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

Chapter 261 The Shocked Zhongli Wu
Although she had not been a member of the Holy Spirit Cult for long, as a saintess, she naturally had access to most of the cult's internal documents.

After all, within the Holy Spirit Cult, few people held a higher status than her, the Holy Maiden.

Therefore, she was naturally very clear about the origin of the Holy Emperor's statue.

Legend has it that the first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was hunted down by the Spirit Hall and forced to enter the Slaughter City, where he became a Fallen One.

However, he always longed to leave the dangerous Killing City and go to the outside world. After all, the Spirit Hall could not always send people to hunt him down. As long as he left the Killing City and found a place to hide his identity, he would have a great chance of surviving.

However, leaving the City of Slaughter was by no means an easy task, which is why the first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was extremely desperate at the time.

However, a mysterious powerful figure used his methods to destroy the very foundation upon which the City of Slaughter existed.

The first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult possessed a unique martial soul; he did not die. He then successfully escaped the City of Slaughter, gradually cultivated and grew stronger, and eventually founded the Holy Spirit Cult.

The first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult later discovered the true identity of this mysterious powerful figure and revered him as the Holy Emperor.

Of course, for reasons unknown, the first leader of the Holy Spirit Cult did not record the true identity of the Holy Emperor.

At this moment, the eight elders and a group of outstanding disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult all looked at the statue with shock. Usually, the statue would not move at all, but today it actually raised its trident on its own initiative.

Masked Douluo snorted coldly and said, "What is this thing that dares to play tricks? In my opinion, there is a Soul Master manipulating the idol nearby! Since the founding of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Holy Emperor has never manifested his power."

After saying this, Masked Douluo took a step forward, looked at the statue, and said, "I want to see who is hiding behind you."

Just as he was about to make his move, suddenly, an almost suffocatingly powerful pressure emanated from the statue, sweeping across the entire area.

Masked Douluo froze, unable to move. He looked at the statue in horror, feeling that his life was seriously threatened. It seemed that the other party could easily kill him with just a slight move.

How could this be? Even the Supreme Elder Ye Xishui couldn't possibly render me immobile with just his own pressure. Could it be that the Holy Emperor has truly descended?

Tang Ya felt the immense pressure and a respectful expression appeared on her face. She cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Sect. May I ask what brings you here? If we members of the Holy Spirit Sect can do something for you, it would be our honor."

Tang San, who had already channeled a wisp of his divine consciousness into the statue, was somewhat frustrated because he recognized Tang Ya's identity. This person was clearly the current leader of the Tang Clan, shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Tang Clan, but now she had become the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult.
According to the rules of the Tang Sect, Tang Ya, as the sect leader, should distance herself from the inherently evil evil spirit masters.

However, through Wang Dong's perspective, he had previously come to understand Tang Ya's personality and knew that she would never betray the Tang Clan and join the Holy Spirit Cult.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the other party was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult.

Tang San had no intention of saving Tang Ya, since Tang Ya was currently staying with the Holy Spirit Cult and still had some value to him.

When the Holy Spirit Cult is no longer useful in the future, Tang Ya can deal with it, thereby enhancing the already declining reputation of the Tang Clan.

He replied, "You are indeed a sensible saintess. I do need you to do some things."

He began to make grand promises: "As long as you do a good job of the tasks I have assigned you, I will definitely reward you."

He then began demanding that the Holy Spirit Cult arrest some of the genius Soul Masters from Douluo Continent and bring them near the statue for his screening.

This was actually a search for a new star; he hadn't forgotten his true purpose. Moreover, in order to gather the power of faith, he demanded that the followers of the Holy Spirit Cult devoutly believe in him.

In the end, he spared Masked Douluo, which made Masked Douluo extremely grateful.

Although he had just sent a wisp of his divine sense into the statue and used his aura to intimidate a group of evil soul masters present, this was merely exploiting a loophole. He would never actually take action unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the God of Destruction is now able to access the central hub of the divine realm, making him far more powerful than before.

This also means that, if the God of Destruction is willing, it will be easier to discover that Tang San has done things that do not conform to the rules of the God Realm.

If he were to be discovered to have violated the rules of the divine realm, it would mean that the God of Destruction would inevitably criticize the matter at the divine realm's council.

The God of Destruction might even spread rumors in the God Realm that Tang San, the God of Law Enforcement, did not set a good example.

The matter of Tang San's parents has already spread like wildfire throughout the God Realm. However, Tang San has been a "good god" in the God Realm for many years, so his reputation among the gods is actually very high. Therefore, this matter has not had a significant impact on his reputation.

The image of the God of Destruction is mostly negative in the minds of most deities.

Therefore, Tang San's image in the minds of most gods remains relatively stable.

But if this kind of thing happens again and again, the gods in the God Realm are not fools. They will definitely change their attitude towards Tang San. At that time, it will be difficult for Tang San to win over the other gods.

"What? The Holy Emperor's statue has manifested?" Zhongli Wu looked at Nangong Wan with a completely bewildered expression.

The other party just vividly recounted the process of the Holy Emperor's statue manifesting itself. Although Zhongli Wu is the sect leader, he doesn't believe in the Holy Emperor at all; he only believes in his own strength.

Even the so-called holy sons or daughters, in his eyes, were nothing more than useful tools.

He trained the Holy Maiden only to create another powerful figure for the Holy Spirit Cult before Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao passed away.

After all, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao are already very old, and it's unknown when they might die.

Admittedly, Limit Douluo are very strong and have a lifespan much longer than ordinary Soul Masters, but the lifespan of Limit Douluo is not infinite. One day, they will all die.

Since Zhongli Wu himself lacked confidence in becoming a Limit Douluo, he could only place his hopes on the Holy Maiden.

"Master, isn't this a good thing? With the Holy Emperor here, our Holy Spirit Cult will surely flourish," Nangong Wan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Wu fell into thought. If the scene described by Nangong Wan was true, then the Holy Emperor must be extremely powerful.

Therefore, in a sense, this is definitely an opportunity for the Holy Spirit Church.

If the Holy Spirit Cult seizes this opportunity, it may soar to new heights and even become an even more powerful force.

As for the fact that the Holy Emperor is a deity, there seems to be no doubt about it at present. After all, the elders and disciples can all testify to the unimaginably powerful pressure.
