Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

"Perhaps."

Knowing it was impossible—that he himself would be the final sacrifice before the girl became a god—Lu Cheng remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said in a normal tone, "Let's go, don't waste time."

"Mmm!!" Ye Guyi's eyes lit up.

At this moment, she finally found the motivation to become stronger.

To become a god, and then be with your master forever, ascend to the upper realm, and become husband and wife...

Looking at the girl's expectant expression, Lu Cheng felt a pang of reluctance for some reason. Clearly, this was all just a simulation, and everything he had done was for the generous rewards in the real world, but…

"call……"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lu Cheng's expression became even calmer. He shook the last trace of pity from his mind, placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, and the two of them instantly disappeared from the spot.

……

A silent, dark night.

In a small town near Mingdu.

Several men and women clad in long, jet-black robes, exuding a chilling and evil aura, stood in the center of the arena. Around them were ordinary civilians kneeling, men, women, and children trembling. Occasionally, someone would forcefully raise their head, glance at what lay ahead, and then be so frightened that they would bang their heads on the ground again, too afraid to move.

The bloody scene almost made many people vomit their dinner from the night before.

These guys are evil spirit masters, that goes without saying.

But the most terrifying thing is collusion. In the original continent, evil spirit masters are the common enemy of the continent. No force dares to protect them. If a village is massacred or an evil spirit master commits murder, the empire to which the master belongs has the reason and the obligation to take action.

But the Sun and Moon Empire is different, especially the cities near Mingdu.

Evil spirit masters ran rampant, yet no one dared to speak out.

After all, the higher-ups are a den of scoundrels, and even if you report it, the Sun Moon Empire's officials won't pay any attention.

This led to unbearable suffering for ordinary people. Nana's parents in the original work are an example. Nana was controlled and even dared not seek help from the Sun Moon Empire's officials when she asked Huo Yuhao for help. This shows how dark the Sun Moon Empire was under the old emperor's rule.

"This is the consequence of daring to deceive us." The leader, a man in black robes, tilted his chin up, indifferently looking down at the crowd of commoners. "We agreed on ten sacrifices; if one is missing, we'll bring ten more to replace it..."

They also had to pay tribute to the big boss in the Demon Forest, which was considered as paying "rent" to the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters. This rent was the souls of ordinary people or soul beasts.

Therefore, every month, this offering is "collected" from towns near the various branch altars.

"My lord, we will never dare to do it again..."

A fat man dressed in rich clothes, who looked like a city lord, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

"Today, we will take away ten more offerings as a slight punishment. If you dare to do it again, then we will take a hundred, a thousand! Until your Nord City is completely empty."

The leader, dressed in black, sneered.

Having said that, he opened his palm and made a claw shape with it towards the crowd. Streams of blood-red light surged from his palm, rushing towards the crowd like blood-red tentacles, sweeping over ten figures, and then suddenly retreated.

Most of them were young adults, and the wives and children of those chosen all looked desperate.

But the next moment.

"Pfft~"

The black-robed man at the head of the group froze for a moment, then screamed madly. The blood-red tentacles on his palms snapped off in an instant, as if cleanly severed by sword energy, leaving no trace.

"who?!!"

The other black-robed men, who had been looking lazy, suddenly became alert. Anyone who could severely injure the Six Holy Spirits with a single blow was certainly no ordinary person.

Could it be that he has been too arrogant lately, incurring the displeasure of the Sun and Moon Royal Family?

"A bunch of scum."

A clear, melodious voice, like the tinkling of silver bells, rang out. One could clearly tell it belonged to a beautiful woman, but her tone was filled with coldness.

"there!"

A follower of the Holy Spirit Church, looking flustered, pointed to a rooftop.

At that moment, countless civilians also looked up in astonishment at their "savior," a young woman dressed in a jet-black outfit, holding a crimson longsword, and whose face appeared to be no more than twenty years old.

The rest of the impression is beauty, absolute beauty...

Like an angel, exquisite and flawless, beautiful and charming.

"Who goes there, daring to attack my Holy Spirit Cult!" The six Holy Spirits were furious and gloomy. They had been ambushed and seriously injured by a little girl. Where would they put their faces when they returned?

"The rest of you, move! Grab her and take her back. It's been a long time since I've had a taste of this tender young girl..."

The remaining Holy Spirit Cult disciples instantly dispersed, surrounding Ye Guyi and blocking all escape routes.

"Heh, a bunch of sewer rats, when did they dare to show up so openly?" Ye Guyi sneered, holding his sword, his crimson wings unfurling behind him. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the air.

"Purifying Lotus Flower!"

The longsword in her hand seemed to come alive as the girl weaved among the many disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult. Her combat power, derived from the Soul Emperor, already made her overwhelming the evil soul masters. In addition, the attribute restraint of the Seraphim Martial Soul made her even more at ease.

"No... Angelic Martial Soul! Damn it..."

The black-robed man's expression changed drastically. He was confident that he could fight to a draw against any ordinary martial spirit, even if the martial spirit was a whole level higher than him, or at the very least, retreat.

But it is precisely the Angelic Martial Soul that is the ultimate nemesis of Evil Soul Masters.

"Those who defy me, accept your judgment!"

Ye Guyi raised her long sword high. Her hatred for the evil soul master made her unwilling to end the fight easily. Even at the risk of exposing her own trump card, she used her sixth soul skill.

The jet-black spirit ring lit up.

The Six Holy Spirits looked terrified, as if molten lava was bubbling beneath their feet, and their bodies were unconsciously sinking into it. The scorching holy fire burned their bodies, and they would die in the agonizing judgment.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"..."

A piercing roar echoed throughout the night sky.

Lu Cheng watched quietly from behind, neither making a move nor offering any criticism. Ye Guyi announced the angel's name, and countless residents were filled with gratitude. At that moment, in his eyes, points of light suddenly shone from the girl's body, dazzling and radiant.

Faint points of light emanated from countless residents and converged on him.

"Tsk..."

Lu Cheng smiled and clicked his tongue lightly.

As expected of an angelic martial soul, it was born for faith. Of course, it's also possible that the angel god was shattered, causing a void in the faith that originally belonged to the angel god in this world, so any angel can absorb the power of faith.

All in all, the girl's first debut was a success.

"master!"

When Ye Guyi saw Lu Cheng, her eyes revealed a hint of joy and an urge to share it.

Lu Cheng said calmly, "Next location: a branch altar of the Holy Spirit Cult in this city."

"Yes!"

Ye Guyi nodded vigorously.

"This should be it..."

Lu Cheng held the map, which was marked with dark clouds.

In terms of power distribution, there are six Holy Spirits, the strongest of whom is at the Soul Saint realm, the other four are Soul Kings, and one is a Soul Emperor.

That's enough for Leaf Bone Robe to gain experience.

To be honest, if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to find the various branches of the Holy Spirit Cult so easily, since their presence is quite well hidden.

But who can blame him when Lu Cheng is one of the three patrons of the Holy Spirit Cult?

It's like having an internal roster and going door-to-door to collect debts.

As for Zhongli Wu, Ye Xishui, and the like... they'll have to wait a bit longer.

But though it may be late, it will surely arrive.

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Sect Leader Zhongli, I hope you will like this gift."

As Ye Guyi burst through the door, Lu Cheng sat on the roof of a small house, quietly gazing at the night sky. Below, screams of agony, crashes, and shattering sounds echoed intermittently, gradually fading until Ye Guyi, covered in blood, landed behind him in a single leap, bowing slightly, her golden eyes filled with a sharp edge: "Master..."

"Is everything resolved?" Lu Cheng asked softly.

"Yes," Ye Guyi nodded solemnly.

With her abilities, dealing with these guys wouldn't be difficult at all.

Even though that Soul Saint possessed a Martial Soul True Body, he was completely restrained by her Seraphim Martial Soul, utterly powerless to resist, until a single sword severed his neck, separating his body from his head.

As for the rest, they were nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs, utterly vulnerable.

"Hahahaha..." Lu Cheng suddenly laughed, stood up leisurely, looked around at the mess in the courtyard, raised his finger, and gently pointed at the head of the Soul Saint.

The head exploded instantly, splattering blood everywhere.

At the same time, a crimson shadow slipped out of the explosion.

However, with a soft hum from Lu Cheng and a gentle clench of his palm, the shadow appeared in Lu Cheng's palm, struggling frantically but to no avail.

"I'll teach you another lesson. These guys have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. If you're not careful, you'll fall into their trap and get fooled."

"..."

Lu Cheng smiled and spoke.

Faced with his abnormally powerful mental strength, all secrets vanished.

P.S.: Tomorrow's daily quotation is 10,000 words. If I miss even one word, I'll send a 1 RMB red envelope in the group. Damn it, please give me a good whack.

Chapter 152 Four Years, Ye Guyi's Changes, and the Angel God's Secret (4k)

"Who are you?!"

The Great Holy Spirit within the Holy Spirit Cult's branch altar had his bloodshot eyes wide open. He was now a soul, completely imprisoned in Lu Cheng's palm. Even with all his might, he could not break free. Moreover, his most secret method of self-preservation was seen through by this young man at a glance, as if his secret had nowhere to hide in front of him.

However, as a Soul Saint and a Great Saint within a branch altar, this move would likely deceive even a Title Douluo-level expert.

Who exactly is this unbelievably handsome young man?
