In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping

As the Overlord Ship departed from Poseidon Island, Li Xuan quickly adjusted his emotions, locked himself in his room with hope, and devoted himself to working on the puppet.

After all, there are still tens of thousands of third-tier puppets that Li Xuan needs to process personally, which is no small project.

In the following days, Li Xuan absorbed the spiritual energy from the Fusang Divine Tree during the day and used it to make puppets at night. With each infusion and exfusion, Li Xuan's spiritual energy did not increase significantly, but it became more solidified.

As for the others on the Ba Hai, they each performed their duties, traveling across the Douluo Continent and doing their best to save the survivors.

And so, a week passed peacefully.

On this very day, Li Xuan was absorbing spiritual energy in his cabin when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it!" Li Xuan opened his eyes and asked the person outside.

"Young Master, it's me. Our men have discovered traces of the evil spirit master." Zhou Chen's voice came from outside Li Xuan's room.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's voice, Li Xuan immediately exited his cultivation state.

Then Li Xuan flashed to the door and opened it.

"Young Master." Zhou Chen bowed respectfully to Li Xuan.

“Old Zhou, no need for formalities. Take me to that person’s room. I need his helmet. I want to see for myself what exactly an evil soul master is.” Li Xuan helped Zhou Chen up, then frowned and said seriously to Zhou Chen.

"Yes, young master." Zhou Chen didn't hesitate at all and immediately turned around to lead Li Xuan to another cabin.

Soon Zhou Chen led Li Xuan to an ordinary cabin, where a young man of a young age was standing awkwardly, looking at the helmet with a helpless expression.

"Don't be nervous, what happened? Tell me slowly." Li Xuan patted the young man on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Young Master?! I've met you, Young Master. It's like this. Just now, when our convoy split up to search for survivors, I suddenly discovered in a cave that several people dressed in blood-red clothes were... were eating... eating people alive!" The young man looked at Li Xuan, trembling all over, as if the situation he had just experienced had left him with psychological trauma.

That's normal. After all, it's normal for an ordinary person to be scared after seeing such a thrilling scene.

"Eating people raw?" Li Xuan was also stunned. He didn't expect to see such a heavy taste from evil soul masters. Aren't they afraid of prions?

Regardless, Li Xuan still wanted to go and see for himself.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then reached out and placed his hand on the helmet. As his mental energy connected with the helmet, the scene in front of Li Xuan changed the next second.

Li Xuan controlled the young man's Five Thunder Puppet.

As Li Xuan connected to the Eye of Exploration and saw the surrounding environment clearly, he found himself in a dark cave. Looking around, he noticed a campfire not far away, with several red figures sitting around it.

Li Xuan checked the Five Thunder Puppet's condition; its feet were already bound with strips of cloth. He then carefully walked forward.

After silently approaching these people, Li Xuan could see them clearly.

A dozen or so people wearing red cloaks and blood-red masks were sitting cross-legged around a campfire, surrounded by surging soul energy, indicating that they were cultivating.

Li Xuan used the Five Thunder Puppet to investigate the cultivation levels of these dozen or so people. They were mostly Soul Masters at levels 30 or 40. Li Xuan's mental power was strong, so even if he directly investigated these people, they wouldn't be able to detect him.

"What kind of evil spirit master is this? Their strength is a bit weak. How can they kill people with this strength?" Li Xuan muttered to himself, feeling somewhat disgusted by the strength of these evil spirit masters, who were simply too weak.

However, since these evil spirit masters only had strength at levels 30 or 40, this Five Thunder Puppet was enough, so Li Xuan controlled the Five Thunder Puppet and charged out directly.

These people were the first to discover the existence of the Five Thunder Puppet. After standing up, they released the soul power within their bodies.

The soul power within these evil soul masters was blood red. As the soul power was released, a layer of blood mist actually condensed around these evil soul masters.

These individuals each possessed a different martial spirit, including animals, plants, and farming tools, but all of these martial spirits were blood-red.

It seems that the evil god they worship has transformed them.

As a puppet with the attribute of thunder, the Five Thunder Puppet naturally restrains these evil spirits, so Li Xuan controlled the Five Thunder Puppet to stop and extend its hand.

As the surrounding soul power was released, more than a dozen purple lightning bolts were released from the palms of the Five Thunder Puppet.

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

A series of thunderous explosions rang out.

The next second, more than a dozen evil spirit masters collapsed to the ground, convulsing, having lost the ability to resist.

Li Xuan approached the group and began to examine them closely.

Soon, Li Xuan found a blood-red animal hide book that recorded a method to increase martial soul talent by devouring flesh and blood. It seemed to be the cultivation technique practiced by these evil soul masters, and also the reason why their martial souls became like this.

Li Xuan put the book into the Void Crystal. He didn't leave anything else of value behind; he took everything with him. Then, carrying more than a dozen people, he walked out of the cave and sensed the direction of the caravan.

Then, Li Xuan walked towards the convoy.

The Five Thunder Puppet that Li Xuan is currently controlling is just an ordinary Five Thunder Puppet, so it doesn't have a voice transmitter and can't be questioned.

However, each grain convoy would have a captain, and the puppet controlled by the captain would be equipped with a voice transmitter.

To extract information about evil spirit masters, a voice transmitter is needed.

Soon, Li Xuan controlled the Five Thunder Puppet and led these evil soul masters back to the vicinity of the grain convoy.

The survivors gathered near the grain convoy cried out in alarm and tried to flee when they saw the people in red robes.

Clearly, these people knew something about these evil spirit masters.

Ignoring these people, Li Xuan approached the grain team leader. Without a word, he used his mental power to take control of the leader's puppet. "Don't panic, I've severely injured these people. I'd like to ask, what faction do these evil spirit masters belong to?" Li Xuan said through the speaker, then went to the carriage, took out some rope, and tied up the evil spirit masters, breaking their arms and legs in the process.

After all, these people are capable of eating people, and it would be quite troublesome if they were let go. Moreover, they are all Soul Masters, and it would be bad if they accidentally killed someone.

The survivors around were stunned for a moment after seeing Li Xuan's actions, but judging from his movements, they believed that Li Xuan was not with these people dressed in red.

"Do you know what they do?" Li Xuan asked the survivors in front of him after tying up more than a dozen people.

After hearing Li Xuan's words, everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

“They are evil spirit masters, known as the Blood God Temple. They worship the Blood God and feed on human blood and flesh. I encountered them before and escaped. They have raised many survivors to extract their blood and flesh,” a thin, bony child said timidly to Li Xuan.

"Well, thank you for the information. This is your reward." Li Xuan took out a piece of cured meat from the Void Crystal and handed it to the young man.

"Thank you, esteemed sir! Thank you, thank you!" The young man was so excited that he almost knelt down before Li Xuan. He hadn't eaten meat in who knows how long.

The others were also slapping their thighs in frustration, regretting not speaking up what they knew.

"Anyone who knows anything about the Blood God Temple, as long as it's useful, I'll give them a reward," Li Xuan said, standing up.

“I know that there are about several dozen members of the Blood God Palace nearby, most of whom are below the Soul King level. The branch palace master is a Soul Emperor.” A middle-aged man squeezed out, raised his hands high, and said to Li Xuan.

Without wasting any words, Li Xuan simply tossed a piece of cured meat into the middle-aged man's hand.

The others also shared what they knew that was valuable. Of course, Li Xuan was generous with anything of value, and he would give them meat directly.

After more than ten minutes, Li Xuan had gained a certain understanding of the Blood God Temple.

The Blood God Palace is a force that emerged after the chaos in the Douluo Continent. It is said that the palace master is a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse who roams the north of the Heaven Dou Empire, occupying the territory of three provinces.

The Blood God Temple believes that eating flesh and blood can absorb the talents of the dead, and that consuming enough ordinary people can also enhance one's talents.

Judging from their appearance, these people must have escaped from the City of Slaughter. As for what the Blood God was, Li Xuan really didn't know.

If the Blood God is a god, then Li Xuan could obtain another divine spark, which would greatly help improve his strength.

In short, this is clearly a cult, and those who believe in evil gods need to be completely eliminated from this world.

However, if the master of this Blood God Temple is a Soul Douluo, then his Five Thunder Puppet is really no match for a Soul Douluo-level expert.

"Try to handle it if you can, and if you can't, then run away. Try to save as many survivors as possible," Li Xuan said with a sigh.

Of course, the plan also needs to be changed. After gathering these people, we need to immediately arrange for them to be taken back to Ladi Canyon. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if we really encountered the Lord of the Blood God Temple.

As for these dozen or so evil soul masters, Li Xuan woke them up one by one, interrogated them, and obtained information that was basically the same as that obtained by the other survivors, except for some information about the cities where the Blood God Temple members were located.

After getting what he wanted, Li Xuan didn't hold back and burned the evil soul masters to ashes.

"Looks like we need to adjust the direction of these teams to avoid conflict with these evil soul masters. We also need to find out information about them. Once I return to Douluo Continent, I'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop," Li Xuan said, stroking his chin after a moment's thought.

Then, Li Xuan immediately released control of the Five Thunder Puppet, and his spiritual power returned to his body.

"Don't worry, those Blood God Temple Soul Masters have all been dealt with. Get back to work," Li Xuan said, patting his helmet as he spoke to the young man in front of him.

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" The young man bowed deeply to Li Xuan, his voice trembling with emotion.

Li Xuan waved his hand, then led Zhou Chen out of the young man's room.

"Old Zhou, I'll have to trouble you to hold a meeting with them later. While you're searching for survivors, please also help me find out the territories of Soul Masters or Evil Soul Masters near Zhou and his group. Make sure they stay out of the way. Also, compile the information. Once I return to Douluo Continent, I will clean up these evil gods one by one." Li Xuan sighed and said to Zhou Chen.

Li Xuan and his group are still at sea. With each Five Thunder Puppets destroyed, there's one less left. There's no need to waste time killing these evil soul masters. Once Li Xuan returns to Douluo Continent, he will personally eliminate these evil soul masters one by one.

"Yes, young master," Zhou Chen replied, then turned and went to do it.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, and then went to the captain's cabin.

"Xuan-ge'er, you're here." Sikai quickly put down the nautical chart in his hand and greeted Li Xuan with a smile.

"Brother Sikai, how long until we can return to Douluo Continent? The situation on Douluo Continent is too difficult right now," Li Xuan asked Sikai directly.

“Our chosen route is to head directly north and land in Hanhai City. It will take at least half a year to return to Douluo Continent,” Sikai said after a moment’s thought.

"Half a year..." Li Xuan pondered for a moment after hearing Si Kai's words.

Half a year is a long time for Li Xuan. He is not sure how long the Ladi Canyon can remain hidden. After all, the current Ladi Canyon has no defense at all, and anyone can come in. Only after he returns to Douluo Continent can he rebuild the Ladi Canyon and improve its defense.

"Do we have any other landing sites?" Li Xuan asked Si Kai after thinking for a moment.

“Yes, there is. Landing from the northwest would allow us to land two months earlier, giving us four months to prepare. However, that place is far too far from the Ladi Canyon.” Skye walked up to the map, pointed to a spot in the northwest desert bordering the Heavenly Dou Empire, and said to Li Xuan.

"Besides this place, are there any other places?" Li Xuan asked Si Kai.

“No, this place is the southernmost point of Douluo Continent, so there is no closer landing point than this.” Sikai looked at the map and pondered for a moment before saying.

Li Xuan nodded upon hearing this and began to think.

“Alright, Brother Sikai, let’s go straight to this place. I’ll take some people off the ship, and then you can go back to the village where we set sail and get back to Ladi Canyon as quickly as possible,” Li Xuan said to Sikai after a moment’s thought.

“This…” Sky hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll discuss this route with others. Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless." Li Xuan patted Sikai on the shoulder, then turned and left the captain's cabin.
