Chapter 233 Taking in
Nana stared somewhat dazedly at the Great Holy Spirit and the Two Holy Spirits before her.
When Nana learned that Huo Yuhao was going to wipe out the branch alone, she was quite flustered. After all, Ji Juechen alone had made Huo Yuhao so embarrassed, not to mention that there were two Soul Emperors in the Holy Spirit Sect.
However, since part of her soul was still in Huo Yuhao's hands, Nana had no choice but to obediently lead the way after her reminders went unanswered.
When the two Holy Spirits spoke of the scent of a living person, Nana felt her heart leap into her throat, her soul power surging wildly within her, ready to strike at any moment.
However, what followed was not the intense battle that had been expected; to be precise, the battle was over before it even began.
Huo Yuhao, who had been hiding nearby, suddenly revealed himself, his bright eyes gleaming with an icy blue light.
And then... that was it...
All that remained were Huo Yuhao, panting against the wall, the two Holy Spirits frozen in place, and Nana, who looked completely bewildered.
After a short while, Huo Yuhao walked up to the two stiff Holy Spirit Cult Soul Emperors and tapped them lightly with his index finger, but it was as if he were tapping on frozen steel.
"The power is not bad."
Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. It was enough to render two Soul Emperors powerless, and it seemed that it could be controlled for quite a long time. The power of this self-fusion martial soul technique was indeed beyond expectations.
However, Huo Yuhao estimated that the effect of freezing the soul was not insurmountable. For example, when he experimented with the Soft Bone Rabbits, if Huo Yuhao did not help to thaw them, the Soft Bone Rabbits would not be freed even if their physical bodies were frozen to death.
Huo Yuhao estimated that he could freeze these two Holy Spirits for at least half an hour, and he could clearly feel their souls struggling. However, the freezing effect, equivalent to the ultimate ice level, was too strong, which made the struggle seem ineffective.
The next moment, a chainsaw appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand. With the sound of the chainsaw spinning at high speed, blood-red ice mist kept appearing. The two Soul Emperors were actually broken into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao silently recited the incantation, activating purification to wear down the physical bodies, and with the purification power to cleanse the souls, the two Holy Spirit Cult Soul Emperors were practically dead.
With the light of purification activated, Huo Yuhao used his mental detection to tap the wall a few times and found the hidden place where the Holy Spirit Cult imprisoned souls. He then purified the resentment on the souls inside.
With the dangerous situation over, it was time to take stock of the spoils. After sending Nana and the eight other family members who had also been held hostage by the Holy Spirit Cult to see their loved ones one last time, Huo Yuhao began to plunder the resources of this Holy Spirit Cult branch.
Seeing that there were two Soul Emperors, Huo Yuhao was hoping to find something useful, but after opening the storage ring, he found that the only valuable items inside were some rare metals.
There were some pills, but they didn't seem to have any effect. However, Huo Yuhao could faintly smell a bloody odor in them, and he figured they might be made from human blood or some other random stuff. Huo Yuhao immediately put them aside.
Besides that, what caught Huo Yuhao's attention was a small black flag.
"In some fantasy novels, this would be called... the 'Human Emperor's Flag'?"
According to the original description, once the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is activated, the vengeful spirits contained within will swarm out, possessing the living beings affected by it and transforming them into undead, thus quickly forming an army of the dead.
For Huo Yuhao, who possesses a demiplane of the dead and can summon several undead legions at any time, it is indeed somewhat of a double-edged sword. The only thing that interests Huo Yuhao is how the Myriad Soul Banner continuously sustains so many undead.
Looking at the Myriad Soul Banner emitting black "mysterious energy" in his hand, Huo Yuhao checked it to make sure there were no marks left before storing it in his storage soul tool, intending to study it slowly later when he remembered it.
Before long, nine saints, including Nana, emerged from the secret passage with red eyes, pledging to serve Huo Yuhao as their master, just as in the original story.
So, should we accept them as in the original story?
If we really want to take them in, should we send them to the Tang Sect or Shrek Academy as planned, or...?
Oh well, I'm planning to recruit Nana to help me out anyway, so I might as well recruit the others while I'm at it. I don't need these resources anyway, and there wasn't any betrayal in the original story.
"Open, Gate of the Dead."
Accompanied by an obscure chant, a silver-white gate slowly appeared before Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the nine people kneeling before him, coerced by the Holy Spirit Cult, Huo Yuhao slowly said, "If you are willing to follow me, then step through this door."
The eight kneeling servants looked at each other, none of them making a move for a moment. It was Nana who reacted first. After thanking Huo Yuhao, she stepped into the somewhat eerie Gate of the Dead without hesitation.
Seeing this, the remaining eight holy servants gritted their teeth, followed Nana's footsteps, and disappeared together into the Gate of the Dead.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction.
Although he is not very good in terms of strength and potential, perhaps because he was trained by the Holy Spirit Cult, he is at least good at executing orders.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao himself stepped into the Gate of the Dead and entered the interior of the undead demiplane.
As Nana stepped through the Gate of the Dead, the first thing she saw was a hazy purple light. Looking in the direction from which the purple light came, Nana couldn't help but shrink her pupils.
In the sky hung a strange sun, its entire body black, surrounded by an eerie purple light, making it appear extremely bizarre.
Under the eerie purple sunlight, the undulating ground was bare, devoid of any vegetation, and the earth was covered in black soil, as if stained with ink.
Looking behind them, there was a large door, and it seemed that they had come out of this door.
The next moment, the door behind them flashed with light again, and Huo Yuhao, the one who caused all of this, walked out of the door.
"This is the Demiplane of the Dead, which you can think of as a small space attached to the Douluo Continent. It will also be the place where you will hide and cultivate for the foreseeable future."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao led them to the right.
Then everyone noticed a sizable flat area not far to their right, with some black buildings that appeared to have been built from the ground beneath their feet.
"This cleared area is a safe zone. Further out, it's mostly inhabited by the undead. We advise you not to leave this area lightly."
Huo Yuhao led the group to a small warehouse.
"This is where we store the food; it should be enough to feed you for a long time."
To be honest, these foods were secretly obtained through the Nine Treasures Merchant Guild during the first few days after I arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
After boiling, the food is sealed in cans using the power of extreme ice. Although the taste may be slightly different after thawing, it has the advantage of a long shelf life. With the amount stored in the warehouse, it is enough for these nine people to eat for one or two years.
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao pushed open the door to the titanium-made warehouse that he had taken from Mingde Hall.
"Well……"
Huo Yuhao's movements suddenly froze.
The canned goods that should have been piled up were not there. To be precise, the canned goods were scattered in the warehouse, but the food inside had long since disappeared.
Picking up an empty can, you can still see the torn can with obvious teeth marks, clearly indicating that someone ate it all, food and all, in one go.
"noob--"
