Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 255 Please, Listen to Me

Where there is light, there is shadow. For Ye Guyi, who possesses the attribute of light, it is indeed a bit difficult to catch the Evil Soul Emperor who relies on shadows to escape, which is why she has failed repeatedly.

Seeing that the evil spirit master was about to escape into the shadows underground, Ji Lin, who had already learned about the evil spirit master's methods from Ye Guyi, had a strange red light in his eyes.

His voice became mysterious and distant. "Please, don't move."

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly evil spirit master stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with confusion and terror.

Nan Qiuqiu, Meng Hongchen, and the others looked at Ji Lin and the motionless evil spirit master in surprise. Were they really that obedient? They asked him not to move, and he really didn't move at all.

Ji Lin used a speech spell to issue commands to the evil soul master's body, so the evil soul master is now unable to control his body and cannot even speak.

Ji Lin approached the burly evil spirit master and sat leisurely in the spot where the man had just been sitting. The red light in his eyes made him look even more eerie.

Meng Hongchen looked at Ji Lin with sparkling eyes, feeling that Ji Lin was more charming than usual, and that he was full of mystery.

Ji Lin activated the Word of Power again, this time directly controlling the mind of the burly evil spirit master. "Please, tell me everything you know."

The burly evil spirit master, with empty, lifeless eyes, confessed everything he knew, like a manipulated puppet.

Although Nan Qiuqiu was amazed by Ji Lin's methods, she didn't have the mind to think about those things right now. What she wanted to know most right now was news about her mother.

But soon Ji Lin and the others frowned.

According to this evil spirit master, he only came to Dragon City for help because he was driven to desperation by Ye Guyi. There was an evil spirit master stronghold near Dragon City, which was a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult, the sect to which they belonged.

There was a branch elder with the cultivation level of Soul Saint, two Holy Spirit disciples with the cultivation level of Soul Emperor, and about twenty Holy Servants. The Holy Servants were peripheral disciples, and their cultivation levels were all below Soul Emperor. The burly evil soul master was a Holy Spirit disciple, but he belonged to the Douling Empire branch. When he was being chased by Ye Guyi, the elder of the Douling Empire branch happened to be out on business, so he fled to the Heavenly Soul Empire and finally came to Dragon City to seek help.

As for the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, he had no idea about it given his status, and he was also completely unaware of the evil soul master with the title of Douluo who had captured Nan Shuishui and the disciples of the Earth Dragon Gate.

When Ling Luochen and Meng Hongchen heard that the evil soul masters had actually banded together to establish a sect and had been hiding for many years without any news from the major empires or Shrek Academy, both of them showed solemn expressions. Evil soul masters were already difficult to deal with, and now they were banding together for warmth. No one knew what the so-called Holy Spirit Cult had become, but it was certain that there were evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level.

Nan Qiuqiu wasn't interested in the so-called Holy Spirit Cult; she only wanted to know about her mother. The burly evil spirit master had no idea that a titled Douluo-level evil spirit master had arrived near Dragon City, and Nan Qiuqiu's face was full of disappointment.

Seeing Nan Qiuqiu's distressed expression, Ji Lin comforted her, "Qiuqiu, it's not like we gained nothing. Didn't you say there were many evil spirit masters chasing you that day? Only that Holy Spirit Cult branch near Dragon City had that many evil spirit masters. Your mother is probably being held in that Holy Spirit Cult branch. Ye Guyi's news has already been relayed back to that Holy Spirit Cult branch by this guy. If I were that evil spirit master with the cultivation of a Title Douluo, I definitely wouldn't leave immediately. Instead, I would find an opportunity to kill Ye Guyi before leaving. So your mother is very likely being held in that Holy Spirit Cult branch."

Nan Qiuqiu's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "I'll go find Grandpa Tianlong right away and ask him to bring people to rescue my mother."

Ji Lin stopped the excited Nan Qiuqiu and said, "Qiuqiu, we still don't know if that Holy Spirit Cult branch has sent anyone to keep an eye on Dragon City. Once the Heavenly Dragon Gate and your Earth Dragon Gate make a move, it is very likely that it will expose that we already know the location of their branch stronghold. This guy is not from the Heavenly Soul Empire branch, so his knowledge is limited. The only useful thing is the location of this Holy Spirit Cult branch stronghold."

"The Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earthly Dragon Gate cannot be touched, otherwise it will alert the evil soul masters. What if they move their strongholds? It will be difficult to find them then."

Nan Qiuqiu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, "What should we do?!"

Ji Lin, Ye Guyi, Meng Hongchen, and Ling Luochen exchanged glances and said in unison, "Of course, it's our turn to strike at the heart of the enemy."

Nan Qiuqiu was dumbfounded and asked doubtfully, "It's just the few of us, while the opposing team has evil soul masters with the cultivation levels of Soul Saint and Title Douluo! Can we handle it?"

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Didn't I already say that we don't need to deal with the Title Douluo? We only need to deal with that branch elder with the cultivation of Soul Saint, a few Holy Spirit disciples with the cultivation of Soul Emperor, and a bunch of small fry."

Hearing Ji Lin compare Soul King-level evil Soul Masters to trash, Nan Qiuqiu was annoyed. She felt that Ji Lin's attack range was a bit too broad, and she felt offended.

Ji Lin stood up and said, "There's no time to lose. Just in case, let's set off now. Our target is small, and the evil spirit masters know nothing about us. Right now, they're in the open, and we're in the dark. The advantage is on our side."

After saying that, he added, "Oh right, remember to give the final blow to Ye Guyi. Her Holy Angel Martial Soul can increase her cultivation level when she kills an evil soul master."

Ye Guyi was taken aback upon hearing this. She hadn't expected Ji Lin to be so considerate of her. She glanced at Ji Lin with a complex expression and whispered, "Thank you!"

Ji Lin waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, it's just making use of waste."

"Pfft!"

Ye Guyi was amused by Ji Lin's statement that evil spirit masters were considered trash. This was the first time she had ever heard such a term. Others would react with fear, disgust, or hatred upon hearing the name "evil spirit master," but in Ji Lin's eyes, all evil spirit masters were trash.

What are evil soul masters who only know how to attack innocent civilians who have no grudges and no power to resist? If you have the ability, go and slaughter soul master sects, go and kill armies of various countries. Soul masters with soul power are no more nutritious than those civilians who have no soul power at all.

To put it bluntly, it's still about bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Therefore, Ji Lin looked down on evil spirit masters who slaughtered civilians.

Ji Lin said to the burly evil spirit master again, "Listen to me, please take us to that Holy Spirit Cult branch stronghold."

The burly evil spirit master nodded stiffly as if it were a machine, then turned and walked out of the courtyard, with Ji Lin and the others following behind him.

After leaving Dragon City, the burly evil soul master took out his flying soul tool and flew into the sky. Ji Lin and the others also took out their flying soul tools and prepared to follow.
