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

Chapter 49 Raid
Some soldiers walked among them, collecting the bodies and picking up the broken pieces of soul guides. Although the soul guides could no longer be used, they still had some value if melted into metal.

Lin Xiao glanced down at his feet and fished out the remaining half of the amulet from the muddy ground. The pattern on it had been worn away. This amulet, filled with longing and blessings, had ultimately failed to protect its owner.

Some brave crows flew in from a distance, ignoring the soldiers who were still cleaning up the battlefield, and greedily pecked at the corpses on the ground, and a low whimper could be heard from time to time.

The smell on the tip of his nose was something he had long been accustomed to. Looking at the scene around him, Lin Xiao's heart did not fluctuate much. Perhaps he had already become accustomed to such scenes.

The soldiers passing by were intentionally or unintentionally avoiding this place. Lin Xiao took a look and did not stay any longer, heading towards Pingxing City. Now that the war was over, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

Just when Lin Xiao returned to the outside of Pingxing City, he saw Zhongli Wu already appeared here.

"I was just about to pick you up." Zhongli Wu looked at Lin Xiao and quickly smiled. "It seems you've gained a lot."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master."

"That's not necessary. I just happened to think of this." Zhongli Wu said, looking up in the direction of the Mingdou Mountains. "In the future, perhaps my disciples of the Holy Church will be able to gain more from this place."

As Zhongli Wu was speaking, several figures walked out of the city.

"Your Highness, do you really not need to stay in the city for a few days?"

"Captain Liao, there's no need to say more. I've already seen the grand show you've prepared. With Captain Liao here, the Sun and Moon Border is safe."

"In that case, Your Highness, please wait for a moment. I will bring a few people to personally escort Your Highness away."

"No need. The battle just ended last night. Captain Liao still has military matters to attend to. How can he leave so easily? I have several servants here with me. Captain Liao, don't worry."

"Yes." Liao Mengkai said no more and bowed, "Farewell, Your Highness."

Xu Tianran nodded, glanced at Zhongli Wu and Lin Xiao who had already come to the side, turned around and took two steps, then soared into the sky with the flying soul guide.

"Your Highness, according to the previous arrangement, we will head north to the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Sky Soul Empire."

A group of people flew through the air, and someone next to Xu Tianran suddenly moved closer. "Your Highness, are we a little off track?"

"Hmph." Xu Tianran snorted coldly, "I didn't bring too many people with me on this trip. I'm afraid there are quite a few people secretly watching me. I'll have to make a last-minute decision on where to go."

"Why? Are you worried about my safety?"

Xu Tianran's eyes turned slightly colder, and the man beside him felt cold sweat running down his face. After a moment of silence, he suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Xu Tianran.

"Protect His Highness!"

The others shouted loudly, and in an instant, spirit rings of various colors rose up, and spirit guide shields wrapped Xu Tianran's whole body tightly.

Although Xu Tianran himself did not suffer any injuries, the flying soul guide behind him still lost balance after the collision and fell to the ground with Xu Tianran.

Zhongli Wu, who was standing aside, did not make a move until the man who had just made the move was restrained by the other people. Then he stepped forward and grabbed Xu Tianran in his hand.

However, at this moment, a blood-red light came from nowhere and pointed directly at Zhongli Wu's forearm.

Although it looked insignificant, Zhongli Wu still felt a sense of danger from it and had to retract his outstretched right hand.

"Master!" a Holy Spirit Cult elder called out from the side, then quickly scanned the area, and after identifying the direction, a pair of jet-black wings emerged from his back, flying away into the distance. On the other side, Xu Tianran, who was falling continuously, showed no panic. After looking around, seven soul rings suddenly rose around him. He tapped his feet and instantly stabilized his body.

These changes happened in just a moment. Lin Xiao, who was following behind the crowd, was still distracted by his own gains when he saw two figures falling straight down in front of him.

Then, he saw seven soul rings around Xu Tianran.

Although they had been together for several days, it was not until this moment that Lin Xiao realized that Xu Tianran, who had never revealed his cultivation level, was actually a Soul Saint.

But think about it, Xu Tianran's talent is not bad. With the help of various medicines, he was able to break through to the Titled Douluo realm even when he was in his thirties and had a physical illness. It is not surprising that he has such a level of cultivation now.

With a dragon's roar, Xu Tianran's falling body suddenly stopped. Although a Soul Sage-level Soul Master couldn't fly for long periods of time, he was able to stay in the air. No wonder he remained calm.

However, after adjusting his body shape, Xu Tianran did not return directly to the crowd. Instead, he turned around and flew towards another figure that was constantly falling.

Orange's cultivation level was not high, and he was accompanied by others on the journey. In a critical moment like just now, others naturally had no time to care about a child picked up on the road.

Instead, Xu Tianran controlled the flying soul guide and grabbed her.

"Your Highness!"

A cry of surprise suddenly rang out.

The people following Xu Tianran suddenly attacked, and even a soul engineer stopped Zhongli Wu who wanted to save Xu Tianran. How could this long-planned raid be so easy?

Just as Xu Tianran grabbed the orange, a figure "emerged" from behind him.

No one could see where that figure came from. It was as if it had completely merged with Xu Tianran from beginning to end. It was not until he took action that he discovered the presence of another person there.

Even Xu Tianran himself didn't notice the breath of the person behind him. It was the exclamations of others that made him realize that something was wrong.

However, it was too late, a cold light went straight to his back.

The sky suddenly darkened, and Zhongli Wu, who was standing in the air, finally made a move. As the nine soul rings rose one by one, a weapon like a scepter suddenly appeared in his hand. He pointed it forward, and a strong wind blew up in an instant.

Even though the Holy Spirit Church was only cooperating with the royal family, Zhongli Wu could not just watch Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, die in front of him.

The continuous storm made Xu Tianran unstable and also slowed down the movements of the figure behind him.

"puff--"

A cold light flashed, the sharp blade fell, and the sound of a weapon piercing into flesh was heard.

"Your Highness—"

The faces of several other priests on the side were already pale, but when they flew to Xu Tianran's side, they found that the dagger did not fall on Xu Tianran's back, but on Orange's body.

Juzi saw the person coming out from behind Xu Tianran from the very beginning, and her figure had been blocking the way between them since she didn't know when.
