This Evil Is Worth Fighting, Ye Guyi's Resolve (4k)

Huo Yuhao naturally knew about Xu Tianran's cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult.

This was not merely based on intelligence from the Original Work of his previous life. More importantly, he had the Holy Spirit Cult's "utterly loyal" Second Elder, Nangong Wan, acting as an informant.

This Soul Master Tournament was an open scheme.

Much like in the Original Work, Xu Tianran had proposed allowing sects to participate in the Soul Master Tournament in order to prevent the sect forces from helping the Three Douluo Kingdoms resist the Sun Moon Empire.

His true objective was to join forces with the Holy Spirit Cult after the tournament ended, intercept the members of the competing teams, capture them, and imprison them as hostages, forcing the Three Douluo Kingdoms to hold back for fear of consequences.

The Holy Spirit Cult's demands as an evil organization were actually quite simple: they wanted Evil Soul Masters to step into the light and gain a greater voice, while using the war that would sweep across the continent to further strengthen the Evil Soul Master faction.

That was why they had hit it off so readily with the ambitious Xu Tianran.

However, such an alliance was exceedingly fragile.

Once the birds were gone, the bow would be put away; once the rabbits were dead, the hunting dogs would be cooked.

Just like in the later stages of the Original Work, when Xu Tianran's bid to unify the continent was nearing success, the Holy Spirit Cult would lose its value. That was when he would burn the bridge after crossing it, even going so far as to ambush Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Huo Yuhao could draw one conclusion.

Xu Tianran was not sincerely cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult. He merely wanted to use this opportunity to
