Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 64 The Mastermind, the Spirit Hall?

When everyone saw Yun Ming looking towards the City Lord's Mansion and the Spirit Hall when he questioned the mastermind behind the scenes, the entire room erupted in uproar.

Ye Chuan's expression hardened upon seeing this.

When Feng Dianchen saw Yun Ming looking at them, his expression turned cold, and he asked Yun Ming in a low voice.

"Young friend, you must take responsibility for some of your words, Spirit Hall."

"Not to be profaned!!!"

At this point, Feng Dianchen, as the master of the Martial Soul Main Hall and a peak Soul Saint, unleashed his full power, pressing down on the arrogant junior opposite him.

Yun Ming remained unaffected by the imposing aura and continued speaking.

"Don't worry, Hall Master Feng. I didn't say that person must be from the Spirit Hall."

"My friend behind the scenes, if I'm not mistaken, you probably want the outside world to know that the mastermind behind this Wind Death Disease incident is either the Spirit Hall or the City Lord's Mansion, and then incite a conflict between the two sides, right? Aren't you going to tell us yourself?"

The scene fell silent. Seeing Yun Ming's certainty, the person behind the scenes wanted to see what he would say. Seeing no one respond, Yun Ming began his analysis.

"In that case, let me tell you about my findings!"

Afterwards, Yun Ming recounted to everyone the situation outside the city, including their encounter with the city garrison clearing out hidden dangers, the discovery of the plague outbreak in Saga City, the interception of information between the city and the outside world, the order for the city garrison commander to conceal the truth, and their own speculations. Yun Ming then brought the garrison commander and Zhang Tong along as witnesses.

After hearing Yun Ming's words, Ye Chuan immediately questioned Zhang Tong.

"Speak! Is what that kid said true? Did Principal Lin give you a secret order?"

Ye Chuan was furious. If what Yun Ming said was true and he was completely unaware of it, then not only would his city lord's mansion be riddled with holes, but he himself would also be in big trouble.

Seeing Ye Chuan, who was furious, and the other bigwigs in the city who were eyeing him covetously, Zhang Tong was also somewhat apprehensive. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said...

"It is indeed Lin Xiao, the deputy commander of the Military Intelligence Bureau!"

When Ye Chuan heard Zhang Tong mention Lin Xiao himself, he immediately wanted to turn around and find someone to confront him, but then he discovered that Lin Xiao was gone.

It turns out that Lin Xiao had already quietly left when Yun Ming had encountered him outside the city.

Lin Xiao's sudden disappearance immediately confirmed his suspicion. Ye Chuan's face turned ashen upon seeing this, looking extremely unpleasant.

Hearing this, Feng Dianchen's expression also turned somewhat grim. Yun Ming's attitude didn't seem to be lying. So, could this Wind Death Disease really be related to them?

Yunming continued his sermon.

"Then there's the suspicion of the Spirit Hall."

"We entered the city to find out the truth, so we arranged for one of my companions to enter through the main gate. Just as we expected, during the lockdown, all outsiders entering the city were forcibly suppressed!"

"Afterwards, following the marks we left on our companions, we searched all the way and finally found our companions and other Soul Masters who had been imprisoned in the south of the city. They were being held in the dungeon of the Spirit Hall."

"The first outbreak of the Wind Death Disease also occurred in the south of the city."

Feng Dianchen looked at Yun Ming, his face completely clouded with gloom.

The outbreak of the Wind Death Disease in the south of the city was not so bad, but the fact that those who entered the city later were imprisoned in the Spirit Hall's dungeon was a very serious problem.

It's common knowledge that the Spirit Hall's dungeons are always reserved for the most vicious and ruthless evil spirit masters, and even within the Spirit Hall itself, they hold a very high priority. If what Yun Ming says is true—that the mastermind really imprisoned someone in the Spirit Hall's dungeons and then released them to spread the news—the suspicion is extremely high.

Just as Feng Dianchen was about to confirm with Yun Ming, Yun Ming interrupted him.

"Palace Master Feng, there's no need to worry. The mastermind behind this will definitely show up today."

Yun Ming looked at Feng Dianchen and Ye Chuan and asked.

"Palace Master Feng, City Lord Ye, what do you think would happen if, after the Wind Death Plague causes devastating casualties throughout the city, the news is released to attract outside investigations, and then the mastermind behind it releases information about the City Lord's Mansion and the Spirit Hall's connection to the Wind Death Plague, and both sides attack each other to clear their names? How would the situation ultimately develop?"

Ye Chuan said through gritted teeth.

"A massive upheaval! Its impact is far greater and more devastating than the massacre of the city!!!"

Yun Ming nodded, confirming Ye Chuan's judgment, and then directly announced the biggest secret of the Wind Death Disease to everyone.

"I have seen the reports from the city's doctors about the Wind Death Disease, and I have also examined the physical condition of the infected. None of them showed any signs of poisoning or plague, making it impossible to detect anything."

"But what if the Wind Death Disease wasn't a plague in the first place? The Wind Death Disease can cause mental abnormalities, children are more resistant than adults, and there are other symptoms, which led me to make a bold hypothesis."

"Wind Death Disease is not a plague, but a Soul Master's Soul Skill, and specifically, a range-effect mental pollution Soul Skill!"

Many martial spirit abilities that seem bizarre now have been thoroughly studied 20,000 years later, including various strange mental abilities. It is precisely because Yun Ming comes from an era 20,000 years in the future that he can propose this conjecture.

"Judging from this perspective, everything makes sense now."

"The symptoms of coldness that are manifested are the body's self-protective overload caused by the soul skill forcibly polluting the mind of others."

"Because children are more easily disturbed, they are more susceptible to illness. However, this can be a blessing in disguise, as it can cause less stress on their bodies and result in fewer symptoms of colds."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Because of its large range and weak effect, this soul skill is useless against soul masters who have soul power protecting them."

"Moreover, the fact that this has been dragging on for so long doesn't mean the mastermind is kind-hearted. It's probably because the soul skill needs time to take effect."

"Finally, the use of a mental calming soul technique on the patient proved effective, directly verifying the truth of this conjecture."

The reason Gu Yan was healed earlier was due to Ya Li's first soul skill, "Holy Light Shines Everywhere," which has the ability to calm the mind.

After Yun Ming finished speaking, the square fell silent. Everyone had received too much explosive news today, and they were all having trouble digesting it.

Just then, a burst of unusually loud applause suddenly rang out from the crowd. Yun Ming looked in the direction of the applause and saw a man in white walking out from the Spirit Hall crowd. He clapped and spoke loudly.

"I never expected that you, young friend, would possess such insight at such a young age. It seems I, Feng, have underestimated the heroes of this world!"

Everyone looked in surprise toward the sound and, upon seeing that it was a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall, immediately distanced themselves from the Spirit Hall's group.

Feng Dianchen exclaimed in surprise.

"Xian'er, it's you!!!"

Feng Xian ignored his adoptive father, Feng Dianchen, and continued speaking while looking at Yun Ming.

"Once you reveal the details of my soul skill and the whole incident to everyone, the news in the city will definitely be out of the question. With the Spirit Hall's resources, there will surely be capable people who can undo my soul skill, making it impossible to replicate it successfully afterward."

"Now that things have come to this point, I only have this one chance if I don't want all my previous efforts to be in vain. So I have to step forward and deal with the person who can undo my soul skill. Since I don't know exactly who it is, I have to deal with all of you."

"So this is how you forced me out, isn't it!"

Yun Ming looked indifferently at the smiling, easy-going man in white and spoke calmly.

"That's right, so..."

"Pay the price for your sins!"

After Yun Ming finished speaking, Duke Xavier's men immediately activated their martial spirits and charged towards Feng Xian.

P.S.: The inspiration for this "wind death disease" comes from the organic lesions of mental illness. I'm not a medical professional, so I don't know much about it. This is just the setting. Please forgive me if you are a medical professional!
