Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 247 Joint Action

Upon hearing Ye Guyi say that the evil soul master in Dragon City was originally her target, Ji Lin looked at Ye Guyi with a strange expression and said, "I heard that this evil soul master in Dragon City was originally active within the territory of the Douling Empire. He was chased all the way to Dragon City. That person wouldn't be you, would it?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's guess, Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen also looked at Ye Guyi with strange expressions.

Feeling uncomfortable under the gazes of the three, Ye Guyi turned her head and said, "Indeed, I chased him all the way from the Douling Empire. I finally encountered an evil soul master, so of course I couldn't let him go."

Ji Lin's lips twitched. Good heavens, really good heavens. They chased him from the Douling Empire to Dragon City of the Tianhun Empire, almost all the way to the far north.

The evil spirit master being chased by Ye Guyi was really unlucky. If it were anyone else, they might have given up halfway, but he just happened to run into Ye Guyi. The Holy Angels would not let any evil spirit master go.

Ji Lin continued, "The appearance of that evil soul master just now was not an accident. He was chasing this girl. And if I'm not mistaken, this girl is a disciple of the Earth Dragon Sect. The Earth Dragon Sect is one of the two major sects in Dragon City. The sect master of the Earth Dragon Sect is a Soul Douluo who can fight against a Title Douluo."

As Ji Lin spoke, he pointed to the two characters "Earth Dragon" on the chest of Zhi Qiuqiu's clothes.

"Since he dared to chase down the Earth Dragon Sect disciples near Dragon City, he must have some confidence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased them all the way to Dragon City. Plus, the evil soul master you were chasing didn't go anywhere else but instead hid in Dragon City. So it's not hard to guess that they have accomplices and aren't afraid of the Earth Dragon Sect's leader. They must be at least Soul Douluo level evil soul masters."

Ji Lin extended another invitation to Ye Guyi, saying, "It's very dangerous for you to act alone. Moreover, you possess the Holy Angel Martial Soul. Once you are discovered by an evil soul master, you will face pursuit from an evil soul master whose strength far surpasses yours. At least in the vicinity of Dragon City, there is an evil soul master at the Soul Douluo level. If you encounter him, you will surely die."

Ye Guyi frowned. She knew that her existence made her an enemy of evil spirit masters, but she had not encountered many evil spirit masters in the past, so she had never taken them seriously and treated them as her prey, hunting them down all over the world.

She looked at Ji Lin and the other two with suspicion and said, "Even so, the three of you are not necessarily stronger than me, so why do you think that we can deal with that evil soul master who is at least at the Soul Douluo level together?"

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Just because we're inner disciples of Shrek Academy, do you think we come out without teachers protecting us?"

Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen looked at Ji Lin with suspicion. They were out on a surveillance mission and didn't have a teacher protecting them, but they trusted Ji Lin, so they didn't interrupt.

Although Ye Guyi had heard of Shrek Academy's reputation, she didn't know much about it, so she believed Ji Lin's words. With Shrek's teachers protecting them, they had nothing to fear from that Evil Douluo.

Ji Lin said without changing his expression, "So if you come with us, at least your life will be guaranteed. Moreover, I have a way to get information from the evil soul masters and find their strongholds. Then we'll go and wipe them out in one fell swoop, and the heads are yours."

Shrek Academy certainly wouldn't send a teacher to secretly protect Ji Lin, but Ji Lin's own teacher would! Let alone an Evil Douluo, even the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult would have to kneel down.

Ye Guyi hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, I'll go with you. Leave that evil spirit master in Dragon City to me; I can find him."

Ji Lin smiled teasingly and said, "Then you'd better hold back this time. Don't kill him, or I'll have to interrogate him."

A blush rose on Ye Guyi's pretty face, and she pouted, saying, "So long-winded!"

Ji Lin picked up the sleeping Nan Qiuqiu in his arms and led the way toward Dragon City, with Ye Guyi, Meng Hongchen, and Ling Luochen following behind him.

In late autumn, the northern part of the continent was already a world of ice and snow. Dragon City, a large city located in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire, was no exception.

As one of the northernmost cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City is shrouded in ice and snow all year round.

As winter approaches, the ground is covered with a thick layer of snow, and snowflakes drift in the air and fall slowly.

Unlike Qianling City in the north of the Douling Empire, Dragon City is surrounded by several towering mountain ranges, which effectively block the cold air from the far north ice plains.

Although the temperature is still very low, the biting cold wind is no longer a problem.

Dragon City's history can be traced back to the Heavenly Dou Empire ten thousand years ago, making it the undisputed largest city in the northeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Within the entire Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City's scale is also among the largest.

The reason people chose to build their city here is because the geographical environment of Dragon City is relatively better than that of the barren northern part of the continent.

The sun rises, and the sudden snowfall clears.

The entire city of Dragon City was bathed in a golden glow from the rising sun. Such clear weather was rare in Dragon City, where snow fell year-round. Early in the morning, the streets were already bustling with activity.

Ji Lin, carrying Nan Qiuqiu, led Ye Guyi and the other two women into the city.

Not long after they entered the city, just as they were about to find a hotel to check into, eight young men approached them.

The young man at the very front was the tallest, nearly two meters in height. He had short, dark blue hair like steel needles and exuded a terrifyingly fierce aura.

Half a step behind him was a red-haired youth. The red-haired youth was broad and sturdy, but he was almost a head shorter than the youth in front.

In Ji Lin's mental detection, both of them were Soul Emperors.

Suddenly, the tall, blue-haired youth at the head of the group fixed his gaze on Nan Qiuqiu in Ji Lin's arms.

His cold expression changed, and his pupils contracted slightly.

The young man with short, reddish-brown hair followed the gaze of the blue-haired youth and saw Nan Qiuqiu in Ji Lin's arms, exclaiming, "Nan Qiuqiu?"

The other six people behind them also realized what was happening and looked at the blue-haired youth in the lead, whispering, "Big brother, it's Nan Qiuqiu!"

The blue-haired youth took immediate action, walking step by step toward Ji Lin and the others. His pace was not fast at all, but he exuded an aura as imposing as a mountain.

If it were an ordinary Soul Master, they would probably feel suffocated under the pressure of his aura.

However, Ji Lin and the others were not ordinary soul masters, so they were not intimidated by the blue-haired youth's aura.

Ji Lin and the others also heard the other party's exclamation and noticed that the other party's gaze was directed at the girl in Ji Lin's arms.

Upon hearing the name Nan Qiuqiu, Ji Lin looked at the girl in his arms in surprise. She was actually Nan Qiuqiu, but why was she being chased by an evil soul master?

The fact that the young master of the mighty Earth Dragon Gate would be hunted down by a Soul King-level evil Soul Master is why Ji Lin didn't initially realize she was Nan Qiuqiu, even though the girl's hair was sparse and pink.
