Chapter 72 Surfaced
Near noon the next day, the defenders in Tianming City saw a strange team from afar.
Walking in the front were three tied-up men dressed in black, followed by a young-looking man, then a group of children, and finally another young man.
It was Wang Nan and his group who were rushing towards Tianming City.
After a night's rest, although Wang Nan's left arm was still painful, he was able to do a few simple movements.
At this time, he was walking in the middle of the team, with three evil soul masters in front of him, and the group of children behind him. The last one in the team was naturally Gong Yang Mo.
Not long after Wang Nan and his party saw Tianming City, Pan Yue from the city came out with a team to greet them.
At this time, Pan Yue also released his martial soul. Four soul rings surrounded him. He held a long spear in his hand, and green light continued to flow on the spear.
"Thank you both for your hard work." Pan Yue held the long spear in both hands and bowed to Wang Nan.
"It's my job, Captain Pan. Thank you for being so polite." Wang Nan also returned the greeting, and then said, "Behind me are the children who were taken away by the evil soul master."
Wang Nan pointed at the three people in front of him and said, "These three people are the members of the evil soul masters. I think Captain Pan must have a lot to ask them."
Pan Yue took a look at the tied-up evil soul master and quickly signaled the soldiers behind him to come forward.
"Thank you. We will take care of these people. As for these children... we will also take care of them. We will investigate their origins and see if we can find their parents."
"That's fine." Wang Nan nodded.
……
Wang Nan and Gong Yangmo returned to the guest room that Dai Hao had arranged for them. It was not until the evening that someone knocked on the door.
Gong Yangmo opened the door and saw that the person who came was not Pan Yue, but Duke of White Tiger Dai Hao.
"Marshal, please come in."
Wang Nan heard the noise and also stood up.
"You're welcome, both of you." Dai Hao looked unhappy. He walked in and sat down at the table, then forced a smile. "It is said that heroes emerge from youth since ancient times. You two are indeed outstanding disciples of Shrek Academy. It only took you one night to solve the evil spirit master problem that troubled me."
"You are overpraising us, Marshal. We are just lucky."
"Alas, if it were an ordinary person, even if he had this luck, he might not be able to successfully get rid of this group of evil soul masters." Dai Hao waved his hand and stopped being polite to Wang Nan. He changed the subject and talked about the group of children.
"We have investigated all the children you brought with you. Only four of them were separated from their families when they were fleeing. We have already contacted their parents. As for the remaining eight children, their parents..."
Dai Hao didn't continue, but Wang Nan understood. This was the style of evil spirit masters. In other words, it was fortunate that these evil spirit masters were trying to hide their tracks, otherwise there would be more than just these eight children who became orphans.
"Then what are the Marshal's plans for these children?" "This is the front line after all. I plan to send someone to send them to Xingluo City. They all have innate soul power and will have the opportunity to become soul masters in the future. I'm sure there will be many people who want to take them in."
Wang Nan thought about it, but found that he didn't seem to have any better way to deal with it, so he could only nod helplessly.
"By the way, we have also interrogated the three evil soul masters you brought with you." Dai Hao frowned when he said this, "but the news is all bad. These evil soul masters are not ordinary evil soul masters. According to them, they come from a sect called Holy Spirit Religion."
"These three people are only from a branch in the Mingdou Mountains. Even they themselves don't know the exact location of the Holy Spirit Church. Only the two elders in the branch know where the headquarters is."
"According to what they said, there are two main groups of disciples in the Holy Spirit Church. One group is the official Holy Spirit disciples, and these Holy Spirit disciples are all evil soul masters."
"The composition of the other part is more complicated. Although they are all soul masters, not all of them are evil soul masters. These disciples are also called holy servants. Once the soul power level of a holy servant with an evil martial soul reaches level 60, a soul-raising ceremony will be held and they will officially become disciples of the Holy Spirit Church."
"In their branch, there are two elders. One of them has reached the level of Soul Saint. The other has never taken action, but his strength is definitely not lower than the seventh ring."
"And the few people you captured are specifically responsible for finding children with innate soul power in the Holy Spirit Church. All their actions near Tianming City are precisely to find holy servants for the Holy Spirit Church."
Wang Nan was lucky because he knew about the existence of the Holy Spirit Church in advance. But Gong Yangmo's eyes widened at this time. He never thought that the evil soul master who was hated by everyone on Douluo Continent actually had a sect.
Moreover, from the description I heard that this sect is not small. It even has different divisions of labor, perfect promotion channels and a complete organizational structure. It is definitely not a simple sect.
"Marshal, I'm afraid you have something else to say?" Wang Nan looked at Dai Hao and saw that he was still frowning after he finished talking about the Holy Spirit Church, so he asked.
"Well, to be honest, these evil soul masters were captured by you two, and you should know these things. Although these evil soul masters are not in a high position and do not know all the situations of the Holy Spirit Church, they have seen traces of the Sun Moon Empire's high-level officials in their branch."
Wang Nan didn't know what to say. The Holy Spirit Cult seemed to be hiding its whereabouts everywhere, but it didn't know how to cover up when it came into contact with the Sun Moon Empire. There was no telling how many people had seen it during its trip. It was really not professional in hiding.
Dai Hao didn't know what Wang Nan was thinking, so he continued, "I will write to your majesty later, detailing the situation of the Holy Spirit Church and my guesses. I also hope that you two can bring this news to Shrek Academy."
"Okay, this is what we should do." Wang Nan agreed.
Dai Hao stood up after he finished speaking, glanced at Wang Nan's left arm and asked, "I see your left arm seems to be injured, do you want to find a military doctor to help you take a look?"
Dai Hao had been in the army for many years, and although the injuries on Wang Nan's body were not very obvious, he could still see them at a glance.
"Thank you, Marshal, but it's not necessary. I just have a few broken bones and muscles. My meridians are not damaged. I will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Alright." Dai Hao nodded. "I will arrange a team to send the eight children to Xingluo City tomorrow. If you two don't mind, you can come with me. Firstly, it will be easier for them to heal their wounds on the way. Secondly, I will feel more at ease with you two protecting me."
"In that case, thank you very much, Marshal."
Thanks to Xiaohei for his support
