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

Chapter 240 God

As the sky gradually darkened, Feng Ling walked out of a room in the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold with a cold face. Outside the door, Ming Lei Douluo and Lin Xiao were standing at the door.

"Deputy Leader, how is the Saint?" Minglei Douluo looked at Feng Ling's face and asked tentatively.

"Hmph, luckily the Saint herself is fine." Feng Ling's expression turned even colder after hearing this. "Nangong Wan hasn't returned yet?"

"No." Minglei Douluo shook his head. It was rare for him not to exaggerate at this time.

He also knows how to read people's expressions. If it were normal times, he might really be upset with Nangong Wan.

But now, Feng Ling had just brought people back from Jingyang Mountains. Not only did Shrek Academy send other masters to pick them up without leaving Yan Shaozhe behind, but as soon as she came back, she saw Ma Xiaotao who was unconscious.

It was unknown what had happened to her, but the absence of Nangong Wan, who was responsible for protecting her, had already filled Feng Ling with rage. Nether Thunder Douluo spoke at this moment, fearing he would get into trouble.

"How is the reconstruction of the stronghold going?"

"The rooms are easy, but the layout of the soul guides will take several days even if Lao Ba and I work together. The official opening will take at least half a month."

Minglei Douluo described the situation truthfully, but Feng Ling became even angrier after hearing it. Just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed and she looked towards the end of the corridor. There, a figure turned the corner and walked towards them.

"Deputy Leader——"

"Humph."

Nangong Wan had just opened his mouth when he heard Feng Ling snort coldly. A terrifying aura pressed down on him, making him unable to move.

"I told you to protect the Saint, where did you go?"

"I--" Nangong Wan paused when he heard this.

When he woke up from the state of his soul power burning, there was no one else around him. Not only the two people who were suspected to be from Shrek Academy, but even Ma Xiaotao had disappeared.

After searching around, I didn't find any trace of Ma Xiaotao, so I had no choice but to come back.

On the way back, Nangong Wan also figured out one thing. The previous attack was not as powerful as he had imagined. The big reaction was purely because he scared himself.

But he couldn't tell the truth and say that he, a dignified Titled Douluo, was scared to that extent.

He raised his head slightly and glanced at Feng Ling's expression. Thinking back to what she had just said, Nangong Wan suddenly realized that the Saint must have returned to Mingdu.

Otherwise, Feng Ling should have asked where the saint had gone, not where she had gone.

Seeing Feng Ling's face become even more gloomy, Nangong Wan's eyes moved, and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly said, "Deputy Sect Leader, I met someone who is very likely to be the Saint Son that the sect has been missing for a long time."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Wan felt his body lighten, and he understood in his heart that Feng Ling was obviously interested in the affairs of the Holy Son.

Although he himself was not sure, he could only try his best to describe it in the direction of the Son of God.

"Deputy Leader, when I entered the city with the Saintess last night, I saw two people behaving very strangely."

While talking about what happened last night, Nangong Wan carefully watched Feng Ling's face. When he saw her looking at him, he immediately lowered his head slightly, but continued to talk.

"As soon as that person made a move, I sensed something was amiss. He looked very much like the Saint Son, a figure the church had long lacked. At the time, I saw everyone in Mingdu had followed him out, and since the Saint was in no danger, I secretly followed him."

"You mean, Shrek Academy not only trained a Holy Maiden for us, but may also train a Holy Son?" Nangong Wan's expression changed upon hearing this, but he still nodded with a forced smile. "That's right. The Holy Maiden reacted this way because she saw someone she knew from Shrek Academy, and based on my observation, that person will definitely become our Holy Son."

As Nangong Wan spoke, "very similar" had already become "definitely".

Lin Xiao stood aside without saying a word, just watching Nangong Wan talking, with a strange expression under the mask.

He was knocked to the ground by his own blow. Even the other people in Mingdu did not expect that a Titled Douluo would be so miserable, so they did not even look for his trace on the ground.

Now I have become someone who observes secretly.

However, Lin Xiao naturally would not expose Nangong Wan's lies. As a person who returned to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy after leaving the stronghold, how could he know what happened outside the city last night.

But...what exactly are the Holy Spirit Church's criteria for selecting Saint Sons and Saint Daughters? No one has ever told him. It seems that anyone with good talent can be selected into the church, but it also seems that there are other criteria.

Lin Xiao was thinking in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly. For some reason, he thought of the so-called "Holy Emperor" in the sect again.

"Teacher, do you still remember the Holy Emperor from the Holy Spirit Church?"

Lin Xiao had no intention of listening to Nangong Wan's nonsense anymore, and called out to Alex softly in his heart.

"There's no need to be too afraid of the power of the Holy Emperor." Alex spoke slowly as he thought.

"I don't know what that Saint Emperor is, but no matter what power he possesses, the fact that he doesn't dare to descend in person and relies solely on the statue to influence the world shows that he either doesn't have the power you imagine, or he has some reservations and can't easily take action."

Lin Xiao shook his head secretly, "It's not entirely because I'm afraid of his power."

"Teacher, I also want to try to find a way to break through this world from him."

It's not that Lin Xiao is arrogant, but with his talent, his memory, and the means of Alex, it is only a matter of time for him to break through to the Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo.

When he was a child, he was very cautious in the Holy Spirit Church. He didn't dare to think too far ahead. He just thought that being able to defeat the Holy Spirit Church was enough.

But now, perhaps he has some ability to protect himself, perhaps it is because he promised his teacher to help him find the remaining fragments of spiritual consciousness, or perhaps he himself also yearns for a wider world.

Unconsciously, his gaze was no longer willing to stay at the place where he could see the end at a glance.

He knew that there were vaster places outside this world, and with his teacher Alex, he also wanted to try to see if he could reach the realm beyond that of a soul master.

It’s a pity that since he started practicing, he has never had the feeling of being “called by the divine world” as he remembered.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Since you don't come to me, I will take the initiative to find you.

In this world, the place that can be related to the "God's Realm" is probably the mysterious Holy Emperor, except for Shrek Academy.

Although he was wary, he also wanted to know what was behind the Holy Emperor. Even if he found out that they were completely unrelated, it would still be an end to an unknown threat.

Electrolux was slow to speak. Perhaps this was the first time he heard Lin Xiao talk about his...ambitions.
