The Moment Yun Ming Had Been Waiting For Finally Arrived!
The Founder of the Spirit Pagoda holds immense importance in the hearts of all those who Spirit Pagoda.
It is like the white moonlight, and even if you have never seen it in person, it is enough to make countless people feel awe and reverence.
Even a seasoned powerhouse like Qiangu Dieting, who has weathered countless storms, couldn't help but feel a sense of longing and admiration when he mentioned Spirit Ice Douluo.
That was not just a Founder, but the beginning of a legend, the original root of the entire Spirit Pagoda.
Therefore, even if Leng Yaozhu didn't say that Huo Yuhao was the bloodline successor of Spirit Ice, just based on the fact that he possessed the two great martial souls, the Spirit Eyes and the Ice Jade Scorpion, he was destined to become the Tower Master!
Sure enough, someone immediately shouted, "I agree that Huo Yuhao should succeed as the Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda!"
As the shout faded, a chorus of voices rose and fell in the conference room, like a lit fuse that quickly spread throughout the entire room.
Even those from the Qiangu Faction expressed their support for Huo Yuhao to succeed as the Tower Master.
After all, if the next Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda is a descendant of the Spirit Ice Douluo, the Spirit Pagoda's prestige on the continent will undoubtedly rise to a new level when this news is announced.
Ultimately, even Qiangu Dieting publicly stated, "I have no objection."
Leng Yaozhu smiled at Huo Yuhao; she knew this would be the outcome.
She immediately stood up, her gaze sweeping across the entire room, and announced in a calm voice, "Unanimously approved. From this day forward, Huo Yuhao is the 198th Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda."
Star Luo Empire, Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
Huo Yuhao's office welcomed a long-awaited guest.
Sunlight streamed in at an angle through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a long, bright band across the dark wooden floor.
Huo Yuhao sat on the sofa, looking at the figure to his side, a slight smile playing on his lips, his tone casual and familiar. "What brings Sister Jiujiu over today?"
Compared to before, Xu Jiujiu's face was clearly tired at this moment, and there was a light blue shadow under her eyes, as if she had not had a proper rest for several days.
There was a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment in her gaze as she looked at Huo Yuhao.
Back in Ming Capital, the Three Douluo Kingdoms unanimously decided to assassinate Xu Tianran.
Huo Yuhao had warned him against acting rashly, but Xu Jiujiu did not heed the advice. In the end, the assassination failed, because it was a trap set by Xu Tianran.
As Huo Yuhao had predicted, the Sun Moon Empire used this as a pretext to formally declare war on the original Three Douluo Kingdoms.
If it weren't for the Soul Tool provided by the Spirit Hall helping them stabilize the battle line at a critical moment, the Star Luo Empire's border defenses would probably have already been torn apart by the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool army, which would have begun to advance deep into the heart of the Star Luo Empire.
After Xu Jiujiu silence, her eyes, which once held the unique pride of the Star Luo Empire Princess, lowered slightly, and she sighed, saying, "This time, we've actually come to ask for help."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious, and his tone became more earnest. "What's going on?"
Xu Jiujiu, his expression turned serious, and a deep worry rose in his tired eyes. "Currently, the borders between the Star Luo Empire and Heavenly Soul Empire and Sun Moon Empire are embroiled in continuous warfare. However, thanks to the support of the Soul Tool from the Spirit Hall, the Sun Moon Empire's frontal offensive has clearly slowed down."
"Unable to achieve a breakthrough on the frontal battlefield, the Sun Moon Empire changed its strategy. They sent powerful warriors to infiltrate various countries and secretly abduct the wives and children of frontline generals, as well as some members of the royal family..."
Throughout the Xu Jiujiu narration, the methods employed by the Sun Moon Empire became increasingly ruthless and unscrupulous.
Unable to break through the defenses on the front lines, they attacked from the rear, using the families of frontline generals as leverage to force those commanders holding the city to waver or even surrender.
The abducted members of the royal family were used as hostages at the negotiating table.
It can only be said that a ruthless and ambitious man like Xu Tianran coveted not only a piece of land, but also the people who originally belonged to the Three Douluo Kingdoms.
If the Sun Moon Empire were to recklessly use Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell to bombard the land, even with the support of the Spirit Hall's Soul Tool, those frontline cities would absolutely not be able to withstand it.
Xu Tianran did not do that, which shows that what he wanted was a country that could be fully taken over, not a scorched wasteland.
After listening to her Xu Jiujiu explanation, Huo Yuhao had a general idea of why she had come.
He asked, "So Princess Jiujiu wants the Spirit Pagoda to help you rescue these people?"
Xu Jiujiu nodded, his tone earnest. "The Spirit Pagoda's Soul Tool are more advanced than those of the Sun Moon Empire. You don't need to do anything; just help us find where these people are hiding. We'll handle the rest."
Before Huo Yuhao Xu Jiujiu respond, a slight vibration suddenly came from his wrist.
He glanced down, his expression shifting slightly, then looked up, his tone tinged with apology. "Sister Jiujiu, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he got up and left the office amidst Xu Jiujiu, slightly surprised gaze.
He walked briskly down the corridor to its end and stopped at the corner.
With a thought, his Soul Power surged forth, forming an invisible soundproof shield around his body.
He then lightly tapped his wrist to connect to the vibrating soul communication.
Although the development of the Spirit Pagoda was affected by the war during this period, Huo Yuhao had already developed the Soul Guidance Communicator, which was already in practical use.
The person contacting him at this moment was Yun Ming, who was lurking in the Holy Spirit Cult.
Huo Yuhao lowered his voice. "Hey, Elder Yun."
He knew that Yun Ming's initiative to contact him must be due to important information related to the Holy Spirit Cult.
A steady voice came from the other end of the communication. "The Holy Yun Ming Holy Spirit Cult has been carrying out a large-scale operation recently, bringing many people who originally belonged to the Three Douluo Kingdoms back to the Sun Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpened slightly upon hearing this, as it corresponded perfectly with what Xu Jiujiu had just mentioned.
He then asked, "Elder Yun, do you know where these people are being held?"
Yun Ming stated definitively, "It's right here at the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters in the Evil Demon Forest. The Sun Moon Empire knew that the original Three Douluo Kingdoms would definitely send people to rescue them, so they specially recalled a large number of Evil Soul Master to their headquarters, laying a huge trap."
Yun Ming paused for a moment, then said with a hint of excitement, "This is also a good opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
This is the real reason Yun Ming contacted Huo Yuhao this time; his purpose in infiltrating the Holy Spirit Cult was to find an opportunity to annihilate it in one fell swoop.
And now the time he's been waiting for has finally arrived!
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment, having already understood Yun Ming's meaning.
He took a slight breath and replied, "Understood, Elder Yun, I will make the arrangements."
After ending the call, he stood at the end of the corridor for a short while, his gaze fixed on the darkening sky in the distance outside the window, before turning around and walking back to his office.
He pushed the door open gently, walked to the sofa and sat down again. Looking into Xu Jiujiu's expectant eyes, he slowly said, "Sister Jiujiu Jiu, I already know where she's being held."
