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

Chapter 120: Prepare Early
Zhang Lexuan was a little dazed when she saw the rechargeable soul guide in Lin Xiao's hand. After a moment, she nodded and gently took it.

She glanced at Lin Xiao with a complicated expression, then suddenly turned around and said, "I'm leaving first."

Without waiting for Lin Xiao's response, she flew out of the Star Dou Great Forest. She didn't look back until she was a long time away, but she could see nothing but the dense trees.

When she turned around again, her face was as cold as before.

The trees in the forest also obscured Lin Xiao's vision, leaving him with only the orange glow of the rising sun. With a soft sigh, Lin Xiao lowered his head. The 100,000-year-old soul bone was already in his hand.

The soul power surged in his body, and seven soul rings of black, black, black, black, black, black, black, and red rose one by one and slowly rhythmically surrounded him. Feeling the vast soul power in his body, he thought for a moment and then set off to go out of the forest.

After several months of "training", he had already obtained what he wanted, and even gained something extra. It was time to go back, but before that, he still had to absorb this soul bone as soon as possible...

"Holy light shines upon the earth, and the Holy Emperor descends upon the world!"

Far away in the Demon Forest, a lot of people gathered at the Holy Spirit Church headquarters. Except for the chief elder who had never appeared before, all the other elders were present.

After reciting the doctrine in unison, Zhongli Wu sat in the main seat and glanced around.

"A few days ago, I came out of the palace and heard from the Crown Prince that within ten years, the Sun-Moon Empire will start a war to annex the other three empires."

Ever since Xu Tianran took Ye Xishui as his adoptive mother, Zhongli Wu's way of addressing him has changed a lot.

Upon hearing this, the elders looked at each other, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces to varying degrees.

"Master, when the continent is at war, it will be a great joy for the Holy Church."

"And once the war starts, the materials circulating in the underground market will become scarce."

Zhongli Wu listened to what others were talking about, and after a moment, he interrupted them.

"Well, this is indeed a happy event for our Holy Church. However, for the benefit of the Holy Church, I have already agreed with the Crown Prince that we will also participate in the war when the time comes."

Zhongli Wu's eyes shifted slightly as he spoke, "War never begins on the battlefield. The Crown Prince has already sent a number of people to the three empires, and we must also send personnel to join the action."

"Master, what do we need to do?"

"How many elders are in charge of the various branch temples of the sect now?" Zhongli Wu did not respond immediately, but looked to the side.

Soon, the second elder, Nangong Wan, stood up and spoke, "Master, our sect now has branch temples in all the major cities of the Sun Moon Empire. Several elders are in important cities like Mingdu, Risheng City, and Dongyang City. Mingdu also runs an underground business. Including me, there are four elders in total."

Zhongli Wu pondered for a moment, "Now that the Holy Church has expanded, the number of people has far exceeded that of the past. Some of the branch temples no longer need you to guard them in person."

"How about this. Except for some important cities, only disciples with cultivation above the seventh ring will be left to guard the other branch temples. Some branch temples in Mingdu can also be abandoned. You have other more important things to do."

"Please give us your instructions, Master." Several elders stood up at the same time.

"The Crown Prince wants us to infiltrate the three empires, investigate their topography, and prepare for the army's advance. Furthermore, the Holy Church can use this opportunity to utilize the resources of the Sun-Moon Empire to expand its influence in the three empires."

"Ten Thousand Souls, Masks, and Nightmares."

"Yes." The faces of the elders who were called to give titles became serious.

"The three of you have spirits that excel at concealment. Put aside your current tasks for the moment and infiltrate the three great empires."

The three elders looked at each other after hearing this.

Sleepy Douluo goes without saying; his martial soul, Nightmare Demon, is inherently difficult to detect. Myriad Souls Douluo possesses the martial soul Myriad Soul Banner, enabling him to manipulate souls. Masked Douluo's martial soul is Demon Maggot, which is also difficult to detect. They are indeed masters of operating in the shadows. "Your subordinate obeys."

"Yes." Zhongli Wu nodded. "In addition to finding out information about the three empires, if you find a suitable disciple, you must quickly send him back to the sect."

"Yes."

"Also, you should know that the three great empires are different from the Sun-Moon Empire. They have many people from Shrek Academy. Although the Shrek Supervisory Group is small in number, there are many disciples from there. They will all become Shrek Academy's eyes and ears, so you should be careful in your actions."

"Yes."

"The rest of you who remain in the Sun-Moon Empire must be more careful." Zhongli Wu lowered his voice slightly, "The Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince after all. Some things should not be too obvious."

"Master, I heard that His Majesty's attitude towards the Holy Church seems to be a little different than before. Will there be any surprises when the war breaks out?"

Zhongli Wu's eyes turned cold when he heard this, "Humph, no, the things promised by the prince will definitely come as scheduled."

The elder who had just spoken seemed to have heard something from Zhongli Wu's words. He quickly clasped his fists and whispered "yes".

"Alright, go back now and arrange your matters and prepare to depart." Zhongli Wu glanced at the three Sleepy Nightmare Douluos and sighed softly, "The Holy Church is expanding, but there are still vacancies for priesthood positions. You should pay more attention to them and go ahead."

After the elders left, Zhongli Wu stood up and walked towards the depths of the Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

"Second brother." Outside the headquarters, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo called out to the second elder Nangong Wan.

"what's up?"

"My disciple has been away training for some time and hasn't returned yet. Can you give me a few days and wait for him to come back before I set off?"

Nangong Wan glanced at Sleepy Nightmare Douluo and said, "It's best to do what the leader has arranged as soon as possible. I understand what you mean. I will take over matters related to him for you when the time comes."

"Thank you so much, second brother." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo clasped his fists. "By the way, if my disciple's cultivation breaks through the eighth ring, please be sure to notify me."

Nangong Wan narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, but still did not say much, just nodded slightly.

Only then did Sleepy Nightmare Douluo feel at ease and head towards Mingdu.

However, when he just entered the branch temple, he saw Lin Xiao who had returned from "training".

"teacher."

Lin Xiao was standing in the underground hall of the branch altar. He heard some movement behind him and turned around, just in time to see Sleepy Nightmare Douluo walking in.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo looked at Lin Xiao in front of him. For some reason, although they had not seen each other for only a few months, Lin Xiao seemed like a different person, with an aura that he had never seen before.

"No need to be polite."

"Thank you, teacher."

Lin Xiao stood up straight after hearing this and looked at Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

However, this one glance made Sleepy Nightmare Douluo involuntarily take half a step back.
