Chapter 228 The guy without the soul of the evil soul master (two in one)

"stop."

In front of a hidden cave somewhere in the Demonic Forest, a dry and thin palm stopped in front of Huo Yuhao, and then, a hoarse voice like a broken bellows came from the black robe.

"ID tag."

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, took out a heavy gray token from the storage space, and handed it over.

Unexpectedly, the man did not return the token to Huo Yuhao after checking it. Instead, he slowly raised his head, revealing his bony face, and looked at him up and down with some vigilance.

"If I remember correctly, the holder of this division token shouldn't be you, right? How did you get it?"

After saying that, the thin man's vision suddenly became dark and cold.

Next to the man, another figure in black robes, who looked slightly stronger, also tensed up his body, and invisible soul power rippled out. He looked ready, just like Huo Yuhao if he didn't answer an answer. Well, the two of them would take action without hesitation.

They couldn't help but be careless. The young man in front of them didn't look like an evil spirit master in either temperament or appearance. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't feel the young man's aura and were afraid, they would both have taken action directly. How could they have done it? Ask like this.

"...How did you get it?"

Huo Yuhao murmured in surprise, and then, as if he was amused by these words, the corner of his mouth curled up in a slightly mocking arc.

"Of course I got it by killing the holder you mentioned."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed the neck of the man in front of him under his hood.

"you!"

The man's pupils shrank suddenly. He obviously did not expect Huo Yuhao to suddenly burst out in anger. He was caught off guard and before he could even say anything, he was choked by Huo Yuhao like a chicken.

The sound stopped suddenly, and the intense panic made the man struggle subconsciously, but no matter how hard he tried, the hand holding his neck was like an iron hoop and remained motionless.

How is this possible! ?

Looking at Huo Yuhao's overly young face, a look of horror flashed in the man's eyes. Although he was just a guard responsible for guarding the door, his cultivation had reached the level of a Soul Emperor. How could he not even be able to break free from the palm of a young man?

How old is he? Even an evil soul master can't be this strong! ?

The companions on the side were also shocked when they saw this. Just when he was about to release his martial spirit, the temperament of Huo Yuhao in front of him suddenly changed.

A faint stream of gray air escaped from his body, and the two of them felt a suffocating breath of death rushing towards their faces, replacing all the coldness and indifference that originally belonged to Huo Yuhao.

As if their hearts were clenched tightly by an invisible hand, their bodies were frozen in place, not daring to make the slightest move.

Just like the body's instinctive fear of death, feeling the chill spreading from their backs, the two of them had no doubt that the boy in front of them definitely had the ability to kill them both.

At this moment, the companion standing aside seemed to finally realize something and looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.

"You, you are the one the third elder mentioned."

Huo Yuhao was noncommittal and looked at the man's dull expression. The smile on his face slowly faded and he asked indifferently.

"Can I go in now? Or do you plan to go down there and ask him in person?"

The skinny man didn't dare to say anything more. He carefully handed over the gray token with his hands.

"Sir, please come in."

The next second, he felt a light touch on his hand, and the restraint on his neck disappeared at the same time.

As if he had lost all his strength, the man fell to the ground, breathing heavily and choking.

In response, Huo Yuhao just looked away indifferently. As his breath converged, he returned to his previous harmless appearance.

Glancing at the deep cave in front of him, he turned his head to look at the man still standing beside him, frowned and asked.

"This is my first time coming to the headquarters. Where do branch elders like me need to report?"

"Forehead……"

Before the man could speak, the thin man who had just been choked by Huo Yuhao spoke first.

"Me, me!"

The man raised his hand as if he was volunteering. As the fear of surviving the disaster receded from his face, he forced a smile and looked up at Huo Yuhao in a flattering manner.

"Thank you for not killing me, sir. I am willing to accompany you in."

Just kidding, this is the genius that the third elder specifically warned half a year ago that he is expected to become the Holy Son.

If he was a little disapproving before, then after personally experiencing the feeling of being helpless when facing Huo Yuhao, he already firmly believed in the words of the third elder.

At such an age and with such strength, becoming the Holy Son is definitely a certainty. Even if he can't hug him, he will try his best to atone for the offense he just committed.

Even though Huo Yuhao doesn't look like an evil soul master, who knows if he will cause trouble for me in the future because of this incident?

"Then let's go."

Huo Yuhao did not refuse. After putting the token in his hand into the storage space, he walked towards the inside of the cave. Upon seeing this, the man hurriedly told his companions and followed him in.

Entering the cave, you will see an endless downhill corridor with obvious traces of artificial excavation. In addition to being a bit depressing and dull due to the dark environment, there is no unpleasant smell in the corridor as Huo Yuhao expected, and there is nothing scary about it. Human blood.

But it's normal to think about it. Even evil soul masters have different abilities. Not everyone likes to be in an environment with broken limbs and bloody flesh.

Even wild beasts know that pooping must be done outside the den, so the evil spirit master will naturally not be so immodest as to turn his base camp into a mess.

Seemingly noticing that Huo Yuhao had been looking around, the thin man took the initiative to introduce him.

"Sir, the headquarters of our Holy Spirit Sect is down there, at a depth of about two hundred meters above the ground. Although I have never seen what Mingde Hall looks like, I have heard from others that our scale is absolutely compared to Mingde Hall. It’s worse than anything else.”

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

After all, judging from the situation in the past life, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult is very hidden. Even Xu Tianran, who was already the Emperor of the Sun and Moon at that time, did not know that such a huge underground base could be built quietly in such a place. , you can imagine how much resources are consumed.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked.

"How many people are there in the headquarters?"

The man was obviously prepared for this question and answered without thinking.

"Not counting elders like you, the number of people who have been staying at the headquarters for a long time is about 1,500. However, there are many people performing tasks outside right now, so the number of people in the headquarters is relatively small, about 1,300. Hundreds of people.”

"What's the strength of these more than a thousand people?"

"They are all beings with the initial Soul King cultivation level."

"Huh? There is still a Soul King in the headquarters?"

Huo Yuhao asked in a surprised tone: "I remember that holy servants are not qualified to come to the headquarters, right?"

In his previous life, he had heard Nana mention that only holy servants who had reached the sixth ring of cultivation could be qualified to go to the headquarters to be promoted to the Holy Spirit. Logically speaking, there should be no Soul King in the headquarters.

"It's like this. These soul kings are all young people like adults. Because their martial souls and talents are very powerful, they were promoted to become holy spirits in advance and were trained by the headquarters."

"Although their cultivation level is only Soul King, the status of these people is much higher than that of ordinary Holy Spirits. Some of them can even be on the same level as the elders who have Soul Douluo cultivation level."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "How many people are there in total?"

"I don't know the specific number, but it will definitely not exceed fifty. Apart from them, there are no other soul kings in the headquarters. Among the remaining people, the largest number are soul emperors and soul saints. The former There are about 500 people, and the latter is about 800 people. The number of Soul Douluo is about the same as Soul King, probably slightly more, about 60 or 70 people."

This is probably the number one force in the mainland...

Huo Yuhao sighed in his heart. Only when he truly understands it can he understand what a terrifying force this is.

Not only does it crush Shrek and the Noumenon Sect in terms of high-end combat power such as Titled Douluo, but even the backbone of the Soul Saint and Soul Emperor is not inferior to the Star Luo Empire, which claims to have the largest number of soul masters.

And this is just the headquarters, not counting the holy servants in each branch.

There are more than a dozen to thirty people in each sub-altar. The number of holy servants who are generally in the Soul Sect and even the Soul King is conservatively estimated to be five or six hundred.

"Sir, we are almost there."

After walking quickly for a few minutes, the downward corridor suddenly became smoother. Looking at the light coming from the end, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly and followed the man out.

What comes into view is a huge space with a height of nearly fifty meters and an endless space as far as the eye can see.

With just one glance, Huo Yuhao understood that the scale of the thin man's words was even greater than that of Mingdetang, and there was absolutely no exaggeration.

Although it is not entirely made of metal like Mingde Hall, there are more than a thousand brightly lit gray buildings located in this huge space. Deep in the space, there are also buildings of other colors.

Looking around, it looks like a small underground city.

"According to the different colors, the functions of these buildings are also different. The most gray buildings are the residences provided by the headquarters for evil soul masters, because most evil soul masters are withdrawn by nature and are unwilling to contact other people. In order to avoid mutual interactions, A conflict broke out, so it is strictly forbidden to break into other people's houses without permission. Only elders who started in Contra have this qualification."

The man was still introducing him very attentively.

"In addition to the gray buildings, there are also several buildings with larger areas and black surfaces. They are all mainly functional."

"For example, a soul guidance device laboratory specially provided for evil soul masters who have such needs, or a training ground for practicing abilities, an arena for mutual competition, or even the ascension ceremony for each saint. , also in one of the black buildings.”

Huo Yuhao's eyes shimmered, looking at the end of his field of vision, and after catching the faint golden color, he asked aloud.

"Where's the golden one?"

"The golden one is the sacred place of the headquarters."

There was a look of fanaticism on the man's face.

"The leader, deputy leader and others usually live there. Unless there are special circumstances, only elders and worshipers who have reached the level of Titled Douluo can enter."

"I understand, take me to the reporting place."

“Yes, sir.”

Under the guidance of the man, Huo Yuhao soon arrived at a black building. It seemed that because of his eccentric personality, although there were thousands of evil soul masters living here, Huo Yuhao did not meet many wandering on the road along the way.

In contrast, Huo Yuhao, who had just arrived, was like a sun that was always emitting eye-catching light and was hard to ignore. As soon as he entered the building, he attracted the attention of all the evil soul masters present.

Those who could appear here were naturally the elders of the branch temple who came to report like Huo Yuhao. Without exception, the first time they saw Huo Yuhao, they had the same idea as the thin man.

No, this guy is also an evil soul master?

Even those evil soul masters who were not interested in beauty and thought that no matter how beautiful it was, it was just a red-faced skeleton and regarded it as a mass of flesh and blood could not help but feel a ripple in their hearts at this moment.

Some jealous people were already secretly cursing Huo Yuhao in their hearts.

Damn, a guy without the soul of an evil soul master.

We are all rats in the gutter, why do you look so good and bright?

Look at this delicate and harmless appearance, let alone killing people, I am afraid that he will tremble with fear at the sight of blood, right?

When did the threshold of evil soul masters become so low?

Or is it that his martial soul type is more special and he became stronger in that way?

With undisguised malice, the invisible original sin energy escaped from them and continuously flowed into Huo Yuhao's body.

I don't know whether it is because all seven original sin origins are unlocked, or because the third martial soul makes him more powerful in controlling the original sin origin, the previous restriction of absorbing original sin energy once every three days has disappeared. Now, as long as Huo Yuhao wants, he can continuously absorb original sin energy from other people.

It seems that because there is no god position, these invisible energies will dissipate by themselves after staying in his body for a period of time, so that he can't store them, and can't absorb this energy to assist his cultivation like the original sin gods in the God Realm.

Although I don't know what these energies are used for, it's impossible that they are just used to unlock the source of original sin.

At this time, the thin man who was in charge of leading the way ignored the gazes of others and quickly walked to the side of the old man in a silver robe, whose status was obviously higher than others. He whispered something and pointed at Huo Yuhao.

As time went by, the indifference on the old man's face gradually turned into seriousness. No one knew what he said. The thin man nodded and turned to walk out of the hall, while he strode to Huo Yuhao and spoke in a serious tone.

"Mr. Ling Bing, the Third Elder has instructed that if you come here, send someone to notify him immediately. Please wait for a moment. I believe the Third Elder will come soon."

"As for the report, if nothing special has happened in the branch temple you are responsible for in the past six months, there is no need to waste time on such things."

Facing the genius recruited by the Third Elder himself, he naturally would not put on airs. Not to mention that from the man's introduction just now, Huo Yuhao's strength is obviously not comparable to those Soul Kings in the headquarters. Even if this young man does not have strong strength, the fact that he is favored by the Third Elder is enough for him to treat him seriously.

Why can some of the fifty Soul Kings in the headquarters be on par with the elders of Soul Douluo? It is because they are favored by the elders or worshippers of Titled Douluo because of their own talents and are accepted as disciples.

There was even a genius who was personally accepted as a disciple by the leader and is now a Soul Emperor. Although he has not been named a Holy Son, his status is comparable to that of an elder with Titled Douluo cultivation.

Seeing this scene, the evil soul masters who were watching were obviously stunned, and then they began to sweat uncontrollably on their backs.

It was a close call.

Unlike the evil soul masters who stayed at the headquarters, those who took the initiative to go to the branch temple to become elders tend to be more flamboyant. If one of them had not been able to resist provoking Ling Bing just now, there would be no way to survive when the third elder came.

"I know."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and found a chair to sit down. The old man was also very tactful and did not disturb him again.

However, just when the old man was about to go about his own business, a door was suddenly pushed open from the hall.

The third elder came so soon?

With doubts in their hearts, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and after seeing who was coming, they were shocked and jumped up from their seats.

“Meet the deputy leader!”

The beautiful figure, although with some traces of time, still can’t hide the beautiful face and the dark red lines at the corners of the eyes. The person who came is the deputy leader of the Holy Spirit Church, Feng Ling.

Looking at this woman who had fought with him several times in his previous life, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had prepared himself before coming to the headquarters, he didn’t expect to meet a big shot of the Holy Spirit Church so soon.

Feng Ling didn’t come alone. There was also a figure that Huo Yuhao felt familiar with beside her.

Yan Feng.

One of the members who represented the Holy Spirit Church in the Mingdu Elite Soul Master Competition in the previous life, he was the second Soul Saint of the Holy Spirit Church team besides Tang Ya at that time. Now he met him three years earlier. Judging from the soul power fluctuations he exuded, he is still at the level of Soul Emperor.

Faced with everyone's greetings, Feng Ling did not speak. Her blue-gray eyes scanned the area indifferently, and finally slowly stopped at Huo Yuhao, who seemed to be a maverick and sat motionless in his seat, with a slightly frowned brow.

"New face?"

The reason why she could tell it apart was not because she remembered the faces of everyone in the headquarters, but because Huo Yuhao was too special. Just based on his appearance and temperament, anyone who saw him once would be deeply impressed.

Yan Feng also noticed Huo Yuhao. Looking at this young man who was more arrogant than himself as a disciple of the leader and dared to sit in front of the deputy leader, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Damn, he had never seen such an arrogant person in his life.

Seeing Feng Ling looking over, the old man who had not had time to leave rolled his throat slightly, as if he was worried that he would be implicated, and explained in a dry tone.

"Deputy leader, this is the Ling Bing mentioned by the third elder."

"Ling Bing?"

After a brief moment of shock, she seemed to suddenly recall something, and looked at Huo Yuhao again with a strange look.

"Is he the one that the third elder said has the ability to become the Holy Son?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Feng's face, which was already a little ugly, became gloomy as if water was about to drip out.

As the most talented young man in the Holy Spirit Church, and the leader's direct disciple, he has always regarded becoming the Holy Son as his goal.

Only he knows how hard he has tried to kill people for this.

Now he is told that a newcomer wants to snatch the position of the Holy Son from him?

How can he tolerate this?

"Boy, who allowed you to sit and talk to the deputy leader? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the third elder!"
