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

The words have not yet fallen.

Her face gradually stiffened.

Countless Soul Guidance Corps Guardians' souls left their bodies, but unlike three years ago, they were not swept away and swallowed by the black mist, becoming soul marks belonging to her. Instead, they chatted leisurely and in amazement, as if it were a novel adventure.

"What's going on?!" she asked, looking completely bewildered.

"That's why I said I don't accept trash..." Xu Cheng grinned, then his expression gradually turned cold.

"It's rather laughable to try and pull some tricks of an evil spirit master in front of me."

"You are... a member of the Holy Spirit Cult?!" The puppeteer suddenly grasped the key point and looked at the group with a look of horror.

Even among evil spirit masters, there are differences.

The Holy Spirit Cult is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of existence.

Most of the evil spirits are no match for the evil of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the evil spirit masters have no concept of friends, their battles are even more intense than those of the righteous sects... She looked around and saw Zhang Peng, Wu Yun and the others looking at her with amusement.

Her lips twitched violently.

It's like showing off your axe skills in front of Guan Yu (a legendary Chinese martial arts master).

"Sigh, let's end it here..."

Xu Cheng clapped his hands.

With a roar, a large gray gate slowly appeared in everyone's sight behind them.

"This is..." The chilling darkness and deathly aura emanating from the gate made even the puppeteer tremble. "Such a pure aura of the dead... you, who exactly are you from the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"Xu Cheng, the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult."

The latter grinned.

Then the dark door slowly opened.

Countless iron chains, seemingly alive, exuded a cold, dark, and devouring aura, tightly binding the wooden puppeteer's limbs and then dragging him inside.

"No, no..."

The puppeteer's voice trembled as he struggled incessantly.

She could sense that if she were dragged in, she would likely be utterly destroyed! She didn't have a new wooden puppet, which meant she couldn't escape by using it as a shell.

Ye Guyi looked at Xu Cheng, who had his hands behind his back, with an indifferent expression.

The towering gray door behind her exuded an eerie aura. This was the first time she had seen Xu Cheng in his "real" form, killing people without a care for life. But... which one was the real him?
Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son, Sun Moon Empire's Crown Prince, Sun Moon Empire's Royal Academy's legendary senior, or... this evil soul master in front of me?

Ye Guyi became increasingly bewildered.

"crunch..."

The door slowly closed.

A chilling sound came from inside, mixed with the wails of the wooden puppeteers.

"And then what, my judge?" Xu Cheng looked at Ye Guyi, his expression calm and unreadable.

"I..." Ye Guyi opened her mouth, then turned her head away.

"Because of your righteous judgment, he is dead." Xu Cheng did not let her off the hook and continued.

"Duke Robin was sentenced to death by our angels of justice for imprisoning a notorious evil spirit master..." Xu Cheng smiled and tilted his head.

"No!" Ye Guyi covered her ears.

For someone who hates evil, this torture is truly like a whip, lashing their heart and destroying what they have believed in for many years.

"..." Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly, but remained silent.

"What if I told you that this Duke Robin is a 'good person' whom you define, deeply loved by the people and ranked among the best in all the provinces of the Douluo Continent?" Xu Cheng pressed on.

"In the end, your so-called justice is nothing more than what you see with your own eyes, and then you make arbitrary judgments. You are easily fooled by people playing the victim and kill truly good people... So what's the difference between you and those tyrants?"

Xu Cheng chuckled softly.

He picked up the Angelic Holy Sword that the girl had dropped, put two fingers together, gently wiped away the bloodstains, and then slowly presented it to the girl, bending down to stare intently into Ye Guyi's eyes. The whole world seemed to darken.

"Why don't you commit suicide to atone for your sins?"

Everyone was shocked.

"I..." Ye Guyi's eyes reflected Xu Cheng's alluring face as she slowly accepted the holy sword and took a deep breath.

"Stab!"

……

As if the world were shattered.

It is divided into layers like a mirror, and then reassembled.

A gentle breeze passed by.

Ye Guyi shivered and suddenly looked around.

Countless Soul Guidance Corps guards around her, like her, looked around in astonishment, while Ye Cheng's expression was also tense, and most importantly...

She was not far away.

Several figures kneeling on the ground remained unharmed.

Instead, they looked at the Sun Moon Empire's people with considerable suspicion, their expressions changing in the blink of an eye.

"Huff, huff..." Ye Guyi gasped for breath, as if she had just been pulled from the water after drowning.

When she looked at Xu Cheng again, her beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Look there, what color is that?" Xu Cheng pointed to a long shadow cast by the pillar.

"Gray." Ye Guyi pondered for a moment.

"So, life isn't just black and white," Xu Cheng smiled and snapped his fingers lightly.

"boom!"

Ye Guyi, who had just relaxed, froze again. She stiffly turned her head slowly, and what came into view were three headless corpses, with the stench of blood still lingering in the air.

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "Do you understand?"

Seeing the girl's blank expression, he shook his head helplessly: "He is indeed very prestigious among ordinary people, but it's all just marketing... He is also an evil spirit master. You just need to continue investigating that underground chamber, and you will find a small mountain made of human skulls."

"As for the other two, they're no better. Although stereotypes are a bit one-sided, we should still think about why we have these stereotypes about these guys..."

Ye Guyi: "..."

"People see things in black and white, so what I'm telling you is, don't jump to conclusions," Xu Cheng said with a smile.

He glanced at Ye Guyi, who was kneeling on the ground, looking lost and dejected, as if his Dao heart had collapsed, and shook his head.

"Still too young..."

"Isn't that a bit too harsh?" Ye Cheng said with a touch of heartache.

Ye Guyi has experienced some dark things, but only superficially. Today's events will certainly have a significant impact on the girl.

"Hehe, you must have had far worse experiences when you were young, right?" Xu Cheng chuckled. "The angel I'm looking for is not someone who never lifts a finger and whose mind is controlled by emotions. You understand what I mean, right?"

"Sigh..." Ye Cheng sighed deeply.

"What I want is her transformation. If she passes this test, even if she becomes an angel in the future, she may still be able to try to repair it."

"..." Ye Cheng shut up completely.

A divine position, that's something else entirely.

Although this kid always likes to make grand promises, there's no denying that he seems to actually have the ability to deliver on them...
