Douluo: Peerless Sky Eye Yuhao

Chapter 224 Huo Yuhao’s temptation, taking advantage of his plan

When Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi returned to the academy, countless figures fell from the sky and fell vertically into the original evil soul master's stronghold. When they saw the half-collapsed building, the middle-aged soul master led by the commander His eyes changed slightly, and he immediately waved his hand,

"One team will follow me in to check, and the rest will stay outside. If there are any people who behave strangely, they will be arrested immediately."

Under the leadership of the leader of this soul engineer patrol, a dozen people stepped into the smoking, collapsed and incomplete building.

In the nearby blocks, a large number of soldiers began to gather. When they saw the arrival of the soldiers, the people who were originally panic quickly calmed down.

Walking into the building, although many places have collapsed, there are still parts that are intact.

There was no living thing in the hall where the rubble was scattered, and it was even pitch black because the soul guide lamp was damaged.

"Shh."

When the portable soul guide lamp lights up and the darkness is driven away, people can clearly see the scene inside.

There were some strange blood marks remaining on the wall, and active soul power fluctuations floated in the air, proving that this was the initial place of the explosion.

"Search in groups of three. If you find anything, please report it immediately."

Li Caiyuan, the leader of this patrol team, said in a condensed voice.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison, and quickly dispersed in groups of three in the spacious hall and other dilapidated places.

The places where evil soul masters have lived seem to be naturally colder. Even if everyone is wearing protective armor, they still feel a chilly breath flowing through their bodies. This feeling is uncomfortable.

But they don't know all this yet.

"Sir, there is a situation here."

In less than ten seconds, a shout rang out.

A soul engineer was squatting on the ground and shouting.

Hearing the sound, Li Caiyuan hurriedly walked over. Only then did he notice that an underground passage was buried under the pile of rubble in front of the team member.

"Come here and move the rocks. Remember not to release your soul power, so as not to cause secondary damage to the entrance." He shouted.

The team members who were scattered around rushed over, and one by one they acted as stone carriers. They were soul masters after all. These small pieces of gravel were naturally emptied quickly, and a dusty corridor appeared in front of everyone. In eyes.

"Be careful, follow me." Soul power surged in Li Caiyuan's body, and he held a soul guide sword in his hand, and then stepped into it.

Others followed.

The corridor is not deep, and it ends quickly. When you walk out, you see another hall, but it is obvious that the surface of the hall has been severely damaged by the explosion, especially the ground, which is full of broken marks.

But it is not without gain. On the deep wall of the hall, there are several door-like entrances. The doors are broken, so you can go in directly.

The group of people once again separated into groups of three and each chose a room to search. However, when they entered it, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.

In the rooms with an area of ​​only thirty square meters, an extremely unpleasant stench floated in the air, like the stench of a rotting corpse. In the corners of the walls, maybe it was too humid, but there were also overgrown moss.

But this is not the scariest thing. Deep in the room, there are countless white bones piled up. To be precise, they are no longer white bones, but a pile of tattered dark red bones, including many human skulls.

When the light of the portable soul guide lamp fell into the empty eye sockets of the human skull, a strange glimmer of light was transmitted from it, making people feel heart-stopping.

At the same time, there were broken red crystal fragments all over the ground. These fragments emitted a strange red light, which was quite similar to the blood-red skeletons that appeared in the sky at night.

Such a scene fell in everyone's eyes, and their hearts were strongly impacted.

At this moment, everyone understood why they felt cold after entering this building.

This is definitely the stronghold of an evil soul master!

"Sir, what should I do?"

One of the team members shouted while holding back the unpleasant smell of corpses.

Li Caiyuan even held his breath, because he breathed in a painful stench. His face turned cold, but before he could respond to the team members, a rapid beeping sound sounded.

The others subconsciously moved away from the door and looked towards the leader.

He picked up the communication soul guide and connected it, and a voice quickly came from the other side, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is here."

It was the other soul masters who were standing outside the building who sent the message.

The second prince is here?

Everyone was a little surprised.

"You guys stay here first, I'll go out for a while." Li Caiyuan's body flashed and he quickly left the basement.

In the courtyard, a group of young heroes with extraordinary bearing stood together, ten of them in total, all members of the royal patrol, surrounded by a patrol of soul masters with a rather respectful attitude.

And standing at the front of this group of young heroes was Xu Tianming, the second prince of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Your Highness."

After Li Caiyuan returned to the courtyard, he quickly came to Xu Tianming and saluted.

"Forget about etiquette, what is going on here?" Xu Tianming asked with a frown. Today he brought some noble descendants from the picket team who were worth winning over to a gathering, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Originally, the royal picket team was only responsible for the affairs of the imperial city and the royal family, but with the recent reforms, the imperial city became the entire Ming capital, so he hurriedly brought everyone here.

Commander Li clearly told Xu Tianming everything he saw in the basement.

When he learned that there were at least hundreds of corpses in the basement, Xu Tianming's expression became a little grimmer. He didn't care about the dead. People died every day in the empire. What made him angry was that there were actually people in Mingdu, the land at the feet of the emperor. Dare to do these things.

And he had even guessed who these people were, but he couldn't solve them.

However, he was also curious in his heart, who was the person who took away this evil soul master's stronghold?

"Your Highness, these things are definitely..."

Commander Li said in a solemn tone, but was stopped by Xu Tianming's look.

After reacting, Commander Li's pupils shrank, and he knew he had made a mistake, and hurriedly lowered his head. If he took the initiative to say the name of the evil soul master, and if the news leaked out, I'm afraid his life would be in danger.

Although he did not know everything about the fact that evil soul masters now had a special status in Mingdu, he did understand a little bit.

"Seal this place first, and I will enter the palace to meet His Majesty." Xu Tianming gave the order.

"As ordered." Commander Li responded respectfully.

"Let's go." Xu Tianming activated the flying soul guide and flew away in the direction of the palace, and all the other young heroes from the royal patrol followed.

"Be careful, don't let even a fly in." Li Caiyuan looked around.

The soul engineers of the patrol naturally understood and quickly separated to stand guard at different locations. But what no one noticed was that in the darkness outside this stronghold, a pair of eyes were watching all this.

In Mingdu, although the evil soul masters' strongholds are far apart, today's mutation is too special. The strongholds closer to this stronghold will naturally know about it quickly, and the evil soul masters hiding in it will also rush to Come, but before going inside the stronghold, you saw the people from the Imperial City Defense Army Soul Engineer Group.

……

"No, Mingde Hall is the empire's main research center for soul guidance devices. If you force your way in, what will happen if the emperor becomes angry and all the powerful men from the worship hall come out?"

In the fireplace, the flames danced, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.

Gui Wu Jing walked back and forth, and on a sofa, the Demon Emperor was sitting silently. When she heard Gui Wu Jing's words, she couldn't help but said: "Can't I, a mother, just watch with my eyes?" Is your daughter trapped? Or even be killed in the future and turned into a soul ring and soul bone absorbed?"

"boom."

As he said that, the Demon Emperor slapped a palm with a cold expression and landed on the coffee table. It instantly shattered into slag. Horrible fluctuations in soul power spread. In the hall, the ground shook violently. If you knew where this place was, I'm afraid that this With one palm strike, the entire palace-like building will collapse.

Gui Wu Jing stopped, his eyelids trembled a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "I know you are eager to save your daughter, but don't forget that your old injury has not been completely healed. If you attack Mingde Hall and suffer serious damage at this moment, It will only ruin your plans."

"Besides, it is not certain whether the person Mingdetang took away is your daughter. What you have to do now is to focus on the overall situation. As for your daughter, the next time the church will cooperate with Mingdetang, we will Go inside Mingde Hall and I will ask them to search. If there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible."

The Demon Emperor's chest was heaving and her fists were clenched. She had already gone to the Starlight Auction House in the Star Luo Empire and knew all the ins and outs.

Although I am not sure that the person photographed by Mingdetang is my daughter Lan Fuzi, she is definitely inseparable.

Slowly, she calmed down. What the Five Classics of Ghosts said was true. If she broke in without permission and attracted countless strong men from the Sun and Moon Empire, I'm afraid that not only would she not be able to escape, but her daughter would also die. In that case, She can no longer avenge her husband.

"By the way, when you went to the Starlight Auction House this time, how did the people there reveal it?" Gui Wujing changed the subject.

The Demon King said coldly: "They have a good trick. They use a reward of 100 million gold soul coins to lure all the powerful forces in the mainland to deal with Mingdetang secretly. However, it seems that no one dares to do it."

"That's right if no one dares to do it." Gui Wujing sat on the sofa and said solemnly, "The overall strength of Mingde Hall cannot be underestimated. Even Shrek Academy and our Holy Spirit Sect need to be wary. Which side of the mainland Do the forces dare to deal with them?"

As he spoke, Gui Wujing suddenly paused and his expression became strange, "Speaking of which, it seems that there is really a sect that dares to do this."

When the Demon King heard this, he subconsciously looked at it. However, in the hall, the ringtone of the communication soul guide suddenly rang.

Gui Wujing frowned, and summoned his soul power from across the air to absorb it and connect it. An urgent voice soon came from the other side,

"Something happened to the Great Elder."

Gui Wujing's face turned dark. Can you please stop for a moment? What do you mean something happened to the great elder?

I'm still fine.

……

royal palace.

"Father, the Holy Spirit Cult is becoming more and more arrogant and domineering. Just one stronghold has hidden hundreds of corpses. This is what we have seen. There are probably more that we have not seen. And how many such strongholds are there in Mingdu? We simply don’t know.”

"My son believes that it is time to prepare to cleanse the Holy Spirit Cult. Otherwise, if the incident that appeared in the sky above Mingdu tonight happens again, how will the people of Mingdu view it and how will the people in other parts of the empire view it?"

In the huge study room, Xu Tianming stood respectfully, but his expression was extremely serious.

Emperor Sun and Moon was writing something, as if he didn't hear Xu Tianming's words.

Xu Tianming did not dare to disturb and waited silently.

After more than a minute, the emperor put down his writing pen, looked up at his second son, and said calmly: "If I agree with your idea, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Tianming's eyes lit up, but he still considered it and said calmly: "The Holy Spirit Cult is powerful and it is by no means the best choice to attack them rashly. Therefore, I plan to arouse public indignation first and completely ignite public opinion. , then we can use the pressure of public opinion as an excuse to take action against the Holy Spirit Sect."

"The presence of hundreds of corpses in the stronghold we discovered today is the best accelerant. At the same time, we only target the Holy Spirit Sect stronghold inside Mingdu, and ignore other cities to minimize the hostility between the two sides."

"Although what happened tonight was most likely not caused by the evil soul master of the Holy Spirit Sect, the person who took down the evil soul master's stronghold was probably trying to lure us into doing these things. We might as well just use the trick. Anyway, this person's idea, It’s also in our interests.”

"So, father, what do you think?"

The emperor's expression was still indifferent, "Your idea is good, but you can't be too eager to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult. After all, rabbits will bite when they are anxious... Go ahead, I will let several worshipers in the worship hall guard you, no need I’m worried about the Holy Spirit Cult’s retaliation. This time, I will treat it as a blow to the Holy Spirit Cult. They have caused a lot of killings in various parts of the empire over the years. As the emperor, I should do something for my people.”

"Thank you, Father." Xu Tianming was excited, but his face did not change.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me yet." Emperor Sun and Moon said solemnly, "Father is old and his energy is not as good as before. Nowadays, there are many forces in the court, and everyone strictly guards their own interests. If the new emperor wants to ascend the throne, he cannot lose these people. If you understand their support, then give up some of your benefits and give them to them."

"When the time comes in the future, take them back together and let them vomit out whatever they eat at ten times the price."

"The prince is sick. As a younger brother, you should help him more."

Xu Tianming's body trembled, and his eyes subconsciously met the emperor's. The soft light seemed to flicker, awakening Xu Tianming, and his breathing quickened.

His father's words were almost a clear statement to him.

"My son, I obey." Xu Tianming knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and saluted respectfully.

"I'm tired, you go down first." The emperor said in a gentle tone, "If you have a chance, stop by and find out who is this person who seduced all this."

"Yes." Xu Tianming saluted again and then quietly retreated.

When the door closed, the emperor quickly raised his head, his eyes deep.

He agreed to this not only to weaken the Holy Spirit Sect, but also to see if his second son could take this opportunity to grow up.

The prince has a ruthless and decisive personality and possesses the aura of an emperor. However, he is physically disabled. Being emperor would harm the destiny of the empire. The power cannot be handed over to him until necessary.

The second son is not decisive enough in killing and not expanding enough, but he is more than capable of defending. If he ascends the throne in the future, he should be able to maintain the operation of the empire. Presumably, with the help of the enshrinement hall, the empire's economy will recover. , this is also the most reliable candidate for the crown prince at present.

The third son doesn't like politics. Instead, he likes to hang out with strong people, which is of no use to him.

Withdrawing his gaze, the emperor picked up the writing pen again and wrote vigorously. However, when he started writing, the strength was much stronger and it was a little out of shape.

He was also a little nervous inside.

Outside the Imperial Study Room.

Xu Tianming took a deep breath, trying to ease the shock in his heart.

Looking at the bright moon, I clenched my fists slightly, then relaxed them again after a few seconds.

"Brother, eldest brother, the work habits of the Holy Spirit Sect are quite suitable for you, and I might even seek cooperation with you. I want to see if I, who have united all the noble forces, can win, or if I am secretly supported by the Holy Spirit Sect. You win."

With a sneer, Xu Tianming strode towards the outside of the palace.
