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

Chapter 37 Take action
What exactly is a soul?
This is a rather profound question. In Lin Xiao's memories of his previous life, it seems that many people have given answers, but they do not seem to be accurate.

In this world, even though Lin Xiao possesses a martial soul like the red spider lily and is born with the ability to sense souls, it seems that he cannot clearly explain what that thing is.

Just as everyone knows that they are human and can control their own behavior and thoughts, not everyone can clearly explain where humans come from and what their essence is composed of.

He only knew that the soul carried the memory and will of the living being. And today, he also saw that the soul could be "made".

After the soul-summoning tree attracted the remaining souls, it could use them to condense into completely unrelated images. When the three-headed giant dog appeared behind him, he actually sensed the aura of a hundred thousand year old soul beast. Although it was only superficial and very weak...

The night in the Star Dou Great Forest was not peaceful. The sound of the wind blowing past his ears was mixed with the breath of various soul beasts. However, Lin Xiao turned a deaf ear to all of this and was completely immersed in the spiritual world.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo had spent so much time searching for soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Although it was unknown what other motives he had, at least he didn't want to see himself die so easily. He had little time left, and there was no chance for him to find a completely safe place to think things through.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, standing nearby, listened to Lin Xiao's long breathing and seemed to sense something, but after a quick glance, he paid no further attention. In his opinion, with him, a Titled Douluo, around, it wasn't surprising that Lin Xiao could cultivate so peacefully.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and even the four people captured by Sleepy Douluo were feeling a little tired. Just as they leaned together and prepared to have a good rest, a sharp howl came from the depths of the forest.

Just like the cry of a human child, Lin Xiao's mind trembled suddenly and he woke up from his meditation instantly. The four soul masters beside him no longer showed any signs of tiredness, and their legs trembled violently and uncontrollably.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo suddenly stood up and looked towards the darkness in surprise and doubt.

"A hundred thousand year soul beast?"

The air seemed to become a little deeper with this shriek, and the soul beasts that were captured alive trembled and showed signs of waking up.

The appearance of a hundred thousand year old spirit beast in the Star Dou Great Forest was not surprising, but Nightmare Douluo's expression became increasingly grim. Although he was a Titled Douluo, he was not considered a powerful one among Titled Douluo, and he was somewhat intimidated by the hundred thousand year old spirit beast.

He looked back at the soul beasts and suddenly said, "You guys flee out of the forest first. I'll see if I can lure it away."

Lin Xiao could also feel the gloomy atmosphere in the air. Although he felt a little strange, he didn't say much and headed towards the outside.

"Still not following?"

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo looked aside, his expression turning cold.

The soul masters looked at each other, picked up the soul beasts, and followed in the direction Lin Xiao left.

"What a pity..." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo smacked his lips and slowly disappeared from the spot.

Lin Xiao kept walking, which attracted the attention of many soul beasts in the outer area. However, with his strength, these soul beasts living in the outer area could not threaten him.

"Brother—Brother—"

The burly man was still carrying a bag on his back, but since Lin Xiao had dealt with the soul beast blocking the way in advance, he was able to catch up with them with difficulty.

"Young man, wait for us." The sturdy man panted and looked back, as if to see if the 100,000-year-old soul beast had caught up with them.

"Brother, do you know what that 100,000-year-old soul beast is? Is your teacher a match for it?"

Lin Xiao glanced at the burly man but didn't speak. If they were to meet head-on, Lin Xiao didn't think Nightmare Douluo would stand a chance. His Nightmare Martial Soul was incredibly powerful against ordinary people and those with lower cultivation levels, capable of killing silently. However, against someone with comparable cultivation, its effectiveness was greatly reduced.

If Nightmare Douluo stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest...

This idea suddenly popped up in Lin Xiao's mind, but it was destined to be just a thought. Sleeping Nightmare Douluo was not someone who would fight with a soul beast to the death. He would probably try to escape if something went wrong.

Seeing that Lin Xiao remained silent, the burly man pressed the issue, "Brother, I heard the cry of that soul beast sound like a child crying. It seems to be a night owl. It's a very powerful soul beast."

Lin Xiao's thoughts had been immersed in the sea of ​​​​spirituality before, and the sudden change did not make him think too much. When he heard the words of the strong man, something suddenly flashed through his mind.

His expression changed and he turned his head abruptly, "Throw away the pocket on you."

"what?"

The sturdy man was stunned, but subconsciously let go.

Several people kept moving. Lin Xiao looked back at the pocket that was getting farther and farther away, his eyes narrowed slightly.

No wonder he felt something was wrong. Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was never a selfless good man. When he heard the movement of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, why would he take the initiative to stop it?

The ones who were left behind weren't Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, but the others. In that pocket was a 40,000-year-old Ghost-Faced Owl. Although he didn't know if the appearance of this 100,000-year-old soul beast was related to this matter, seeing Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's reaction, he decided to leave it behind.

The burly man who had been following Lin Xiao seemed to realize something. He let out a sigh of fear, flexed his wrist, and moved a little closer to Lin Xiao.

"By the way, little brother, what's this Holy Religion you were talking about earlier?"

As they were talking, the other three gradually approached.

"Isn't that some evil soul master organization?" The third brother, who had been apologizing to Lin Xiao repeatedly, suddenly changed his expression. "It seems to me that your teacher doesn't take you very seriously."

"I never thought that we brothers would have the chance to rid the people of harm one day."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp aura rushed straight towards Lin Xiao's back.

These four people seemed to have practiced this countless times. They surrounded Lin Xiao. At the same time as the man behind him took action, several attacks were launched towards Lin Xiao's legs and hands.

"That fifth one of yours should be the one who attacks the throat and other vital points, right?"

A calm voice sounded, and Lin Xiao seemed to be prepared. His fast pace suddenly stopped, his upper body twisted, and his left arm swung back. A silver-gray dagger appeared in his palm at some point.

Behind him, the third brother who had just spoken was caught off guard and bumped into him head-on.

"If you want to kill people and rob, just say so. Why bother portraying yourself as a good person." With his left arm raised high, the third brother's body drew a semicircle and landed in front of Lin Xiao. In an instant, countless dark red rays of light shot out from his body.
