Hu Liena's Analysis
Zhou Qing, who was in the Worker-Peasant Council Hall discussing matters such as road maintenance, improvement of the Worker-Peasant Council branches, and rural expansion and communication with Old Jack and the village chiefs of the other villages, twitched his ears and looked towards the gate.
"Smack!"
The door was pushed open, and Uncle Wang's son, panting heavily, ran to the conference table without pausing for a moment.
"What's up?"
Zhou Qing immediately paused the meeting, stood up and handed a glass of water to Uncle Wang's son, saying, "Take your time, there's no rush."
Uncle Wang's son took the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and after catching his breath, shouted, "Qing Ge, Village Chief, something terrible has happened! The farmland is on fire! We put out the fire on the east side, but the fire on the west side has started again! Someone deliberately set the fire!"
Are you serious?
Old Jack was both shocked and furious.
The other village chiefs all stood up, not daring to be careless.
Fire--
It definitely wasn't placed there by someone from their village.
The villagers don't have great wisdom, but they also don't have such "petty cleverness". Having finally managed to get on the good side of Holy Soul Village, how could they possibly dig their own grave?
Having offended Holy Soul Village, he was kicked out of the Worker-Peasant Council and is now back to his old, miserable life.
"Grandpa Village Chief, you've watched me grow up, how could I lie? Everyone in the village has gone to put out the fire!" Uncle Wang's son said anxiously to Zhou Qing, "Qing Ge, what do you think we should do?"
"Get the militia trained by the Worker-Peasant Council to take action, maintain order, and organize people to search for traces."
Zhou Qing immediately gave the order.
After the militiamen took action, Zhou Qing found Romantina and, through her Spiritual Detection, easily located the arsonist.
Huo Zhanji, Yuan En Xing Tian, Chai Jiazhe, Zhang Hengrui, Lu Yixin, Li Jiangqi, and Qi Shi.
These seven Blue Silver Team from another time and space have not returned yet. Instead, they have quietly arrived at Holy Soul Village... The Spirit Hall clearly noticed the problem with these people, but instead of investigating them thoroughly, they let them out.
Oh, right!
The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall also arrived at Holy Soul Village—
After discussing the establishment of the Martial Soul Hall with the Town Chief of Abyss Town, Bibi Dong rushed back to Spirit City and ordered Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue to go to Nuoding City for "training".
After the Nuoding Academy won the Continental Elite Tournament, in addition to spies from various forces, there were also a large number of Commoner Soul Master.
In other words, all the Soul Master who came to Nuoding City and the surrounding area were, on the surface, Commoner Soul Master with no identity or background.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were among them.
Their primary goal was to find a way to complete the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement through Romantina.
The second objective was to understand the changes that had occurred in the area around Nuoding City and Holy Soul Village, and to learn from any lessons that could be learned.
The rest of Zhou Qing's team didn't recognize these three people, but Zhou Qing himself did. After all, these three guys didn't even use aliases.
However, even if they used aliases, as long as the three Martial Soul — Demonic Fox, Moon Blade, and Flame Lord— could not be hidden, Zhou Qing would still be able to recognize their identities.
The reason these three people were chosen is because Huo Zhanji and his group now represent the Spirit Hall. After arresting them, it is natural to let the parties involved know the relevant information.
Thus, upon arriving at Holy Soul Village, these three members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, Romantina Zhou Qing, also joined the team tasked with capturing the arsonist.
Moreover, although Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan are backed by the Spirit Hall, the three of them also have chivalrous hearts. Knowing that someone had set fire to the rice fields, they were all indignant and wanted to bring the mastermind to justice.
"Nana, who do you think started the fire?"
Arriving at the rice paddy where the villagers had already extinguished the fire, Yan grabbed a handful of wood ash, feeling the lingering warmth on it. He then looked at the footprints on the paddy ridge and frowned. "Finding the culprit under these circumstances won't be easy."
"He might be an undercover agent from another force."
Hu Liena guessed, "The Nuoding Team displayed great power in the Continental Elite Tournament, Battle Soul Douluo in the Preliminary Competition and achieving a crushing victory in the Finals. There are many people who want to obtain their powerful secrets, and even more who want to know what other trump cards they have."
The theories of Secondary Refinement of Soul Ring and the Qi Field Power have been exposed to the outside world, but having only theories is not enough to directly become stronger.
Needless to say—
Without the assistance of Romantina, a Soul Master whose Martial Soul is the brain, even her teacher would have found it difficult to complete the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement.
The latter···
Even more amazing!
Theoretically, it will still be sold by the "book," at 2 billion Gold Soul Coin per book.
Those who bought the theory spent two billion, so why would they easily let others see it?
For the reasons mentioned above, many people want to directly explore the other secrets behind Zhou Qing and his group's great power, as well as their trump cards.
Nowadays, various forces have placed their people in Nuoding City, Holy Soul Village, and the surrounding areas, as well as in all the villages, towns, and cities along the way to Vast Sea City.
In just half a month, according to Hu Liena, the forces she knew about included the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, the Two Great Empires, the various kingdoms and duchies, as well as their Spirit Hall.
Of course, those who came were not direct descendants of the major families and sects who possessed Martial Soul, but rather outer disciples, branch disciples, and assassins.
To put it simply, the three of them not only need to find a way to gain the trust of Zhou Qing, Tang San, and others, but also need to do everything they can to expose the spies and undercover agents from other forces.
In this way, they can not only gain more trust, but also exclude competitors, which is a win-win situation.
And people from other factions must think the same way!
"Nana, according to you, is it that other forces are trying to kick out one or more other forces, so they're creating chaos?" Xie Yue pondered. "Are they trying to play the victim?"
"Just wait and see. Since they dared to make a move, they will definitely be exposed later."
Hu Liena was full of confidence. "We will hold back for now and try to determine how many of the Soul Master who have come to this area are spies or undercover agents. If they are spies or undercover agents, we will also need to determine which side they come from, collect evidence, and kick them out of the game."
"As expected of Nana, she's so smart!"
Yan's eyes were full of love, and he couldn't help but praise her.
Unfortunately, Hu Liena didn't feel anything for Yan, and simply said, "Alright, let's go with the others to search for clues. It would be even better if we could catch the arsonist."
However.
As soon as the three men began to move, villagers running past them shouted excitedly:
"The arsonist has been caught! He's Soul Master!"
"Miss Romantina is truly amazing!"
"That's Zhou Qing's wife!"
"I heard that there was more than one arsonist, and accomplices..."
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan exchanged bewildered glances and hurriedly followed.
