Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 464 Filial Piety - Gone Astray (Daily 10,000 words)

Nana walked to another street corner. This time, she first put on a white hood, and then a conical hat with a veil hanging down. Then she quickly walked towards the place she had mentioned earlier.

The courtyard was inconspicuous among the surrounding buildings. Nana raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, knocking five times in total, three long and two short.

The door quietly opened a crack, and Nana slipped through, leading Huo Yuhao and a group of liches inside.

The person who opened the door was a young man dressed entirely in black, also wearing a straw hat.

The courtyard isn't large, but it's filled with various tall plants, effectively blocking views from all directions.

"Why are there so many?"

The man in black was clearly taken aback. Sensing the intense aura of death emanating from these people, he was visibly intimidated by Nana.

"A bunch of lecherous hooligans, they should be killed."

Nana's answer was simple and direct.

Inside the room were two men dressed in white. They weren't wearing straw hats, but rather hoods matching their clothing. Upon seeing Nana enter, one of them raised his hand to stop her and made a gesture.

Nana raised her hand, took out a round plaque, and handed it over. It was a completely black plaque with two skulls faintly carved on it.

Another man in white stepped forward and carefully examined Huo Yuhao and the other liches.

His cultivation aura was barely perceptible, he was not breathing, his eyes were lifeless with slightly unfocused pupils, and his face was bloodless; he did not look like a living person at all.

She deliberately lowered her voice and said in a deep voice, "May the Holy Emperor live ten thousand years, and may the Holy Maiden's beauty remain forever."

The two men in white quickly bowed at the same time, repeating her words in low voices, "May the Holy Emperor live ten thousand years, and may the Holy Maiden's beauty last forever."

A man in white said, "Master Quasi-Spirit, both the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit are here. Shall you go down now?"

"Mm." Nana nodded.

The man in white returned the token to her and gestured for her to proceed.

Nana walked into the house. The house was simply furnished, looking like an ordinary home, without any particularly luxurious decorations. Nana walked to a table, raised her hand, and pressed down on it.

Suddenly, the four table legs slowly sank into the ground. With a creaking sound from the mechanism, an opening of about one square meter appeared on the side of the table. A sliver of light shone from inside.

Nana strode in and walked down the straight passageway. The passageway went about five meters deeper, leading to a spacious hall, much larger than the one above, about three hundred square meters. But it felt somewhat eerie and empty.

Two people sat on either side of the innermost table, also dressed in white and wearing hoods, except their white robes had silver decorative patterns on them. They were eating and drinking. An exquisite feast was laid out on the table. Their hoods were pulled up to just above their noses.

Nana quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Holy Servant Number Six pays respects to the Great Holy Spirit and the Two Holy Spirits."

The two Holy Spirits twitched their noses, and only after confirming that the smell was not from a living person, but from the stench of a dead body, did they feel relieved.

"Not bad, you've finally figured it out, bringing back so many puppets at once?"

Nana used the same excuse she had given before to fool the two of them again.

Seated on the left, the more robust-looking Great Holy Spirit spoke in a deep voice: "Today is not the day for you to visit the souls of your parents. Why have you come?"

"In response to the Great Holy Spirit, these seven people were an entire Soul Hunting Squad. They became lustful upon seeing me and possessed a very powerful combined attack technique. Even though I have killed them, they can still unleash some of the combined attack techniques. Therefore, I brought them here, intending to offer them to the Elder."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the two Holy Spirits became wary again. They strode up to a lich, reached out and broke off a mouthful of the lich's old teeth. Seeing that the lich still looked blank, they were relieved.

"Haha, it's rare to see someone so filial. In that case, let me witness this combined attack technique."

The two Holy Spirits laughed loudly. The Great Holy Spirit saw that the two Holy Spirits had broken out the teeth of one of the corpses, and the corpse did not react at all. He watched them do this with some curiosity.

Nana waved her hand, and six liches stepped forward, surrounding the two Holy Spirits. The two Holy Spirits, still intrigued, remarked, "Hmm, interesting, quite proper!"

The next moment, the six liches simultaneously pulled out a staff, and various materials flew out from their empty skeletal chest cavities, connecting to form a gray six-pointed star. They began chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

"δελμ, δελμ, ρσβλμ!"

not good!

The two Holy Spirits' expressions changed drastically; the contemptuous smiles on their faces stiffened and twisted.

Six spirit rings suddenly appeared on his body, instantly turning into black flames that enveloped his body.

Within the black flames, the clothes on the Second Holy Spirit shattered simultaneously, and his height suddenly increased dramatically. His flesh and skin rapidly disappeared, and green soul fire emanated from his eyes, about to transform into a gigantic black skeleton.

The Great Holy Spirit also noticed that something unexpected had happened. Six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—appeared on his body. He smashed his wine cup and leaped up, attempting to help his brother.

But it was too late. The six liches were still casting spells with their staffs, chanting spells, forming spell arrays, and using materials. If these two holy spirits still had any power to struggle, these liches might as well extinguish their own soul fire.

A thick cloud of gray mist condensed above the black skull, pouring down heavily from its head like mercury. The next moment, the two Holy Spirits let out a miserable scream as their flesh and bones disintegrated, turning into large clumps of life force that were greedily absorbed by the six liches.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

The Great Holy Spirit let out a piercing scream. In just an instant, its brother turned into a ball of energy before it, which was devoured by the monsters. At this moment, the liches' clothes were also open, revealing their true nature as undead beings.

"You, you! Aaaaaaah!"

The Great Holy Spirit had almost completely lost his mind. Even he, one of the Holy Spirit Cult members, exclaimed that the scene before him was like watching a horror movie. It was terrifying. A six-soul Soul Emperor evil soul master could fight Soul Saints on equal terms outside.

But in the eyes of these six liches, the opponent was nothing more than a moving mass of blood and flesh. With a mere utterance of their words, the opponent's flesh and bones would disintegrate, and its body would disintegrate into a mass of energy to be greedily devoured.
