Xu Tianran and Juzi were certain that the Holy Spirit Church had completely withdrawn from Mingdu, which was why they sent out the news of severing cooperation with it. In fact, they came to take over the assets of the Xishui League. If Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were still there, they would not dare to be so presumptuous.
Moreover, Xu Tianran was not too afraid of Long Ye and the Holy Spirit Church. He had already thought of a way to check and balance them.
At this time, Chen An, the manager of the Golden Hall, came in late and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Princess. We didn't know you were coming. We are sorry for not welcoming you."
Orange snorted and announced again in a cold voice: "The Green Hotel is closed from today onwards and no one is allowed to enter or leave. It will be reopened after the investigation is completed."
Chen An opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The indiscriminate closure of the store for investigation was no longer just a warning.
He was sweating profusely. "Princess Regent, I wonder which law of Mingdu has this shop violated?"
Juzi said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the Xishui League has an affair with the evil soul master. Anyone who obstructs the investigation will be treated as disrupting the military order."
After finishing speaking, she glanced at the Huofeng soul mentor group behind her.Dozens of female soul engineers above level five shouted in unison, and let out a deafening cry.
The unified shouts combined together can create a terrifying aura even for women.
Chen An was just a soul king, and he couldn't bear the momentum of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Corps at all. His whole body was soaked with cold sweat. The fate of disrupting military orders would probably be to be beaten into a sieve by countless soul guide rays.
At this moment, a sacred and domineering pressure surged out from behind the main entrance of the Green Hotel, swallowing up the momentum of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group.
Orange's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she turned her head blankly to look inside the Qingse Hotel. A figure with black hair, sunglasses, and a single black outfit was walking out slowly.
Not only her, but also the elite members of her Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group could not help but feel fear when they saw each other for the first time.
Behind the opponent was a circle of extremely strange gray soul ring.
Huo Yuhao, who was in the image of the Holy Son, looked directly at Ju Zi and asked coldly, “May I ask, Crown Princess, wasn’t Your Highness the Crown Prince talking happily with the Holy Spirit Church a few days ago, and respected the leader as the national teacher? Why is he turning his back on me now?”
Juzi looked at him in astonishment. She had felt this kind of power in Zhongli Wu before.
Could he be a member of the Holy Spirit Church? The Holy Spirit Church has not left Mingdu yet?
Although he was still frightened, Orange remained calm on the surface.
"The Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group is on alert."
Behind her, a group of female soul masters immediately went into alert, charging their weapons and ready to attack as soon as Orange gave the order.
Orange asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Huo Yuhao replied calmly: "I am the new leader of Xishui League, and I am also a member of Holy Spirit Church."
Upon hearing this, Juzi frowned and raised his right hand slightly. As long as it fell, it would mean that the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group would launch an attack.
"But the current Xishui League has nothing to do with the original Holy Spirit Church. You can regard it as a new religion. If you want to cause trouble for the original Holy Spirit Church, I suggest you go to the Demon Forest, where their headquarters is."
As Huo Yuhao was talking, he suddenly sneered, “Crown Princess, you haven’t answered my question yet. Not long ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince respected the Master as the Imperial Master. How come he has turned his back on me now?”
As soon as the question came out, Xu Yue, a royal disciple not far away, immediately exclaimed: "That national teacher turned out to be the leader of the Holy Spirit Church? No wonder he has not been seen in the court in recent days."
Orange's eyes suddenly became sharp.
When Zhongli Wu was the Imperial Master, he always hid his true identity under his cloak, and almost no one in the palace knew his identity. Now that Huo Yuhao had exposed it to his face, it was a minor inconvenience.
Juzi said in a deep voice, "The leader of the Holy Spirit Church deceived His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was kind-hearted, so he believed their lies. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen through the conspiracy of the Holy Spirit Church, he naturally wants to draw a clear line."
"As a remnant of the Holy Spirit Church, you are guilty of a crime that cannot be forgiven."
Huo Yuhao said coldly: "I emphasize again that the current Xishui League has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit Church, and it will be renamed soon."
Just as Ju Zi was about to continue speaking, Tong Kong suddenly shrank back and looked behind Huo Yuhao in shock.
Accompanied by a biting cold wind coming from inside the hotel, two figures, one white and one black, slowly appeared.
The white figure that slowly walked out was the Snow Queen, with white clothes and white hair, and a hint of icy blue in the pure white.
She only glanced at the wall of people, and the strong chill made all the elite members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps tremble all over.
There was astonishment written all over Orange's face.
She had seen this person at the Soul Master Competition. He was the team leader who competed with Huo Yuhao. With such a strong aura and ice attribute, she must be a Titled Douluo from the Northern Family.
But what surprised her more was not the appearance of Xue Di, but another tall and dark figure.
"It's you!"
The dark figure meant the purest bloodline of the Sun and Moon royal family, and Orange had investigated that appearance before.
It was the royal member who had only appeared once, Xu Sheng.
Huo Yuhao, who was pretending to be Xu Sheng, said calmly: "Go back and tell Xu Tianran that Xishui League is mine now. Tell him to take his hooves back."
He paused and added coldly.
"Not only the Xishui League, but also the throne."
Chapter 424 The Ultimate Application of Simulation
A strong sense of pressure emanated from Huo Yuhao’s spiritual body that was imitating Xu Sheng, sweeping across everything around him.
The first to bear the brunt were the entire Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group and Orange. The overbearing aura made everyone's hands, which were tightly gripping their weapons, tremble involuntarily.
It is true that they are a group of beast king-level soul guides known as the hands of the nation, but under the absolute crushing of the strong, they can hardly resist the fear from the depths of their souls.
But they are well-trained regular troops after all, and they remain calm under command.
"Everyone stay in formation!"
Following Orange's deep shout, all the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructors straightened their bodies and held their breath, but the cold sweat on their foreheads betrayed their panic.
Orange stared at the tall figure in front of her with her beautiful eyes wide open, her heart filled with horror, and her mind was filled with a lot of thoughts in an instant.
The other party did not introduce himself, but just issued two sentences declaring war against Xu Tianran, as if this prince, who was second only to the emperor, was nothing in his eyes. However, Juzi recognized the other party's identity in an instant.
Xu Sheng.
There is no doubt that it is the royal member who was a flash in the pan five years ago.
He once suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, leaving only a short image in the monitoring soul guide.
Ju Zi and Xu Tianran studied the video in depth and checked all the direct disciples of the royal family in the palace one by one, but they found nothing. Although she never saw the other person again, she would never forget the appearance of the person in front of her.
The first words the other party said when he appeared again were to declare a war on Xu Tianran.
Juzi's face was extremely solemn. She had a premonition that Xu Sheng would replace the other princes and become the crown prince's new confidant and biggest threat.
Huo Yuhao’s true body was hidden under the simulated and distorted light, with a complicated expression. He did not expect that when he met Orange again, it would be such a scene.
At the moment, he is playing two roles. He simulates himself as the Son of the Holy Spirit Church, while controlling his spiritual body to simulate the mysterious royal member Xu Sheng.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression and tense tension.
Suddenly, a voice asked, "May I ask which royal brother you are? Why have I never seen him in the palace before?"
Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao looked sideways at the same time, and the one who asked the question was Xu Yue, the fourth-ring royal disciple.
Xu Yue could also see that this was a conflict between the other party and the Crown Princess. He was a little timid at first, but when he thought that he had the support of his uncle the Prince, he became bolder and cleared his throat to ask courageously.
In his perspective, "Xu Sheng" had dark skin and royal blood of such pure quality, which he had never seen before.
Xu Sheng's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes no longer stayed on the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group, but scanned the whole place. It was already late at night, but there were more and more spectators in the distance, and their identities were more noble than each other, almost all of them were nobles and soul instructors.
Their eyes were either timid or curious, looking forward to how this conflict would end.
The old emperor has already announced that he will abdicate the throne to the Crown Prince soon. At this critical juncture, the sudden appearance of a mysterious royal member will undoubtedly make the fight for the throne even more brutal, and the fate of everyone present is closely related to it.
"My name is Xu Sheng. I am here to put an end to the chaos in Mingdu and take back the throne that rightfully belongs to me."
"Xu Sheng" said in a deep voice: "The Holy Spirit Cult has committed evil, harmed the people, and stirred up trouble in Mingdu. All of this is naturally condoned by the current Crown Prince Xu Tianran."
"How can a person who treats the common people like ants and mineral materials be qualified to lead the entire Sun-Moon Empire?"
Ju Zi gritted her teeth and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also deceived by the Holy Spirit Church. Now he has changed his ways and sworn to be with the Holy Spirit Church..."
Before she could finish her rebuttal, someone stopped her.
"Your Highness Princess, this is wrong."
Orange's body trembled. It turned out that the person who spoke was the "Son of God" of the Holy Spirit Church.
The "Holy Son" walked to the side of "Xu Sheng" and said in a loud voice: "The current Crown Prince Xu Tianran used the Holy Spirit Church to eliminate dissidents and persecute loyal people. I have evidence of everything that happened."
Ju Zi's face was already extremely livid, but she still refused to give in: "What nonsense! This is all because your Holy Spirit Church is not tolerated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so you are biting back."
"Xu Sheng" frowned and said coldly: "Do you think that the destruction of the Holy Spirit Church is Xu Tianran's credit?"
Under the cold questioning, his aura became stronger.
Orange looked grim, having already guessed the worst.
"Xu Sheng" looked around and slowly said, "I believe that everyone must have heard about the just-concluded Soul Master Competition. There was a sect team composed of only one person who fought against the evil soul master forces in Mingdu, right?"
Xu Yue couldn't help but be excited. After this reminder, he thought of the Dragon Tiger Gate where Huo Yuhao was.
He asked tentatively: "You mean... Dragon Tiger Gate?"
The one who answered him was a cold female voice.
"Yes, it is Dragon Tiger Gate, but Dragon Tiger Gate is just a nickname for our seclusion. Now is the time to show our real name to the world."
Xue Di became the focus of everyone's attention again. She just raised her eyebrows, and her cold gaze was like a sharp ice ridge piercing into everyone's heart.
"We are the North."
As soon as the word "Northland" was uttered, the already fierce pressure increased to three levels.
The members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group, who had been struggling to hold on with willpower, now felt their brains go blank, and the suffocating feeling in their chests made it difficult for them to breathe.
Sweat soaked the clothes on their backs and froze in the intense cold, bringing a chill deep into their bones.
The one who felt the most suffocated was Orange. Her head buzzed and an emotion called despair surged up in her.
That Northern family was actually the other party's backer.
Then, apart from the Titled Douluo in front of him, there is also the mysterious Northland Douluo. Aren't they all supporters of the other party?
The Holy Spirit Cult has already withdrawn from Mingdu. Without the combat support of Long Ye and the other two Ultimate Douluo, is there anyone in Mingdu who can check and balance the Northern Douluo?
Even Kong Lao, the guardian god of Mingdu, would not rashly become his enemy, right?
Xu Yue and other nobles, both big and small, were trembling in the cold, and they all remembered the name of this strange force, the Northland, firmly in their hearts.
"Xu Sheng" said in a deep voice: "It was the Northern Family that destroyed the Holy Spirit Church. The Xishui League has also been annexed by the Northern Land. If anyone dares to act recklessly here, then..."
As he spoke, eight evenly matched spirit rings appeared behind him.
