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

Chapter 26 Number Six
Although he was curious about the specific process of the soul-raising ceremony, Lin Xiao did not rush to look for the Holy Servant No. 6. It was not until the day off at the Sun and Moon Royal Academy that he appeared outside the city of Mingdu.

A pair of folded wings behind him slowly unfolded, and as two white lights shot out from the flying soul guide, Lin Xiao's figure quickly rose into the air.

This was the first time he had flown in this way, except for the time he practiced at the academy.

The Mingdu city behind him gradually became smaller. He could almost see the entire city. The sound of wind was constantly in his ears, and the scenery under his feet was rapidly receding. In the blink of an eye, those who entered and left Mingdu turned into black dots.

Feeling the pleasure of flying, Lin Xiao did not forget the purpose of coming out this time. He raised his right hand, and as the red spider lily bloomed, a translucent shadow also emerged.

It was a face that Lin Xiao was familiar with. It was the Holy Servant No. 6 whom he had met once before.

However, the soul that Lin Xiao brought out from the holy flag was not complete. There was not much expression on that translucent face, and it just struggled instinctively from time to time.

What exactly is the soul?
Even with a martial soul like the red spider lily, Lin Xiao was unable to answer this question for a moment.

In this world, souls can not only be seen, but also possess certain powers and can even be controlled and driven by others.

However, even in the Holy Spirit Church, which has conducted in-depth research on the soul, no one can clearly explain where the soul comes from.

"Uh-"

The remnant soul let out a meaningless groan, and a look of pain appeared on its face.

Lin Xiao looked up into the distance. Although he didn't know the true nature of the soul, it undoubtedly possessed extremely special powers. In that direction, he felt a faint force calling out to the remnant soul in his palm.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

It's a small courtyard with simple decoration, which looks no different from other houses around it. Only the flowers and plants arranged in an orderly manner in the courtyard show the taste of the owner of the courtyard.

A young woman was sitting at the gate of the yard, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

Behind her, a girl of eight or nine years old came skipping over and put her arms around her neck from behind.

"Nana, stop it."

The woman came to her senses, turned around with a smile, and hugged the girl behind her in her arms.

"Hehehe——" A crisp laugh suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard, "Mom, you won't leave this time you come back, right?"

Hearing this, the woman's hand that was teasing her daughter suddenly stopped, and the smile on her face dimmed a little.

"Well, I won't leave." Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes in her arms, she finally nodded reluctantly, "By the way, Nana, where's Daddy?"

"Dad is boiling some medicine in there." Nana looked towards the room on the side of the courtyard. "Dad said that being a soul master is very hard every day. Mom has so many injuries that she doesn't have enough time to treat them."

The woman also looked towards the courtyard, her expression even more dejected. Although her husband was not a spirit master, he was also from an aristocratic family and had an extraordinary vision. He must have already seen that the injuries on her body were caused by fighting with other spirit masters.

After all, I am an ominous person...

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Nana seemed to have noticed something and looked up at the woman.

"I'm fine—" The woman smiled and patted Nana's head, then suddenly stopped. "Nana, why don't you go to Daddy's first? Mommy suddenly remembered there's something I haven't done yet. I'll come find you later." "Okay." Nana nodded obediently, ran a few steps, then turned back. "Mommy, you have to come back!"

"Mom will, go find Dad." The woman said, and without waiting for Nana's response, she turned and flew away.

Not far away was a small forest, and the woman's figure was swiftly moving through it. Some small animals only saw a shadow approaching from a distance, and before they could even react, it had already landed in the distance again.

However, even at such a fast speed, she still couldn't escape the suffocating feeling that was getting closer and closer. Her heartbeat kept accelerating, and she could feel her soul trembling, as if she were bound by a prison.

Her legs grew heavier and heavier, and before she had even left the forest, she could barely lift them. Glancing around, she finally stopped.

"Number six?"

A vague voice sounded from behind her. The woman turned around, and after seeing the person in front of her clearly, she suddenly stopped.

She also remembered this mask. That night, the Eighth Elder personally introduced the person in front of them to them.

Although she was only a Holy Servant, she was also familiar with some of the things in the Holy Spirit Church. Unlike disciples such as the Holy Spirit and Holy Servant, the Holy Envoys had varying levels of cultivation, but without exception, they were all representatives of several elders, and some might even become new elders in the future.

Apart from occasionally fighting around like the Holy Spirit and the Holy Servant, he mostly eradicates heresy for the Holy Church.

Was it because I left without permission that the Holy Spirit Church considered me a heretic?
On the other side, Lin Xiao was also looking at the Holy Servant No. 6 in front of him.

Following the previously determined direction, Lin Xiao flew all the way to this village. It wasn't too far from Mingdu, and there were quite a few families in the village. Just as he released the remnant soul again to confirm its identity, Saint Servant No. 6 seemed to sense something and suddenly flew away.

It was this movement of hers that made Lin Xiao notice the simple courtyard.

The familiar name and the familiar experience made Lin Xiao reconsider the Holy Servant Number Six. Compared to her previous time in the Holy Spirit Church, although her soul was still incomplete, her movements were not much different from those of an ordinary person.

What kind of power caused her to change like this, or was there some flaw in the soul-raising ceremony?
For a moment, the Holy Servant No. 6 in front of him made him even more curious.

"Can you... let me go?"

Although he knew that there was little hope, Holy Servant No. 6 still spoke in a low voice.

If she were alone, she wouldn't be afraid of death. However, she still had concerns in her heart, for the one she loved deeply. She wanted to accompany her lover to fulfill all the wishes they had made, and to watch their children grow up day by day.

"Because of your husband and children?"

Holy Servant No. 6 suddenly raised his head, clenched his fists, and his eyes kept changing, as if he was brewing something.

"Don't even think about attacking me. Your ghostly spirit poses no threat to me. Besides, the other half of your soul is still with me."

Lin Xiao raised her hand, and a translucent shadow appeared in her palm, surrounded by petals, imprisoning her like a cage.

"I... I have never told anyone about my identity or the Holy Church. They know nothing about me. I am willing to sacrifice myself for the Holy Church. Can... Can..."

The hands of Holy Servant No. 6 couldn't stop shaking. She lowered her head as if she had lost all her strength, saying things that even she herself thought were impossible.
