Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 214 The Rampant Evil Soul Masters

In this oppressive gathering of evil soul masters, Jing Hongchen, a normal soul master, seemed completely out of place.

A figure dressed in black robes walked over, and the evil spirit masters who had been talking amongst themselves all turned their gazes toward him.

Jing Hongchen recognized the newcomer at a glance: Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

But it wasn't this person who mattered to him.

Although Zhongli Wu was also a powerful evil soul master, he ultimately did not reach that level and was still no match for the empire's soul master group.

What caught Jing Hongchen's attention was the woman who came out behind Zhongli Wu:
Death God Douluo, Ye Xishui!

This person's identity may be a secret to ordinary people, but it is not a secret to high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Empire like Mirror Red Dust.

The reason why the Holy Spirit Cult is so rampant is 70% because this Death God Douluo is backing them up.

The Imperial Soul Master Corps can handle a level 98 Super Douluo like Zhongli Wu, but they can't deal with a Limit Douluo like Ye Xishui.

Ye Xishui may not be able to directly compare with the destructive power of a top-tier Soul Master Corps, but the problem is that she is far more agile than a Soul Master Corps.

Theoretically speaking, if more members of the Soul Master Corps were present, it would be possible to kill a Limit Douluo, but it would be highly unlikely to actually kill one.

After all, the theoretical conditions were too harsh. People who record at their limits aren't stupid, so why should they follow that kind of script?
As for leaving Ye Xishui behind, that's even more laughable.

Once you reach the limit, you are no longer at the level of a Title Douluo. You are the closest being to a god in this world. Unless you master some special conditions, it is impossible to leave such an existence behind.

The only person in the entire Sun Moon Empire capable of dealing with Ye Xishui is the legendary Soul Master Kong Deming.

But that's only true for now.

Ye Xishui ignored Jing Hongchen's gaze. Her face was expressionless, and she sat down in the central area in front of her with an indifferent expression.

Standing alone at the forefront, this is Ye Xishui's extraordinary status within the Holy Spirit Cult.

Behind her, next to her, were Vice Leader Feng Ling and Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya.

Zhongliwu then walked to the high platform and announced the start of the investiture ceremony.

"Following the Blue Silver Saintess, the Holy Church has welcomed another Holy Son and a Holy Maiden!"

"This is divine blessing upon our Holy Church; our Holy Church shall surely prosper!"

"May Heaven bless the Holy Church!"

May your reign last a thousand years!

The evil spirit masters below cheered with fanaticism at the arrival of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

Led by two titled Douluo-level elders, Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena slowly walked out from the back.

Both of them had changed into black suits, and with the deliberately evil and cold aura they exuded, they did indeed have the air of evil spirit masters.

"Today, I, Zhongli Wu, hereby confer upon Jiang Xue the title of Holy Son of the Holy Scythe of my Holy Sect, and upon Gu Yuena the title of Holy Maiden of the Evil Soul of my Holy Sect!"

Fortunately, the Holy Spirit Cult's investiture ceremony doesn't require kneeling to receive the title; otherwise, both Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena would most likely have flipped the table.

Neither of them are the type to kneel before others.

"The Holy Church shall flourish!"

A purple light flashed, and a huge scythe appeared in his hand.

Ling Shuang lifted it high and whispered coldly.

These evil spirit masters were quite cooperative, responding with a constant stream of words.

Hearing the repeated phrases "The Holy Religion shall be revived" around him, Jing Hongchen felt utterly powerless.

The evil spirit masters, who have always been forced to hide in the mainland, have actually developed into this.

Jing Hongchen believed that the Holy Spirit Cult sought more than this, and he could sense the people's great ambition.

I must remind His Highness when I get back. Jing Hongchen made this decision in her heart.

He believed that Xu Tianran's behavior was too dangerous. Cooperating with a force like the Holy Spirit Cult could lead to utter ruin if he was not careful!
The rest of the process is very simple: the classic meal and toasting.

Even a heretical organization like the Holy Spirit Cult cannot escape the influence of drinking culture.

Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena received countless compliments, while the Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya was not so well received.

After all, Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena are not the same as Tang Ya; they have not been corrupted by the evil poison and have fully maintained their self-awareness.

The benefits of pleasing them are far greater than those from the mentally unstable Blue Silver Saintess.

Moreover, it is highly likely that one of these two will take power in the future, and the Blue Silver Saintess will most likely just serve as a weapon for the Holy Church.

These evil spirit masters are not stupid.

As the public enemy of the Soul Master world, they've managed to survive until now, which means they must have some brains.

"Hey, what a hall master, we meet again." Ling Shuang appeared in front of Jing Hongchen without anyone noticing.

Hearing how he addressed him, Jing Hongchen's lips twitched slightly, but he still picked up his wine cup: "I, Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, congratulate Your Highness, the Holy Son."

When Jing Hongchen spoke of his identity and name, his tone became noticeably more forceful, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with Ling Shuang's inability to pronounce his name.

However, Ling Shuang wouldn't care about that.

He picked up his wine glass and casually clinked it against his finger.

"Yes, Master of the Morality Hall."

Jing Hongchen's face darkened, but he ultimately didn't say anything more.

He doesn't want to talk to this "Jiang Xue" at all right now.

Jing Hongchen wasn't stupid; she realized that this "Jiang Xue" was deliberately trying to mess with her mindset.

He simply couldn't believe that anyone in the Sun Moon Empire didn't know what Mingde Hall was.

They truly deserve to be called evil spirit masters; each and every one of them has such a wicked personality!

Jing Hongchen cursed inwardly, his opinion of evil spirit masters worsening even further.

Now that she had a general understanding of what was going on here, Jing Hongchen had no intention of staying any longer.

"Sect Leader Zhongli, I have some matters to attend to, so I will be returning now."

Zhongli Wu nodded slightly: "Take care, Master Hongchen."

Just as Jing Hongchen was about to leave, she heard Zhongli Wu's voice drifting from behind:
"By the way, could you please ask His Highness for me if he has achieved the result he wanted?"

Jing Hongchen paused, and after a moment, her voice came: "Don't worry, Sect Leader Zhongli, I will definitely pass on the message to His Highness."

Only after leaving the hotel did Jing Hongchen mutter under his breath, "A bunch of arrogant bastards!"

Jing Hongchen already knew that Zhongli Wu must know Xu Tianran's purpose in having him attend the investiture ceremony.

It would be strange if Zhongli Wu couldn't understand this.

However, Jing Hongchen never expected that Zhongli Wu would directly bring the matter to light.

The impact wasn't significant, but this attitude infuriated Jing Hongchen.

Some things are fine if everyone knows them, but if you talk about them, the nature of the matter changes.

Zhongli Wu's actions clearly show that he doesn't take the Sun Moon Empire seriously!

Ling Shuang took in the actions of the two people, and a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

The more Zhongliwu and the Sun and Moon Empire are at odds, the better for him.
