Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 249 Nether Thunder Douluo
Huo Yuhao nodded, and then he and Jing Hongchen devised a plan to take down Ming Lei Douluo and make him a thorn in the side of the Holy Spirit Cult. This would undoubtedly be beneficial for future plans targeting the Holy Spirit Cult.

In the underworld of Mingdu, there are three major forces: Xishui Alliance, Pingfan Alliance, and Aodu Chamber of Commerce. These three forces all have powerful backers. Forces without such backers simply cannot gain a foothold in the underworld of Mingdu.

As the strongest of the three major forces, the Xi Shui Alliance has the largest sphere of influence. Its main business is selling military soul tools, medicines, and sometimes even arresting soul masters and selling them to various parts of the Douluo Continent.

The reason why the Xishui Alliance is so arrogant is mainly because it is backed by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Within the Sun and Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult possesses considerable strength.

Therefore, even the Ordinary Alliance and the Audu Chamber of Commerce have to give way to the Xishui Alliance to prevent a large-scale conflict from breaking out.

At this moment, in the Qingse Hotel, Minglei Douluo slowly opened his eyes, and the surging soul power in his body calmed down. He let out a long sigh and exited his seclusion.

In fact, for someone of his high position and power, if he were to go into seclusion, he would have to choose a safe place, since he is much more vulnerable than usual once he enters a state of seclusion.

In this situation, if someone wanted to assassinate him, the success rate would undoubtedly be very high.

Although the name "Green Hotel" sounds strange, it is one of the important strongholds of the Holy Spirit Cult, with direct access to the underground world and a high level of security.

For the Holy Spirit Cult, the greatest significance of the Evening Water Alliance is to maintain the cult's expenses and collect resources. After all, some things are difficult to circulate openly, but there are fewer restrictions when they circulate in the underground black market.

Ming Lei Douluo put away the soul guide shield that also had a soundproofing effect, and then called out to the door, "During my seclusion, did the sect leader, vice sect leader, or other elders notify me of anything?"

Upon hearing Ming Lei Douluo's deep voice, the Holy Spirit Cult disciples outside the door immediately said respectfully, "Reporting to the Third Elder, the Second Elder came by, but after learning that you are in seclusion, he instructed me to keep watch outside and told me that if you come to him after you leave seclusion, he will ask you to come to him."

"Alright, I understand. Now that my seclusion is over, you may leave."

Ming Lei Douluo got up from the futon, preparing to go find the Second Elder Nangong Wan. So he immediately flew out of the hotel. However, as soon as he left the hotel, he saw a familiar figure after flying a short distance.

Ming Lei Douluo immediately hovered in mid-air, looking at the familiar figure with some doubt: "Jing Hongchen, why are you here? Do you want to exchange soul tools with me? I have things to do today. If you really want to exchange soul tools, then wait for another time."

He knew Jing Hongchen, after all, they were both level nine soul masters and titled Douluo. Although the Holy Spirit Cult was not openly acknowledged, the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Sect were well aware of its existence.

Jing Hongchen immediately shook his head, rejecting Ming Lei Douluo's idea, and said, "Ming Lei Douluo, I am naturally not here to discuss soul tools with you. I can talk to Elder Kong about such matters."

I'm here to tell you some good news: a spy from the Sun Moon Empire rescued a woman named Nan Shuishui in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

After some investigation, we discovered that she has a relationship with you. I never imagined that the dignified Third Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult would have such an innocent past.

"Why should I believe you? You can't provide any evidence at all." The pupils of the Dark Thunder Douluo shrank slightly.

He truly hadn't expected that the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence agency was so powerful that they could even uncover his relationship with Nan Shuishui, whom he rarely mentioned to outsiders.

Jing Hongchen looked at Ming Lei Douluo and casually tossed out a letter. "This is the evidence I gave you. Take a look at this letter. Is it Nan Shuishui's handwriting?"

The letter was simple; it basically said that Nan Shui Shui knew about Ming Lei Douluo's current identity and situation, and felt somewhat guilty for rejecting him back then. Ming Lei Douluo quickly took the letter, flipped through it, and finished reading.

After a moment, he sighed: "Yes, this is indeed Nan Shuishui's handwriting, and the person who wrote the letter is also her. She is still as kind as she was back then."

Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Now you have two choices: either give up on Nan Shuishui and choose to do what you should do, or come with me to see Nan Shuishui now."

Of course, you're bound to have doubts about my motives. Let me be frank: my goal is simple—to have you create some level-nine soul tools that you're skilled at, and then hand them over to me.

The expression on Ming Lei Douluo's face was uncertain. After a moment, he made a decision: "Alright, Jing Hongchen, I'll go with you."

Compared to Nangongwan, he still chose Nanshuishui.

After all, Nan Shuishui was his former love. Even though he lost his ability to be a man after becoming an evil soul master for various reasons, he still harbored fantasies about Nan Shuishui. If possible, he hoped that Nan Shuishui would stay by his side for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll take you to see Nan Shuishui right now."

To be honest, Jing Hongchen wasn't confident that he could capture the Nether Thunder Douluo alive in a one-on-one fight.

After all, the opponent is an evil soul master, a titled Douluo, and a level nine soul master, so his combat power is quite exaggerated.

Moreover, given that the Qingse Hotel is one of the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, taking action here could easily attract the attention of other members of the Holy Spirit Cult, which would then cause considerable trouble.

Soon, Jing Hongchen set off with Ming Lei Douluo, flying towards a tall mountain peak on the outskirts of Mingdu.

In a tall mountain peak.

Forest.

Huo Yuhao was leaning against a tree, with Nan Shuishui beside him looking worried. Although Nan Shuishui had agreed to Huo Yuhao's previous request, she still had doubts about contacting Ming Lei Douluo.

After all, that was an extremely bloodthirsty evil spirit master!

Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, evil spirit masters have basically been synonymous with evil. Even in Shrek Academy's propaganda, evil spirit masters are portrayed as evil beings second only to the Spirit Hall's powerful figures.

Basically, every evil soul master has a lot of blood on their hands. She and the other party haven't seen each other for many years. Time can change a person. She really couldn't figure out what Ming Lei Douluo's attitude was towards her now.

What if the other person turns their love into hatred? Wouldn't that put me in an extremely dangerous situation?

"Huo Yuhao, are you sure my safety will still be guaranteed when Ming Lei Douluo arrives?" Nan Shuishui couldn't help but express her anxiety.
