Chapter 454 The Unexpected Evil Soul Master Branch
Every ten meters along the passage, there was a torch burning with a ghostly blue flame, illuminating the passage.
The eerie blue flames, unlike ordinary flames, also made the passageway seem strange.
"Laugh"
Ye Nanxiao stopped abruptly, having caught a faint sound.
Ye Guyi's nerves were on edge, and she noticed Ye Nanxiao's actions immediately.
Although it was unclear why Ye Nanxiao had stopped, Ye Guyi already held the holy sword in her hand.
Ye Nanxiao made a gesture to tell Ye Guyi not to be nervous and to look down at her feet.
As the deputy sect leader of the Tang Sect, Ye Nanxiao is not only a genius in soul tools, but also a master of hidden weapons.
A subtle, unusual sensation came from beneath his feet, and Ye Nanxiao's spiritual power instantly surged forth.
What lay beneath Ye Nanxiao's feet was not a trigger mechanism for a hidden weapon, but a hidden door.
Why is the hidden door in the very center of the passage?
Ye Nanxiao was filled with doubts, but he still started to destroy the mechanism of the hidden door beneath his feet.
The mechanism was far more complex than Ye Nanxiao had imagined, with ten security procedures.
The complicated security procedures made Ye Nanxiao even more puzzled.
Why is the hidden door in the center of this passage so complexly protected? What secrets lie beneath?
Mission Impossible!
The word instantly popped into Ye Nanxiao's mind.
In a secluded location within the original secret base, another secret base is set up, covering the original secret base to create a protective camouflage.
Ye Nanxiao felt that his deduction was almost certainly correct, but his hands unconsciously slowed down.
He was currently infiltrating a base of evil spirit masters with Ye Guyi, and beneath this base was a secret base, the number of enemies within which was unknown.
Ye Nanxiao could leave safely on his own, but Ye Guyi could not.
What Ye Nanxiao is afraid of right now is that even if he unleashes his full power, he will not be able to leave with Ye Guyi safely.
Because this place is not far from the Demon Forest.
This evil spirit master base was also the first base Ye Nanxiao had ever seen that used a full ten security procedures for its doors.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Nanxiao said, "There's a very sophisticated mechanism down there. There's a high chance there's an evil soul master base underground. I suggest we retreat first and then make further plans."
Ye Guyi frowned deeply. She wasn't stupid; she could tell from Ye Nanxiao's solemn expression just how intricate the mechanism door was.
This was also beyond Ye Guyi's expectations. She didn't expect that there was another base beneath this base, and the number of evil soul masters in that base would not be small.
There were only two of them, Ye Nanxiao and Ye Nanxiao, one a quasi-Soul Emperor and the other a Soul Saint. In the base of the evil soul masters, there would definitely be evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level, or at the very least, at the Soul Douluo level.
After only a moment's thought, Ye Guyi agreed to Ye Nanxiao's proposal.
She and the evil spirit masters were indeed mortal enemies, but she also knew that she could only fight if she was alive.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to leave after Ye Guyi agreed, a series of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the passage entrance.
The two of them instantly changed their expressions. Ye Guyi was about to spread her wings when Ye Nanxiao grabbed her and pulled her back.
A strong masculine scent wafted over, and an unnatural expression appeared on Ye Guyi's face.
Ye Nanxiao hugged Ye Guyi tightly, pressed close to the wall, and the aura-shielding soul tool "Fox Den" appeared above their heads. The ice mirror contracted, almost touching the two of them.
Ye Nanxiao stared intently at the entrance of the passage. To stay as close to the wall as possible, he removed his Frost Armor.
After a brief moment of distraction, Ye Guyi quickly pressed the holy sword against her chest to avoid accidentally injuring Ye Nanxiao.
"Shh, don't make a sound." Ye Nanxiao gestured with his eyes to the "fox den" floating above his head.
Ye Guyi nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to the entrance of the passage.
The hurried footsteps grew closer, and distorted shadows, illuminated by the eerie blue torches, were cast on the walls, creating a rather unsettling atmosphere.
Three powerful, undisguised auras emanated from the area, instantly making Ye Guyi tense.
In her perception, all three auras belonged to powerful evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level.
The Frozen Flower quietly lit up on Ye Nanxiao's neck. When he sensed the aura of the three Soul Douluos, Ye Nanxiao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Contra who arrived; he and Ye Guyi are currently safe.
However, for Contra, perception will be blocked by "Fox Den".
Sure enough, three men dressed in ordinary black clothes hurriedly walked into the passage while chatting.
"Today's recruitment only yielded a few hundred members; this number is hard to explain!"
"We can only operate covertly right now. A few hundred people is already a decent number. If we were any larger, our cult might discover us, and then we'd be in big trouble!"
The two people at the back sighed, while the one at the front, with his slicked-back hair and a high, pointed nose that seemed to reach for the sky, was firing at the gods.
Hearing the two men behind him sighing repeatedly, the man with the hooked nose snapped, "What are you sighing about! So what if there are a few hundred? For Lord Zhao's plan! We must remain secret now! If our sect discovers this and it implicates Lord Zhao, I'll personally send you on your way!"
After being reprimanded by the man with the hooked nose, the two men following behind immediately fell silent.
Seemingly dissatisfied with the attitude of the two men behind him, the man with the hooked nose stopped and turned around, yelling, "All of you, get to work! We've already sent out enough men. Tell your men to hurry up. If you really can't recruit anyone, then go and steal some!"
"The three great empires have so many people! Especially the Douling Empire! Every day, so many civilians become refugees; it wouldn't be a problem to seize a few thousand!"
"Yes, boss." The two men stood at attention and replied.
The man on the left asked softly, "But boss, we need so many people. Even if we have more manpower, the consumption will be too high! The leader doesn't allow us to eat those lowly people. Using them as manpower alone won't be enough to match the strength of our sect!"
The man with the hawk-like nose stared intently at the man on his left, his eagle-like gaze causing the latter to gradually shut his mouth.
"Just carry out the leader's orders, don't ask so many questions."
A powerful pressure emanated from the man with the hooked nose.
Ye Nanxiao braced himself against the wall, resisting the oppressive aura of the man with the hawk-nose.
"Everything's alright!" the two men said, bowing their heads.
The man with the hooked nose snorted coldly, withdrew his oppressive aura, and continued walking into the passage.
After the man with the hawk-nose left, the two men suddenly started panting heavily.
"What terrifying pressure! We're both Contra Masters, yet the difference is so huge!" said the man on the left.
The man on the right reached out and lifted his companion to the air, saying, "You'd better keep quiet. How could we possibly guess what Leader Zhao wants to do? Just do your job properly, or you might end up being fed to the Dragon Nightmare by Leader Zhao!"
After speaking, the man on the right peeked out to see if the man with the hooked nose had gone far enough, then whispered in his companion's ear, "What we're doing now has nothing to do with our sect. If our sect finds out, Sect Leader Zhao and Protector Li Ying might be fine, but the rest of us, including the two of us, will be taken out and our souls fed to the Holy Tower!"
Upon hearing the words "Holy Tower," the man on the left turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror, his body trembled involuntarily, and his trembling lips struggled to utter a single word.
The man on the right sighed, grabbed his companion, and hurried inside.
Only after the two men's presence had completely disappeared from his senses did Ye Nanxiao gently sit up.
Touching his chin, Ye Nanxiao felt as if he had heard something incredible.
"The Holy Tower? Leader Zhao? Something unrelated to our sect?"
The Holy Tower must be some kind of evil soul-guiding device from the Holy Spirit Cult, just like the Holy Spirit Flag that Ye Nanxiao disarmed before, capable of causing significant damage to the soul.
So who is this Master Zhao?
Ye Nanxiao remembered that the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was named Zhong Liwu, the son of Ye Xishui. In the original story, he was completely crushed by Huo Yuhao, who was overpowered, and they didn't even exchange more than a few blows.
Ye Xishui is the Supreme Bishop, Long Xiaoyao is the Great Protector, and the Vice Leader is that madwoman Feng Ling. So who is this Leader Zhao?
Moreover, judging from the fragmented conversation, this Zhao cult leader is currently operating behind the back of the Holy Spirit Cult, constantly recruiting people and expanding his power.
When it comes to expanding one's power, Ye Nanxiao almost instinctively thinks of the word "seizing power."
It's hard to believe that secretly cultivating power behind the back of the religion is for the sake of the Holy Church's development.
"Master Zhao." Ye Nanxiao murmured to himself, secretly memorizing the name.
Perhaps this could be an aid in breaking through the Holy Spirit Cult.
Ye Guyi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the crisis was over, but her heart was still pounding.
She felt as if the air was filled with Ye Nanxiao's scent, and when they were close together just now, she could even feel Ye Nanxiao's temperature through his clothes.
Ye Guyi felt her face burning; she knew her face must be very red.
"We've discovered something incredible," Ye Nanxiao said.
"This evil soul master base seems to be a restless force, indicating that there are signs of a split within the Holy Spirit Cult."
Ye Nanxiao spoke while looking in the direction of the passage, but he couldn't hear Ye Guyi's response. He turned his head and saw Ye Guyi holding the Holy Sword and staring at him in a daze.
His round eyes were filled with his own face.
Ye Nanxiao raised his hand and waved it in front of Ye Guyi's eyes.
Ye Guyi seemed to be startled awake and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I saw you spacing out. We're in the lion's den now. It's better to get out of here as soon as possible. Things have developed beyond our expectations. This place is not only a spy base, but it may also be a rebel force." Ye Nanxiao said, walking back the way he came.
"But I feel like something inside is calling out to me!" Ye Guyi said.
