Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 163 Oh no, we've been exposed!

Mind control?

Huo Lie's pupils contracted sharply as he considered a possibility.

Immediately, Huo Lie suppressed his shock and calmly asked Emperor Xue Ye, "Your Majesty, are you saying that the two cardinals who attempted to assassinate Tang San today were mind-controlled by someone else?"

"While I can't guarantee it's absolutely true, the possibility is very high."

As I mentioned before, there were also the corpses of two cardinals, one in purple robes and the other in black robes, in the storage soul tools of these two cardinals.

The two bodies had no physical injuries and died from psychopathic methods. The autopsies revealed that both died today.

If nothing unexpected happens, it must be that a powerful expert skilled in mind control infiltrated Heaven Dou City today and, through these two individuals, controlled the two cardinals.

Even when the two cardinals attempted to assassinate Tang San, the powerful expert skilled in mind control might have been nearby.

Emperor Xueye said with a confident expression.

Fire Fierce: "."

He was a master of mind control techniques. The two corpses had died recently, and someone had left his sight for a period of time this morning.

nmmp~, Huo Lie felt that the reason why Tang Hao forcibly demolished the Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple tonight was not as complicated as they imagined, nor was it a conspiracy of the Star Luo Empire. It was simply that someone was petty and wanted to take revenge after being wronged!

Mu Yang: I took my revenge overnight, and you still call me petty?

With mixed feelings, Huo Lie left the Tian Dou Imperial Palace and returned to the Tian Dou Grand Hotel where she was staying.

"Knock knock knock—"

As soon as they returned to the hotel, Huo Lie knocked on Mu Yang's door.

"They're here!"

A voice responded from inside the room, and soon Mu Yang opened the door.

Once inside the room and with the door closed, Huo Lie erected a soul power barrier to isolate the inside from the outside. Then, with a hint of annoyance, he said, "Xiao Yang, tell me, what exactly did you do today?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang was shocked and looked at Huo Lie in surprise.

Seriously? I was so discreet, how could my uncle have noticed? Are Title Douluos really that perceptive?

Mu Yang: Oh no, we've been exposed!

Uh... no, this shouldn't be a problem with eyesight.

If Huo Lie were an outsider, they naturally wouldn't associate him with that.

However, Huo Lie was not an outsider. He knew a thing or two about the Soul-Capturing Technique that he possessed, which could control the minds of others and was effective even against ordinary Seven-Ring Soul Saints.

Considering that Salas sent people to assassinate him yesterday, and that Salas had offended him, and given that Salas had both the motive and the ability, it's not impossible that he was the one who assassinated Tang San, given that the two cardinals of the Heaven Dou Temple were involved.

Shrugging, Mu Yang said somewhat helplessly, "Fine, since you're not an outsider, there's no need to deliberately hide it from me."

"I only intended to teach Salas a lesson, but I never expected things to escalate so much that even the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple was vandalized."

To be honest, Tang Hao directly demolished the Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple, which was truly beyond Mu Yang's expectations.

"It really was you, kid!"

At this moment, Huo Lie felt his head buzzing.

Apart from him and the person involved, Mu Yang, probably no one could have imagined that the reason why Haotian Douluo forcibly demolished the Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple was simply because the Heaven Dou Temple Master Salas sent someone to assassinate a junior at the level of a five-ring Soul King, which led to retaliation.

What's even more outrageous is that this little five-ring Soul King did everything himself, without relying on his elder.

Meeting Mu Yang, a ruthless opponent, was the worst luck Salas could ever have imagined. Not only was he smashed into a pancake, but the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple was also wiped out along with him.

If Salas hadn't died tonight, he probably would have been furious.

After a long while, Huo Lie recovered from his shock and said with a serious face, "You've got some nerve, kid, daring to even set your sights on the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple! Remember, don't let this get out of the loop, or I won't be able to protect you."

Also, don't use your mind-controlling technique on others in front of outsiders.

"Yes, I know."

Mu Yang quickly nodded obediently.

Huo Lie rolled her eyes: "I hope you really do know."

Huo Lie knew that Mu Yang was someone he had raised since childhood. His nephew was precocious and had his own opinions. In addition, he was exceptionally talented and favored by a great being. He was destined to become the most dazzling existence in the world of soul masters on the continent.

But Huo Lie never expected that Mu Yang would make such a big move without making a sound, even scheming against the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Holy Temple and Haotian Douluo. He was truly audacious.

Suddenly, Huo Lie remembered something important and asked, "You know that Tang San is the son of Haotian Douluo?"

"Um... do you think it's possible that anyone who investigates Tang San's background would know he's Tang Hao's son?"

"Hmm? How so?"

Huo Lie was somewhat surprised.

If it weren't for tonight's events, neither Emperor Xueye nor Ning Fengzhi would have known that Tang Hao and Tang San were father and son!

With his hands shrugged, Mu Yang said, "Tang San's father is named Tang Hao! Many people know this, but most of them only think of Tang Hao as a lousy blacksmith, not the renowned Haotian Douluo."

Fire Fierce: "."

Although Mu Yang hadn't sent anyone to investigate Tang San's background, he knew that if someone went to Holy Soul Village in Notting City to inquire and investigate, they would find out that Tang San had a blacksmith father named Tang Hao.

That being said, in the original story, before Tang San revealed his Clear Sky Hammer spirit at the Soul Master Competition, the Spirit Hall was unaware of his identity as Tang Hao's biological son, which was definitely a dereliction of duty.

Take Su Yuntao, who awakened Tang San's martial soul, for example. Didn't he even report it? The Notting City Spirit Hall doesn't report Blue Silver Grass spirit masters with innate full spirit power. Mu Yang doesn't even know how to complain.

Furthermore, Bibi Dong keeps saying she loves Yu Xiaogang, but after finally taking on a personal disciple, why didn't she send someone to properly investigate his background at the beginning? Isn't this love a bit questionable?

As for not knowing at first? They didn't even know the Cinnabar Mole had taken on a personal disciple, so what was the point of loving him?!

Yu Xiaogang: There's no love left, let's destroy it!

As time rewinds slightly, under the cover of night, news of figures leaving Tiandou City overnight and turning the Tiandou Martial Soul Temple into ruins is relayed back to the various factions where the spies are located.

Among these, excluding many forces whose strength is not even ranked, there is the Star Luo Empire, the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus Clan, and of course, the Spirit Hall.

The Heaven Dou Temple was destroyed, and all the Spirit Hall members who were inside the temple died under the Clear Sky Hammer. However, this did not mean that all members of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City were completely wiped out. Among them, there were those who were not inside the temple at the time due to various reasons.

The murder of the Temple Master and the destruction of the Temple were earth-shattering events that naturally had to be reported to the Papal Palace of Wuhun City immediately.
