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

Chapter 213 He hesitates to speak
Lin Xiao stopped and watched the shadow under his feet become clearer and clearer, until the biting chill behind him was even greater than the real moonlight in the night sky.

The surroundings were so quiet that Lin Xiao seemed to hear the slight breathing sound behind him.

"Didn't I tell you not to come to the Sun-Moon Empire?"

Lin Xiao turned slightly, and suddenly a dazzling light appeared in front of his eyes. The silver-white light fell like a sharp blade, but stopped just in front of him.

The light faded, and the figure before him was clearly reflected in Lin Xiao's eyes. Her robe moved slightly, and her long hair reflected a faint luster under the moonlight. Just like that night many years ago, she stood on the tree branch, like a fairy walking out of the moon.

Zhang Lexuan bit her lip, a complicated look in her eyes.

In the past two years, she had thought about the scene when she would see Lin Xiao again more than once, and told herself more than once that she should not hold back against an evil soul master.

But at this moment, the moonlight that had reaped the lives of countless evil soul masters like a sickle was unable to fall.

Perhaps it was because the person before him had saved him from soul beasts more than once, perhaps it was because of their similar life experiences, or perhaps it was because of the long conversation they had that night after facing the hundred-thousand-year soul beast together...

Just like what Moon said at the beginning, the more you control yourself from thinking about certain things, the more likely those things will appear before your eyes.

Zhang Lexuan opened her mouth, as if she had a lot to say, but for a moment she didn't know where to start.

"Is Xiaotao... okay?" After a long silence, she finally asked.

"The evil fire in her body completely erupted and continued to grow in the killing, almost engulfing her consciousness." Lin Xiao paused and suddenly remembered what happened to Tang Ya before.

"But she should still have some memories of Shrek Academy."

"Where is she now?"

"That's not a place you can go." Lin Xiao shook his head when he heard that.

Not only Zhang Lexuan, even if Moon En arrived at the Holy Spirit Church headquarters, he might not be able to gain any advantage from the two Extreme Douluos and the Evil Emperor.

In order to thoroughly uncover the secrets of the Holy Spirit Church, at the very least, the two Extreme Douluos must be forced to leave the headquarters that has been run by the Holy Spirit Church for a long time.

There was another silence between the two. Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Lexuan in front of him, his mind churning, "Why are you in Mingdu?"

"You took Xiaotao away, and the evil soul masters are wreaking havoc in the Sun-Moon Empire again. The academy can't just sit there and do nothing."

"The same thing, let's go back." Lin Xiao sighed lightly.

Zhang Lexuan's cultivation level has improved a lot and is not far from level 90. He really wants the people from Shrek Academy to help him uncover the secrets of the Holy Spirit Church, but Zhang Lexuan alone cannot do it.

"why?"

"The people in Mingdu are not someone you can handle."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan stared at Lin Xiao's mask for a long time, and her eyes seemed to be able to see Lin Xiao's expression underneath the cold mask.

After a moment, she finally spoke again, "I'm not the only one here this time, you..."

"You should leave here."

Zhang Lexuan turned around, and her voice came lightly, as if she had not spoken at all.

Lin Xiao seemed not to hear anything. He just took off his mask and looked at her back quietly...

Inside Mingdu City, Fan Yu and his companions, who had been waiting for a long time outside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, finally made a move. A figure wearing a cloak appeared beside Fan Yu at some point. The person raised his head slightly, and after Fan Yu and the others recognized the person in front of them, their expressions changed simultaneously.

"Dean Yan?"

Fan Yu spoke subconsciously, then quickly glanced around and lowered his voice, "Why did you come here in person?"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes were filled with sadness as he gently shook his head. "I was originally looking for Xiao Tao in the Sun Moon Empire. After hearing the news about you, I rushed here."

"Are you coming here alone?"

"No, besides me, there is also an elder from the Sea God Pavilion and several inner courtyard disciples."

"However, Mingdu is the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire after all. If we enter the city together, we will be too conspicuous. So, after deciding where to go, we will enter Mingdu separately."

Yan Shaozhe said as he glanced at the time again, "At this time... if nothing unexpected happens, the others should already be in Mingdu City."

After saying this, he glanced at Huo Yuhao and He Caitou standing beside him, "Why did you bring them both out?"

Fan Yu followed Yan Shaozhe's gaze and said, "Dean Yan, it was Huo Yuhao who discovered the evil soul master's whereabouts. And tonight, they secretly went to the place where the evil soul master had been."

"That's really reckless." Yan Shaozhe frowned. "Xiao Tao has already been taken away by them. Do you want to cause the academy to suffer even greater losses?"

"Dean Yan, you know my soul skills. They can't find me. Besides, we've been there once. I can take you and the others there..."

"You're not allowed to go." Before Huo Yuhao could finish, Yan Shaozhe interrupted him, his eyes filled with even more sorrow. "Tell me the details of the place you went to, and then return to the dormitory immediately."

"Dean Yan..."

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth again, but was stopped by Yan Shaozhe again. "Yuhao, I know that you, like the other inner court disciples in the academy, hate evil and have a strong hatred for evil. But now, we don't need you yet."

"Trust us teachers. What you need to do most now is to complete your mission at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. In the future, when your strength has fully grown, that will be when the academy needs you."

Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe staring at him intently, and something suddenly occurred to him. He nodded slightly, "I understand, Dean Yan."

"Well, good boy." Yan Shaozhe raised his hand and patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "Now tell me, what did you encounter before?"

"This matter was first discovered from a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. At first, I was only interested in the soul guides he made, but later, I found that he had a connection with the Death Messenger we encountered before..."

Huo Yuhao recounted how he discovered the Death Messenger, followed him to the underground arena, and met the three people who were suspected to be Titled Douluo.

Yan Shaozhe, who was standing aside, frowned even deeper as he listened to Huo Yuhao's description. He had heard about that outfit from Xuanzi.

and--

Yan Shaozhe unconsciously glanced in the direction of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy from afar.

"Dean Yan, we were afraid of being discovered after that, so we didn't investigate further."

"Well, you did a great job." Yan Shaozhe retracted his gaze and nodded, "Teacher Fan, take the children back to the academy first, and leave the rest to us."

"Okay, Dean Yan."

Yan Shaozhe glanced at a few people again before turning around and disappearing on the streets of Mingdu.
