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

Chapter 304 Catch them all in one fell swoop

As Lin Xiao was talking to Ming Lei Douluo, Chen An's remnant soul suddenly floated into the air. Lin Xiao glanced at Ming Lei Douluo, who was completely unaware, and gently raised his hand to put it away.

Then, their attention turned to Wang Dong and He Caitou.

Huo Yuhao was collecting their "corpses" when Lin Xiao stared at them for a long time. As he had guessed, he did not see any remnant souls floating out of their bodies.

"What are you looking at?" Following Lin Xiao's gaze, Ming Lei Douluo saw nothing unusual except for Huo Yuhao's slightly trembling hands.

"It's nothing, I just noticed that he still has some feelings for his former classmates."

Lin Xiao withdrew his gaze, confirming his guess. Huo Yuhao was indeed still Huo Yuhao; he couldn't possibly have truly intended to kill Wang Dong and He Caitou. He had probably created this scene using simulated soul skills and other means.

"Haha, I think he'll get used to it eventually." The Thunder God's gaze didn't linger for long before he turned and walked away. Huo Yuhao's behavior seemed perfectly normal to him.

Lin Xiao didn't expose him, but simply turned around and followed behind Ming Lei Douluo.

That's good. Thinking back to Tang Wutong's ninth soul skill, if Wang Dong really had an accident here, I'm afraid the entire Holy Spirit Sect wouldn't be able to withstand the consequences.

Although things didn't quite go as he expected, Huo Yuhao still managed to enter the Holy Spirit Cult. Now, it remains to be seen whether he can successfully relay the news from headquarters to Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao held Wang Dong's "corpse" in his arms. As he heard Lin Xiao and Ming Lei Douluo's footsteps fading into the distance, he collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.

His trembling hands weren't because of the death of his former classmate, but because of the tension he couldn't suppress.

Every second just now felt like it had been stretched out countless times. For the first time, he didn't want his powerful mental strength anymore. The slowed-down time made him suffer several times more than ordinary people.

"Thank you, Brother Tianmeng."

Huo Yuhao let out a long sigh of relief and spoke softly to himself.

"You don't need to thank him. He's only good at playing dead," Hyotei said bluntly.

"There's nothing I can do, Bingbing. I don't have your strength. If it weren't for my ability to play dead and avoid my natural enemies, you wouldn't be seeing me today."

"Fortunately, those two didn't look closely." Bingdi ignored Tianmeng Bingcan. "But Yuhao, do you really want to join the Holy Spirit Cult? That's an organization of evil soul masters."

"Ah."

The usual concern from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor calmed Huo Yuhao down, but his expression turned serious again as he said this, "Two Title Douluos, I have no other choice."

"And this might be a rare opportunity to investigate the Holy Spirit Cult," Huo Yuhao said, his tone turning somber. "I'm just sorry to have you all facing danger with me."

"It's alright, Xiao Yuhao. After following you for so long, we've gradually come to understand that you humans are different from us soul beasts. There are things more important than survival. Go ahead and do it."

"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded heavily, stood up, and then lifted Wang Dong and He Caitou up.

Although they weren't truly dead, they were now unconscious as well. Lin Xiao had been holding Wang Dong's arm the whole time he was watching, ready to wake him if anything went wrong and have him struggle desperately using their combined martial spirit fusion technique.

Fortunately, things didn't get to the worst. Outside the warehouse, Ming Lei Douluo and Lin Xiao watched the ever-changing night sky in the direction of the palace, listening to the commotion in the distance.

"It seems the matter at the palace is not over yet."

"Hmm." Nether Thunder Douluo nodded and sighed softly, "His Highness is no ordinary person. He anticipated the reactions of the three great empires and even sent a special message to tell us to keep a close watch on all the warehouses."

Lin Xiao didn't respond, pondering the news that had recently come from the palace. It wasn't just that Xu Tianran had anticipated the reactions of the three great empires; it was also because the movements of all the soul masters at the Mingyue Hotel were being monitored by soul-guided devices.

No matter how ingenious the plans of the three great empires were, all their actions were laid bare under the monitoring of the soul-guided devices.

Before they learned about the Soul Guidance Device, they probably never imagined that the development of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Devices had exceeded their expectations.

"Hmm?" The noise around him gradually subsided, and Ming Lei Douluo turned his head slightly. "The commotion at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy has subsided a lot. It's probably almost over."

"Hmm." Lin Xiao was still looking at the night sky in the distance. Several beams of light rose from the ground, seemingly trying to escape towards the outside of Mingdu. Unfortunately, each of those beams of light was blocked by the Sun and Moon Empire.

Only near the palace, two beams of light, one green and one yellow, worked together to break through the blockade and escape.

"It's over." Lin Xiao sighed softly. It was originally a surprise attack carefully prepared by the three great empires, but unfortunately the whole plan was seen through by the Sun Moon Empire, and those attackers ended up walking into a trap.

Xu Tianran had originally planned to keep the contestants and experts from Mingdu in the city, but now this has saved him a lot of effort.

As they were talking, Huo Yuhao had already dragged three corpses out of the warehouse.

"Let's go. Don't waste these corpses. Maybe other disciples can use them. Let's take them back first." Nether Thunder Douluo glanced at them and took the lead.

Huo Yuhao paused noticeably, clearly surprised by the Holy Spirit Cult's method of disposing of the corpses, but he had no choice but to follow.

Meanwhile, in the palace on the other side, although many people walked right into the trap, Xu Tianran was not as satisfied as Lin Xiao had expected. On the contrary, he looked at the two people who had escaped in the distance with a terribly gloomy expression.

"The Holy Spirit Cult is really getting more and more outrageous. Even though Dragon Emperor Douluo is a Limit Douluo, he couldn't stop even two people after fighting for so long."

Orange stood quietly behind Xu Tianran, watching him without saying a word to disturb him.

Since news of the latest soul tools kept coming from Mingde Hall, Xu Tianran's reliance on the Holy Spirit Cult has diminished, and his attitude towards the Holy Spirit Cult has become increasingly dissatisfied.

Have any news come back from other places?

"The news has already come back." Orange nodded. "Not only Mingde Hall, but many warehouses in Mingdu were attacked at the same time. Fortunately, the response was timely and not too much was lost."

"As for those who launched the attack and those who took the opportunity to go out and deliver the message, they have all been detained."

"Alright." Xu Tianran's expression finally relaxed a bit. "In that case, the rest will have to be done by my beloved concubine."

"Yes, Your Highness."
