Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 468 Office Space (8K)

However, now that there are so many more employees at once, can I start a few more tasks that I haven't even begun yet?

For example, now that I've stolen back the Soul-Guided Metal Giant from Mingde Hall, should I open a few more experimental zones in the Undead Demiplane?

Human desires are like an insatiable chasm, and even Huo Yuhao is no exception. He still has a lot of problems to deal with, but he's already planning to put some unfinished projects back on the agenda.

"Anyone else want to quit? If you're sure you want to quit, I can find a way to erase this part of your memory. Working with me will be tiring, and you'll be exposed to many dangerous secrets. As for compensation..."

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao said, "Purge the Holy Spirit Cult is inevitable. Besides, by following me, you may also have the opportunity to kill your enemies in the future."

Huo Yuhao didn't mention any particularly high benefits or treatment, but he did describe the hardships of following him. Rather than causing a mess later on for various reasons, Huo Yuhao hoped to nip the trouble in the bud from the very beginning.

Let us drink from the golden cup together, for the blades of the sword will not spare us.

Huo Yuhao didn't say what his Golden Cup was, but these eight people would certainly benefit from it in the future. Even so, if these eight people were still willing to follow him, it would likely prevent Huo Yuhao from having to ask Bai Ren for help in the future.

After a long silence, a tall man gritted his teeth, stood up, and bowed again: "I am willing to follow you to kill all the evil spirit masters in the world, and I will follow in your footsteps forever until my soul perishes. No matter what happens afterward, I will never regret it."

With this person as an example, the other seven were surprisingly unanimous; none of them chose to back down, and all chose to follow Huo Yuhao.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded secretly. Including Nana, these nine people were his original core team.

Although his current organization seemed to be not much different from the Tang Sect, which was in extreme decline, Huo Yuhao knew very well that with the help of these nine people, he was like a tiger with wings.

With the help of these nine people, most of the burdens on my shoulders can be shared. In addition, I am finally qualified to build my own intelligence network.

If each of these nine people develops ten relatively trustworthy subordinates, Huo Yuhao can control as many as ninety people, the significance of which is self-evident.

A hero needs three helpers, and a fence needs three posts.

With these nine people as the initial backbone of the Soul Hall, Huo Yuhao was able to truly put the Soul Hall on the right track. They were able to gather intelligence for Huo Yuhao, acquire wealth, share the pressure, and help Huo Yuhao express his attitude in many matters.

Before this, his and Nana's Soul Hall was at best a hobby organization, similar to the Tang Sect which only had Bei Bei and Tang Ya before. It sounded impressive, but it had nothing.

However, the current Soul Palace has five Soul Masters and five Soul Kings, making it a step above even the weakest sects on the continent.

Seeing that all eight people spoke up, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction.

If someone does choose to leave, that person will have to undergo a very painful process of having their memories erased—and there is also the possibility of death.

Huo Yuhao couldn't allow someone who might leak secrets at any time to roam freely outside, and besides, his memory erasure technique wasn't yet very proficient.

"In that case, let's sign this contract."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and eight neatly arranged soul contracts flew to the eight people, condensing into easily understandable contract forms.

Seeing their somewhat bewildered expressions, Nana kindly reminded them, "This is a soul contract. After signing it, you will feel a connection with the Temple Master on a soul level."

Everyone did as instructed.

After signing the soul contract and feeling the faint connection between their souls, they truly realized that Huo Yuhao's words were absolutely true.

They all showed joy on their faces and bowed again in Huo Yuhao's direction: "Thank you, Palace Master."

Huo Yuhao rescued the souls of their family members, which was equivalent to liberating them from the sea of ​​suffering of the Holy Spirit Cult. Now he has shown them a bright path. It is easy to imagine how grateful they are, given their tragic experiences.

"Nana."

Huo Yuhao called out.

"Your subordinate is here."

Nana quickly responded.

"I'll help you purchase some building materials later so that you'll have a fixed place to live in the undead demiplane. You can take them inside to familiarize them with their future work environment. As for each person's responsibilities, I'll tell them later."

"Don't worry about food and water," Huo Yuhao said, taking out a storage ring and handing it to Nana. "The food and water in here will be enough for you for a while."

"The Soul Hall will be divided into several different functional departments. In addition to checking the progress of various projects for me, there will be a special department for researching new soul tool paths, a department to investigate various rumors on the continent for me, and a department to make money for the Soul Hall."

"You can use this time to ask them which department they prefer, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Nana responded loudly immediately. The sadness on her face had lessened, and her pretty face had gained a glow full of new life.

From today onwards, everything will be a brand new beginning for her!

She had already packed all her personal belongings in advance into her personal soul tool, so no matter how things turned out today, she would never be able to return to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Unless she wants to die.

"What are you still standing there for? Behind this door is your office space for a long time to come. The eight of you will be the initial ministers and deputy ministers of various departments in our Soul Hall."

Huo Yuhao looked at the eight people who were dumbfounded and asked with some confusion.

The Minister of the Soul Hall also has this rather eerie-looking Gate of the Dead.

The eight people looked at each other, then swallowed hard and strode inside.

Seeing that all eight people had entered the Gate of the Dead, Huo Yuhao turned around and closed the Gate of the Dead, cleaned up the traces at the scene, removed any clues that might expose his identity, and then threw out a black token engraved with the image of the Ghost Crying Hall.

After finishing all that, Huo Yuhao took out various cosmetics and, with the help of his mimicry soul skill, dressed himself up as Nana. He then packed a large amount of various living supplies, building materials, furniture, and other items and threw them all into the undead demiplane.
