Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 259 Sharing the Same Misfortune

The female evil spirit master removed her mask. Her appearance wasn't particularly beautiful, but her wheat-colored skin looked very healthy, and she had a slender figure. She was well over 1.8 meters tall, but her overall proportions were exceptionally good, and her eyes were very sharp.

You couldn't tell she was an evil spirit master just by looking at her.

She lowered her head and bowed, saying, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Upon seeing the female evil spirit master who had removed her mask, Meng Hongchen exclaimed in surprise, "Nana!? How is it you? You're actually an evil spirit master!"

She felt a sense of familiarity when she first heard the female evil spirit master's voice, but she couldn't immediately place it and dismissed it as a hallucination.

But when the female evil spirit master took off her mask, she instantly recognized who she was.

Ling Luochen and Nan Qiuqiu looked at Meng Hongchen in surprise, "You two know each other?"

At this moment, Nana, the female evil spirit master, smiled at Meng Hongchen and said, "Miss Meng, I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this. I guess this is fate?"

Meng Hongchen's face darkened as she said, "How did you become an evil soul master? Shouldn't you be in the Sun Moon Empire right now, still studying at the academy?"

Ling Luochen exclaimed in surprise, "She's a student at your Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? She's an evil soul master! Your academy actually has an evil soul master!"

Nana's face darkened, and she said sadly, "Miss Meng, would you like to hear a story from me?"

Ling Luochen frowned. In her opinion, evil spirit masters should be killed directly, but since Nana is Meng Hongchen's classmate, she would leave the decision to Meng Hongchen.

Nan Qiuqiu had no objections; she still owed Nana a favor.

Meng Hongchen was very curious about how a student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could become an evil soul master. "Tell me," she said.

Nana whispered, "I was born in the Sun Moon Empire. My father was a hereditary baron, which is considered the lowest rank of nobility. Although my family didn't have any fiefdoms, we did own some land and shops, so we lived a fairly comfortable life. My father wasn't a Soul Master. He accidentally saved my mother, who was seriously injured while hunting Souls. My mother was moved by my father's meticulous care and eventually married him, even though he wasn't a Soul Master."

At this point, Nana's eyes were already filled with a hazy sense of reminiscence.

Meng Hongchen and the other two exchanged glances and listened attentively.

"Although my father was a nobleman, he was kind by nature. He treated all our tenants very well. After my mother married my father, she stayed at home to be a good wife and mother. We were very happy until I was six years old. Until one day..."

At this point, tears welled up in Nana's eyes.

"When my mother broke through to the Soul Master level, a group of strangers came to our house. I don't know what they said to her, but she went out with them. My father tried to stop her, but he couldn't. From that day on, my mother often went out and only came back once in a long while. Every time she came back, she was stronger, but her complexion was getting worse and worse, and my father was getting older and older."

"When I was twelve, my father died, and my mother committed suicide in front of me. At that moment, a stranger entered my house again. He took away my parents' souls and told me that if I wanted to see my parents again, I should come with him. I was in a daze when I followed him. When I left, some other strangers came and took away and buried my parents' bodies."

Nana's breathing became rapid, and her body trembled slightly.

The three women, Nan Qiuqiu, Ling Luochen, and Ling Luochen, looked at Nana with pity. Women are emotional creatures, and Ling Luochen was no exception. They felt great sympathy for Nana's tragic experience.

Nana calmed herself down and continued, "It wasn't until later that I learned those strangers were all evil spirit masters. They called themselves the Holy Spirit Cult. It's a very mysterious organization. After they took me away, they told me that my parents' souls were imprisoned by them. Then they deliberately released my parents' souls for me to see. My parents were in so much pain! They said that if I wanted my parents' souls to rest in peace, I had to listen to them, otherwise, they would make sure my parents' souls would never be reincarnated."

"Later, I took advantage of their inattention to approach the place where my parents' souls were imprisoned. It was only then that I learned from my mother that her martial spirit was special. They invited her to join the Holy Spirit Cult, but she refused. So, they somehow controlled her, and even she herself didn't know how she was controlled. She was forcibly joined the Holy Spirit Cult, but because of her love for my father, she often broke free from their control. So, they ordered her to kill my father. After killing him, my mother was also greatly traumatized and finally broke free from their control. She committed suicide in front of my father's body. My mother told me that I must break free from the control of the Holy Spirit Cult. Otherwise, I would only be their tool for the rest of my life."

Meng Hongchen's expression softened, and she said in a low voice, "So you were forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult by them."

Nana said sadly, "I want to save my parents' souls and free them, but I have no way to do so. I can only obey their orders and enroll in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to become their informant at the academy."

"I have always obeyed the Holy Spirit Cult's branch in Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire, but for some reason this time, a Third Elder came to the headquarters, bringing with him the Great Holy Spirit, the Second Holy Spirit, and several of us Soul King-level Holy Servants to the Heavenly Soul Empire, leaving only the Soul Saint Elder and a group of people to guard the Mingdu branch."

Nan Qiuqiu asked疑惑地, "Then why did you let me go back then? Wouldn't you have been punished if you had been discovered?"

Nana smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because we're in the same boat! Your mother was also captured by the Holy Spirit Cult. Seeing you reminded her of myself. And I didn't want to help the Holy Spirit Cult do evil, so I softened and chose to let you go. I only captured your companions to report back. The order from above was to capture them alive, so your companions are still alive."

Meng Hongchen frowned and asked, "Since you're in Mingdu, didn't you think of asking the academy for help? The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is the premier academy in the Sun Moon Empire, and the Mingde Hall holds a pivotal position in the empire. A cult branch can be easily wiped out."

Nana said bitterly, "How could I not have thought of that? But it's no use thinking about it. They're completely in cahoots. I'm certain that Mingde Hall is colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult. Because once I personally saw a masked elder of the Holy Spirit Cult walk into Mingde Hall late at night."

Meng Hongchen was shocked, her face filled with disbelief. "Impossible! How could this be!"
