Huo Yuhao from The Peerless Tang Sect is incredibly talented.
Chapter 53: The author's naming skills are terrible .
Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Heaven Dou City, Nana came to see Huo Yuhao. "Sit down."
Huo Yuhao's voice was very soft, exactly the same as the gentle young man's voice that Logos imitated, but with something indescribable. It wasn't oppressive, but rather an extremely natural, as if the world itself should operate in this way.
And when Nana saw it, she had only one thought: "So handsome."
Logos's disguise only used light and shadow technology, and it was only during public speeches that he was able to fake Huo Yuhao's amazing charm with the help of his super charm.
The chosen one of destiny in the Douluo Continent era, a unique being born of an era, the owner of the Star Voice, the planner of Douluo Continent version updates, and the only current planner of Douluo Continent.
As for Tang San, Huo Yuhao told him a little story outside the Douluo Universe, so he has no time for Douluo Continent matters right now and is in jail.
Nana sat down opposite him, her back straight, her hands neatly placed on her knees.
Huo Yuhao picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea. Huo Yuhao also took a sip of tea and put down the cup.
"Nana was born into a noble family in the Sun Moon Empire. Her father was a hereditary baron, and her mother was a Soul Master with the 'Ghost' martial soul. When Nana was six, her mother was discovered and forcibly controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult while hunting soul beasts, and forced to serve them. At the age of twelve, under the control of the Holy Spirit Cult, her mother killed her father with her own hands. After regaining consciousness, she committed suicide out of immense guilt. The souls of her parents were imprisoned by the Holy Spirit Cult."
Nana's teacup trembled slightly. Who opened my household registration box?
Huo Yuhao's tone was as calm as if he were reading out a purchasing list.
"A few days ago, Jing Hongchen, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Academy, dispatched you to Tian Dou City under the guise of extracurricular practice. At the same time, the Holy Spirit Cult also ordered you to come to Tian Dou City. Your mission is to gather intelligence on the city's defenses and investigate the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult's Tian Dou City branch."
Neither her feet nor her body were shown; she knew perfectly well whether she had opened her mouth or not.
This information was obtained by Huo Yuhao through divination using a tortoise shell refined from a 100,000-year-old golden tortoise shell. As for the backlash from Heaven, the Chosen One was not afraid at all, and the consciousness of the Douluo Continent did not bring any disaster upon him.
The consciousness of the Douluo Continent world: After so many years, it's finally something to give back to the world. A little bit of information is not worth it.
"This concludes your entire file. Is there anything that needs to be added or corrected?"
Nana's breathing paused for a moment. But she quickly made a move.
"There's nothing to correct." Her voice trembled slightly, but every word was spoken with great force. "It's all true."
Nana left the low table and knelt down on the open ground next to it.
Na drifted through half her life without ever encountering a wise ruler.
"Lord of the City." Her voice came from the ground with a muffled tone, slightly buzzing because her forehead was pressed against the ground.
"Lord Logos said that the Body Sect doesn't ask me where I come from or what I did in the past. I don't know if I'm worthy of being a member of the Body Sect, but from the moment I received that cultivation technique crystal tablet, I've already considered myself a member of the Body Sect."
She took a deep breath, her forehead still pressed against the ground.
"I have no home in the Sun Moon Empire. I have no fellow disciples in the Holy Spirit Cult. I have no real teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Academy. My parents are locked in a confinement, and I can't even see their faces. In the past three years, the only place that has given me cultivation techniques, resources, shelter, and told me 'You have an entire sect standing behind you' is Heaven Dou City."
"So, City Lord, I am not defecting to the Body Sect; I am returning to the Body Sect."
Her voice finally began to tremble violently.
"It's just... I got back a little late."
"Not bad, very conscientious." Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction.
If it were Poison Undying here, after learning about Nana's background, he would have led a group to raid the Holy Spirit Cult and, incidentally, snatch Nana from the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire in Mingdu.
So what if they just kidnapped people? The Body Sect dared to blow up the Sun Moon Empire's research center.
"Stand up and speak."
Nana straightened up, knelt down again, her eyes red but she didn't cry.
Her soul strength is now far greater than before, and her ability to control her emotions is also far superior to what it used to be, but some things cannot be suppressed by control alone.
Huo Yuhao didn't dwell on Nana's declaration of loyalty. It wasn't that he didn't value it, but rather that it wasn't necessary. The Body Sect had never been an organization that relied on verbal pledges of loyalty.
Huo Yuhao's tone remained calm, as if he were saying that the weather was nice today. "Whether you were forced to do something with a knife to your throat or did it voluntarily, I know."
He picked up the teapot and poured Nana another cup of tea.
So this page is turned. No need to mention it again, no need to think about it anymore.
"However," Huo Yuhao put down the teapot, his amber eyes looking at Nana, "the Body Sect cannot ignore the grievances you suffered in the Holy Spirit Cult."
The Holy Spirit Cult of Damn it! Not only does it indiscriminately kill civilians, but it also attacks Lao Tzu's people. It is courting death.
Nana looked up, stunned. She didn't understand.
Huo Yuhao's meaning seems to be that the Body Sect will not pursue the things she was forced to do in the past. However, the Body Sect will take responsibility for the fact that she was coerced by the Holy Spirit Cult, subjected to the restriction, and used as a tool.
"Lord, I..."
"The Body Sect is biased." Huo Yuhao interrupted her, his tone still nonchalant, but every word was like a nail driven into wood.
"Protecting one's own is not just something to say. Once you join the Body Sect, any grievances you suffer are grievances suffered by the Body Sect." Nana opened her mouth, her mind a complete mess.
She instinctively wanted to say, "No need, I'm fine now, I know how to break the seal," but she swallowed those words back down.
As for why Nana was able to break the Holy Spirit's restriction, it was due to the Void Realm Secret Technique.
Because she suddenly realized that Huo Yuhao wasn't asking for her opinion. He was stating a fact.
"What a pity." Huo Yuhao withdrew his finger, picked up his teacup, and his tone carried a hint of regret.
"The Holy Spirit Cult is hard to find. After their branch in Tiandou City was destroyed, all the Holy Spirit Cult's forces within the former Tianhun Empire went underground and are now very well hidden. The Void Realm can cover the entire city of Tiandou City, but outside the city, its coverage is limited."
"Young Master, I am willing to return to the Holy Spirit Cult to rid the people of evil. My parents' souls are also in the cult, and there are many others who I want to save."
Nana spoke up.
"I am not the only one in the Holy Spirit Church who was coerced into joining the church like me."
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised. Comrade Nana's ideological awareness is very high, even higher than that of the God King.
"You finally got out, are you really going back?"
"Yes, my parents' souls are still in their hands."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, raised his right hand, and a silver light shone from the tip of his index finger.
"This is the Void Anchor that I carved myself." Huo Yuhao gently pushed the rune, and it floated towards Nana, landing on her left hand and forming a rune.
"There are two uses. The first use is to escape. No matter where you are, no matter what kind of restriction or formation you are trapped in, as long as you have a trace of consciousness left, activate this rune, and it will directly tear open space and teleport you back to Tiandou City."
"The teleportation process ignores all barriers below the level of gods. There is a 70% chance that barriers above the level of gods can be forcibly broken. If the breakthrough fails, the rune will switch to sending a location signal, and I will come to pick you up personally."
Nana's fingers trembled slightly.
All barriers below the level of God are ignored. Those above the level of God have a 70% chance of breaking through. If the breakthrough fails, Huo Yuhao will personally come to pick them up. This is a life-saving charm.
It wasn't a symbolic token for calling for help in a crisis, but a trump card that could truly bring her back to life from the most desperate situation.
"The second usage is to speak."
"You can contact me directly through this rune. It's not about transmitting information, it's a real-time conversation. No need to activate soul power, no need to chant incantations, no prerequisites—if you want to contact me, I will hear you. I will decide whether to respond and in what way to respond based on the situation."
"Call me, and I will always come."
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, clearly very satisfied with his masterpiece, the Anchor of the Void Realm.
Nana could hear her heart pounding. Not from fear, but from an emotion she couldn't name.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always carried out missions for the Holy Spirit Church alone.
She would die if she was discovered, if she failed her mission, or if she revealed a weakness. No one was ever behind her, no one ever told her that something was wrong and she could escape, and no one ever said they would come to pick her up.
Huo Yuhao stood up, indicating that the meeting was now over.
Nana quickly stood up as well.
"Nana, I have important business to attend to tomorrow. You can wander around the city for now. The day after tomorrow, I will teach you how to disguise yourself, infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult, manipulate power, form cliques, and eliminate dissidents."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao stepped out the door and disappeared in a few breaths.
Nana stood there, staring blankly in that direction, her eyes finally reddening, but she didn't cry. She sniffed hard, straightened her back, and muttered to herself, "I will certainly not fail the young sect leader's trust."
After saying that, he went to his residence and buried himself in his training.
