Evil Soul Master

"Even though Qian Gu Shizhen didn't act just now, as an experienced physician, how could I not see the Blood Fiend soul power within him!"

Ye Tian lowered his eyes and coldly glanced outside the door.

Hu Liena was suddenly shocked.

Blood Fiend soul power?

That's something only an evil soul master would possess!

As the future Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she had studied the continent's history.

In history, the world of soul masters not only had soul masters, but also a group known as evil soul masters.

Their minds were corrupted by their own martial souls, they became power-hungry, and willingly fell into depravity.

Instead of training properly, they ascended by devouring the soul power of others and increasing their Blood Fiend aura.

Wherever they went, corpses would pile up, rivers of blood would flow, and even ordinary people weren't spared.

Such evil soul masters, who would stop at nothing to increase their strength, had always been the mortal enemies of the Spirit Hall.

In the past hundred years, due to being hunted by various forces across the continent, their activities gradually went underground and disappeared.

It's said that in a place called the City of Slaughter, a large number of evil soul masters still exist.

If it hadn't been for the time lost on this trip to the East Sea coast, she had actually planned to go to the City of Slaughter to train herself.

She never expected to encounter an evil soul master here in the East Sea instead.

Suppressing her shock, Hu Liena stepped forward and asked, "Brother, how did you sense that the other party is an evil soul master?"

While staying by Ye Tian's side just now, she had subtly spread her spiritual power over Qian Gu Shizhen and his companions.

But she hadn't detected anything unusual.

Yet, Ye Tian, who wasn't even a soul master, had managed to sense it.

Ye Tian chuckled softly, "Even if they don't deliberately display it, once someone absorbs the Blood Fiend aura, their body will continuously emit Blood Fiend particles. These particles are extremely small, so of course, you wouldn't be able to notice them."

"As a physician, we rely on observation, listening, questioning, and feeling. I've honed these four skills to perfection. Detecting the presence of Blood Fiend particles is a simple task."

"I see," Hu Liena nodded, her understanding dawning. "So, Brother, are you going to take action against him?"

"I will, but not now," Ye Tian shook his head and explained, "I have some knowledge of the governor of our province, Qian Gu Nanfeng."

"Their family's martial soul is the Evil Dragon Staff, and for decades, the most outstanding member of their family has been the governor, Qian Gu Nanfeng."

"Qian Gu Nanfeng was originally quite ordinary, merely a Soul Master, but thirty years ago, he suddenly had an epiphany. His strength surged rapidly, and he was promoted to Titled Douluo."

"Qian Gu Nanfeng's rise to Titled Douluo has become a widely circulated legend in the Silves Province, an inspiring tale."

"In the past, when I looked at his story, it seemed fine. But now…"

Hu Liena pondered and said, "Brother, are you suggesting that Qian Gu Nanfeng's power actually came from aligning with evil soul masters?"

"From what I observed with Qian Gu Shizhen, it appears that way," Ye Tian's face grew heavy.

Previously, he had thought nothing of Qian Gu Nanfeng's achievements.

But after seeing Qian Gu Shizhen, his mind began to wander, and he started making connections.

After all, the Evil Dragon Staff wasn't exactly a top-tier martial soul, yet the Qian Gu family now not only had a Titled Douluo, but even the young Qian Gu Shizhen had considerable cultivation.

Moreover, the thick Blood Fiend aura around him was a serious concern.

Ye Tian continued, "Earlier, when I mentioned giving them an extra thousand gold soul coins, that was actually a code. Those extra thousand coins have a special mark."

"Using purple light, these gold soul coins can be tracked."

Hu Liena raised her head, "Evil soul masters never act alone. There's probably a base of operations for them in Silves Province. Are you suggesting that by tracking the circulation of these coins, we can locate their base and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

Hu Liena couldn't help but feel secretly amazed. Ye Tian's thinking was incredibly thorough.

"You're only half right," Ye Tian chuckled.

"Matters like these aren't suitable for me to handle personally. All I need to do is investigate thoroughly and quietly hand over the information to the Spirit Hall. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to take care of it."

So, in the end, he was going to let the Spirit Hall do the dirty work. Hu Liena pouted.

"Xiao Tian, why did I just see a group of people leaving the farm in a hurry?"

At this moment, Bibi Dong returned from a stroll, walking gracefully into the courtyard and asked Ye Tian.

Seeing Bibi Dong, Hu Liena happily rushed to her and explained the news about Qian Renxue's impending visit to the farm and Ye Tian's plan to investigate the evil soul masters.

After hearing Hu Liena's words, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and looked at Ye Tian.

She couldn't help but sigh at how calm and composed Ye Tian was.

He intended to investigate the evil soul masters and quietly hand the information to the Spirit Hall. This way, he could punish the evil soul masters without exposing himself.

If Ye Tian had been born in peaceful times, perhaps he could have lived as a carefree young man.

Unfortunately, this was the turbulent world of Douluo.

And under her guidance, Ye Tian was destined to leave his mark on the continent.

Seeing his sister smiling at him, Ye Tian stepped forward and suggested, "In a few days, the farm might become the temporary residence of the Crown Prince. It will be busy with many eyes watching, so I suggest you and Nana move to the villa."

"Alright," Bibi Dong nodded in agreement.

This was not the right time to meet Qian Renxue.

Since Qian Renxue didn't know she was by the East Sea, it was better to avoid the encounter.

Then, Bibi Dong gently patted Ye Tian's shoulder and smiled, "Xiao Tian, you need to hurry up with your wedding with Nana. I'm getting impatient."

Boyfriend-girlfriend relationships are always unpredictable.

Only marriage could truly bind Ye Tian to the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong knew this might seem a bit unfair to Ye Tian.

But for the future of the Spirit Hall, she had no choice but to do this.

As for what she owed Ye Tian, she would make it up to him slowly in the future.

As long as he didn't ask for too much, she would agree.

Hearing this, Ye Tian smiled.

His sister's behavior must be part of the universal tradition of family members urging for marriage... No matter where you are, you can't escape it.

He helplessly spread his hands and said, "Alright, I'll get it done."

"Marrying me is a loss, huh?"

Seeing Ye Tian's reluctant expression, Hu Liena pouted and crossed her arms.

"A huge loss."

Ye Tian couldn't help but pinch her fair cheek, kneading it as if it were a dough ball.

In his heart, his true love was Bibi Dong.

Compared to Bibi Dong, Hu Liena didn't come close.

But how many people on the continent were like Bibi Dong, who had become a Titled Douluo at such a young age through her own strength?

Of course, he didn't count the cheat-like female protagonists of Shrek's Seven Monsters.

Only women like Bibi Dong, with strong faith, a graceful figure, unparalleled beauty, and outstanding strength, were Ye Tian's ideal.

Unfortunately, he wasn't someone who wanted to get involved in the continent's conflicts.

Otherwise, he would have already joined the Spirit Hall and won over the beauty.

"Haha, being Brother's wife is a gain for me anyway," Hu Liena didn't care at all as Ye Tian continued playing with her face, and happily tilted her head.
