Gu Yue heard this, and a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
The expression on Huo Yuhao's face told her that the interesting story he spoke of was definitely not simple.
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at her, a hint of a smile hanging on the corners of his mouth, and slowly said: "Do you still remember what I joked with you about before? I said Tang San's father might also have been arranged by him on the Douluo Continent."
Gu Yue was slightly startled, and past memories immediately surfaced in her heart.
At that time, she only took it as a joke and didn't care too much.
But at this moment, as Huo Yuhao brought up the past matter again, her brows raised, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she blurted out: "It couldn't be?"
Looking at Gu Yue's expression, Huo Yuhao knew that she had guessed it.
Huo Yuhao nodded, no longer keeping her in suspense, and directly said: "That's right, Tang San's father is indeed on the continent."
"This..."
Gu Yue opened her mouth, momentarily not knowing what to say.
In order to control the Douluo Continent, Sea God Tang San actually sent both of his parents down to the Lower Realm. Such methods truly left people somewhat speechless.
Huo Yuhao continued: "Every plane has two things that are most important. One is the life core, which is the foundation governing the circulation of the plane's vitality, and the other is the plane master, which is the highest will maintaining the execution of the Law."
"Under normal circumstances, both the life core and the plane master have no self-consciousness, completely operating automatically according to the plane's inherent Law, impartially."
"But under Tang San's arrangement, his mother, Ah Yin, has already devoured the life core. That is to say, today's Douluo Continent life core is no longer an unconscious force of rules, but has Ah Yin's will dominating within it."
Hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, and those scattered clues in her mind instantly connected, forming a deduction.
She spoke before Huo Yuhao could, saying: "So, Tang San wants to let his father become the plane master?"
Huo Yuhao nodded: "Correct. Now the consciousness of the Douluo Plane has been suppressed to the minimum limit, and Tang Hao has actually been considered to have taken the position of the plane master."
Speaking of this, the corner of his mouth curved into a sneer, and his voice revealed a bit of derision: "Tang Hao and Ah Yin originally shared the glory and ascended to the Divine Realm because Tang San became a Divinity. In terms of cultivation, they were only at the divine officer level."
"But once this plan is completely completed, with Ah Yin devouring the life core and Tang Hao replacing the plane master, the two of them will be able to soar in one leap using the power of the entire plane, possessing strength equivalent to a Tier 2 Divinity."
"By then, the entire Douluo Continent will also be completely under the control of Tang San's family."
After listening, Gu Yue could not help feeling a lingering fear in her heart.
She lowered her eyes and pondered, originally thinking that her previous plotting was already meticulous enough, advancing step by step, taking all factors into consideration.
But now, learning of these lingering moves planted by Tang San on the Douluo Continent, she realized that if she were to continue walking along her original plan, I am afraid that not only would she fail at the last hurdle, but even she herself would fall into Tang San's hands.
She calmly turned her head to the side, her peripheral vision sweeping a glance at Huo Yuhao beside her.
Gu Yue's heart stirred slightly, secretly thinking that it was fortunate to have him.
If not for Huo Yuhao discovering these abnormalities and digging out these hidden lines step by step, she would probably have been kept in the dark until the very last moment.
Suppressing her mixed thoughts, Gu Yue steadied herself and said: "However, Tang San would never have expected that after the Divine Realm disappeared, someone on the Douluo Continent could still become a Divinity."
"Now those arrangements of his have already been seen through by you. Although we still don't know what Tang San's ultimate goal is, these arrangements are destined to fall through. How do you plan to deal with Tang Hao and Ah Yin?"
Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately. He slightly narrowed his eyes, as if weighing this matter in his heart.
A moment later, he slowly said: "No rush, let's wait until the matter of the Holy Spirit Cult is dealt with first."
"Tang Hao, Ah Yin, as well as Da Ming and Er Ming, will all be left until then to be dealt with."
...
Last time, the Holy Spirit Cult secretly sabotaged the Blood God Great Array, causing the Abyss Plane to take advantage of the void and massively invade the Douluo Continent.
Although that battle ultimately ended with the Federation's victory, and Chen Gong stopped the invasion of the abyss army, the price paid was extremely heavy.
Especially the Blood God Legion stationed year-round in the Endless Mountains, whose casualties exceeded one-third.
Many of those veteran soldiers who stood firm in the wind and snow for half their lives were never able to return to their hometowns again.
This blood debt is remembered by everyone up and down the Federation. Toward the Holy Spirit Cult, this group of human traitors who act as jackals for the tiger, the hatred has long since penetrated deep into the bone marrow, waiting only for liquidation.
When the Spirit Pagoda sent the investigated intelligence to the Federation headquarters, it initially did not attract enough attention.
After all, those coordinate points were too precise, and the names on the list were too detailed, simply as if someone had turned the Holy Spirit Cult's family background upside down.
However, holding an attitude of rather hitting nothing than letting anyone go, the Federation still sent a few powerhouses to the locations provided by the Spirit Pagoda to investigate on-site.
The result shocked everyone; those locations were actually the secret strongholds of the Holy Spirit Cult, and a group of evil-doing Evil Soul Masters were caught red-handed and brought to justice on the spot.
With this conclusive and infallible successful experience, the Federation finally paid complete attention, realizing that the intelligence in the Spirit Pagoda's hands was definitely not unfounded.
Thus, the federal government operated at full strength, mobilizing almost all the forces it could mobilize, while sending invitations to various Sects and aristocratic families, assembling a joint suppression team composed of top powerhouses.
The various factions split into multiple routes, launching surprise attacks at the same time on the Evil Soul Master strongholds scattered all over the continent.
To avoid pursuit and suppression, the Holy Spirit Cult dispersed and hid its members all over the continent.
Although this approach avoided the risk of being wiped out in one net, it also gave the Federation the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Since the Federation's multiple parties acted almost at the exact same moment, messages were completely too late to be communicated among the Evil Soul Masters, and the isolated strongholds were uprooted one after another.
Even the top figure of the Holy Spirit Cult, Pluto Douluo Harosa, failed to escape this calamity.
Under the joint siege of several Federation Limit Douluo, Harosa's Pluto Domain was suppressed layer by layer, and ultimately he drank hatred on the spot, becoming the most heavyweight figure to fall in this battle.
The Holy Spirit Cult has One Emperor, Two Emperors, and Four Heavenly Kings, each of whom is a top powerhouse among Evil Soul Masters.
However, with this thunderous suppression operation by the Federation, the Four Heavenly Kings were all executed, and the Pluto among the Two Emperors had also died.
Today's Holy Spirit Cult, on the surface, the truly remaining powerhouses are only the Demon Emperor whose true face no one has ever seen, and the Ghost Emperor who attacked Shrek Academy back then.
On the boundless sea, a fleet like a steel behemoth split the waves. The fleet suddenly decelerated from a high-speed state, and finally stopped steadily on the surface of the sea.
Waves beat against the ship's sides, stirring up layers of white foam. The fleet's array gleamed with a chilling gloss under the sunlight, exuding an aura of solemn killing.
On the deck of the central flagship, an old man wearing a crisp military uniform stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the aura of a veteran who had experienced many battles.
His white hair was combed meticulously, completely undisturbed in the sea breeze. His wrinkled face was currently full of solemnity, his brows slightly knitted, and his gaze looked heavily towards the distant place where the sea and sky met.
The three general stars on his shoulders shone brilliantly in the sunlight, demonstrating his status in the federal military.
He is precisely one of the only three generals of the Federation, Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie.
According to the intelligence provided by the Spirit Pagoda, that elusive Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult is hiding in this vast and boundless sea area.
The Federation attached great importance to this. After weighing it repeatedly, they handed the task of subduing the demon to Chen Xinjie, to be fully responsible by the Sea God Legion he commanded.
After all, maritime combat was inherently the Sea God Legion's signature skill, and Chen Xinjie's own strength was also sufficient to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
Beside Chen Xinjie, there also stood two figures, one male and one female, with extraordinary demeanors.
The male is Amorous Douluo Zang Xin. He was invited to come this time precisely to lend Chen Xinjie a hand, joining forces to deal with that mysterious Demon Emperor.
As for the female, she is Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, who has not walked on the continent for many years. The reason she accompanied them was not for the Demon Emperor, but because the Ghost Emperor was also in this sea area.
In Ya Li's heart, the Ghost Emperor was the chief culprit who destroyed Shrek Academy back then and caused the death of Yun Ming.
The blood and fire of that day had always been an indelible brand in her heart.
Now learning that the Ghost Emperor was right here, Ya Li volunteered to rush over almost without any hesitation.
