The Holy Angel's suppression of Evil Soul Masters was simply too powerful.
After receiving and confirming the information, the Holy Spirit Cult acted with great caution and directly dispatched two Title Douluo.
No matter what, they had to eliminate her.
Battle erupted!
Evil power ran rampant—devouring, stripping away, and filling the entire Pingfan Alliance with bloodshed.
Jiang Heng stood amidst it all, watching coldly from the sidelines.
If he were human, facing these Evil Soul Masters and these fallen ones, he would have acted without hesitation and slaughtered them.
But he was not human. He was a Soul Beast.
One's position determined one's perspective.
As a Soul Beast, he had to provoke conflicts among human Soul Masters as much as possible, making them fight one another, descend into internal strife, and wear each other down.
"Hm, this is..."
At that moment, Jiang Heng discovered something interesting.
In a secret chamber of the Pingfan Alliance, three women were actually being held prisoner.
Calling them three women was not quite right. Strictly speaking, they were not human.
Their graceful bodies were entirely covered in scales, with only their faces resembling those of humans. They were exceptionally beautiful.
He remembered now. In the original story, the Pingfan Alliance had offered these half-human, half-beast Dragon Girls as prizes in the Underground Soul Engineer Tournament in Ming Capital. It seemed that after forming a contract and merging with them, one could not only achieve Martial Soul Evolution, but also gain draconic might in one's Martial Soul.
Killing them would instead bring the Ancient Dragon Blood Curse, causing one's Soul Power to weaken by ten percent every year until one became useless. Only a healing Soul Skill of one hundred thousand years or above could lift the curse.
Aside from that, they also possessed three Dragon Pearls. Those were all good things.
How could he possibly let them slip away?
Taking advantage of the Evil Soul Masters' assault on the Pingfan Alliance, Jiang Heng easily concealed himself and broke into the alliance's secret chamber with his cultivation.
"From now on, you three will stay by my side as maids."
Jiang Heng looked at the three Dragon Girls before him with great interest.
However, he also knew that he could not casually keep them outside. If others discovered them, unnecessary trouble would inevitably arise.
Without caring whether they agreed or not, he undid the iron chains binding the Dragon Girls, rendered them unconscious for a short time, then tossed them into a Soul Tool capable of storing living creatures.
After finishing all that, Jiang Heng began searching for the Dragon Pearls and looting everything in sight.
It had to be said, the Pingfan Alliance truly had an extensive collection.
He had already been wealthy, but now he had made a massive fortune.
Meanwhile, under the Evil Soul Masters' onslaught, more than half of the Pingfan Alliance had collapsed, with no strength left to resist.
"Kill the Holy Angel!"
"Do not let her escape!"
"An ugly Martial Soul like Angel should never exist in this world!"
"..."
The taunts of the Evil Soul Masters echoed endlessly around her. At only fourteen, Ye Guyi was already infinitely close to becoming a Soul King. She could truly be called a genius.
But what did it matter if she was a genius against the overwhelming tide of Evil Soul Masters?
A genius who had not yet grown was nothing!
"Why? Why did it become like this?"
"Why was I born guilty?"
"Why did everyone around me have to die because of me?"
Realizing that these Evil Soul Masters had come because of her, Ye Guyi was on the verge of emotional collapse.
Was it happening again?
Because of her Martial Soul, her parents had died at the hands of Evil Soul Masters.
And now, because of her Martial Soul, Evil Soul Masters had appeared and destroyed her second home.
"Sigh!"
"Should the bearer of an Angel Martial Soul suffer like this?"
Amid the chaos, just as an Evil Soul Master was about to raise his butcher's blade against Ye Guyi, a young man's leisurely sigh rang out.
It was Jiang Heng!
The next instant, all the Evil Soul Masters present felt a crushing pressure descend upon them. Even the Title Douluo leading them felt its immense weight.
Star Breaker!
As he spoke, Jiang Heng's figure flashed. He had already appeared behind the Evil Soul Master Title Douluo leading the group. With a single slap, he directly shattered the man's head.
Only after that did Jiang Heng arrive at Ye Guyi's side, crushing and killing the surrounding Evil Soul Masters.
He saved Ye Guyi from the Evil Soul Masters amid dire peril.
As for where that so-called peril had come from, do not ask.
"Descendant of the Angel Clan, if you want to live, if you want to grow stronger, if you want revenge and to eradicate Evil Soul Masters from the world, then come with me!"
Jiang Heng looked at the still-dazed Ye Guyi and spoke.
Ye Guyi instinctively looked toward the leader of the Pingfan Alliance.
She had survived until today under the leader's protection, so naturally, she had to listen to her.
"Bone Armor, go with this senior. Now that your Martial Soul has been exposed, the Pingfan Alliance's strength is destined to be insufficient to protect you."
The Pingfan Alliance's leader, Shangguan Weier, let out a soft sigh, wearing an expression as though she were thinking solely of Ye Guyi.
As for what she truly thought deep down, perhaps only she herself knew.
She had nurtured Ye Guyi for so long, always treating her as a trump card. Who would have thought that before she had truly matured, she would be taken away?
But did she dare resist?
This was an existence capable of slaughtering a Title Douluo in a single strike. His strength was certainly that of a Super Douluo, perhaps even beyond a Super Douluo.
She could only painfully let her go.
"Senior, who exactly are you?"
Ye Guyi did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Jiang Heng and asked.
"I can barely be considered a descendant of the Golden Crocodile lineage!"
"In this era, they call people like us remnants!"
Jiang Heng gave a self-mocking smile. Behind him, a golden phantom of a Golden Earth Dragon emerged.
He did not use any means to fabricate some Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul.
There was simply no need.
Sometimes, the more absurd something was, the fewer flaws it had.
Ten thousand years had passed. If the Golden Crocodile King lineage wanted to survive, it had to adapt.
What was wrong with a Martial Soul changing from the Golden Crocodile King to the Golden Earth Dragon King?
"Remnants?"
Hearing those two distant yet familiar words, Ye Guyi lowered her guard toward the man before her somewhat.
When she was little, her parents had often taken her into hiding. At the time, she had not yet awakened her Martial Soul and had no idea what it meant.
She had only occasionally heard her parents say that they were not remnants. They had merely lost in the struggle for power.
This Title Douluo before her was the same kind of person as she was.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Heng said nothing further to Ye Guyi and swept her away from the area.
The battle, which had been on the verge of stopping because of Jiang Heng's appearance, erupted again after he left.
The Evil Soul Masters had lost their strongest Title Douluo, and the commotion here quickly drew the attention of other factions.
In an instant, the Evil Soul Masters were defeated.
They scattered in every direction, fleeing in panic.
However, most of them still perished. Only a handful of Evil Soul Masters survived.
To Jiang Heng, Evil Soul Masters and so-called righteous Soul Masters were both human Soul Masters. There was fundamentally no difference between them. That was why he had not helped the Pingfan Alliance before leaving.
By then, he had already brought Ye Guyi to the largest hotel in Ming Capital, the imperial city of the Sun Moon Empire.
They had only just arrived and settled in when someone came to visit.
Jiang Heng had to admit that, when it came to efficiency, the Sun Moon Empire was indeed swift.
