Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 249 Your sect has no one left?

Nan Qiuqiu only remembered being rescued from the pursuit of the evil spirit master. The feeling of surviving the ordeal and the grievances and sadness of fleeing all night erupted at the same time.

She threw herself into a warm embrace and cried, releasing her emotions. The warmth was just like the feeling of being held in her mother's arms when she was a child, a feeling that was intoxicating and irresistible.

(Ji Lin: Meow meow meow! Are you being polite?)

Soon, due to the series of changes and the overnight escape, the physical and mental exhaustion made her fall asleep peacefully in that warm embrace. Soon, Nan Qiuqiu recalled everything that had happened.

Her cheeks flushed red, and she didn't dare to look Ji Lin in the eye. She was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole. She actually threw herself into the arms of a boy she had just met and cried. She even fell asleep in his arms. Although she was a looks-obsessed person, Ji Lin's appearance really appealed to her sexual fetish. Moreover, Ji Lin was her savior. All of them had their buffs stacked up.

But the thought of rushing into someone's arms on their first meeting made her dizzy.

Seeing that Nan Qiuqiu was still in a daze, Yu Tianlong frowned and asked in confusion, "Nan Qiuqiu, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to Sunset Mountain to hunt souls? Where's Aunt Nan? Where are Xiao Ye and the others? Why are you with them?"

Nan Qiuqiu then noticed the presence of Yu Tianlong and his group. Her expression suddenly changed drastically. She broke free from Ling Luochen's embrace and rushed to Yu Tianlong, urgently saying, "Yu Tianlong, quickly take me to find Grandpa Tianlong! My mother and Xiao Ye have been captured by evil soul masters. I need to find Grandpa Tianlong to save them."

Upon hearing Nan Qiuqiu's words, Yu Tianlong's expression changed. He disregarded Ji Lin and the others and took Nan Qiuqiu back to Tianlong Sect.

The other seven disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect behind Yu Tianlong were also shocked. They knew that although the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earthly Dragon Sect were both sects in Dragon City and appeared to be competitors, they actually had a very harmonious relationship in private. Yu Tianlong and his group often sparred and played together with Nan Qiuqiu and others. The relationship between the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earthly Dragon Sect was also very close. Hearing that the Earthly Dragon Sect's leader and several disciples had been captured by the evil soul master, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Nan Qiuqiu turned around and called out to Ji Lin, "My name is Nan Qiuqiu, the young master of the Earth Dragon Sect. Thank you for saving me. I will definitely come back to find you. I keep my word. You saved me, and I am willing to do anything for you. Wait for me to come back."

Yu Tianlong also said to Ji Lin, "I'll remember you, Ji Lin. Let's spar again next time. We misunderstood you before. We have urgent business to attend to now, so we'll take our leave first. I'll treat you to a meal later as an apology."

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Saving lives is the priority. You should go quickly."

Watching the Tianlongmen group and Nan Qiuqiu's retreating figures, Meng Hongchen finally spoke, "They just said that the Earth Dragon Gate's leader was captured by an evil soul master. If I remember correctly, Ji Lin, you said that the Earth Dragon Gate's leader, Nan Shuishui, is an eight-ring Soul Douluo, and even ordinary Title Douluos can't defeat her. She was captured by an evil soul master?"

Ji Lin nodded and said, "That's right. The Martial Soul of the Earth Dragon Sect, the Rouge Dragon, possesses the extremely rare Annihilation attribute. It's a top-tier Sub-Dragon Martial Soul. The Southern Sect Master's strength is no less than that of an ordinary Title Douluo. Although Evil Soul Masters are generally stronger than normal Soul Masters, to capture a top-tier Sub-Dragon Martial Soul Soul Master at the level of an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, you need at least a Title Douluo-level Evil Soul Master. It seems our previous guess was true. The Evil Soul Master has a stronghold near Dragon City, and there's a Title Douluo stationed there."

Ji Lin looked at Ye Guyi and laughed, "See? I told you that if you act alone, you're likely to be a free kill. Title Douluo-level evil soul masters are active around Dragon City, and the evil soul emperor you were chasing just happened to escape to Dragon City. There are clearly evil soul master strongholds nearby, but he just happened to hide in Dragon City, as if he's waiting for someone. Guess who he's waiting for."

Ye Guyi's pretty face darkened. She wasn't stupid; this was clearly a trap. Who else could that Evil Soul Emperor be waiting for but her, the Holy Angel Martial Soul Master who had been chasing him all the way?

Ji Lin calmly analyzed, "He probably wanted to wait for you to catch up to Dragon City before luring you to the evil soul master's stronghold to ambush and kill you. I suspect that he revealed his whereabouts himself, just to lure you into the trap. As for that Title Douluo evil soul master, it was probably an accident. Killing a mere Soul Emperor like you wouldn't require the intervention of a Title Douluo-level evil soul master. Of course, it's also possible that they wanted to completely eliminate you, the possessor of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, just in case, and that sending out a Title Douluo would ensure absolute success."

"Your existence should have been exposed. The evil soul emperor you were hunting must know your identity by now, since you've fought each other. Besides eliminating the evil soul masters' cultivation goals, you probably also wanted to kill them to silence them."

Ye Guyi nodded and said, "I know that once my identity is exposed, the evil soul master will definitely not let me go. In the past, I always killed him with one blow and left no survivors, but this time I failed. I did not expect his martial soul to be good at escaping. I was caught off guard and let him get away. The reason I have been chasing him is to prevent him from having a chance to spread the news, but now it seems that it is too late."

At this point, Ye Guyi's expression turned grim. She hadn't fully matured yet, and if the evil spirit masters knew her identity, she could already foresee the kind of pursuit she would face.

Moreover, there is a Title Douluo-level evil soul master waiting for her near Dragon City. It is conceivable that once she chases the evil soul emperor out of Dragon City, she will probably run into that Title Douluo-level evil soul master.

Ji Lin saw her worry and comforted her, "Don't worry, with me here, you'll be fine. I won't stand by and watch a user of the Holy Angel Martial Soul be killed by an evil soul master. Once you grow up, you'll be a sword of judgment hanging over the heads of evil soul masters. Your existence is indispensable to the civilians whose lives are threatened by evil soul masters. Leave that Title Douluo-level evil soul master to us."

Ye Guyi exclaimed in surprise, "Your Shrek Academy sent a Title Douluo to protect you? Is Shrek Academy really that arrogant?"

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "I won't hide it from you anymore. Besides being an inner disciple of Shrek Academy, I am also the current sect leader of the Freedom Sect. The one protecting us is my teacher, who is also the Grand Elder of the Freedom Sect, a genuine Title Douluo. So you don't need to worry about that Title Douluo evil soul master."

Ye Guyi frowned and said, "Zizai Sect? I've never heard of it. Logically speaking, a sect with a Title Douluo in charge should be very famous, unless it's a hidden sect. And you're the sect leader!? Does Zizai Sect have no one else? They let a child like you be the sect leader."
