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

Chapter 7 Where to go
"Master Zhongli, I'm afraid this person is not my royal brother's child." Inside the palace, Xu Jing was wearing full armor and looking at the corpses on the ground with a sullen face.

"Could this be true?" Zhongli Wu frowned and looked at Xu Jing.

"Master Zhongli is not a member of our royal family, so he doesn't know." Xu Jing shook his head. "From the moment a child of our royal family is born, his name and birth information are encoded and left in a secret place on the prince's body using secret methods so that his identity can be identified in the future."

"Although this person is wearing royal clothing and has a body similar to that of my royal brother's child, he bears no royal markings and is clearly not the real Xu He." Xu Jing slowly raised his head and looked at Zhongli Wu. "My royal brother is truly calculating. He was able to deceive Master Zhongli."

"What do you mean?" Zhongli Wu's eyes also turned cold, and gusts of cold wind blew into the room, causing the other soldiers around him to shiver continuously.

"Master Zhongli has misunderstood." Xu Jing hastily averted his gaze. "I didn't mean any other thing. I guess it was a confidant trained by my royal brother who sent the real Xu He away. Master, you don't know the secrets of my royal family, so naturally you can't detect it."

"How about this? I will fulfill all my promises to your sect, but I would like to ask you to help me find Xu He."

"Hmph." Zhongli Wu did not comment. He snorted coldly and left the room.

"Father." Xu Tianran didn't walk into the room until Zhongli Wu left. "Cult Master Zhongli..."

"They are, after all, a bunch of evil soul masters who are not worthy of being on the stage." Xu Jing looked out the door with a gloomy expression. "You must remember that you can use them in the future, but you cannot entrust them with important tasks. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Father."

"Well, how's the investigation going?" Xu Jing retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Tianran.

"News just came from the army that the person who took Xu He away might be a level five soul guide."

"Level 5 Soul Instructor?"

"That's right." Xu Tianran nodded. "They saw with their own eyes that person used a very strange soul guide cannon. That dark red attack could penetrate the soul guide shield and directly attack our people."

"Could it really be done by someone close to my royal brother?" Xu Jing seemed to be thinking about it.

On the outskirts of Mingdu, "Level 5 Soul Master" Lin Xiao did not dare to stop at all. Although he had just escaped temporarily, Xu Jing at that time did not know the news that Xu He had escaped from the palace. Although he doubted his identity, he would not pay too much attention to him.

And now, he could clearly feel that more and more troops appeared around him, as if they were looking for something.

"Are they looking for me?" Xu He's voice suddenly came from his arms, "Why don't you put me down, so as not to get yourself into trouble."

Lin Xiao's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked down at Xu He.

He had been living in the Holy Spirit Church since he was a child, and almost all the people around him were evil soul masters. It seemed that he had not heard such words for a long time.

He walked at an unbroken pace, his left arm still tightly wrapped around Xu He's body. "Although Xu Jing and Xu Tianran, father and son, planned to assassinate the emperor, it's impossible for them to arrange everything properly. I can only take you away from Mingdu. After you get out, go find those close associates of your father."

"You should know better than me which of them you can trust. I'll prepare some clothes and some food for you. Once you find them, let them take you away from the Sun-Moon Empire."

Xu He said no more. He looked at the eyes under Lin Xiao's mask, nodded quietly, and let Lin Xiao lead him out of the city.

"Don't go any further, turn northeast, I'll be waiting for you there." The Sleepy Douluo's voice came to Lin Xiao's ears again, and Lin Xiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He shouldn't have to worry about the rest of the journey anymore.

Outside Mingdu, Lin Xiao stood in the dark, watching Xu He gradually disappear in the distance.

"The throne is a good thing. It can make brothers Xu Chang and Xu Jing kill each other for it." The voice of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo sounded beside him.

"Teacher, have you finished dealing with the things in the city?"

"Xu Jing has already led his army into the palace. We can't show up in public, so we'll leave the rest to them." Sleeping Nightmare Douluo also looked in the direction Xu He left. "Are you curious why I asked you to take Xu Chang's child away from Mingdu?"

"Yes, a little bit." Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

"Xu Tianran has a ruthless personality and is decisive in his actions. If we really allow them and their son to have no worries at all, it will be difficult to guarantee the interests of our Holy Church."

"What has happened will surely happen again. If we can allow them to ascend to that position, we can naturally support others to become emperors. As long as Xu Chang's bloodline remains outside, they will never be able to sit in peace in that position."

Listening to Nightmare Douluo's explanation, Lin Xiao wasn't surprised at all. For evil spirit masters, this kind of thing seemed to happen all the time, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"You don't need to understand these things too clearly. You just need to know that the child has other uses for the Holy Church. Next, we need to arrange your destination."

"Teacher, just give me your instructions." Lin Xiao lowered his head slightly.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's what I admire most about you, but this incident is also a good thing for you. Do you still remember Jing Hongchen who I met last night?"

Lin Xiao was not unfamiliar with the name Jing Hongchen. He had noticed it since he heard Xu Tianran's introduction last night.

"Teacher, I remember."

"He is very much to the liking of our Holy Church. As the deputy head of Mingde Hall, he collaborated with Xu Jing and his son to allow the leader to enter the palace. If my guess is correct, he will soon become the head of Mingde Hall."

"It won't be long before many of the sect's disciples will be assigned to the Sun-Moon Empire's Royal Soul Guidance Academy, and you will be one of them."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly at Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's words. While he wasn't opposed to using soul guides, he wasn't particularly interested in crafting them. His status already required him to assist the Holy Spirit Cult, and learning soul guides would inevitably take time away from his cultivation.

"What, you don't want to?"

"No." Lin Xiao hurriedly shook his head, "It's just that I'm afraid I don't have much talent for learning soul guides."

"It's okay, just do your best." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo didn't delve into the matter further. "Even if you don't have much talent, as long as you can use the spirit guide, it'll be fine. Although we won't need to hide like we do now, some abilities still shouldn't be used openly."

"Learning to use soul guides can conceal your identity as an evil soul master. Besides, being a soul master and a soul mentor are not mutually exclusive. You should know that the Supreme Leader of our Holy Sect is not only a soul master with profound cultivation, but also a powerful soul mentor."

Lin Xiao naturally knew who Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was referring to and nodded gently, "I understand, Teacher."
