The following is a private setting: The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect support the Tiandou Empire, and the Haotian Sect supports the Xingluo Empire.

There is no need to say much about the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect was mainly because the direct heir Yu Tianheng joined the Tiandou Royal Academy, and Yu Tianxin's Thunder Academy is also in the Tiandou Empire. The Haotian Sect was automatically assigned to balance the strength of the two empires.

Unless there is a super-powerful force that unifies the continent, it is impossible for the sect forces to remain immune in the war. Are there any book friends who want to be an operations officer? Welcome to apply. Finally, please recommend, collect, monthly vote, and follow up~

Chapter 84 Aftermath

After hearing what Ghost Douluo said, Gu You hesitated for a while but still refused. The reason he gave was the same as before, he didn't want to be constrained by the so-called teacher to restrain his creative thinking.

Although he was very excited about the huge library in the Spirit Hall, Gu You was still worried about Tang San and Xiao Wu.

After all, no one can guarantee that without Gu You, these two will not go to that no-name academy again and be poisoned in their thoughts for various reasons.

Although Ghost Douluo already knew from Mashunuo's letter that Gu You was very opinionated, it was still incredible to hear that Gu You could once again reject an invitation from a Titled Douluo to become the number one force on the continent.

Thinking of the Pope's instructions before departure (although it was not what he meant at all), Ghost Douluo could only suppress the thought of forcibly taking Gu You back and continue to be a "highly respected" senior.

After replying with a faint "Yeah", Ghost Douluo threw something at Gu You.

Gu You took it and saw that it was a bracelet. There was a huge "x" mark on both sides of the bracelet, and each of them had five spikes. The whole thing was silver and purple, which was very cool.

Seeing Gu You couldn't let go of it, Gui Mei sighed in his heart, "He's still a child," and explained, "This is a reward from the Spirit Hall. There is a Spirit Card inside, which is the reward for publishing your article."

"This bracelet is a storage soul guide, and it can adjust its size automatically as the user's body changes, so you don't have to worry about it being damaged after the martial spirit possesses you."

After hearing Ghost Douluo's words, Gu You directly put the bracelet on his wrist. As soon as he put it on, soul power automatically flowed in, and the bracelet shrank to a size suitable for a 7-year-old child.

Seeing that Ghost Douluo stopped talking and Gu You was just playing with his soul guide, Ma Xiunuo had to step forward to prevent the atmosphere from becoming weird.

"Master Ghost Douluo, we got a copy of that "book"."

As he spoke, Mashunuo took out an iron box from his soul guide, which was tied tightly with thick iron chains. He handed it to Ghost Douluo respectfully.

"Hmm?" Ghost Douluo looked at Gu You who noticed this. He didn't understand why Mashuno would talk about the Fallen when there were outsiders around.

Noticing Ghost Douluo's look, Mashunuo quickly explained: "Sir Ghost Douluo, this book was confiscated with the help of Gu You."

Then Mashouno told the story he had learned.

Following Mashuno's suggestion, Gu You and his friends set out to help their subordinates obtain the second soul ring, and then discovered the destroyed village on the way back. Later, when they went to seek support, they accidentally discovered the murderer's traces, and finally defeated the enemy with the unity and cooperation of a group of one-ring soul masters.

“………”Ghost Douluo was speechless. What was this? A story in a novel?

But he didn't say much. After all, Matthew No had just reported this, and it must have been a process that was finally restored after multi-faceted investigations.

The ghost grabbed the iron chain with his hands and squeezed it. The fine steel chain was easily broken like spaghetti. He pulled the padlock off and took out the evil book wrapped in several layers of cloth.

Gui Mei flipped through a few pages and closed the book. He looked into Gu You's curious eyes and asked seriously, "This is the book you handed in, right?"

After getting Gu You's affirmative answer, Ghost Douluo's expression became more serious, and his eyes met Gu You's. Gu You felt as if he saw the black energy flowing in his pupils.

“Have you ever read this book?”

After hearing what Ghost Douluo said, Gu You felt something was wrong, but he still answered seriously that he had read a few pages and then handed it over to the Spirit Hall.

The ghost's tense body relaxed slightly. Looking at the book in his hand, his dark soul power burst out and completely destroyed the book.

"This book comes from a fallen organization called the Holy Spirit Church. Only pure soul power above Soul King can destroy it. If you find someone holding this book in the future, you must notify us as quickly as possible."

"Holy Spirit Church?!" Gu You was shocked, but he was able to control his expression well this time.

"This book contains a method that can help a soul master's martial soul evolve, and it can also help a soul master break through the upper limit of his talent and gain even greater power."

"But correspondingly, there is a price to pay when gaining power."

After saying this, Guimei glanced at Matthew.

Mashuno understood, took out a stack of information, and said, "Xiaoyou, the fallen man you killed that day was named Shelidan, a noble from the nearby city of Nia."

"According to the records of the Nia City Spirit Hall, his spirit is called Shadow Bat, and he is a level 31 Agility Attack Spirit Master. The data shows that he broke through to the Soul Master realm only five months ago."

"Innate soul power is level 2, and his martial soul is suspected to have abilities related to shadows. People around him say that he is uneducated, idle, worships power but will not pursue it recklessly. He is a kind of gangster."

"But a month ago, no one had entered or left his house, and no one had heard that his family had any plans to go out. Two days later, the gardener who mowed the lawn once a week went in and found that everyone inside had died."

"The way he died was the same as the one you found in the village. All the blood in his body disappeared. Sheridan's body was not found at the scene, so we think he might have been corrupted."

"Corruption?" Gu You didn't understand. He already knew that the Fallen being mentioned now might be the predecessor of the evil soul master that appeared in Douluo Dalu 2, but he had no idea what corruption meant.

Hearing Gu You's question, Mashuno explained: "The so-called corruption means that due to some inducements, the darkest and most shameful side of an ordinary soul master's heart is revealed, which in turn affects the soul master's spirit and martial soul nature, and gains the ability of evil attributes."

"Just like this Sheridan, although he is not a good person, he is not someone who can do such a cruel thing."

"His inducement was that book."

Gu You's brows furrowed instantly, "There's something strange about that book."

Mashuno nodded. "That book, we call it The Book of Depravity here. Anyone who reads this book will be induced to bring out the darkest side of their heart."

"Xie Lidan was like this. The book induced him to disregard life and do whatever it takes for power, so he killed everyone in his family in order to gain power. The power he gained was the power of blood, and this power changed his martial soul from a shadow bat to a blood bat."

"Including the village you and Yun Tao found, we found the same traces in three villages in total. You reported that he claimed to have a soul power of level 35. It should be his family and the lives of everyone in the three villages that allowed him to reach that level."

When he heard that two other villages that were supposed to be peaceful were also destroyed, Gu You's eyes revealed sadness.

Noticing the sadness in Gu You's eyes, Guimei was completely relieved.

"You have a strong will," Gui Mei praised Gu You. "These books have a strange magic that will slowly change everything about a person as he reads them. You were able to control yourself and stop reading after only reading a few pages. This is very good."

After thinking about it, I decided to use the name of Holy Spirit Religion. Anyway, the original novel didn't say who the founder was. Holy Spirit Religion is evil, and the god of evil is Ji Dong. I understand. Holy Spirit Religion worships Ji Dong (just kidding). Please recommend, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket, please read it~

Chapter 85 Shadow

"These books? Are there many more of them?"

Gu You was shocked when he heard Ghost Douluo's words. If this one book could turn an ordinary soul master into a demon who kills people without blinking an eye, then if there were a hundred books, wouldn't it be a swarm of demons?

Mashuno looked at Gu You in surprise, but still explained: "It is indeed a lot, but not as many as you think. I have worked here for decades and have only dealt with it twice."

Feeling that Gu You's expression had not improved, Mashuno continued to comfort him: "You don't have to be so nervous. People like Sheridan are actually very rare. Most of the fallen will be easily discovered and dealt with by us because they are overwhelmed by power."

Guimei thought about it, took out a token from his body and threw it to Gu You.

"?"

"This is a reward for your assistance in helping the Spirit Hall capture a dangerous Fallen."

Gu You took a closer look and saw a big word "ghost" on it, and behind it was a pattern of a hammer, a chrysanthemum and a sword from the Spirit Hall.

"If you find traces of the Fallen in the future, don't fight alone. Take this token to the Spirit Hall to seek help."

After saying this, Guimei felt that he had fulfilled his duty to remind Gu You. If Gu You still took the risk, then it would be his fate.

He waved his hand and let Gu You leave.

Gu You bowed deeply, thanked Ghost Douluo, and slowly backed out of the room.

At the same time, in a corner of the continent, underground.

“What is the quality of this year’s newcomers?”

"Not so good. Only twenty-three came. The others were dealt with by the Spirit Hall."

"I found a good candidate, but unfortunately he was not very smart. He thought he was invincible after awakening and started killing people. He was killed by the Spirit Hall just after killing half of the people in the city."

"The qualifications I found are pretty good. I killed five villages and reached level 40. I have been guided back."

A group of people in black robes were on a high platform, discussing various anti-human topics in low voices. However, their tones were either calm or excited, and there was no trace of regret or sorrow.

Below the high platform, there were densely packed men and women kneeling.

These people were dressed in rags, their skin was covered with wounds, and their complexion was pale, as if they had not seen the sun for years. Everyone had a cloth covering their eyes, some of which had two black blood scabs where their eyes were, and some even had bright red tears of blood flowing from the corners of their eyes.

Everyone gathered around the platform, singing the "hymn" loudly facing the place where the man in black robe was. If a normal person heard it, he would have nightmares for a week, but the people on the platform were used to it, and some even showed expressions of enjoyment.

"My compatriots, how are you these days?"

Suddenly, a strange sound was heard, and a hunched figure appeared in the center of the platform.

Everyone turned their heads, then immediately knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and said in unison: "Welcome, Master."

"Hahaha, my compatriots, there is no need to be so polite." The voice sounded like a mixture of a weathered old man, a sturdy young man, a charming woman and an ignorant child. Just listening to it made people feel uncomfortable.

"How many compatriots have successfully awakened this year?"

“Master Leader, our Holy Spirit Church has grown stronger this year. Under the guidance of our God, ninety-three people have successfully awakened, twenty-three have been successfully guided back, and the rest have been taken to the Spirit Hall…” A sturdy man answered with his head down.

"Very good, my left arm, very good." The hunched leader nodded with satisfaction, "Only when more people become awakened can we save this world!"

As the voices became more passionate, the singing from below the stage also became louder and louder.

The soul power in the leader's hand burst into light, and a book appeared in his hand.

If Gu You were here, he would be surprised to find that this book is exactly the same as the one just destroyed by Ghost Douluo, except that this book is more exquisite and brings far more discomfort.

The book opened automatically, and as the pages turned, the leader held the book in both hands and slowly raised it up.

"Great God!" the leader shouted. His voice could not be covered by even the loud hymns, and even the farthest singer could hear it clearly.

"Please have mercy on us and use your supreme power to awaken these sleeping lambs!"

The book shone brightly. If I really had to use an adjective, it would be the so-called blinding black light. Countless pages flew out from the middle of the book, and each page turned into a complete book as it flew in the air and fell to the ground.

The black-robed man with his head down did not dare to make any sound even if he was hit by a book, for fear of disturbing the leader's speech.

When the light faded, the book closed and slowly flew back to the leader's hand. At this time, the ground was full of the same kind of books that Gu You had seen before, and even the covers were the same uncomfortable wailing human faces.

An eerie silence permeated the platform, with only the sound of hymns still ringing loudly.

"Go, fellow countrymen. Bring the gospel of God and use this Book of Awakening to awaken more lambs."

"Awake from the false order and spread true chaos. Let the will to freedom awaken in all people."

“When that time comes, the glorious false god will fall into the mortal world. And we will follow our god to the land of infinite freedom.”

"Desire, blood, struggle, killing, our ideals, our desires, our sad wishes, will surely be realized here."

The kneeling black-robed man lowered his head even deeper, "Yes, Master. We will definitely achieve the ultimate goal of the Holy Spirit Church under your leadership."

On the other side, the Star Forest.

Xiao Wu walked alone in the forest, feeling relaxed and happy as if she was on a picnic.

An aura that could only be sensed by soul beasts or Titled Douluo-level humans, the aura belonging only to a hundred thousand year soul beast, was released, and many soul beasts fled.
