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

Chapter 89 There are traces to follow
Lin Xiao thought to himself, as expected.

With the influence of Mingdetang, even if someone from the royal family took action, they would be able to find the culprit, but using the name of an evil soul master made it difficult for Jing Hongchen to take action.

Both the royal family and Mingde Hall are familiar with evil soul masters.

Jing Hongchen knew clearly what kind of people the Holy Spirit Cult was, and also knew about the connection between the Holy Spirit Cult and the current royal family. Moreover, the Holy Spirit Cult was near Mingdu. Jing Hongchen also had to consider whether it was really the Holy Spirit Cult that took action because they did not recognize the flag.

"Teacher, did we really do this?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Although the sect's expenses are enormous, it hasn't reached the point where we'd attack Mingde Hall," said Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, sitting aside. "Besides, we're currently running Mingdu's underground business. How could we lose the bigger picture for the sake of a small one? Do you think the sect leader is so shortsighted?"

"Disciple doesn't dare, but this is the capital of the Sun Moon Empire after all. There shouldn't be many evil soul masters who can take action here."

"Who says that anyone who calls himself an evil soul master is definitely an evil soul master?"

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's eyes turned cold. "Not only do these people use the name of evil soul masters, but they are also quite cruel when they act. It's a pity that they only imitated the methods of evil soul masters, and those people were just wasted."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly when he heard this.

It was obvious that the real robbers were trying to pretend to be evil spirit masters and shift all the blame onto them. However, they probably didn't realize that Mingde Hall had long been connected to the real evil spirit masters.

"Teacher, do you have anything for me to do?"

"Yes." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo nodded. "Jing Hongchen invited us to Mingde Hall this time precisely for this matter. He won't pursue the matter of the Holy Spirit Cult, but he does hope that we can investigate this matter thoroughly."

Listening to what Sleepy Nightmare Douluo said, Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

Judging from the style of the Holy Spirit Church, even if they did it, they would never admit it as long as there is no evidence. How could they be in a situation like this where they are helping Jing Hongchen investigate the truth when it is clearly not them?

Has the Holy Spirit Church changed its nature?

Lin Xiao denied this idea again. Rather than believing that the evil soul master had changed his nature, it was more likely that the Holy Spirit Church was afraid of affecting Mingdu's business and had no choice but to take action.

"I came to you specifically to ask you to investigate this matter. Didn't you say before that your cultivation was too slow? Now this is excellent merit."

Lin Xiao always felt that today's Sleeping Nightmare Douluo was full of weirdness. On the one hand, he generously helped Mingdetang investigate, but on the other hand, he only sent disciples like him out. It seemed that there was no soul master with higher cultivation level who would take action.

Could it be that this was really the work of the Holy Spirit Cult? Are they putting on a facade of investigation to avoid being discovered?
"Thank you, Teacher." Lin Xiao bowed slightly. "But it's probably not easy to find this gang of robbers in such a huge city like Mingdu."

"Don't worry, Mingde Hall will cooperate with you, and the Holy Church will also be watching the underground market to see if anything similar appears." Sleeping Nightmare Douluo waved his hand, "If a master appears, your master will naturally lend a hand."

Give a helping hand?
As long as he doesn't hold others back, Lin Xiao will be very satisfied. He doesn't know whose restriction made him practice for nearly ten years before he could really find the use of his spiritual power.

Nightmare Douluo, unaware of Lin Xiao's thoughts, continued, "Afterwards, Mingde Hall will release information about a thorough investigation of evil soul masters. These bandits, having already benefited once, will naturally not give up. When the next batch of 'materials' arrives at Mingde Hall, they will likely make their move again." "Some people from the sect will come to help you. When that time comes, you can lead your men to ambush them, and you might reap considerable rewards."

Seeing that Sleepy Nightmare Douluo had arranged everything, Lin Xiao could only nod in agreement, and then slowly stood up in silence.

Turning his head slightly to look at the wall beside him, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

As a spiritual spirit master, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's martial spirit, Nightmare Demon, also possesses abilities similar to those of the mind and soul. Previously, when his cultivation level was lower, Lin Xiao had never been able to detect how Sleepy Nightmare Douluo appeared or left.

But now, his cultivation is getting higher and higher, and his mental strength, which is already superior to that of ordinary people, is also improving synchronously. After dealing with souls for so long, he finally felt a trace of the movement of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

The incorporeal martial spirit, the Nightmare Demon, is somewhat similar to a soul. Sleeping Nightmare Douluo can use the power of the Nightmare Demon to transform his body and pass through obstacles easily. Under the cover of his mental power, he can almost do it without anyone noticing, just like a real Nightmare Demon.

These walls and buildings were like nothing in the eyes of Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, and only the formations set up in the academy could detect his comings and goings.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Xiao vaguely sensed something was wrong. It turned out that Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was waiting for him here in advance.

He sat back on the bed with some concern, allowing the energy of heaven and earth to surge towards him, and then transform into soul power to flow through his meridians.

It was not until the sun's rays outside were no longer dazzling that Lin Xiao slowly woke up from his meditation.

With a flick of his wrist, the star-studded metal ingot was already in his hand. His mental power slowly extended out, and the moment it touched the metal, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

It's like a person who is under great resistance in the water suddenly comes into the air and feels lighter.

If the spreading of mental power in the air is like moving forward in water, then this piece of metal is an open space without any resistance. Not only can it allow the mental power to spread along it, but it is even like a space unique to the mental power where Lin Xiao's mental power can stay for a short time.

With a flash of his mind, a shadow peeled off from his body and silently sank into the metal ingot. At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

It was truly a coincidence. Without the locust wood core that could hold the soul, Shangguan Qing had helped him find these metals. Unexpectedly, after smelting them with other metals, these metals also had similar properties. And it seemed to have other uses...

Since you are from my hand, I should be able to give you a name.

Lin Xiao looked at the metal ingot in his hand, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed as if he had thought of something.

It is shaped like a star and can hold souls, so it might as well be called Star Soul Ingot.

The light outside gradually disappeared. Lin Xiao glanced at the sky, carefully put away the Star Soul Ingot, and got up to leave the dormitory.

No matter what, as a disciple who has undergone the spirit-raising ceremony, he still has to do his best to complete the tasks assigned by Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

Even though there was a weird feeling everywhere in this matter, even if it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, he had to go outside.

As for the result, perhaps he doesn't need to worry about it.
