Chapter 262 The Bold Evil Soul Master
After Xiao Ye No. 1 hung up the communication soul tool, Ye Nanxiao rubbed his temples with a headache.
"You've got plenty of suitors, but in the end, you're the one who'll suffer. However, judging from what Little Leaf No. 1 said, Xu Jiujiu might be even more troublesome than Little Poison Girl," Xue Di laughed.
"It seems best to leave Xiao Ye No. 1 to Xingluo. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll cause even more trouble if I go there," Ye Nanxiao said with a shrug.
"Anyway, my clones are all blocks of ice, they can't do anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light emerged from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows.
Xue Di rolled up the comic book in her hand, put her hands on her hips, and tapped Ye Nanxiao's head repeatedly, scolding, "Have you lost your mind lately? Your clone has memories! Whatever Xu Jiujiu does to your clone, won't the memories all come back to you?"
"Then you'll just obediently walk right into the trap!"
Ye Nanxiao rubbed his head and lowered his head, looking just like a student who had done something wrong and was being scolded by his teacher.
"Then my clone is in danger? Damn it! They're not even sparing my clone!" Ye Nanxiao said through gritted teeth.
Xue Di reached up and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, saying helplessly, "None of the girls you've met are easy to deal with, except for Nan Nan."
"But let's not worry about things that will take a long time to resolve. Your soul power has been honed to its limit. It's time to harvest that little grass."
"Little grass? Eight-cornered ice grass?" Ye Nanxiao blinked and asked, stroking his chin.
The soul power within his body flowed like a vast ocean, continuously circulating throughout the body before surging into the snowflake's soul core.
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye isn't very close to here. It would probably take several days to get there. Hmm, what reason should I give to ask Lao Xuan for leave?" Ye Nanxiao looked up at the ceiling, deep in thought.
"It's not like you make up excuses when you ask for leave." Xue Di rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao, gently tapped Ye Nanxiao's forehead with her jade finger, and turned into a stream of light, returning to Ye Nanxiao's sea of consciousness.
Ye Nanxiao touched his forehead, as if the warmth of Xue Di's fingertips was still there.
A vibration came from his arms. Ye Nanxiao glanced at the still-operating silence bead and took out the communication soul tool.
"Urgent! Muddy sauce, come back immediately!"
Several words appeared on the surface of the communication soul tool.
Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly, waved his hand to put away the silencing bead, a flower of ice on his forehead flashed, and he turned into a snowflake and drifted away.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a snowflake drifted into Huo Yuhao's dormitory.
Snowflakes quickly condensed into Ye Nanxiao's figure, and Ye Nanxiao asked, "What's the urgent matter?"
Huo Yuhao sat on a chair with a serious expression, his body slightly leaning forward, his hands crossed in front of him, and turned to look at a rather dark corner of the dormitory.
"Let me explain. I was the one who approached Huo Yuhao about this!"
From a corner, a soft female voice rang out.
Ye Nanxiao followed Huo Yuhao's gaze.
A tall woman slowly walked out from the corner; it was Nana, who had fought Huo Yuhao earlier.
"I'm not trying to be mean, but why do you have to hide in a corner when there are so many places to hide in the room? Yuhao, you too, how can you let a girl hide in a corner? As for dating, I don't object to your cross-border relationship, and we don't have any unhealthy notions about matching social status. Could it be that the urgent matter you mentioned this time is this? How long has it been going on?" Ye Nanxiao frowned and glanced at Nana's abdomen.
Huo Yuhao, who was in a serious mood, was instantly thrown into disarray. Ye Nanxiao's words were so shocking that Huo Yuhao choked on his own saliva.
"Cough cough cough! Of course not! What are you thinking?" Huo Yuhao glared angrily at Ye Nanxiao.
Nana seemed to have thought of something, and a blush slowly rose on her pretty face.
Ye Nanxiao naturally knew what Nana's purpose was in coming here. He only said this because he felt the atmosphere on Huo Yuhao's side was too oppressive and wanted to lighten the mood.
"I recognize you, Nana, who is known as the Ghost. It seems you have something urgent to say. Would you mind talking here?" Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and threw out four silencing beads.
Nana glanced curiously at the silencing bead, then at the rising silencing barrier, and asked, "What's this? A soundproof soul tool?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded, waved his hand to conjure a small ice table that floated in the air, and took out a tea set to start brewing tea.
We must drink tea to talk about serious matters!
Huo Yuhao exhaled a breath of stale air, his previously tense mood immediately relaxed a lot after Ye Nanxiao disturbed him.
The matter that Nana brought up really required Huo Yuhao to take it seriously.
Huo Yuhao tapped his forehead with one hand, muttering a few obscure and complex incantations.
In an instant, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees.
Immediately afterwards, a small ball of golden light flew out from between Huo Yuhao's eyebrows and landed on Nana.
The moment the golden light touched Nana's body, she shivered violently.
The moment Huo Yuhao returned Nana's soul fragment, Ye Nanxiao also felt a strange mental fluctuation. With his current mental strength, he also felt a sense of fear in his soul.
"Is this the power of Elder Yi? No wonder he is a god-level figure. We can't let Elder Yi sacrifice himself in vain." Ye Nanxiao decided to make time to bring up the plan to visit Haotian Fort.
Old Master Yi's power is enough to shake the entire world. The Snow Empress is already here with me, so Old Master Yi shouldn't disappear from the story, right?
A golden light flashed in Nana's eyes as she sensed the state of her martial soul. Her gaze softened as she looked at Huo Yuhao, and she said, "Thank you. You not only returned my soul fragments, but you also helped me elevate them!"
Huo Yuhao smiled and accepted Nana's thanks.
Two teacups flew to Nana and Huo Yuhao respectively. Ye Nanxiao held the teacups and said with a smile, "Now, you can tell me what the urgent matter is, right? If it's just about returning the soul fragments, then I wouldn't be here."
Huo Yuhao picked up his teacup, took a big gulp, then took a deep breath. His expression turned serious again as he said, "Onii-chan, evil spirit masters have already appeared in Mingdu and started their activities. Before you came, Nana told me that she personally witnessed an evil spirit master entering Mingde Hall!"
"And this evil spirit master is backed by an organization!"
Ye Nanxiao blew on his teacup to cool the hot tea, and said, "I know, it's called the Holy Spirit Cult, right?"
Nana and Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Nanxiao at the same time, with a look of surprise on Nana's face.
"Not only do I know that their organization is called the Holy Spirit Cult, but I also know that the Xishui Alliance, one of the three major forces in the Mingdu underworld, is one of their strongholds." Ye Nanxiao played with his teacup, taking in the surprised expressions of the two men.
"How...how did you know?!" Nana asked in surprise.
Then, with intense hatred flashing in her eyes, Nana gritted her teeth and knelt down before Ye Nanxiao.
"There's no need for you to act like this, young lady. Judging from your appearance, you must have a deep-seated hatred for the Holy Spirit Cult, right? What a coincidence, so do I." Ye Nanxiao waved his hand, conjuring a small ice shield that rested against Nana's knee.
"Yes! I have a blood feud with the Holy Spirit Cult! My parents were brutally murdered by the Holy Spirit Cult, and their souls are still tormented after death!"
"I hate Mingde Hall, I hate this country that harbors evil spirit masters! If you can help me take revenge, Nana is willing to be your slave for the rest of her life!" A tear fell, but Nana's eyes shone with determination.
Huo Yuhao frowned and said, "There's no need for that. We've always been sworn enemies of evil spirit masters. I'm an orphan too, so I understand how you feel. Evil spirit masters are a menace to the world, and we will do our best to help them."
After speaking, Huo Yuhao turned to Ye Nanxiao and asked, "Onii-chan, how should we handle the matter of the evil soul master? Should we report it to the academy first?"
Ye Nanxiao looked at Nana and asked, "How much do you know about the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Nana held the teacup Ye Nanxiao had given her again in both hands, feeling the warmth of the tea, and slowly said, "After my parents were murdered, I was taken in by the Holy Spirit Cult when I was young and joined a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult in Mingdu. My parents' souls are there too!"
"Perhaps it is the Xishui Alliance that you mentioned, Brother Ye. As an outer member, I am always led into the branch by others with my head covered. I can sense that the outer members are at least around the fourth ring level in terms of cultivation, while the branch is managed by an elder with the strength of the seventh ring. Their activities are very secretive."
"I'm afraid their activities are no longer secretive," Ye Nanxiao interrupted Nana.
"You saw evil spirit masters entering Mingde Hall. As one of the important cores of Mingdu, the fact that evil spirit masters can swagger into Mingde Hall can only mean that evil spirit masters have colluded with the royal family, and that they are even crowded with evil spirit masters in the shadows that you cannot see."
Ye Nanxiao poured another cup of tea. "If I'm not mistaken, there are already evil spirit masters in the imperial court, which is why they can operate so freely in the underworld."
Ye Nanxiao's words startled Nana, and she felt a chill creep up her spine to the top of her head.
"This country is beyond saving," Nana murmured.
Huo Yuhao frowned. "I have an idea. Since the highest combat power in this branch is a seven-ring Soul Saint, and there aren't any extra high-end combatants, why don't we infiltrate this branch first, destroy it, and at the same time collect information to report to the academy!"
"With my brother's and my strength, dealing with a Soul Saint shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Nanxiao put away his teacup and said, "Okay, but give me some time. I'll go to the underworld to gather some intelligence."
Upon hearing that Ye Nanxiao and Huo Yuhao were going to attack and destroy the branch, Nana's eyes reddened again. She bowed deeply to the two of them and choked out, "Thank you. From now on, Nana will follow you and serve you as her masters."
"No need to follow the Lord. Since you're so eager to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult, why not join the Tang Sect? Five social insurances and one housing fund, meals, accommodation, and soul tools included." Ye Nanxiao took out a contract from his storage ring and handed it to Nana.
Nana wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and picked up the contract.
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's explanation, Huo Yuhao immediately realized that Ye Nanxiao was about to start deceiving people again. However, the Tang Sect was currently short of people, and if Nana joined, she would definitely be a great fighting force.
Huo Yuhao held his teacup and sipped his tea, waiting for Ye Nanxiao to finish his charade.
One cup of tea, two cups of tea, three cups of tea's time passed, and Nana was still looking at the contract.
"Um, I don't understand what this says," Nana said timidly, raising her hand with a blush on her face.
She recognized all the characters, but when put together, they were like a book written in a foreign language.
