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

"The academy won't force you to lead students, nor will it ask you to do anything. We just hope you can stay in Mingde Hall."

If Lin Xiao only knew the location of some mineral veins, it might just be luck, but the idea of ​​smelting metal made Jing Hongchen see other values ​​of Lin Xiao.

He saw more possibilities in Lin Xiao. Even if Lin Xiao never produced any valuable soul guides again, it would still be a sure win for Jing Hongchen.

For soul guides, inspiration is sometimes more important than strength, not to mention inspiration that can drive the development of all soul guides.

Even if Lin Xiao had another identity, Jing Hongchen was willing to keep him in Mingde Hall.

Lin Xiao hadn't responded yet, but Lin Jiayi's expression changed. "Lin Xiao, you may not know yet, but those who can stay in the academy and become researchers can apply for a noble title from the royal family."

"And you're still so young. The last person to be treated like you was only Teacher Xuan Ziwenxuan."

Lin Xiao glanced at Lin Jiayi, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Chapter 228 Old Love

"Ouch——"

Deep in the Jingyang Mountains, a wolf howl was heard from afar. Old Song slightly revealed the aura of a Super Douluo, and the auras of those soul beasts instantly disappeared in the distance.

With a light sigh, Old Song stood up and looked around, as if he was looking for someone.

Soon, her eyes flashed slightly, and she took two steps forward. A man appeared in front of her and lifted his cloak. It was Yan Shaozhe who had hidden here with her.

"Shaozhe, what's the situation outside?"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head upon hearing this. "For some reason, the Sun-Moon Empire's reaction is even greater than we expected. I looked from afar and saw that there are already troops stationed outside."

"Also, there are some soul power fluctuations in the air. I can't recognize them, but they should be soul guides to defend against aerial attacks."

Elder Song sighed softly upon hearing this, "So, if we want to leave here, we have to force our way out?"

Yan Shaozhe nodded, "It can only be done this way."

"The Sun-Moon Empire has been on the verge of making a move in recent years. If we engage in a head-on conflict with their army, I'm afraid it will give them an excuse."

Yan Shaozhe also sighed, "Moreover, those inner court disciples received our news and entered Mingdu. Now we don't know what the situation is like. Will they be in trouble?"

Elder Song took a few steps back and forth. "And looking at those evil soul masters, I'm afraid the things behind them are even more complicated..."

As Old Song was speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Zhang Lexuan who was sitting beside him. She was sitting there with her knees hugged, her eyes slightly blank, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

"We were the only two people who showed up the night before last, and we're the only ones Mingdu is wary of. Why not let Le Xuan go into the city and bring out the other inner court disciples? People outside haven't seen Le Xuan, so they probably won't make things difficult for her."

Yan Shaozhe frowned worriedly, but still nodded, "This is the only way."

"Le Xuan." Old Song called out, but Zhang Le Xuan did not respond.

In fact, Zhang Lexuan didn’t know what she was thinking.

As far as she could remember, there was only one thing she had to do every day, and that was to practice.

Ever since something happened at home and Moon helped her get revenge, the only thing she wanted to do was to become the most outstanding disciple in Shrek Academy.

Practice, participate in competitions, practice, carry out tasks, practice, day after day, year after year, until one day you become someone's wife.

Her life seemed to be coming to an end.

But since when did it seem like there was an extra figure in her heart?

It was probably that night many years ago. Although the man was wearing a mask, she could tell that he was not very old. Single-handedly, he was able to wipe out an entire evil spirit master stronghold.

Talented, unrestrained, punishing evil and promoting good. If nothing happened in her family, perhaps she would do what she wanted to do just like him.

The next time they met was when I was on a mission, and after that, he saved me from the mouth of a gold-eating beast.

Although he had taken off his mask by then, she could still recognize those bright eyes.

Therefore, when she later heard him seriously introducing himself to Fan Yu as someone from the Tianhun Empire, she would smile in her heart.

The next time they met was in the Star Dou Great Forest. Both times they escaped from the mouths of hundred thousand year old soul beasts.

As the most talented disciple of Shrek Academy and their senior sister, it seemed natural for her to protect the other students.

Even though at that time, she didn't know if she could survive the mouth of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and even though she felt fear...

When that man appeared before her again and saved her as he had done in the past, she seemed to have forgotten everything else, including Shrek Academy and her helplessness.

After a long talk all night, she felt that he was as lonely as herself, a loneliness without any relatives.

but……

Zhang Lexuan lowered her head slightly and buried it between her arms.

That person was not the chivalrous and unrestrained "young hero" she had imagined, and he was even her enemy.

But, she couldn't hate him in her heart.

I thought that as time passed, the figure would gradually disappear, but I never expected it to become deeper and deeper.

"Le Xuan——"

Another call was heard, and Zhang Lexuan raised her head and saw Old Song and Yan Shaozhe standing in front of her.

"Mr. Song, Dean Yan." Zhang Lexuan stood up hurriedly.

Seeing this, Elder Song frowned slightly, "Le Xuan, is there something wrong with your practice? I think your breathing seems a little unstable."

"No." Zhang Lexuan shook her head, suppressing the thoughts in her mind, "I just didn't get enough rest."

"Alas." Elder Song sighed softly upon hearing this. "It was my fault for not judging the strength of those evil spirit masters, causing you to suffer with us."

"Well, Shaozhe and I just discussed it. The people blocking the way outside won't make things difficult for you. You should leave here first and go to Mingdu to take those inner court disciples back to the academy first."

"Shaozhe and I have determined that the power of those evil soul masters is far more than what we see. We must report this to Elder Mu, and we must also make changes to our future actions."

Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Elder Song's expression brightened. "After you return this time, you should take a good rest for a while. I'm afraid that the things that will happen next will not be handled by those below the level of Titled Douluo..."

Old Song's judgment was not wrong, but he underestimated the strength of the Holy Spirit Church. Even a Titled Douluo would probably find it difficult to destroy the Holy Spirit Church's stronghold as before.

When Lin Xiao received the news and went to the base of the underground arena again, he met a person who was not common in the Holy Spirit Sect, the 97th level Super Douluo and the deputy leader Feng Ling.

In a relatively intact room, Feng Ling was sitting in the main seat, and Ma Xiaotao, who was wearing a red dress, was standing beside her. She was also brought here by Feng Ling.

Nangong Wan and the third elder Minglei Douluo stood on both sides of him. Nangong Wan kept his head down and dared not raise it. On the other side, Minglei Douluo was glaring at him.

"Okay, Lao Ba is here too. Let's talk about what happened that night." Feng Ling spoke with a hint of coldness in her tone.

"The deputy leader is Nangong Wan. If he hadn't fled from the battlefield, how could the fourth brother have died at his hands?"

As soon as Minglei Douluo opened his mouth, he couldn't suppress his anger.

Even among the elders of the Holy Spirit Sect, there are different levels of closeness in their relationships. For example, when Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was still alive, he had a good relationship with Ten Thousand Souls Douluo.

The relationship between Minglei Douluo and Youming Douluo is also quite harmonious, but after what happened before, the relationship between him and Nangong Wan will probably never be the same again.

"Alright!" Feng Ling said softly, "From now on, I will personally take charge of the affairs of Mingdu. I will handle these matters myself."

"Just tell me, is the person you met Yan Shaozhe?"

Chapter 229 Reconstruction

Feng Ling said this, her eyes falling on Minglei Douluo.

"It's him." Minglei Douluo withdrew his gaze from Nangong Wan. "Although he concealed it, I can feel the powerful force of light contained in that power."

"The people from Shrek Academy destroyed our strongholds everywhere. They were able to find such masters all the way to Mingdu. They must be from Shrek Academy. The only person with such cultivation and attributes is Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaozhe."

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes when she heard that, and turned to look at Ma Xiaotao beside her, but she didn't react much after hearing the name Yan Shaozhe.

Turning back, Feng Ling finally spoke in a low voice, "Okay, where did he escape to?"

Lin Xiao didn't hear much emotional fluctuation in Feng Ling's tone.

No matter the love or hate in the past, it is all in the past for Feng Ling now. What she wants now is to completely devour the power of Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix to help her go further.

Perhaps there are some personal grudges involved, but judging by her performance at the moment, there shouldn't be too many.

"I don't have time to send anyone to find out the exact location, but the people from the Sun-Moon Empire have blocked the Jingyang Mountains, so they should be nearby."

Feng Ling nodded slightly after hearing what Minglei Douluo said, and leaned back a little. "If he had been hiding in Shrek Academy, it would be fine. But since he came to my door personally, I must go and meet him."

"Deputy Sect Leader, there's another expert next to Yan Shaozhe. I think her cultivation is not inferior to yours. She defeated the fourth one with one strike..."

Nangong Wan on the side spoke hesitantly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Minglei Douluo stared at him fiercely.

Feng Ling also glanced at Nangong Wan.

"No rush. You already told me about this when you returned to headquarters to ask for help. I naturally won't put myself in danger."

"After entering Mingdu this time, Xu Tianran suddenly sent me a message, saying that he wanted me to come to the palace to discuss something."

"I don't believe that the commotion caused by the Shrek Academy people entering Mingdu won't cause them to take action. With the Sun-Moon Empire's masters accompanying us, this trip will be worry-free."

Lin Xiao, who was listening at the side, suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Deputy Master."

"What's the matter?" Feng Ling looked at Lin Xiao when she heard that.

"Yesterday, Mingde Hall was attacked by an unknown force. After returning, Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen also hurried to the palace. Perhaps your trip is related to this incident."

The news of the attack on Mingde Hall cannot be concealed. As long as Feng Ling enters the palace and sees Xu Tianran, she will naturally know the whole story. It is better to tell it actively to boost Feng Ling's "loyalty".

"How could such a thing happen?" Feng Ling frowned slightly, "Could it be that Shrek Academy did this too?"

Feng Ling pondered for a moment but to no avail. Suddenly, she stood up and said, "Well, in that case, I'll go to the palace first. But the business in Mingdu cannot be stopped. This stronghold..."

Feng Ling said, her eyes swept over the people in front of her. Nether Thunder Douluo suddenly stood up and said, "Deputy Sect Leader, let Lao Ba and I handle this stronghold."

"Third brother, what do you mean?" Nangong Wan at the side no longer had the same expression as before, and his voice suddenly became higher?

According to the regulations of the Holy Spirit Church, this stronghold was previously under the charge of Nangong Wan, and all the income was naturally counted on Nangong Wan's head. Now that Minglei Douluo wanted to take a considerable amount of income from him as soon as he opened his mouth, he naturally couldn't remain silent.

"Hmph, what do I mean?" Minglei Douluo sneered and looked Nangong Wan up and down. "I'm afraid that if we encounter danger here again, I will die for you, Second Elder, like the Fourth Elder did."

"You—" Nangong Wan was choked by Minglei Douluo's sarcastic tone, "Shrek Academy has already noticed this place. With the strength of you and Lao Ba, how can you defend this stronghold?"

"Hmph, without you, even if the stronghold could not be defended, at least no one would die in vain." Minglei Douluo refused to give in.

"I--"
