"Brother Zou, do you know the name of that sect?" 

Su Yu couldn't help but ask. 

With that name, it's surprising they've made it this far. 

"It seems to be called the Body Sect, but I haven't heard of it before," 

Zou Yun replied. 

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. 

"That's good, at least it's not the Holy Spirit Sect." 

Blood Essence is a rare resource, formed from the purest condensed bloodline power, capable of strengthening the body. 

This would be extremely tempting for the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect and the Body Soul Masters of the Body Sect. 

"But let me tell you," Zou Yun said, lowering his voice, "I think the Body Sect is even stronger than the Heavenly Armor Sect or the Iron Blood Sect." 

Zou Yun gave a knowing look, then continued, "From my investigation, I found that at least a Soul Emperor exists in that sect, and they're not even the Sect Leader—apparently, they're called a Deacon. Just think about it, a Soul Emperor can only be a Deacon; I estimate that the Body Sect has at least a Soul Douluo in charge." 

It's not that Su Yu looked down on Zou Yun, but given Zou Yun's strength as a Soul Master, it's hard to believe his investigation would yield such detailed information. 

"There was a Soul Emperor who came to trade with us once, named Deacon Zuo. After the trade, he had a confrontation with someone not far away. I personally saw his soul rings—three yellow, one purple, and two black." 

Zou Yun seemed to sense Su Yu's doubt and continued explaining the situation. 

To be honest, Zou Yun was incredibly lucky. 

A group of volatile people from the Body Sect had actually cooperated with him in a trade and hadn't caused any trouble in over a year. 

"Little Brother Su, if you join my Crazy Yun Guard team, your future will be bright," 

Zou Yun boasted confidently. 

His instincts were always accurate, and he had a good eye for people. Su Yu looked like a natural talent. 

Perhaps, he could become the third Soul Master in the Guard team. 

Moreover, his youth meant unlimited potential. 

"I suggest you travel with a merchant convoy within the Heavenly Soul Empire's borders. 

Our Guard team is involved in a lot of that kind of business. 

Many small merchants approach us for collaboration because of our reputation." 

"Brother Zou, I'll join your Guard team then," 

Su Yu decided. 

Traveling around and experiencing different parts of the Heavenly Soul Empire was a good idea. 

Traveling with a convoy would also be the safest option, and there would be fewer incidents. 

A Guard team, in essence, was like a convoy escort, but much safer. Their work didn't involve constantly living on the edge of danger. 

Robbery was a rare occurrence. 

Hiring a Guard team was simply a form of insurance for a merchant group. 

"Good, Little Brother Su, I knew I was right about you," 

Zou Yun said, pleased, as he took a swig from a wine jug. 

"Ah~ that's good! Little Brother Su, want a sip?" 

Su Yu shook his head. 

He didn't drink. 

Zou Yun didn't press him and took another swig himself. 

"Little Brother Su, what's your martial soul?" 

"Blue Silver Grass." 

"Blue Silver Grass, huh..." 

"Poof!" 

"What did you say?" 

Zou Yun stared at him, wide-eyed. 

"Mutated Blue Silver Grass, Soul Power level 25." 

Su Yu didn't show his soul rings but let out the aura of his Soul Power, about level 25. 

It couldn't be helped; he could control the number of visible soul rings, but their colors were frightening. 

His lowest soul ring was purple. If he released them, it would be obvious that he was at least a Soul Grand Master. 

"You're fifteen, right?" 

Su Yu nodded. 

Zou Yun's face lit up with excitement. 

"Haha, I knew it! My judgment is spot on! A fifteen-year-old Soul Grand Master, and he's already at level 25!" 

Zou Yun said, turning to the others around him. 

"Captain really has a good eye." 

The others looked at Su Yu with envy. 

A Blue Silver Grass martial soul, with such a rare mutation and talent. 

How lucky! 

"Hey? Have we arrived?"

The convoy slowed down, and Zou Yun leaned out to look at the road conditions. He turned back to Su Yu and said, "Little Su, we've arrived. Look, ahead is Tianjia City, home of the Heavenly Armor Sect."

Su Yu looked at the massive, imposing city walls, which resembled a giant shield laid flat. He could feel a heavy, oppressive atmosphere coming from them.

"This is Tianjia City."

Zou Yun laughed heartily and said, "What do you think? Impressive, right?"

Su Yu nodded.

"Although Tianjia City isn't outrageously large, the sheer presence of it is probably one of the greatest sights on the Douluo Continent," Zou Yun remarked. He had seen many city gates before, but the design and the impact of this one was unlike anything else.

"There are plenty of such places on the Douluo Continent. The Extinction Valley in the Sun Moon Empire, the Frost Town in the far north... all of them leave an unforgettable impression. Traveling with a convoy, you'll get a chance to see places like these."

After learning about Su Yu's talent, Zou Yun was even more enthusiastic.

"Oh, by the way, Little Su, in a month, we have a mission to Frost Town. You should come along then; I'll show you around."

Su Yu nodded, his gaze scanning the surroundings.

Inside Tianjia City, there was a feeling of unease growing in him. 

This sensation came from his martial soul, from deep within his heart. 

The source of it, at its core, was related to his life attribute.

Something was causing his Blue Silver Grass, which represented his ultimate life force, to feel unsettled, triggering discomfort.

"Evil Soul Master?" 

If it was indeed an Evil Soul Master, they likely wouldn't be an ordinary one.

Other than Wang Yue, whom he encountered when he first arrived in this world, Su Yu hadn't truly encountered an Evil Soul Master up until now.

"Little Su, you stay here at the inn. We'll go confirm the details of the cooperation with the Tianjia Merchant Guild." 

Zou Yun didn't bring Su Yu along, leaving him at the inn while he and a few elders went to meet with the head of the Tianjia Merchant Guild.

Once Zou Yun left, Su Yu didn't stay at the inn. 

Evil Soul Masters weren't something Su Yu had any grand ambition to eliminate all of. 

But if he came across one, and it was safe to do so, he wouldn't hesitate to strike them down.

After all, every family member from his previous life had been murdered by Evil Soul Masters.

Su Yu followed his senses and arrived at a dilapidated alley. 

The thick, nauseating smell of blood was overwhelming. 

"Who's there?" 

His presence disturbed the one feasting in the alley, and the voice that questioned him was laced with anger.

"Hm? A little brat? And a Soul Master, too?" 

The annoyance in the voice soon gave way to an increasingly savage and excited expression. 

Su Yu could clearly see what was happening behind him. A surge of anger rose in his chest. 

The man had swallowed a living person whole.

"Heh heh heh, little brat, it's your bad luck for running into me."

A dark, blood-scented shadow materialized behind the blood-soaked man, and five soul rings appeared: one white, two yellow, one purple, and one black. 

Soul King! 

"A Soul King Evil Soul Master!" 

A Soul Master who reached the level of Soul King was not something easily killed. 

This was the conclusion Su Yu had heard from Kong Deming.

The soul ring configurations of Evil Soul Masters were never normal. 

They were either extremely low-level or outrageously absurd. 

True Evil Soul Masters who had perfectly matched soul rings like ordinary Soul Masters were almost nonexistent.

"What a rich life force! I've decided—I'll turn you into my blood slave!" 

The blood-soaked man's perverted voice was repulsive. 

Blood slave? 

When Su Yu heard this term, his anger flared, but he also grew more cautious. 

The appearance of a blood slave usually meant that the Evil Soul Master had a backup plan in place. 

Su Yu released his soul rings one by one. 

Three purple, one black, one red, and one orange. 

The completely illogical and beyond comprehension soul ring combination made the blood-soaked man's pupils constrict sharply. 

A red soul ring! 

And one with an even more terrifying aura—a soul ring of orange! 

Moreover, the first three soul rings were completely unreasonable! 

Even within the sect, who other than the Sect Leader could have a first soul ring over a thousand years old? 

My God! 

What kind of terrifying being is this? 

The second purple soul ring glowed. 

"Second Soul Skill: Purple Moon Purification!" 

Su Yu wasted no time and immediately used his second soul skill. 

Massive life force surged from within him, rushing toward the blood-soaked man's mouth like a ferocious beast from the abyss. 

The overwhelming sense of pressure and the lethal threat made the blood-soaked man feel a deep chill. 

But at the same time, that immense life force was so tempting, like the most delicious food. 

The ultimate life force, under the influence of the purification power, was extremely effective at suppressing evil. As it touched the blood-soaked man, he screamed in agony, his screams laced with fear. 

"Damn, damn! What is this?!"

How could life force be like this? 

What kind of dark magic is this? 

Having consumed life force for most of his life, the blood-soaked man was encountering something new—his very life force was dissolving. 

It was like ice meeting fire, but no, it was even faster than that. 

Soul power, martial soul, and every part of his body were being consumed. 

There was no escape. 

Before he knew it, the area around him was filled with Blue Silver Grass, completely sealing off his surroundings. The blood-soaked man perished amid his desperate screams. 

Su Yu withdrew his martial soul. 

The blood-soaked man died, leaving behind a token and a soul-guided storage ring.

Su Yu approached to examine the two items.

"These Evil Soul Masters really deserve to die." 

Elder Yi sighed from within Su Yu's sea of consciousness. 

"These are the souls of the innocent people killed by this man." 

The souls were sealed within the token.

Just a brief thought, and Su Yu immediately understood their purpose.

Having researched this much, he could naturally comprehend what was happening. 

This was a method to enhance the age of soul rings. 

The fundamental process of increasing a soul ring's age was by enhancing one's spiritual energy. However, this was not a simple task. In fact, if one did not follow the correct method, even a Soul Master might never achieve any noticeable results in their lifetime.

The most direct and brutal method was to forcibly absorb external spiritual energy, or consume external spiritual substances. 

Souls, were one such substance. 

"That must be the Evil Soul Master of the Spirit Hall." 

Su Yu knew that the Spirit Hall had methods for enhancing soul ring years, and now he had confirmed the source of that technique.

The Evil Soul Masters would violently plunder souls, forcibly absorb their spiritual energy, and then fuse it into their soul rings.

With Elder Yi's help, Su Yu freed the souls trapped within the token. 

As the souls dissipated, the token shattered. 

Su Yu felt a surge of energy enter his body.

"This is the faith contributed to you by those souls after they were freed. I tried to channel it, and indeed, it can enhance your soul ring years. I didn't expect the power of faith in the Douluo Plane to be this easily manipulated."

Faith?

If faith could be used to enhance spiritual energy and extend soul ring years… Su Yu's dark thoughts about the cruelty of the Spirit Hall grew more severe.

Sigh, some people with no conscience are everywhere in the world.

The storage soul-guided device contained no valuable items, so Su Yu destroyed everything, leaving only some rare metals behind.

"I've killed this guy, so the other Evil Soul Masters are probably on alert now." 

But it didn't matter—none of them would escape.

Using the Blue Silver Grass's sensing ability, Su Yu tracked down the hidden Evil Soul Masters and eliminated them one by one. 

The purifying power of his second soul skill, combined with the ultimate life attribute of his soul power, had an overwhelming effect on the Evil Soul Masters. 

In some cases, it was so overpowering that it could reverse the effects.

After feeling a new presence, Su Yu erased any traces of the battle and immediately left.

"Where are they?"

A middle-aged man, using a flying soul-guided device, arrived and landed outside the secluded alley. He observed the purple-black blood on the ground and fell into deep thought.

"An Evil Soul Master has appeared?"

However, it seemed that another Evil Soul Master had been killed.

Tianjia let out a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, an unknown powerful individual had appeared and eliminated the threat. Otherwise, Tianjia City would have been in turmoil for a while.

The panic caused by Evil Soul Masters was incredibly destructive to any city.

As the lord of Tianjia City, the city's operation was something he had to consider carefully.

Especially since Tianjia City was located on the border, its development was already lacking.

If news of Evil Soul Masters running rampant spread, the already dwindling population of Tianjia City might be halved.

"To the senior who just arrived and eliminated the hidden threat to Tianjia City, Tianjia is deeply grateful."

Tianjia bowed slightly in the air, expressing his gratitude before leaving the scene.

He sensed another surge of soul power, almost identical to the previous one. Tianjia's heart tightened, and he hurried to investigate.

"Another Evil Soul Master has been eliminated."

He furrowed his brows, feeling uneasy.

Was there more than one Evil Soul Master infiltrating the city?

"Another one?!"

Tianjia was now truly alarmed.

One or two Evil Soul Masters weren't too concerning, but if a group of them showed up, the risk of a city-level disaster was very real.

Evil Soul Masters were ruthless and unpredictable, and they rarely trusted one another. In fact, most of the time, they didn't even know each other.

Except for one case.

That would be Evil Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall.

Evil Soul Masters from the same organization might be assigned the same mission, and thus cooperate.

There had been multiple incidents of Evil Soul Masters massacring entire cities throughout the history of the Douluo Continent, which was why Tianjia was so anxious.

When he arrived at the scene, there was nothing to be seen, but Tianjia's expression grew even more serious.

He soon felt the familiar surge of soul power again, this time from another location.

After losing track five times in a row, Tianjia's mood grew even worse.

Five Evil Soul Masters!

Upon focusing more intently, Tianjia realized that the fifth one was a Soul Emperor-level figure!

That was the most alarming thing.

A five-member Evil Soul Master team, including a Soul Emperor, had entered Tianjia City!

Just thinking about it made Tianjia break into a cold sweat.
