Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 432 Unexpected Gain (To be released at 8 PM)

Huo Yuhao simply shook his head in response to the God of Arrogance's thanks.

"You can have the God of Destruction, but you can't take the rest of them, especially Tang San; I'm going to kill him."

Before the other party could even finish speaking, the god of arrogance began nodding vigorously.

Now that things have come to this, he dares not negotiate any terms; he can only do whatever Huo Yuhao says.

As for whether killing Tang San would have any consequences for the God Realm?

Just kidding, even if the consequences are severe, it's still better than offending this killing god in front of me.

Even the God of Destruction fell into the hands of this guy. He really didn't know who in the God Realm could stop this guy. If he accidentally angered him, there might not be many survivors left in the entire God Realm.

Of course, if they could force Tang San to relinquish control of the God Realm's central hub before taking action, that would be a truly win-win situation.

Thinking this to himself, the God of Arrogance noticed that Huo Yuhao, who was speaking, had suddenly fallen silent. Before he could react, he felt a chill of death creep into his heart.

He subconsciously looked up and saw Huo Yuhao's gloomy face, which was full of frost.

However, judging from the other person's gaze, the chill was not directed at him, but at his companion behind him.

Somewhat confused, he turned around and was stunned to see that Tang San, who should have been held by his companions, had suddenly disappeared.

Where is Tang San?

They were still there when they came over!

Did they escape while everyone's attention was drawn to the blizzard?

But wasn't he unconscious?

And I remember that the God of Destruction volunteered to keep an eye on Tang San, didn't he?

Given Tang San's severely injured body, even if he did wake up during this process, he shouldn't have escaped from the God of Destruction without making a sound, right?

His eyes darted anxiously over his companions, and after confirming that the God of Destruction was also nowhere to be found, his heart leaped into his throat.

Could it be that Tang San had a backup plan and secretly escaped while holding the God of Destruction hostage?

For no apparent reason, seeing his companions looking at each other with blank and helpless expressions, he felt as if he had already foreseen Huo Yuhao going on a killing spree in a fit of rage, and a feeling of despair spread through his mind.

He had just agreed, and then the person disappeared in their hands. How was he supposed to explain this?

Just then, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out again.

"It seems Tang San is no longer here?"

".right."

A bitter expression appeared on the face of the god of arrogance, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"I'm sorry, sir, it seems our companion who was guarding Tang San has encountered an accident. I swear this has nothing to do with us; we really didn't intentionally hide Tang San."

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao did not make things difficult for him, but simply pressed him for more information.

"Is that God of Destruction in charge of watching over Tang San?"

"Yes, our attention wasn't on Tang San just now, so nobody knows what happened."

"I see."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and the oppressive aura he exuded instantly subsided, making everyone feel a sense of lightness.

"Don't worry about it anymore. That God of Destruction is a traitor. He should have already brought Tang San and his son back to the God Realm by now."

".ah?"

The God of Arrogance was stunned for a moment, and did not immediately understand Huo Yuhao's meaning.

"What, was I not clear enough?"

Seeing the other party's astonished expression, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and said, word by word, "The God of Destruction is a traitor among you. He has been Tang San's man from the very beginning."

"But, however..."

The God of Pride seemed to want to say something more, but the sheer volume of information left his mind a complete mess, and he couldn't utter a single coherent sentence.

The God of Destruction, who was promoted from the lower realm by the God of Destruction, was Tang San's man from the very beginning.

Is he a traitor?

He instinctively wanted to deny the idea, but Huo Yuhao's identity left him no choice but to believe it.

After all, he was a god-king from the future. If he said something like that, he must know something.

As for whether Huo Yuhao was deliberately deceiving him?

The god of pride never even considered that possibility.

With the strength to slaughter everyone present with a wave of his hand, why would he need to resort to sowing discord to achieve his goal?

Why don't you just ask for what you want? They can't possibly refuse, can they?

And most importantly, only in this way can we explain why the God of Destruction disappeared silently along with Tang San.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir. I am truly sorry, but if the God of Destruction is indeed a traitor, then we may have to return to the God Realm as soon as possible. Please be patient with us for a while. We will definitely give you an explanation regarding Tang San."

"."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment. He really wanted to say that it was questionable whether they could even defeat Tang San in his heavily injured state, but in order not to undermine the other party's confidence, he nodded without much expectation.

"One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm. I hope to see you bring Tang San to me bound within a year. If you fail to do so, I will personally go to the God Realm to kill him."

Although his body has fully recovered thanks to Ah Yin's reconstructed heart, the energy he consumed will not be restored in the process.

In particular, in order to briefly control the God of Destruction and bring him into this crater, the Sea Princess almost completely drained his spiritual sea.

In addition, since the first generation of the Seven Devils descended to the mortal realm, he has experienced several fierce battles, during which he has hardly rested. At this moment, he is relying entirely on his extraordinary willpower to forcibly suppress the fatigue that makes him want to collapse and sleep.

Clearly, this state was no longer suitable for continuing the pursuit. Considering that his body had not yet fully integrated with the two newly acquired powers, it would be better to stay in the lower realm and rest for a while.

Perfect timing! He can also take this opportunity to condense the Spirit Eye and the Ice Emperor's ninth soul ring.

"Yes."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was so easy to talk to, giving them a day to make up for their mistakes, the God of Arrogance was moved and nodded solemnly.

"We will definitely do our best!"

"Um"

Seeing the other party's expression as if he were making a promise to his superior, Huo Yuhao's expression became somewhat strange. After thinking for a moment, he still whispered a reminder.

"Tang San is not an easy opponent, especially when you're cornered. You'd better be careful."

"Yes, sir. See you next time then."

"Wait a moment."

As the original sin gods prepared to return to the divine realm, Rong Nianbing, who had been observing from the sidelines the whole time, finally spoke up.

"Now that the matter in the lower realm has been resolved, I'll go back with you... Oh, right."

As he spoke, he slightly turned his palm, and two streams of light, one blue and one red, slowly drifted towards Huo Yuhao.

"Here, take this."

"Forehead?"

As if realizing something, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow in surprise and reached out to take it.

As the light faded, two uniquely shaped short blades appeared in his hands.

Among them, the one that was entirely azure and radiated a terrifyingly low temperature was the very same blade that Rong Nianbing had given him in his previous life—the Sigh of the Ice Goddess, the Morning Dew Blade, which was all too familiar to him.

As for the other one, it was not the Ghost Carving Divine Blade like in the previous life, but the Righteous Yang Blade, which symbolized the fire attribute.

Seeing Huo Yuhao looking at her with a surprised expression, Rong Nianbing smiled.

"Just think of it as an investment. During the battle just now, I noticed that the quality of your two-colored sword was a bit lacking. If you use my two divine artifacts as materials to fuse with it, it should be able to improve a lot and help you reach a higher level. That way, it won't be a waste of their potential."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment. Perhaps because he was very familiar with Rong Nianbing's temperament, he didn't refuse anymore after seeing that the other party had put it this way.

Thank you.

Rong Nianbing chuckled and waved her hand, then turned and flew into the sky.

"I'm leaving now. This trip to the mortal realm has truly broadened my horizons. I'll come back to visit you again when I have time."

Upon seeing this, the other Sin Gods also took to the air and followed closely behind, rushing towards the clouds.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but let out a long sigh until the group could no longer be seen.

"It's finally over."

Although it was only about a week, it felt like an eternity to him.

"Quickly help me break these purple crystals apart. Once we've collected them all, we'll go back."

Muttering to himself, Huo Yuhao glanced in the direction of Gu Yuena and then paused for a moment in surprise.

In the palms of the girl's hands, there was a plant crackling with purple lightning, trembling with fear at her presence.

"Thunderous Hell Vine?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised: "Where did you find it?"

"Just now, at the edge of the valley."

Gu Yuena blinked twice: "Seeing that it could actually survive here, I suddenly became interested, so I caught it."

"."

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily, but soon, as if he had made a connection to something, his eyes lit up slightly.

Thunderous Hell Vine, possessing destructive properties.

Isn't this the soul he's been looking for, the one that's suitable for Nan Qiuqiu?

Although the Annihilation and Destruction attributes are somewhat different, they can be considered to have the same origin in some respects, and the latter can even be seen as an upgraded version of the former.

Just like his signing of a soul contract with the water-attribute Demon Emperor, fusing with the Thunderous Hell Vine is definitely the best choice when no more suitable soul beast can be found.

Recalling the information about the Thunderous Hell Vine in his mind, Huo Yuhao had roughly determined that the cultivation level of the one in front of him was around 60,000 years.

Compared to other souls with cultivation levels of hundreds of thousands of years, its cultivation level might be a bit low, but for the Thunderous Hell Vine race, it is absolutely beyond imagination.

After all, these things usually get blasted to pieces by the accumulated lightning within their bodies after 50,000 years, so it's almost impossible for one to live longer than 50,000 years.

The plant before us probably used the destructive power that permeates this valley to cultivate, which allowed it to break through this limitation by sheer luck.

Moreover, despite its low cultivation level, its combat power is absolutely enough to easily defeat many 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Furthermore, with the improvement of the Soul Contract, even becoming a Soul Spirit allows one to continue improving their cultivation. With him, the humanoid source of destruction who absorbed all the power of the Ancestor of the Dragons, Thunderous Hell Vine's advancement to the level of 100,000 years in the future is absolutely a certainty.

Taking the Thunderous Hell Vine from Gu Yuena's hands, and seeing how this soul beast with great potential showed affection because of his destructive power, Huo Yuhao grinned, revealing a seemingly harmless but actually extremely evil smile.

"Would you be interested in becoming a spirit?"
