The Chaos of Evil Soul Masters

The distance between Skysea City and Eastsea City is not very far, taking only half a day by soul-guided train.

A black mecha, however, could make the journey in just a few hours.

The two of them set off at around 6 o'clock.

By eight or nine in the evening, they had already arrived in Skysea City.

Looking at the city before him, which was even more massive than Eastsea City, Li Ang's eyes held a trace of curiosity.

It was his first time visiting Skysea City as well.

Observing this modern-styled city, the two of them calmly exited their mecha and walked inside.

This time, A Ruheng placed his mecha into the mecha storage facility.

It was a place specifically designated for storing mechas.

However, upon seeing this black mecha, the young attendant's eyes were filled with shock.

One had to know that the users of black mechas were at least Spirit Douluos.

Furthermore, the vast majority were used by Title Douluo.

This was already a top-tier mecha.

It rarely, if ever, appeared in their Skysea City mecha storage facility.

After all, those who could afford a black mecha would, in all likelihood, purchase a mecha storage ring to carry their mecha with them.

Moreover, although the price of such storage rings was exorbitant, most people who possessed a black or purple mecha would purchase one.

As for someone like A Ruheng, who owned a black mecha but couldn't afford a ring, the attendant had likely never seen such a case.

Watching the young man's somewhat awkward gaze, and then looking at the indifferent expression on A Ruheng's face, the corners of Li Ang's mouth twitched in a rare display of emotion.

After the two entered the city, A Ruheng began to follow behind Li Ang; it was clear that his senior fellow apprentice was completely penniless.

Seeing A Ruheng's awkward appearance, Li Ang didn't mind. Upon arriving at the most luxurious hotel, he directly requested two single suites.

The price for a single suite was around seven or eight hundred Federal Credits.

Li Ang didn't care much about that amount of money.

Furthermore, upon learning about the auction, he had directly asked Leng Yaozhu for funds, or rather, sent the message straight to her.

Leng Yaozhu was actually quite interested in auctions held by these various declining ancient sects and families.

Because although most of these sects had fallen on hard times, their foundations still remained.

Some of the good items they could bring out were things that even a Title Douluo might find interesting.

Therefore, this time, Leng Yaozhu had transferred an astronomical sum to Li Ang via an anonymous account.

She let Li Ang use it for his expenses.

Thinking of the money in his account, Li Ang's expression became much calmer.

That evening, after treating A Ruheng to a meal, he requested the information card and began to review the details of the criminal.

The target was a fugitive, an evil soul master who had escaped from a federal prison.

His personal strength was above level 65, making him a veteran Spirit Emperor powerhouse.

His martial soul was named the Yin-Yang Cauldron, a highly evil type of martial soul.

It could harvest yin to supplement yang, helping him rapidly increase his soul power.

In short, this evil soul master was effectively a powerful serial rapist.

The nature of his martial soul itself was extremely wicked.

In the half-month since he had arrived in Skysea City, he had already raped and pillaged over 40 women.

Most of them were young girls and maidens.

This was absolutely a heinous incident.

However, the federal authorities were equally helpless regarding this, or rather, they were simply unable to resolve it.

This was not a core metropolis, after all, but merely a remote city.

Although it was a very wealthy city, the top powerhouses here only possessed the strength of around a Spirit King or Spirit Emperor.

Under these circumstances, asking them to face an evil soul master who was a Spirit Emperor—even if this Spirit Emperor's foundation was inferior to a normal Spirit Emperor—meant his strength was still not to be underestimated.

For normal soul masters, attempting to capture him was almost impossible.

Once the Spirit Emperors with the highest combat power in Skysea City could not resolve the matter, the police and local troops in Skysea City were even less capable of doing so.

This resulted in the fugitive remaining at large for half a month; despite being pursued several times, nothing had happened to him.

Instead, many innocent women had been harmed because of this.

Looking at this situation, which was evil to the extreme, Li Ang's brows instantly knit together deeply.

His eyes held an indescribable murderous intent.

Immediately, he turned his gaze toward A Ruheng.

"Senior brother, this should be a problem with the Federation prison, right? To let an Evil Soul Master like this escape and end up in a place like this—is there really no one in charge?"

"It's only been half a month, and he's already harmed so many women. If he's allowed to stay, this city will fall into complete chaos. Are you telling me the upper echelons of the Federation don't care about this?"

Li Ang's voice, originally calm, was noticeably raised.

Listening to Li Ang's voice, A Ruheng sat to the side and shook his head gently.

He turned his gaze toward his junior brother.

Watching the anger and righteous indignation in the other man's eyes, A Ruheng felt a sense of helplessness.

His junior brother's expression was almost exactly the same as his own had been back in the day.

But some things simply couldn't be viewed that way.

"The reason he came to Tianhai City is likely because some people intended for it to happen. They specifically placed a guy like this in Tianhai City, and their goal should be to drag the City Lord of Tianhai City down."

A Ruheng paused after saying this.

This wasn't information he had received directly, but rather a deduction Mu Ye had made after seeing the news.

Otherwise, there was more than one Spirit Emperor-level powerhouse in the area; it would be impossible for several Spirit Emperors working together to fail to take down a peer who was also just a Spirit Emperor.

The reason it hadn't been resolved until now was, in all likelihood, that those Spirit Emperors didn't really want to resolve it either.

Or rather, some of them wanted to solve it, while others did not.

At the time, Mu Ye had spoken quite cryptically, so A Ruheng only knew a little and didn't fully understand.

But hearing these words, Li Ang understood almost instantly.

"So, it's because of a power struggle. Just because of so-called power, these people put this Evil Soul Master into Tianhai City, letting him harm innocent women, and haven't even made an arrest to this day."

A trace of icy coldness and a near-ruthless killing intent flickered in Li Ang's eyes.

A Ruheng, however, did not notice this.

He just nodded in a somewhat dazed manner and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Junior brother, I know what you're thinking, but this is just how it is. Aren't we here now?"

"Once we're here, this matter can be resolved. Even if you can't beat him, I'll step in to help you take down this Evil Soul Master."

A Ruheng's tone was uncharacteristically serious as he said this.

Everything he had done while out and about over these years had been exactly like this.

Killing troublemakers and Evil Soul Masters, or even secretly eliminating Evil Soul Masters who hadn't been placed on a bounty list.

However, most of these Evil Soul Masters who hadn't been captured—or who were able to appear in places like the Federation—were in collusion with officials.

They funneled benefits to these officials and helped them eliminate political rivals.

Or, they were permitted to exist by the opponents of certain officials.

Because of this, A Ruheng had actually offended quite a few people during this period.

It was only because Mu Ye, a top-tier Super Douluo of the Body Sect, was backing him that the upper echelons of the Federation hadn't said anything.

Or rather, they hadn't taken any significant action.
