Xie Yue sat on the sofa and sorted through the information that the man had just given her.
Some of the existing intelligence within the Spirit Hall of Wind Salt City has been summarized.
"These Fallen Soul Master grow stronger by absorbing human life..."
Erdan said that all the livestock around had died, and that he must have done it.
Regardless of whether he did these things unconsciously, we should be vigilant.
There haven't been any large-scale disappearances in Wind Salt City recently, presumably because these Fallen Soul Master don't dare to act too recklessly.
Only then were livestock used for the experiment.
"From this, we can roughly conclude that the strength and number of Fallen Soul Master are not too exaggerated."
But we shouldn't underestimate them.
They can easily turn an ordinary level 1 Soul Master into level 16... They might be even more terrifying than we think.
He had a question he didn't voice, and Hu Liena shared the same thought.
Will being bitten by a bat turn you into Fallen Soul Master?
They didn't believe it either.
Unless that bat is related to Fallen Soul Master, or even is the Martial Soul Avatar of a Fallen Soul Master's martial soul.
Something that can turn people into monsters like Fallen Soul Master...
If that's the case, wouldn't the entire continent be at risk of becoming Fallen Soul Master?
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? We've brought so many people, do you think we're afraid of a bunch of rats in the gutter?"
At this moment, Yan crossed his arms and said loudly, seemingly unconcerned.
In his view, the Spirit Hall was the nemesis of Fallen Soul Master and was not a threat at all.
But no one in the house paid him any attention.
Xie Yue simply didn't accept what Yan said.
As a disciple of the Pope, Hu Liena knew far more than Yan.
The power of Fallen Soul Master goes far beyond their ability to level up quickly.
It is because they are cruel and bloodthirsty, which creates a unique kind of malevolent aura around them.
For a normal person facing such an Evil Soul Master, being able to exert 80% of their strength would be considered a testament to their strong will.
If they gain momentum, only the Angel Legion can deal with them.
Or rather, it should be called purification.
Wang Xiaoming didn't speak up to participate in their discussion; this kind of thing... was the responsibility of the Spirit Hall.
Of course, this excludes cases where Fallen Soul Master actively seeks him out.
However, that method of becoming stronger seems a bit too familiar.
Wang Xiaoming thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out what it was.
Besides... he always felt that this guy shouldn't be in the city.
What is that mysterious person planning to do with Erdan this time?
Will it cause riots?
This Wind Salt City is in a bit of a mess; it seems they really came at the worst possible time.
However, some of his recoverable Knight power is also located near Wind Salt City.
Is it just a coincidence?
No... his powers are all quite legitimate too.
If I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it.
Wang Xiaoming stood up from the sofa and looked at Hu Liena.
" Your Saintess Hall, now that things have concluded here, we'll be taking our leave."
He will not get involved in this mess unless absolutely necessary.
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena stood up and looked at Wang Xiaoming with some hesitation.
Actually, she really wanted them to stay.
But when I thought about the potential dangers, I decided against it.
They've only just met, and the level of trust between them isn't yet established.
Detaining someone rashly will only lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
They have strong people around them, so they don't need her to worry about them so much.
"Okay, thank you so much for today, I'm sorry to have kept you up for so long."
How about I take you back?
We're short-handed tonight and haven't finalized our battle plan... We still have some time, so would you mind if I came over to your place for a bit?
Coincidentally, I also wanted to explore Wind Salt City again; I hadn't had my fill when I was interrupted today.
What?
Wang Dong'er looked at Hu Liena warily, then quickly stepped in front of her, giving her a forced smile.
"Miss Hu Liena, as a Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, is it appropriate for you to be so attentive to her needs? It would damage your reputation if people saw you fawning over us."
I have a feeling that this sly fox is up to no good.
She remained completely silent and obedient, precisely to avoid getting involved in any karmic consequences.
Do you really think she can't talk?!
" Dong'er, your words really hurt me. You have made such a great contribution to our interrogation, what's the point of just sending you back?"
Hu Liena said with a smile.
Then, she looked at Wang Xiaoming with seductive eyes.
"If I could, I would really like to repay you properly~"
Anyway, she hadn't planned to stay in the rest room arranged by the Spirit Hall tonight.
"!!!"
Looking at this horny fox, Wang Dong'er wished he could rush up and poison her to make her mute!
What's going on? They've actually gotten involved with them?
She shouldn't go back... she's probably planning a night raid!
Thinking of this, Wang Dong'er pursed her lips, her body faintly emanating an invisible black aura, like a kitten guarding its food.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming pulled the somewhat agitated Wang Dong'er into his arms.
What's wrong with this girl today?
"We appreciate the Saintess's kindness, but there's no need for repayment. Besides, Chrysanthemum Douluo is an old acquaintance of mine; this little favor is nothing."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena nodded with a smile.
I see.
You should have told me there was this connection earlier.
result...
As Wang Xiaoming left with the two women, Hu Liena followed, followed closely by Yan, who was staring at Wang Xiaoming with a wary expression.
Wang Dong'er almost grimaced at the sight.
The woman still caught up!
However, Hu Liena looked completely innocent, walking alongside the others at a slight distance, occasionally giving Wang Xiaoming and Wang Dong'er a flirtatious wink.
You go your way, I'll go mine.
That's none of your business, is it?
Hu Liena hummed a little tune, looking smug and self-satisfied.
For some reason, she felt a strange sense of pleasure when she teased this young girl.
Is it because she looks too much like a teacher?
What a striking contrast!
The group walked through the courtyard of the Spirit Hall, heading towards the main gate.
The dark clouds in the night sky obscured the moonlight, making it difficult to see even a few rays.
While Hu Liena and Wang Dong'er were staring at each other...
Wang Xiaoming looked up and surveyed the somewhat gloomy night sky.
In the darkness of the night, numerous dark shadows could be seen constantly flitting across the sky.
Some of them have already fallen onto the large trees and walls in the Spirit Hall's courtyard.
Wang Xiaoming instinctively frowned.
They always felt like these things were watching them.
He asked Hu Liena curiously, "There are quite a lot of bats tonight. Are these animals common in Wind Salt City?"
Hu Liena was taken aback by what she heard.
She didn't know the answer to that question either.
She's not from here.
"That's probably it..."
However, after Wang Xiaoming finished speaking, she did realize that something was wrong.
Why did all these bats end up in the yard?
Just then, she looked ahead and her eyes widened in surprise.
Something's wrong, be careful!
