Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 161 Premonition
The Soul Saint's soul, reduced to a puppet, is unable to unleash its true Martial Soul form, and even the execution of its Soul Skills feels sluggish.

Yue Yin held the advantage against the four Soul Saints, her Soul Rings flashing alternately.

On the other hand, Tie Li's situation was not so good. Apart from the Soul Saint, all the other soul entities attacked him and the Spirit Hall deacon.

Tie Li quickly kicked the Spirit Hall steward away, making him draw some of the fire for him.

The Dragon Hammer, wreathed in black lightning, immediately unleashed its first and third soul skills.

"呲呲"

A single hammer blow struck a Soul Emperor's defensive Soul Skill, easily breaking through his defenses.

"Ah!" A miserable scream rang out as the soul was eroded by the black lightning. In just a moment, it was like a vase full of cracks, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

Black lightning greatly amplifies the damage to souls; a Soul Emperor's soul was reduced to this state simply by being eroded by black lightning.

"boom"

The Soul Emperor's soul suddenly attacked itself, and its ferocious face revealed a look of relief.

Inside the Netherworld Pearl, one suffers torment at every moment; the pain is unimaginable.

Ironclad's Black Lightning inflicted immense damage on him, but it also restored some control over his soul, leading him to self-destruct without hesitation.

For them, this was a relief.

Upon seeing this, Tie Li immediately unleashed his fourth soul skill, boosting his attributes by a whopping 300%, and the massive Zhenlong Hammer crashed down like a meteorite.

"Boom boom"

This sudden change immediately caught the attention of the Fallen Soul Master.

"What kind of thunder and lightning is this?"

All souls attacked by the iron force experienced a brief period of loss of control.

The third soul ring on the Fallen Soul Master lit up, and all his souls became violent, attacking Tie Li under his control.

Just then, a dark figure appeared behind the Fallen Soul Master, with ferocious arms hanging down in front of him. The figure was grotesque, with unnatural reddish-brown skin and uneven scales covering its chest and face.

Ugly, sharp claws suddenly pierced through the Fallen Soul Master's back. There was no soul power in his body, but a different kind of blood-red energy.
"呲呲"

The sound of claws piercing through skin filled the air, and the Fallen Soul Master's head turned in an unbelievable way, his cold gaze falling upon him.

"Damn it, it's out of control again."

This is not the first time this has happened.

The Fallen Soul Master reluctantly glanced at Yueyin and the other two. If one of the beast forms went out of control, the rest would follow suit.

"What happened? Why did he suddenly leave?"

"Never mind him, let's go back first." Yue Yin's condition is not good. The Fallen Soul Master just now cast some kind of status on the Soul Saint's soul, which caused him to be injured and he needs to be healed in time.

The Spirit Hall steward was still alive, and Tie Li lifted him up and followed behind Yue Yin.

But Tie Li couldn't help but look in the direction the Fallen Soul Master had fled. Just a moment ago, he had felt a strange call.

……

"What's wrong with you guys? How could you let a beast form escape?" The Fallen Soul Master looked at the other Fallen Soul Masters with hostility as soon as he returned to the valley.

"We don't know what happened to him. He suddenly escaped, and the speed he displayed was beyond our reach."

"I have implanted the soul of a 30,000-year-old soul beast into the body of this beast. You must keep a close eye on him," the Fallen Soul Master warned again.

Only after he was reintegrated into the beast form's group did the Fallen Soul Master begin to treat his injuries.

The beast-like form's crimson energy can erode the life force of living beings. It possesses characteristics of soul power, but it is fundamentally different from true soul power and can be called pseudo-soul power. After the fallen soul master left, emotions and intelligence reappeared in its empty eyes.

He was just an ordinary person at first, but he was forcibly transformed by this group of fallen soul masters, losing the wisdom and emotions that humans should have, and becoming a puppet.

However, some time ago, this group of fallen soul masters captured a large number of soul beasts, tortured them to death, and then forcibly extracted their souls, using a special ritual to implant the soul beasts' souls into the bodies of puppets.

More than 30% of the puppets were unable to withstand the souls of the spirit beasts and turned into a pool of blood and mud.

However, the surviving puppets all possessed pseudo-soul power, and their combat strength depended on the soul beast within them.

He is the only puppet with the soul of a 30,000-year-old soul beast, and his combat power is no weaker than that of a six-ring Soul Emperor.

However, the soul of a 30,000-year-old soul beast is special, often causing it to slip out of his control.

During the ritual performed by the Fallen Soul Master, he made contact with an unknown entity in the darkness.

"elder brother……"

His voice was hoarse and his eyes showed a series of shifting emotions.

……

Upon returning to Crescent City, Yue Yin immediately went to the Crescent Sect. The entire Crescent Sect was the only one with a six-ring healing-type Soul Master.

As for the Spirit Hall deacon, it was Tie Li who brought him back to the Spirit Hall Main Hall.

"Thank you... thank you." Tie Li had kicked him at the time, but since Tie Li had saved him, he still expressed his gratitude to Tie Li.

"Something's not right this time. You should notify the Spirit Hall immediately."

"I see."

Dragging his heavily injured body, the Spirit Hall steward walked into the hall.

Tie Li returned to the city lord's mansion, found Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin, and told them everything that had happened.

"A fallen Soul Master at the Soul Emperor level? Controlling the souls of four Soul Saints?" Bai Baoshan's face darkened. How could a fallen Soul Master grow to the level of a Soul Emperor and control the souls of Soul Saints?

Behind him, there must be a Soul Master force supporting him, or rather, this group of fallen Soul Masters has gathered together and formed an organization.

However, given the Spirit Hall's tolerance for fallen soul masters, it's impossible for them to allow an organization of fallen soul masters to exist.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: a powerful force is supporting them.

There are very few soul master forces that can do this right under the nose of the Spirit Hall.

At that moment, Bai Baoshan seemed to have imagined a terrible outcome.

If such a powerful Soul Master faction were to support them, then the things that this Soul Master faction planned might be truly astonishing.

This must be reported to the royal family immediately.

"Something might be going to happen. I must inform the royal family immediately," Bai Baoshan said in a low voice.

It's not just these fallen soul masters who need to be watched; the soul master forces behind them are the most terrifying.

Sending a letter was too unreliable, so Bai Baoshan sent Zhilin to personally report the situation to the royal family.

The appearance of this group of fallen soul masters within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire is not a good sign.

……

"Preparations are almost complete, let's get started. I can't keep the news down any longer. Not only the Spirit Hall, but even the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire has begun to notice."
