Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 434 Whose subordinate is this?

The exploration of Sunrise City continued into the afternoon. Although Ji Lin and his group did not gain much, Ye Guyi made an unexpected discovery.

Ye Guyi's Holy Angel Martial Soul is the nemesis of evil soul masters. At the same time, she is extremely sensitive to the aura of evil soul masters. No matter how well these evil soul masters hide, as long as they are in Sunrise City, Ye Guyi will find them sooner or later.

Ye Guyi was very lucky this time, and soon she sensed the aura of the evil soul master.

Wang Qiu'er and the others were to wait at the hotel. Ji Lin and Ye Guyi were to go and investigate first. However, too many people would easily expose them, so it would be best if only Ji Lin and Ye Guyi went.

After discussing for a while, everyone else went back to rest. Ji Lin and Ye Guyi made some adjustments, had dinner, and went out under the cover of night. Ye Guyi led Ji Lin toward the street where she had detected the aura of the evil soul master earlier that day.

Soon, the two entered a bustling street lined with shops on both sides, each one brightly lit.

Ye Guyi and Ji Lin pretended to be shopping, observing a small building not far away with pink lights emanating from it. The building was small and looked somewhat dilapidated. The pink lights carried a hint of ambiguity, but the somewhat mottled walls outside revealed its cheapness.

At the entrance of that small building, a heavily made-up woman was soliciting customers. The woman's appearance was really not flattering. She was not even as tall as Ye Guyi's chest, but her waist was more than three times that of Ye Guyi. Her bright green dress wrapped her fat body like a big watermelon, but there were also big red flowers blooming on the dress.

Her equally obese face looked as if it had just emerged from a bag of flour; it was frighteningly white, and her thick lips were painted with blood-red lipstick.

Ji Lin's lips twitched. Who was this brilliant strategist who released this? Has the owner of this shop lost his mind? Sending out this biological weapon to serve customers must mean he thinks the shop is doing too well.

Ye Guyi also found it a bit offensive and whispered in Ji Lin's ear, "It's her. I sensed a trace of an evil soul master's aura on her. Although it was very weak, it couldn't escape my angelic martial soul."

Smelling the fragrance emanating from Ye Guyi and catching a glimpse of her exquisite face just centimeters away, Ji Lin felt as if his eyes, which had just been polluted, were instantly purified by Ye Guyi.

As expected of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, it can even purify this!

Having spotted their target, Ji Lin and his companion did not rush forward. Instead, they quietly hid in a dark corner and waited patiently.

However, Ji Lin's mental detection remained locked on that eye-searing woman. If Ye Guyi hadn't been there to cleanse his eyes, he couldn't have tolerated keeping his mental energy focused on this bio-weapon; it would have been pure torture.

The woman was soliciting customers on the street with a "seductive" air, but her appearance was so disgusting that almost no one was convinced by her. It was hard to imagine why the shop owner would let such a woman solicit customers outside, unless the owner was a psychopath.

When it comes to mental perversion, evil spirit masters are the first to come to mind. Therefore, Ji Lin and Ye Guyi strongly suspect that the owner of this brothel is an evil spirit master.

What made Ji Lin even more suspicious was that, under his mental detection, the bio-weapon outside possessed soul power and was a four-ring Soul Master. It was already suspicious enough that a four-ring Soul Master was out soliciting customers, not to mention that Ye Guyi had sensed the aura of an evil Soul Master on her. The bio-weapon was not an evil Soul Master, but rather someone who had been in close contact with an evil Soul Master or possessed methods left behind by an evil Soul Master. Otherwise, the aura of an evil Soul Master on her would not have been so faint, so faint that Ye Guyi almost ignored her.

This clue was still quite important to Ji Lin at the moment, so he suppressed his nausea, hid in the shadows to monitor, and waited silently.

Every now and then, Ji Lin would turn around and stare blankly at Ye Guyi, leaving Ye Guyi completely bewildered.

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Guyi lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, because she really couldn't stand the look Ji Lin gave her.

"It's nothing. You're very beautiful. Looking at you a few more times is good for your mental and physical health!"

Ji Lin, with his back to Ye Guyi, replied casually.

Ye Guyi blushed, then looked at the bioweapon not far away, and said thoughtfully, "You have good taste. I am naturally beautiful, of course I am not comparable to ordinary people."

Seeing that Ji Lin turned back to stare at her with a distorted expression after a short while, Ye Guyi covered her mouth and chuckled.

To be honest, even as a woman, she found the person outside an eyesore. It must have been tough for Ji Lin to keep an eye on him.

It wasn't until late at night, after all the shops on this bustling street had closed, that the heavily made-up woman returned to the brothel. Soon, the alluring pink lights went out, and everything seemed to fall silent.

Not long after, the side door of the cheap brothel suddenly opened a crack, and a short, stocky figure emerged from it. She was still heavily made up, but the red and green floral jacket she wore was gone, replaced by a simpler set of clothes. She peeked out cautiously before quietly slipping out and walking quickly in one direction.

Hidden in the shadows, Ji Lin and Ye Guyi exchanged a glance and immediately moved, quietly following the woman who was walking quickly, but always keeping a distance of several hundred meters from her.

The woman wandered through the streets and alleys for about fifteen minutes before stopping in front of a pointed-roof building.

The building looked somewhat dilapidated and had no signs. The door was ajar, and the woman pushed it open and entered.

Because Ji Lin's mental detection had been focused on the woman, he could clearly sense that she was trembling as she entered the room, seemingly terrified.

Ji Lin followed the woman's mental energy to explore further, but he withdrew his mental energy in the next instant. He discovered that there was actually a powerful mental energy fluctuation hidden in this house. Although it was far less powerful than Ji Lin's mental energy, if Ji Lin continued to use his mental energy to probe, he would most likely be discovered.

Quietly approaching, Ji Lin and Ye Guyi arrived at the half-open door of the building and peered inside through the crack.

It was pitch black inside, and the air seemed much more turbid than outside. Even with Ji Lin's eyesight, it was difficult for him to see what was going on inside.

Ji Lin was not surprised by this result.

Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came from inside. The scream was very painful, but it was not very loud through the murky air inside. If Ji Lin and the other person hadn't been at the door, they wouldn't have heard it at all.

Suddenly, Ji Lin sensed that the strong mental fluctuations inside had subsided. His eyes lit up. He naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. Under Ji Lin's careful control, his mental probe silently probed into the interior. At the same time, he also activated mental sharing, allowing Ye Guyi to share the mental probe as well.

The entrance led to a spacious hall, which was pitch black and filled with a murky atmosphere. To be on the safe side, Ji Lin controlled his mental detection, circled around the hall, and slipped in from the back to enter the inner hall.

Screams echoed throughout the hall, accompanied by other sounds.

"You lowly fat woman, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death, hahaha! Scream, scream, scream louder!" The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, filled with hysteria, but as the voice came out, the air trembled slightly.

Ji Lin's lips twitched. What is this? Are they going to go this far?

Just thinking about the woman's appearance sent a chill down Ji Lin's spine. Whose general was she? She was so brave. I, Ji Lin, admire no one but this kind of warrior.

However, Ji Lin's detection revealed that this warrior's strength was extraordinary, and his aura was chilling, suggesting he was likely an evil soul master.

Ye Guyi confirmed this guess; it was true, the warrior inside was indeed an evil soul master.

No? Are all evil spirit masters these days this abstract? And going this far?

Based on the mental fluctuations revealed by the warrior inside when he was emotionally agitated, Ji Lin was certain that the powerful mental fluctuations that had enveloped the building earlier originated from this warrior.

This building is strange. Ji Lin had scanned this direction with his mental detection before, but found nothing. Sure enough, mental detection is not omnipotent. The Holy Spirit Cult really does have a way to block mental power.

I just don't know how many evil spirit masters are inside this building.

The mental probe carefully followed the direction from which the sound came, and soon, Ji Lin and Ye Guyi saw a disgusting scene.

This was a dark, circular hall. On the floor, there were all sorts of broken limbs and internal organs, and the fresh and dried blood had turned the ground a purplish-black color.

The heavily made-up woman was hanging in the center of the round hall. Below her stood a person shrouded in a black robe, emanating black mist, who held a bone whip and was lashing her body repeatedly. In a corner not far away, several obese people with ashen faces were curled up, their fate unknown.

Seeing this scene, Ye Guyi's killing intent surged. Looking at the bloody and tragic scene, she wondered how many people this despicable evil soul master had slaughtered to create such a hellish scene on earth!

As the owner of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, Ye Guyi has a strong sense of justice and despises evil soul masters the most. If it weren't for her reason telling her that she was here to save people, she would have already drawn her sword and charged in.

Just then, Ji Lin's mental detection sensed another mental force colliding with his. The black-clad man who was wielding the bone whip suddenly froze, turned around abruptly, and roared, "Who—!"
