Blood Fiend was a Blood Shadow Envoy of the Holy Spirit Cult,
and he controlled the entire Eastsea City branch.
Seeing this,
Lin Tian immediately understood:
Aside from the branch,
Blood Fiend had also built himself a private domain on Blood Island.
Public was public,
private was private.
He used public resources to develop his own private forces.
That was rather interesting.
After the identity token
came a blood-red token brimming with Blood Fiend energy,
with the words "Blood Master" engraved on it.
This token could control every Blood Slave and Blood Servant on Blood Island.
All these people's blood essence was locked inside the token,
and Blood Fiend had also left special measures in their bodies.
As long as he held the Blood Token,
Blood Fiend could kill them all with a single thought,
but now all of this had fallen into his hands instead.
Everything on Blood Island had fallen into his hands, too.
Blood Fiend was over a hundred years old,
and he had spent a full sixty years building up Blood Island.
There were three Great Blood Fiend Envoys on Blood Island,
all of them Soul Douluos.
They were the strongest force Blood Fiend had cultivated,
and their commander, Blood Butcher, was even at rank eighty-six.
He was the supreme commander of the entire island.
There were also twelve Soul Saints,
who served as the island's lesser managers.
Below the Soul Saints were Soul Emperors,
Soul Kings,
and Soul Masters of other ranks,
two hundred in total.
The rest were low-ranking Blood Servants and thousands of Blood Slaves.
These Blood Slaves were the consumables of Blood Island,
providing blood for the Blood Servants and Blood Fiend.
When they died, more were captured.
Blood Fiend didn't capture people on Douluo Continent,
but on Tiandou Continent, not far from here—
people's lives were worthless there;
they were all slaves.
His island sat between Tiandou Continent and Douluo Continent,
making it a perfect island.
Lin Tian had never encountered so many slaves before,
and for the moment, he didn't know what to do with them.
Still, Blood Fiend had so many subordinates,
so they were bound to come in handy.
After this whole ordeal,
he had gone from a penniless kid
to someone with a decent force at his disposal.
He was beyond thrilled.
Blood Fiend truly was an angel investor.
If he ever got the chance,
he'd definitely burn some incense for him.
Besides these two most important tokens, the identity token and the control token,
there were also all sorts of other spoils that made Lin Tian's eyes burn with greed:
an outrageously large amount of rare metals,
as well as some treasures containing high-level energy and Soul Power,
most of which could be eaten.
This haul had made him incredibly happy.
After sorting everything out,
Lin Tian put it all back into the Storage Soul Tool
and carried it with him.
Last came Blood Fiend's communicator.
It was an eighth-grade communicator,
filled with encrypted numbers.
At a glance, it was clearly how the Holy Spirit Cult kept in touch.
His Martial Soul had turned evil,
Blood Fiend was dead as a doornail,
he had taken everything,
and the whole of Blood Island was in his hands.
But how was he supposed to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult now?
That was a problem.
And how was he supposed to get back?
Lin Tian fell into deep thought.
Just then,
far away in Heavenly Spirit Pagoda in Shrek City,
Han Tianyi and Qiangu Dongfeng received messages at the same time.
Han Tianyi's message had been sent by Han Tianxin,
while Qiangu Dongfeng's had come from a Qiangu Lineage spy planted near Han Tianxin.
At that moment,
Han Tianyi and Leng Yaozhu were discussing the direction of the Leng Family's Spirit Pagoda.
After receiving Han Tianxin's message,
Han Tianyi couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
"Eastsea City,
Twin Martial Souls,
a Body Martial Soul Evil Soul Master..."
Leng Yaozhu asked,
"Elder Han, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Han Tianyi smiled and shook his head.
"Just a minor matter.
That girl Tianxin found a Twin Martial Soul genius in Aolai City, a small city under Eastsea City.
He even has a Body Martial Soul.
She wanted to recruit him, but she ran into an Evil Soul Master,
who snatched him away."
As soon as Han Tianyi finished speaking,
a bright gleam flashed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes.
She was currently competing against the Qiangu Clan,
and what she lacked were geniuses.
She wanted to draw every genius she could into the Leng Family.
Twin Martial Souls combined with a Body Martial Soul—
that was the kind of talent destined to become a top powerhouse.
She hadn't expected Han Tianxin to discover one.
Han Tianxin belonged to Elder Han's faction,
and Elder Han was one with the Leng Family.
By extension, wasn't the boy on her side?
This was good news.
Leng Yaozhu pressed him:
"Have you found that Evil Soul Master?"
"The sea is vast.
How could we possibly search it all?
But that girl Tianxin gave me a rough area.
She asked me to use the Spirit Pagoda's Soul Tool Satellite,
along with my Super Brain Domain, to help her look for him.
That girl can't stop thinking about that genius!"
"Not just her.
Elder Han, I'm interested too.
How many years has it been since we last saw a Twin Martial Soul user?
A Twin Martial Soul genius, and a Body Martial Soul at that.
After his Second Awakening,
its power would be even more formidable.
With proper cultivation,
becoming a Super Douluo would be a certainty.
He might even be able to challenge the realm of a Limit Douluo."
"That's true.
What, you're interested in the boy too?"
"Mm.
Aren't you, Elder Han?"
"I'm not particularly interested.
His Martial Soul is a Body Martial Soul,
but it isn't a Mental Attribute Martial Soul.
His other Martial Soul, the Starfish Martial Soul, isn't a Mental Attribute Martial Soul either.
I have no interest in cultivating him.
But since that girl Tianxin wants to invest heavily in him,
and you're interested in him as well,
I don't mind lending a hand.
After all, I have a Body Martial Soul myself,
so I know a thing or two about this."
"Then, Elder Han,
please hurry and help Tianxin look for him.
The longer we wait, the more likely that little fellow is to run into trouble."
"Very well.
It's been a long time since I've put my brain through such an intense workout.
Now's the perfect chance to get it moving."
Then let's search the sea."
A powerful aura burst from Han Tianyi at once,
revealing the full force of the strongest Mental Attribute Soul Master.
Meanwhile,
Qiangu Dongfeng's office was pitch-black.
His fingers tapped incessantly on the desk,
making a steady "thunk, thunk" sound,
as he muttered to himself:
"Twin Martial Souls,
body blood,
Han Tianxin,
Han Tianyi...
Twin Martial Souls aren't anything special,
but if they fall into your hands,
then they become a problem.
He only said he'd join the Spirit Pagoda,
not which faction he'd join.
Whoever finds the kid first,
gets him."
When Han Tianxin found Han Tianyi,
she'd asked him to use his Brain Martial Soul to help search.
The vast sea stretched endlessly,
but with Han Tianyi's abilities,
he could surely find him within a day!
"But..."
Qiangu Dongfeng smiled,
then casually dialed a mysterious number.
"Why search when you can just ask?"
A moment later,
a cackling laugh came through the other end of the call:
"Well, well.
Am I seeing things?
It's the great Pagoda Master Qiangu himself.
And he's actually taken the initiative to contact us Evil Soul Masters.
How curious!"
The Ghost Emperor was in the middle of "company culture" at the time.
He chatted with Qiangu Dongfeng,
but his hands never stopped moving.
Harrowing screams rose and fell around him.
Qiangu Dongfeng frowned,
but still spoke up in anger:
"Ghost Emperor,
what is the Holy Spirit Cult playing at?
Snatching people all over the place is one thing,
but you even snatched one of my people?"
