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

Chapter 75 Preparation
The wind whistled in his ears, and Lin Xiao was already on his way back to the Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

Just like the "Holy Emperor" before him, even though he had lived in the Holy Spirit Church for more than ten years, he did not dare to say that he understood the entire picture of the Holy Spirit Church. On the contrary, the deeper his contact with it, the more mysterious he found it.

Even in the past ten years, with the status of a Holy Envoy, he had not met all the priests and elders in the Holy Spirit Church.

He only knew that several of the priests were Super Douluo with cultivation levels above level 95, and among the elders, the mysterious chief elder had never shown up.

And now, he wanted to know what this thing called "happy event" by a group of evil soul masters was?
The flying soul guide was extremely fast, and the Demon Forest was not very far from Mingdu. Lin Xiao had already seen the vague outline of the Demon Forest in the middle of the night. Before he got close, a depressing atmosphere slowly spread over him.

Lin Xiao didn't stop and flew over the Demon Forest.

If it was in other soul beast settlements, he naturally wouldn't dare to be so open. After all, there were many flying soul beasts in the forest, and he might intrude into their territory. He would not have the advantage in fighting in the air.

But the Demonic Forest was different. While it was also home to spirit beasts, it was controlled by the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord. The Evil Emperor had a pact with the Holy Spirit Church, and the spirit beasts in the Demonic Forest would not actively attack Holy Spirit Church disciples.

However, as Lin Xiao approached the Demonic Forest and flew overhead, he noticed something unusual. Unlike usual, the Demonic Forest was quite quiet tonight. Even though it was night, when spirit beasts were most active, not much sound could be heard from within.

Seeing that the Holy Spirit Church headquarters was getting closer and closer, Lin Xiao controlled the flying soul guide to gradually slow down. After landing, he found that the lighting soul guide arranged near the door was not the purple color of the past. The dazzling light illuminated the place. There were many more disciples guarding the door than usual.

"Meet the Holy Envoy."

The disciples on both sides bowed slightly to Lin Xiao, and they didn't seem surprised at all that he was here.

"Ah."

Lin Xiao responded and walked inside with some doubts.

He was not a disciple who stayed at the headquarters all year round. The few times he came back before, the people at the door would take a second look at him, but tonight, it seemed as if they had known he was coming.

It was still the same long passage, but tonight, the lighting soul guides on both sides illuminated the entire passage, making the mottled marks on the wall clearer.

"Your Excellency the Holy Envoy, the leader and the elders are all in the front hall."

Lin Xiao ran into a Holy Spirit from the church head-on. The Holy Spirit who would usually just nod and pass by actually spoke on his own initiative, and judging from the tone of his voice, he seemed to know what was happening in the Holy Spirit Church.

No, he must have missed something. Before leaving, he'd looked around the dormitory and seen no signs of the Holy Spirit Church, and the disciples at the branch temple hadn't told him what had happened at headquarters.

Who is deliberately hiding the news from me? Why?
Lin Xiao slowed down his pace, his thoughts kept churning, and soon he continued to move forward.

Regardless of what happened in the Holy Spirit Church, now that he was here, he had no choice but to continue moving forward. Otherwise, leaving rashly would only arouse suspicion among the others in the church. His spiritual ascension ritual could not withstand verification.

Just as the Holy Spirit said, when Lin Xiao walked into the hall, Zhongli Wu was sitting in the main seat, with several priests and elders sitting on both sides, but the mysterious elder still did not show up.

In addition to them, there were several holy envoys here, and even Merck, the new disciple of the Third Elder, was standing closely behind him.

Seeing Lin Xiao's figure, Zhongli Wu's expression paused slightly, and he suddenly turned to look at Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

The others naturally noticed Lin Xiao coming in. Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's expression changed slightly. He glanced around and suddenly said, "Since you're here, come over."

"is teacher."

Lin Xiao said nothing more and walked to stand behind Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

Seeing the scene before him, Lin Xiao roughly understood why no one seemed surprised to see him, whether at the entrance or on the street. It was because the disciples of several elders had all returned to headquarters that evening. However, he had returned to headquarters to find out what this "joyful event" was, not because he had received a notification from Nightmare Douluo.

Lin Xiao lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the Nightmare Douluo in front of him through the mask. Why was he hiding this from him?

"Okay, where were we just now?" Zhongli Wu interrupted Lin Xiao's thoughts, "Have the sacrifices been prepared?"

"Reply to the Master, everything is ready."

The person who stood next to Zhongli Wu and spoke was none other than Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, the Sixth Priest of the Holy Spirit Church whom Lin Xiao had met last time.

"Bring it with you."

As Zhang Peng finished speaking, two disciples of the Holy Spirit Church walked out from a nearby passage. Behind them were dozens of children, both boys and girls. The oldest one looked less than ten years old.

And behind these children were dozens of young men in their twenties.

When these young men appeared, Lin Xiao's gaze instantly fell on the soul guides on their wrists.

He was not unfamiliar with this kind of soul guide. It was clearly a soul guide used to suppress soul power. The identities of these young people were not difficult to guess. They were obviously soul masters with cultivation.

"Master, the eighty best-looking people are already here. The others are just extras."

"That's enough." Zhongli Wu looked at the people in front of him without any fluctuation in his eyes. He just nodded slightly and asked, "How are the disciples of the sect preparing?"

"All disciples with suitable cultivation and martial spirits have been notified in advance." Zhang Peng said as he glanced at the people around him, "I just don't know if the priests and elders have any other needs."

As soon as he finished speaking, many eyes fell on Lin Xiao, even Zhongli Wu looked at him.

Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know what was going to happen next, so he could only continue to stand there motionless.

However, the Nightmare Douluo sitting in front of him couldn't sit still anymore and turned to look at him, "When did you reach the bottleneck?"

"It's been a while." Lin Xiao responded truthfully.

"How many years of spirit ring do you want?"

"About fifty thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo looked at Lin Xiao again.

The sixth soul ring of an ordinary soul master is limited to around 20,000 years, and soul rings over 50,000 years old are only considered when reaching the Soul Sage level. Although Lin Xiao had undergone the baptism of the soul ascension ceremony, his physical strength comparable to that of a Soul Sage still made Sleepy Nightmare Douluo take a second look.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiao naturally didn't say too much, just nodded.

"Come with me then."

"Get ready to go." Zhongli Wu saw that Sleepy Nightmare Douluo and Lin Xiao had made their decision, so he stood up.
