By the time Electrolux heard this, the veins on his forehead had begun to bulge.
But Huo Yuhao, standing beside him, suddenly spoke in a quiet voice.
"Why did you come looking for us?"
The old man raised an eyebrow. Although there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, he remembered that the two were together.
So he continued bluntly, "The Star Luo Empire has plastered your wanted notices everywhere."
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected the Star Luo Empire to act quite so quickly.
With that, Electrolux was suspected of being an Evil Soul Master, and a Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master acting alone at that.
It was hardly surprising that the Holy Spirit Cult had come to recruit him.
But seeing that Electrolux was about to lose his temper, Huo Yuhao quietly transmitted his voice to him.
"Elder Yi, let's wait and see."
Hearing this, Electrolux forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and continued questioning the old man before him.
"What benefits would I get from joining you?"
"Hahaha, there are far too many to list."
"Switch to cultivating our Holy Cult's cultivation method, and you'll get twice the results with half the effort."
"And our Holy Cult's ultimate goal is to truly allow misunderstood wretches like us to stand openly in the light of day..."
"Besides, once you join our Holy Cult, you can have whatever you want."
The old man spoke at length. By the end, a trace of excitement and longing had entered his eyes, and his words continued to tempt them.
But seeing that Electrolux still seemed silent, the old man was not surprised. Instead, he produced a letter and pushed it toward Electrolux. Wearing a rather unsightly smile, he continued his tempting pitch.
"Think it over. Only here will you be free from discrimination. Oh, and the three empires' attempts to wipe you out aren't the biggest concern. There's also that damned Shrek. The Holy Cult can shield you from them all."
"What's your name?"
"I am Myriad Souls. I've heard about your abilities, and I think we'll have plenty to talk about when the time comes."
After Myriad Souls Douluo finished speaking with a smile, he did not linger. After all, he knew this was not something that could be settled overnight.
After Myriad Souls Douluo left, a cold gleam and killing intent flashed through Electrolux's eyes, then vanished.
For him, the former Holy Necromancer, Calamity of the Undead,
to associate with a mere lich of a slightly higher rank,
and even be taken for one of the same kind-had Huo Yuhao not been there, Electrolux's temperament would have driven him to strike already.
Huo Yuhao casually opened the letter. Inside was an address.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table.
The Holy Spirit Cult was indeed thoroughly wicked, but it could not be denied that some of its members were pitiable. After all, a certain beast-milk lover whose Martial Soul was a rather ugly dark crow was one of them.
Now that he'd had his fun, although he could use the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation to disguise his appearance, and Electrolux might be able to do so too,
they might still find it difficult to be accepted.
But even if they joined the Holy Spirit Cult, Electrolux's current strength might not be enough to guarantee his safety.
If he were thrown into the Holy Son training program, he would be nothing more than a test subject.
He naturally would not consider it.
Ah, Electrolux's eyes. Huo Yuhao fell silent, thinking the other man was tempted, and hurriedly offered a quiet reminder.
"Yuhao, people like them probably stop at nothing."
"It's dangerous to associate with them."
Huo Yuhao was not surprised to hear this. After all, Electrolux, the Calamity of the Undead, summoned the dead, but while he killed, he did not torment the living.
The Holy Spirit Cult was just the opposite...
"Then forget it?"
As Huo Yuhao spoke, Electrolux pondered briefly before saying in a deep voice, "I want to turn their scheme against them, Yuhao. You can stay here..."
Hearing Electrolux's plan, Huo Yuhao realized that he intended to take action.
For someone like Electrolux to want to kill Myriad Souls Douluo, a man who toyed with and even disdained souls, was only natural.
But that also meant making an enemy of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Still, on closer thought, they had already come knocking.
If they received no response, they would think they still had a chance and keep pestering them.
That would be even more troublesome.
As for the future, Huo Yuhao was not worried. As Electrolux's strength was released, dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult would not be a problem.
"Elder Yi, since you've already made your decision, let me lend you a hand."
"Thank you."
Electrolux nodded slightly. He knew he was creating an unnecessary complication, but his nature meant he could not tolerate such behavior.
Thus, the two briefly left Heaven Dou City and came to a mountain range on its border with the Sun Moon Empire.
There, they met Myriad Souls Douluo again.
The corners of Myriad Souls Douluo's mouth lifted slightly, and he praised Electrolux in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, that was a wise decision."
"How should I address you? And what exactly is your strength?"
At this, Electrolux merely released a portion of the spiritual power within his divine sense, bringing a terrifying pressure to bear.
Myriad Souls Douluo instinctively drew a sharp breath and murmured,
"Super Douluo!?"
"Your Majesty, you truly kept your abilities hidden. If you don't mind, I'll take you to our Holy Cult's branch to rest for a while. I'll notify the vice cult leader to come and pay his respects to you in person."
Myriad Souls Douluo even bowed slightly, a fawning smile on his face.
Electrolux, however, kept a cold expression throughout and nodded slightly.
When Myriad Souls Douluo's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, he instinctively said in a quiet voice, "And this is..."
"I am Electrolux. He is my disciple. You needn't concern yourself with him."
Electrolux cut Myriad Souls Douluo off.
Myriad Souls Douluo had no particular suspicions. After all, how could a Super Douluo Evil Soul Master take an ordinary Soul Master as a disciple?
Thus, Myriad Souls Douluo led them to a stone door before the towering mountain. After pushing it open, they continued downward until they came to an underground altar resembling a palace.
This was the Holy Spirit Cult's main branch in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Though somewhat smaller than the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters, it still occupied a vast area overall.
As soon as they arrived, Electrolux's body began to tremble slightly.
Restrained undead were everywhere, wailing in agony, seemingly imprisoned within some kind of special artifact.
Besides Soul Masters and ordinary people, Electrolux even saw the resentful souls of children only a few years old, and of babies born only recently.
Inside a special cultivation vessel, these blood-red infant souls, filled with resentment, fought and roared incessantly like wild beasts.
Myriad Souls Douluo thought Electrolux was excited and continued his introduction with an eager, even somewhat contemptuous air.
"Your Majesty, this is our Holy Cult's latest research. The souls of newborn children are the purest, and their resentment is also the best after transformation. If you're interested..."
Before Myriad Souls Douluo could finish, Electrolux finally could bear it no longer.
"The path of the undead is to guide the dead to rest, not to imprison souls and subject them to endless torture. You are nothing but a pack of despicable wretches who prey on the suffering of the dead! You make countless wronged souls wail day and night, and you have even laid hands on children. Such sins are unforgivable!"
