Criminal List, Zhao Wuji's Criminal Record

After Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and Dugu Yan boarded the carriage, Lin Shuai immediately drove it out of Spirit City.

Dugu Bo and Ghost Leopard Douluo exchanged a glance in the shadows before following after them.

Lin Shuai asked, "Young Clan Leader, where are we going first?"

"We'll head south along the western side, make half a circuit through the Star Luo Empire, then travel north along the eastern side into the Heaven Dou Empire. After making another half circuit, we'll finally return to Spirit City." That was Lin Yu's current route plan.

"Got it! Hyah!"

Full of enthusiasm, Lin Shuai drove the carriage onward.

Lin Yu began examining the lists of criminals. Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan, seated on either side of him, curiously leaned over to look as well.

Every list contained the criminal's appearance, name, approximate age, martial soul, cultivation level, background, and criminal record.

The crimes varied in severity. The serious ones included massacring villages, slaughtering entire families, being a serial killer, and murdering people everywhere.

But what enraged Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan the most were criminals like this.

One record stated that someone had violated and forcibly imprisoned over a hundred unmarried young women.

"This is outrageous! That scum who defiled more than a hundred women has actually remained at large for seven years without receiving the punishment he deserves!" Qian Renxue clenched her fists in fury. "Lin Yu, make this flower thief our top priority. Kill him!"

Lin Yu glanced at the man's information.

Wang Ba, level 63 seven years ago. Martial soul: Black Demon Bear. Assault Type soul master.

Lin Yu nodded. "Alright. Have people focus on finding Wang Ba."

Most of the people on these criminal lists had been in hiding for more than five years. They had long since changed their names and identities to continue living their lives.

It would be difficult to find them all, so Lin Yu had to select certain targets beforehand and have Spirit Hall devote its greatest manpower and effort to locating them.

He continued flipping through the pages and soon saw a familiar face.

"Oh? This person is..."

Zhao Wuji. Martial soul: Great Strength Vajra Bear. Level 69 Assault Type Soul Emperor.

Criminal record: Seven years ago, after becoming drunk, he acted on impulse and failed to restrain himself, forcibly defiling the eldest daughter of a soul master family. He was consequently hunted by that family, but they were too weak, and Zhao Wuji ultimately killed them all.

That soul master family had more than fifty members. In the end, fewer than ten old, young, sick, and disabled survivors remained.

Not long afterward, Zhao Wuji injured the younger cousin of Titan, the Strength Clan's clan leader. He also caused plenty of trouble in the soul master world and was a notorious troublemaking demon, with an infamous reputation.

A year later, Zhao Wuji even offended Spirit Hall and was pursued by sixteen Soul Emperor bishops of Spirit Hall.

Unfortunately, the encirclement failed. Zhao Wuji fought sixteen Soul Emperors alone and eventually broke through their encirclement and escaped.

From then on, Zhao Wuji, known as the Immovable Bright King, became famous in a single battle and gained renown throughout the soul master world. But he also vanished from the soul master world afterward, with no one knowing where he had gone.

"So, aside from Oscar, there wasn't a single decent man in Shrek Academy, was there?"

How could someone infamous in the soul master world as a troublemaking demon possibly have never done any shameful evil deeds?

After learning of Zhao Wuji's past, Lin Yu could not help shaking his head in deep contempt.

He also felt the coldness of this world. No matter what bad things someone had done in the past, as long as they vanished for ten years or so, they could still reinvent themselves and resume a glamorous life.

After putting away the lists and deciding on the primary targets, Lin Yu would have the Martial Soul Branch Hall send word to Qian Daoliu once they reached the first city.

For now, he only needed to travel the continent while waiting for news.

At the same time, he had to break through level 40 as soon as possible.

Without reaching the Soul Ancestor realm, it would still be difficult for Lin Yu to kill a Soul Emperor alone.

"Then, Sister Xue'er, Dugu Yan, our journey begins now!"

"Mm! Let's go!"

The three exchanged smiles.

The carriage gradually traveled farther away from Spirit City.

Their first stop was a border city of a kingdom located in the west of the continent, under the Star Luo Empire.

Their route would cross two major kingdoms before entering Star Luo Empire territory. They would then set out from the northeast of the Star Luo Empire, cross two more major kingdoms, and finally enter the sphere of influence of the Heaven Dou Empire.

For the next stretch of time, they cultivated in the carriage while traveling.

Whenever they arrived at a city, they went to the local Martial Soul Branch Hall and proactively asked whether it had any difficult cases it could not resolve. Lin Yu and the others would help handle them.

After dealing with the branch hall's affairs in that city, they immediately headed to the Martial Soul Branch Hall in the next city and continued helping punish evil and eliminate wrongdoing.

Then they moved on to the next city.

They maintained this rhythm: travel, reach the next city, solve its problems, then continue traveling.

They hardly wasted any time during the journey.

Before they knew it, five months had passed.

In just five short months, the growth in their life experience seemed greater than what they might have gained in several years. Along the way, they encountered all kinds of events and adventures.

They dealt with soul beasts that had mistakenly entered the human world to cause trouble, killed evil soul masters, suppressed and eliminated local nobles and officials who oppressed the common people.

They even cleaned house, crippling the rotten apples within certain Martial Soul Branch Halls who likewise bullied others by abusing their power.

Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and Dugu Yan had all undergone noticeable growth in their mindsets.

They had all killed before!

More than ten lives had even died at Lin Yu's hands.

Five months later, Lin Yu had reached the age of eight years and four months.

His Soul Power had also reached level 39. At most, he would break through to level 40 in about another month.

They had long since crossed the two great kingdoms and entered territory truly governed by the Star Luo Empire.

After entering the Star Luo Empire, public security was clearly much better. There were not many matters for them to help handle at the branch halls in various places, so their journey naturally sped up considerably.

Their next stop was the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

Dugu Yan said somewhat worriedly, "Lin Yu, Renxue, are we really going to Star Luo City? With your identities, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to go there?"

Qian Renxue smiled. "It's fine, Yanyan."

Lin Yu was equally unconcerned. "Don't worry, Yanyan. Even if the Star Luo Empire wants to eliminate me, a genius of Spirit Hall, they wouldn't make a move openly in Star Luo City. Compared to other cities, Star Luo City is actually the safest."

Qian Renxue patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder. "That's right. Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

Lin Yu and Qian Renxue were not afraid, especially since they knew that Dugu Bo and Ghost Leopard Douluo were secretly protecting them from behind.

"Uh, all right." Hearing this, Dugu Yan dismissed her concerns.

"We've finally come to the Star Luo Empire. How could we not visit their capital? Let's go. After taking a look around Star Luo City, it'll be about time for us to head to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Mm-hmm! Let's go! Star Luo City!"
