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

Chapter 195 Death of Sleeping Nightmare
Although the news of Lin Xiao's return did not spread too far, many people still came to find him after hearing some information in the past few days.

Needless to say, Lin Jiayi talked to Lin Xiao about many things that happened inside and outside the college over the past year.

Even Ye Yulin came to see him once. Although he didn't say much and just asked a few simple questions before leaving quickly, in his heart, he obviously still had an impression of a student like Lin Xiao.

Ma Rulong, Mika and the students who participated in the Fighting Spirit Competition all came together. The time they spent together made the relationship between these students much closer.

Although they are doing different research in Mingde Hall, they still get together often and inevitably talk about Lin Xiao.

Especially Ma Rulong and Mika, they had already known Lin Xiao before participating in the Fighting Spirit Competition, and they mentioned him many times in the past year.

As for Ji Juechen, he came with Jing Ziyan. Ji Juechen was still the sword-crazed man who had no other thoughts except the sword in his hand. It was also rare that Jing Ziyan could always stay by his side without leaving.

There were also some students who were not very familiar with him but had had some contact with him, who came over and said hello to him.

It seemed that without realizing it, Lin Xiao had gotten to know a lot of people.

Many people... don't know his true identity.

In the dormitory, after seeing off several students who came to visit him, Lin Xiao closed the door and sat on the bed, quietly waiting for something.

Finally, an inexplicable oppression swept over him, and the faint breath of death made the soul core in his body tremble slightly.

Lin Xiao sighed lightly. It had been several days since he came back, and what was supposed to come had finally come.

"Disciple greets the leader."

A dark shadow appeared silently in Lin Xiao's room. Lin Xiao stood up from the bed and bowed slightly.

Although there has been no movement in the past few days, he knows that as long as he cannot get rid of his identity as a disciple of the Holy Spirit Church, Zhongli Wu will come to him sooner or later.

Zhongli Wu didn't speak immediately, but stared at Lin Xiao closely. After a long while, he uttered a word lightly, "Old Eight...did he die in your hands?"

Lin Xiao was startled, but he controlled his expression so that it didn't change too much. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhongli Wu's voice again.

"For more than two years, I haven't received any news from Lao Ba."

"At first, I also wondered if Lao Ba had encountered some difficulties, but he has never been one to take the initiative to overcome difficulties. If there is something he can't solve, he will definitely ask the church for help."

Zhongli Wu sighed softly, "For this reason, I made a special trip to the Douling Empire a year ago. To my surprise, the disciples of the Douling Empire had never received any news from Lao Ba, nor had they ever assisted anyone in the Douling Empire."

"And one thing just happened to catch my attention. Before leaving, Lao Ba took away the soul lamp you left behind when you participated in the soul-raising ceremony."

"It's a pity that when I wanted to find you, you had already gone to the other side of the ice sea."

Zhongli Wu's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Lin Xiao's heart, making his body feel a chill to the bone.

Even if no one saw Sleepy Nightmare Douluo die at his hands, as long as he took action, there would be traces left behind. In the past, not many people cared about Sleepy Nightmare Douluo who went to the Douling Empire to carry out missions.

But once someone brings it up, some things cannot be concealed at all, especially in the eyes of someone with the cultivation level of Zhongli Wu.

Lin Xiao's soul power had begun to circulate rapidly within his body. Although he was far from being a match for Zhongli Wu, having absorbed the eighth soul ring and successfully condensed a soul core, his physical strength had also greatly improved. He was confident that he could hold out against Zhongli Wu for a while.

He only hoped that during this period, he could rely on Alex's power to temporarily avoid Zhongli Wu. As for the future, he could only think about it slowly later.

"When Lao Ba brought you back to the sect and told me that he was going to perform a spiritual ascension ceremony for you, I already knew his intentions."

Zhongli Wu continued to speak slowly.

"I have no reason to stop him. I have done countless things in my life, all for the sake of letting the Holy Emperor's light shine upon the world. I believe that one day, those of us who are called evil soul masters by others will also be able to walk under the sun with integrity."

"I know better than anyone what kind of people are in the church. They may have different goals and methods. They may not even really want to stay in the Holy Church. It's just that as evil soul masters, they have nowhere else to go."

"But I don't care. I don't care about anything else in the religion. As long as they can help me achieve my goals, I don't care what they think or whose consciousness is in their bodies."

Having said that, Zhongli Wu slowly took two steps closer to Lin Xiao, "So, I have no reason to stop Lao Ba."

"Of course, after you went through the Ascension Ceremony, I thought about keeping you here. But unfortunately, I personally took you to the battlefield, and your growth rate was not satisfactory to me."

Lin Xiao lowered his head, and some memories came to his mind again.

He finally understood why Zhongli Wu had thought highly of him and taken him to the border of the Xingluo Empire, but later it was as if nothing had happened.

He also understood what Zhongli Wu meant when he said, "The Holy Church will not take away your disciples," right after they had just gone through the soul-raising ceremony. It was clearly tacit approval of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's plan.

Just as Zhongli Wu said, he only cared about whether his talent could remain in the Holy Spirit Church. He didn't care who the consciousness in his body was.

and many more.

When Lin Xiao thought of this, he suddenly understood something. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhongli Wu. He saw that he was staring at him, but there was not much murderous intent in his eyes.

Yes, he only cared about whether his talent could remain in the Holy Spirit Church, and he didn't care whose consciousness was inside this body.

Did Zhongli Wu really mention the matter of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo because Sleepy Nightmare Douluo died in his hands?
To Zhongli Wu, is it more important to be a Titled Douluo who is almost impossible to advance further, or an evil soul master who can defeat a Titled Douluo with only seven rings?
In the Holy Spirit Church, killing is not a big deal at all.

"Disciple wishes to follow the Master and welcome the day when the Holy Light shines upon the earth!"

Lin Xiao saluted again.

"Alas." Zhongli Wu sighed.

"As a Holy Envoy, you were originally a candidate for the position of Elder. Now that Old Eighth has died at the hands of the Shrek Supervisory Group while on a mission to the Douling Empire, you will take over Old Eighth's position and become the new Eighth Elder of our Holy Church."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Xiao lowered his head even deeper.

After hearing Zhongli Wu's words, he understood that from today on, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was truly dead.
