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

Chapter 159 The Saint Returns
As if noticing Lin Xiao's gaze, the Great Elder nodded slightly at him. Zhongli Wu, who was standing beside him, also looked over here, but looked away after a moment.

Lin Xiao lowered his head and walked to the side where Sleepy Nightmare Douluo stood. He didn't look at him any more, but he secretly became alert in his heart.

He had never seen this Great Elder before, and he didn't even have much impression of her in his memories of his previous life, but the fact that she could hold the position of Great Elder was enough to show her strength.

And judging from her performance at the door just now, her ability is probably even more bizarre than that of the other elders.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the hall. Zhongli Wu looked around and saw that the number of people was about the same, so he stood up.

"Today, we gather here to celebrate the return of the Saint."

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

As soon as Zhongli Wu finished speaking, waves of shouts rang out. After several times, they gradually quieted down.

"Please, Holy Emperor."

Zhongli Wu took two steps forward, then turned around. Behind his seat as the leader, a wall slowly opened and a statue appeared before everyone.

All the elders and disciples knelt down instantly. Lin Xiao did not look up, but he could feel that when the statue came out, a strange atmosphere emerged in the entire hall.

"Bring the Saint."

"Ta-ta-"

The crisp sound of footsteps passed by Lin Xiao's ears. He still didn't look up, but he could feel that only Ma Xiaotao came alone, and no one else was with her.

Ma Xiaotao only stopped slowly when she reached Zhongli Wu.

"Everyone, get up."

Everyone then stood up and their eyes fell on Ma Xiaotao.

Unlike others, Ma Xiaotao did not wear a black cloak. Instead, she wore a dark red long skirt with flame-like patterns on it that seemed to be rising at any time, contrasting with her dark red hair.

Even though the black cloaks on Lin Xiao and the others are only a thin layer, this is indeed the uniform of the Holy Spirit Church.

The cloaks of all the worshippers are decorated with golden patterns, while those of the elders are outlined with silver threads. Holy envoys like Lin Xiao represent several elders. Although there are no patterns on their cloaks, there is a silver thread running along the edge.

As for the other believers, they were left with only the most ordinary black cloaks. The fact that Ma Xiaotao could wear a long skirt was enough to show her status as a saint.

"Please bear witness, Saint Emperor. Today, our Holy Church finally obtains a Saint Girl."

"boom--"

A muffled sound came from the hall. No one noticed where the sound came from, but Lin Xiao's heart was shocked.

At that moment, he felt an inexplicable pressure, as if all the negative emotions of mankind suddenly erupted in the hall, and seemed to swallow up everything.

Although he had experienced the soul-raising ceremony, at that time, his greatest feeling was the pain of his soul, and he did not have much feeling for the statue of the Holy Emperor.

I originally thought it was just a simple brainwashing ceremony, where the Holy Spirit Church split the souls of its disciples in the brainwashing process to ensure the loyalty of all the Holy Spirits.

The so-called Holy Emperor is nothing more than an imaginary god invented by the Holy Spirit Church in order to spread its doctrine.

But at that moment, Lin Xiao was extremely sure that the power did not come from anyone in the hall, and was completely different from their power.

No matter what that Holy Emperor is, it must possess considerable power.

At the moment when the loud noise was heard, Ma Xiaotao also roared, her eyes turned completely blood red, her long hair fluttered up, and dark red flames surrounded her body.

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

"Long live the Holy Emperor, and may the Holy Maiden remain forever!"

Shouts rang out again, seemingly influenced by the "Holy Emperor," everyone's voices filled with fervor, only gradually subsiding after a long while. Zhongli Wu also shouted twice, and after the surroundings calmed down, he turned around again to look at the crowd in the hall.

"The Saint has finally returned to her throne. Tonight, let's have fun!"

"Yes!"

They responded in unison, and the next moment, figures transformed into streams of light and flew out of the headquarters.

Lin Xiao looked at the figures rushing out and sighed in his heart.

The meaning of the word "enjoy yourself to the fullest" is obvious, and there is only one thing that can make an evil soul master "enjoy himself to the fullest".

Soon, only Zhongli Wu and several elders were left in the hall, as well as several holy envoys representing the elders who were not present.

Except for Lin Xiao, the other holy envoys were trembling slightly, as if they couldn't wait to rush out with the other disciples.

"Deputy Sect Leader Feng."

"Yes."

As Zhongli Wu finished speaking, a figure walked over from the side. It was Feng Ling, the deputy leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.

"I don't think I need to explain the Saint's origins. Her power comes from the same source as yours. From now on, you will be the one teaching her."

"Yes, Master."

Although Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling are husband and wife, they still respect each other according to their positions in this situation.

"It's ridiculous that Shrek Academy claims to be the number one soul master academy on the continent, but they don't know that the more the power in the Saint's body is suppressed, the stronger it becomes. It's all thanks to them that they trained the Saint to this point."

At this point, Zhongli Wu was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, "The Saint has been suppressed for too long. She needs a hearty release to fully unleash the power within her."

"I allow my disciples to have fun tonight because I want to help the Saintess cover up and avoid leaving too many traces that might be noticed by Shrek Academy."

Although he was mocking, Zhongli Wu still respected the strength of Shrek Academy.

"Take her there."

"Yes."

Feng Ling also left with Ma Xiaotao. Zhongli Wu turned his gaze to the Great Elder again, "You haven't been back for a long time."

"Just taking a short break. I'm different from you guys." The Great Elder spoke softly. Although he wasn't talking to anyone else, it still made everyone's heart flutter.

Zhongli Wu seemed to have noticed something. He glanced at everyone and stopped talking. "All the Holy Envoys may leave now. The rest of the elders will stay with me to discuss matters."

"Then I'll go back first."

The Great Elder didn't seem to be very interested in the affairs of the Holy Spirit Church, and Zhongli Wu didn't stop her, letting her leave.

The other holy envoys could no longer contain themselves and also flew away. Lin Xiao glanced at them and followed them without staying any longer.

"So he's Lao Ba's disciple."

However, just as Lin Xiao walked out of the headquarters, the voice of the Great Elder came from behind him again.

Lin Xiao didn't know where she came from, but he still stopped and bowed.

"I've met the Great Elder."

"Haha, I didn't expect that idiot Lao Ba could teach a disciple like you."
