Chapter 316 The Principle of Divinity (Two in One)
"rain"
Seeing the figure slowly walking towards the rest area, Ye Guyi subconsciously greeted him, but then, realizing that she almost made a mistake, she quickly changed her words.
"Holy Son, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just suddenly developed a new ability and I feel a little weak after using it."
Under the mask, Huo Yuhao unconsciously gave a forced smile and pointed at Wei Na beside him.
"It happens that there are two beds in your room. Let her stay in the other one temporarily."
"good."
Ye Guyi nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked for no reason: "Is it really okay?"
She couldn't tell what was wrong, but when she looked at Huo Yuhao's eyes that had returned to blue, she suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with him.
Although she couldn't figure out the reason, her intuition told her that all of this was inseparable from the game just now.
"Small problem, I just, um just"
As if he didn't know how to explain it, after thinking for a long time, Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.
"I just remembered some things from the past. Just give me some time to adapt."
After saying that, the young man nodded towards Ye Xishui, who was staring straight at him.
"I have something else to do. I'll ask you to escort them back to the hotel later."
Not sure whether it was because he saw him win the game or for some other reason, Ye Xishui surprisingly didn't say anything to hurt him, but just nodded silently.
Just like that, with everyone watching, Huo Yuhao walked quickly outside the competition venue as if he had something on his mind.
Du Bushui, who had already arrived at the ring and checked Long Aotian's condition, also noticed this scene. Looking at the back of the Holy Spirit Cult captain leaving alone, his eyes flickered for a while, and then he looked at Wei Na's place again with shame. Location.
Of course he heard the conversation clearly. When he thought that the two people he had almost given up on actually survived in this way, he felt inexplicably embarrassed.
The Noumenon Sect has always been known for being tough and protecting shortcomings. This time, he showed an attitude of preferring to be broken into pieces rather than ruined. He was tough, but it almost led to the death of two top geniuses who could have survived.
It can be said that there is no protection at all.
Although he did this for the sake of the sect, it would inevitably leave some small knots in the hearts of other sect members.
Especially when Wei Na chose to use everything she had in exchange for Long Aotian's life, retaining a trace of fire for the Noumenon Sect.
Comparing the behavior of the two, it was like putting him, the sect leader, on the fire.
He originally wanted to say a few words to Vina and try to use other conditions to get her back from the Holy Spirit Cult.
But I don’t know if she was dissatisfied with his behavior of not saving him. Wei Na bluntly stated that she had done her best to save Long Aotian, repaying the kindness of the Ontology Sect for so many years, and expressed that she did not want to have anything to do with the Ontology Sect anymore. Any relationship.
Then, she quietly followed the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, never looking at him or Long Aotian again.
Seeing the cold attitude of the other party, he realized that if he continued to entangle himself, he would only bring trouble to himself. Du Bushu, who was already feeling guilty, could only give Huo Yuhao a symbolic warning and prepare to wait for Long Aotian to wake up before making any plans.
To be honest, he was actually a little lucky that things had developed like this.
After all, compared to the almost complete annihilation of the younger generation, Long Aotian, the genius who resisted the banner, is at least still alive. At least the Noumenon Sect has avoided the fate of being in ruins and having its inheritance cut off.
Of course, this does not mean that he will let today's matter turn out easily.
The Noumenon Sect has been established for nearly ten thousand years, and it has never suffered such great grievances when facing any force. We must not just let it go!
If we just swallow our anger like this, wouldn't people in the future think that their Noumenon Sect is easy to bully?
Until Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared completely, Ye Guyi finally couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart and turned his head to look at Ye Xishui beside him.
"Don't you think he's a little weird?"
"It's normal."
Ye Xishui looked at the place where Huo Yuhao disappeared and said calmly.
"No matter how determined a person is, there will be times when he is confused. What's more, the path he wants to take is destined to be the opposite of some people. As he said himself, he just hasn't adapted yet."
"Um"
Ye Guyi thought hard for a while and scratched his hair in embarrassment.
"Well, I still don't understand what you mean."
"."
Ye Xishui was silent. After a while, she continued to add.
"Do you still remember the conversation you had with that guy after returning to the branch from Dongyang City a few years ago?"
"I know." Ye Guyi nodded.
It was at that time that she met Ye Xishui, the Ultimate Douluo Evil Soul Master.
"Since you haven't forgotten, that's the best thing." Ye Xishui squinted at her.
"When I heard you talking to him outside the door, I simply thought that boy was a good old man who knew nothing about heaven and earth. He actually naively thought that he could change the world with his kindness and passion, and let everyone join hands and have a good life together. live"
"But as time went by, I gradually discovered that this was not the case. That little bastard actually knew what the world was like and had never been kind to anyone outside of him."
Ye Xishui paused and said word by word.
"——What he pursues is the divine code."
".Divinity?" Ye Guyi was puzzled, not quite understanding.
"From the perspective of ordinary people, evil soul masters who kill people for cultivation deserve to die."
"From the perspective of soul beasts, humans who hunt soul beasts for soul rings also deserve to die."
"Even from the perspective of those weaker poultry and livestock, whether it is evil soul masters, humans, or soul beasts, they will all kill them for the so-called desire to fill their stomachs."
Looking at Ye Guyi's pensive look, Ye Xishui spread his hands and continued.
"It's just like you are a holy angel who specializes in hunting evil soul masters, and I am an evil soul master. It's normal that we can't understand each other."
"Do your job, fight for your position, kill for the continuation of your own race, and put aside those idiots who are both in power and like to criticize others on the moral level when they are doing it themselves. There is nothing wrong with this behavior itself."
At this point, Ye Xishui changed the subject and said calmly.
"But that little bastard is different."
"He looks down on the world from above and treats all living beings equally."
"Everything he does is not to make a certain race atone for its past actions, but to allow all races to avoid meaningless internal friction and coexist with each other to a certain extent."
"Only those who provoke him will be regarded as enemies by him."
Recalling what Huo Yuhao had said to her, Ye Guyi nodded as if she had understood something.
"No wonder he told me that if you want souls, treat soul beasts well."
But soon, she raised her head again and looked at Ye Xishui in confusion.
"But what does this have to do with his change just now?"
"It's very simple, because in addition to following the principles of divinity, he also has self-compassion." Ye Xishui gave the answer.
"I don't know why a teenager has such a peculiar mentality, but as I said just now, no matter how determined he is in his heart, he is not a cold machine, and there will always be times when he feels confused about his behavior."
Looking at Ye Guyi's slightly frowned brows, she suddenly asked.
"What do you think? If he inevitably deviates to a certain extreme, what do you want him to become?"
"Ah? I don't know."
Ye Guyi's face was full of hesitation and entanglement: "I don't like him to be too nice, but I don't want him to be too arrogant."
"If possible, I still hope he won't change."
"Why?"
"Well, someone told me before that if you can't tell whether the guy is a good guy or a bad guy, just stay by his side and keep observing."
It seemed a little difficult to say, Ye Guyi lowered his head embarrassedly.
"If he is too nice, then I have no reason to continue to punish him. I will inevitably feel guilty when bullying him. Similarly, if he is a bad guy, then I have to follow my promise and leave him."
"So, I hope he is still the same as before."
"."
Ye Xishui was stunned. After a long time, she seemed to be amused by this weird reason. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and chuckled.
"I agree with you on this point. If that little bastard can only talk to me seriously in the future, it will indeed be less fun."
"Vina. Vina!"
Waking up from his coma with a scream, Long Aotian's voice stopped abruptly when he looked at the familiar hotel room in front of him.
After a simple look around, he realized that he had been carried back to the big bed in the hotel while he was unconscious.
A nightmare-like scene on the court emerged in his mind. Long Aotian's lips stammered, and the sheets in his hands were unconsciously grasped into a wrinkled shape.
As if hearing the movement in the room, the team members on duty outside the door opened the door. When they saw that Long Aotian had woken up, they immediately showed joy.
"Captain, you're awake! I'll go inform the sect master now!"
After saying that, he left Long Aotian, who had not had time to ask questions, and turned around and rushed out of the room.
In less than half a minute, the spacious room was crowded with people.
Without exception, almost everyone showed concern, but because Du Bu Si was present, they were embarrassed to speak first.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Long Aotian sat up with some difficulty, bowed to Du Bu Si briefly, and then asked directly.
"Where is Vina? How is she?"
"... I didn't fulfill my obligations as Sect Master and didn't protect you well."
Du Bu Si sighed faintly: "After she exchanged herself for your safety, she went to the rest area of the Holy Spirit Church with the captain of the Holy Spirit Church. Now she should have left with their team."
At this point, he took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with grief and shame, and continued to add in a hoarse voice.
"But don't worry, I have warned the captain of the Holy Spirit Church. If he dares to force Vina to do something she doesn't want to do, I will make the Holy Spirit Church seriously injured even if I risk my life!"
Hearing this bad news, Long Aotian trembled all over, and subconsciously clenched the bed sheet a little tighter.
Everyone present knew exactly what an evil soul master was. How could they be so restrained by a threat from Du Bushi?
Just imagining how miserable Vina would suffer after falling into the hands of the lewd captain of the Holy Spirit Church, Long Aotian felt a surge of blood in his chest.
With a sweet and fishy feeling coming from his throat, he suddenly turned his head and vomited a large mouthful of blood on the floor.
"Aotian!"
Hearing the excited voices of the people around him, he quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
After easing up for a long time, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and when he looked at Du Bu Si again, his eyes were full of determination.
"Master, Vina fell to this point because of me. I, Long Aotian, will never let her be tortured by those scums in the Holy Spirit Church!"
He didn't have too many special emotions about Du Bu Si's behavior of watching her die without saving her.
The development of this matter to this point is because he took the initiative to provoke the Holy Spirit Church and his skills were not as good as his talents.
In addition, the Body Sect has always protected its shortcomings, especially for a genius like him who was cultivated by the Body Sect with all his efforts. He has a strong sense of belonging to the sect, and naturally understands Du Bu Si's idea that the interests of the sect are above everything else.
If you want to say what he feels in his heart now, it is only regret.
He regrets that he is not capable enough, causing his team members to die tragically, and even his fiancée has to give herself to the evil soul master in exchange for a chance to keep him alive.
At this point, the only thing he wants to do now is to save Vina at all costs.
Even if it means sacrificing his own life!
Otherwise, just because he ignored his fiancée after being saved and lived alone, he would probably live in guilt for the rest of his life and it would be difficult for him to step into the realm of Titled Douluo again.
"This is what I think, and this joint action against the City of Original Sin is our best chance."
Du Bu Si nodded with a heavy face and said solemnly.
"Aotian, I hope you can lead the remaining contestants of the Body Sect to continue to participate in the Soul Master Competition. After all, if we withdraw and continue to stay in Mingdu, the evil soul masters will definitely be suspicious."
"This is done not only to allow us to stay in a low-key way until the end and participate in the action, but also to buy time for the alliance to continue to attract other people to join."
Although they lost six players, they still have some backup players in their Body Sect. With the Soul Saint cultivation, Long Aotian, whose injuries are not too serious, will have no problem qualifying for the second place in the round-robin tournament.
Hearing this, Long Aotian's eyes burst into a firm look, and he promised excitedly.
"Yes! Sect Master! I will complete the task!"
Du Bu Si nodded with satisfaction, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Because of what Huo Yuhao said on the stage today, many forces in the alliance began to worry that they would encounter revenge from the Holy Spirit Church after the action failed, and they all began to back down.
With their current strength alone, it is a question whether they can compete with the Holy Spirit Church.
Just when Du Bu Si was feeling irritated, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"It seems that the master of the body seems to have encountered some difficulties?"
Du Bu Si's hair stood on end, and he looked around vigilantly, and he was shocked.
Even Long Xiaoyao couldn't transmit the sound without him noticing. From this point of view, the person who spoke was at least at the level of Extreme Douluo.
Where did this strong man come from?
What did he want to do with him?
As if guessing what he was thinking, the owner of the voice introduced himself directly.
"I am Niu Tian, the master of Haotian Sect. I happen to have some grievances with the Holy Spirit Church. I may be able to provide some help for the things that the master of the body is worried about."
"I'll give you an address. Come over now and we'll talk in person."
Haotian Sect?
This unknown hidden sect actually has such a terrifying background?
They actually have Extreme Douluo strongmen?
He originally thought that the world's No. 1 sect was a thing of the past, but now it seems that this force that is ignored by most people is the most terrifying.
Although he was still vigilant, Du Bu Si's expression was much more relaxed.
After hesitating for a moment, he did not say anything. He said a few words to everyone in the room and turned around and walked out of the room.
Night fell.
On the rooftop of Mingyue Hotel, which was rarely visited by people, two people appeared for the first time.
One of them was Huo Yuhao, who had been standing on the rooftop for a long time in the cold wind, staring blankly at the brightly lit city in front of him, and was silent.
The other one was Ye Xishui, who had just come over and was wearing a blood-stained robe.
"What? Are you regretting what you did today?"
Listening to the mocking voice coming from behind, Huo Yuhao asked calmly without turning his head.
"What do I have to regret?"
"That's hard to say."
As she spoke, Ye Xishui came to Huo Yuhao's side and imitated him by leaning her hands on the guardrail.
However, she did not appreciate the scenery in front of her, but turned her head and looked at Huo Yuhao's stunning face, which was looming between the swaying hair, with a frivolous look, and her tone became more and more playful.
"For example, regret standing on the roof alone in the cold wind at night, and not notifying the little girl you conquered in advance to sleep together?"
"Or."
She took the initiative to move closer so that her deliberately low voice could be clearly transmitted to the boy's ears.
"Or maybe you regret agreeing to that little girl and not killing the Noumenon Sect to death?"
Before Huo Yuhao could refute, she continued to explain her reasoning.
"Isn't your original plan to kill all the participating members of the Noumenon Sect?"
"If Du Bushit goes berserk during this process, it would be a pity to kill him on the spot."
"It's a pity that you changed your mind at the last minute, isn't it?"
"."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.
After a while, he finally let out a sigh that seemed to be filled with emotion.
"You are truly worthy of being the supreme leader."
"This is the most sincere compliment I've heard from you little bastard in the past few years."
Ye Xishui nodded with satisfaction, remained silent for a moment, and then brought the topic back to the beginning.
"So, why?"
"How can there be so many reasons?"
Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly: "Isn't it because I was persuaded by Wei Na and felt that she would be able to perform even better if she stayed?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xishui interrupted him mercilessly.
"You are avoiding my question. You should know very well that this is not what I am asking."
"I'm asking you why you had the idea of wiping out the Noumenon Sect from the beginning."
She stared into Huo Yuhao's calm eyes and continued to ask.
"After all, judging from the past situation, you should keep your good-natured attitude, find a way to sneak into the Noumenon Sect, and then use your emotions to move people to reason, and rely on your color to make everyone laugh. Holding hands and making dumplings together is a happy ending, isn’t it?”
"So what image do I have in your eyes?"
The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain. He looked at Mingdu below, thought carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"If I have to say it, I'm probably at my wits' end, right?"
"At your wits' end?"
"Yes." Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes slightly, and his gentle voice mixed with the howling cold wind penetrated into Ye Xishui's ears.
"Realize your own insignificance, realize that you are not omnipotent, and realize that not everyone will be determined to implement my ideas just because I say a few big words."
"Am I going to have to spend several more years, relying on my so-called appearance, kindness, and gentleness, holding a big loudspeaker to preach to the people of the Noumenon Sect all day long about cherishing each other and working together for progress? It will take even longer time. To change and correct their prejudices and ideas?”
He turned his head and met Ye Xishui's eyes.
"Even if I can do it, how much price will I have to pay in the process that I don't want to see like in the previous knockout rounds?"
Ye Xishui fell silent, speechless.
Just as Huo Yuhao said.
Shrek's leader, Moon, has a far-sighted vision and can gain some support through reasoning. The Holy Spirit Cult is greedy for life and is afraid of death, so they can use relatively tough methods.
But for the Noumenon sect, which has always been lawless and refuses to take hard or soft measures,
There was nothing he could do.
"So I gave up."
Huo Yuhao said: "I have already given them a chance. Since they still want to mess with me, I will not let any of them go."
".Tsk, tsk, tsk."
After a brief silence, Ye Xishui, who came back to his senses, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
"It looks like a harmless little sheep, but in fact it is full of bad things. It is bad to the core."
"."
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes angrily: "Why, the dignified Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect has now begun to persuade people to do good things?"
"Should I show mercy?"
Ye Xishui did not answer in a hurry, but squinted and looked at his face carefully.
"If the City of Original Sin wants to live in the sun, it needs an image that is more acceptable to the public to stand in front of the stage. After thinking about it, only your beautiful face is more suitable."
"So in order to avoid damaging your personal image, in the future, it is better to leave things like massacre to a crazy woman like me who likes to kill people."
"There just happened to be rumors from the Douluo Three Kingdoms that they were preparing to jointly attack the City of Original Sin. Please don't get involved in this matter, lest you get distracted and run to the rooftop to blow the cold wind."
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment: "Can you do it alone?"
"It might have been difficult before, but with the soul guide you gave me, it should be enough for me to kill everyone."
