Chapter 143: The Holy Spirit Cult's Branches Were Suppressed
Chapter 143 The Holy Spirit Cult's branch was destroyed (2)
"You must know something to be reacting so strongly. Tell me about it."
Su Yu continued to sit at his table, carving a soul-guiding array.
"Why don't you want to talk? If you don't want to, I won't force you. Remember to turn left when you go out and close the door behind you."
Seeing Nana's hesitant expression, Su Yu waved his hand. Anyway, he had already done what he needed to do. As long as Nana still wanted to rescue her parents' souls, she would naturally come to him.
After hesitating for a moment, Nana seemed to have made a decision. She gritted her teeth and slammed the door shut.
The force with which the door was slammed shut startled Su Yu. "Are you sure you're not going to demolish the house?"
"Su Yu, I beg you, please help me..."
Just as Su Yu frowned, Nana knelt down not far in front of him, her eyes quickly reddening.
"Get up! If you don't get up, no matter what you say, I won't help you."
Su Yu didn't look up, continuing to examine the soul tool in his hand. If Nana continued to abandon everything to beg for help, in the future, if she became a member of the Myriad Mirrors Sect, she would forever live in her own shadow and would never achieve anything great.
This is not a good thing for Su Yu, nor is it a good thing for the Myriad Mirrors Sect.
"I, I..."
Nana shook her head in anguish, and the tears she had stopped flowing again.
"Get up, or get out."
Under Su Yu's firm stance, Nana slowly stood up and sat down in the original seat.
"Can I tell you a story?" Nana asked timidly.
"Do you think you'd listen if I didn't let you speak?"
…………
After hearing a tragic backstory, Nana's already volatile emotions began to spiral out of control.
"Concentrate and purify your mind."
Within Su Yu's concealed brow, a third eye swiftly opened, and a gentle power flowed into Nana's mind through her eyes.
A few minutes later, Nana slowly opened her eyes, and her breathing and emotions had returned to normal.
"Your emotions are very unstable. If it weren't for me, you might have gotten lost in them and never woken up."
These things are definitely related to those people in the Holy Spirit Cult. Otherwise, at most, they would have some psychological trauma like Huo Yuhao, but it would never have reached this level.
Nana said with some shame, "I'm sorry, I've fallen into that nightmare again. But I know I can't drag you into this. I'm sorry."
"You're probably talking about the Holy Spirit Cult, right? After all, I can't think of any other organization that could cause someone so much pain and fear. If you don't tell me now, there really won't be anyone who can help you when I don't have time later."
Su Yu called out to Nana, who was about to leave. Now that he had made up his mind, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.
"How do you know about the Holy Spirit Cult? Could it be that you also..." Under Nana's terrified gaze, she slowly took two steps back.
Su Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "Before I participated in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, I had already participated in the crackdown on evil soul masters as a member of the Shrek Academy's inspection team. I naturally have a deep understanding of the Holy Spirit Cult. Otherwise, why do you think we only had three regular members participating in the last tournament?"
"If you can save my parents' souls, I, Nana, am willing to be their slave. I hate this academy, I even hate this corrupt country..."
Having witnessed the collusion between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Mingde Hall, Nana had long since lost hope in the academy and the country.
Su Yu put down his carving knife, looked into the despairing eyes of the girl before him, and slowly said, "What I really want to ask is, why do you trust me so much?"
Nana stared at him with her slightly red and swollen eyes. "To you, it seems there's nothing about me that you'd cherish. You're not even interested in my body. You can easily control my soul without harming me. Now I can't find anyone I can trust anymore. As long as you can save my parents, I'll do whatever you ask of me in the future, willingly."
"Enough of that for now. Tell me where the Holy Spirit Cult's branches are located, and I'll arrange for people to be there."
All we need to know now is where the Holy Spirit Cult is. As for anything else, there's no need to worry about combat strength. After all, Elder Chen is definitely in the Sun Moon Empire, and he's protecting his mother, Mu Hanyan's, safety.
Nana said, "From what I understand, the Holy Spirit Cult is a very mysterious organization. I've only ever been in contact with one of their branches. There are probably more than twenty people in this Mingdu. But there are only three or four true core members. The rest are mostly peripheral members. But even these peripheral members have at least the cultivation level of Soul Master."
"What's strange is that the Holy Spirit Cult is in the Sun Moon Empire, but they have very few Soul Masters; almost all of them are Soul Masters. The most powerful core member I've ever seen is probably a seven-ring Soul Saint. Even though he's only a seven-ring Soul Saint, he gives me a feeling of unfathomable depth."
"In this branch, the seven-ring Soul Saint I mentioned is called an elder. Every time I see him, he wears a black hood over his face, with only his eyes showing. Apart from him, the other core members are called Holy Spirit Disciples."
"The peripheral members are called Holy Servants. I am now considered a Holy Servant as well. Every time we go to the branch, we must first conceal our appearance. In other words, even if we Holy Servants meet in normal times, it is difficult for us to recognize each other."
"Only the elders know what we look like. The elder told me that as long as my cultivation reaches the sixth ring, he will petition the main altar to make me a disciple of the Holy Spirit and to ascend my spirit."
Hearing this structure, Su was reminded of the composition of some evil force on Earth, a certain...
"What a ridiculous Holy Spirit! Once this Holy Spirit takes hold, you will surely become their complete slave."
Su Yu knew that this kind of Holy Spirit was very likely similar to what had happened to Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya before, erasing their emotions and memories, turning them into unconscious puppets.
Nana nodded and said, "You're right. Although the doctrine sounds very abstract, like 'Let the holy light shine on the world and let the Holy Spirit descend upon humanity,' the elder said that once I go through the ascension ceremony, my father's and mother's souls can be released. But I can feel that if I really go through that ceremony, I'm afraid I won't be myself anymore."
"Then let's discuss a detailed plan. If we rush in rashly and alert the enemy, then there will be absolutely no hope left."
Su Yu was actually quite clear about this. He was already level 50, but he hadn't had time to acquire a spirit ring yet. After resolving the matter with the Holy Spirit Cult, he would be able to start working on acquiring the next spirit ring.
"With your and my abilities, do we really have a chance of winning? You only seem to be at the fourth ring..." Nana had her doubts. Although she also hoped to succeed, could the two of them really do it?
"Don't you believe me?" Looking at the girl in front of him, Su really couldn't bear to tell him that someone as powerful as Luo Yu, who was incredibly famous in the academy, was also his clone.
If I were to tell her, her worldview would probably be completely shattered...
…………
After Nana left, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that things were going very smoothly.
About half a month later, it was time for Nana to meet her parents again. To avoid suspicion, Su Yu went out early and went to the street outside the academy.
Before long, a tall, slender figure slowly walked out of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Her dark red hair was styled into a neat ponytail, and her black outfit concealed much of her allure in the evening light.
"Looks like you're pretty punctual. Are you sure you don't want to call some other people to help?" Nana asked, looking at Su Yu all alone.
Su Yu waved his hand and said, "No need. Someone will come to help if necessary."
Nonsense. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Su Yu had already notified Elder Chen. Elder Chen should still be waiting quietly in secret.
Without a Title Douluo present, practically no one can harm Elder Chen. This is Su Yu's last trump card and the strongest fighting force of the Su family!
If Elder Chen hadn't been seriously injured back then, he would probably have truly broken through to the Title Douluo level by now. But unfortunately, also because of the Holy Spirit Sect, Elder Chen's strength is still only at the level of a Soul Saint at level 79.
"Let's go then. Put on the cloak, and you'll pretend to be a holy servant I recruited, just follow behind me." He put on a white hood, then a white hood with draped curtains, and strode off toward his target.
"No need for that trouble, just go."
Su Yu silently recited a spell, and then his figure twisted and slowly disappeared from her sight.
"Where are you? I can't see you!" To Nana's surprise, Su Yu simply vanished from her sight.
As she finished speaking, Su Yu's figure slowly appeared in front of her. "Actually, I've always been in front of you, but I've become exactly the same as the surrounding light."
Su Yu then disappeared again, but Nana still maintained a connection with him in her mind.
After walking for half an hour, Nana slowed down. Looking at an inconspicuous building in the distance, she murmured to herself, "We're here. It's about 300 meters ahead, in that courtyard. The building inside has a black roof."
"Don't worry, I'm still here."
If it weren't for the fact that soul tools can't be used casually, she probably would have arrived here long ago. This courtyard was inconspicuous among the many buildings around it. Nana raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, knocking five times in total, three long and two short.
The door quietly opened a crack, and Nana slipped through it in a flash.
The person who opened the door was a young man dressed entirely in black, also wearing a bamboo hat.
It seems that the Holy Spirit Cult has also secretly developed a considerable number of people through other means. Although Yuanzi appears glamorous, his true nature may not be so.
This courtyard is almost exactly the same as the original one, filled with plants.
The reason it's covered in plants isn't because these people have a particular hobby, but rather to block out the view from the outside world; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a cover-up.
The man wearing a straw hat nodded slightly to Nana and then stepped aside. Nana nodded back and hurried along a path toward the black-domed building in the center of the courtyard.
After traveling for some time, they still hadn't found Su Yu. This time, however, Nana took out a token, gave it to the two men for confirmation, and then returned it to Nana.
Nana walked into the house. The house was simply furnished, looking like an ordinary home, without any particularly luxurious decorations. Nana walked to a table, raised her hand, and pressed down on it.
The reason these things were arranged in such a complicated way was so that if something unexpected happened to Fang Zhi, at least the secret could be preserved. As long as the other party could not find any clues, he could even escape a disaster.
Suddenly, the four table legs slowly sank into the ground. Accompanied by the creaking of the mechanism, an entrance of about one square meter appeared on the side of the table, through which a sliver of light shone.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the two places Nana had mentioned.
Two people sat on either side of the innermost table, also dressed in white and wearing hoods. Their white robes, however, had silver decorative patterns on them. They were eating and drinking, the table laden with exquisite food and drink, their hoods pulled up to just above their noses.
Nana quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Holy Servant Number Six pays respects to the Great Holy Spirit and the Two Holy Spirits."
These two must be the two sixth-ring disciples that Nana mentioned. Judging from their strength, Su Yu realized that these two guys were indeed far inferior to Ji Juechen.
As Nana walked to the small door, the Second Holy Spirit sniffed around and then said, "Wait, you seem to smell like a living person?"
As he spoke, he began to walk towards where Nana was. Just as Nana was about to make her move, Su Yu's voice rang in her mind: "Don't panic, he can't find me."
After hearing Su Yu's words, Nana breathed a sigh of relief and stood quietly in place, without the slightest panic.
I knew long ago that you had a nose like a dog's. I had already covered up all my scent with my soul tool. The stranger scent on Nana was just something I accidentally picked up at the academy.
"You must be smelling something wrong, kid. There's no one around here." Da Shengling said irritably.
However, after the two Holy Spirits circled around Nana, they found nothing and had to give up.
However, just as the two Holy Spirits were about to leave, a cold light flashed by and passed through their bodies in an instant. Before they could react, the cold light pierced through their bodies.
