Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 217 Moral Model Holy Spirit Church

The night was dark.

I don’t know if it was some kind of divine feeling, but there wasn’t a single star in the night sky tonight. The pitch-black night was like a man-eating beast, heavy and deep, giving people a bad premonition.

On the western wall of Xingluo City, Shu Yan looked at Xingluo City which was completely shrouded in the night. He placed his right hand on the cold wall, wondering what he was thinking.

The top auction has ended. In terms of financial resources, Mingde Hall and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which has been rooted in the three countries of the original continent for more than ten thousand years, are undoubtedly the two giants on the continent. But unfortunately, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does not have the terrifying strength of Mingde Hall. In the collision between financial resources and the strength behind them, they finally chose to give up, allowing Mingde Hall to win the so-called blood of the evil god at a jaw-dropping price.

To this end, they have mortgaged dozens of high-level soul guides. The Xingluo royal family is naturally delighted by this and sent these soul guides to the Xingluo Royal Soul Guide Research Institute overnight.

It is worth mentioning that Han Lin has secretly taken over the position of dean of the institute since he broke through to the ninth-level soul engineer. The ninth-level soul engineer Sun and Moon who surrendered to Xing Luo is the vice-dean. Even Shu Yan's father Su Mingxuan holds the position of director in the institute. After more than a year of development, there are now three ninth-level soul engineers and nearly ten eighth-level and eighth-and-a-half soul engineers in the entire institute. They are already the strongest soul engineer force in the former Douluo Three Kingdoms.

After Mingdetang purchased the blood of the evil god, they immediately prepared to use their special channel in Xingluo City to send it back to the country. This special channel was the same one they used in the original book to send the 100,000-year soul beast embryo back to Mingdetang.

As for why Shu Yan and others knew so much about him, the reason was very simple. The undercover agent from the Sun-Moon Empire who had infiltrated the Xing Luo Empire had been controlled by Shu Yan using the soul bone attached to his brain and turned into a blood slave. With him as the starting point, all the undercover agents or liaisons from the Sun-Moon Empire in Xing Luo City were now exposed, and finally all became so-called blood slaves.

The soul bone attached to the brain of a 500,000-year-old blood-red nine-headed bat king allowed Shu Yan to master all the spiritual soul skills of the blood bat clan, and blood slavery was one of them.

Invading the human body with mental poison and completely controlling the soul master's spiritual sea and mind. In addition, it can allow the soul master to survive in his original state and become a blood slave. This is the first time Shu Yan has used this soul skill, and the effect is very good, but it is a bit evil, a typical method of an evil soul master.

Under the huge mental power, several figures who quickly fled from the city did not notice Shu Yan and others who were watching them at all. After meeting up with other support personnel outside the city, the group quickly disappeared into the night.

Behind them, a shadow emerged from the dark earth and then quickly chased in the direction they left. If Shu Yan hadn't used his soul bone skills to share his perception with everyone, the girls would probably not have noticed it at all.

Xu Jiujiu looked at the direction they were going, then gently pulled Shu Yan's hand and asked softly:

"Ayan, what should we do next? Should we just wait and see?"

Shu Yan shook his head and then said:
"No hurry. There are four level nine soul masters and more than ten level eight soul masters guarding us. Although the evil soul master has the advantage in soul power, he still has to think twice before taking action. But he still dares to follow us so closely. Either he is extremely confident in his own strength, or he has other helpers lurking outside the city."

"The collusion between the Sun-Moon Empire and the evil soul master is a foregone conclusion. The existence of the Holy Spirit Church is a sharp blade that makes the continent tremble. If we want to gain the greatest benefit from it, then they are destined to have a hard time. What's more, even if we don't take action tonight, there is an old senior who will not sit idly by."

As he spoke, Shu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he felt the fluctuations coming from afar. The Holy Spirit Church and the Sun Moon Empire have a cooperative relationship, but the temptation of the evil god's blood to the evil soul masters is unimaginable. The reason why Master Mingde was willing to spend a huge amount of money to buy it was more for his grandson. When it comes to matters related to gods, everyone is selfish and greedy. No one will give such a good thing to others for no reason. In this case, the evil soul masters don't steal or rob. Do you expect them to participate in the auction or go to Master Mingde to borrow it?

What's more, in order not to disrupt the current balance and cooperation between the two major forces, even if they want to take action, they will not wait until they enter the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire. By then, it is not known whether there will be other support personnel in Mingde Hall, not to mention that if some clues are left behind and tracked down, it will not be easy to solve the problem. And it is not certain that they can intercept the goods in Xingluo. Even if the leader of Mingde Hall is desperate, so many forces on the mainland are eyeing this thing. As long as the Holy Spirit Church refuses to admit it, what else can he do?
"Come on, I'll take you over to see what's going on."

Shu Yan used the power of space to wrap everyone up, and then the group suddenly disappeared on the city wall.

……

Hundreds of miles away.

As more than a dozen figures quickly crossed the sky, the two middle-aged men in the lead had blue light flashing in their eyes. This was a ninth-level reconnaissance soul guide. In order to safely send the evil god's blood back to Mingde Hall, the hall master had given a death order, otherwise he would not have sent out four ninth-level soul guides at once to escort it. The reason was that he was worried about any accidents along the way.

Just as the group was about to fly over a small mountain range, countless purple light blades suddenly rushed towards them from below through the dense vegetation. Then, everyone felt a sharp pain in their brains. The three eighth-level soul masters with the worst cultivation levels wailed, and then lost consciousness and fell downwards. The purple light blades easily penetrated the protective soul guides on the three eighth-level soul masters, and then ended the lives of the three people.

Before the others could react from the severe pain in their sea of ​​​​spirituality, another dark blade light came at a high speed from the air not far away, but this time the attack was blocked by a ninth-level soul master who had regained consciousness, and no casualties were caused.

The smoke and dust were slowly blown away by the evening breeze, revealing a hunchbacked figure in a black robe. Then, purple-black light and shadow surged behind the black-robed figure. This time, a tall man with a wide hood and an unclear face appeared.

The ninth-level soul master in the lead glanced at the three bodies that had fallen into the forest, and his face quickly darkened. He recognized the black-robed old man among the two men opposite him, and immediately shouted:

"Wu Gu, do you know what you are doing? Is the Holy Spirit Church going to turn against my Mingde Hall?"

The old man in black robe slowly raised his ugly wrinkled face. The corners of his mouth slowly cracked, and it looked as if tiny maggots were crawling in his cloudy and lifeless eyes. This look was really hard to eat.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

"How could that be? My Holy Spirit Church is a model of morality among the sects of the time. We never do such dirty things openly. But in private, I really like the ecstasy brought by devouring the souls of the strong..."
