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

Chapter 409 Never Forget Where You Came From
It's winter now, and the nights in the far north are long, but they will eventually pass.

At dawn, the Tongming Sect disciples were dumbfounded as soon as they stepped out of their rooms. The Tongming Sect, which had been packed with people just yesterday, had become almost deserted after only one night.

All those who entered the Tongming Sect during this period have disappeared without a trace. Only a few people remain in the sect, but judging from their expressions, they have no idea what happened last night.

In the square, Wu Yu was clapping her hands as she passed in front of the crowd, as if she had just returned from outside after dealing with something.

"Deacon Wu, what happened last night?" Finally, someone couldn't contain their curiosity and stepped forward to ask.

"I don't know," Wu Yu turned to look at the others, but seemed to know nothing at all.

"If you want to know, just ask the cult leader when he returns."

"Master?" The others raised their voices a few decibels upon hearing those two words.

After all, they were among those who had heard the rumors outside, and they also wanted to know if the rumors about the Tongming Sect becoming the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire were true, and whether they could still appear outside like ordinary people.

Before they could find out the truth, Wu Yu had already disappeared without a trace.

For an entire day, the atmosphere in the Tongming Sect was somewhat strange because of Wu Yu's words. Every now and then, people would look towards the main gate of the Tongming Sect to see if anyone was there.

"Master, what if those people leave?"

“No, that won’t happen.” Hearing the doubt in the voice of hatred beside him, Lin Xiao shook his head. “If someone leaves that tower, I will naturally sense it.”

"I'll have to make you travel to the far north more often in the future, since I want them to live a little longer."

Hatred didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, with his strength, traveling to the far north wasn't a difficult thing. At most, the cold here made him a little uncomfortable, but during his time with the Tongming Sect, he got more and more used to it.

When Lin Xiao and Abomination returned to the Tongming Sect while chatting casually, all they saw were pairs of pleading eyes.

"Master!"

"What are you doing? I've been away for so long, have you missed me?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the curiosity of the others was immediately suppressed. It was one of the disciples who had participated in the Elite Competition with Lin Xiao who stepped forward.

"Master, rumors are flying around outside, and we're all wondering if they're true?"

"What do you think?" Lin Xiao didn't respond, but only narrowed her eyes slightly. "If it's true, what will you do? If it's false, what will you do?"

"This..." The group exchanged glances.

“Master, if it’s fake, we will naturally continue as before. We have gotten used to life here over the years.”

"If it's true..."

"At least we can go outside and see the world, and we won't have to bother the ordinary people around us just to buy things."

Lin Xiao looked at the relatively small number of Tongming Sect disciples in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. "It is indeed true. Soon, with your status as Tongming Sect disciples, the Sun Moon Empire will no longer investigate your origins in the Holy Spirit Sect. Soon, you will be able to walk around outside like ordinary people."

As soon as the words were spoken, a look of joy appeared on the faces of the other disciples. After all, although hiding here had evaded the pursuit of the Sun Moon Empire, there was still a difference between hiding and being able to move around outside.

The vague rumors were finally confirmed by Lin Xiao, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Xiao looked at everyone without saying a word, but her eyes changed slightly.

"You're all people I handpicked, don't let me down." Gathering her thoughts, Lin Xiao suddenly turned to the side, "You guys come out too."

Beside him, Wu Yun and Wu Yu also stepped out and came to Lin Xiao's side.

"Besides dealing with the disciples, I also have something to do with the ordinary people around me when I came back this time."

"Although this place can provide shelter from the war, the environment is still harsh. Ordinary people can survive by using soul tools for warmth, but they can't live a normal life. Everything has to be purchased."

"Now that the war has ended, there will soon be no more war on this continent after I leave. These people can be sent out of the mountains, and you can organize your disciples to protect them as they leave."

"Yes, Master." Wu Yun bowed slightly. Although Lin Xiao had said it many times, Wu Yun's attitude towards him had always been very respectful.

After saying that, Lin Xiao turned to look at Wu Yu on the other side, "Similarly, with the protection of the state religion, I think many disciples will go out and experience things for a while."

"Although it will be hard work, I need you to take a few trustworthy disciples to observe the behavior of the other disciples. If any old habits have not been corrected, then let Elder Abomination send them to the Tower of Eternity."

Although Wu Yu had never seen what the Eternal Tower looked like, she glanced at Abomination beside her and nodded in agreement.

Lin Xiao raised his hand, and several more storage soul tools flew out of his hand and landed steadily in the hands of the group. "From now on, you will have to pay more attention to the affairs of the sect."

"These things are from the Sun Moon Empire. If you need anything else, please let me know."

Wu Yun and Wu Yu had no other requests, but Zang E scratched his head and hesitated before speaking, "Master, I..."

“I know what you need for your spiritual practice, but you can no longer be like the Holy Spirit Church was back then.”

As Lin Xiao spoke, he suddenly sighed softly, "Well then, because of this war on the continent, many broken corpses on the battlefield went unclaimed and were hastily buried. I'll ask the Sun Moon Empire to help you mend them and find a proper place to bury them."

"Yes, Master."

He nodded repeatedly in disgust.

"Master, that person from Shrek Academy..."

Wu Yun didn't finish speaking, but Lin Xiao knew she was referring to Bei Bei, who had stayed with Tang Ya at the Tongming Sect.

"If they don't want to leave, let them go. Anyway, my Tongming Sect doesn't have anything shameful to hide."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao glanced at the disciples who were still immersed in joy, then turned back and swept his gaze over Wu Yun, Wu Yu, and Zang E, "I won't be staying long this time. There are still some matters in the Sun Moon Empire that I need to handle personally."

"I hope you will not forget why you came here."

"Respectfully seeing off the leader!"

The disciples spoke in unison, but before they could finish, Lin Xiao had vanished.

Wu Yun turned to look at Wu Yu beside him, "I think those disciples who participated in the Elite Competition are quite good. If you want to do something, take them with you."

"Okay sister."

Wu Yu agreed, and Wu Yun glanced at Zang E again, nodded, and then they each left.
