The blazing flames sealed off all possibilities for Tang Ya to leave.

The overwhelming pressure forced Tang Ya to give up resisting.

The remaining tasks can only be left to Bei Bei. Just as Tang San said, healing the heart is something that can only be entrusted to close relatives most of the time.

Regarding Tang Ya's situation, Ji Siyuan didn't fully trust Bei Bei either. He felt too sorry for Tang Ya; even though he knew she might try to harm him, he would still try to satisfy her.

Thus, the five remaining members of the Tang Clan gathered together.

"Alright, pooling our wisdom is one way. Let's all think of a solution." Ji Siyuan explained the process.

How Ji Siyuan found out is not important.

"Are evil soul masters really that scary?" Huo Yuhao had never heard of evil soul masters, and Wang Dong'er knew very little about them.

"It's absolutely terrifying," Bei Bei said sadly. "Evil Soul Masters aren't normal Soul Masters. Many of them cultivate by drinking human blood or devouring souls. To improve their cultivation level, they don't hesitate to slaughter an entire village or even a city, directly endangering hundreds of thousands of people."

Beibei looked at the bound Tang Ya: "Xiao Ya's martial soul has already awakened such power. Fortunately, she hasn't had time to become an evil soul master yet."

Tang Ya screamed, "Bei Bei, don't you believe me either? I won't do that, I will never become an evil soul master."

Huo Yuhao felt a pang of sympathy. He looked at Ji Siyuan and said, "Can't you control this power? I believe that power is neither good nor evil; it only depends on whether the user uses it for the right purpose."

It was a perfectly sound line of reasoning, but only theoretically. Whether others could control it was unknown, but Ji Siyuan knew whether Tang Ya could.

"So guess how the sect leader plans to seek revenge on a Soul Emperor and the sect he belongs to? And in the short period of time before we grow strong enough to defeat a Soul Emperor." The rhetorical question serves as a substitute for an answer, and people will naturally have an answer in their hearts.

Tang Ya isn't even a Soul Master yet. If she wants to quickly seek revenge against the Soul Emperor and become stronger than them, the only way is to devour him.

Ji Siyuan: "At first it will be a blade of grass, then a clump of bushes, then a big tree. Slowly, spirit beasts will also become targets, until they discover that humans are the best food." He looked at Tang Ya: "Sect Leader, how far have you progressed? You should be approaching spirit beasts by now, right?"

Trees and flowers are mostly unable to express their emotions; devouring and absorbing them is simply another form of utilization. Soul beasts are the same, but because they roar in pain, they will be slightly delayed when they reach this point.

Just as Ji Siyuan had predicted, Tang Ya was initially terrified of her devouring attribute, but the life force of the plants and trees she devoured allowed her to cultivate much faster, so she gradually accepted it. This departure was her determination to cultivate using the life force of soul beasts.

Under Ji Siyuan's gaze, Tang Ya could only lower her head, avoiding face-to-face contact with the others.

Ji Siyuan took out a section of Dark Blue Silver Grass that hadn't been burned: "Its quality is much better than normal Blue Silver Grass. I won't guess what a martial soul of this quality would do; let Beibei do it."

As the person who knows Tang Ya best, Bei Bei knows exactly what Tang Ya will do. She will definitely become complacent because of her increased strength, and then, completely unaware of the difference in strength between herself and her opponent, she will rashly attack out of resentment and ignorance. In the end, she will be forced to devour humans and completely become an evil soul master.

As he pondered the situation step by step, Bei Bei became even more determined to change Tang Ya's mindset. He dared not ask others for help, fearing they would directly harm Tang Ya. He could only choose to protect her silently.

Huo Yuhao felt increasingly uneasy, as he felt that Electrolux's methods were very much like those of an evil soul master who toyed with life.

"The path they take is merely a side road beside the main road. It doesn't even touch the edge of necromancy! My necromancy is sacred and radiant." Electrox noticed Huo Yuhao's thoughts and immediately retorted, determined not to associate himself with a group like evil soul masters.

"These so-called evil spirit masters disregard human life for their cultivation, purely trampling on the path of death. If Yutong encounters them in the future, she should kill these heretics if possible." The evil spirit masters' trampling on life and death enraged Ilex.

Bingdi and Tianmeng also reassured Huo Yuhao. The power of Electrolux felt pure and gentle, and it was definitely not that of an evil soul master.

After feeling reassured about his future, Huo Yuhao began to worry about Tang Ya, since Tang Ya didn't have a teacher like Electrolux.

"I absolutely won't. Even if I did kill someone from the Iron Blood Sect with Dark Blue Silver Grass, I would only stay where I am and wait to die. I would never do anything evil or harm anyone," Tang Ya vowed solemnly. She still wanted to take revenge alone. This was her unresolved issue.

Hearing this promise, Ji Siyuan almost laughed: "Absolutely won't go out to do evil and harm people? Sect Master, aren't you overestimating your willpower, underestimating this temptation, and even more so, underestimating the existence of the evil soul masters?"

"You think everything will be alright after you killed the Iron Blood Sect's leader and reclaimed the Tang Sect's residence?"

"Putting aside the fact that you haven't given any consideration to how the Tang Sect should develop, you're only thinking that one battle can solve all the problems?"

"Even setting aside development issues and focusing solely on combat, even if you defeat the Soul Emperor, how much mental fortitude will you retain? Will you be able to resist this temptation?"

"Besides, don't forget you're not the only evil spirit master in this world. If a powerful evil spirit master were to take you away, could you resist?"

Every word struck Tang Ya's heart like a knife. Of course, she knew how many horrific experiments the little evil spirit master could be subjected to after being taken away by a powerful evil spirit master.

That last sentence is an undeniable possibility. Bei Bei, who was already slated to enter the inner courtyard, knew all this and had warned Tang Ya to be careful. If Tang Ya's talent caught the attention of other powerful evil soul masters, being taken away would be a certainty. Whether Tang Ya would return after that was another matter entirely.

Ji Siyuan pressed on while the iron was hot: "The reason you can still break up with Beibei now is because you know he cares about you, and you care about him too. But what about after you're kidnapped and brought back? You probably won't even know who Beibei is anymore. You'll only know that he's a blood sacrifice, a soul slave, a domesticated product that you can absorb to improve your cultivation."

"No, no, no!" Tang Ya was in unbearable pain and did not want to imagine the consequences.

Ji Siyuan didn't want to linger any longer: "I don't care what choice you make, as long as you become an evil soul master, that means death! I will make you vanish into thin air."

He stood up: "I'll take advantage of the holiday to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. I hope you can suppress her while I'm gone."

If Tang Yaruo could still leave under the watchful eyes of many people, then she could only accept her fate, but that was only a possibility.

Ji Siyuan did not choose to stay behind to help guard the place, because he sensed a guiding force from the heavens, directing him to the Starry Sky to obtain this power.
