Evil Soul Master

Xu Jie did not speak immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the blonde woman. In his perception, at the instant he summoned his martial soul, something on it seemed to have been drawn by the blonde woman. At that same instant, the blonde woman's martial soul had changed from two wings to six.

The moment had been extremely brief. Aside from Xu Jie and the blonde woman herself sensing something unusual, no one else had noticed anything.

"Sir, this is all a misunderstanding." The burly man who had seen the soul rings on Xu Jie's body had completely lost his former arrogance. His voice was filled with fear. A Soul Master whose second soul ring was already a thousand-year ring was undoubtedly a key trainee of Shrek Academy. People like that were not someone they could afford to provoke.

What was more, with the other party's strength as a Soul Elder, they were no match for him.

"Uh, you?" Xu Jie ignored the man and looked at the blonde woman. He still did not know how to address her.

"My name is Qian Qin." There was confusion in the blonde woman's eyes, and Xu Jie's help had made her somewhat afraid.

"Mm, Aunt Qian, how do you think he should be handled?" Upon hearing that, Xu Jie thought to himself, Her surname is Qian. So she really is Qian Renxue's descendant. Logically speaking, a descendant of the Qian family with a Six-Winged Angel martial soul should not have fallen to such a state, even without the Angel God's inheritance.

Xu Jie guessed that the Qian family's descendants ending up like this was definitely related to their martial souls having lost four wings.

"I don't want to see him ever again." Qian Qin's face was filled with resentment.

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. He felt no sympathy for that man. There was no need to guess—he was definitely scum. Otherwise, Qian Qin would not have failed to stop Xu Jie and Dugu Lu when they acted earlier.

"You understand, right?" Xu Jie turned to the burly men and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the several burly men immediately picked up the man from the ground and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Xu Jie spoke again, and the men instantly stopped. The leader immediately bowed and scraped. "Sir, is there anything else?"

"From now on, he has nothing to do with her or them anymore." Xu Jie pointed at the unconscious man as he spoke.

"Of course." The man immediately replied. "By the way, sir, is there anything else?"

Xu Jie shook his head. "No."

The burly men immediately carried the unconscious man away at a brisk pace.

After the burly men left, Huo Yuhao crouched down and touched the child's head in Qian Qin's arms. Qian Qin held the child protectively, but she did not stop Huo Yuhao. Nearby, Xu Jie and Dugu Lu were considering how to deal with the mother and son. At the same time, an aged voice rang out in both Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao's minds.

"Follow those people. They carry Death Aura. Oh, right, my name is Electrolux. You should have heard about me from Yuhao." The latter half of Electrolux's words was clearly directed at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was startled. Unlike before, he did not hurriedly use his martial soul to cut off Electrolux's mental communication. A few days ago, he had already confirmed that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm possessing Huo Yuhao could not see Xu Jie's memories at all.

According to that giant grub's analysis, there seemed to be something special in Xu Jie's sea of consciousness that directly blocked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's spiritual power. If it could block the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, then it could block Electrolux as well.

Besides, when Electrolux entered Huo Yuhao's mind, he did not seem to have copied Huo Yuhao's memories like the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had. At least, in the limited memories Xu Jie had of the original story, Electrolux had never done such a thing.

Upon hearing about Death Aura, Xu Jie naturally understood that in the Douluo World, it referred to the aura carried by the group known as Evil Soul Masters. He looked in the direction the burly men had left without saying anything.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was somewhat bewildered. He asked in his mind what Death Aura meant, but unfortunately, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was not awake, and Electrolux remained silent. No one could answer Huo Yuhao's question.

"Yuhao, are they still within the range of your Spiritual Detection?" Xu Jie looked at Huo Yuhao.

"They are." Specks of white fluorescence flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He nodded, confirming that those people had not yet left the range of his Spiritual Detection.

"Lu, I suspect they're Evil Soul Masters. I sensed the aura of Evil Soul Masters on them." After Huo Yuhao nodded, Xu Jie lowered his head and whispered into Dugu Lu's ear.

"What?!" Dugu Lu blurted out.

"Quiet. Find a way to notify the academy first. Yuhao and I will follow them and take a look." Xu Jie quickly covered Dugu Lu's mouth and whispered again.

"No, it's too dangerous." As the eldest grandson of the Dugu Family, he naturally understood the danger of Evil Soul Masters. He had also experienced clashes with them. Although his second uncle had easily killed those Evil Soul Masters, the violent aura they carried had always frightened him. He immediately tried to stop Xu Jie.

"It's fine. You know the range of Yuhao's Spiritual Detection. We'll just follow them from far away, so don't worry." Before Dugu Lu could refuse, Xu Jie pointed at Qian Qin, who had already recalled her martial soul. "I just recognized her as my long-lost second aunt. Help me settle her down first."

After saying that, he rushed off with Huo Yuhao before Dugu Lu could react.

Dugu Lu was just about to chase after them when he caught sight of Qian Qin and her child from the corner of his eye. Helplessly, he stopped and cursed in the direction Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao had gone.

"Damn it, Xu Jie. I must have owed you in a past life."

Xu Jie, who had already crossed two streets, naturally did not hear Dugu Lu's voice. The two of them continued forward in silence. With Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection, they were not afraid of losing their targets.

"Brother Jie." Halfway there, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped and pointed toward a corner of the street.

Xu Jie looked over and discovered that the man whose leg he had broken earlier was now lying in the corner.

Slap!

Xu Jie did not hold back. He walked over and gave the man a resounding slap across the face. Mm, he had not woken up. Just as Xu Jie was about to slap him again, Huo Yuhao spoke once more.

His voice trembled, and Xu Jie could clearly feel Huo Yuhao's anger.

"Brother Jie, look at this." Huo Yuhao handed over a sheet of white paper. Xu Jie took it and saw that it was a deed of sale. Its contents were roughly as follows.

The man named Si Guang had sold his wife, Qian Qin, for twenty Gold Soul Coins and his child, Si Ran, for ten Gold Soul Coins to a man named Chen Ming.

After reading the paper, Xu Jie's face darkened. He channeled Soul Power into his palm and slapped the man again, saying the words, "Pay up," at the same time.

Si Guang woke up with a start. As if by reflex, he immediately hugged his head. "Don't hit me! I already sold my wife and child. Now that I have some capital, give me some time and I'll be able to pay you back."

"Phew."

Xu Jie let out a deep breath. It was exactly as he had guessed—another hopeless gambler. Whether in his life before last or his previous life, what he hated most were hopeless gamblers.

He kicked Si Guang's other intact leg.

Crack. The sound rang out again, and Si Guang immediately screamed.

"Ahhh!"

Xu Jie struck Si Guang in the head with a heavy blow, and the scream came to an abrupt stop.
