"Senior Sister, since I'm going, I naturally have my confidence."
Nana hesitated for a long time but finally gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"I'll do my best to cooperate with you."
She had a deep understanding of the terror of Evil Spirit Masters.
But the white flame Su Ming just displayed was too obviously effective at restraining resentful spirits.
The Evil Spirit Masters at the Holy Spirit Cult branch she belonged to specialized in controlling resentful spirits, which happened to be perfectly countered by Su Ming's white flame.
After she finished speaking, her expression remained hesitant.
"Senior Sister, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Su Ming, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Senior Sister, please speak. If I can help, I certainly will. After all, in the Body Sect, we are all one family." Su Ming, of course, knew what Nana was thinking, but he still needed her to voice the request herself.
"I hope you can help rescue my parents, they..."
Nana narrated her story.
"I know it's very difficult, so I don't expect you to rescue my parents this time. For safety's sake, I'll take you to contact one Evil Spirit Master this time, but I won't take you to the stronghold I know. You can research him if you want to study Evil Spirit Masters."
"My parents are held very tightly by them. Saving them is very difficult and requires slowly looking for an opportunity."
Su Ming showed a surprised expression.
This Senior Sister Nana was quite clever.
"That's the Evil Spirit Master you liaise with, right? If he dies, won't you be in trouble?"
"Evil Spirit Masters don't care about that. They know that as long as they control my parents, they control me. They just need to change the contact person." Nana said coldly.
The corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched.
Typical Evil Spirit Master behavior.
"Alright then, let's capture one Evil Spirit Master to research first."
Su Ming could feel Nana slowly opening up, but she still had reservations. He wasn't pushy either.
Wiping out an entire Evil Spirit Master stronghold from top to bottom would have too great an impact.
Although Xu Tianran cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult and had long wanted to backstab, if an entire Holy Spirit Cult stronghold were wiped out now, the cult would certainly retaliate and carry out large-scale massacres within the Sun Moon Empire.
It wasn't that Su Ming was afraid, but the timing for wiping out the stronghold needed to be chosen carefully.
If done quietly, without any faction's cooperation, the consequences would be completely uncontrollable.
To put it plainly, they needed to find a faction to take the blame.
And the most suitable faction with the capability to take the blame was actually Mingde Hall.
"This isn't the kind of faith I need."
Su Ming felt the additional faith within his body and was somewhat bewildered.
"This is relatively pure faith, given by those resentful spirits thanking you," Electrolux said.
Although he had figured out the mechanics of this faith, his expression was not good.
Noticing this, Su Ming immediately asked the reason.
"Elder Yi, is there a problem with this faith?"
"The faith itself isn't problematic, but the appearance of the faith is highly problematic. You have no divine rank whatsoever, yet you acquired this faith out of thin air," Electrolux said coldly.
Su Ming shuddered, realizing the core of Electrolux's concern.
"You mean, the Holy Spirit Cult tortured these resentful spirits, turning them into their previous state, precisely so that one day a strange 'saint' could purify them?"
"Correct." Electrolux said, "You know the situation on the Douluo Continent better. Is there any circumstance that can verify this?"
Su Ming's expression turned grave.
"Powerful Evil Spirit Masters have Spirit Ring ages that differ from the norm."
"That confirms it then. This pure faith can just be integrated into Spirit Rings."
Electrolux indicated the case was practically solved.
"Not only that, based on what you said, Evil Spirit Masters find cultivation difficult after reaching the Titled Douluo level, yet some still manage to climb higher despite the drawbacks. They probably rely on this pure faith to compensate for the deficiencies in their cultivation."
"A bunch of beasts!"
Su Ming cursed angrily.
"Elder Yi, this faith..."
"The culprit isn't you. You can use it directly. Just don't, knowing about such 'good stuff', deliberately stimulate an evil faction to continue such actions and then come out to reap the rewards in the end," Electrolux said.
The corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched.
He felt Electrolux was implying something.
"Do you remember that child named Huo Yuhao from back then?"
"I remember."
"Hmm, the divine power emanating from him at the time felt very similar to the aura of the resentful spirits created by this Holy Spirit Cult. If that divine power within him has a root source, then once he enters the Holy Spirit Cult, that divine power would rapidly multiply, leading him into an abyss of eternal suffering."
Su Ming sucked in a cold breath.
Divine power, resentful spirits...
Back then, he didn't understand the source of the deep purple energy that emerged from Huo Yuhao, but now he had some vague ideas.
"If I had only transmigrated to Soul Land II, I might not have been able to figure it out."
At this moment, the Su Ming from the Soul Land I era stopped his work and looked up in the direction of Spirit City.
"Tang San intercepted fragments of the shattered Rakshasa Godhood? Huo Yuhao has Rakshasa God's divine power within him..."
With this starting point, a series of thoughts rapidly emerged in Su Ming's mind.
"Has the plot changed?"
"No."
"Elder Yi's appearance was an accident. I took Elder Yi, and Tang San didn't intercept him, clearly thinking the same. So, in Tang San's initial preparations, the role filled by Elder Yi was supposed to be played by the Rakshasa God's divine power!"
"Yes, that's right! Wang Dong has the Sea God's divine power, the Sea God's phantom, making him a sort of alternative triple Martial Spirit. If Huo Yuhao needed to correspond to him, it could only be by having another corresponding divine power. The Rakshasa God fits perfectly."
"Tang San wouldn't give Huo Yuhao the Sea Godhood; he was always planning to scheme for the Emotion Godhood. The Emotion God..."
"The fragments of the Rakshasa Godhood are indeed somewhat related to emotions."
Su Ming felt everything fell into place.
Whew...
Good, it wasn't that the plot was wrong.
Nana's execution was top-notch.
At Su Ming's request, she quickly took him to an underground casino in the Sun Moon Imperial Capital and entered a hidden room.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Su Ming opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
A sinister, cold aura permeated from outside the door.
"Elder Yi, isolate it."
"Don't worry."
The door opened.
A figure shrouded in a cloak entered the room.
"Why is there an outsider here?"
A hoarse voice came from under the cloak, carrying a trace of anger.
Nana didn't say anything else, just quickly closed the door and activated a Spirit Tool.
In the other three corners of the room, corresponding Spirit Tools lit up, rapidly connecting with the one in Nana's hand to form a light barrier.
The purpose of this barrier was obvious: to isolate Spirit Power fluctuations.
"Heh heh heh heh..."
The person under the cloak laughed maniacally, with a hint of disdain.
His body shook, causing the cloak to flip open, revealing a face like a desiccated corpse hidden beneath it.
His eyes burned with eerie green flames, his face was nothing but skin and bones, as if all his flesh and blood had been sucked dry.
"Nana, your judgment is getting worse."
"Finding a kid even younger than you, and you think you can take action against me?"
