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

Chapter 518 The Angry Zhongli Wu

Zhongli Wu said, "Alright, then go and take those offerings to the depths of the Demon Forest. When the Lord awakens, he will naturally enjoy those abundant offerings."

In fact, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Evil Eye Tyrant have a cooperative relationship.

Otherwise, how could the Holy Spirit Cult have placed its headquarters underground on the outskirts of the Demon Forest?

This place is very secluded and not easily discovered by humans, making it ideal for setting up headquarters.

However, this is the territory ruled by the Evil Eye Tyrant, who is the absolute ruler of the Demon Forest.

Even if the Holy Spirit Cult were to establish its headquarters here without the permission of the Evil Eye Tyrant, it would one day be destroyed by the Evil Eye Tyrant.

Many years ago, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, two Limit Douluo, came to the Demon Forest and awakened the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler. Relying on their own strength, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao gained the right to be taken seriously by the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

Later, the two reached a cooperation agreement with the Evil Eye Tyrant.

That is, allowing the Holy Spirit Cult to establish its headquarters in the Demon Forest, in return for which the Holy Spirit Cult must prepare offerings for the Evil Eye Tyrant every year.

These offerings included souls, spirit beasts from other places, or living people; to the Evil Eye Tyrant, they were all considered food.

"Yes, Master." Nangong Wan immediately led a group of people to send the offerings deep into the Demon Forest.

Because the Evil Eye Tyrant had agreed, basically none of the slightly intelligent soul beasts in the Demon Forest would obstruct the Holy Spirit Cult's annual "tribute" mission. After all, obstruction meant certain death.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked towards them from afar, flashing with electricity and accompanied by a deafening roar that echoed around the Demon Forest, reaching the ears of everyone present.

Soon, the lightning bolt struck, transforming into the Nether Thunder Douluo, clad in a black robe.

His face showed panic, and he rushed to Zhongli Wu's side, shouting, "Master, something terrible has happened! The hostages from Risheng City have been rescued, and the Holy Maiden has also been taken hostage!"

"What! What are you all doing? Sunrise City has so many Soul Master Corps members, including Beast King-level Soul Master Corps, and on top of that, you Holy Spirit Cult disciples. Your strength is already quite considerable. Even so, you still ran into trouble?"

Zhongli Wu was somewhat incredulous. He suddenly flew into a rage, his face contorting into a ferocious expression. "Tell me, who rescued the hostages? Who abducted the Holy Maiden?"

For Zhongli Wu, the hostages were meant to threaten the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and they could also be used as cultivation materials later, so they had some value.

Of course, he wasn't so furious about this matter.

What truly angered him was that the saintess had been kidnapped.

For Zhongli Wu, the Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya was actually very important.

The reason is simple: Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, both Limit Douluos, are too old and don't have much time left.

Once these two are gone, the Holy Spirit Cult's strength will inevitably be greatly reduced, its status within the Sun Moon Empire will plummet, and even its headquarters will have to be abandoned. After all, the Evil Eye Tyrant is no benevolent ruler.

The other party agreed to cooperate entirely because of the two Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao; as for himself, he was not even considered a threat.

Once the Holy Spirit Cult loses its Limit Douluo, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord will not hesitate to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters and kill the evil soul masters within, causing enormous losses to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Therefore, whether for their own benefit or for the development of the Holy Spirit Cult, they must cultivate new Limit Douluo in advance to prevent the overall strength of the Holy Spirit Cult from declining too much.

I have limited talent and I estimate that I will never be able to break through to the Limit Douluo level in this lifetime.

However, among the Holy Spirit Cult, the most likely evil soul master to become a Limit Douluo is naturally Tang Ya, the Blue Silver Saintess. After all, according to the standards for judging evil soul masters, Tang Ya is the most talented among the younger generation of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Her martial soul, Dark Blue Silver Grass, possesses the ability to devour life to aid in cultivation, which is undoubtedly one of the most suitable abilities for evil soul masters.

Moreover, under his secret manipulation, Tang Ya was extremely loyal to him, which was another advantage. He could make Tang Ya "willingly" do a series of things for him.

Therefore, Tang Ya's abduction undoubtedly ignited Zhongli Wu's anger.

Because of Zhongli Wu's reprimand, Ming Lei Douluo's face showed fear, and he said in a trembling voice, "Master, although there is no clear evidence, there are only a handful of forces on the Douluo Continent capable of doing such a thing."

I believe these two incidents were definitely committed by people from Shrek Academy. Master, do you remember the Shrek elders' attack on the Sun-Moon border a couple of days ago, which resulted in their crushing defeat?

Zhongli Wu frowned: "I remember. To be honest, Shrek Academy suffered a huge loss this time. Two Super Douluo died, but in the end, they didn't even kill a single border Soul Master. If I were at the border, I would have already taken the souls of those two Super Douluo."

At this point, he felt a little regretful. After all, souls at the Super Douluo level are rare. If he could collect the souls of these two Super Douluos, he would definitely be able to create a powerful vengeful spirit.

Ming Lei Douluo continued, "Master, I strongly suspect that those elders of the Sun and Moon Sect came to the Sun and Moon Border solely to create pressure on the border, attract the attention of the Sun and Moon powerhouses, and then secretly send powerful figures to Sunrise City to take away the hostages and the Holy Maiden."

Otherwise, why would these Shrek elders suddenly attack the border between the Sun and Moon when the situation is becoming increasingly tense? Wouldn't that escalate the conflict and increase the risk of war?
I think that if there were no profit to be made, the elders of Shrek Academy would never do such a thing.

On the way back to headquarters, I thought about it a lot and felt that there was a high probability that Shrek Academy would implement this plan.

After hearing these words, Zhongli Wu nodded, his face grim: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Perhaps Shrek Academy really did these two things. Damn Shrek Academy, one day I will completely destroy this academy that constantly hinders the great cause of the Holy Church!"

After saying this, he took a deep breath and continued, "Tell me the specifics of these two matters now."

Soon, Ming Lei Douluo quickly informed Zhong Liwu of the details of the two matters. After listening to these words, Zhong Liwu frowned and said, "Even if I were to take action, I wouldn't be entirely confident that I could rescue the Holy Maiden from the other party without harming her. Never mind, I'll go find my mother first."

After saying that, he went to find his mother, Ye Xishui. The reason he didn't go to find Long Xiaoyao was mainly because although Long Xiaoyao was his nominal "Uncle Long," he didn't listen to him at all.

In Zhong Liwu's view, a single word from his mother was more effective than a hundred words from him.
