Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

"One of our scouts discovered hundreds of miles of corpses deep in the forest," Guo said, pointing to where the other experts were sitting. "You can ask the scout unit leader for details."

A middle-aged man dressed in magnificent robes, seemingly woven from shimmering gold threads, stood up. His striking attire made him shine like a bright star in a dark, starless night.

"Just as Brother Guo said, my men found dozens of Jintian disciples who had been killed there."

His voice was very soft, more suited to a girl than a man. William frowned. He had indeed killed Jin Tian disciples, but only nine, not dozens.

In addition, the head of the academy's scout department also seems to have connections with Guo and the Bronze Lizard Clan.

"What evidence is there to prove that our son William was the one who did this?"

At this moment, another elderly man whom William had never seen before stood up, speaking in an aggressive tone. This man not only defended William but also addressed him as "our son," instead of calling him "the porter" as the others had.

"The scout who found the body said he saw him lurking nearby." The head of the scout unit was not surprised by the old man's tough attitude.

"Did they see him kill them with his own hands?" the principal asked, trying to prevent unnecessary trouble from arising in the meeting.

“This is another matter to discuss.” Old Guo’s tone was cunning, his face full of wickedness. “The scout team also spotted a large group of black-clad disciples from Jintian Academy. They also discovered that some of them used the infamous forbidden techniques of Dark Soul Masters, and the Sam brothers can confirm this.”

The one named Sam, dressed in a wedding gown, is the leader of the reconnaissance department.

Guo added, “Before drawing conclusions, we must think deeply about this. What facts do we have here? First, this porter had absolutely no ability to defend himself, yet he not only escaped death in the forest, but also was followed by Sam Brothers' scout squad, who saw him walking under the protection of those infamous, filthy dark soul masters, and then they handed over these two spies, these two girls, to him to take back to our base. The Academy.”

"We demand justice from Jin Tian, ​​the traitor, the agent of the Dark Soul Master!" Sam suddenly shouted, and many old men stood up and shouted the same words.

William frowned. He didn't know how this information had reached the Bronze Lizard Clan and the others, but it had certainly created this situation. He was certain he had thoroughly scouted the area in the forest, but found nothing.

He couldn't sense its presence at all. And this wasn't limited to the area around the battle, but also included everything he had been to before arriving here.

In other words, there was a higher and stronger Soul Master present, watching him kill those filthy Golden Heaven Academy disciples.

William knew that Lao Guo and his allies were distorting what had happened, adding more pungent details to the events that truly led to his demise. Amidst all these lies, the fact that he met, fought, and killed the Jin Tian disciples was paramount.

He did indeed obtain Lina and Tina from Jin Tian's disciples, but his methods were completely different from the nonsense that Lao Guo, Sam, and others had spouted.

Putting it all together, William could only explain it this way: a powerful dark spirit witnessed his actions and reported it to Guo. Since the bronze lizard was a traitor in William's eyes, the matter became easier to explain.

What puzzled William was that if there was such a powerful dark soul master by his side, why didn't that guy just attack and kill him and the two girls instead of going through all this trouble?

“We need more evidence before making such dangerous statements.” The old man, who had stood up earlier, stood up again, his tone filled with pure hatred and extreme hostility.

William wanted to thank the elder for standing up for him. William didn't know the elder's identity, but he could tell how sincere and concerned the old man was about his safety.

“There were two girls with him,” Guo snorted. “Moreover, the scouts saw him take a storage ring from a murdered disciple, a gift from those dark soul masters. The famous emblem of the Lokos family—it’s so easy to incite war and conflict between our academies. Isn’t all of this enough evidence of the crimes he committed?”

"We demand justice for the Dark Soul Master's agent and that traitor!" another shout rang out. William was now certain of his earlier suspicions: someone must have seen and observed him during his fight with the Rokos children.

He now realized the crime he had committed. He had to admit that he never imagined that what he had done in the forest would so quickly backfire on him.

Even though he had to face such a fabricated charge, he did not regret what he had done!

William showed no panic or regret, but instead focused on contemplating the chaotic situation. All of this had occurred because that powerful Soul Master had been spying on his every move.

But why didn't that man intervene back then to stop him from killing them? Why didn't he go out and kill him and the two girls later?
