Damned Evil Soul Master, How Dare You Disguise Yourself as a Soul Master with an Angel Martial Soul!!

You have absolutely no intention of learning how to craft soul tools, do you?!

Elder Yi clutched his forehead in his sea of consciousness, helpless.

Sigh... this child's train of thought is far too erratic. There's no helping it; I chose him myself.

At least his nature isn't bad. I suppose I'll just have to suffer through it—one is never too old to learn, after all.

"Xu Qing, I told you before: my other identity is the Child of Light."

In the outside world, Xu Qing's left eye was once again stained with gold, and formless spiritual power began to surge in every direction.

"Though I don't know why you're suddenly asking such a question, accomplishing this is child's play for me."

Almost the very second Elder Yi finished speaking:

"Wait... why is there such a holy aura of light coming from over there!?"

Elder Yi instinctively tried to control the eye to look toward Xu Qing, but the latter snatched back control.

"Heh heh heh, you old geezer, trying to make me go cross-eyed? Don't you know I can feel everything in this state too?"

He rubbed his sore, swollen eye and pulled the God King's Mother's Freshly Squeezed Eye Drops from his storage soul tool.

He gave himself a little spa treatment, applying the drops as he said:

"Elder Yi, where is that holy aura? Mark it."

It was only when he saw the angel in his life-flashing-before-his-eyes moment yesterday that Xu Qing remembered: at this point in time, that possessor of the Holy Angel martial soul had already arrived in the Ming Capital.

So, he had booked an appointment at the Pingfan Alliance.

It wasn't that he wanted to see the world; it was purely to seek out a partner for justice.

Right, it definitely wasn't to take advantage of the Pingfan Alliance's new customer discounts or their "buy one wash, get one free" promotion.

This was also the reason Xu Qing had sent Xiao Meng away. A young girl like her, how could she go to a place like that?

As for such an evil place, it was better for a "great villain" like Xu Qing to go and endure the suffering himself.

"Elder Yi's navigation has re-planned your route. Destination ahead, three kilometers. Go straight for one hundred meters, turn left..."

The boy's crisp voice played the audio prompts, while Elder Yi in the spiritual sea remained expressionless, projecting the route before Xu Qing's eyes.

He had already grown accustomed to Xu Qing.

Sun Moon Continent, Ming Capital, suburbs, Holy Spirit Cult branch.

The scorching sun poured its radiance and warmth onto the earth without reservation.

Xu Qing stood on the eaves of a high roof, having Elder Yi hide his aura.

He was slowly sipping an iced drink he'd made himself, leisurely watching the interesting events unfolding in the alleyway below.

Not at the Pingfan Alliance... a bit of a pity, considering I even reserved a spot.

Miss Angel, how did you end up running here all by yourself?

No matter how much you hate evil, you need to understand your own strength.

Confronting the Holy Spirit Cult alone?

Below was a narrow alley, with sunlight split in half, landing on the damp stone floor.

There were two people in the alley, one in the light and one in the shadows.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old blonde girl was righteously attempting to arrest a tall girl with dark red hair.

"You detestable evil soul master! I saw through your identity at a glance! Behave yourself and surrender!"

As Ye Guyi spoke, the holy power surging within her grew increasingly dense, and the iron sword in her hand became imbued with the light attribute, shining ever brighter.

Cornered against the wall was Nana from Class 3, Grade 5. At this moment, she was pressed so hard by that pure, holy aura that her face had drained of all color, and she was nearly unable to move.

Heaven knows how this happened!

She had just finished her usual day of academy life and come to this damned Holy Spirit Cult to report in, only to run into such a powerful light-attribute soul master!

And one with such an overflowing sense of justice, at that!

I haven't done anything evil! The aura on my body belongs to them! I've already tried so hard to hide it, so how can you still sense it!?

I can't die here...

But what is wrong with this woman!?

I explained it already, I even showed her my Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy student ID, and she still doesn't believe me!

I don't want to hurt you, you righteous light soul master...

Thinking this, Nana wanted to explain again, but the stinging pain that felt as if it were burning her soul would not allow her to delay any longer.

She flipped her left hand, and a very small white short sword, only five inches long, appeared.

Sorry, I will go easy on you...

"Hmph!"

Little Angel looked at the silent evil soul master and hummed in self-satisfaction, though her vigilance did not waver in the slightest.

This was the hard-earned wisdom of a messenger of justice: never lower your guard against your enemy!

Eat my Holy Greatsword!!

She gripped the glowing iron sword with both hands, a pair of faint, translucent wings lit up behind her back, and a yellow soul ring manifested around her hands.

Second soul skill—Holy Spirit Slash!

Swish!

At this critical juncture, that white short sword shot out from Nana's palm like lightning, thrusting straight at Ye Guyi!

Nana's trump card for survival, a level-six soul tool: Blink Sword!

Clang—!

Suddenly!

A phantom of a small, emerald-green scorpion appeared out of thin air, colliding perfectly with the soul tool that could have killed Ye Guyi and knocking it flying.

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow. This Ice Jade Scorpion soul beast phantom, infused with a trace of the Ice Empress's aura, was significantly stronger than the usual ones summoned.

What a miraculous change.

It's a pity I've never seen the Ice Empress's true form; otherwise...

Great opportunity!!

Nana reacted with lightning speed, immediately activating her ghost possession and ethereal state, shifting her figure to snatch the small sword from the ground.

She sped away!

Escape successful!!

"Who is it!!"

Ye Guyi's gaze sharpened; she had no time to chase the fleeing 'evil soul master'!

Anyone capable of striking silently from the shadows was undoubtedly a powerful soul master!

It certainly wasn't an evil soul master, because evil had nowhere to hide in her presence!

But it couldn't be a good person either, because a good person would have come down to help her fight the evil soul master!

That meant it must be a villain! A big villain helping an evil soul master!

Her wings flared again, and she struggled to steady the iron sword in her hand, which was trembling from her inability to use soul skills.

Her bright golden eyes scanned the surroundings sharply, but she found nothing.

"Come out! You petty coward! You actually let the evil soul master go!!"

"Hey, are you mistaken? You were almost killed just now, you know."

Xu Qing hopped down from the eaves, landing silently; his masterful body control spoke for itself!

"I'm your savior, and this is how you treat your savior?"

"And you call yourself a light-attribute soul master? Can't you even distinguish right from wrong?"

"If you dare to slander a good person so casually today, you'll be robbing people on the street tomorrow. Given time..."

Xu Qing watched Ye Guyi, whose expression had gone blank from his barrage of accusations, and said nonchalantly:

"Who knows what kind of threat you'll become to society?"

"Tsk, the more I talk, the more I feel like you aren't a light-attribute soul master at all."

He crossed his arms, looking down at her with an overbearing air:

"Speak! Are you an evil soul master in disguise!?"
