Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 457 Returning to the Sun and Moon, Unexpected Gains

A day later, Huo Yuhao returned to Mingdu.

The official opening day of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is tomorrow. After returning, Huo Yuhao did not immediately go back to the academy, but instead went to an inconspicuous alley in Mingdu and entered a small house that looked like it belonged to ordinary people.

"Master!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao enter, Nana's eyes lit up immediately, and she called out excitedly.

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded at her, then glanced at the six young people behind Nana who were dressed in simple gray linen clothes.

"Nana said, do you still want to follow me?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly.

One of the tall, resolute-looking young men, around twenty years old, exchanged glances with the others, stepped forward, knelt on one knee before Huo Yuhao, and said, "Yes! If it weren't for Young Master Huo, we would probably still be puppets of that cult, and we would never be able to escape their control for the rest of our lives."

"Young Master Huo not only saved the souls of Nana's parents, but also the souls of our parents, allowing them to rest in peace. Now, our greatest wish has been fulfilled. From this day forward, we only wish to follow you and repay your kindness in giving us a second chance!"

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. These people, like Nana, had all once been servants of the Holy Spirit Cult branch in Mingdu. They too had been forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult and work for it after their families were captured.

After the branch in Mingdu was destroyed, these people were rescued. They also conveyed their willingness to follow Huo Yuhao through Nana.

However, Huo Yuhao was not familiar with any of these people, and even Nana was not really familiar with them, so he had not agreed.

It's unbelievable that almost a year has passed and they are still persisting.

Looking at these young men and women, who were mostly in their teens or twenties, Huo Yuhao's eyes showed a thoughtful glint, and then he slowly said, "You have been able to persist until now, which shows some sincerity. I recently founded a sect myself, and I need all kinds of talents to help build it."

"But I don't know you well enough, and my newly established sect has many very important secrets that absolutely cannot be revealed. So, if you really want to follow me, I do have a way."

"I will use a secret technique to extract a small portion of your souls and temporarily keep it with me. If you ever betray me or your sect, this small portion of your souls will cause you unbearable suffering. Only after I can completely trust you will I return this portion of your souls to you. Are you willing?"

"A new sect! Young master, you've really established a sect?"

Before the young men could speak, Nana exclaimed in surprise.

Before Huo Yuhao left, he had mentioned wanting to establish a sect to her, but Nana thought that this matter would not be put on the agenda until Huo Yuhao finished his exchange and study with the Sun Moon Empire.

Unexpectedly, the young master actually established a new sect after only one vacation!

The young man was initially a little uneasy when he heard Huo Yuhao say he wanted to strip their souls away, but after seeing Nana's reaction, they exchanged a glance and felt relieved.

From Nana's words, they could at least confirm that Huo Yuhao himself intended to establish a sect, rather than making up an excuse to fool them.

Furthermore, Nana had mentioned the matter of her soul being separated to them beforehand, and Huo Yuhao had already returned Nana's soul to her without coercing her into doing anything.

Seeing the affirmation in his companions' eyes, the young man who seemed to be their leader looked at Huo Yuhao again and said firmly, "We are willing to join your sect and are also willing to strip our souls to show our loyalty!" Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Alright, in that case, welcome to the Spirit Pagoda."

Spirit Pagoda?
Is this the name of the young master's sect? What a strange name! Nana thought to herself.

"Oh, by the way, do any of you have a Soul Master with the Spirit attribute?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile, a sudden thought striking him.

The young man leading the group looked slightly surprised and said, "My martial soul is the Soul-Shocking Bell, which is a spiritual attribute martial soul."

Huo Yuhao glanced at him in surprise. He had only asked casually and hadn't even had much hope. He hadn't expected that there would actually be a rare spirit attribute soul master among these people.

He was overjoyed. Ah, he had picked up another spirit master!
Next, after stripping away a portion of their souls as a warning, Huo Yuhao kept the young man named Chen Zhong behind, intending to teach him the covenant spell before sending him back to Chuanling Valley to help build the sect.

As for the others, Huo Yuhao gave them a token and then arranged for them to go back first.

As for Nana, Huo Yuhao planned to let her continue her studies at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and then return with her in two years.

As for the reason, it is actually quite simple. First, as a reserve member of the next competition, Nana is highly valued at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and receives preferential treatment in terms of cultivation resources. It is equivalent to using someone else's chicken to hatch his own egg, and Huo Yuhao is naturally unwilling to waste such resources.

Secondly, Huo Yuhao still cares a lot about his physical and mental health, but since Sister Tao, Ning Tian, ​​and Di Qianqiu are not here, before taking down the little cabbage of the Hongchen family, Huo Yuhao feels that Nana is still very suitable to be a female assassin.

There was supposed to be an orange, but unfortunately, after the start of this semester, the orange dropped out and disappeared.

Huo Yuhao guessed that, if nothing unexpected happened, Ju Zi should have been arranged by Xu Tianran to be trained in the military camp, in preparation for becoming the Empress War God.

The new year at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy finally began. A month after Chen Zhong had fully mastered the contract spell, he left Mingdu and returned to Chuanling Valley.

After Chen Zhong left, Huo Yuhao's life returned to normal.

Just like in the original novel, Jing Hongchen found herself in a passive position in the court due to the unexpected rescue attack by the Body Sect, and was attacked by her former political enemies.

In the end, it was Xu Tianran who stepped forward again, taking this opportunity to win over Jing Hongchen.

Unlike the original story, this time, Jing Hongchen didn't put all his eggs on Xu Tianran. He also placed some on Huo Yuhao, and the most important piece of the bargaining chip was his beloved granddaughter, the little princess of the Hongchen family, Meng Baicai.

Huo Yuhao was happy to see this change happen.

When reading the original novel, Huo Yuhao actually had a rather favorable impression of the Red Dust Hall Master. It's just a pity that due to their respective positions and the obsession of certain three people with Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao and Jing Hongchen were naturally enemies in the original novel.

But it's different for me. Not to mention Meng Hongchen's sincerity towards me, Jing Hongchen herself has been quite good to me.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao felt that if the mainland really became turbulent in the future, Meng Hongchen would naturally be of great help, and the Hongchen family behind her would also be of great help if possible.
