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

Chapter 862 Ma Hongjun's Imagination
"It's still because I'm not strong enough. With my strength, I don't have much ability to resist destruction. I can't entrust my safety to a strange god-king whose strength far surpasses mine."

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao said:
"Ma Hongjun, you should return to the God Realm now. I need you to gather more information about Tang San and the God of Destruction, as well as the changes in the situation in the God Realm. Inform me of this information and these changes every now and then."

When I need you to do something else, I will come here to awaken your consciousness and discuss it with you.

"Of course, I can tell you very clearly now that our relationship with Tang San is not good, you could even say we are enemies. You can rest assured that you will cooperate with us."

For Huo Yuhao, intelligence is undoubtedly an extremely important element.

Since he couldn't enter the God Realm at the moment, he could only have Ma Hongjun continue to gather intelligence to understand the current situation within the God Realm.

Ma Hongjun nodded without any resistance. He said, "Okay, I will do as you have instructed. I hope you can keep your promise and reunite Xiangxiang with me in the future."

"Don't worry, I keep my word and won't deceive you like Tang San did."

Huo Yuhao smiled.

A look of inquiry flashed in Ma Hongjun's eyes as he glanced at Huo Yuhao and Electrolux, and continued, "By the way, how should I address you?"

"You can call me—the Ice God, and the man beside me is my teacher; you can call him—the Death God!"

Huo Yuhao said calmly.

After hearing these words, Ma Hongjun nodded: "Okay, I know how to address you from now on. Xiangxiang and I haven't seen each other for many years. May I spend more time with Xiangxiang?"

"of course can."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, not seeming to care too much.

Anyway, this is just a wisp of Ma Hongjun's consciousness; the other party wouldn't be so foolish as to try to seize Bai Chenxiang's soul under these circumstances.

As a first-level deity, the teacher's strength completely overwhelmed Ma Hongjun's. Now, Ma Hongjun's divine consciousness could be annihilated in the blink of an eye for the teacher.

So Ma Hongjun's consciousness quickly stepped forward and had a conversation with Bai Chenxiang's soul that had lasted for ten thousand years. The two chatted more and more happily, and their smiles grew deeper and deeper, as if they wanted to completely express the longing emotions accumulated over ten thousand years.

After some time, Ma Hongjun's consciousness reluctantly separated from Bai Chenxiang's soul, and he made a promise:

"Xiangxiang, I will definitely be reunited with you. Wait for me!"

"Yes!" Bai Chenxiang nodded vigorously.

Soon, Ma Hongjun's divine sense re-entered the statue.

Bai Chenxiang's soul was taken away from this place by Huo Yuhao and Ilex. Next, Huo Yuhao and Ilex will return to the Underworld to find the phoenix corpse and try to decipher more of the God King's mysteries from it.

Soon, the atmosphere in the valley became quiet.

Spirit world.

A lake formed entirely of lava, its surface a deep red, scorching hot, distorts the air. Yet, even in this environment, a man lies on the lake's surface.

A smile appeared on his face, and hope shone in his eyes.

Thoughts surged in my mind like endless waves:

"Great! I finally have a chance to reunite with Xiangxiang. This so-called Ice God and Death God also have grudges against Tang San, otherwise they wouldn't have given me such a mission."

"However, could the Ice God and the Death God be undercover agents secretly trained by the God of Destruction? Did he send these two to test my loyalty to Tang San? Is he that suspicious?"

The more Ma Hongjun thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The Ice God's aura was much weaker than the Death God's, but it still possessed a strange, powerful presence. He guessed that the Ice God might have been stronger than him in his prime, but was now severely injured, causing his spiritual energy to plummet.

As for the Grim Reaper, he is a genuine first-level deity, a chief god in the divine realm.

He would never believe that these two were mortals who had amassed their divine positions on their own without any backing. But if a god-king was secretly nurturing them, then everything would make sense.

It should be noted that among the five great god-kings in the current god realm, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life are extremely ancient beings with profound foundations. As for Tang San, Ji Dong, and Lie Yan, they are actually considered "newly promoted god-kings".

He certainly wouldn't believe that such an extremely ancient being didn't have a way to secretly cultivate deities.

"However, since they're asking me to gather information about the God of Destruction at the same time, they're probably trying to cover up their origins by 'distancing themselves' in this way. Hmph, I've already seen through everything!"

"In any case, Xiangxiang's soul has been retrieved from the underworld, which is a huge step forward."

"Even for Xiangxiang's sake, I have to work even harder to find out information about Tang San. Of course, I can't find out from Tang San himself. After all, Tang San is too cunning and treacherous. In order to maintain his image, he won't tell me some things."

For example, Tang Hao and Ah Yin went to the mortal realm and did things that violated the rules of the divine realm. If it weren't for the punishment from the divine realm committee, I would still be completely unaware of it.

"Go visit Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and see if you can get some information out of them."

To be honest, he had high hopes for it.

After all, the fact that Zhou Weiqing was an undercover agent has been confirmed by the destroyer.

The reason this matter could be confirmed was mainly because when he was having dinner with Tang Hao, he learned from Tang Hao that Tang San had saved Zhou Weiqing, and that this Zhou Weiqing later became a God of Destruction.

Ma Hongjun immediately rose from the lava lake, quickly transforming into a fiery red streak of light and leaving the area.

Underworld.

Click!

Blinding lightning surged, like a leaping dragon, instantly illuminating the ink-black clouds in the sky.

The faint cry of a phoenix echoed from the dark clouds, deafeningly loud.

Huo Yuhao and Electrolux looked up at the dark clouds.

The enormous, blood-stained wings swayed slightly, as if trying to tear the dark clouds apart to reveal their full form. The battered skeleton, illuminated by the lightning, appeared as if draped in a ghastly white.

"The phoenix corpse exudes the aura of a god-king. It can be basically confirmed that it belongs to that god-king level phoenix god. Teacher, we must be careful when investigating this phoenix corpse!"

Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

According to the original setting, the Phoenix God was killed by the Dragon God, so there is no possibility that this phoenix corpse is still alive, after all, the Dragon God is too powerful.

But it's always good to be careful.

“Okay.” Electrolux nodded and instructed, “Yuhao, stay close to me and stay behind me so I can take better care of you.”

"Yes, teacher!" Huo Yuhao replied.

Then, Electrolux waved his scepter, and jet-black death power rapidly condensed, landing on Huo Yuhao and transforming into a magnificent jet-black robe.

If Huo Yuhao were attacked, this magnificent robe, formed from the divine power of death, would naturally protect him and provide him with some buffer time.
