Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 230 Frustrated
Mingdu welcomed the night again as usual. The soul guides lighting the streets were still bright, but the atmosphere seemed to have lost its former liveliness.

Although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy tried its best to cover up the attack on Mingde Hall, such a big commotion could not be hidden from ordinary people, but it could not be hidden from the soul guides and soul masters with cultivation.

In addition, there was the commotion that the people from Shrek Academy had caused in the Holy Spirit Church’s stronghold.

Ordinary people didn't know that it was the place of the Holy Spirit Church, and not everyone knew that it was an underground trading place in Mingdu. They only knew that people from other empires attacked the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.

An inexplicable atmosphere spread invisibly throughout the entire Ming capital city. In some shops that were open until late at night, familiar customers were discussing what had happened in the past two days. They were so upset that they wanted to pick up their soul guides and rush to the three empires to fight back.

"What exactly is your Majesty thinking? Why hasn't any news come out from the royal family yet?"

At a small stall nearby, several figures sat around a lighting soul guide, mumbling and complaining under the influence of alcohol.

"Yeah, this is too frustrating!" A young man on the other side slammed the empty bottle in his hand onto the table. "I've already decided to sign up for the army tomorrow. They've bullied us all the way to the capital, how can we swallow this?"

"Hey—" Another person beside him pulled the young man aside, "His Majesty must have his own ideas. It's better for us not to worry too much."

"I think you're just scared. You'd better sneak across the border and seek refuge with the three empires as soon as possible."

"How could I possibly mean that?" The man who had just started to persuade her blushed instantly, stood up, and raised his voice a bit. "I'm only following your Majesty's orders. As long as your Majesty gives the order, I will naturally charge into battle!"

"OK OK--"

Seeing that the sound attracted the attention of many people around, his drinking buddy hurriedly stood up and pulled him to sit down.

After all, we are discussing royal matters, so it is better not to let too many people hear it.

At another table not far from these people, several figures were also sitting together. One of them suddenly clenched the wine glass in his hand, but was quickly grabbed by the wrist by another person.

"Ming'er, what are you going to do?"

"Sister Ruoruo, I can't stand it anymore. The academy is clearly helping them eliminate the evil spirit masters, so how come we are the ones bullying them in the end?"

"Alas." Han Ruoruo glanced up slightly after hearing Wu Ming's words. Seeing that no one else noticed them, she spoke in a low voice, "We were never right in this matter."

"Although the academy's goal is indeed to eliminate evil spirit masters, making such a big fuss in Mingdu is somewhat embarrassing for the Sun-Moon Empire."

"Think about it, what would you think if someone inexplicably destroyed a large area of ​​buildings in Shrek City?"

"Of course I am..." Wu Ming suddenly stopped here. She had already understood the meaning of Han Ruoruo's words.

"Okay, don't be angry. After all, our identities can't withstand scrutiny. It's better not to stay too long. If you can't find Dean Yan and the others, find a place to rest first."

Hearing Han Ruoruo's words, Wu Ming's momentum instantly weakened. "I've heard people talking about the Jingyang Mountains these days. Could it be that Dean Yan and the others have gone there?"

"Dean Yan and the others didn't leave any marks, so I'm not sure either." Han Ruoruo shook her head. "How about this, let's search again tomorrow. If we still don't find anything, we'll leave. This is the Sun Moon Empire after all."

"This is the only way." Wu Ming said as she looked up and glanced outside. This one glance made her stunned for a moment.

"Big——" She just uttered a word and immediately fell silent. She reached out and shook Han Ruoruo beside her.

Seeing this, Han Ruoruo's eyes lit up as well. She gave the others a wink, and they all got up and left without making a sound. "Senior Sister, where have you all been these past few days?" As soon as they reached a secluded spot, Wu Ming couldn't wait to ask.

Zhang Lexuan also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing several inner court disciples. "It's a long story, and this isn't the place to talk. I'll take you away first, and then return to the academy as soon as possible."

"Where are Dean Yan and the others?" Han Ruoruo asked with some concern.

"They will leave soon. Mingdu is much more dangerous than the academy expected. We can't solve the problems here right now."

"what?"

Wu Ming and the others' expressions dropped instantly when they heard Zhang Lexuan's words. The fact that even the academy's elders couldn't resolve the situation was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations.

"It's good that you know the danger. Come on, I'll take you away."

Zhang Lexuan glanced around and saw that the night in Mingdu was not deserted. With the lighting soul guide, there were many pedestrians on the streets even late at night. She simply divided the group and they left in twos and threes and headed out of the city.

"Senior Sister, just now when we were resting..." While walking on the road, Wu Ming moved closer to Zhang Lexuan and said what he had just heard.

"I actually heard it too." Zhang Lexuan nodded and sighed.

From the time she entered the city to the time she found Wu Ming and his group, she heard such remarks more than once. Sometimes she would wonder if the academy's actions this time were too rash.

Someone had clearly warned her that the evil soul master's affairs were far from as simple as they seemed.

Mingdu City has no city walls, and there are far more than one road leading out of the city. In addition, there is a soul guide that illuminates the city all night long, so there is naturally no such thing as a curfew. Zhang Lexuan and his group left Mingdu smoothly without encountering any obstacles.

It was pitch black outside the city. Zhang Lexuan suddenly stopped and looked back at the light behind her, and was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" Wu Ming also stopped when he saw this.

"You guys should leave first, I still have something to deal with."

"What's the matter? Do you need our help?" Han Ruoruo noticed the movement behind her and turned around.

"Yes, Senior Sister, if it's not important, please leave first." Wu Ming also spoke up to advise.

Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything, just shook her head, "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Having said that, without waiting for anyone to respond, he turned around and re-entered the city.

"Senior Sister——"

Wu Ming was about to say something else, but was stopped by Han Ruoruo, "Ming'er, trust Senior Sister, let's go back first."

"Ok."

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Lexuan had already crossed several streets in Mingdu City. Soon, a gate appeared in front of her from afar. Although there was no conspicuous sign, anyone from the Sun-Moon Empire would recognize that this was the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
