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

Chapter 275 Dragon King
"Eighth Elder."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao nodded to the disciples at the headquarters entrance and led Nana into the passageway.

"This is the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult. From today onwards, you will become a true core disciple of the Holy Spirit Cult, which is what you know as being elevated from a servant of the Holy Spirit to a Holy Spirit."

"Hmm." Nana nodded slightly, but her expression wasn't good.

At the branch of the Holy Spirit Cult, she also saw some Holy Spirits who were like walking corpses. Their fanaticism towards the Holy Spirit Cult filled her heart with fear. She could sense that the ascension ceremony was definitely not a good thing for her.

"roll!"

Just as Lin Xiao finished walking through the corridor and entered the headquarters hall, a sharp shout suddenly rang out from the depths of the headquarters, followed by a gust of cold wind that slightly fluttered Lin Xiao's cloak.

Nana, who was behind him, reacted even more obviously. Her body seemed to tremble slightly with fear as she quickly hid behind Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao glanced at Nana, then quickly looked away and gazed deeper into the headquarters, his brows furrowing slightly.

He wasn't unfamiliar with this aura, but it was precisely because he was so familiar with the sisters that he wondered what had happened inside.

"I am the Seventh Elder of the Holy Sect. I would never even give you a second glance under normal circumstances. How dare you treat me like this!"

Zhongli Wu and the other elders were nowhere to be seen in the hall. Lin Xiao took a few steps toward the direction from which the sound came, and soon heard another voice.

However, this voice seemed to ignite the anger of the person inside. Lin Xiao felt a chilling soul force sweep past, and the Seventh Elder's figure suddenly flew out from the passageway beside him and slammed heavily onto the ground.

A ghostly figure followed closely behind, its five sharp claws gripping the Seventh Elder's neck tightly.

“Old man, I’m not the same person I was when I first joined the Holy Spirit Cult. If it weren’t for your status as an elder, I would have sent you to see the Holy Emperor if you said another word.”

"Wu Yu, don't be impulsive—"

Another figure quickly appeared in the hall, but before he could finish speaking, he seemed to notice Lin Xiao who had just entered and stopped in his tracks.

"Eighth Elder." Wu Yun opened his mouth and uttered a few words.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yu also turned to look, loosened her grip, and the Seventh Elder immediately fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Seventh Elder," Lin Xiao said, speaking with great respect.

Masked Douluo rubbed his neck, then saw Lin Xiao speaking up. He wanted to speak, but felt a lump in his throat, and his face turned bright red.

"Humph."

After a long silence, he seemed to finally realize something, as if he remembered that the Wu Yun and Wu Yu sisters were brought into the Holy Spirit Cult by Lin Xiao. He snorted coldly, put on an ugly face, and got up to leave the hall.

"Eighth Elder." Wu Yu then stepped forward.

"You don't need to be so polite." Lin Xiao raised his hand, then glanced in the direction the Masked Douluo had left. "What was that just now?"

"Hmph, that old bastard was kept at headquarters by the cult leader, and he got lustful again, wanting to bully my sister."

“Wu Yu!” Wu Yun interrupted Wu Yu with a serious tone, “After all, the sect has still reserved an elder’s position for him.” “I will push that old thing off the elder’s position sooner or later.” Wu Yu did not hold back at all, “Just wait, it won’t be long.”

As Lin Xiao listened to the words of the Wu Yun and Wu Yu sisters, his gaze swept over them. In just a few years, they had already become true eight-ring Soul Douluo, even surpassing the Masked Douluo who had dispersed his cultivation. No wonder the Masked Douluo couldn't do anything to Wu Yu.

Moreover, the fact that evil spirit masters have reached the eighth ring means that their cultivation is not only based on the abilities of evil spirit masters, but also on their own considerable talent. The Holy Spirit Cult's attitude towards the two sisters has probably changed.

Prior to this, in order to incite resentment in the hearts of the Wu Yun and Wu Yu sisters and help them quickly improve their cultivation, the Holy Spirit Cult had tormented them a lot, especially Wu Yun.

Seeing her own sister suffer such humiliation, Wu Yu's hatred was no less intense. Now that she had such cultivation, it was no wonder that she had such an attitude towards the Masked Douluo.

"By the way, who is this..." Wu Yun, listening to Wu Yu's words, changed the subject, his gaze softening as he looked at Nana, who was standing behind Lin Xiao with a hint of fear.

“I brought her here for the ascension ceremony.”

"The Ascension Ritual..." Wu Yun frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Where is everyone else from headquarters?" Lin Xiao looked around, somewhat puzzled, as no one else came over despite the commotion in the lobby.

Wu Yun glanced at Nana again before turning her gaze to Lin Xiao, "The sect leader has gone to Mingdu, and the other elders have their own arrangements. The two of us will also be going to the branch altar in Risheng City in a while. Only the Seventh Elder..."

Lin Xiao quickly realized that since Xu Tianran had already prepared to start a continental war at the Elite Competition, the Holy Spirit Cult would naturally have received the news in advance.

Only the Masked Douluo, whose cultivation has yet to recover to the Title Douluo level, remains here. However, judging from what just happened, the Masked Douluo doesn't seem to want to regain his strength.

“However, the chief elder is still in the church. If you need to hold an ascension ceremony, just go and find him.” Wu Yun said, pointing to the passageway beside him.

"Okay." Lin Xiao was familiar with that place. He grabbed the bag containing the soul beasts and glanced at Wu Yun and Wu Yu again. "Take good care of yourselves after you go to the branch altar."

"Mm." The two sisters nodded. Wu Yun seemed to want to say something more, but after moving her lips, she didn't say a word. She just watched Lin Xiao and Nana disappear into the passageway.

Before entering the passageway, Nana looked back. Along the way, she suddenly felt that this Holy Spirit Cult was somewhat different from what she had imagined, and not everyone was like the evil spirit masters she knew.

The sound of their footsteps landed on the walls of the passageway and then turned back. In such a narrow place, an ordinary person might not be able to distinguish between the two sounds, but to Lin Xiao, they were exceptionally clear.

Then, from the front of the passageway, came the footsteps of a third person.

"Greetings, Senior Dragon Emperor."

Although he was the chief honoree of the Holy Spirit Cult, Long Xiaoyao didn't really like being addressed by his title.

"Ah."

Long Xiaoyao still looked exactly the same as when Lin Xiao first met him. His eyebrows and hair were white but he didn't look old. In fact, his long hair was neatly combed, as if he took great care of it every day.

"Senior, I'm here to lead my disciple in the Spirit Ascension Ceremony."

"Hmm." Long Xiaoyao responded again, then slowly shifted his gaze to Lin Xiao, remaining silent for a moment, "This must be your first time bringing a disciple here, right?"
