Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 90—The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls Stirs!

"Teacher, the practical tips you taught should be able to purify the vengeful spirits here, right?" Qian Lingyun asked expectantly, waving the flag in her hand.

"Hehe, of course!" Electrolux smiled slightly and said, "With your current abilities, purifying this is no difficult task! Just do what you're going to do!"

"Thank you, teacher," Qian Lingyun said as she walked deeper into the area, eventually finding a good open space where she released all the vengeful spirits from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Before long, the holy servants of this branch altar were summoned. They stood at the door, looking in fear at the beautiful girl sitting on the altar, and of course, more importantly at the hundreds of vengeful spirits hovering above her head.

Qian Lingyun brought over a large chair, sat down imposingly on the branch altar, and looked down at the crowd at the entrance.

Everyone felt that the girl in front of them had an imposing and powerful aura, and they dared not look her in the eye.

"Why are you still wearing those things? Take them off!" Qian Lingyun ordered, pointing at their hoods.

The six servants looked at each other in bewilderment until one of them, quick-witted, took off his mask first, and then they followed suit, revealing their true faces.

This branch altar wasn't large, but it had six holy servants, the oldest of whom was only in his early twenties. Qian Lingyun carefully observed their soul power fluctuations and found that they were all at least Soul Venerables, with one even being a Soul King.

That's great! With so many branch altars of the Holy Spirit Cult, it would be perfect to bring them in as our own loyal followers!

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun smiled slightly.

"I've already guessed why you're here," Qian Lingyun said, propping her head up with her right hand as she surveyed the holy servants before her. "They imprisoned the souls of your family members and are using them to blackmail you. Am I right?"

"Yes," a holy servant nodded with a pained expression.

"If I could help you purify the resentment within them and allow them to be reborn, how would you repay me?"

"If the Holy Maiden can save our loved ones, we have no way to repay her. We swear by our martial spirits that we will recognize the Holy Maiden as our master and will go through fire and water for her in this lifetime!" A servant knelt on one knee, his voice filled with fear.

"Excellent!"

Having obtained the answer she wanted, Qian Lingyun took a deep breath, and the five soul rings on her body condensed into a gray soul ring under the scorching white flames.

She simply waved her hand, and a sky full of white sparks appeared, illuminating the gloomy underground palace as bright as day.

White sparks clung to the vengeful spirits, instantly illuminating them like glowing light bulbs. Strands of resentment were separated, leaving only the pure white spirits.

She simply stood there, struggling to regulate her breathing. After the massive amount of resentment emanating from these vengeful spirits was purified and dispelled, it automatically sought her out and attached itself to her.

Under this stimulation, the Rakshasa deity is restless and agitated, wanting to devour and kill, and the negative emotions it governs are beginning to pollute Qian Lingyun's spiritual sea.

Fortunately, Elex demonstrated his abilities in the Sea of ​​Spirit, allowing her to use her spiritual power to restrain the power of the divine position.

The power of the divine position was eventually suppressed, but it still trembled restlessly, like a joyful rabbit leaping away!

As we all know, vengeful spirits are souls, but in essence, their attacks are all mental.

Furthermore, vengeful spirits absorb a portion of the enemy's soul power to strengthen themselves after devouring them, so they cannot be considered purely spiritual entities.

Based on the experience left by Qian Renxue when she purified the vengeful spirits, the general principle of the holy angels purifying vengeful spirits is that they use holy power to purify the resentment on the vengeful spirits, thereby absorbing the residual soul power inside the vengeful spirits in the process and forming a kind of feedback effect.

However, her method of purifying vengeful spirits is completely different from Qian Renxue's. She purifies vengeful spirits by peeling off their souls and absorbing evil and resentful energy to create a devouring effect.

Overall... the results are good. After all... purifying vengeful spirits isn't illegal. I've worked so hard, what's wrong with eating some resentful and evil energy to replenish myself?

Qian Lingyun carefully and precisely controlled these evil energies to integrate into her body without affecting her mind.

Although the vengeful spirits in the Holy Spirit Cult branch are not strong in origin, their numbers are still considerable. When these vengeful and evil spirits are gathered together, they are almost as potent as elixirs, especially with Electrolux overseeing the process.

After fully absorbing this negative energy, Qian Lingyun's soul power actually broke through from level 56 to level 57.

What does this mean?

Under Qian Lingyun's level-suppression secret technique, even with the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, three immortal herbs, and one spiritual medicine, her soul power only increased by eleven levels.

But at this moment, the negative energy absorbed from purifying hundreds of vengeful spirits is equivalent to one-twelfth of it!

If absorbing the evil energy within can lead to such a significant improvement, then if she were to directly devour an entire soul or even the life force of a Soul Master, the speed at which her cultivation increases would likely be even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun sighed again, and then began to worry about how to rescue all the holy servants of all the branches of the Holy Spirit Sect to form the Spirit Hall.

A branch altar has five or six members, and a large branch altar might have even more. The Douluo Continent is so vast that the Holy Spirit Cult has at least several hundred branch altars. If everything goes as smoothly as it does today, several thousand Soul Masters would be enough to form the basic framework of the Spirit Hall!

Before long, a holy servant, wiping away tears, approached Qian Lingyun. Her eyes were already red and swollen from crying. She knelt down, her knees buckling, and said, "Thank you, Holy Maiden, for your life-saving grace. You have helped me fulfill my greatest wish. You have helped me rescue my parents' souls and purified the impurities within them. I can only repay this life-saving grace with my life."

One by one, pale-faced figures with red and swollen eyes from crying came before Qian Lingyun and knelt down almost simultaneously: "We have no way to repay your kindness in giving us a second chance. We wish to follow you for the rest of our lives and serve you with our souls." Their experiences were almost identical to Nana's. After seeing their loved ones' souls finally released, their gratitude towards Bibi Dong, even though they didn't know her before, was beyond words.

"Holy Maiden, we have been enslaved by that old man for a long time, and almost all of us are orphans. We have no relatives left in this world," another holy servant cried out.

"Yes! Holy Maiden, among the six of us, there is one Soul Venerable, four Soul Masters, and one Soul King. All of them are Soul Instructors. If you refuse to take us in, we're afraid we won't escape the Holy Spirit Cult's pursuit." Qian Lingyun coughed lightly, looking at the six young men and women kneeling below, and whispered, "Someone's watching. It's a performance!"

After a moment's thought, Qian Lingyun stood up and declared, "I am releasing the souls of your parents today simply to show you that the higher-ups of our Holy Church are merciful and care deeply about you!"

"I have removed your worries today. In the days to come, you must shine brightly in the Holy Church, play your part, and let the light of the Holy Church illuminate the Douluo Continent."

After speaking, Qian Lingyun helped each of the holy servants up and encouraged them, "Young people, do a good job!"

The servants of the Holy Church were not fools; they readily shouted slogans such as "I will go through fire and water for the Holy Church" and "Long live the Holy Church!"

"Alright, you guys go ahead and get busy! I have other things to do!"
