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

Chapter 6 Escape
what?
Lin Xiao thought he had misheard. Although he didn't know the child, the clothes he wore were made of exquisite materials and workmanship, clearly not from an ordinary family. Furthermore, since he came from the imperial palace, he could easily guess his identity.

He wasn't surprised that the Holy Spirit Cult would help Xu Tianran kill someone, but rescuing someone from the palace wasn't like the Holy Spirit Cult's style. For a moment, he thought someone had used a spirit skill to imitate the voice of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

"Help him escape, why are you still standing there?"

The voice of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo became clearer, and he urged again.

Lin Xiao no longer hesitated after hearing this, and suddenly rushed out from the shadows, rushing straight towards the child. Having lived in the Holy Spirit Church for so long, he also knew that it was better not to ask too many questions about some things.

The private soldiers wandering around were gradually surrounding the east gate. However, before they could ask clearly, a dark figure came from behind them. His appearance could not be seen under the cover of night. Only the black cloak was seen rising, and the boy who came out of the east gate disappeared.

"No, chase!"

The sounds of the private soldiers behind Lin Xiao could be heard from afar, but soon his trace disappeared.

"who are you?"

The boy in Lin Xiao's arms was a little dazed, but he quickly calmed down. He vaguely glanced at the buildings on both sides that were constantly retreating. The boy knew that the person who took him away must have a very high level of cultivation, far superior to those private soldiers just now.

However, the only response the boy received was a mask made of some unknown metal and a muffled voice.

"I'll take you out of here."

"Are you one of Father's men?" The boy's expression was a little agitated. "Father is still in there. A very scary person has come to the palace. And Mother and my sisters... Can you go and save them?"

Lin Xiao didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, and then rushed out of Mingdu with all his heart.

Not to mention that he was in cahoots with the guy inside, even if he wanted to save him, not everyone could easily defeat Zhongli Wu.

However, listening to the tone of the boy in his arms, Lin Xiao probably already knew this person's identity. If he guessed correctly, he was Xu He, the prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, and also the future "source of destruction" He Cai Tou.

In his impression, the original He Caitou would flee Mingdu when Xu Tianran and his son launched a coup, and fled all the way to the Tianhun Empire to be adopted by Shrek Academy.

Originally, he was a little puzzled as to how a nine-year-old child could escape from Mingdu alone without being perceived by a Titled Douluo. Now, it seemed that there might be other reasons.

From time to time, there were violent fluctuations of soul power in the air. Although Zhongli Wu moved quickly and tried his best to conceal the movement, there were still many masters outside the palace who noticed the abnormality and confronted the people from the Holy Spirit Sect who were blocking the way outside the palace.

"Jing Hongchen, what are you going to do?"

In the Royal Soul Guidance Academy of the Sun-Moon Empire, several figures rose from the Mingde Hall. However, before they could make any move, another group of people also rose into the air and blocked their way.

"Master, our Mingde Hall only serves the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire. As for the internal affairs of the royal family, we should not interfere."

"Shouldn't we be involved?" The head of Mingde Hall looked towards the palace. "Then who did you let into the palace tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen remained silent, simply standing quietly in front of the crowd. The head of Mingde Hall was about to say something more when his gaze suddenly turned to the distance. Bright lights illuminated the streets of Mingdu City, and shouts of battle echoed from afar.

"Come on -"

"Protect His Majesty—"

On the other hand, Lin Xiao had the cultivation level of a Soul King after all, so it was not difficult for him to hide his figure with a nine-year-old child. However, just as they left the vicinity of the palace and approached the outskirts of Mingdu, bursts of noisy sounds came from outside Mingdu.

The commotion in the palace had just subsided when the army that had been waiting outside the city received the news and rushed into the city under the leadership of Xu Tianran's father Xu Jing.

The sound of orderly footsteps rang out on the street, and the shops on both sides that had not yet closed were crowded with ordinary people who had not yet rested. Everyone looked at this army that came from nowhere with confusion, and they didn't know what had happened in the palace.

There is still a huge gap between the world of ordinary people and the world of soul masters. Under the deliberate blockade of the Holy Spirit Church, they have no idea that earth-shaking changes have taken place in the palace.

In a secluded alley, Lin Xiao peered out to observe the passing troops. They all radiated soul energy fluctuations, and their spirit guides clearly showed they were no ordinary equipment. A faint, invisible murderous aura emanated from them, clearly a team seasoned in actual combat.

Although he didn't know which army they were from, their strength was no less than that of the Soul Master Corps of the Sun-Moon Empire. Xu Jing had invested heavily in tonight's event by bringing in such a team.

"who?"

A strong light suddenly shone from the army onto them, completely dispelling the shadows in the alley. Seeing Lin Xiao's attire, several people immediately surrounded him.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly. He hadn't expected them to notice such a remote place, given the distance and the soldiers' abilities. Could it be that Xu Jing had brought all the soul-detecting instruments in the army?
His attire was perfectly suited for concealing his form, but once noticed, it would arouse suspicion, as it did now. Furthermore, beneath his cloak was Xu He, a child he couldn't see.

It is impossible for these people not to know the prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, and the clothes on Xu He are also easy to attract attention.

Seeing more soldiers gathering around after noticing something was amiss, Lin Xiao had already made up his mind.

Although the Holy Spirit Cult had a partnership with Xu Jing and his son, Xu He's origins remained unclear. Tonight's events shaped the future of the Holy Spirit Cult. If this were to happen before Xu Jing, Sleeping Nightmare Douluo would likely not claim it was his order.

There is still a chance to escape at this time, but once you are completely surrounded by the fully armed soul guide army, it will be a fantasy to leave.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao raised his hand and bent his palm. His fingertips passed across the palm, and drops of blood floated up. The first soul ring lit up with yellow light. With flesh and blood as the medium, seeds of the other shore condensed into shape.

The soul power surged, and dozens of dark red streams of light shot out in front of Lin Xiao.

Although the seed looked harmless, its power could not be underestimated. The soldier standing at the front had not yet seen what it was. Just as he put up the soul shield, his body was hit by a soul cannon and fell backwards suddenly.

Before the other soldiers could react, Lin Xiao leaped up, his toes tapping against the walls on either side. In a flash, he had landed on a nearby rooftop. With a tap of his foot, his body continued to leap, quickly disappearing along the rooftop into the night.
