Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 262 Detention Location

Ye Guyi is inherently righteous and kind, and she doesn't have any prejudice against Nana just because she possesses an evil martial soul. Moreover, Nana didn't cultivate using the methods of an evil soul master, which is why Ye Guyi didn't kill Nana with a single sword strike.

Faced with Nana's plea, Ye Guyi sighed and said, "I can help you purify your parents' souls, but according to you, their souls are in the hands of the branch elder of the Sun Moon Empire's Mingdu branch. We need to retrieve your parents' souls first."

Ji Lin laughed and said, "It's alright. After things are settled here, I'll ask my teacher to help me. I'll ask her to make a trip to the Sun Moon Empire."

"Thank you." Nana's voice trembled slightly, but also carried a sense of relief.

Seeing that Ji Lin had agreed to help Nana rescue her parents, Nan Qiuqiu quickly helped Nana up and said, "That's great, Nana, your parents can be saved."

After speaking, she looked at Ji Lin with hopeful eyes. Ji Lin shook his head and said, "There are only a few evil soul masters in the underground hall. They are the higher-ups of this branch. Your mother and fellow disciples are not imprisoned there, nor is that titled Douluo evil soul master."

Nan Qiuqiu's eyes dimmed instantly, and her whole demeanor darkened.

"Um, if you mean the place where the Earth Dragon Sect Master and his disciples are imprisoned, I know where it is."

Just as Nan Qiuqiu was falling into despair, Nana's voice woke her up.

Nan Qiuqiu looked at Nana with surprise and excitedly grabbed Nana's arm, saying, "Nana, do you know where my mother and the others are being held? Take me there quickly!"

Ji Lin warned, "Qiuqiu, calm down. Do you want to break her arm?"

Nan Qiuqiu then realized what was happening and quickly let go of Nana's hand. The pain on Nana's face subsided, and Nan Qiuqiu stammered, "Um... Nana, I'm sorry, I got too excited."

Nan Qiuqiu possesses a top-tier sub-dragon beast martial soul, making her incredibly powerful.

Nana, a fragile Soul Master, couldn't withstand Nan Qiuqiu's power.

Nana didn't blame Nan Qiuqiu. Having shared a similar plight with Nan Qiuqiu, Nana understood how Nan Qiuqiu felt.

Both were trying to save their mothers, but Nan Qiuqiu's mother was still alive, while Nana only wanted to free her mother from suffering.

Nana pointed outside the courtyard and said, "The people from the Earth Dragon Sect are not imprisoned in this courtyard, but in a cave on the cliff opposite the courtyard. There are two evil soul masters guarding that place."

Ji Lin glanced at the surviving evil spirit masters and said to Ye Guyi, "They're all yours now."

The evil spirit masters lying on the ground were either poisoned by Meng Hongchen's cold poison or frozen by Ling Luochen, and were all powerless to resist.

Ye Guyi didn't stand on ceremony. She floated in mid-air, and an angelic phantom appeared behind her. Dazzling holy light enveloped the entire courtyard. The evil spirit masters illuminated by the holy light began to emit black energy, and the resentment invisible to ordinary people was also purified, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating.

Although it wasn't specifically targeting Nana, Nana also felt that the soul power in her body was being purified. If she hadn't never used the methods of evil soul masters to cultivate, most of the soul power in her body would probably have been evaporated by now.

After Ye Guyi cleared out the evil spirit masters, Ji Lin looked at Meng Hongchen, who was unusually quiet and not clinging to him, and quietly asked Ling Luochen, "Sister Luochen, what's wrong with Meng? What happened?"

Ling Luochen told Ji Lin about the possible collusion between the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire and the evil soul masters, and that Meng Hongchen's grandfather might also be involved. Meng Hongchen couldn't accept it for a while and fell into a state of withdrawal.

Ji Lin understood. He had known about the collusion between the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult for a long time. As for Meng Hongchen's grandfather, Jing Hongchen, he did know about it. In the original story, he revealed Ma Xiaotao's situation to the Holy Spirit Cult, which led to the Holy Spirit Cult's surprise attack on Shrek Academy and the abduction of Ma Xiaotao. This also indirectly led to Mu En's premature death.

Originally, Moon could have lasted at least three to five years, but the invasion of the Holy Spirit Cult caused Moon to perish in less than two years.

Because of Ji Lin's existence, Ma Xiaotao did not turn evil, and the Holy Spirit Cult did not invade Shrek Academy, so Mu En is still alive, but he won't last much longer.

Ji Lin did not comfort Meng Hongchen. Although Jing Hongchen did not collude with the Holy Spirit Cult, she was indeed an insider. The one who truly colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult was Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire.

It's not Ji Lin's place to meddle in Meng Hongchen's family affairs right now, and it's not the time to comfort Meng Hongchen either; they have more important things to do.

The group followed Nana out of the courtyard and used their flying soul tools to fly to a hidden cave on the opposite side.

The two evil spirit masters guarding the cave were drinking. Although there were only two of them, they had a large table of food and were having a great time.

"Hey bro, what happened to your head? It's split in two!"

"What do you mean 'two'? You've had too much to drink. Why are you drinking so little today? Use your soul power to rank them up."

"Bullshit, I used my soul power to expel it, what's the point of drinking? It's better to be dizzy so I can get a good sleep later. My soul power has hit a bottleneck recently, and I can't improve it no matter what I do. It seems I need to kill a few more people and eat some human hearts to boost my blood energy."

"How disgusting! What's so delicious about human hearts? Human brains are the real delicacy. That soft, chewy taste... tsk tsk..."

Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, two white-gold sword energies shot over, and holy light enveloped the entire entrance to the cave.

When encountering Ye Guyi's evil spirit masters, they usually leave not even ashes behind, especially those perverts who eat human hearts and brains. Ye Guyi wishes he could erase their traces from the river of time.

Under Ji Lin's soul bone skill of mental interference, they were completely unable to detect Ji Lin and his companions entering the cave.

They were powerless to resist Ye Guyi's attacks.

The two Soul King-level evil Soul Masters were instantly dissolved by the holy light.

Nan Qiuqiu entered the cave but did not see Nan Shuishui or the other disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect who were imprisoned.

She asked Nana urgently, "Nana, didn't you say my mother and the others were locked in this cave? Where are they?"

Just as Nana was about to speak, Ji Lin walked to a stone wall in the cave with a strange expression. He reached out and twisted a protrusion on the stone wall, and a stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage. Then he went to a stone wall on the opposite side and did the same thing.

Another stone door opened, revealing another passage.

Ji Lin said to Nan Qiuqiu in a strange tone, "Your mother is imprisoned behind the first stone door I just opened, while your fellow disciples are imprisoned in this passage. I'll go rescue your fellow disciples, and you go rescue your mother."

Nan Qiuqiu looked at Ji Lin strangely. How did Ji Lin know which side held her mother and which side held her fellow disciples?

However, saving lives was the priority, so she couldn't worry about anything else and rushed into the stone gate.
