Chapter 1223 There are still rats in the city!
The speech delivered at the palace gates, passing through the bustling crowd, spread throughout almost the entire Lingdou City.
All the people were thrilled when they learned of Xu Sanshi's declaration of taking the throne.
After so many years, finally there is an emperor who cares about ordinary people like them!
Countless ordinary people rushed around, just to deliver this news to their relatives and friends as soon as possible.
Some wealthy businessmen had already informed their friends of the news through their Soul Guide portable communication devices.
The Soul Guide Portable Communication System, commonly known as Soul Message, is also a product that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce developed and sold very well.
The original top echelons of the Douling Empire scoffed at this, thinking that soul power transmission was far too inconvenient.
Although Xu Sanshi had purged a large number of corrupt officials from the Douling Empire, the remaining noble families and sects still harbored treacherous intentions.
Even with the Chen family leading the suppression and quelling all the evil intentions below, over time, all sorts of demons and monsters will emerge.
Moreover, Xu Sanshi faces a serious problem: the lack of capable officials in the imperial court.
Having seized the throne by suppressing a rebellion, almost all the ministers were secretly waiting to see Xu Sanshi make a fool of himself.
Clearly, the deaths of Lei Zheng, Xue Kui, and Xue Leng were merely a way for them to feel that the pie on their plate needed to be bigger.
However, Xu Sanshi was prepared for this.
He directly invited Ye Nanxiao over.
Of course, it's not about training talent; that would be too slow.
Ye Nanxiao has a clone, capable of handling official documents with three heads and six arms.
Originally, all the offline systems of the Douling Empire were functioning normally, but the sudden attack left the Douling Empire without its mind.
As long as the mind can still function and issue commands, the behemoth that is the empire can continue to operate.
Ye Nanxiao created two clones to handle official documents and suggested that Xu Sanshi streamline the empire's institutions and disperse the prime minister's power.
The system of the Douling Empire cannot be changed in the short term.
However, oversight bodies for violence can appear instantly.
In the imperial court, the two officials on the left and right simultaneously proposed that, due to the vacancies in the positions of officials, it was necessary to replenish the manpower, and requested Xu Sanshi to invite the old Prime Minister Xue Wen back.
Xu Sanshi thought for a moment. He knew that both the Left and Right Chancellors were Xue Wen's men, and he was also somewhat surprised that Xue Wen had not made any move during the chaos in the capital.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Xue Wen's forbearance shows that the matter he was planning was of great importance.
So he agreed, and then had Ye Nanxiao disguise himself and test Xue Wen.
Ye Nanxiao was very concerned about the Douling Empire; this was the most crucial step in his plan.
Even though he was so busy with his clone Wangcai, he still managed to squeeze out time to visit the Xue residence.
On the way, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
The souls of the three Holy Spirit Cult elders taken by the Soul Suppressing Tower have not yet been processed.
He had planned to address this matter after resolving the Douling Empire's system, but today, the thought suddenly popped into his head and became uncontrollable, constantly swirling in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
As a nine-tailed fox, Ye Nanxiao values her intuition highly.
That's his talent.
He randomly found a rooftop, conjured an ice mirror to conceal himself, then sat cross-legged, with the Soul-Suppressing Tower floating above his head.
His consciousness sank into the Soul-Suppressing Tower.
The murals on the tower walls became increasingly lifelike as the Soul-Suppressing Tower evolved.
Ye Nanxiao summoned Ox-Head and Horse-Face, each holding a soul.
Staring at the soul emanating an eerie black aura, Ye Nanxiao didn't hesitate and immediately began searching the soul.
Those who follow the Holy Spirit Church should not be regarded as human beings.
Therefore, Ye Nanxiao immediately began searching the soul without any hesitation.
"The Holy Spirit Cult's major strongholds. This information is good, write it down."
"The Holy Spirit Cult's evil magic manual? Memory erasure."
"Weapons and items related to the soul? What's the use of just instructions? Delete them."
Ye Nanxiao discarded the already destroyed souls of Masked Douluo and Heavenly Centipede Douluo, and directly grabbed the soul of Nether Thunder Douluo to continue searching for his soul.
During his search, he discovered something urgent.
That means there are still disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult hiding in Lingdou City, and they are skilled in evil magic related to control.
"A Gu-type martial soul, which is also an evil technique capable of controlling people, and extremely difficult to detect?"
After reading this information, Ye Nanxiao specially repaired the two broken souls of Masked Douluo and Heavenly Centipede Douluo, and then locked them in the tower prison.
You also need to constantly search for souls to obtain information, and you can't let them explode and become experience packs.
Ye Nanxiao awoke from the soul magic.
He pondered a question: where are the remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult hiding in Spirit City now?
He possesses the ability to control and bewitch people; how many people in the city are currently under his control?
The more Ye Nanxiao thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on his back.
In that case, have the hunters under his command become targets?
However, what made Ye Nanxiao feel gratified was that the hunters, who had undergone systematic training by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, all had a strong sense of security.
Given the setting that the Soul Guidance Armor is not activated during missions, the hunter team should not have been compromised at present.
Two snowflakes flew away, and Ye Nanxiao released his mental energy to the maximum extent.
With his current level of mental strength, coupled with the Frozen Flower, covering half of Spirit Fighting City should be no problem, provided he maintains precision.
He took out the worn-out shoes he had stored in his storage ring and tossed them aside casually.
A moment later, Ye Nanxiao arrived at the gate of the Xue residence.
The Holy Spirit Cult, the Holy Spirit Cult, they're even better at hiding than rats in the sewers!
As Ye Nanxiao muttered to himself, he suddenly remembered that most serious and thorny problem.
The leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, now, is nowhere to be found, and is preparing to cause trouble!
A certain layer of the abyss.
"Hahahaha! I've succeeded! I've succeeded!"
A towering mountain suddenly shattered, turning into a pile of rubble.
At the original highest point of that mountain range, a figure sat cross-legged.
He was dressed in a black robe, which covered his pale, deathly face.
Around him, space constantly shattered and then reformed.
A strange spatial line faintly emerged from the shattered space.
"Zhongliwu, it seems you've found your world?" A deep, hazy voice rang out.
The latest novel is first published here!
Zhongli Wu slowly withdrew his smile and looked coldly at the ground.
"I have felt the call of the Douluo Continent, Lord of Lava, it is time for you to fulfill your promise!"
"Don't rush, you've only just found the spatial coordinates, you haven't opened the spatial passage yet!"
"Once you have opened the spatial passage, I will immediately send troops to attack."
Zhongli Wu snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and began to tear apart space.
"You better keep your word!"
Staying in this abyss world, Zhongli Wu cannot expect to obtain the primordial energy of heaven and earth from this world and convert it into soul power to replenish himself.
He also dared not arbitrarily extract energy from the bodies of abyssal creatures.
Who knows if that self-proclaimed emperor will secretly plot against him and turn him into a puppet of the abyss?
Therefore, Zhongli Wu must race against time to find the coordinates of the Douluo plane before his soul power is exhausted.
Fortunately, after he shattered the space, he used the influence of the spatial turbulence to fully comprehend the spatial coordinates deep within his own body. After consuming 60% of his soul power, he successfully sensed the spatial coordinates of the Douluo World.
Just as Zhongli Wu was feeling smug, a sudden wave of heat surged through his chest.
The oppressive heat almost made Zhongli Wu, a level 98 Super Douluo, spit out a mouthful of blood.
That was the chaotic spatial power emanating from the spatial turbulence invading Zhongli Wu's body, causing his internal organs to almost shift and resulting in shock injuries.
Zhongli Wu forcibly suppressed the oppressive heat.
He had to maintain his strong demeanor to prevent the Lava Lord from harboring greedy murderous intentions.
Lord of Lava was the nickname he gave to the ruler of this abyss world.
Even though Zhongli Wucai continuously released his senses while sensing the coordinates of the Douluo World, he was still unable to perceive the size and energy scale of the Lava Lord.
Abyssal creatures are creatures that constantly grow stronger. So, these abyssal creatures that fill the entire layer might all be special "avatars" created by the Lord of Lava.
Zhongli Wu became increasingly wary as he thought about it.
But at the same time, the more excited they become.
Such a massive amount of energy, if it were absorbed by oneself...
That Limit Douluo!
It's just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but feel murderous intent.
However, as the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, he concealed all his thoughts and feelings very well.
The Lord of Lava didn't quite understand human beings either, and only thought that Zhongli Wu was a creature without much patience.
If it weren't for the frost energy he brought that day, the Lord of Lava would have directly devoured Zhongli Wu.
"Lord of Lava? That's a nice-sounding name."
"Wait for that insignificant human being to point out the passage to that world!"
"My army will be able to charge in again!"
Thinking of this, the Lord of Lava couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of greed.
The energy attached to the frost actually caused its own realm to advance by several small stages.
This is equivalent to the energy it directly devours from several tiny worlds.
If we could directly capture the source of that incredibly pure energy...
The Lord of Lava dares to imagine himself facing the kings of the tenth level.
"Lord of Lava, I need your help! I have now sensed the coordinates of the spatial anchor point, but opening a passage to accommodate me alone is easy; as for a passage to accommodate you abyssal creatures..."
Zhongli Wu chuckled; he was only responsible for paying for the energy he used to travel through the spatial channel.
As for the enormous and bizarre abyssal creatures, he was not responsible for them.
Take the Blazing Hammerhead Beast for example. It's as tall as a five-story building. How big must that spatial passage be?
How much energy is needed to open a spatial passage?
The Lord of Lava glanced at Zhongli Wu through the omnipresent "eye" of the outside world, and then happily agreed.
"Of course, that's my responsibility. You just need to open the spatial channel and stabilize the spatial anchor point coordinates!"
Hundreds of volcanoes erupted simultaneously, and a surging power, like a vast ocean, was gathering.
Zhongli Wu waved his hand, opening a spatial passage. "Ye Nanxiao! You forced me into this!" (End of Chapter)
