Douluo Continent: What do you mean this is the Holy Spirit Cult?

Upon hearing this result, the squad leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps nearly fainted.

What could be worse than the current situation?

Traces of Level 6 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were found within the imperial capital, and three Level 6 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were directly detonated.

If I had to say, perhaps only a series of massive explosions caused by fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in Mingdu could be worse than this news.

However, given that the latter has an extremely low probability of occurrence, almost zero.

This is already the worst time.

He was now internally churning with thoughts of shifting the blame directly to his boss.

As for who his boss shifted the blame to, that's none of his business.

Just as this squad leader in the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps began his blame-shifting campaign and started turning the entire Soul Master Corps of Mingdu into a complete mess, Qi Li was completely unaware of the mess he had made of Mingdu.

He is currently working with Nana and other members of the Holy Spirit Cult to send all the souls controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult to their next life.

These souls are almost entirely the souls of relatives of the members of these Holy Spirit Cult branches.

It is precisely because of these souls that the members of these Holy Spirit Cult branches are forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult.

According to the information Giri obtained from the soul of the Holy Spirit Cult branch elder, the Holy Spirit Cult's control over these members is quite astonishing.

It's not just about PUA; more importantly, members of these Holy Spirit Cult branches are required to devour the souls of their own relatives to complete the final ascension ritual. This behavior further fueled Qi Li's disgust for the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters.

However, after these members of the Holy Spirit Cult said goodbye to their parents, they unexpectedly received a pleasant surprise.

One after another, milky-white soul beams entered his body. The remnants of his soul that had been left behind after absorbing the soul of the Great Holy Spirit were quickly and completely decomposed, transforming into the power of his original soul.

Qi Li also noticed that his mental strength had increased significantly. The patterns and carving techniques of the core array of the soul tool that had previously given him a headache now seemed so easy and simple to him.

Perhaps one day he can actually become a level nine Soul Master by relying on his powerful mental strength.

Although it doesn't sound like there are any tricks involved, it's all just numbers.

But having numerical values ​​is good enough!

Level 9 soul tools are so amazing!

"Master? What are you thinking about?"

"what?"

Qi Li found it hard to accept how Nana addressed him, after all, you could tell just by looking at their skin color.

This title is only suitable for women of the Sun Moon Empire with fair skin, like Nana, who are often seen as dark-skinned.

He's a typical Douluo Continent person.

"You should probably use a different form of address. I don't have any penchant for keeping slaves. As for helping you rescue your parents' souls..."

This is a deal we had already agreed upon.

You'll be free from now on. You can do whatever you want and go wherever you want.

As for me, I still have to fight for my freedom.

Qi Li had no intention of getting closer to Nana.

Although Nana is beautiful and fits my aesthetic standards.

But Nana isn't suitable.

Now, facing the behemoth that is the Holy Spirit Church, he has to worry about his life and safety every moment.

How could he possibly maintain a close relationship with Nana under such circumstances?

Even assuming, hypothetically, that he maintained a close relationship with Nana, and she were actually kidnapped by the Holy Spirit Cult, could he calmly make a decision? The answer is no, he couldn't.

Therefore, it's better to maintain sufficient distance from the beginning.

This would be a good choice for both Nana and him.

It also allows them to face potential crises in a stronger state.

After refusing Nana's offer to call him "master," Qi Li resumed his normal life.

The Mercenary Guild replied that they had found the ancient underground spider he was looking for.

Mercenary Guild.

Qi Li frowned as he looked at the cave of the Cave Demon Spider and the traces left by the Cave Demon Spider's life, which were captured by the image-recording soul tool.

"It is indeed a cave spider, and its body length is about three meters but less than three and a half meters, which means that it has indeed exceeded ten thousand years."

But are there no other options? This ten-thousand-year-old cave spider is a bit too young.

Qi Li was not satisfied with the age of this cave spider. The fact that the cave spider was no more than 3.5 meters tall meant that it was at most a little over 10,000 years old, or even less than 15,000 years old.

This is more than enough for most Soul Kings, and even enough for some weaker Quasi-Soul Emperors as their sixth Soul Ring.

Not to mention that Qi Li only wanted to absorb his fourth spirit ring.

However, while that's what they say, the logic doesn't hold true.

Qi Li's strong physical and mental abilities enabled him to successfully absorb the spirit ring of a 20,000-year-old Earth Fire Dragon when he was on his third spirit ring.

If he had a choice for his fourth spirit ring, he wouldn't want one from a cave spider that had just passed its ten-thousand-year lifespan.

However, the receptionist at the Mercenary Guild looked troubled when faced with his question.

"I'm sorry, sir, we would like to obtain more information about this excellent soul beast, but it is clear that it will require additional physical and human resources for investigation and preparation before we can get the best results."

Although it wasn't said directly, Qi Li understood what the Mercenary Guild meant. They were basically saying they'd have to pay more, and they weren't sure when they could find them.

While continuing to wait might yield information about other Cave Spiders, Qi Li certainly couldn't wait for the Mercenary Guild to conduct an investigation before taking action.

Yan Feng's existence has forced him to accelerate his growth.

So be it, the Cave Demon Spider that just broke through ten thousand years is just a Cave Demon Spider that just broke through ten thousand years. When I become stronger, I can make up for the lack of soul ring age through the secret methods of the Holy Spirit Cult.

He set off immediately.

In the desolate Soul Beast Forest of Sunset Forest, there still hides a ten-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Spider.

This was good news for him, and it also allowed him to investigate whether the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well from the original Douluo Continent text he had read still existed.
