Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 463 Xu Tianran, a Prisoner
Having dealt with the outer guards, Lin You turned his gaze to the center of the altar.

There, indeed, were dozens of people with blank expressions, dressed in servants' attire; these were the "holy servants" controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult. Behind the altar, behind a tightly closed bronze door, countless mournful wails and resentments could be faintly heard.

When the holy servants saw Lin You and Nana, they were initially terrified, but when they saw Nana's face clearly, they became bewildered.

Lin You ignored them and walked straight towards the small bronze door. He could clearly sense the dense, impenetrable resentment of the souls behind the door.

"This is it!" Nana pointed excitedly at the door, her voice trembling.

Lin You nodded, placed his palm on the cold bronze door, and instantly condensed the power of tungsten element. With a soft "crack," the seemingly solid soul power restriction on the door was forcibly broken by him.

This kind of confinement is purely superficial.

Perhaps he was just too strong?
He gave it a sharp push, and the heavy bronze door slowly opened.

"Woo——"

A visible stream of milky-white air surged out of the door like a burst dam, accompanied by the mournful cries of countless liberated souls.

Those milky white streams of air are the innocent souls imprisoned here!

"Dad! Mom!" Nana cried out in anguish and rushed inside without thinking.

Among the countless swirling specks of soul light, she immediately recognized two familiar yet illusory figures.

“Nana… my daughter…” Two weak, ethereal souls floated before Nana, filled with reluctance and love.

"Dad! Mom!"

Nana could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. She embraced her parents' souls tightly and wept bitterly.

The other holy servants within the altar, witnessing the release of countless souls, also stirred with excitement. Many of them found their long-awaited relatives among those souls. For a moment, the entire underground altar resounded with cries of sorrow and joy at long-awaited reunions.

Lin You stood silently to the side, not disturbing them.

After a long while, Nana, supporting her parents' illusory souls, walked to Lin You, knelt down deeply again, and kowtowed three times.

"Junior Brother Lin You, Nana will never forget your great kindness!"

"No, you mustn't. Get up quickly." Lin You hurriedly helped her up.

At this moment, the holy servants who had briefly reunited with the souls of their loved ones also came over one after another, and knelt down before Lin You with excited expressions.

"Thank you so much, benefactor, for saving the souls of our family members! We are willing to serve you as our master, even at the cost of our lives!"

Their voices were filled with genuine gratitude. The imprisonment of their family members' souls by the Holy Spirit Cult was their greatest pain and shackle.

Lin You has not only freed them from the clutches of the Holy Spirit Cult, but also reunited them with their families. This kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Looking at the people before him whose eyes had been rekindled with hope, Lin You smiled and said, "Master, there's no need for that. Now that you've regained your freedom, go and read more books, learn some skills, and live with dignity. That's better than anything else."

Knowledge changes destiny.

He paused, then continued, "The Holy Spirit Cult has poisoned the continent. Now is the time for us Soul Masters to rise up and completely eradicate them. If you are willing, join the ranks of those who are restoring order and contribute your strength to creating a new world without evil Soul Masters."

Lin You's words were like a beacon in their hearts. Yes, they were free, and their loved ones were liberated. They were no longer puppets to be manipulated; they could start anew, and do something meaningful for themselves and for those who had suffered at the hands of evil spirit masters!
Finally, I can start anew!

Nana and the group of holy servants who had regained their freedom expressed their gratitude profusely, but Lin You did not linger.

He made temporary accommodations for these people, informed them of some relatively safe areas within Mingdu, and then took his leave.

The rebellion in Mingdu had not yet been quelled, and he had more important things to confirm.

When Lin You returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it was already half an hour later.

He keenly sensed that the atmosphere within the academy had subtly changed since he left.

In the square, the Three Kingdoms titled Douluo who were originally ready to fight were now like wilted eggplants, huddled in a corner with their heads down. Although they were unattended, they dared not make the slightest move.

Clearly, Moon's deterrent effect remains.

The faculty and students of the academy mostly gathered near the high platform, their expressions varied, whispering among themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the platform with a mixture of awe, curiosity, and disbelief.

Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin, the two highest authorities of the academy, were standing on the edge of the platform. Their expressions were incredibly varied, ranging from shock and confusion to fear and even a hint of...laughing and crying.
Lin You's heart stirred, and he slowly walked over.

As he approached, the crowd automatically parted to make way for him.

When he saw the situation in the center of the platform, even with his composure, he almost stumbled.

Xue Di stood there gracefully, her expression still aloof, but there seemed to be a hint of disdain in her beautiful ice-blue eyes.

In her jade-like hand, as if she were carrying a tattered sack, she was holding a person covered in blood, whose limbs were twisted at bizarre angles.

The man looked miserable, barely breathing, with one cheek swollen high, his hair disheveled, and blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the vaguely recognizable facial features and the tattered robes that once symbolized supreme nobility, Lin You would hardly have recognized him.

This... isn't this Xu Tianran, the arrogant crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire?
The Snow Emperor actually managed to bring him back openly and legitimately!
Moreover, judging from his miserable appearance, he had clearly undergone inhuman "treatment".

No wonder Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin had those expressions, and no wonder the teachers and students at the academy looked at them so strangely.

The visual impact of seeing an imperial heir being carried around like a dead dog is simply too strong.

Lin You could no longer hold back; his lips twitched slightly, and he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

That laugh was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the eerie tranquility of the square.

All eyes were on Lin You.

Xue Di also turned her head, her icy blue eyes looking at Lin You, as if asking: What are you laughing at?
"Ahem, it's nothing."

Lin You suppressed a laugh, walked to Xue Di's side, and asked in a low voice, "Xue Di, where...where did you pick him up from?" He really couldn't find a more suitable word to describe it.

Xue Di glanced at Xu Tianran, whom she was carrying, and said in a calm tone, "He woke up on his own in the ruins of the palace and tried to run away, so I brought him back with me."

I just brought it back...

Lin You glanced at Xu Tianran's miserable state again and thought that this "casual" process was probably not simple at all.
