"Elder."
Inside the Holy Spirit Cult's branch, after finishing a look at her parents' souls, Nana bowed to the elder of the branch and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, the elder of the Holy Spirit Cult's branch called out to her.
"Wait a moment, don't leave yet. I just received a message that several of our Holy Cult's branches in other locations have lost contact. They might have been destroyed by someone, and we don't know who is responsible yet. We've been ordered to strengthen our defenses, so you'll have to stay here for now."
Upon hearing this, Nana's heart stirred. The Holy Spirit Cult's branches losing contact and possibly being destroyed was great news for someone like Nana, who had been persecuted by the Holy Spirit Cult.
Despite her inner joy, Nana dared not show any expression on her face. Instead, she asked with a worried look, "Elder, do you think we will be attacked here too?"
Hearing this, the elder of the Holy Spirit Cult's branch scoffed dismissively. "Attack here? How is that possible!"
"I am a seventy-fifth level Soul Sage. Under my Skeleton Wizard Spirit, even an ordinary Spirit Douluo would not be able to gain any advantage."
"Coupled with the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit, both of whom are sixth-ring Soul Emperors. With the Holy Cult's Holy Power, they both possess strength comparable to a seventh-ring Soul Sage."
"As long as the three of us join forces, cooperating with the Holy Banner bestowed by the Holy Cult, we will be hard to defeat by anyone below a Titled Douluo. Such strength is not comparable to the Holy Cult branches located in obscure corners elsewhere."
"Besides, the place we are in is not far from the Holy Cult headquarters..."
Halfway through his sentence, the elder of the Holy Spirit Cult's branch suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.
"Hmph, you ask too many questions."
Sensing the hint of anger in the branch elder's words, Nana quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Elder. I am truly concerned about the safety of this Holy Cult branch."
"Worried about what? With me and the two Holy Spirits here, can anything happen? If something were to happen here, it would be equivalent to a Titled Douluo being toyed with by a fifth-ring Soul King, and that fifth-ring Soul King could still escape afterward. Such a thing is unthinkable."
Nana lowered her head, a flicker of hope extinguished in her heart, but she dared not show it. Should she agree with the elder of the Holy Spirit Cult's branch? "You are right, Elder."
Seeing Nana's obedient attitude and recalling her good talent, the elder of the Holy Spirit Cult's branch nodded. "It's good that you know. Go and cultivate. With your talent, you should be qualified for the Holy Cult's Baptism in a few years."
Nana's heart trembled at this, but she dared not say anything.
Just as Nana was about to retreat and find a place to feign cultivation, the door of the Holy Spirit Cult's branch was suddenly kicked open.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Holy Cult! Don't you want to live anymore!"
The Holy Spirit Cult's branch elder's spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—along with the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit's spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—appeared instantly. Then, their sixth and seventh spirit rings lit up, and all three unleashed their strongest Spirit Skills at the same time.
"A Soul Sage and two Soul Emperors, the spirit ring configuration is not bad, but their strength really can't compare to that Death Messenger at all."
Lin Feng said, raising his left index finger and activating the forty-thousand-year Spirit Skill of his Extreme Ice Palm Bone, Flash Freeze Ray!
As the three Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult had just released their Spirits and were about to unleash their strongest Spirit Skills, they were hit by three extremely fast beams of light halfway through their activation. Before the next second could arrive, all three had turned into ice sculptures.
Whether it was the two Soul Emperors or the strongest Soul Sage, they were all frozen by Lin Feng in a single encounter. Neither the forty-thousand-year Spirit Skill nor the Extreme Ice was something they could contend with.
Furthermore, although Lin Feng did not possess the Spirit Detection Spirit Skill, his sufficiently powerful spiritual power allowed him to sense early on which of them were loyal followers of the Holy Spirit Cult. With overwhelming strength and the advantage of striking when they were unprepared, if those people could have lasted even a second longer, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's Soul Bone would have been unnecessary.
Seeing the elder who had just told her that the Holy Spirit Cult's branch would absolutely not be breached turn into an ice sculpture, along with the two Holy Spirits, Nana couldn't react to what was happening for a moment.
It wasn't until Lin Feng passed her and headed towards the dungeon where her parents' souls were imprisoned that Nana began to react slightly.
Soon, her concern for her parents' souls outweighed her fear of Lin Feng's strength. Although still very scared, Nana cautiously looked at Lin Feng.
Sensing Nana's cautious gaze, Lin Feng said nothing. A person who was not even a fourth-ring Soul Master, even with a sneak attack, could not break through his protective Spirit Power.
Moreover, as someone who understood the original work, even though Lin Feng didn't recognize Nana, he knew that a group of people had been forcibly captured by the Holy Spirit Cult and coerced into becoming its disciples.
Therefore, Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to Nana's gaze. He simply sensed something and then raised his hand, grabbing the Myriad Soul Banner in front of Nana's terrified eyes.
Seeing Lin Feng pick up the Myriad Soul Banner, Nana opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but due to the strength Lin Feng had previously displayed, fear caused her words to stop in her throat.
Lin Feng paid no mind to this, merely raising his hand and severing the connection between the souls within the Myriad Soul Banner and the banner itself.
Lin Feng did not know necromancy, nor did he have any soul-related Spirit Skills, but his own Spirit was a soul-type Spirit.
He was naturally able to come into contact with and use souls.
After all, if he had a soul Spirit, he couldn't possibly not be able to contact souls, right?
Wasn't it like the Blue Silver Grass Spirit that couldn't entwine without a Spirit Ring?
Clearly, Lin Feng wouldn't be unable to use his Spirit just because he lacked soul-related Spirit Skills. Regarding the souls within the Myriad Soul Banner, Lin Feng severed their connection to the banner based solely on his own senses, setting them free.
As for the Myriad Soul Banner, he could use it to store the souls of Long Xiaoyao and the others later, though by then it wouldn't be the Myriad Soul Banner anymore, only the Human Emperor Banner.
"Say your goodbyes. I've severed their connection to the Myriad Soul Banner, so they won't have to suffer anymore, but they will soon dissipate."
Lin Feng's voice, imbued with spiritual power, jolted Nana back to reality. She hurried to her parents' souls and bid them a final farewell.
Glancing at Nana saying goodbye to her parents' souls, Lin Feng turned to leave.
Just as Lin Feng was about to leave, Nana quickly knelt before him.
"Master! Nana is willing to be your servant and work for you! I will serve you for life! Please take me in."
Lin Feng: "..."
