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

Chapter 329: Big Trouble
At night, in the military camp of the Sun Moon Empire outside Tiandou City, soldiers could be seen everywhere, but there were no other figures except for the sentries patrolling back and forth at the rear of the camp.

Even within the military, places where corpses are buried are rarely visited.

"Team...captain..."

A patrol of soldiers had just stepped into the shadows when one of them suddenly spoke, his voice trembling.

"what's up?"

"Did that grave move just now?"

"Where did that grave move?" Upon hearing this, the captain's expression turned serious. He glanced at the area where the soldiers' bodies were buried, adjusted his footing, and moved slightly closer.

"team leader……"

The man spoke softly again, and the captain suddenly turned around upon hearing this. "What are you afraid of? These are the graves of our brothers and comrades. Did you do something to betray them?"

"I didn't," the soldier hurriedly said, "but those evil spirit masters..."

"This matter must not be mentioned again!" the captain said sharply, interrupting the soldier.

Although those members of the Holy Spirit Cult were on the same side as them, some corpses that could not be collected in time still fell victim to them.

Even in death they cannot find peace; how could some soldiers not harbor resentment? However, this matter had been strictly forbidden from discussion before the war even began.

"This is Patrol Team Three. Have you detected any soul power fluctuations to the northwest?"

"Patrol Team Three, the high-altitude soul-guided device did not detect any soul power fluctuations."

"alright, got it."

The captain put away the communication device in his hand and glanced in the direction of the grave again. "It shouldn't have been made by a person. It was probably just something blown by the wind that made you mistake it."

"Yes, Captain."

"Let's go."

The group left quickly, but their words were clearly heard by Lin Xiao.

Smelling the earthy scent mixed with the stench of blood that reached his nose, Lin Xiao stopped making any further moves for a moment.

He hadn't expected these patrolling soldiers to have such good eyesight; they noticed him with just a slight movement.

After a moment of thought, his left arm glowed with a metallic silver-gray light. He gently raised his hand and ran it over the storage soul tool. In the next instant, ripples spread through the surrounding space, and his figure quickly disappeared.

Beneath the grave, only a metal doll covered with a black cloak lay quietly in the soil.

"call--"

Lin Xiao stood in mid-air, looking at the light emitted by the illumination soul guide device in the distant military camp, and let out a long breath.

Having a soul power level of 92, one wouldn't feel suffocated even if buried underground, but lying motionless in the soil is not a pleasant experience either.

After glancing at the direction, Lin Xiao took out a gray cloak and covered himself completely. Then, he lightly stepped forward and headed towards the Demon Forest.

He didn't know whether the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy were moving quickly or slowly, but it was always better to arrive as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Forest, Lin Xiao's destination had already been thrown into chaos.

"who?"

"Intruders have broken in!"

A questioning voice rang out from the corridor of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters. Lin Huiqun paused at the sound, and before she could react, another voice came from behind her. Glancing at the two Holy Spirit Cult disciples lying at the entrance, Lin Huiqun looked around but couldn't find any more sentries. Yet, she didn't know why she had still been exposed.

Of course, she didn't know that the two disciples at the entrance of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters were a warning sign. When they died, their soul lamps would go out, and those inside would naturally know that outsiders had come to the headquarters.

Before she could figure it out, a series of metallic clanging sounds rang out from the passageway, and Lin Huiqun turned her head sharply to look inside.

On the surface, there doesn't seem to be much change, but looking at that dark tunnel, it's like a giant beast opening its mouth, full of a dangerous aura.

Lin Huiqun frowned, flicked her robe, and plunged inside.

The Holy Spirit Cult headquarters was heavily guarded. After following Huo Yuhao into the Demon Forest, Lin Huiqun did not make a move immediately. However, just now, she received a message from Huo Yuhao from inside.

She didn't know what the "spirit ascension ritual" was, but even Huo Yuhao sensed something was wrong and sent her a distress signal. No matter how dangerous it was inside, she had to go in and rescue Huo Yuhao.

Inside the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, piercing alarms blared throughout. In a stone chamber, the Seventh Elder, Masked Douluo, stood before a bed, his movements labored. On the bed lay a girl who had long since died.

That was just an ordinary person; no one knows when Masked Douluo secretly went out and kidnapped him here.

The moment the alarm sounded, the Seventh Elder's body jolted, he lowered his head slightly, and his face instantly turned ugly.

He hastily dressed and rushed out of the stone chamber, only to see the disciples guarding the headquarters running hurriedly outside.

"Who are they? Who is invading our Holy Church?"

The Seventh Elder shouted loudly, but the other disciples were not clear about the specifics either. They asked several people in a row, but they could only vaguely say that it seemed to be a Title Douluo.

"Title Douluo?"

The Seventh Elder's face grew even more somber. The alarm in his ears kept stimulating his nerves. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have come up with something, turned around, closed the stone chamber door, and then crawled into the depths of the passageway.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ming Lei Douluo stared intently at Huo Yuhao in front of him.

“Good disciple, tell your master, our Holy Church headquarters has been located here for decades without ever being attacked. How come outsiders suddenly appeared as soon as I brought you here?”

"Master, this disciple does not know either."

"You really don't know?"

The aura of a Title Douluo emanating from Ming Lei Douluo pressed down on Huo Yuhao like a monstrous wave. Huo Yuhao's body trembled slightly, but he still managed to shake his head.

"This disciple truly does not know."

Ming Lei Douluo stared at him for a moment, then said, "Hmph, regardless of whether the person who came is related to you, that person is not going to get out."

"With so many headquarters and bureaucratic offices, do you really think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?"

As Ming Lei Douluo spoke, seeing that Huo Yuhao's expression had not changed much, he withdrew his aura and said, "You wait here, I'll go and meet that person."

As he spoke, he flashed out of the tunnel.

Only when he could no longer sense the aura of the Nether Thunder Douluo through his mental detection did Huo Yuhao finally let out a long breath and lean against the wall to relax slightly.

But as he leaned against it, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and before he knew it, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"No, I have to go help Old Lin."

After finally calming down, Huo Yuhao had a thought flash through his mind, and his spiritual power spread out once again.
