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

Chapter 27 Holy Emperor
"can."

"what?"

"I said, I can spare their lives." Lin Xiao looked at Holy Servant No. 6 and repeated.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Holy Servant No. 6 prostrated himself on the ground, as if he was afraid that Lin Xiao would go back on his word. The next moment, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest.

But just as she raised her arm, she saw Lin Xiao suddenly step forward and hold her wrist tightly.

"You don't have to rush to sacrifice yourself for the Holy Church."

Holy Servant Number Six looked up at Lin Xiao. Having spent so many years in the Holy Spirit Church, she had heard of some of their tactics, and a hint of fear rose in her heart, but it was quickly suppressed.

Her hand loosened, the dagger fell to the ground, and she bowed down again, "Please drive me, sir."

"It's not like I was driving you..." Lin Xiao lowered his voice and stared closely at Holy Servant No. 6. "I want you to tell me what exactly happened during your ascension ceremony?"

The souls of other Holy Spirits in the sect were in the hands of the Holy Spirit Sect, so Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't ask them anything. But since the soul of Holy Servant No. 6 was in his hands, he simply spoke directly.

At the same time, his hands were not idle either. His soul power surged, and the red spider lily in his right palm was already emitting a red light.

He didn't know what the steps of the soul-raising ceremony were, nor was he sure whether there were any undisclosed restrictions left on those who had undergone the soul-raising ceremony.

But as long as there is even the slightest mistake in the situation, he can guarantee that the Holy Servant No. 6 in front of him will be destroyed in an instant.

Having experienced several ups and downs in such a short period of time, Holy Servant No. 6 had no time to think too much and told everything that happened that day in detail.

"I followed the elder into the altar. There was nothing inside except a statue of the Holy Emperor..."

"and then?"

"Then... the statue... worship..." The voice of Holy Servant No. 6 suddenly became intermittent, and his hands unconsciously clasped his head.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao had already gathered his soul power and was ready to use it.

But the next moment, the worst did not happen.

"I'm worshipping... I... I can't remember... I..."

Holy Servant No. 6 hugged her head tightly. It was not known whether it was fear or pain that made her look extremely ferocious, and she let out meaningless roars from her throat.

"Where is the elder who went in with you? What is he doing?"

"...did nothing...he...watched me...worship..."

The soul in Lin Xiao's hand suddenly struggled violently, as if trying to break free from his control and merge with the Holy Servant No. 6 in front of him.

With a shake of soul power, the red spider lily in his hand was put away, and the remnant soul disappeared.

On the ground, Holy Servant No. 6 also seemed to gradually calm down.

Is it because of her incomplete soul that she lost this memory?

Lin Xiao was guessing secretly, and suddenly turned around to look in the direction he came from.

A small figure was hiding behind a tree, covering his mouth with his hands and holding his breath.

However, her actions were extremely clear to the soul master's perception.

"Tap—" Lin Xiao turned and took a step in that direction, when suddenly her cloak was grabbed. "My lord... Holy Emperor... please..."

After Holy Servant No. 6 said this, he finally lost consciousness, and the hand that was holding the corner of Lin Xiao's clothes also slipped down.

Holy Emperor?

During this short period of time, Holy Servant No. 6 mentioned this name more than once. Furthermore, according to her, the ascension ceremony wasn't performed by the elders, but more likely by the Holy Emperor's statue.

Having lived in the Holy Spirit Church for so many years, he naturally knew the name of the Holy Emperor. It was this Holy Emperor that the Holy Spirit Church worshipped.

However, whether it was his memories of his previous life or what he saw in his daily life, this Holy Emperor was more like a title made up out of thin air. He had never seen him display any abilities worthy of being worshipped by the Holy Spirit Church.

Even in his memory, the Holy Emperor never showed up until the destruction of the Holy Spirit Church, as if he had never existed at all.

But if a statue alone could be used to perform a soul-splitting ritual, it wouldn't seem incompetent. Could it be that the Holy Spirit Church actually worshipped a deity?

After thinking in vain, Lin Xiao looked at the unconscious Holy Servant No. 6 in front of him and sighed softly.

As dusk approached, the sky also became dark. A streak of light streaked across the sky and then landed outside the city of Mingdu.

As the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, flying over Mingdu was prohibited, and Lin Xiao was no exception. He put away his soul guide and glanced around as usual, realizing he had actually noticed something.

There were many familiar auras among the people around him. Although their appearances were different, he was very familiar with the soul power fluctuations faintly emanating from them.

These people are probably all disciples of the Holy Spirit Church. They appear here in such a large number. Could it be that Sleepy Nightmare Douluo has returned from the headquarters?
Soon, his guess was confirmed.

There were quite a few people sitting in the underground hall of the branch altar. When Lin Xiao returned here, he felt that it was quite lively for a moment.

"How is the Holy Servant No. 6?" The first one to speak was Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, who must have learned about this from the Holy Spirit here.

"Teacher, the sixth Holy Servant rebelled, and I have already eliminated him."

"Yeah." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo just nodded.

He was just a holy servant, so he didn't care much about it.

On the other hand, another person in a black robe looked at Lin Xiao and said, "I remember that the Holy Servant No. 6 here seemed quite good. It would be a pity to kill her like this... Hey, kid, could it be that you saw her as pretty and hid her away secretly?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao turned his head and looked to the side, and saw that the person who spoke was the Seventh Elder, Masked Douluo.

"Okay, Old Seven, do you think everyone is like you?" The Third Elder interrupted Masked Douluo. "It's just right that Lin Xiao is back, and he can get to know Mo Ke. It won't be long before you two become classmates."

As the Third Elder spoke, he pushed a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old behind him forward.

"Although Merck's cultivation talent is somewhat lacking, his qualifications for soul guides are very good. I plan to send him to the Sun Moon Royal Academy."

"Thank you, teacher." Merck said quickly.

The other elders also nodded, accepting the third elder as their personal disciple.

"Let's stop here for now," the second elder, who was sitting in the main seat, said, and the hall suddenly quieted down. "I didn't bring so many people into the city this time just to chat. My Holy Church should have a share in the underground business of Mingdu."

"If we can swallow the Ordinary Alliance, then Shangguan Weier..." The Seventh Elder Masked Douluo licked his lips and said.

"Seventh Elder!" A trace of anger rose on the Second Elder's face. "How long has it been since you broke through to the Titled Douluo realm and your cultivation has remained stagnant? It's time you took better care of yourself."

"Second brother, I..." Masked Douluo wanted to argue a few more words, but seeing the Second Elder's increasingly ugly expression, he finally did not speak.
