul Douluos, and his attack method was extremely simple, only poison, and the other members of the Holy Spirit Cult were almost not afraid of his most powerful corpse poison...
Moreover, a Soul Douluo can resist his innate corpse poison for a while, and it will have little effect on a Titled Douluo.
However, in terms of harmfulness, the Five Poison Douluo is also among the top in the Holy Spirit Church.
All the ninth-level soul masters, including Ye Yulin, led the soul master group to take off together and flew towards Mingdu in a mighty force.
Inside the tent, the deputy asked, "Marshal, regarding the Xingluo incident..."
Marshal Tian said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down. All troops should act as usual. If Xingluo approaches the border, warn and expel them first. Do not shoot rashly."
"If they are smart, they will not fight."
Outside the Sun-Moon Border Guards’ camp, two figures quickly rushed into the Mingdou Mountains. They were naturally Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiuer.
Spiritual detection has been used to the maximum extent, sweeping everything within a radius of several kilometers, searching for the Five Poison Douluo that might exist anywhere.
The Mingdou Mountains have complex terrain and stretch for thousands of miles, so the range of his spiritual detection seems a little small.
The calm voice that had been silent for a long time suddenly rang in their ears again.
"Deep Adventure has changed. The test question is: Kill."
"The location of the Five Poison Douluo has been exposed to Duke White Tiger and the Xing Luo Army. Duke White Tiger is about to send a team of White Tiger Guards to check it out."
"The Five Poison Douluos are performing a secret technique in the Mingdou Mountains, 20 kilometers northeast of you. If they succeed, the poison that spreads will be enough to kill all the White Tiger Guards and the White Tiger Duke."
"Test requirements: Kill the Five Poison Douluo. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's test questions will be changed with yours. They will hide in the White Tiger Guards. If any one of you four dies, the test will fail and everyone will die."
Can this deep adventure be changed midway?
Huo Yuhao's face darkened when he heard the voice while running. Although there was only one opponent in the new test, it was not easier than the previous one.
But the good news is that the calm voice directly told them the location of the Five Poison Douluo.
He stopped, took out the flying board, stepped on it and prepared to take off, but the direction was not northeast.
Huo Qiuer asked, "Where are you going?"
Huo Yuhao replied in a deep voice: “I will go find Dai Hao and ask him not to send anyone to die.”
"To deal with this kind of guy who plays with poison, no matter how many low-level spirit masters come, they will die. We must send in experts to kill him with one strike."
His expression became more and more solemn.
The Five Poisons Douluo also has a most terrifying ability, which is that the more people he kills, the more powerful the corpse poison formed by the corpse swarm will be.
Those with cultivation below Soul Saint level would be killed instantly by his poison, becoming the source of his ever-increasing corpse poison power. The corpse poison of tens of thousands of corpses was activated at the same time, and even a Super Douluo dared not step into it.
However, although this corpse poison sounds terrible, the conditions for activating the secret technique are very harsh.
As long as several experts are sent out at the same time, or even just four or five Soul Douluo are able to intercept them in advance, there will be a chance to kill the lone Five Poison Douluo who has not yet had time to perform his secret technique.
The calm voice told him the location of the Five Poison Douluo, so of course he went straight to Dai Hao to call for reinforcements to deal with the other party.
At this moment, the calm voice sounded again.
"During this in-depth assessment, except for other assessors, you are prohibited from actively seeking help from outsiders."
"Once you actively seek help, you will be deemed to have failed the assessment, and four assessors will die."
