Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 109: When did you get the illusion that I would surrender?
Nana dragged her heavy steps and walked towards the room inside. She could not resist the people of the Holy Spirit Church at all. On the one hand, it was because her parents' souls were in the hands of the Holy Spirit Church.
On the other hand, it was because the strength of this branch was good.
According to her memory, this branch had a Seven-Ring Soul Saint in charge, but this Seven-Ring Soul Saint rarely came here. Most of the time, the people who stayed in this branch to handle matters were the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit.
The Seven-Ring Soul Saint was not particularly strong in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, but for Nana, it was already an insurmountable powerhouse.
'Practice hard and free the souls of my parents as soon as possible.'
Thoughts were flowing through Nana's mind.
Suddenly, a sharp cry came from behind her: "Jing Hongchen? Huo Yuhao? Why are you here?"
Nana subconsciously stopped and turned her head to look. Sure enough, the people who came were Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao. She was also shocked.
As the head of Illustrious Virtue Hall and the dean of Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Jing Hongchen was very famous in the Sun Moon Empire. On the one hand, there were too many people who wanted to curry favor with the head of Illustrious Virtue Hall, and on the other hand, he was a ninth-level Soul Engineer.
For most people in the Sun Moon Empire, a ninth-level Soul Engineer is undoubtedly an existence that cannot be provoked, so it is naturally necessary to remember the appearance of a ninth-level Soul Engineer.
Jing Hongchen is the ninth-level Soul Engineer who shows up the most in front of the public, so it is not difficult to recognize Jing Hongchen.
As for Huo Yuhao, since he was a member of the champion team and ended the 4,000-year shame of the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao is now a household name in the Sun Moon Empire.
Jing Hongchen's face turned pale: "What a Holy Spirit Church, it seems that I have been too indulgent to you so that you can even threaten the outstanding students of our academy. Nana, come to me, I will decide for you!"
Jing Hongchen heard everything Nana said to the second Holy Spirit just now, so he naturally fell into anger. He did have contact with people from the Holy Spirit Church, but he did not expect that the people from the Holy Spirit Church would do such a thing.
He has a certain understanding of the evil soul master's methods. The other party is imprisoning the souls of Nana's parents to threaten Nana.
After hearing this, Nana immediately trotted towards Jing Hongchen and soon arrived at Jing Hongchen's side.
The Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit did not dare to stop her. They were sweating profusely at the moment. According to their thoughts, with their strength, it would not be a problem to deal with Huo Yuhao. In their impression, although Huo Yuhao was very famous, he was only a Soul Elder after all. How strong would a Soul Elder be? But if he fought with Jing Hongchen, he would be crushed. After all, he was a Titled Douluo and a Level 9 Soul Engineer. Even if the evil soul master's combat power was outstanding and he could fight across levels, under normal circumstances, facing a Titled Douluo, even a Soul Emperor-level evil soul master would be defeated.
"Dean Jing, calm down and listen to my explanation." The Great Holy Spirit was a little flustered.
He could feel the huge sense of oppression brought by Jing Hongchen. If the dean wanted to take action, he would be dead. He was still aware of the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
"Yes, Dean Jing, calm down. If there is anything, we can sit down and talk." An old man in a black robe came out of the inner room and said in a flattering manner.
This person is the Seven-Ring Soul Saint who is in charge of the branch.
"If you surrender, then I will have a good talk with you." Jing Hongchen's face sank, and his soul ring floated.
Then he floated directly in the air and attacked brazenly. A golden rope flew out from his side and flew directly towards the old man in a black robe. He wanted to capture the other party alive and bring him to Kong Deming.
Huo Yuhao's safety is guaranteed, because while tracking Nana, he met a worshiper.
This worshiper is now hiding in the dark, ready to protect the life of Huo Yuhao, the deputy hall master of the worship hall, at any time. Moreover, he can still free up his hands to help Huo Yuhao by fighting a Soul Saint.
The black-robed old man's face changed slightly, and two yellow, two purple and three black soul rings suddenly rose from his body, a total of seven soul rings. A large amount of black mist also dissipated with him as the center, and some black skeletons also broke through the wall behind him and rushed towards the golden rope.
A defensive soul guidance shield also began to appear on his body.
It was impossible to surrender without a fight. This was not because he felt it was shameful to surrender without a fight, but mainly because it was indeed shameful to imprison the souls of Nana's parents and then threaten Nana.
If this matter was brought to the table, it would be a bit troublesome.
After all, the Holy Spirit Church has not yet become a national guardian religion. According to the strategy of the leader Zhongli Wu, it can secretly attack those soul masters or ordinary people without a background, but only a certain number of people can be killed every year.
But those with backgrounds must not be provoked. This is not because the Holy Spirit Church is afraid of those with backgrounds, but mainly because Zhongli Wu and Xu Tianran have some agreements. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. If the people of the Holy Spirit Church continue to kill people in the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran will not be able to sit firmly on the throne in the future.
And his behavior did cross the line. Nana is a student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, and her father is a hereditary baron. The baron is rubbish, but at least he is a noble. This kind of thing can be done privately, but once it is spread from Jing Hongchen, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some great nobles.
Who wants to see a fellow noble imprisoned by the evil soul master of the Holy Spirit Church? If they dare to imprison the soul of a baron today, won't they dare to imprison the soul of an earl tomorrow?
By then, even Xu Tianran will feel the pressure, and the promotion to the Protector of the Nation will inevitably encounter some resistance.
This also means that it will bring some trouble to the leader.
In the Holy Spirit Church, those who bring trouble to the leader will be severely punished. Some people's grave grass is now three feet high.
The golden rope burst into light, and with a click, the black skeletons were instantly destroyed. Then the golden rope was directly tied to the defensive soul guidance shield, gradually tightening, and cracks began to appear on the soul guidance shield.
The old man immediately continued to use the defensive soul guidance shield. He used all the gold soul coins to buy life-saving things. He even had a level 7 invincible shield, so he firmly believed that he could hold on for a while if Jing Hongchen wanted to capture him alive.
Next, it depends on whether the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit can adapt to the situation.
When the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit saw this scene, they actually thought of escaping at first but facing Jing Hongchen, the ninth-level soul engineer, they felt that the hope of escape was a little slim.
So they locked their sights on the weakest Huo Yuhao. As long as they caught this famous genius and took him hostage, they would be able to escape unscathed.
"Holy Servant No. 6, hurry up and catch him. Remember, don't kill him." The Great Holy Spirit shouted as he rushed over.
Nana looked at Huo Yuhao, and a look of struggle appeared on her face.
The Second Holy Spirit said sternly: "What are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and capture Huo Yuhao! Remember, your parents' souls are still here with us. If you don't obey, we will torture your parents' souls!"
Nana's body trembled. She looked at the Second Holy Spirit, gritted her teeth, and said: "I will never do such a thing."
Nana is not a fool. Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao appeared too abruptly. According to Nana's speculation, they must have discovered her abnormality, so they chose to follow her and came here.
Since they are willing to help her, how can she betray them?
With the education Nana received, she couldn't do such a thing.
Dad, Mom, Nana is sorry for you.
When Nana thought that her parents' souls might be tortured later, her eyes were red.
"You bitch! You turned against us at the last minute!" The Second Holy Spirit's face became more and more gloomy, and black mist rolled over him. One hand also became as black as ink, and he grabbed Huo Yuhao directly.
"Huo Yuhao, this is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Go away." Nana held the fifth-level soul guidance device, the Red Flame Knife, and blocked the attack of the Second Holy Spirit. With a clang, sparks flew everywhere.
She felt that Huo Yuhao had good talent, but his strength was average, and he couldn't deal with the Soul Emperor.
Suddenly, the Great Holy Spirit took out a Holy Spirit Flag and waved it wantonly. A large number of resentful spirits emerged and attacked the two.
"Yes, Huo Yuhao, you are a sensible person. Just surrender. We will not kill you."
The Great Holy Spirit saw Huo Yuhao standing still, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.
Huo Yuhao said: "When did you have the illusion that I would surrender?"
Almost instantly, the gold in his eyes faded, replaced by gray.
