Gu Han and Bibi Dong frowned slightly, exchanged a glance, and Gu Han stepped forward and asked, "Brother, we have been traveling for many years and have never heard of the Spirit Hall changing its rules."
"That's right, that's right. The Spirit Hall awakens the spirits of everyone in every village every year, but they've never charged a single penny. How can they just change that like that?"
"Soul Master, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
As soon as Gu Han said this, the villagers started discussing among themselves, all of them puzzled.
You have to understand, that's one hundred gold soul coins! The combined income of the entire village might not even amount to that much in a whole year.
Isn't this just making things difficult for people?
Is this still the Spirit Hall they know?
Everyone looked at Tong Yun, who stood in front of the wooden house, with eyes that were weathered, simple, and filled with doubt, and even a little bit of hope, hoping that this was not true.
Faced with the various gazes directed at him, Tong Yun shook his head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, this is what the bishop told me, and I just did as he said. The specifics are probably a decision made by the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall."
Gu Han shook his head slightly. There were no new regulations; it was probably just Miles causing trouble.
Thinking of this, Gu Han didn't say much. Six soul rings, yellow, purple, and black, slowly rose from beneath his feet, and the Xuan Shuang Sword was inserted into the ground in front of him under his control.
"Soul, Soul Emperor!!"
Everyone was stunned, especially Tong Yun, who had some knowledge of Soul Masters, and was terrified. What kind of Soul Ring configuration was this?
It should be noted that for ordinary Soul Masters, their first Soul Ring is usually white. A hundred-year Soul Ring is something that only people with influence and many friends can obtain.
In the eyes of ordinary soul masters, the combination of soul rings is usually white, yellow, yellow, and purple, which is already considered quite good.
The setup Gu Han is showing now is too frightening; he's clearly an extraordinary figure.
Seeing that he had subdued the other party, Gu Han calmly spoke up: "I am an inspector of the Spirit Hall. There is no fee rule in the Spirit Hall that you just mentioned. You just need to help them awaken their spirits. As for the rules, I will go see Miles."
"Yes, yes, I will obey your orders, sir."
Tong Yun wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and repeatedly agreed, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
Even if Gu Han didn't fabricate the identity of an inspector, Tong Yun wouldn't dare to disobey a Soul Emperor's request. After all, he was just a slightly higher-level employee. In the eyes of ordinary people, he might be a noble Soul Master, but in the Soul Master world, well... so there was no need for him to risk his life for it.
"Thank you so much, sir, for speaking up for us."
Seeing this, Jack cautiously walked over. His respectful attitude made Gu Han sigh inwardly, inexplicably thinking of his grandfather. Before Gu Han rose to prominence, his grandfather had the same attitude towards Soul Masters.
Gu Han withdrew his aura and martial spirit, and shook his head slightly, saying, "It's nothing. Just remember that the Spirit Hall will always help you awaken your martial spirits for free."
After saying this, Gu Han called out to Bibi Dong and left Holy Soul Village amidst the grateful gazes of the villagers.
"Hmph, that guy Miles is truly audacious, daring to do such a treasonous thing and ruin the reputation of my Spirit Hall!!"
Bibi Dong was filled with righteous indignation. Having grown up in the Spirit Hall since childhood, she now regarded the Spirit Hall as her own home. Now, a branch hall bishop under the Spirit Hall had actually done such a daring and reckless thing. It was truly despicable!
"This person is indeed incredibly audacious."
Gu Han nodded slightly, his tone calm.
Bibi Dong turned to Gu Han with a questioning look in her eyes: "Junior brother, are you angry?"
Gu Han smiled slightly, smoothed Bibi Dong's long, soft hair at the back of her head, and said, "Senior Sister, this matter is certainly hateful, but we have no need to waste our emotions on a dying person."
Indeed, in Gu Han's view, Miles has now crossed the Spirit Hall's bottom line. If any bishop or elder were to deal with him, he would surely die without any chance of survival.
"Hmm...that makes sense..."
Bibi Dong nodded her head thoughtfully, seemingly finding the statement quite reasonable.
Although Bibi Dong is quite mature now, she still occasionally reveals some cute little expressions unintentionally.
The two siblings arrived in Notting City. Although it was a small border town, its environment and economy were better than those of Shuofeng City, where Gu Han lived.
Although they are both fourth-tier cities, there are still differences between them.
The streets are bustling with people, and occasionally you can see a few children playing and frolicking together.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the distance, shattering the peaceful atmosphere.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a carriage slowly moving down the street. In front of it were several servants with whips, who kept waving their whips and lashing at pedestrians who blocked their way. Wherever they went, chaos ensued.
"Make way, make way! Lord Miles is traveling, everyone make way!!"
The group of people gradually approached and came to stand in front of Bibi Dong and Gu Han.
One of the servants, seeing how bold the two were and how ordinary they were dressed, didn't take them seriously and arrogantly walked forward.
"Are you deaf or blind? Can't you see Lord Miles's vehicle? Get out of the way!?"
As he spoke, the servant raised his whip, ready to strike.
"stop!"
Just as Gu Han was about to make his move, a majestic voice came from the ornate sedan chair behind them, and then a white-clad man who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old stepped out.
At this time, Miles was just a minor white bishop with a soul power of only level thirty-two.
However, with such soul power, one would be considered a rare master in this remote border town.
Although there are quite a few Soul Masters, they are like a pyramid, with fewer people at higher levels.
Although Miles is only a Soul Master, he is enough to dominate a small town.
"grown ups."
The servant immediately stepped aside respectfully, moving to either side.
Miles's gaze remained fixed on Bibi Dong. Although Bibi Dong was dressed very simply, her beauty was unparalleled. Miles had noticed her while in the sedan chair, which is why he called out to the servant.
Before Miles could even approach, Bibi Dong drew her Evil Divine Sword, and a series of yellow, yellow, purple, and black lights appeared beneath her feet, illuminating the surrounding landscape.
"Miles, how arrogant you are! As the White-robed Bishop of the Spirit Hall, you not only abuse your position to extort money from the people, but now you also condone your subordinates to do such things to oppress the people. What should your punishment be?"
Chapter 125 Miles Slays the Wolf Thief
"Soul...Soul Emperor!"
Myerston was immediately terrified. Faced with Bibi Dong's murderous gaze, he turned into a weakling and collapsed to the ground.
The other servants were so frightened that they couldn't speak, and collapsed to the ground, their pants soaked.
This change immediately calmed the pedestrians who had been frantically trying to avoid the area, and they turned their attention to this side, transforming their panic into a desire to watch the spectacle.
At the same time, people began to gloat. Since Miles came to Nottingham, there have been more rules here, and people feel as if an invisible black hand is squeezing their hearts, which is very unpleasant.
Almost everyone is afraid of him and avoids him at all costs.
Seeing the other side stumble and fall makes me feel a sense of satisfaction.
But at this moment, no one spoke, just watched quietly, afraid that the other party would only be taught a lesson, and that Miles would settle scores later after the Soul Emperor left.
"Senior sister, there's no need for that."
Gu Han reached out and patted Bibi Dong's hand, pressing down the sword in her hand.
"Yes, yes, yes, this brother is right, there's no need for that, no need for that..."
Miles nodded in agreement.
However, in the next moment, a sharp, cold light flashed in front of him, Miles' pupils dilated suddenly, and he felt a bone-chilling cold sweep over his body. Then everything went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
The Xuan Shuang sword in Gu Han's hand slowly disappeared. He turned around, looked at the somewhat dazed girl, and smiled slightly, saying, "There's no need to waste words with this kind of person. Just take action."
"Uh...oh."
Bibi Dong nodded her little head blankly.
"Good, good, well done!!!"
Seeing that the two had actually killed Miles, the crowd who had been watching the show cheered and their pent-up anger was released.
After killing Miles, the two wrote a letter to the main temple in Soto, requesting that they send another person to serve as the bishop there.
Furthermore, the letter specifically criticized Miles's misdeeds, which was undoubtedly a warning to the bishops there, criticizing them for their poor judgment of character.
I won't go into the details of their reaction.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong replenished their supplies in Notting City before heading south, crossing the border between Tian Dou and Xing Luo.
Although they were two different empires, the local customs and traditions were the same; people spoke the same language and used the same script.
Shicun is an ordinary little village nestled at the foot of the border mountains.
Of course, it wasn't the Stone Village that Gu Han knew about. It was just that most of the martial spirits in this village were stones without soul power, hence the name.
"The smell of blood is so strong."
Even from a great distance, Bibi Dong and Gu Han could smell the stench of blood in the air. At the same time, Bibi Dong's martial spirit was also pulsating, as if guiding her in the right direction.
"Walk."
Without saying a word, the two of them sped off following the scent of blood.
It was nearly dusk, and the twilight was deepening, casting a gray hue over the earth.
The entire Stone Village was shrouded in an eerie crimson hue.
Looking around, corpses lay scattered on the ground, including the elderly, children, and villagers in their prime, their blood staining the ground dark red.
In various corners of the village, one can occasionally see strangely shaped monsters with wolf heads and human bodies.
They wandered heavily through the village.
The monsters' eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, like two burning will-o'-the-wisps, constantly looking around as if searching for any survivors. The air was thick with a chilling stench of blood.
In the shadows, a boy who looked about eight or nine years old was huddled up, his clothes tattered and his body emaciated.
At this moment, he was curled up under the floorboards of a wooden hut, surrounded by the musty smell of rotting planks mixed with the pungent stench of blood, which was almost suffocating him.
His eyes were wide open, staring intently through the narrow gap in the floor at the hellish scene outside.
The wolf-headed, human-bodied monsters roamed the village with impunity. Their occasional low growls struck the boy's heart like heavy hammers.
The boy's eyes were filled with terror and hatred. His pupils contracted sharply due to extreme fear and hatred. He covered his mouth tightly with both hands, trying his best to keep himself from making a sound. His body was trembling uncontrollably.
However, fate played a cruel trick. At that moment, a pair of eyes, bloodshot and emitting a strong bloody smell, suddenly appeared in the gap.
Those eyes were cold and cruel, their blood-red pupils peering deep through the gaps, staring directly at the boy hidden inside.
The boy met those eyes, and a chill instantly ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if his whole body had been frozen in place.
