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

Chapter 185 The timing is right
"Wow--"

The ice layer several meters thick was cracked, and a figure rushed out from the ice cave, splashing large amounts of water that reflected a little luster in the sunlight.

Lin Xiao breathed in deep gulps of air, feeling the air flow through his mouth.

After being under the sea for so long, he hadn't breathed like this for a long time.

Looking at the endless sea around him, Lin Xiao flipped through the storage soul guide, and soon, a pair of folded wings slowly unfolded from behind him.

Now his aura was extremely harmonious, and it was obvious that he had reached the bottleneck of level 80 and could stay in the air for a while.

However, there is no place to stand on this vast ice sea except for a few icebergs, so it is better to use a flying soul guide to save some soul power.

After being washed out of the mermaid palace, Lin Xiao didn't know where he was taken by the ocean currents on the seabed.

After identifying for a long time, he finally confirmed the direction. The flying soul guide behind him spewed out several white air currents, carrying his figure to the south.

Just after he flew for a distance, a black dot appeared and disappeared in the distance where the sky met the sea.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, and with a thought, the assassin's figure separated from him.

The assassin was an eight-ringed Soul Douluo during his lifetime. Although Lin Xiao has not yet obtained the eighth soul ring, his soul power level has exceeded level 80, and he can almost fully exert the assassin's full strength.

Before he got close, a strong smell of death reached Lin Xiao's heart.

During the time when he was unconscious, Alex merged his power with his own, allowing him to possess a second martial soul. His own attributes also completely became the ultimate death, and his perception of death was far more acute than before.

Just through the assassin's vision, he could feel that a large-scale battle had taken place here not long ago, and many lives had died here.

Looking around, Lin Xiao finally "saw" what the black shadow was.

It was a human-shaped "object", about two meters long, and its surface was completely covered with a layer of charred black, making it impossible to see its original appearance.

Pointing in the distance, a wave splashed up and rushed towards the black shadow. The next moment, under the wash of the sea water, the charred layer finally faded a little, revealing the blue scales inside.

Lin Xiao paused suddenly, and instantly understood what was inside. Without thinking, he stepped on the ground and flew out backwards.

But before he could completely leave, a voice reached his ears at a speed far faster than his own.

"Why, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Lin Xiao paused and slowly turned around, "Grand Elder."

That’s right, it was just a scale, but Lin Xiao had already realized that underneath the charred area was none other than the Great Elder who had previously asked him to steal the Heart of the Ocean and almost caused his consciousness to dissipate under the mental shock of the mermaid.

The Great Elder slowly moved his body, the charred skin on his body kept falling off, revealing the smooth skin underneath. Many scales on the fish tail fell off, and the new flesh and blood inside was slowly wriggling.

However, she looked disheveled, but the aura she exuded was far greater than what Lin Xiao had seen her do before.

With a light tap of his fingers, a stream of sea water slowly rose up and gently flowed down from the Great Elder's body, completely washing away the remaining charred skin on her body.

After doing all this, she looked up at Lin Xiao and said, "You are still alive."

Ripples appeared on the sea surface. In the blink of an eye, the Great Elder was already standing in front of Lin Xiao. "Before, you were able to block out my voice and resist their temptation. I am just a little interested in you."

"And now, you've been able to take on something that even I dare not try myself without any harm. The secrets in you really make me curious."

"Perhaps I can find a way to survive the next tribulation from you..." The elder said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and his icy killing intent pressed down on Lin Xiao without any attempt to conceal it.

Lin Xiao was startled and subconsciously jumped back. He saw the Great Elder's fingertips almost brushing his neck, and the soul power in his body was ready to be unleashed.

However, just as he was about to take action, the Great Elder suddenly laughed and stopped chasing him.

"You are quite alert. Don't worry, I was just testing you just now." The elder took a deep breath, and the soul power in his body slowly subsided.

"I am indeed interested in you, but my next tribulation is still a long way off. There's no rush to look for you after you die."

"Let's go. I will fulfill my promise to you. When you return, you will be the Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder's Holy Emissary. I will speak to Old Eight on your behalf."

"Yes."

Lin Xiao lowered his head slightly, looked at the Great Elder's chest rising and falling, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

Just that simple action just now made the Great Elder's breathing become much faster. Logically speaking, a soul beast of her level of cultivation should not be so weak.

Moreover, after listening to the words of the Great Elder, he could already guess why she became like that.

The charred body was not caused by fire, but by thunder. She asked him to steal the Heart of the Ocean, probably in preparation for her thunder.

Judging from the changes in her aura, her thunder tribulation was obviously over.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's eyes grew colder. In that instant, the cold murderous intent was clear; the Great Elder was definitely planning to attack him.

But she didn't expect that she would be so weak after just surviving the heavenly tribulation, nor did she expect that Lin Xiao could easily dodge the sudden attack.

Even though the Great Elder was not like the mermaids in his memory, it could be seen from previous contacts that the Great Elder was also strong in spirit. He did not believe that the Great Elder would not be tempted by something that could withstand the mental impact of the mermaids.

Lin Xiao reached out and covered the cloak on his head more tightly.

Fulfilling her promise was probably just an excuse. She said that only because she was not absolutely sure of winning herself over in her current state.

Once she recovers...

In just a few breaths, Lin Xiao had made a decision.

He knew very well what kind of people the Holy Spirit Church was. As a soul beast, the attitude of the Great Elder towards humans was much worse.

This matter will definitely not end here. Once the Great Elder fully recovers, I will no longer be her opponent.

If you want to truly end this matter, now is the time to act.

Lin Xiao suddenly looked up and looked at the back of the great elder in front of him.

Besides, he really needs a new spirit ring now.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, he raised his cloak, and countless dark red rays of light covered the great elder like an overwhelming force.

At the same time, several translucent shadows separated from his body, and a huge metal box also appeared beside him, floating in the air.
