Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 124 124 Possession

"Master, we can only repay your kindness by serving you like an ox or a horse for the rest of our lives.

Nana knelt before Xiao Qiang, and the others followed suit. Their experiences were similar to Nana's; the souls of their loved ones were trapped within the Holy Spirit Cult. After Xiao Qiang killed the Elder, the Great Holy Spirit, and the Second Holy Spirit, their revenge was complete, and the light of purification freed their loved ones. Therefore, upon learning what had happened, they knelt down like Nana, making the same choice. "We have no way to repay your kindness, and we are willing to follow you for life, serving you like an ox or a horse to repay your kindness."

"Are you sure you want to be treated like slaves? I only eliminated the evil spirit masters to improve my strength. Saving you was just a side effect. Besides, I'm not exactly a good person myself."

"No matter what, Master, you saved us. To us, Master, you are a good person. Without Master purifying our parents' souls, we don't know how much longer our parents would have been tormented. You redeemed our parents' souls, and we are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives."

They had all fallen into despair. Faced with the powerful forces of the Holy Spirit Cult, they wanted to resist but had no power to do so. They could only let those who enslaved their parents continue to enslave them in order to reduce the abuse their parents suffered.

In this hopeless situation, some people have even begun to feel numb. At this time, Xiao Qiang resolved the branch altar and purified the souls of their parents, freeing them from the enslavement of the Holy Spirit Cult. Regardless of Xiao Qiang's reasons, the final result is that their parents' souls are saved, and they no longer need to be enslaved by the Holy Spirit Cult.

They gained real benefits, so why would they care about why Xiao Qiang did it? After all, if Xiao Qiang didn't need evil soul masters to improve their strength, they wouldn't be able to sell themselves for a price enough to eliminate evil soul masters at the Soul Saint and Soul Emperor levels, let alone purify their souls later.

"Alright, then come with me. As for this branch of the Holy Spirit Cult..."

After everyone left the Holy Spirit Cult's branch altar, Xiao Qiang's martial soul instantly switched to Mu En's Holy Light Dragon. Then, he activated his fifth soul skill, Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift, destroying the entire Holy Spirit Cult's branch altar. Afterward, he led his people back to the Earl's Mansion, which had just been opened by the Emperor.

After sending the others to guard the house, Xiao Qiang led Nana into the mansion and saw Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lan.

As for why only Nana was brought along, it's because Nana has higher talent compared to the others.

A seventeen-year-old five-ring Soul King, still at the cultivation speed he controlled because he was afraid of becoming a Holy Servant.

Furthermore, her martial soul is based on her own soul. In the era of Douluo Continent II, which features ultimate martial souls and original martial souls, Nana's talent is arguably no less than that of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. After all, if one's own soul is not considered a gold-level original martial soul, then what else can be considered a gold-level original martial soul?

In the original story, her combat strength was only average in the later stages because she didn't have many resources. After leaving the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, she and those people were busy repaying their debts. She did almost everything the Tang Sect asked her to do and became the Tang Sect's head steward.

Three years have passed since the seventeen-year-old Soul King reached the Soul Emperor level. Her martial soul did not hinder her cultivation. Her situation was purely due to being delayed in cultivation by too many trivial matters, coupled with a lack of subsequent cultivation resources. After all, Huo Yuhao had shared resources with Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu, but had not shared any resources with Nana afterward.

With combat strength as the top priority, Xiao Qiang intended to provide Nana with resources. However, considering the saying "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment," he needed to be cautious about giving Nana resources. It would be best to find a way to make Nana repay the previous kindness, since she had saved his life and his parents, and now he was giving her resources. This could be considered a great favor, and great favors can sometimes turn into irreconcilable enmity. Therefore, he had to be careful when giving Nana resources, and also had to have countermeasures in place.

"Nana."

"Owner."

"Take Xiaolan out first. I have something to say to Asheng alone. Also, for the time being, work as Xiaolan's maid."

"Yes, Master."

After Xiao Lan and Nana left, and after confirming that only he and Xiao Sheng were in the room, Xiao Qiang asked about Xiao Sheng's cultivation level.

"What level is your soul power now?"

Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly. "Only level eight, brother. You shouldn't have given me that pill. It would have been much better for you or Xiao Lan to take it. After all, I was born without soul power. Even with that pill, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate to a very high level."

Because Xiao Sheng was born without soul power, his level five soul power still relied on the effect of the Sun and Moon Divine Pill. Xiao Sheng could not take pills in a short period of time. Otherwise, if he relied solely on pills, even if he ate top-grade pills, it would not be long before Xiao Sheng's soul power stagnated.

During this period, Xiao Sheng could only rely on things that were not pills to help him improve his soul power. However, relying solely on the flesh of soul beasts to assist in cultivation, his level three soul power was already at its limit after more than half a year.

With his soul power, Xiao Sheng simply couldn't absorb anything of a higher level. Even rare and precious treasures like immortal herbs were not suitable for someone like him who had just consumed a top-tier pill.

"It seems you won't reach any great heights using normal cultivation methods."

"Brother, I'm sorry, I've wasted the pills you worked so hard to get." Xiao Sheng looked guilty. Before entering the Soul Master world, he didn't know what Xiao Qiang's gift meant, but after entering the Soul Master world, he knew what Xiao Qiang's gift meant.

Whether it's the Sun and Moon Divine Pill, the meat of soul beasts, or the whale glue that enhances physical fitness, those things are unattainable for ordinary soul masters.

"That pill doesn't work for me, so you don't need to worry about it too much. Since we can't get through this with medicine, let's try another approach."

"Is there another way?" Xiao Sheng's eyes lit up, but then he became worried. "Brother, what's the price of taking this other route? Tell me the truth, what will you have to pay?"

Xiao Sheng aspires to become a powerful Soul Master, a dream shared by everyone on the entire Douluo Continent. However, he cannot accept sacrificing Xiao Qiang to pursue another path.

"Don't worry, it's not important to me. Just be careful not to tell anyone about this."

Before Xiao Sheng could understand what was happening, Xiao Qiang had already taken out the unconscious Yan Feng from his storage soul tool.

"He is...

"The second path I've prepared for you is possession."
