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

Chapter 408 The Beginning of the Slaughter

Even a titled Douluo like Abomination, after arriving in the core area of ​​the far north, could not withstand the cold here with his physical strength alone.

The same was true for the group of evil soul masters who followed Lin Xiao here.

Lin Xiao and Abomination emitted soul power fluctuations, protecting everyone as they slowly moved forward across the vast snowfield. Once they left the protection of their soul power, the biting cold seemed to freeze the soul power within their bodies.

At this moment, when everyone saw the towering structure that appeared before them, they all involuntarily widened their eyes.

They usually don't have the opportunity to venture so deep into the far north on their own, and they never knew that there was such a tall tower here.

Even former disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult couldn't immediately connect it to the Tower of Death, since this Eternal Tower was based on the Tower of Death, but its appearance was already different from the Tower of Death.

The aura emanating from the Tower of Eternity seemed to dispel the surrounding chill. As the group approached, the heavy snow near the tower gradually stopped, and the frozen soul power within their bodies seemed to begin flowing again.

"Gentlemen, please follow me into the tower."

As Lin Xiao spoke, she took the lead and walked forward.

Some evil spirit masters still hesitated, but after glancing back at the vast snowfield that was completely obscured by the heavy snow and could not be seen in the distance, they finally gave up the idea of ​​returning.

Not to mention that two evil spirit masters had just died silently beside them, even without that incident, the extreme cold of the far north had already sealed off their escape route.

Slightly gritting his teeth, the group followed Lin Xiao into the Tower of Death. Abomination looked around, and seeing that no one had fallen behind, he followed as well.

The interior of the Tower of Eternity was much larger than anyone had anticipated. Looking around, gray light seemed to permeate almost every part of the tower; though clearly inside the Tower of Eternity, it appeared as if the boundaries were invisible.

As soon as they entered the tower, it was as if they had passed through a barrier and entered a completely different world. There was no extreme cold of the far north here, only deathly silence all around. Even those who were used to death couldn't help but feel a little fear.

Ming Lei's figure quietly appeared beside Lin Xiao.

"This is the first floor. I didn't leave too many traps, after all, I need to give them some time to adapt."

Ming Lei looked at his design and nodded with satisfaction. "However, they will soon discover that the spiritual energy inside the tower is limited. Soul energy will only be consumed, and the replenishment rate will be much slower than outside."

"In addition to the food shortage, we don't need to do much. They will realize on their own that the only way to survive here long enough is to exclude the people who came here with them."

Lin Xiao glanced at him sideways. It has to be said that Ming Lei is indeed a professional when it comes to getting others to kill each other; it's clear he's put a lot of effort into his "hobby."

"However, something is still missing here."

"What is that?" Lin Xiao asked to himself.

"This method alone can stir up internal strife, but it won't last. We need to set up rewards that are enviable enough, and then limit the number of people who can enter at each level. They will naturally fight tooth and nail for these rewards."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly realized something, "Was it you who came up with the method of selecting disciples in the Holy Spirit Cult before?"

Ming Lei opened his mouth, then suddenly stopped speaking.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao already knew the answer.

The Holy Spirit Cult has always selected its disciples in a brutal manner, putting a group of children together to fight each other, and those who survive are naturally the most outstanding disciples.

The selected disciples may not have outstanding martial spirits, but they will definitely be able to unleash unimaginable power in actual combat.

Children would fight tooth and nail for survival and for a place to become disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult. How similar the current setup in Aion is to that time.

Ming Lei naturally knew about Lin Xiao's experience in the Holy Spirit Cult. Back when Nightmare Douluo threw Lin Xiao into that group of disciples in order to cultivate him, he was at the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.

"How about I try a different approach?"

Ming Lei thought for a moment, then tentatively spoke.

"Fine, this is good." Lin Xiao shook his head. "Since they think that the Tongming Sect is another Holy Spirit Sect, and can protect them as the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire, they should naturally experience what the Holy Spirit Sect has to offer."

"After all, if they want another Holy Spirit Church, they can't just experience the benefits that the Holy Spirit Church brings them."

Ming Lei was already a soul, but upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The lowest-ranking evil spirit masters take pleasure in killing, while higher-ranking evil spirit masters are involved in business between empires, and may also be involved in smuggling weapons and trafficking people.

As for someone like Lin Xiao, who can single-handedly influence the entire Douluo Continent's situation, even though he is only the Imperial Advisor, he can still interfere in most matters of the Sun Moon Empire. Such an evil soul master is probably the greatest evil soul master on this continent.

Thinking of this, Ming Lei suddenly realized that even Ye Xishui and Zhong Liwu in the past were just like that.

Unaware of Ming Lei's thoughts, Lin Xiao simply raised his hand slightly, and several soul lamps appeared in front of him, slowly floating up.

The other evil spirit masters didn't understand what this was, but the disciples who had escaped from the Holy Spirit Cult immediately focused their attention on it.

They could vaguely sense that the remnants of souls contained within those soul lamps were resonating with them.

Swallowing hard, several pairs of eyes in the crowd stared intently at Lin Xiao's hand, not daring to look away.

However, Lin Xiao did not hand over the soul lamps. Instead, he gently raised his hand, and the soul lamps floated upwards, leaving the first floor and heading towards the higher floors of the tower in everyone's sight.

"If you can pass this test and reach the top, you will naturally be able to retrieve those items, as well as other rewards."

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, some people began to lose their composure.

"However, there are only a limited number of spots available to reach the top floor, so... you'll have to figure it out yourselves."

Lin Xiao, filled with hatred, slowly disappeared from everyone's sight, and the atmosphere among the group of evil soul masters immediately became tense.

Even a demonic soul master who couldn't recognize the Soul Lamp could probably guess from the reactions of others that it was definitely not an ordinary thing.

“Brother, we are from the same Holy Sect, how about we join forces for now…” Some quick-thinking evil spirit masters have already taken action.

"Master, this..." Out of sight of the others, Abomination looked at Lin Xiao with some confusion.

"Although they may still be able to join forces now, they are all evil soul masters. How can they have absolute trust? Soon, things will fall into chaos."

Abomination scratched his head. "But wouldn't that mean they'd start fighting?"

"Yes, I not only want them to fight, but I also want to make this place a place full of betrayal and slaughter on this continent."
