Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 153 Holy Angel Martial Soul, Ambush in Jingyang Mountains (4K)

After saying that, Zhongli Wu pointed to the red-haired, cold-looking young man beside him and introduced him, "This is the fourth elder of my Holy Sect, the Netherworld Douluo. From now on, he will replace Nangong Wan in overseeing the Mingdu branch and taking charge of the Xishui Alliance."

"Youming greets the Second Elder! Please take care of me in the future!"

The Fourth Elder, Netherworld Douluo, rose and bowed to Mo Yuan with utmost respect, but his eyes held a deep fear. It seemed that the experiences of his colleagues, including Nangong Wan, had made him acutely aware of the danger Mo Yuan posed to him.

If it weren't for Zhongli Wu's order, he would never have come to Mingdu to accept this dangerous mission.

"Hmm." Mo Yuan gave a faint "hmm," then glanced at Zhongli Wu and said, "Sect Leader Zhongli, I'm afraid you've come here for more than just this, haven't you?"

“That’s right,” Zhongli Wu said, not surprised that his thoughts had been seen through. “It’s like this: recently, our Holy Sect has been encountering unexpected problems in various missions in the Sun Moon Empire, which has caused considerable losses to the Holy Sect. After investigation, we found that the mastermind behind all this is a Soul Master with a Holy Angel Martial Soul.”

Upon hearing these words, Mo Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, but he said nothing.

At this point, Zhongli Wu's tone turned noticeably cold, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "The Second Elder also knows how powerful the divine attribute is to us evil soul masters. Therefore, although that person is not strong, he can always wipe out many of my Holy Sect members by himself, which is truly despicable. Therefore, in order to eliminate this potential threat, I, the Sect Master, came up with a plan."

"Doesn't that person like to sabotage my Holy Church's plans? Fine! Then I'll let her sabotage them. In a few days, the Holy Church will deliberately spread the news that my Church is holding a large-scale blood sacrifice deep in the Jingyang Mountains. I don't believe she won't come after hearing this news!"

Zhongli Wu's words were filled with killing intent: "As long as she comes, facing a top expert like you, Second Elder, even if her martial soul is the legendary six-winged angel, she will likely only meet a tragic end in the Northwest!"

A flash of pure killing intent appeared in Mo Yuan's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He pretended to be interested and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a Holy Angel Martial Soul in this world. If that's the case, then what Sect Leader Zhongli said is right. This person is indeed a threat to our sect."

"I understand what the sect leader has to say. Leave the ambush in Jingyang Mountains to me. With me in charge, I will make sure that person never returns!"

Sensing the fleeting killing intent emanating from Mo Yuan, Zhong Liwu smiled. Sure enough, although Ye Xuan was not very sociable, he was definitely a genuine evil soul master. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a strong killing intent after hearing about the existence of the Holy Angel Martial Soul.

Zhongli Wu stood up with a satisfied look on his face. "It's good that the Second Elder is willing to help. The plan has been set for a week from now. In addition, the Sixth Elder of my sect, the Abomination Douluo, will assist you to ensure that the plan goes smoothly."

Mo Yuan sneered inwardly. Assist me? More like monitor me, right? However, he didn't show his emotions, but instead nodded in agreement.

"can."

Now that the matter was settled, Zhongli Wu did not linger any longer. He gave Youming Douluo a subtle wink before turning and leaving, disappearing from the conference room.

Looking at Mo Yuan, who was sitting silently in the chair, Youming Douluo rubbed his hands, wanting to say something, but when he thought of the tragic fate of Nangong Wan and the others, he couldn't help but shudder and dared not say anything.

Only after Mo Yuan left the conference room did Youming Douluo breathe a deep sigh of relief. He then summoned the higher-ups of the Xishui Alliance to gather and prepare to take over the organization completely.

……

The next day at noon, as the sun hung high in the sky, several figures stood at the main gate of the Heavenly Soul Empire's Body Sect, gazing at the sky with eager anticipation.

The leader of this group was Huo Yuhao, who was wearing a mask and completely covered up. His eyes were the most excited, after all, Du Busi had led people to the Sun Moon Empire to seize a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo for his own use.

Huo Yuhao's current status in the entire Body Sect is extraordinary, second only to the Title Douluo Elder and the Body Sect Young Master Long Aotian. Regardless of his cultivation level, his talent is indeed worthy of being called a genius.

"Tianmeng, is your guess really correct? Could that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo really be the legendary Snow Empress?" Huo Yuhao asked inwardly, unable to hide his excitement.

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, hearing Huo Yuhao no longer address her as "Brother Tianmeng," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's feelings were somewhat complicated.
"Brother said it was only a possibility. After all, such a big commotion occurred in the far north. If the Snow Emperor was alright, she wouldn't have stayed away. In addition, there was the Heavenly Tribulation. So, brother guessed that the Snow Emperor was either asleep or risking her cultivation to rebuild herself."

"If it's the former, then it's naturally impossible. But if it's the latter, although the chances are slim, there's still a probability. After all, it's rare to see a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and it's even rarer to see a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has been rebuilt. The probability of two 100,000-year-old soul beasts that have been rebuilt appearing in a short period of time is too small."

Huo Yuhao's eyes burned with fervor, his hands clenched tightly. "So that embryo is very likely the Snow Empress! That's great! As long as we possess the Snow Empress, even without risking becoming a Three-Life Martial Soul user, I can obtain unimaginable hundreds of thousands of years of Soul Rings and Soul Bones! At that time, my only weakness in cultivation level will be rapidly overcome! Revenge against Shrek Academy will be just around the corner!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's appearance, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately sensed something was wrong. This kid had clearly turned 'probability' into 'certainty'.

If its guess is correct and the poison fails to kill, then everyone will be happy. But if it guesses wrong or the poison fails to kill, what will Huo Yuhao think given his current temperament...?

The more Tianmeng Ice Silkworm thought about it, the more disheartened she became. She wanted to advise Huo Yuhao not to have too much hope, but just as she was about to speak, she heard Huo Yuhao say excitedly, "The sect leader and the others are back!"

"Wow! So fast!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cursed inwardly, then immediately turned her gaze to the sky.

Several small black dots suddenly appeared in the clouds floating in the sky, then rapidly enlarged, arriving at the gate of the Body Sect in just a few breaths.

The newcomers were none other than the group of Poison Undying who had gone to the Sun Moon Empire to seize the soul beast embryos.

Contrary to Huo Yuhao's expectations, Du Busi and the others looked rather disheveled, with no trace of joy on their faces after their success.

Huo Yuhao's smile froze, a bad guess surfaced in his mind, but he was still determined to hear the result with his own ears.

Seemingly sensing Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Du Busi, who had just landed, sighed and shook his head slightly, saying softly, "Alas, the 100,000-year-old embryo is indeed real, and it comes from the far north. It should be very compatible with your second martial soul."

"Unfortunately, just when we were about to succeed, a group of evil soul masters suddenly appeared and interfered. The leader was Ye Xuan, the End Douluo who was at the same level as me. In addition, there were strong people from the Sun Moon Empire interfering with us. In the end, we had no choice but to let Ye Xuan succeed."

With a deafening roar, a thunderclap exploded in Huo Yuhao's mind, leaving him stunned and frozen in place. He kept repeating the words "mistake," "the final Douluo Ye Xuan," and "the far north" in his mind.

After hearing Du Busi's story, Tianmeng Bingcan felt like dying. This was really bad. The good news was that the embryo was very likely Xue Di. The bad news was that Du Busi had failed and the embryo had been taken by someone else, and the person who succeeded was their nemesis, Ye Xuan.

If she could, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would love to go back in time and slap herself twice across the face for her foul mouth! Now look what's happened! With Huo Yuhao's current temperament, it's no wonder he holds a grudge against you and Du Busi!

Seeing Huo Yuhao's state, Du Busi assumed he was just distracted because his hopes had been dashed once again. After offering a few words of comfort, he led his men back to the sect.

After all, they had stormed into the capital, not some small, insignificant place. There was virtually no chance of them leaving unscathed, and even he himself had sustained some minor injuries.

"Snow Emperor... Ye Xuan..." Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and whispered these two names, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying.

However, Huo Yuhao's reaction this time was beyond Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expectations. He did not complain or curse that the poison could not kill them. He just lowered his head and silently returned to the sect.

Seeing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sensed something was amiss, but didn't think much of it, assuming that the efforts of Du Busi and the others had made Huo Yuhao somewhat better. However, what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't know was that deep within Huo Yuhao's eyes, hidden by his hair, lurked an extremely intense resentment, directed not only at Du Busi, but also at itself…

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at Shrek Academy, a secret letter bearing the words "urgent" in blood-red ink was delivered day and night by spies to the conference table of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Oh? So it's a letter from Le Xuan. It seems she's discovered something extraordinary in the Sun Moon Empire." Xuanzi glanced at the signature on the letter and then respectfully handed it to Mu En, who was reclining on the deck chair.

Moon now looks increasingly old, his eyes are cloudy and his intense aura of death is mixed in.

After receiving the envelope, Moon perked up slightly, opened the letter, and began to read it carefully. As his gaze moved downwards, his expression grew increasingly serious, his brows furrowed, and even his fingers trembled slightly involuntarily.

Seeing this, Xuanzi immediately sensed something was wrong and secretly wondered what Zhang Lexuan had said to cause Elder Mu to react this way.

The letter contained little information, divided into two parts. The first part described Zhang Lexuan's experiences in Mingdu, while the second part detailed her interactions with Ye Xuan and information about the Holy Spirit Cult.

The names 'Ye Xishui' and 'Long Xiaoyao' pierced Mu En's eyes like sharp swords, causing him to look on with reminiscence.

After a long while, Mu En handed the envelope to Xuan Zi, who was standing to the side, and then slowly closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"Ye Xuan infiltrated the Holy Spirit Cult?! The Sun Moon Empire's royal family has dealings with evil soul masters? Wait! A level 98 cult leader and a level 97 vice cult leader?! How is this possible?!" Xuanzi's body trembled violently, his eyes wide with disbelief and astonishment.

In just a few words, his worldview was completely overturned. He never imagined that there was an evil soul master organization that had developed to this extent in the dark!

“Keep reading,” Moon said softly with his eyes closed, his tone devoid of any emotion.

"Yes." Xuanzi continued reading with a solemn expression. He quickly finished reading all the content. This time, he didn't say anything, but the broken floor beneath his feet was enough to show his turbulent emotions.

The two remained silent for a long time before Xuanzi finally broke down, speaking with a worried expression, "Elder Mu, those two have both joined the Holy Spirit Cult. What do you think we should do? Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire is also involved... this..."

Moon slowly opened his eyes, the look of reminiscence gone, replaced by endless melancholy. "Go and deliver this message to the other three great empires."

"Yes!" Xuanzi was about to leave when Mu En called him back. He then went to Mu En's side and listened attentively. After a while, Xuanzi left the Sea God Pavilion with a look of astonishment on his face.

Once again, only Mu En remained in the empty Sea God Pavilion. He gazed at the sunlight streaming in through the window, then pulled the blanket over himself and lay there quietly like an old man, reminiscing about his long and eventful life.

……

The top floor of the Qingquan Grand Hotel, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Mo Yuan stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city that had just awakened. Seven days had passed since Zhongli Wu's last visit, which meant that today was the agreed-upon day to ambush and kill the Holy Angel Martial Soul.

The Netherworld Douluo slowed his pace and silently entered the meeting room, standing respectfully beside Mo Yuan. "Second Elder, the Sixth Elder, the Hateful Douluo, has arrived."

"Well, let him in."

"Yes!" Netherworld Douluo replied respectfully. Then, the floor of the conference room began to tremble slightly, accompanied by muffled footsteps.

Mo Yuan turned his head and his brows twitched slightly. He saw a humanoid creature walking out of the conference room.

The man exuded a strong aura of death. He was extremely obese, like a mountain of flesh, with a distorted and disgusting face. His body was covered with dense stitches, as if he had been sewn together from a mass of rotten flesh.

Is this definitely the Abomination Douluo, and not David Day?

Mo Yuan frowned slightly, somewhat wanting to kill this evil soul master right now.

"Greetings, Second Elder!" Although the Abomination Douluo doesn't look like a human, he can still speak human language.

Mo Yuan didn't want to pay much attention to hatred. He didn't blame you for being ugly, but it was your fault for disgusting people.

"Without further ado, let's set off for Jingyang Mountain Range now."

After saying that, Mo Yuan disappeared from the meeting room in an instant. Seeing this, Youming Douluo felt a sense of relief and couldn't help but sigh. Although the Second Elder was a bit ruthless to his subordinates, he was still very dedicated to eliminating his opponents.

Without thinking too much, the Abomination Douluo, surrounded by billowing black smoke, immediately followed.

The Jingyang Mountains are a vast mountain range located in the southern part of the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire. Compared to the Blue Silver Emperor Valley, which is home to the Blue Silver Emperor, and the Demon Forest, which is home to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters and the Evil Eye Tyrant, this mountain range sandwiched in between seems rather unremarkable.

At this moment, a group of humans, roughly divided into two groups, were gathering in a rocky valley deep within the Jingyang Mountains.

A black-robed evil spirit master and innocent civilians bound and thrown on the ground.

There were about a hundred evil soul masters, all with cultivation levels around Soul King. Some of them were guarding the civilians to prevent anyone from escaping, while the rest were all surrounding a dark altar stained with blood.

Suddenly, two figures, one thin and one fat, appeared not far from these evil spirit masters. Upon seeing this, all the evil spirit masters immediately knelt down, their expressions respectful and their tone fanatical.

"Honorable Lord, may the Holy Emperor's glory shine upon you!"

The innocent civilians who were surrounded nearby were filled with despair upon seeing the arrival of Mo Yuan and the Abomination Douluo. Not to mention the Abomination Douluo, who was clearly not a good person, they had no chance of escaping from the infamous Ye Xuan alone.

Mo Yuan didn't even glance at these evil soul masters. He simply showed himself and then disappeared again. He casually found a spot nearby, sat down cross-legged, and waited for the arrival of the holy angel.

The same applies to the Abomination Douluo. However, Mo Yuan discovered that, in addition to the Abomination Douluo, there were two other extremely strong evil auras lurking in the shadows.

Is it to ensure everything goes perfectly, or are they here to spy on me?
Mo Yuan thought to himself, but he didn't care what Zhongli Wu thought.

After gazing at the silent, deserted forest in the distance for a while, Mo Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and countless alchemical knowledge surged into his mind...
