Is his life a life? Mine is not?

"You can do it, can't you?

A Super Douluo-level flight-type Spirit Master, and a top-tier Phoenix at that, plus the amplification of a four-word Battle Armor. If you use your Martial Soul Possession and burn your essence blood to fly, you might just make it in an hour."

"Flying for an hour straight while using Martial Soul Possession? Ghost Emperor, that kid's life is a life, but mine isn't?"

"Correct. Your life isn't as important as his. You can die, but he must be saved."

"Damn it, my temper is flaring! You old geezer, do you even know how to talk?

You know as well as I do that our four-word Battle Armors are fakes. They're just three-word Battle Armors bolstered by evil secret arts and piled up with human lives. They aren't even close to a genuine Heaven-Forged four-word Battle Armor!"

"Then I'll give you half an hour more at most. You must arrive within ninety minutes to save that boy's life.

If you arrive within ninety minutes and he's dead, you've still done your duty.

If he dies within ninety minutes and you haven't arrived, I will slaughter you. I'm not joking."

"Then let me ask one last thing: why do you value him so much? Give me a reason to burn my essence blood. I don't want to burn half of my life force for someone who has nothing to do with me!"

"The boy possesses Twin Martial Souls. His Martial Soul just underwent evil-transformation, and it devoured a Title Douluo with a cultivation of level 93.

Unfortunately, after devouring him, his Martial Soul couldn't handle the sheer volume of energy and the backlash from the transformation. He could die at any moment, leaving not even a corpse behind. Is that reason enough?"

Upon hearing the Ghost Emperor's words, Leng Yulai was instantly stunned!

"Interesting, very interesting. Now I'm actually interested in this kid. Forget ninety minutes; I'll be there in an hour. But whether he survives or not will depend on his own fortune."

With that, the curvaceous Leng Yulai instantly donned her Battle Armor, released her Martial Soul Possession, and began burning her essence blood. A series of black holes appeared in the air, through which she shuttled.

"What on earth is this..."

Feeling the aura of Leng Yulai vanish, the Underworld Emperor curled his lips into a cold sneer and immediately flew out of the Holy Spirit Sect, followed closely by the Ghost Emperor.

The Underworld Emperor cast a cold glance at the Ghost Emperor!

"What happened?"

"Something good."

At this moment, on Blood Island, Lin Tian lay in a pool of blood, but his hand was resting on a table, fiddling with a Soul Tool screen. It was playing exactly what had just happened in the secret chamber.

Using his skillful editing techniques, Lin Tian cut and deleted all the footage after Blood Butcher was devoured, keeping only the part where the devouring occurred, before returning the Soul Tool monitor to its original place.

After finishing this, he used Martial Soul Possession to slash open his own veins, and only after the entire secret chamber was flooded did he use a Soul Tool to recover the blood.

Perfect!

After the Martial Soul evil-transformed and devoured Blood Butcher, the blood had spread wildly, flooding the entire chamber and destroying the Soul Tool monitor, leaving only the previous content. No one would be able to spot a flaw!

Only after all this was done did he continue his act.

Acting like a madman!

Who couldn't do that?

Eyes red, body frantic, self-mutilation, looking miserable, drinking blood—it was his own blood anyway, so drinking a bit didn't matter; it wasn't even that disgusting.

His wealth and status all depended on this gamble!

Lin Tian had actually considered hiding the news of Blood Butcher's disappearance, taking over Blood Island, and then hoodwinking the Holy Spirit Sect.

But he snuffed that idea out the moment it surfaced. It was simply too irrational; one lie would require countless more to cover it up until it eventually became impossible to hide.

Besides, he didn't think a kid his age could outplay a group of centuries-old foxes!

It was better to go with the truth. Since everything was possible after an evil-transformation, he could just blame anything he couldn't explain on the transformation itself.

He was a genius with Twin Martial Souls, and his Martial Soul had devoured a Title Douluo the moment it evil-transformed. This would inevitably draw the attention of the Holy Spirit Sect.

He could make good use of the Holy Spirit Sect; he was already an Evil Soul Master, so he would have to deal with them sooner or later.

As for whether he would reform the Holy Spirit Sect after using them or wipe them out entirely, that would depend on just how disgusting they turned out to be.

In any case, he had to finish his performance first.

An hour passed in a flash. With Leng Yulai burning her essence blood frantically and tearing through space, combined with precise positioning, a purple-black streak of light suddenly descended upon Blood Island like a falling meteorite, slamming into the ground and sending rocks flying into the sky.

Leng Yulai staggered to a steady stance, the Wind Phoenix Wings behind her slowly dissipating. She gasped for air, her blood and energy surging, her spirit power nearly exhausted; she was weak to the extreme.

The moment Leng Yulai landed, she was discovered by several Spirit Douluos on the island, and Blood Butcher's subordinates immediately surrounded her.

However, upon sensing the evil aura and the terrifying strength radiating from her, no one dared to step forward.

Leng Yulai didn't even consider these people worth her time. They were mere Spirit Douluos; even in her current weakened state, she could wipe them out with a wave of her hand.

She headed straight toward the target location, reaching the entrance of the secret chamber in moments.

Seeing the door, Leng Yulai's palm glowed with purple-black flames, and she slammed it against the metal door of the chamber.

With a deafening boom, the sturdy Soul Tool door was instantly blasted to pieces, metal shards flying everywhere. Leng Yulai walked into the chamber and immediately saw Lin Tian, covered in blood and acting like a maniac.

Her pupils constricted. She could clearly feel the dense aura of evil-transformation on Lin Tian; he really had lost control.

Leng Yulai was about to act, but just then, her communication device rang.

Leng Yulai frowned and answered it. A projection appeared almost immediately, and to her surprise, the Ghost Emperor was making a video call.

Leng Yulai had been impatient, but upon seeing the person on the screen, a look of shock appeared on her face. Besides the Ghost Emperor, the Underworld Emperor and the supreme ruler of the Holy Sect—the Supreme Sect Leader, the Demon Emperor—were also present.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Demon Emperor!"

Leng Yulai's face revealed an expression of reverence.

"No matter, save him with all your might."

The Demon Emperor's icy voice rang out.

Leng Yulai dared not disobey, immediately retrieving a vast quantity of holy medicines, secret elixirs, and various rare treasures from her storage Soul Tool. These were the Holy Spirit Sect's top-tier resources, rarely seen even by core members under normal circumstances, all temporarily allocated to her by the Ghost Emperor.

Leng Yulai took out these holy medicines and secret elixirs one by one, stuffing them directly into Lin Tian's mouth. Fearing he might self-harm, she locked his neck with her arm, pulling his entire body into her embrace.

Lin Tian struggled frantically, but in the face of a Super Douluo's immense strength, he had no power to resist and could only passively swallow these items.

As Leng Yulai worked to stabilize Lin Tian's backlash, the Ghost Emperor's command came through the communication device: "This is a Soul Guidance Secret Chamber; there must be Soul Guidance monitors. Retrieve the recorded footage. We need to see exactly what happened, and surely you wouldn't want to be suddenly devoured by him, would you?"

Leng Yulai froze for a moment, a sudden chill of fear gripping her heart.

Although she still found it hard to believe that someone as weak as Lin Tian could devour a Titled Douluo, they, as Evil Soul Masters, knew better than anyone how bizarre an Evil Martial Soul could be; nothing was too strange to happen.

Consequently, Leng Yulai, whose proficiency in Soul Tools was not insignificant, immediately located the secret chamber's Soul Guidance storage card. After reading it, she projected the footage onto the screen, and everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to the contents of the video!
