Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine.

Chapter 262 The Haotian Sect has emerged from its cave!

Chapter 262 The Haotian Sect has emerged from its cave!

After several years of getting to know each other, the three of them had developed a deep trust in each other. Even though Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were still curious about Qingdi's identity, they wouldn't rush to find out unless Lin Nuo took the initiative to ask.

And the matter of waiting for Ti to join the Sun and Moon team was also completed easily. The spots were given to the most capable people, and there was nothing that a fight couldn't solve.

If you want to join a team midway, the most efficient way is to let your fists do the talking. Without Xiao and Meng making a move, Deng Di single-handedly defeated all the other team members, even though they were wearing battle armor.

After being amplified by the One-Word Battle Armor, even the weakest among them could possess the soul power of a high-level Soul Emperor. However, they were all defeated one by one by Qingdi, a Soul Master who was not wearing battle armor and wielding a long spear that could not even be considered a soul tool.

After the battle, Qingdi's joining the fight was no longer in doubt.

Similarly, thanks to Lin Nuo's recommendation, Qing Di also received a set of one-word battle armor as her basic equipment. Qing Di, who was experiencing the charm of soul guidance technology for the first time, fell in love with the battle armor.

After the "induction ceremony" ended, everyone dispersed. As they parted, Lin Nuo's meaningful gaze lingered on Nana's absent-minded face for a moment before he left the Soul Guidance Experiment Area with Meng Hongchen and the other two.

Some people just can't stay calm.

After Lin Nuo destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters and wiped out the Holy Spirit Cult's high-ranking members, the mid-level and lower-level evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, who were no longer restrained by the higher-ups, began to become restless.

Not all evil soul masters are qualified to know the location of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters. The vast majority of evil soul masters do not even know that their superiors are actually a powerful group of experts with two Limit Douluo, a large number of Super Douluo and Title Douluo. The only people they deal with are the middle-level evil soul masters above them.

These mid-level evil soul masters generally have soul power cultivation ranging from Soul Saint to Soul King. Among them are the Holy Spirit Cult branch altars where Nana's parents' souls reside. The two so-called Great Holy Spirits and Second Holy Spirits are mid-level members of the Holy Spirit Cult distributed outside.

They are qualified to know about the Holy Spirit Church headquarters, but they are not qualified to go there.

In the entire Mingdu, only a handful of titled Douluo, such as Feng Ling, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult who controlled the Xishui Alliance, and the Third Elder Ming Lei Douluo who was studying soul guidance technology in Mingdu, did not die in Lin Nuo's purge.

Only these few titled Douluo knew that the Holy Spirit Cult had been silently wiped out by a mysterious force.

As for the titled Douluo like Feng Ling, they were all too aware of how enormous the Holy Spirit Cult was. Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were like two insurmountable mountains, always occupying the top of the Holy Spirit Cult's pyramid.

And now, these two ultimate powerhouses, whose strength is unmatched by many on the entire continent, have died so hastily and so quietly.

Even Limit Douluo could only die in frustration, let alone Super Douluo and Title Douluo. The threat of death constantly loomed over them during this period.

Even if they knew that the Holy Spirit Cult had been destroyed, what could they do?

Should they step forward to gather the remaining forces of the Holy Spirit Cult and take charge of the overall situation?

Stop joking, they don't have the guts.

Evil Soul Masters are all selfish. Under the threat of death, they would rather hide than risk their lives. No one knows whether the mysterious force that destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult simply dealt with the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters incidentally, or whether it specifically targeted evil soul masters like them to kill.

If it were just a casual act, these people wouldn't be in much danger. Compared to the big fish that is the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, they are at most small fry, posing little threat and troublesome to kill.

But if the other party simply dislikes evil spirit masters, wouldn't they be instantly killed the moment they show their faces?

Not to mention that it hasn't even been half a year since the Holy Spirit Cult was destroyed, even if we extend that time tenfold, Feng Ling and the others wouldn't dare to cause trouble. They even formed a group to evacuate Mingdu and even left Douluo Continent.

They have probably already taken a large amount of wealth and resources from the Xishui Alliance and disappeared into some unknown corner. This period is the most leaderless time for the various branches of the Holy Spirit Cult.

With their immediate superiors wiped out, the remaining high-ranking officials dared not step forward to take charge.

Those mid-level personnel were unaware of this matter, even though the messenger who was supposed to come to make contact was a month or two late. However, the lingering influence of the Holy Spirit Church made them obediently manage the branch altars according to the original operating rules of the Holy Spirit Church.

However, some of them are no longer content with being alone; the world is not lacking in intelligent people.

The evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are simply evil, not truly stupid. The disappearance of the head altar's envoy inevitably makes them speculate about the inside story and wonder if their superiors have been completely eradicated.

When the tiger is away, the monkeys become king; when there's no boss, they become the bosses.

Without any management, they can do whatever they want, and they can choose not to eat beef if they don't want to.

Coincidentally, this situation arose at the Holy Spirit Cult branch that controlled Nana. They were still afraid of the Holy Spirit Cult's lingering influence and dared not do anything too outrageous, but they were already restless.

They wouldn't dare to do anything big, but they would dare to make some small moves with Nana, the thorn in their side of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

This is also why Nana has been absent-minded these past few years. The Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit of the branch altar not only began to seize the resources of the branch altar during this period for cultivation, but also instructed her to spy on intelligence in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

She was even coerced into showing them her battle armor.

It's just that the technology involved in the Battle Armor is too advanced, and it's not something that these two incompetent soul masters can understand. In addition, if they take the Battle Armor directly, it would be tantamount to openly betraying their cause. They are only a Soul Saint and a Soul Emperor, and it would be a pipe dream for them to try to escape from Mingdu with the Battle Armor.

Otherwise, the two of them would have stolen Nana's battle armor long ago.

The task they assigned to Nana this time was to find out how the battle armor was made and what blueprints it had. If the task was successful, the souls of Nana's parents would be released.

She certainly didn't believe that. Having been controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult for so many years, the Holy Spirit Cult's methods had always been nothing more than empty promises and coercion. She had never heard of anyone being able to escape the clutches of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Even if she did steal the secrets of the battle armor, she knew that her parents' souls would still not be released. Instead, it would give the Holy Spirit Cult more leverage to exploit her, making her chances of turning the tables even slimmer.

Moreover, asking a control-type Soul Master who doesn't know how to make Soul Tools to inquire about the manufacturing method of Battle Armor is as absurd as asking an Agility-type Soul Master to act as a meat shield on the battlefield.

Not only was her major unrelated to the subject, but the secrets of the battle armor were also beyond the reach of a student who hadn't even entered the Mingde Hall.

No matter which way she went, she would only find herself in a dead end.

How could this not make her feel conflicted?

"Sigh—" She sighed deeply, dragging her weary body step by step into the shadows.

Beneath the flower stand, wisps of water vapor rose into the air, and a strong, penetrating fragrance of osmanthus wafted to the noses of the four people.

When one flower blooms, all others retreat.

Osmanthus never tries to attract attention with its bright flowers, but no matter how many flowers are around, its fragrance can always be clearly smelled into the nose, fragrant but not cloying, rich but not overpowering.

Meng Hongchen sat in the main seat and poured a cup of clear tea filled with the fragrance of osmanthus for the three people in front of her. She smiled and said, "It would be a pity not to taste the combination of osmanthus cake and osmanthus tea during the season when osmanthus is in full bloom."

"I made this myself." Xiaomeng winked playfully as she said this.

Lin Nuo raised his teacup and gently blew on the hot tea. The rich floral fragrance immediately filled his lungs through his nostrils. He took a sip of tea, and the light sweetness lingered on his tongue.

Faced with Meng Hongchen's expectant expression, Lin Nuo did not hold back his praise, making Meng Hongchen overjoyed. The slight jealousy she felt earlier because of the "sister" matter vanished without a trace.

Not only him, but Xiao Hongchen and Qingdi also offered their praise, and the atmosphere among the four was extremely harmonious.

Perhaps because she wasn't infected by Princess Tang's biochemical infection, Qingdi's emotional intelligence wasn't as rigid as Wang Qiu'er's in the original work. When facing Meng Hongchen, a girl who was extremely important in Lin Nuo's memory, she didn't act like Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er in the original work, competing for favor and bickering. Instead, she got along very well with Meng Hongchen.

Perhaps because she was the real newcomer this time, she intentionally or unintentionally placed herself half a step behind Meng Hongchen during the conversation, so that Xiao Meng would not feel that her "first wife status" was being challenged.

Before long, the two of them were actually calling each other sisters in a very affectionate way.

Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen looked at each other, both seeing helplessness and confusion in each other's eyes.

Xiao Hongchen was alright, since he didn't know Qingdi's background and hadn't read the script, so he didn't have much of an opinion on it. But Lin Nuo was a bit surprised. Even though it had been mentioned many times, he was still shocked by it.

This is nothing like the imperial auspicious beast in the original work. It's a bit too humble and friendly, isn't it?

And Meng Hongchen, he accepted Qingdi so easily?

Lin Nuo was a little confused. He thought he would have to step in and mediate to ensure harmony in the harem, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't have to do it at all.

However, seeing Meng Hongchen and Qingdi getting along harmoniously made him happy. He didn't care how jealous or dissatisfied they were in front of him in private, as long as they didn't cause any palace intrigue or cold war between them.

Men, they all dream of having a harem, so they have to take on some responsibility.

Lin Nuo felt that there was no harm in having more of these things.

While Meng Hongchen and Qingdi chatted about their girlish secrets, Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen took a box of osmanthus cakes and went outside to eat desserts and bask in the sun.

"How's it going? The competition is about to start. Are there any opponents worth paying attention to this time?" Lin Nuo asked, biting off a corner of the pastry and speaking somewhat indistinctly.

Oh, Xiaomeng's cooking is so good!

We're in for a treat!

Lin Nuo inhaled rapidly, using his healing powers on the Osmanthus Cake, stuffing it into his mouth piece after piece.

"Leave some for me—" Xiao Hongchen wasn't going to be outdone, and while fighting with Lin Nuo for food, he answered intermittently, "It's still the same few, Shrek Academy and the Royal Academy of Douluo Three Kingdoms, but this year's Royal Academy teams aren't very good. They can't even field three Soul Emperors in three teams, so they pose no threat at all."

"On the contrary, because of this competition, the Imperial government has expanded the scope of participation to include sects. I have heard that several powerful sects have already signed up to participate, among which the most famous are the Body Sect and the Profound Nether Sect."

The Body Sect is famous for its powerful strength and domineering style, while the Profound Nether Sect is famous for its pill business.

Even in the Sun and Moon Empire, the pills of the Xuanming Sect are very popular.

As for the Body Sect, since the Snow Emperor's embryo in this world was eaten by Lin Nuo from the beginning, the Body Sect did not receive any news and therefore did not invade Mingde Hall. Having no enmity with the Sun Moon Empire, they directly and openly participated in the competition under the name of the Body Sect.

Other sects such as the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Earthly Dragon Sect, Bright Jade Sect, and Proud Sword Sect were only mentioned briefly before being glossed over. His absolute strength made him feel no sense of crisis towards these sects.

"Oh, by the way, besides these sects, I think there's another sect you might be interested in." Xiao Hongchen seemed to remember something and stopped stuffing osmanthus cake into his mouth.

"What?" Lin Nuo looked up in confusion and finished off the last piece of osmanthus cake.

"It can't be the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, can it?"

"Not them, but they're close. They're all one of the so-called Three Upper Sects in the history of Douluo Three Kingdoms." Xiao Hongchen shook his head.

"It's the Haotian Sect."

"It's actually them—" Lin Nuo got excited and looked at Xiao Hongchen with great interest.

"Yes, it's them. I didn't expect that even they would come out this time." Xiao Hongchen nodded and said, "They entered Mingdu yesterday morning and haven't left the Mingyue Hotel since they registered. Originally, our people didn't even notice this sect, after all, they have been in seclusion for too long."

"Perhaps in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the name of the Clear Sky Sect has never been forgotten, but in our Sun Moon Empire, almost no one knows about the existence of the Clear Sky Sect. Our people only noticed them because the Clear Sky Sect's contestants were very strong."

Let alone the ordinary people of the Sun Moon Empire, even Xiao Hongchen himself, when asked what powerful sects existed in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, would subconsciously overlook the Haotian Sect.

This sect is extremely low-key. Not only do no disciples venture out into the world, but they don't even have any businesses outside the sect.

Are the people of Haotian Sect raised on air? Don't they need to earn money to support their families?

After investigating the pitifully small number of people in the Haotian Sect, Xiao Hongchen expressed his incomprehension.

Even when the Body Sect went into seclusion, their affiliated forces continued to make money however they pleased, otherwise, how would they afford to provide their disciples with medicinal baths and nutritional supplements?

Even the Haotian Sect doesn't use it?
