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

Chapter 40 Substitute

With just one voice, Lin Xiao had already guessed who was behind this. As the golden light shone, his sea of ​​consciousness became turbulent.

Dragon God Douluo has not appeared in the world for a long time, and many soul masters have forgotten this long-famous master, but Lin Xiao is clear about the relationship between Zhang Lexuan and Moon En.

However, just when he thought he could relax a little, Zhang Lexuan's voice came again, "Hurry up, this method can only stop it temporarily, there is no way to defeat the hundred thousand year soul beast."

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, then realized that Zhang Lexuan had indeed come to the Star Dou Forest alone, and the movement behind him was not caused by Moon himself, but he left the force of one blow for Zhang Lexuan to protect himself.

He did not dare to relax, and the soul power in his body continued to flow into the soul guide propulsion device.

Just when Lin Xiao's soul power was almost exhausted, there was a sudden light around him, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear. There were no longer those lush trees before.

Lin Xiao landed on the ground, then rushed forward a few steps due to inertia, finally stabilizing himself. Looking back, they had already left the Xingdou Great Forest, and the aura of the 100,000-year-old soul beast could no longer be detected behind them.

Arriving here, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhang Lexuan. She looked a little uneasy because of what happened just now, and was looking in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, he is a person with background.

Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. With this kind of defensive measure, even against a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, there's still a chance for respite. Even if someone could withstand the blow, they'd have to consider the person behind Zhang Lexuan. This was far superior to his own teacher, who would abandon his disciples and run away alone.

Zhang Lexuan seemed to notice Lin Xiao's gaze, turned her head and looked at him, then saw how embarrassed he looked and chuckled softly.

But soon, she seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly put away her expression, "My mission is complete, I have to go back. The Star Dou Great Forest is very dangerous, it's better not to come here alone."

After saying that, she turned around without stopping and flew away into the distance under the moonlight.

Lin Xiao stood there, watching the slender figure gradually disappear.

"How come I didn't know when you made such a friend?"

A sinister voice sounded from behind, and Lin Xiao suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around and saw Sleepy Nightmare Douluo standing not far away, looking at him with a half-smile.

The ghost lingers.

A thought flashed through his mind, but Lin Xiao still cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, that's the person who took Xu He away last time."

"Really?" Sleepy Nightmare Douluo also looked into the distance, "No wonder he has such a method."

After a moment, he suddenly withdrew his gaze and took a look at Lin Xiao. Something occurred to him, and he snorted coldly, "Forget it, since she is from Shrek, let her leave. Let's go back and prepare the soul raising ceremony for you."

"Teacher, do we need to go look for those soul beasts again?"

"Hmph, no need." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo looked at Lin Xiao, "I have to say you're quite lucky. Although those soul beasts were lost, we now have better replacements. That attack just now severely injured that 100,000-year soul beast, which is a good thing for you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a pocket flew out from behind him. Although the soul beast inside was motionless, Lin Xiao was not unfamiliar with the pressure emanating from it.

Lin Xiao felt his body suddenly stiffen, and the relief he had just felt for escaping from the mouth of the 100,000-year-old soul beast disappeared without a trace.

He originally thought that this incident could at least delay him for some time, but he did not expect the soul-raising ceremony to come so soon. Even if he had some guesses about how to deal with it, he did not have time to try.

Looking up slightly at the Sleepy Nightmare Douluo in front of him, Lin Xiao's thoughts kept churning in his mind, thinking about the possibility of attacking a Titled Douluo now and then escaping.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea. Although Nightmare Douluo's cultivation was among the weakest of the Title Douluos, he was still an invincible opponent for him, who was merely a Soul King. "Let's go back. Once you complete the Spirit Ascension Ritual, you will become a true disciple of the Holy Church."

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo didn't know what Lin Xiao was thinking. He took a step closer and grabbed Lin Xiao's arm without saying a word.

Lin Xiao controlled his breathing and gradually calmed down, "Yes, teacher."

The scenery beneath his feet kept changing, from pitch black to dotted with light. Lin Xiao knew that he had arrived in the Sun-Moon Empire, where lighting soul guides had gradually appeared in the lives of ordinary people.

The closer he got to Mingdu, the colder Lin Xiao's heart became. The holy spirits he had seen before appeared before his eyes again, and those broken souls were so clear in his perception.

He had long understood that without power in this world, one would be at the mercy of others.

There was a constant sound of wind in my ears, and the distance was already bright, that was Mingdu.

However, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo had no intention of stopping. He changed direction slightly, bypassed the sky above Mingdu, and headed towards the Evil Demon Forest in the west.

Lin Xiao was not unfamiliar with this place. The headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church was right in the Demonic Forest.

Along the way, no soul beasts blocked the way of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo and Lin Xiao, until the building built under the ground appeared in front of Lin Xiao again.

"Elder."

The Holy Spirit Sect disciple at the door naturally recognized Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

"Yes." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo nodded and walked inside. Lin Xiao, already wearing a mask, also followed behind Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

There was a faint dark purple light on both sides of the dim passage. There was a faint smell of blood coming from the tip of the nose, and the air around seemed to be much colder than outside.

"Ta-ta-"

The footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Lin Xiao felt his heartbeat changing along with them.

"Old Eight, you're not in Mingdu, what are you doing here?"

The surroundings suddenly widened, and a deep voice echoed from the front. The entire Holy Spirit Church headquarters seemed to come alive with this voice. The footsteps of other Holy Spirit Church disciples and some whispered conversations reached Lin Xiao's ears at this moment.

"Master, I will lead Lin Xiao in the soul raising ceremony."

"So fast?"

Zhongli Wu, who was sitting in the main seat, lowered his head slightly and glanced at Lin Xiao. "His cultivation level hasn't reached that level yet, has it?"

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo also turned around and glanced at Lin Xiao. "He has always had good talent. I think he will gain something."

"Yeah." Zhongli Wu didn't say anything more after hearing this. His eyes fell on Lin Xiao again. However, when he saw the pocket behind Lin Xiao, his eyes suddenly changed, "A hundred thousand year old soul beast?"

It's no wonder that he was so surprised. He knew the strength of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo and he was obviously no match for the 100,000-year-old soul beast.
