Zhou Huan Gets Played

Night fell quietly.

Long Aotian led the way, with Zhou Huan and Vina following closely behind.

In addition, they were accompanied by three Soul Douluo, a dozen Soul Emperor and Soul Sage, and even many younger Disciple of the Body Sect, all of whom were at least Soul Ancestor.

These Disciple were probably the ones who worked with Vina and the others to clear out the outer perimeter.

Zhou Huan finally agreed to Vina's request. After all, it was really hard for him to refuse the Little Soul beast, and besides, it was only about taking care of the outer perimeter and clearing out the miscellaneous enemies, which should be relatively safe.

If even the Soul Ancestor Disciple of the Body Sect dare to come, there's no reason why Zhou Huan wouldn't dare to come. After all, he's a Soul Sage who possesses the First Soul Core!

Although he certainly wouldn't use the power of a Soul Sage, if anything unexpected happened, he could simply run away.

Furthermore, Vina's reward, the Little Soul beast, has already been given to Zhou Huan, and she even gave him a Treasure Bag that can store living things.

Therefore, Zhou Huan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Their destination this time was a small town only fifty miles away from Heaven Dou City.

Around 10 p. m., Zhou Huan and his group finally arrived at the edge of the town.

At this moment, one of the Soul Douluo from the Body Sect began to devise an attack plan.

The plan was actually quite simple: launch a surprise attack.

According to previous intelligence, the number of attackers they sent was twice that of the Evil Soul Master gang, and the highest-ranking member of the Evil Soul Master gang was only a Soul Douluo.

Their main target was an old church in the center of town, which was the headquarters of the Evil Soul Master gang.

The ancient church was naturally attacked by three Soul Douluo leading Soul Emperor and Soul Sage.

As for the Soul Ancestor Disciple of the Body Sect, as well as Vina, Long Aotian, Zhou Huan, and others, they were naturally responsible for besieging and eliminating Evil Soul Master who might exist outside the town.

"Operation begins!"

Under the command of a long-armed Soul Douluo from the Body Sect, everyone returned to their positions!

The Soul Ancestor Disciple scattered and surrounded the entire town.

Meanwhile, the long-armed Soul Douluo led a group of powerful warriors straight towards the ancient church!

Zhou Huan was naturally "lucky" enough to be assigned to be with Long Aotian and Vina, one of the escape routes in the town.

However, this is clearly the best escape route, as there is jungle behind it.

Therefore, it's not without reason that Long Aotian is stationed here.

According to Zhou Huan's estimation, Long Aotian should already be Soul Emperor at this time; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become Soul Sage two years later.

The Soul Emperor of the Body Sect, Long Aotian, is now absolutely no less powerful than an ordinary Soul Sage.

In no time at all, within a minute, the ancient church in the center of the town was filled with shouts of battle!

The entire ancient church was engulfed in flames!

Even Zhou Huan, who was on the outskirts of the town, could clearly see the scene of the raging fire.

Fighting sounds began to emanate from all around the town, indicating that some Soul Ancestor Disciple had encountered rabble.

Zhou Huan and his two companions, who were responsible for lying in wait and intercepting the fleeing Evil Soul Master, had remained relatively quiet.

I don't know if it was because the three Soul Douluo from the Body Sect were too powerful at the ancient church, but no one was able to escape.

With Zhou Huan's Spiritual Power, he was able to detect the situation of the great battle in the ancient church.

At this moment, the three Soul Douluo of the Body Sect —one with arms like a giant ape, one with legs like an elephant, and one with a head like an iron hammer—were ganging up on an Evil Soul Master dressed in black robes and exuding a foul, bloody aura!

It looks like I can kill him in just a few minutes.

Although Evil Soul Master are often quite powerful, usually one of them can defeat several ordinary Soul Master of the same level, it is clear that the Soul Master of the Body Sect are not ordinary.

Even Evil Soul Master would die in a three-on-one attack.

Those Evil Soul Master were also Soul King and Soul Emperor were also ganged up on; they were no match for the people from the Body Sect, whether in terms of cultivation level or numbers.

The battle was basically a one-sided massacre.

Zhou Huan glanced at Vina and said softly, "Your Highness, while I enjoy watching the show and reaping the benefits, isn't this a bit too simplistic?"

Upon hearing this, Vina shook her head and said, "Of course it won't be that easy."

Just as Vina finished speaking, a huge explosion came from the ancient church!

This was followed by a strange laugh, "Hehehe, the Body Sect is truly remarkable!"

At the same time, a powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire ancient church, and even Zhou Huan and his two companions in the distance felt the pressure!

Long Aotian's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Titled Douluo!"

Zhou Huan: "..." Sure enough, I was too naive. Maybe I should just slip away.

Even if the Body Sect has three Soul Douluo, they would most likely still be no match for a Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master.

After glancing at Vina, who remained calm, Zhou Huan decided that he shouldn't leave prematurely; clearly, there were things he didn't know.

After all, Vina and the Body Sect certainly wouldn't tell Zhou Huan all their plans and personnel.

Just as Zhou Huan was thinking this, an even more powerful Soul Master aura suddenly appeared, followed by a huge golden palm crashing down!

With just one slap, he sent that Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master, who had been laughing strangely and intimidating the three Soul Douluo of the Body Sect just a second ago, flying!

Zhou Huan couldn't help but swallow hard; this glowing golden statue was definitely a big shot!

Vina, standing to the side, explained with pride, "This is Uncle Jinpeng, our sect's Super Douluo, titled 'Golden Body'!"

Zhou Huan could only exclaim, "The boss is amazing!"

Then Zhou Huan said, "Princess Vina, you didn't really invite me to the play tonight, did you? And you even brought me a gift to see the play?"

What happened to the promised crackdown on the periphery and catching the remaining fugitives?

Now that even the Super Douluo from the Body Sect have arrived, you're telling me there's still a chance of anyone slipping through the net?

This is not the stronghold of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Sun Moon Empire has not yet reached this place.

This place is within the territory of the Body Sect. It's already a great risk to have a Titled Douluo -level Evil Soul Master here. It's impossible for a Super Douluo- level Evil Soul Master to come as well.

This isn't how the Holy Spirit Cult should send gifts to the Body Sect.

However, Vina readily admitted at this point, "Indeed, I invited you to watch the show."

Zhou Huan: "..." You gave me a gift and invited me to see a show, aren't you afraid of making Long Aotian angry? This is blatant seduction!

While Zhou Huan was still daydreaming, Vina explained seriously, "This group of Evil Soul Master calls themselves the Holy Cult, but we haven't found out their specific origins yet. However, the fact that an Evil Soul Master organization is causing trouble in the Heavenly Soul Empire is not a good sign."

"You Shrek Academy oversees the entire continent; you couldn't possibly be unaware of such an organization. Brother Zhou, the reason I invited you here tonight is to let you see this Evil Soul Master organization with your own eyes, while I want to obtain more information about it."

Zhou Huan: "... Princess Vina, you think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary Outer Court Disciple, not a member of the Shrek Inspection Team. Where would I get information about Evil Soul Master organization for you?"

Upon hearing this, Vina smiled, "So, you know about the Shrek Inspection Team, right? I remember that only people from the Inner Court can have access to the Shrek Inspection Team."

Zhou Huan: "..."

Holy crap, this woman was actually bluffing me?!

I was misled by her words.

She just said Shrek's oversight of the continent, not the Shrek Inspection Team.

I was careless.

Sure enough, Wuji's mother was right: the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people.

Seeing this, Vina smiled smugly, then said seriously, "Brother Vina, although I used a little trick, I had no intention of deceiving you. If you know anything, please don't hesitate to tell me. Vina would be extremely grateful, because the danger of Evil Soul Master is too great, and we must be on guard."

Is that considered cleverness?

You're really smart!

Seven parts truth, three parts falsehood, still maintaining an attitude of honesty.

Sure enough, Zhou Huan realized that she had been too naive.

However, Zhou Huan still answered some of Vina's questions, "Their Holy Cult is called the Holy Spirit Cult, and it originated from the Sun Moon Empire. That's all I know; I only heard it by chance from a certain teacher. Don't tell anyone about it."

Upon hearing this, Vina frowned slightly. "The Sun Moon Empire? Is it related to the Sun Moon Royal Family? How dare they?"

Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, I've never been to the Sun Moon Empire. But you should be able to capture quite a few live Evil Soul Master tonight, right? Interrogate them and get as much information as you can."

In fact, Zhou Huan knew that she wouldn't get any useful information out of him.

Because their key members are all bound by protective spells; if they utter even half a word about anything important within the Holy Spirit Cult, they will absolutely explode and die.

As for some unimportant nobody, they don't understand the Holy Spirit Cult at all, so they have nothing to say.

After hearing Zhou Huan's words, Vina nodded and said, "It's good that you know their origins. On behalf of the people of Tian Soul, Vina thanks Brother Zhou."

Zhou Huan quickly stopped him, saying, "No, no, no, I didn't do anything, I can't wear this hat."

Seeing this, Vina chuckled lightly and said no more.

By this time, the battle at the ancient church had also ended.

What Zhou Huan saw was that the Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master had already been killed by the Golden Body Douluo.

There's no other way. If a Titled Douluo knows he has no hope of escape and is determined to die in battle, even Super Douluo like Jinpeng would find it difficult to capture him alive.

Instead, the Evil Soul Master Soul Douluo had fought to the death was captured alive.

So, in the end, Zhou Huan came to catch fish tonight but came up empty-handed.

However, Zhou Huan felt that he hadn't lost out. He might have been tricked, but he had already gained enough benefits. Besides, he didn't actually find Princess Vina 'Zhou Huan tricks disgusting.

After all, they did pay me.

That's why Zhou Huan felt that Vina wasn't just clever in a superficial way, but genuinely intelligent.

Before this, Vina might not have known whether Zhou Huan knew anything about the Evil Soul Master organization, but bringing him in meant getting involved with Shrek. Whether it was to extract some information or whatever, it was all beneficial and harmless.

So, Zhou Huan was tricked into watching a good show tonight.

Finally, the Body Sect left some people behind to handle the aftermath. The rest, including Zhou Huan and Vina, returned to Heaven Dou City together.
