The Battle of Jialing Pass Begins, Liu Yuan Dispatches Troops!

Of course, now that Liu Yuan had recruited so many Evil Soul Masters, he naturally needed to exercise some control over them.

After all, Evil Soul Masters were inherently vicious and cruel creatures.

If they were not strictly managed, their ruthless and bloodthirsty nature would easily lead to widespread devastation.

Liu Yuan did not consider himself a good person, but he still had a bottom line, so at the very least, he could not let the Evil Soul Masters under his command run wild. After all, his deity was the God of Death, not an evil god.

Therefore, as the number of Evil Soul Masters Liu Yuan had subdued grew, he took action.

He first established his own organization: the Holy Spirit Cult.

In truth, Liu Yuan had simply borrowed the name from the historical Evil Soul Master organization, the Holy Spirit Cult. Since his organization was also composed of Evil Soul Masters, he felt the name was quite fitting.

As for the distribution of ranks within the Holy Spirit Cult.

The Cult Master was naturally Liu Yuan himself, commanding all the Evil Soul Masters within the organization.

Beneath him were three elders, all of whom were Evil Soul Masters above level ninety.

Among them, the Third Elder was level ninety-two, the Second Elder was level ninety-four, and the First Elder was level ninety-six.

Below the elders were the ordinary members.

Among the hundred or so Evil Soul Masters, the majority had soul power levels between sixty and seventy, with only a handful in the eighty to ninety range. As for those below level sixty, there were none.

This was the general situation of the Evil Soul Master army currently under Liu Yuan's command.

Although the numbers were small, totaling only about a hundred people.

Firstly, these Evil Soul Masters were elites with high soul power levels, and the three elders even possessed power on the level of a Title Douluo.

Secondly, because these soul masters had been resurrected by Liu Yuan, they all possessed a certain amount of the Power of the Death God within them, making them essentially half-undying soldiers.

Therefore, if this Evil Soul Master legion were to truly take action, Liu Yuan felt that wiping out any of the Upper Three Sects would be completely effortless.

The Clear Sky Sect might pose a bit more pressure, given that they had Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, along with a large group of elders at the Title Douluo level.

However, for sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, as long as Liu Yuan's Evil Soul Master legion mobilized, they could absolutely be wiped out with ease.

Of course, this was merely the capability of the Evil Soul Master legion; Liu Yuan had not ordered them to do so.

Ever since the Evil Soul Master legion was formed, they had remained very low-key.

After all, Liu Yuan knew that it was not yet time for him to emerge from seclusion.

So, since the inception of the Evil Soul Master legion, they had mostly been lurking in various regions across Douluo Dalu, awaiting orders and gathering intelligence.

This meant Liu Yuan no longer needed to dispatch his own clones to investigate information; he could clearly know all the movements on Douluo Dalu simply by relying on the information network created by his Evil Soul Master legion.

As for Liu Yuan himself.

After more than a year of effort, he had successfully completed two more inheritances.

There were a total of ten inheritances for the God of Death. As long as Liu Yuan successfully completed all ten, he would be able to inherit all the powers of the God of Death and become the new God of Death.

Before this, he had already successfully completed two inheritances, and now, having completed two more, Liu Yuan had finished nine of the God of Death's inheritances, leaving him only one step away from final godhood!

His strength was also incredibly formidable.

Now, he no longer needed to pay attention to things like soul rings or soul bones.

Those things were irrelevant to Liu Yuan.

After all, he had already completed nine inheritances of the God of Death.

Having completed nine out of ten, although he had not yet become as powerful as the God of Death, the current Liu Yuan already possessed combat power at the level of a Tier 1 God.

Moreover, he was likely in a league of his own among Tier 1 Gods; beings like the Sea God, the Angel God, or the Rakshasa God were essentially fragile and defenseless before him.

Therefore, the current Liu Yuan had basically become the strongest on Douluo Dalu. He only needed to complete all the inheritances of the God of Death to become the new God of Death, possessing strength far exceeding that of a God King. Then, he would emerge from seclusion to slaughter Tang San and Yu Xiaogang!

Liu Yuan's original plan was to ignore everything for the time being, focus entirely on accepting the inheritances, rapidly obtain all the divine power of the God of Death, and then emerge to make everyone who had harmed him pay the price.

However, he had not expected that the Battle of Jialing Pass had already begun.

According to Liu Yuan's memories, in the original story, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were later killed on the spot by Tang San during the Battle of Jialing Pass, leading the noble class of the Heaven Dou Empire to victory.

This matter actually had no impact on Liu Yuan, for as long as he completed all the inheritances and emerged successfully, any ants standing in his way would be swept away with ease.

However, Liu Yuan was, after all, a man who valued loyalty and sentiment.

His personality was extreme: he would repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring, and return the slightest grudge a thousandfold.

There was no need to mention Tang San and the others; because of the grudges formed that day, Liu Yuan would not let them off.

But the same applied to Bibi Dong.

Back when he had not yet obtained the inheritance of the God of Death, he had passed through Wuhun City and only survived because of Bibi Dong's help and charity.

Later, it was even because of the travel funds Bibi Dong had left him that he had the capital to continue his journey.

Therefore, Bibi Dong had shown Liu Yuan kindness, and a great kindness at that.

Perhaps by now, Bibi Dong didn't even know who Liu Yuan was, but Liu Yuan would not forget the kindness of that day, so he would not let Bibi Dong die at the hands of Tang San.

Furthermore, this was a good thing for the entirety of Douluo Dalu.

After all, as long as Wuhun Hall existed, the order of both the Evil Soul Masters and Douluo Dalu could be guaranteed.

But if Tang San were to win, it would be a different story; he would leave behind a mess and simply walk away, leaving the common people of future generations to suffer the consequences.

Of course, Liu Yuan was not that noble; he wanted to help Bibi Dong primarily because of the kindness she had shown him in the past. As for the other commoners on Douluo Dalu, helping them was merely a secondary consideration.

"Great Elder, Second Elder, Xiao Wu, the three of you head to Jialing Pass."

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan directly summoned the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, as well as Xiao Wu, who had been serving him all these years.

"The battle at Jialing Pass has now begun, and Bibi Dong has shown me kindness. You are to go to Jialing Pass and provide secret assistance to repay this debt on my behalf."

"Of course, I am asking you to help Bibi Dong, not Wuhun Hall."

"Wuhun Hall is divided into two factions. One is Bibi Dong's faction, which consists of her own forces. If you encounter them facing difficulties, you may step in to help as appropriate."

"As for Qian Daoliu's faction, forget about them; whether they live or die is none of your concern."

Liu Yuan spoke to the group, and as he reached the end, he happened to remember Yu Xiaogang.

"Right, if the opportunity arises, kill Yu Xiaogang while you're at it."

"I've tortured him enough before, and as a cripple, he has already felt plenty of pain."

"But that guy has been doing better lately; now that Tang San has gained power, he's living the good life again, and it's quite an eyesore."

"Find a chance to kill him and be done with it. I don't want to see him enjoying himself."
