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

Chapter 327 Escape
"Haha, as the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. My disciple has also fallen for the invitation of a beauty."

"Teacher, even you are making fun of me."

In the vast and boundless "world of the dead," Lin Xiao's consciousness materialized into a figure that appeared there. The gray "sun" in the sky flickered, emitting a faint warmth like light.

Countless remnant souls come and go on the ground. Thanks to the hard work of these remnant souls, the world is no longer as desolate as it was at the beginning.

Several solidified souls were gathered around Lin Xiao.

The "Assassin" was originally just an eighth-level Soul Master. It was only by Lin Xiao forcibly fusing him with other remnant souls that he became complete, and he was almost entirely left with only instincts.

"Soul Devourer" and "Nightmare" were absorbed before he fully understood necromancy. Although they retained some of his consciousness from his previous life, they were not complete.

Only the three souls of Fengshen, Xuedi, and Baihu possess relatively complete memories. Xuedi's situation is even more special; her state is the most complete, and her soul has not suffered any loss.

These three souls are the ones that Lin Xiao summoned back to the mortal world using his ninth soul skill, "Past Life," and were still able to maintain their fighting strength from their previous lives.

Having followed Lin Xiao for some time, Xue Di seemed to have forgotten what happened before. Feng Shen even dared to appear beside her. Although he still didn't dare to get too close, he could at least appear with Xue Di.

Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze from the several souls and looked up slightly at the gray "sun" in the sky.

"Teacher, you've forgotten that when the Holy Spirit Cult participated in that gambling match, there weren't many people guarding the headquarters. It was precisely the opportunity to probe your fragments of consciousness."

“I’ve already discussed this with Orange. Although I don’t know if it will attract the Shrek Academy students there, I will not let this opportunity pass by no matter what.”

"According to the teacher, if that fragment of divine consciousness contains more knowledge related to the soul, then these souls will probably change as well."

Unlike the other souls, Baihu had gradually adapted to this "world of the dead" over the past few days, but looking at Lin Xiao's current appearance, he couldn't immediately connect it with the impression he had left on him before.

The Snow Empress beside him gave him a feeling of dread. To be able to contain such a powerful soul here, it seemed that defeating him so easily back then wasn't such a difficult thing.

Just as Baihu was pondering, Electrolux's voice rang out again out of nowhere, "But in my opinion, that little girl is not as simple as just carrying out the original plan as you said."

"If she really did act as you originally planned, why didn't you just confront her directly, instead of drugging your drink?"

Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment, then shook her head, "Probably..."

"Forget it, anyway, this way I can completely disappear from everyone else's sight, which is a good thing for me. Even if something goes wrong when I get back to headquarters, they won't suspect me for a while."

"Moreover, if we can successfully obtain the teacher's fragment of consciousness, we can take this opportunity to learn some new knowledge."

Electrolux only offered a brief reminder, knowing full well that Lin Xiao also had his own plans; otherwise, the dagger from Orange wouldn't have been able to pierce even his level-nine soul tool.

"Let's rest in the tomb tonight. Maybe someone will come back to check." Lin Xiao sighed softly, and his condensed consciousness gradually disappeared into the world of the dead.

Inside the tomb, beneath Lin Xiao's skin, streaks of emerald green light flowed along his blood vessels, and the wound on his chest healed rapidly from the inside out.

Even the ninth-level soul tool Styx Embrace he wore had a shimmering light, as if it were self-repairing.

Soon, all that remained on Lin Xiao's body was a small tear in the outermost cloak and dried blood, which recorded what had just happened.

"Tang Wu, let's go."

Inside the Mingdu Palace, Nether Thunder Douluo glanced at the room, frowned slightly in displeasure, and then beckoned to Huo Yuhao. "Teacher."

Huo Yuhao obediently took two steps forward.

"Sigh, why go to the front lines? It's much better to stay here. I don't want to become the next fourth brother." Ming Lei Douluo complained softly as he closed the door.

Huo Yuhao looked up slightly at Ming Lei Douluo's expression, somewhat curious about what had happened to the "fourth brother" he mentioned, but he didn't dare to ask and could only follow silently behind.

"Alright." Nether Thunder Douluo turned around. "After we return to headquarters this time, you can officially become my disciple, and I will arrange for you to enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy."

Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.

Huo Yuhao secretly memorized Ming Lei Douluo's words. Having followed Ming Lei Douluo for the past few days, he had gleaned a great deal of information from the casual remarks Ming Lei Douluo made.

The relationship between the Sun Moon Empire, Mingde Hall, and Holy Spirit Cult is already crystal clear.

Only "headquarters"...

"Teacher, where exactly is the headquarters we're going to?"

Upon hearing this, Ming Lei Douluo glanced at Huo Yuhao and said, "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. The headquarters of our Holy Spirit Sect is located in the Demon Forest."

"The Demon Forest?" Huo Yuhao seemed to be simply repeating the words of the Thunder God Douluo.

"Exactly."

"But I've heard that many soul beasts live in the Demon Forest, wouldn't it be very inconvenient to go in and out?"

"Hahaha." Nether Thunder Douluo laughed loudly, "You don't need to worry about that, you will naturally understand in time."

Huo Yuhao followed Ming Lei Douluo out of the stronghold, when suddenly a figure walked past them as they were talking.

Teacher Xiaoya...

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he silently called out to himself before quickly suppressing his expression.

"Tsk." Seeing this, Ming Lei Douluo clicked his tongue. "This old man just left without a word, leaving these disciples here with me. But there hasn't been much business lately, and I don't know what to do with them."

"Forget it, let Lao Ba handle it himself when we get to the front lines." Ming Lei Douluo shook his head, didn't say anything more, and led Huo Yuhao out.

Huo Yuhao remained silent throughout the journey until Ming Lei Douluo led him out of Mingdu's territory and into the air. Only then did he turn slightly to look back.

"what happened?"

"I just feel that no matter how many times I see the Ming capital without city walls, I am always deeply moved."

Ming Lei Douluo also glanced back, "This is just the beginning. As soul tools develop, the role of the city wall will become less and less important."

As he spoke, he didn't linger any longer and flew towards the Demon Forest. After the two left, another figure silently followed.
