Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 100 Weird

"This kid has such a keen sense."

In the darkness in the distance, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Haha, Master Hongchen, my disciples are still waiting for your answer." Zhongli Wu's figure slowly appeared at the side.

"If my grandson agrees, I'll give you one, so why not?" Jing Hongchen said, his eyes never leaving Lin Xiao in the distance. "Let my grandson suffer a little setback, just consider it as paying tuition."

Xiao Hongchen didn't know what Lin Xiao was doing, but when he heard his words, he waved his hand and called a security guard to remove the soul guide from his body.

Lin Xiao looked at the guards dismantling the soul guide, then glanced at Meng Hongchen who didn't struggle at all, and suddenly asked, "What are you waiting for? Waiting for me to get poisoned?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's expressions changed at the same time.

"How do you know?"

Lin Xiao glanced at Xiao Hongchen and said, "Now I know."

Xiao Hongchen was speechless for a moment.

Lin Xiao laughed, glanced vaguely into the distance, and felt a lot more relaxed.

This should be the end of tonight's events.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem surprising that Xiao Hongchen appears here.

In Lin Xiao's memory, Xiao Hongchen's personality was not good. Even at the Soul Fighting Competition a few years later, he would lose the most basic judgment because of his emotions, and even used his identity to put pressure on the team leader of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

He is not even twelve years old now, and his personality has become even worse due to Jing Hongchen's pampering. He is naturally different from someone like himself who grew up in the Holy Spirit Church and is cautious in everything.

But...what happens tonight may not be as simple as I imagined.

He vaguely guessed who those people hiding in the dark were, and he could also guess where they came from to appear here.

A matter that he should handle can mobilize so many Titled Douluo. If this matter is not strange, then it would be too strange.

This one sentence revealed the plan of Xiao Hongchen and his sister, and the security guard finally took off his soul guide and handed it over.

Lin Xiao took it with one hand, slowly took two steps back, and then looked at the soul guide cannon in his hand.

From the outside, it doesn't look much different from an ordinary soul guide cannon, but his perception during the battle just now was not wrong. This soul guide device is probably the prototype of the future array soul guide device.

After taking a look at Wu Yun and Wu Yu, the two of them instantly understood and came to Lin Xiao's side, and then flew towards Mingdu together.

"you--"

Xiao Hongchen was about to say something else, but saw Meng Hongchen flying in the air, and he hurried forward to catch her.

"What are you waiting for? Chase after them!"

"Yes!"

The guards hurriedly chased after them, but just as they were out of their encirclement, and since this place was not far from Mingdu, before they could catch up, Lin Xiao and his companions had already entered Mingdu and disappeared into the streets.

After all, they were just a group of guards, not an army, and they had no authority to search the city. They soon lost track of Lin Xiao and his companions.

When Xiao Hongchen confirmed that Meng Hongchen was not injured and returned to Mingdu, he only saw the streets illuminated by soul guides on both sides.

Xiao Hongchen returned home with a gloomy face, but when he opened the door, he saw Jing Hongchen with an even gloomier face.

The night ended and the morning sun fell on Mingdu. The whole Mingdu was still the same as yesterday, nothing had happened.

However, in the imperial palace, there was an additional figure in Xu Jing's study where he was handling memorials.

"So this was indeed the work of an evil spirit master?" "Exactly." Xu Tianran nodded, his hands gripping the wheelchair. "Father, the way those bandits acted was exactly the same as that of an evil spirit master."

Xu Jing glanced at Xu Tianran's wheelchair, his eyes moved slightly, then he lowered his head and his gaze fell on the memorial on the table, "I understand."

"Father." Seeing this, Xu Tianran spoke again.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Tianran lowered his voice slightly, "Father, although we borrowed the power of the evil spirit masters in the past, we cannot rely on them to govern the country. If the influence of the evil spirit masters continues to expand, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be unstable."

Xu Jing finally stopped writing and looked at Xu Tianran with interest. "Then, in your opinion, how should we deal with this?"

"Father, it is better to fight bandits with bandits and thieves with thieves."

"How is it made?"

"Father, the Holy Spirit Cult has the support of my royal family and is currently operating the underground business in Mingdu. They will not give up this piece of fat meat easily, so they are much easier to manage than those scattered evil soul masters outside."

Xu Jing's expression changed slightly, as if he had heard the hidden meaning behind Xu Tianran's words, "You mean to let the Holy Spirit Church deal with those evil soul masters?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Xu Tianran nodded. "Father, the Holy Spirit Cult is originally composed of evil soul masters. They are far more familiar with their methods and styles than we are."

"We were able to find them this time thanks to the Holy Spirit Church's intervention. Since it's impossible to eliminate all evil soul masters, it's better to gather them together and manage them under a unified management."

Xu Jing glanced at Xu Tianran, as if trying to read something from his gaze. Xu Tianran met his eyes calmly.

"Father, evil soul masters cannot be reused, so it is just right to let them handle these matters." Xu Tianran advised again.

Xu Jing pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly. "Well, rather than letting those evil soul masters bring chaos to the entire Sun Moon Empire, it would be better to use their power for my own benefit. I'll let you do this."

"Thank you, Father."

"By the way, have the materials lost by Mingde Hall been recovered?"

"No." Xu Tianran shook his head. "When we found those evil soul masters, they had already sold the materials, so there was no place to search for them."

Xu Jing sighed and waved his hand. "Forget it then. Mingde Hall just happened to have another application. Go to the National Treasury and personally deliver it to Jing Hongchen. Ask him to purchase another batch."

"I understand, Father."

"Well, do it."

Listening to the sound of the wheelchair rolling across the ground, Xu Jing stared at the study door for a long time, then retracted his gaze and shook his head.

"Never mind, it's just a batch of materials. If Mingdetang can do their best, what's the harm in giving them a batch of materials?"

Outside the study, as soon as Xu Tianran's wheelchair appeared, someone quickly stepped forward.

"Orange, thank you for waiting for so long."

"That's what oranges are supposed to do."

Xu Tianran had a smile on his face. "Don't be so modest. I just want to go around. Can you accompany me?"

"Yes."

Juzi responded and turned to look at the others behind Xu Tianran. Except for one palace servant, everyone else stayed where they were.

Xu Tianran closed his eyes slightly, feeling the bumps of the wheelchair carefully. When there was no one else around, he suddenly spoke.

"Juzi, this is exactly as you expected."
