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

Chapter 377 Screening

"call--"

Wu Yu exhaled softly, and a cloud of water mist suddenly appeared in front of her, which quickly dissipated into the air with the wind.

Wu Yun noticed the commotion beside him, turned around and glanced at it, then smiled slightly.

They weren't unfamiliar with such scenes, but they were always in a hurry, as if too many things occupied their minds, leaving them no time to think too much.

But now, even these most ordinary things are much more interesting than before when you look closely.

"Sir, the temperature has dropped sharply since we arrived here. We must be almost at the place you mentioned, right?"

Lin Xiao walked ahead of Wu Yun and Wu Yu, and upon hearing this, turned around and glanced back, saying, "We're almost there."

"By the way, as I said before, you don't need to call me that."

“But we follow you closely, and you are now a Title Douluo, so you should have a proper title.”

"If we really need a name for it..." Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun took two steps forward and followed Lin Xiao's gaze. In the distance, they saw a low mountain in front of them, with a giant stone tablet carved from ice and snow standing in front of it, bearing the three large characters "Tongming Sect".

"Master, you are back!"

Seeing the familiar figure rapidly approaching from behind the monument, the Wu sisters, Wu Yun and Wu Yu, both changed their expressions. However, upon hearing his address, they suddenly turned to look at Lin Xiao.

“He is one of the people I told you about before. Just like you and me, you can call me that if you want.”

The abomination landed steadily in front of Lin Xiao, and looking at the Wu Yun and Wu Yu sisters beside him, he quickly recognized them.

"Master, are they the same as the other disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao turned to look at the two of them and said, "That depends on their own choice."

“Although you say you want to follow me, I will not force you. Even if you don’t join the Tongming Sect, you can stay here. With us, you won’t have to hide from us like before.”

"Master!"

Wu Yun and Wu Yu acted almost without hesitation.

"Let's go." Lin Xiao smiled upon seeing this and took the lead. "By the way, I didn't expect to be gone for so long. Has anything happened in the sect during this time?"

“No.” Abomination shook his head. “There are just a lot more people in the mountains.”

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao looked at Abomination upon hearing this. "Where did you come from?"

“Some of them were members of the Holy Spirit Cult whom the disciples had encountered before. They heard about what was happening here and chose to stay. Others were refugees who had fled here from various places because of the war. The disciples found them and brought them back.”

“There’s another one…” Abomination paused slightly, “…a very special person.”

"What special method?"

"The leader will understand once he has met her."

"Okay, then take me to meet her in a bit."

“Yes.” Abomination nodded. “Since you haven’t returned, we haven’t made a decision. We’ve just left these people here for now, to be dealt with once you return.”

"Sigh." Lin Xiao sighed softly, "Having fled to this far north, they probably really have nowhere else to go."

"Let them stay in the mountains. Oh, and prepare some warming soul tools to send to them. They're probably just ordinary people and can't stand the cold here."

“Hmm.” Abomination nodded. “My disciples and I have made some simple soul tools, but we still need to provide them with soul power frequently.” “That’s easy. I’ll figure something out later.” Lin Xiao said as he entered the mountains. Before him, the simple Tongming Sect’s headquarters had undergone many changes.

Apart from the fact that the Tongming Sect's territory has expanded and the number of rooms has increased, there is not much difference from before. However, there are many more ordinary residents' dwellings on the outskirts, which are simple but enough to shelter them from the wind and snow.

"How do they...get along with the disciples in the sect?"

"It's alright for now. We haven't told them about their past identities, and the disciples in the sect are no longer like they were back in the Holy Spirit Sect. They get along quite well normally."

"Take me to see what the other disciples are doing, and those Holy Spirit Cult disciples I haven't met yet."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing that Hatred was heading towards the backyard, Lin Xiao followed with Wu Yun and Wu Yu.

The Tongming Sect had relatively few disciples, and the extreme north was bitterly cold with few places to go. Soon, news of the sect leader's return spread, and more than a dozen figures gathered in the backyard to wait.

Some people who had never seen Lin Xiao before craned their necks out of curiosity, wanting to see what this cult leader looked like.

However, the moment Lin Xiao appeared in front of everyone, several people immediately lowered their heads.

"See the leader."

Lin Xiao pretended not to notice the change in the crowd and raised her hand with a smile.

"I am just like you all, a homeless person, so there's no need to be so formal."

"Yes."

That being said, Lin Xiao's cultivation as a Title Douluo was undeniable. Even though he concealed his aura, no one dared to truly regard him as a "homeless person."

“I was once like you, so I know why you’ve come.” Lin Xiao’s gaze swept over everyone. “Since we’ll be spending time together here from now on, let’s start with the simplest introductions.”

As Lin Xiao spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze sweeping over the people in front of him as he recalled a memory.

When the Holy Spirit Cult was preparing to participate in the Elite Competition, in order to select suitable contestants from various branch altars, Zhongli Wu once showed him a list of the core disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although it was just some basic information and simple experiences, Lin Xiao could still glean a lot from it.

His intention in taking in Holy Spirit Cult disciples was ultimately to provide a place for those who had not yet fully integrated into the Holy Spirit Cult, rather than to actually create another "Holy Spirit Cult".

As each of his disciples was introduced, Lin Xiao quickly came to a plan.

After the last disciple finished speaking, Lin Xiao smiled and took two steps forward, saying, "Now that you're all here, you must know each other's origins."

"From now on, no one will investigate your past anymore."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

"Master." Wu Yun, who had been following behind Lin Xiao, gently tugged at Lin Xiao's sleeve.

“I’ve met some of these disciples before, so I’ll keep them here…”

Lin Xiao glanced back at her and gently raised her hand. "I know, don't worry, I have other uses for keeping them here."

As she spoke, Lin Xiaowei glanced almost imperceptibly toward the north.

Wu Yun noticed Lin Xiao's gaze and looked up as well, but there was nothing there except for the heavy snow.
