Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Seeing that the person was conscious, Zhao Ju finally felt relieved.

Erlang's father had taught him, and his elder brother had saved his life on the battlefield. Before his death, his elder brother entrusted him with taking good care of Yang Erlang, a matter he always kept in mind.

So after learning of Yang Erlang's mysterious disappearance, he returned to the Duke's mansion under the guise of retirement to investigate. He had no clues at all, but when he discovered that the Duchess was deliberately targeting Huo Yun'er, and that Huo Yun'er had been in contact with Erlang, he began to have some suspicions.

Using this as a basis, they secretly investigated and eventually arrested several members of the Youming Zhu family for interrogation. Only then did they find clues pointing to this death row in the capital. After sneaking in, they indeed discovered Erlang's existence.

It's good that Erlang hasn't been tortured to the point of collapse. He can face his teacher and Dalang with dignity after he dies.

"He is an evil spirit master."

Relieved, Zhao Ju turned her gaze back to the gray-haired old man and confirmed that he was an evil spirit master.

Evil Soul Masters are very different from normal Soul Masters. He had seen some, so after the gray-haired old man unleashed his Martial Soul and Soul Power, he determined that the old man was an evil Soul Master.

"He wanted to devour my martial soul to strengthen his own, but now it's actually benefiting me by merging his martial soul into my Soul-Breaking Spear."

Tian Hao casually explained that the gray-haired old man's sixth soul skill was quite interesting. It could devour the characteristics of other people's martial souls to enhance its sharpness. However, judging from his memories, it also had limitations. After devouring it, it would take a long time to fuse with it, and during this period, the soul skill could not be used.

He just happened to take the opportunity to extract and devour its martial spirit and soul to strengthen the Soul-Breaking Spear.

How do we get out?

Zhao Ju looked at the tightly closed iron gate and was very worried.

This is the empire's death row, and the lowest level at that. Rescuing someone from here is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Using force is definitely not an option. You should know that there is a Soul Douluo powerhouse guarding each level of the dungeon, and there is also a Title Douluo on the surface.

Moreover, this is the capital of the empire, teeming with powerful individuals. If any disturbance were to occur, a large group of powerful individuals, including those at the Title Douluo level, could arrive immediately.

So the only option is to outsmart them, but how can they outsmart them and escape?

"Over the years, I have been practicing the method of distraction control and using the pain of punishment to hone and refine my mental strength, which allows me to temporarily create a mental clone to control other people's bodies."

Currently, I can only control the bodies of ordinary people, but these two are already dead, so I can control them directly. I'll hold my breath and hide inside your storage soul tool to control them to leave.

Tian Hao offered a solution: since Yang Erlang's experiences over the past ten years were essentially a blank slate, he could decide how to handle it.

After speaking, he manifested the Soul-Breaking Spear, which was fused with the Soul-Devouring Spider Martial Soul, and pierced into the Netherworld Woman's body, devouring her soul and Martial Soul, and then integrating it into the control of two spiritual forces.

Seeing that the two corpses were indeed controlled to get up and even begin to treat their wounds, Zhao Ju finally approved of the plan. She then took out a change of clothes from her storage soul tool, wiped the bloodstains on the ground clean, and rinsed them with water.

This is the torture chamber, often stained with blood, but it can be easily treated to avoid being noticed.

After confirming that nothing had been missed, Zhao Ju then put the person into her storage soul tool.

As a former member of the White Tiger Guard, he naturally possessed a storage soul tool, although it was only the lowest grade and the space was not large, it was still enough to hold one person.

Ordinary storage soul tools are not incapable of storing living things, but they lack air inside and cannot breathe, so storing living things inside will eventually cause them to suffocate.

However, if you can hold your breath, you can stay in the air for a while.

Last night, these people led the two people, who had been manipulated and dressed in black robes, out and encountered the jailer guarding the interrogation room.

Fortunately, the soundproofing of the interrogation room door was very good, and the cell boss did not hear any noise from inside.

"Watch your mouth, that will help you live longer."

Tian Hao controlled the Netherworld woman and gave her a cold warning, then threw out a bag of gold soul coins as hush money.

"I understand, I understand!"

Catching the bag tossed to him, the jailer quickly nodded to show he understood, and at the same time, weighed the bag of gold soul coins in his hand, his heart filled with joy.

Although he was the warden of the death row, there were many wardens like him in the death row, whose status was not high and whose salaries were average.

To live comfortably in the capital, one naturally needs to use one's position to earn some extra money. As long as it doesn't affect the affairs of the death row itself, there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, he has been bribing and giving gifts to those above and below him, so there won't be any issues.

This bag of gold soul coins is equivalent to several years' salary for me. As expected of someone from a big family, they are indeed very generous.

"Please, sir!"

After carefully storing the gold soul coins, the jailer respectfully led the way, guiding the two through numerous traps and mechanisms to exit.

"Sir, I have already cleaned up inside, but the body needs to be taken out and disposed of as soon as possible."

On the way out, Zhao Ju whispered to the jailer that she was going to find an excuse to leave the capital's death row prison together.

After all, he was a jailer here and was not allowed to leave normally, especially when he was on duty, he had to rely on the power of this jailer.

"Clean it up thoroughly, don't leave any trace, and you'll get your share of the benefits later."

The jailer whispered a reminder that this was a side job he had taken on, and since that eccentric and ruthless person wasn't on the records, it naturally had to be dealt with cleanly.

This was also the main reason he recruited Zhao Ju; he wanted to leverage her professional skills to help him handle certain matters.

Of course, the bag of gold soul coins that Zhao Ju gave her was also an important reason.

"Don't you trust me to handle things?"

Zhao Ju chuckled, a genuinely heartfelt laugh.

I risked my life to infiltrate the capital's death row to rescue Erlang. Today, my wish has finally come true. How could I not be happy?

The jailer returned a reassuring smile, quite confident in Zhao Ju's abilities; after all, anything produced by the White Tiger Guard was bound to be top-notch!

"It's almost time for the city gates to close, let's get out of the city as soon as possible."

After getting far away from the capital's death row, Zhao Ju finally found a quiet alleyway to stop, and took the disabled but determined Erlang out of the storage soul tool, panting heavily.

Even with his battlefield experience, he was quite frightened this time.

The main reason is that the death row in the capital is too dangerous, with a titled Douluo guarding it, and the matter concerns Erlang's safety.

If they were to slip up even slightly, both brothers would be doomed. He would be too ashamed to face his teacher and Boss Yang after he died.

"Let's go to the Duke's mansion first!"

Tian Hao wanted to use the identity of Yang Erlang to return to the Duke's mansion and bring out Huo Yun'er's soul.

I didn't know Yang Erlang had turned into a sycophant before, but now that I do, I naturally have to take advantage of the situation and make some plans.

For example, we could obtain Huo Yuhao's mother's soul and keep it as a trump card, which might come in handy in the future.

It's just a casual move anyway; it's best if it works, but there's no real loss if it doesn't.

Since he had nominally devoured the evil soul master who possessed the Soul Devouring Spider, and thus had the soul skill to devour martial souls and souls, it was perfectly reasonable for him to extract Huo Yun'er's soul, and it could withstand any scrutiny.

Moreover, even if he didn't use Huo Yun'er's soul, Tang Shenwang would still use it, so he might as well keep it for himself.

"Second brother, you... never mind, I'll take you to see. Anyway, they've already been driven to a corner of the Duke's mansion, where there are very few patrols!"

Zhao Ju wanted to persuade him, but when she thought about how Erlang had suffered for ten years in the capital's death row for that woman, she couldn't refuse to let him see her.

Go and see him this time, it might make Erlang give up.

Without delay, Zhao Ju collected the two bodies and carried Yang Erlang's remains through various alleys to the city gate, just in time to close the gate and successfully leave the city.

Then they went to a small town outside the city to find their third sister, Zhao Lian'er, who lived there. The three siblings rode their horses to the Duke's mansion, which was dozens of miles away.

Fortunately, the situation at the front was critical, and the Duke's mansion had transferred almost all of its experts away, even the Soul Masters it was training. Due to the shortage of manpower, no personnel were arranged to patrol the area outside the mansion.

They climbed over the wall into a secluded corner and soon arrived at a cemetery. Zhao Lian'er led Tian Hao to a new grave.

A little boy was curled up in front of the grave, with tear stains at the corners of his eyes and his eyes were red and swollen, clearly having cried a lot earlier.

Needless to say, this must be the grave of Huo Yuhao and his mother Huo Yun'er.

The Duke's mansion was very large; it was more like a city than a residence. It had a special cemetery area, with the ancestral hall of the Dai family at the front. However, only the Duke's relatives were qualified to be buried in this city cemetery. Huo Yun'er, who had given birth to a son for the Duke, was barely qualified.

Of course, the burial site was in the most remote area, which made it convenient for the three of them to sneak over.

"She was found dead this morning and buried by the child himself."

Zhao Lian'er said with a complicated expression that she had retired a year ago with her sworn brother and found a job delivering vegetables in the Duke's mansion, where she often kept an eye on Huo Yun'er and her son.

He paid more attention to Huo Yun'er, especially after she fell seriously ill. Today, he personally witnessed the child carrying his mother here to bury her, and then falling into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

Without wasting any words, Tian Hao manifested the Soul-Shattering Spear and pierced into Huo Yun'er's grave, injecting his soul power into it.

Zhao Ju and Zhao Lian'er, who were standing nearby, did not understand this practice at first, but then they saw a phantom rising from the grave, which immediately made them think of a word—soul!

That's right, Tian Hao used the Soul-Devouring Spider Martial Soul of the gray-haired old man to extract Huo Yun'er's soul.

There are many layers to the meaning of human death, among which the soul will only leave the body after the brain has completely died.

Huo Yun'er only died last night, so her body parts are still active and her soul has not yet left her body, which is why it was able to be extracted.

Of course, another reason why he was able to preserve it for so long is that he has been secretly absorbing the spiritual power of the divine realm to restore his primordial spirit over the years.

Although no one actively strengthened Huo Yun'er, the constant cleansing by the divine power of the divine realm benefited her mental strength and soul, making her soul much stronger than that of an ordinary person. This is why she has been able to maintain her current state and even preserve her martial soul.

After sealing Huo Yun'er's soul in his spiritual sea, Tian Hao glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was in a deep sleep, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Whether this overpowered individual can uncover the full extent of the Asura God's plan and ultimately reap the rewards depends on his abilities.

"go!"

Without lingering, Tian Hao gestured for Zhao Ju, who was carrying him, to leave.

His main purpose in coming here was to take away Huo Yun'er's soul. Now that he has it, there is no need for him to stay any longer.

This is, after all, the Duke's mansion. Even though it's in a remote location, there's still a chance of encountering patrol teams. If you're discovered, things could get complicated.

Not to mention that the situation at the death row in the capital will inevitably erupt sooner or later, so running away as soon as possible is the right thing to do.

Although Zhao Ju and Zhao Lian'er were very shocked, they knew that now was not the time to ask about it. The three of them followed the original path, climbed over the wall, and rode their horses towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Next, we must use the Starry Sky Forest to shake off any enemies who might come to pursue us and erase their traces.

All three siblings were veterans of war, possessed excellent mobility, and had strong counter-tracking abilities. Several days later, they successfully arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

When Duchess Zhu Qingxia discovered that her trusted confidante had not returned, she immediately realized something was wrong. She sent people to investigate, but to little avail. She began to panic, worried that the matter would be exposed.

Tian Hao naturally didn't care how flustered Zhu Qingxia was. The three of them used the outermost area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to erase all traces, and only emerged from a place a thousand miles away a month later.

At the same time, the three of them changed their hairstyles and their clothes. Tian Hao even made a soul-guided prosthetic limb for Yang Erlang's body and also made one for Zhao Ju to replace her stiff prosthetic leg.

"Erlang, when did you become a Soul Master?"

Zhao Ju jumped up and down in surprise after getting the soul tool prosthetic leg. This soul tool prosthetic leg was much more convenient than the old one. Apart from not having any feeling, it was not much different from a real leg. In fact, it could even unleash stronger speed and power when soul power was input.

"I was seriously injured when I saved the Duke. During my recovery, I read some books on Soul Masters and taught myself."
