Protect her, cherish her, then let her sword pierce his chest-that score would definitely be sky-high

With just one palm strike from Wu Yun, the three men coughed up blood, their auras weakened, and they supported each other.

Zhongli Di hung his head, a hint of resentment and fear flashing in his eyes. He had thought he could take advantage of these two important figures in the sect to intimidate this group of Titled Douluo from the original continent, but he didn't expect that these two elders wouldn't give them a chance to speak at all...

"Yes! We will withdraw immediately." Zhongli Tian said calmly, bowing deeply.

After saying this, he helped Zhongli Di, and the three of them left in a sorry state.

At Xuanji Douluo's signal, the surrounding Star Luo Empire experts reluctantly made way for the three old monsters to leave.

At this moment, all eyes were on Lu Cheng and Wu Yun.

They thought that the Evil Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level were troublesome enough, but they never expected that two Evil Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level would be blown up. If they are not careful, this place will be their grave.

In contrast to Xuanji and Juchui's tense expressions, Lu Cheng and Wu Yun remained calm and composed. The latter chuckled and said, "What should we do? It seems we're surrounded?"

Lu Cheng ignored Wu Yun's teasing and smiled warmly at Xuanji, saying, "Although I don't want to waste my time saving those three good-for-nothings, it's my duty, and I can't disobey the sect leader's orders. So... no matter how heinous their sins are, they're not someone you can deal with."

"..."

"What arrogant words!" Xuanji Douluo sneered, his face turning somewhat ugly. "Does Your Excellency truly believe that my Star Luo Empire has no strong individuals?"

"Hehe, unless your Offering Hall Azure Luan appears here, we might show you a little more respect, but with you alone... I'm afraid you're not enough." Wu Yun said with a smile.

His tone was calm, yet carried a hint of arrogance.

Upon hearing this, both Star Luo Empire elders' expressions changed. Azure Luan was the strongest person within the empire, a veteran of many years. Leaving aside his strength, there were probably only a handful of people who knew of his existence...

The fact that this guy could mention the hall master's title is probably not unfounded; there's a high chance he's actually seen him, or even fought him.

He's a tough old monster too.

"Now that our mission is complete, we won't bother you any longer. Tell that old codger Azure Luan that he chased me for eight hundred miles back then, and I still remember that grudge..."

With a strange laugh, Wu Yun transformed into streaks of black crows and scattered in all directions.

With a smile on his lips, Lu Cheng flashed and escaped the so-called layers of encirclement by the Star Luo Empire.

The pressure from two top-tier experts was more overwhelming than that of a thousand troops.

Only after they left did the many Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, and even Star Luo Empire elites at the Soul Douluo level secretly breathe a sigh of relief, their backs soaked with sweat.

Fortunately, the other side didn't intend to kill us, otherwise... today, this place would probably be stained with blood.

"Pursue?" Giant Hammer Douluo's expression was strange.

"So it was him..." Xuanji Douluo nodded in realization, watching the departing figure of Wu Yun with a complicated expression.

"Five offerings, seven offerings."

Zhongli Tian bowed respectfully, while Zhongli Di hung his head and remained silent, and Zhongli Ren trembled with fear.

"If you cause any more trouble and waste my time, I'll crush your three heads," Wu Yun said calmly.

"Reporting to the two Venerable Ones, it is not that we have been acting recklessly on the original continent, but that we have discovered a reclusive Angel Martial Soul family here. Their sect leader has actually reached the Soul Douluo realm, and their overall strength is not weak either..." Zhongli Tian said with a wry smile.

"Angel Martial Soul are the nemesis of Evil Soul Master like us. Naturally, the three of us brothers had to take action to eliminate them. We waited here for a long time before finding an opportunity for their sect leader to go out alone... After the three of us joined forces to surround and wipe them out, we slaughtered the entire Ye Clan from top to bottom, but we let one girl escape."

"That girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, yet she has already become Soul Elder. Her talent is monstrous. If we let her go, she will be a great threat to our sect!" Zhongli Ren said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"The Ye Clan? Angel Martial Soul?" A hint of curiosity appeared on Lu Cheng's originally calm face.

Are you sure?

"Of course!" Zhongli Ren nodded heavily, gritted his teeth, and tore open his clothes, revealing his chest, where a very long bloodstain appeared before everyone.

"The old codger's Soul Power had already been completely exhausted by my two brothers, but before he died, he seized the opportunity to slash me with his sword, and this wound is what he left..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng glanced at the wound, which was deep enough to expose the bone, and it exuded an extremely strong holy aura. In the real world, he possessed the Golden Earth Dragon King Soul Bone, not to mention that he now possessed the Blazing Angel Martial Soul, so he was quite sensitive to this kind of aura.

The original novel didn't explain Ye Guyi's background, but her hatred for Evil Soul Master was unforgettable. Obviously... the problem most likely stems from the Three Zhongli Brothers.

"I see." Lu Cheng nodded slightly, his smile growing even warmer. "Do you know which direction the girl escaped in?"

"There are mountains all around this city. That girl is only a Soul Elder. Even if she is fast, she probably hasn't gone very far yet... As long as we search the west side of the city, we will definitely find her!" Zhongli Ren said coldly.

"West of the city..." Lu Cheng nodded slightly.

"In that case, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the warm and gentle smile on Lu Cheng's face, Zhong Li and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. This Holy Son has gained extremely high prestige within the Holy Spirit Cult in recent years, and even shows signs of surpassing the sect leader. Therefore, he must not be offended.

But Zhongli Tian felt increasingly uneasy.

"Wrong!!!"

Zhongli Tian roared, "Second brother, third brother, run!!"

Zhongli Di and Zhongli Ren were stunned for a moment, but the next moment, it was as if they had fallen into an abyss. Pain washed over them, and the surroundings were torn apart and reassembled.

When I opened my eyes again, the world was spinning, my head had rolled to one side, and the headless body was holding a sharp blade—it had severed its own head...

"Spare me, Your Majesty!"

"..."

Lu Cheng's expression remained gentle as he slowly opened his palm. Three twisted souls frantically tried to escape from it, but were firmly held in place, emitting mournful howls.

"You all belong to the spiritual category. This kind of soul is the most delicious, chewy..." Lu Cheng chuckled.

Only now did the three of them realize with a chilling realization why this Holy Spirit Cult's Son had risen to fame in such a short time with a reputation for cruelty and tyranny.

It's because... they capture the souls of Soul Master and Soul Beast, but this Holy Son... is fond of the souls of Evil Soul Master.

It is said that in recent years, countless Evil Soul Master have been devoured.

"I like it very much. Consider it payment for saving you on this trip. After all, I traveled thousands of miles to the Star Luo Empire, wasting a lot of time. I see you don't have much on you... so I'll use your souls as payment."

Having said that, he slightly bent his palm, ignoring the cries of pain inside, and pinched each one into the size of Sugar Bean, casually tossing them into his mouth, gently exhaling a breath of stale air, quite enjoying himself.

"You bastard..."

Even Wu Yun felt a chill run down his spine at this scene. After all, they considered Evil Soul Master as their own kind, feeding on other mortals, Soul Master, and Soul Beast. But this one was feeding on Evil Soul Master...

"Don't worry, you're not a psychic... the flavor is a bit lacking." Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"Get lost!" Wu Yun got goosebumps all over and moved some distance away.

"Go back and report. Just say we were too late; those three guys were surrounded and killed by the other side." Lu Cheng smiled and didn't dwell on it anymore.

"Hmm." Wu Yun nodded, but he never cared about the life or death of Zhong Li and the other two. His figure transformed into several black crows and flew into the sky.

Ultimately, his relationship with Lu Cheng was even closer than his relationship with Zhongli Wu.

After all, he was chased by Ye Yu back then, which led him to join the Holy Spirit Cult in a fit of anger. It doesn't mean he was willing to fall into depravity. The cult was full of lunatics, and Lu Cheng was one of the few normal people among them. Therefore, the two had a good relationship.

"Ye Guyi..."

Lu Cheng smiled.

He finally found the gift for the Holy Spirit Cult: the Angel Martial Soul, the nemesis of the Holy Spirit Cult. As for the Simulation Device mission... when the girl he painstakingly nurtured Destruction the entire Holy Spirit Cult, and finally discovered his identity, the blade had to pierce his chest... the score shouldn't be too low, right?

Although the Angel Godhood are now shattered, angels are beings who attain godhood through faith, so perhaps a true "god" can be cultivated in the future.

However, as for the real world...

At that time, Ye Guyi was at most at the Soul King realm, not yet at the point of going too far. Lu Cheng nodded. Although the last Simulation almost resulted in the creation of a super boss that would take him down in one fell swoop, this time... he still chose to continue down the path of self-sacrifice.

After all, nothing is more unforgettable than raising a BOSS only to have that BOSS kill you with its own hands.

That rating must be incredibly high.

Lu Cheng nodded in satisfaction, having long forgotten the vow he had secretly made when he was pitifully pinned down by Zhang Lexuan earlier... that he would never do such a thing again in Simulation.

Sitan City.

It is a small city located near the Ke'ersi Giant City-State. It is not large, but it has a population of several hundred thousand and is fully equipped.

A young girl in a black cloak stared intently at the steaming buns in a shop not far ahead, her throat bobbing as she swallowed hard.

After looking at it for what seemed like an eternity, she hesitantly asked the shop assistant, "How much... is one?"

"One Copper Soul Coin, no credit allowed," the shopkeeper said with a forced smile.

Seemingly noticing her predicament, he looked at the girl with disdain.

"Well... let's have one."

Ye Guyi spoke with difficulty, saying that she was so hungry that she was dizzy. Ever since her family was slaughtered by those three terrifying Evil Soul Master a few days ago, her father stuffed her into the tunnel and watched helplessly as blood seeped in. After desperately running out of the city, she had come here day and night without daring to stop for a moment.

She had already suffered serious injuries when she left (from the attack of those three Evil Soul Master; after all, even the aftershocks of a battle between Soul Douluo level experts were far beyond what she could withstand), and she didn't have time to take any money with her.

Now all I have left in my pocket are a few Silver Soul Coin.

This was all the money she had left. If she needed to buy medicine to heal her wounds, these Silver Soul Coin would never be enough.

Not to mention, she also has to be careful not to get caught by those three Evil Soul Master...

"One?"

The shop assistant's eyes grew increasingly mocking as his gaze fell upon the girl. Time seemed to slow down, crushing her original arrogance.

"One!" Ye Guyi said coldly.

"Heh heh, where did this poor wretch come from..." the shop assistant mocked.

He accepted the Silver Soul Coin from Ye Guyi, casually tossed one to a steamed bun, and went back to his work.

Ye Guyi's eyes widened, and her brows furrowed slightly. "Where's the change?"

"You just gave me Copper Soul Coin, why are you giving me change?" The shop assistant raised an eyebrow and said jokingly.

"You..." Ye Guyi. The tragic deaths of her parents and relatives were still vivid in her mind. She had to endure it and avenge her parents.

I must... survive.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around her, Ye Guyi took a deep breath, tightened her cloak, clutched the steaming buns in her jade hands, lowered her head and walked away into the distance.

The shop assistant's smug laughter came from behind me.

Huddled in a corner of the city.

Ye Guyi leaned against the cold wall, sitting on the ground, holding a steamed bun in her hands. She parted her red lips slightly, took a bite, and the hot steam wafted out. Her taste buds, which had been empty for three days, exploded at this moment, Greed savoring the aroma of the food, and her whole body was enjoying it.

I don't know how many times I chewed it before carefully swallowing it.

But the lingering pain in her abdomen continued to torment her. She carefully tore open her clothes, revealing her fair and smooth skin, and even her slightly toned abs.

On her pure white skin, a conspicuous, thick black scar, like a centipede, clung to her. It seemed to contain a strong evil aura, preventing her injury from healing, and even her Martial Soul could not be released.

Her father shielded her from most of the Evil Soul Master's attacks, but a small portion of the damage still affected her.

Some medicinal herbs were placed beside him.

After Ye Guyi finished eating the meat bun and regained some strength, she crushed it with her hands to extract the juice, mixed it, and applied it directly to the wound.

A hissing sound rang out.

The girl clenched her teeth, her pain and exhaustion mingling as she forced herself to stay awake.
