Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 446 It's only natural

The Soul Masters of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps put down their weapons and breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were strong, they would suffer considerable losses even if they won against two Title Douluos and three Soul Douluo Evil Soul Masters. The key was that the other side was indeed in cahoots with them, although they were unwilling to admit it.

The two elders and the three Zhongli brothers also breathed a sigh of relief. After the impulsiveness came the fear. This was the Guardian Hand of the Sun Moon Empire, the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps. Even if they managed to break through, they would probably have to leave something behind.

Fortunately, although Commander Wang of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps showed hostility towards them, he did not dare to openly oppose the Holy Spirit Cult. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult had been declared the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire. If Commander Wang dared to take action against them, Xu Tianran would probably be the first to object, and punishment would be inevitable. He might even lose his position as the commander of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

The Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult are currently in a honeymoon period, and any dissenting voices will be suppressed by Xu Tianran.

Commander Wang didn't dare to go against Xu Tianran. He could only deliberately target the Holy Spirit Cult and disgust them to the extreme. He still didn't dare to actually take action.

"Chase them! They can't have gone too far. Head south. At the same time, immediately use long-range communication to alert the surrounding cities and have them release all their aerial detection soul-guided devices to send us the message. Leave one hundred men behind to guard Sunrise City. The rest of you, follow me."

As he spoke, Commander Wang took the lead and leaped into the air. Behind him, a pair of huge flying soul tool wings spread out, and twelve beams of light shot out at the same time, turning into a streak of light and heading into the distance.

"Let's go take a look too. Fourth brother, stay here. The three Zhong brothers, come with me."

The Second Elder's eyes flickered slightly as he gave instructions to the Fourth Elder.

The hostages escaped from their Holy Spirit Cult, and they should have taken the initiative to pursue them, both morally and logically. However, they were afraid of being ambushed before, but now that the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps is leading the charge, they have the confidence to pursue them.

The members of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, along with the Second Elder and the three Zhongli brothers, fled into the distance at lightning speed, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The Fourth Elder gazed at the disappearing figure in the distance, then lowered his head and murmured, "It seems we need to go back and find the Vice Leader. The people from the Sun Moon Empire's military are still very hostile towards our Holy Sect. We need to be more careful."

The Fourth Elder turned to the black-robed figure who had stopped the conflict and quelled the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps Commander Wang, and asked, "Are you Wu Yun or Wu Yu?"

The man in black suddenly tilted his head back, and his cloak slipped off, revealing an extremely pale but exceptionally beautiful face.

If Ji Lin and Ye Guyi were here, they would find that the woman in front of them looked exactly like the female evil spirit master they had killed.

"How did you protect Sunrise City? You didn't even know my sister was dead? If it weren't for our telepathic connection, I would still be completely in the dark."

The woman in black spoke with intense hatred, and her blood-red eyes seemed to be dripping blood.

"You are Wu Yu? You mean, Wu Yun is dead? How is that possible?" the Fourth Elder said in surprise.

He knew Wu Yun's strength very well. Although Wu Yun was only an eight-ring Soul Douluo, in terms of personal combat power, with her powerful Revenge Soul Martial Soul and strange mental soul skills, even a Title Douluo-level expert would have a lot of trouble if he encountered her. Even the Fourth Elder himself did not dare to say that he could definitely defeat Wu Yun.

Because of the unique nature of their martial souls, the twin sisters Wu Yun and Wu Yu were considered extremely abnormal even within the Holy Spirit Sect. No one wanted to associate with them, so they were each assigned to a less important city to take charge.

The evil spirit master originally stationed in Sunrise City was Wu Yun, the elder of the two sisters. This time, Sunrise City was chosen as the place to imprison the hostages. The leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was not at ease with Wu Yun, fearing that she would kill the hostages. Therefore, he sent the three Zhong brothers and the vice leader to take charge. Only the vice leader could suppress Wu Yun. After the vice leader left, the fourth elder and the second elder were also sent to take over the position, firstly to guard against the rescue team, and secondly to keep an eye on Wu Yun to prevent her from torturing the hostages to death.

But the Fourth Elder never expected that Wu Yun, whom he considered evil and powerful, would die so silently!

This is understandable. Even within the Holy Spirit Cult, Wu Yun was a loner. Apart from her sister Wu Yu, she had no close companions. Her evil and madness even frightened the evil spirit masters, who dared not approach her and kept their distance. That's why her death went unnoticed.

Seeing the shock in the Fourth Elder's eyes, Wu Yu's blood-red gaze flickered slightly. "It seems you weren't behind this. Your surprise isn't feigned. I can sense that the people connected to my sister's death are still in the city. You all come with me."

As she spoke, Wu Yu turned and flew towards the city.

The remaining one hundred members of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps spread out their forms and flew after her.

The Fourth Elder hurriedly followed, still completely bewildered and not understanding what was going on with Wu Yu.

The city of Sunrise was in chaos, but the streets were sparsely populated.

In a short period of time, the violent roar and the trembling of the earth told the people of Sunrise City that something had happened. For ordinary people, what could they do but hide at home in fear? But perhaps because the light from the previous explosions was too strong, there seemed to be a few lingering halos in Sunrise City at this moment.

Soldiers were everywhere in Sunrise City, and almost every street was under martial law. The army was constantly using megaphones to order all civilians not to leave their homes, and then they were using various detection devices to search house to house.

Blue lights flashed across the sky from time to time, indicating the presence of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

Meanwhile, Ji Lin, carrying the Wind Ring, weaved through the alleys, evading the soldiers' searches, and headed towards the South Gate. With his mental detection abilities, Ji Lin could evade the searches without fighting.

Just as the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps flew over Ji Lin's head in the sky, Wu Yu suddenly stopped and looked down at the alley below. The alley was empty, but Wu Yu could feel her sister's presence below. A crazed look appeared on her face, and she completely disregarded the lives of the civilians in the houses below. A blood-red phantom, carrying a strong smell of blood, pounced down.

Ji Lin, hiding in the shadows of the alley, suddenly changed his expression. His reaction was almost instinctive—he grabbed Feng Ling beside him and moved with lightning speed, instantly taking Feng Ling away from that dangerous location.

The instant they leaped away, a blood-red phantom appeared like a ghost where Ji Lin had been standing. Upon touching the ground, the phantom suddenly expanded, followed by a violent explosion.

The shockwave from the explosion raged like a violent storm, shaking the walls of the alleyway and sending dust and rubble flying. Even more terrifying was the crimson rain of blood that burst forth with the blast. This blood seemed corrosive, hissing as it hit the ground and emitting plumes of white smoke.

Although Ji Lin and Feng Ling escaped the center of the explosion in time, they were still caught up by the shockwave and the flying blood. However, the shockwave and blood were blocked by a layer of flame shield, and Ji Lin and Feng Ling were not harmed in the slightest. Ji Lin looked back and saw that the once peaceful alley had now become a mess, with traces of ruin and destruction everywhere.

Ji Lin withdrew his mental detection when the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps passed overhead. After all, they were a Beast King-level Soul Master Corps, and who knew if they had any means to detect mental detection? Even so, he was still discovered. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been splattered with blood.

Ji Lin frowned slightly. He didn't know how he had been exposed. He thought he had hidden himself very well, controlling his aura, mental strength, and body temperature perfectly.

Ji Lin looked around and found that blue figures had surrounded him. The soul masters of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps held soul tools in their hands, all aimed at Ji Lin. They would launch a full-scale attack at a moment's notice.

At the same time, the Fourth Elder and Wu Yu also descended from the sky and stood in front of Ji Lin.

The Fourth Elder looked at Ji Lin, his face grim, and said, "So it's you! You brat from the Freedom Sect, the Sect Leader has issued a kill order against your sect. How dare you come here? Are you here to rescue someone?"

After saying that, he looked at the Wind Ring in Ji Lin's hand.

The Fourth Elder was no stranger to Ji Lin. He was present when the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Youth Elite Competition was held, so he naturally had a deep impression of Ji Lin, the captain of the Zizai Sect who had killed many of their Holy Sect's elite disciples. Moreover, the Holy Spirit Sect's leader, Zhong Liwu, had issued a kill order against the Zizai Sect. Every evil soul master belonging to the Holy Spirit Sect had a portrait of a member of the Zizai Sect.

At this moment, Ji Lin had removed his disguise and was using his true appearance, which is why the Fourth Elder recognized him at a glance.

"Did you kill my sister?"

Before Ji Lin could speak, Wu Yu, shrouded in a large cloak, floated out from beside the Fourth Elder and shouted at Ji Lin in a sharp voice.

"Your sister?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Lin's eyes.

Wu Yu suddenly threw off her cloak. When Ji Lin saw her extremely familiar, pale face with bloodshot eyes, he suddenly realized how he had been discovered. The same appearance, the same bloodshot eyes and hatred—another possessor of the Soul of Vengeance. He looked at Feng Ling, which he was holding, and realized that it was probably the aura of Wu Yun on Feng Ling that had exposed him.

Although Ye Guyi removed the curse that Wu Yun had cast on Feng Ling, too many traces of Wu Yun remained on Feng Ling's body, so it was only natural that Wu Yun's twin sister, Wu Yu, would discover them.
