Six-Winged Angel, Judging Sin

By the time Lin Ze'an had passed through the layers of guards unimpeded and arrived at Yue Guan's location, it was already night.

However, the doors to the cultivation chamber remained tightly shut; clearly, he had not yet emerged from his seclusion.

That made sense. A Title Douluo was different from him; it was perfectly normal for them to spend years in seclusion.

I suppose Master is absorbing the immortal herb and taking the opportunity to break through his soul power rank, he thought. It's been so many days, he should be finished soon.

With that in mind, Lin Ze'an gently raised his hand and summoned several flexible vines.

The next moment, the vines began to weave and intertwine, quickly forming a sturdy and comfortable hammock.

Lin Ze'an added a few fragrant flower petals, scattering them around the hammock to make this resting spot even more pleasant.

After all, Yue Guan's palace was quite a distance from his own residence, and he didn't want to run back and forth, so he decided to simply wait here.

"That should do it." He nodded with satisfaction, lay down, and felt himself gradually relax, surrounded by the scent of plants.

Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, a violent surge of soul power suddenly erupted from within the cultivation chamber!

"BOOM—"

Even the hammock Lin Ze'an was lying on swayed slightly under the shockwave of that soul power.

He snapped his eyes open, jumped off the hammock, and looked toward the cultivation chamber with pleasant surprise.

Before long, the door to the chamber slowly creaked open, and Yue Guan's familiar figure appeared in the frame.

His face was wreathed in an unprecedented smile, and he looked absolutely radiant.

"My good disciple, have you been waiting long?"

Hearing this, Lin Ze'an hurried forward and said with a smile, "Not long at all, Master. I just arrived."

As he spoke, Lin Ze'an suddenly bowed respectfully, "Congratulations to you, Master, on your breakthrough and your increase in strength!"

Yue Guan was slightly taken aback, then quickly reached out to help Lin Ze'an up, patting his shoulder with a sigh of emotion, "There's no need for such formalities with me. If it weren't for your immortal herb, I wouldn't have been able to break through."

As he finished speaking, he looked Lin Ze'an up and down, his eyes filled with astonishment, "Disciple, you've changed quite a bit during this time."

Did he consume an immortal herb? How is he already at level thirty?

Soon, Lin Ze'an recounted everything that had happened during this period to Yue Guan.

After listening to Lin Ze'an's story, Yue Guan's expression shifted from surprise to relief, and finally, he sighed, "That is good. This way, besides me, there is at least one other person who can protect you."

As his master, he knew well how complex the internal workings of Spirit Hall were. Although Ze'an was gifted, he carried too much on his shoulders at such a young age.

Now, with the protection of the Consecrated Hall—especially given his connection to Golden Crocodile Douluo—at least this child could walk his future path more steadily.

Just then, Lin Ze'an suddenly remembered something; he flipped his right hand and retrieved the fifty-thousand-year-old skull bone from his soul tool.

Seeing this, Yue Guan was stunned, "This is... a soul bone?!"

Lin Ze'an nodded and held the soul bone out to Yue Guan with both hands, "Master, please absorb this fifty-thousand-year-old skull bone."

Yue Guan paused, looking at the soul bone Lin Ze'an was offering, a flash of shock crossing his eyes.

A soul bone of this caliber would drive even a Title Douluo to madness.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Yue Guan pushed his hands away, forcing the soul bone back toward Lin Ze'an.

He then said sternly, "Disciple, do you know how precious a soul bone is? This is something that cannot be sought even if one desires it; it will be of immense benefit to your future cultivation!"

He stood up, looking at Lin Ze'an with a grave expression, "I know you always think of me when you have good things, but this is non-negotiable. Take it back!"

In the end, only after learning that Lin Ze'an possessed another skull bone did Yue Guan finally accept the soul bone.

With Yue Guan's help, Lin Ze'an successfully hunted an Ancient Tea Tree that was just over ten thousand years old, obtaining his third soul skill: Leaves Fall to the Other Shore.

The remaining energy from the Love-Sickness Heartbroken Red, combined with the boost from the ten-thousand-year soul ring, allowed his cultivation to leap to level 34.

A month later, Spirit City welcomed its most bustling moment in recent years.

At Lin Ze'an's request, Spirit Hall would hold a public trial for Mai Xuanfeng and his accomplices, as well as the evil soul masters who had already been captured, before the entire continent.

Every major power on the continent was invited by Spirit Hall to send representatives to Spirit City to witness this unprecedented and grand trial.

This was not only to provide justice for Lin Ze'an but also to declare to the entire continent: Spirit Hall would never tolerate the ravages of any evil soul master!

Although, in Bibi Dong's eyes, the only reason this trial existed was because of Lin Ze'an.

In front of the Pope Palace, numerous palace guards stood in neat rows, maintaining order at the scene.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Bibi Dong stood in a high position and spoke with majesty:

"Representatives from all the powers of the continent, today, Spirit Hall sits in judgment of evil, aiming to uphold justice and maintain peace across the continent."

As she finished, under the escort of numerous palace guards, the evil soul master who had harmed Lin Gang and Mai Xuanfeng were brought forward.

Behind them were hundreds of other deacons and bishops who, like Mai Xuanfeng, had been found guilty of crimes and were about to face judgment.

The representatives of the various powers below the stage looked at one another, exchanging puzzled glances.

What has happened to Spirit Hall? Why are they holding this public trial with such great fanfare?

For a moment, the atmosphere in front of the Pope Palace became incredibly heavy. Although everyone remained silent on the surface, they were all speculating about Spirit Hall's motives in their hearts.

Just then, the sky suddenly brightened.

As the crowd looked up, they saw the clear sky suddenly torn apart by a sheet of dazzling golden light.

Immediately after, a massive phantom of a Six-Winged Angel slowly emerged. Its entire body radiated a sacred glow, and its six enormous wings unfurled slowly, shrouding the Pope Palace.

Originally, Bibi Dong alone would have been enough to preside over this trial.

However, because of Lin Ze'an, Qian Daoliu decided to give him some face and make an appearance.

After all, only with the Six-Winged Angel present could Spirit Hall demonstrate the importance it placed on this trial.

Meanwhile, the crowd present was stunned as they watched the sudden appearance of the Six-Winged Angel.

"This... this..."

"The Six-Winged Angel! That is..."

Although this martial soul had not appeared on the continent for many years, it remained fresh in the memories of the major powers.

They just didn't know what its reappearance in the world signified.

Following this, the golden light cascaded down like a waterfall, shining upon the criminals detained in front of the Pope Palace.

Whether they were evil spirit masters or other serious offenders, they immediately collapsed to the ground under the radiance of the holy light, struggling in agony.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong glanced up at the Six-Winged Angel in the sky, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Then, she addressed those below the stage: "Under the holy light of the God of Angels, Spirit Hall will never tolerate any evil."

"After the trial, these people will all be escorted to Slaughter City for imprisonment, never to leave for all eternity!"
