Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

"Damn it! Those despicable nobles."

As Ye Guyi stepped into the underground tunnel, the lights on both sides flickered, pointing to the secrets buried underground.

A pitiful figure also appeared in the latter's eyes.

She was a young girl, but her hands and feet were tightly chained with heavy iron chains. Her wrists were covered with marks, probably from being rubbed by the chains for a long time, as if she had been severely tortured. Her clothes were tattered and even smelled foul, indicating that they had not been cleaned for a long time.

Ye Guyi stepped past her subordinates and squatted down first, nervously examining the girl's injuries. She then breathed a sigh of relief—she still had a pulse and wasn't dead.

"I can't imagine how much suffering she went through." Ye Guyi's impression of the guys kneeling outside dropped several notches.

"Sir, what should we do?" The guards on the side seemed indifferent, as if they were used to the tragedies caused by power.

"boom!"

Ye Guyi smashed the heavy iron chains binding the girl, picked her up by the waist, and without any disgust at the stench on her body, ordered his subordinates: "Continue to investigate and see if there are any other victims like this."

"Here!"

With the guard's response, Ye Guyi turned and fled without looking back.

She only wanted to settle the girl first, and then kick those well-dressed, seemingly human nobles to death.

……

The magnificent Duke's mansion.

"My lord, I am innocent..."

Robin saw Ye Guyi burst out of the cave, his head seemingly displaying an anger value of +100, and rushing straight towards him. He quickly begged Xu Cheng and the others for mercy.

But Xu Cheng only glanced at him indifferently, and Robin instantly froze, his face turned pale, and his body trembled.

"What happened?"

Xu Cheng smiled as he told Robin to shut up, looking at Ye Guyi, who had arrived in front of him in just a few breaths, carrying a pretty young girl on her shoulder.

The air around us seemed to freeze.

Ye Cheng opened his mouth, as if to say something but then stopped, suppressing his words, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.

Ye Guyi, who was in a fit of anger, obviously didn't notice any of this. Her pale golden eyes coldly looked at the row of people kneeling on the ground. As inheritors of the Angelic Martial Soul, they hated evil and were determined to eliminate all darkness in the world.

Upon seeing this, he naturally couldn't hide his anger.

I wish I could tear these guys to pieces right now.

But she suppressed her anger, gently placed the girl on her shoulder aside, and reported to Xu Cheng.

"Oh, I see..." Xu Cheng clicked his tongue, but looked somewhat casually at the long shadow cast by the sunlight behind a palace pillar.

“Bone Robe, look over there,” Xu Cheng pointed.

"A shadow?" Ye Guyi raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little anxious. The girl beside her had a weak pulse and seemed to be on the verge of death, but this prince... seemed to have no anxiety at all, and instead told her to look at a boring light and shadow?

"Huff..." She took a deep breath, "Your Highness, she..."

"Look at that light and shadow, what color is it?" Xu Cheng interrupted her, speaking to himself.

"It's gray!"

Ye Guyi gritted her teeth and said.

"Then why...not black and white?" Xu Cheng pursed his lips and looked at the girl who had been rescued by Ye Guyi and was lying on the ground, barely alive.

Just when Ye Guyi was feeling disheartened.

Xu Cheng suddenly spoke up: "If the right to judge were given to you, how would you make your judgment?" "Kill them, hang their heads on the city wall and behead them. These nobles, not one of them is any good!" Ye Guyi said angrily.

Xu Cheng smiled.

He extended a finger and gently tapped the people kneeling on the ground.

"boom!"

The next instant, to the horrified eyes of those people, their heads exploded like shattered watermelons, blood soaking the ground and splattering half of Ye Guyi's clothes crimson.

"Now they're dead, so what?"

Ye Guyi stared at Xu Cheng in shock, as if he were a ruthless killer. Her throat bobbed.

This was the first time I felt the pressure from Xu Cheng.

"I……"

But she hadn't spoken yet.

A series of clattering sounds came from behind.

"It seems they noticed me a long time ago..."

Ye Guyi turned around and saw that the girl who had been lying on the ground with a faint breath was now slowly getting up. Her eyes were completely black, which was quite frightening, and black energy surrounded her.

The girl was like a puppet, her limbs were slightly stiff, which made her seem even more eerie.

"But it's alright, that troublesome guy has been killed by you, hahaha... How dare he imprison me, I will definitely turn his family into wooden puppets!"

The girl's voice was shrill, and she laughed coldly.

"You, you're not..." Ye Guyi stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

"Hehe, this aura is truly disgusting. It must be a martial soul with the attributes of a holy god. It's a pity that I was imprisoned for many years, and my strength is only two or three tenths of what it used to be. The wooden puppet was also completely destroyed by that guy. Otherwise, I would be glad that the first thing I did after I got out was to kill you and taste your fresh soul."

The girl sneered.

"How, how could this be..." Ye Guyi seemed to have lost her composure, and said in a daze.

"Wooden Puppet Master, a level 82 Soul Douluo, who wreaked havoc within the Heavenly Soul Empire three years ago. Her escape methods are first-rate; as long as the wooden puppet exists, the soul can regenerate. She disappeared three years ago... To be honest, our sect originally intended to restrain ourselves." Xu Cheng looked her over with great interest and said with considerable emotion.

"Unexpectedly, it was this duke who solved the problem."

"Hehehe, if he hadn't been so untrustworthy, inviting me to cooperate and offering me his soul to make a wooden puppet, only to drug me during the banquet and imprison me in a dark basement for who knows how many years, otherwise... I might have already advanced to the title of Douluo!" the puppeteer sneered.

"He's a good person? I wronged him?" Ye Guyi stared blankly at the headless body beside her.

"..."

Xu Cheng glanced at the girl and shook his head.

"What, kid? I think you have good talent. How about becoming my apprentice?" The puppeteer looked at Xu Cheng with great enthusiasm.

"You're also an evil soul master. We both have spirit-attribute martial souls. I see you have quite a bit of power under your command. If you provide me with a certain amount of souls to help me advance to the Title Douluo level, I..."

"Sorry, the Holy Spirit Cult doesn't accept trash." Xu Cheng smiled apologetically.

The puppeteer paused for a moment, his expression gradually darkening.

"Very well, since that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to teach you a lesson..."

As he spoke, the black mist around him suddenly spread outwards.

Seeing that no one was avoiding her, she said smugly, "My eighth soul skill, Soul Summoning! It can forcibly separate a person's soul from their body, and then..." (End of Chapter)
