If Spirit Hall Existed, Would There Still Be Evil Soul Masters?

"Where does the Young Master plan to go next?"

Ye Guyi asked curiously.

"Do you want to go meet your Angel Clan's ancestor, Qian Renxue?"

"I do, but I wouldn't acknowledge her as my ancestor. I'm loyal to the Young Master."

Although Ye Guyi looked forward somewhat to meeting the inheritor of the Six-winged Angel—the ancient progenitor of her martial soul—she had come to a time ten thousand years in the past.

Time was the one thing she lacked least.

"I thought you'd argue with me again."

"How can the Young Master say that? As a subordinate, even arguing depends on the timing." Ye Guyi spoke with complete seriousness. "I am utterly loyal, and no one can threaten the Young Master's safety. Even if we encounter a present-day Titled Douluo, I can handle it."

"Of course, aside from a Peerless Douluo. Those might be a little difficult to deal with."

Carrying Li Qingxuan, Ye Guyi quickly left the sparring ground, leaving Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's angry expressions behind.

After the two had walked a hundred meters, the system notification suddenly rang out.

[ Ding! The host has defeated Tang San, a Level 13 control-system Soul Master, completing the hidden sparring mission. ]

[ Reward: Lingbo Weibu (Complete Version) has been issued and automatically infused into the divine soul. ]

[ Compatibility Effect: Perfectly merges with the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Light Soul Power. No cultivation threshold. Swift footwork, leaves no trace when treading through the air, and dodge enhancement is doubled. ]

A warm current surged straight into his mind, etching every movement of Lingbo Weibu and every trick of channeling power into Li Qingxuan's memories.

Lingbo Weibu? This wasn't bad.

But for now, he needed to find those Soul Masters who had massacred the village.

He had to take revenge.

"Are you planning to keep wearing that angel outfit? How about trying something else?" Li Qingxuan reminded her.

"Oh? Does the Young Master prefer Guyi in something else?" Ye Guyi immediately smiled. "If you like other clothes, just say so."

As soon as she spoke, Ye Guyi snapped her fingers. The Sacred Angel battle armor she had been wearing, along with the short angel skirt that exposed her long legs, instantly vanished.

In its place was a new look: long wavy hair, a beret, and gold-rimmed glasses.

She wore a loose white shirt on top, brown trousers below, black boots on her feet, and a small crossbody bag slung around her waist. Her outfit was tightly wrapped and conservative, yet she carried the gentle air of a friendly older sister next door.

"Young Master, how is this outfit?"

"That armor from before might have been a little too serious. Now that I've changed into this, doesn't it feel like an older sister taking her little brother out?" Ye Guyi raised her brows and smiled.

"You chose the outfit yourself, so why are you asking me?" Li Qingxuan curled his lips, still unwilling to answer.

"Young Master, don't say one thing and mean another."

"I can clearly see that the Young Master cares about it too."

"A good child admits it. If you don't dare admit it, then as the Young Master, you can also moonlight as an older sister and bully the Young Master a little."

Ye Guyi gave a mischievous smile.

This also made up for one of her greatest regrets—never having bullied a little brother before.

"Alright, alright, I admit it, okay?"

"That's more like it. The Young Master is the best." Ye Guyi nodded in satisfaction and rubbed against Li Qingxuan's fair cheek.

After leaving Notting Academy, the two prepared to head for Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"By the way, Young Master, can the Soul Tools on the continent currently threaten experts at the Soul Douluo level?"

"Soul Douluo? They'd be lucky if they could threaten a Soul Saint."

Li Qingxuan explained, "Even with the technology, the craftsmen on the continent have limited skill. Ten thousand years from now, or even twenty thousand years from now, Soul Tools will be capable of threatening the lives of Limit Douluo. But that will only take shape after nearly ten thousand years of development."

"Ten thousand years can change a great deal, just like Spirit Hall now."

"Among Spirit Hall's Seven Great Enshrined, the First Enshrined is a Peerless Douluo, while the others are all Super Douluo."

"Then there are the Titled Douluo of the Elder Hall and the Pope's Titled Douluo, as well as tens of thousands of Soul Masters below them and the Platinum Bishops."

"Even if such a force were placed in your era ten thousand years from now, it would still be extremely powerful!"

That was true. With just those forces combined, a single faction possessed over a dozen Titled Douluo—far more than the number of Titled Douluo in the Tang Sect and Holy Spirit Cult ten thousand years later.

Ye Guyi said, "How exactly did Spirit Hall become enemies with the founding members of the Tang Sect?"

"Judging by Tang San just now, it's really hard to imagine that he'll become the future Tang Sect Master and the future Sea God!"

Li Qingxuan jumped down from Ye Guyi's arms, walked ahead, and said:

"It's simple. Spirit Hall's previous Pope, Qian Xunji, forced his mother, Ah Yin, to sacrifice herself for Tang Hao. Then Xiao Wu's mother was killed by the current Pope.

"Later, Spirit Hall unified the continent and established the Spirit Hall Empire, but the Heaven Dou Empire resisted to the death. Tang San and his group joined them as well, which was why the Spirit Hall Empire was ultimately destroyed."

After hearing this, Ye Guyi immediately began to form a few thoughts of her own. If Spirit Hall managed to unify the continent now, what would things be like ten thousand years later?

"If the Spirit Hall Empire truly survived until ten thousand years later and established the Martial Soul Federation, would Evil Soul Masters still exist?" Ye Guyi asked urgently.

"If the Angel Clan hadn't been wiped out, do you think Evil Soul Masters would still exist? Even if they did, they would only hide in the shadows and never dare show themselves openly."

What Holy Spirit Cult?

What Evil Soul Masters?

If Spirit Hall had truly survived until ten thousand years later and established the Martial Soul Federation, the Angel Clan could have wiped out the Holy Spirit Cult with a casual deployment.

If the Land of Slaughter had not been destroyed, those Evil Soul Masters would only have remained hidden within it.

The great chaos caused by Evil Soul Masters ten thousand years later was, to some extent, also part of Tang San's karma.

Once the Land of Slaughter was destroyed, they would scatter across every corner of the continent.

Li Qingxuan spread his hands. That was also why the Holy Spirit Cult had risen to power.

One person with a Sacred Angel Martial Soul was not frightening. If the entire Angel Clan still existed, that would be the most lethal force against Evil Soul Masters.

"Young Master, I've realized you know so much." Ye Guyi pulled Li Qingxuan back into her arms.

"Let's pick up the pace now and go see the Angel Clan's ancestor first."

Ye Guyi smiled and immediately headed toward Heaven Dou City at a brisk pace.

Before long, the two arrived in Heaven Dou City. Ye Guyi carefully looked around at their surroundings.

"I've only ever seen scenes of Heaven Dou City like this in historical records. I never thought I'd get to experience it in person today," Ye Guyi sighed.

"Let's go to a clothing store first and get Young Master a change of clothes. Young Master, you're still wearing your old outfit."

"Do you have money?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Ye Guyi fell silent.

It seemed she really had no money.

"I don't have any either. Let's find some jobs that can earn us money first. Otherwise, we won't even have a place to stay."

Just as the two were at a loss, a laugh suddenly sounded beside them.

"This young lady is dressed quite fashionably. I've never seen anyone like you in Heaven Dou City."

"I heard just now that the two of you have no money? If you don't mind, I have a nice job here that can earn you some Gold Soul Coins."
