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

Chapter 405 Arriving Upon Hearing the News
"The Tongming Sect?"

"This should be right here?"

On the far northern edge, several figures braved the swirling snow and traveled to the edge of a mountain range. The snow obscured their vision, causing them to unconsciously tighten their clothing.

The enormous ice monument stood motionless in the wind, and the large characters carved on it caught their eye.

"We've finally arrived. We've used up a lot of food along the way. It's freezing cold here, and there aren't many people around. I was afraid I wouldn't make it this far."

A sinister voice came from among the group, immediately eliciting a chorus of sighs.

"Yes, since the Holy Church was destroyed, the leader and the elders have disappeared. They have suffered a lot during this period."

"That's right. When the Sun Moon Empire wanted us to do things, they talked about all sorts of benefits, but then they turned on us and tried to drive us to the brink of ruin."

One of them spoke, which immediately drew a lot of agreement.

"Once we regain our footing, we'll naturally make the Sun Moon Empire know what's what..."

"Shh, don't say anything yet, someone's coming."

As they were talking, someone suddenly emerged from the mountain and approached them after seeing the group near the ice monument.

"Sixth Elder!"

One of them seemed to have recognized the figure emerging from the mountain and instinctively called out.

As soon as the voice fell, the people beside him were startled at first, but then immediately smiled.

“I told you so. Those words that came down from the battlefield a few days ago were not just simple rumors. Anyone who could use such methods must be a member of our Holy Church.”

"As expected, the Tongming Sect is just the Holy Sect with a different name."

"Sixth Elder!" the group said, stepping forward to greet him. "Disciples greet Sixth Elder."

Hearing their address, Abomination stopped and looked at the figures before him. They still carried a faint smell of blood, which even the northern snow could not conceal.

Unfortunately, the group of people who had come from afar had their heads down and did not see the slight furrow in their brows.

After a moment's thought, Hatred seemed to recall Lin Xiao's arrangements and spoke in a deep voice, "Were you all disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult before?"

“Exactly.” The group nodded in agreement.

"Sixth Elder, these are the blood and goat food we hunted on our way here. Although there is not much, please accept them with a smile."

Even within the Holy Spirit Cult, Abomination Douluo rarely greeted anyone except a few elders, as these disciples didn't know him. However, they understood the Holy Spirit Cult, so offering some "benefits" at this time was always a good thing.

He simply shook his head. "You can come with me first. Whether you can join the Tongming Sect depends on the sect leader's decision."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and a look.

Unlike the disciples of the Tongming Sect, who had been hiding in this remote place, the few who had managed to escape had been hiding everywhere ever since the Sun Moon Empire began hunting down evil soul masters, constantly keeping an eye on the outside world.

Therefore, they were aware of the movements of the Sun Moon Empire and the armies of the three great empires, both near Tiandou City and in the past few days, and naturally also heard some news about the current Grand Tutor of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Yes, Elder." The disciples responded verbally, but in their hearts they already considered themselves disciples of the Tongming Sect.

"Sixth Elder, the Sect Leader has displayed great prowess on the battlefield these past few days. Are we about to return to Mingdu soon?"

As the group walked into the mountains, someone stepped forward and mustered the courage to speak.

He just didn't quite understand what the others were talking about. "What do you mean by 'unleashing divine power'?"

"Elder, you don't know?" One of the disciples was taken aback. "News has spread throughout the Sun Moon Empire that a new state religion has been established, named the Tongming Sect, and its leader has been appointed as the Sun Moon Empire's Grand Preceptor." "Just a few days ago outside Heaven Dou City, the Grand Preceptor defeated the Body Sect Master, a level 98 Super Douluo Body Douluo. Wasn't that the work of the Grand Preceptor?"

The Abomination stayed on the edge of the far north, with a storage soul tool. The people in charge of purchasing supplies only went out once in a long while, so they were unaware that countless rumors had already spread outside in just a few days.

He glanced at the group again, but didn't respond directly. "The leader didn't mention it to me."

Those who had followed the Abomination to the Tongming Sect fell silent upon hearing this.

After all, the Abominations were once elders of the Holy Spirit Cult. Although they did not know the current situation within the Tongming Cult, they assumed it was similar to the Holy Spirit Cult of the past and still held the elders in high regard.

But when they entered the mountains and looked at the dwellings of many ordinary people around them, their eyes widened at the same time.

"Sixth Elder, these people... are they all ordinary people?"

“Hmm.” Abomination glanced in the direction of their gaze, nodded, and declined to say anything more.

However, the disciples' eyes were already slightly gleaming, and they stuck out their tongues to lick their lips, keeping their voices extremely low.

"No wonder the leader wanted to establish the Tongming Sect here. In this freezing cold place, how could he not be afraid of being discovered by outsiders by raising so many blood animals?"

"That's right. I didn't expect this place to be even better than the old headquarters. Back then, we had to go out hunting. Only when the Holy Maiden joined the church that night of 'pleasure' did I feel somewhat satisfied."

"It's a pity that after leaving headquarters, I never had that opportunity again."

"Alright, you can stay here until the leader returns."

As the group was talking, Hatred suddenly stopped and pointed to rows of rooms.

"Yes, Sixth Elder."

The abhorrent figure glanced at the group with some unease. "Don't go out during this time. We'll make arrangements for you after the leader returns, otherwise..."

"Yes, elder."

Before he could finish speaking, the others understood his meaning and nodded repeatedly.

They knew that the surrounding blood offerings were naturally reserved for the disciples of the Tongming Sect, and that they themselves were not yet formally members of the sect.

However, they had already made up their minds that no matter how much the Tongming Sect had changed compared to the previous Holy Spirit Sect, they intended to stay here.

After all, for a group of evil spirit masters, nothing is more attractive than these ordinary people around them who have no cultivation and seem to have no defenses.

"The Tongming Sect is truly a good place for people like us."

"Indeed, I wonder how the other disciples of the Holy Sect are doing. If they could hear that the Sect Leader Yingzi has also found his way here, it would be even better if they could share this feast with us..."

"Elder, who are those people?" In the front yard, Wu Yun frowned slightly as he looked at Zang'e.

Hatred did not hide anything and told everything he had heard along the way.

Wu Yun glanced at it from afar and said, "If what they say is true, I'm afraid that more people who have heard of the cult leader's deeds will come here during this period of time."

"We'll have to trouble the elders to keep an eye on things during this time. We can only deal with it after the sect leader returns."

Hatred simply nodded.

And this wait lasted for several months.
