Douluo Continent: Who says evil soul masters can't achieve sainthood through merit?

"The Phantom Fox has approximately four hundred years of cultivation."

Ye Guyi recognized the type of the soul beast at a glance, and was overjoyed. She quickly said, "Although it is a variant of the mental attribute and not a pure mental attribute, it is still a top-grade first soul ring."

She didn't act immediately, but observed the situation first.

The Phantom Fox is known for creating illusions; although its attack power is not strong, it is extremely cunning.

However, the one in front of us seemed to be injured, and its movements were somewhat slow.

Ye Guyi quietly retreated and returned to Huo Yuhao's side, whispering a few words of advice.

Huo Yuhao nodded and gripped the short knife in his hand tightly.

Ye Guyi attracted Phantom Fox's attention from the front, while Huo Yuhao circled around from the side.

When the Phantom Fox launched a mental attack on Ye Guyi, Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity and stabbed it in the back of the neck.

Without much struggle, Phantom Fox quickly stopped breathing.

A deep yellow spirit ring rose from its corpse and slowly rotated in the air.

"Go, absorb it."

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

Ye Guyi said to Huo Yuhao, "This is a 400-year-old Phantom Fox Soul Ring. Although it's a variant, it should be of great help to you."

Huo Yuhao nodded emphatically, walked to the spirit ring, and sat down cross-legged.

He guided the soul ring into his body, following the method his mother had taught him.

The process went smoothly without any obstacles—the Phantom Fox's spiritual attributes were compatible with his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, and since the Soul Ring's age wasn't too high, it was relatively easy to absorb.

Night quietly fell.

Ye Guyi lit a bonfire between Li Qing and Huo Yuhao.

The flickering firelight illuminated her exquisite and noble face, and also lit up a small patch of forest around her.

She sat between the two, watching warily for every movement in the darkness.

Time passes little by little.

Huo Yuhao had completed the absorption of the spirit ring and was currently immersed in enlightenment, with a faint purple aura emanating from his body.

Li Qing remained enveloped in the white light, with ten golden patterns flowing within it, his aura growing stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes narrowed.

She heard a very faint whooshing sound coming from the depths of the forest on her right.

The sound was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

But her fighting instincts made her react instantly.

He turned around, his soul power erupted, and he completed the task in one smooth motion.

The moment the golden lightsaber was unleashed, two attacks were already upon them.

A giant net composed of countless blue silver grass vines enveloped Li Qing.

The other was a long dragon formed from lightning, roaring and tearing through the air.

"Hmph!" Ye Guyi snorted coldly, unleashing the full power of her Holy Angel Martial Soul.

Golden wings unfurled fully behind her, and holy light surged forth like a tide, colliding fiercely with the two attacks.

boom!

The deafening roar of the energy collision echoed through the night sky.

The Blue Silver Grass vines withered and disintegrated rapidly in the holy light.

The thunderous dragon gradually dissipated in its struggle against the holy light.

However, the power of these two attacks far exceeded Ye Guyi's expectations. Although she blocked them, she was still shaken back three steps, her blood and qi surging.

"Who launched the sneak attack?!" Ye Guyi demanded sharply, her golden eyes blazing with fury.

Two figures slowly emerged from the darkness.

Walking in front was a young man in blue, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tall and handsome figure.

His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and a faint aura of thunder flowed around him.

Half a step behind him was a girl in black, about the same age, with a beautiful face and long hair reaching her waist.

It was Beibei and Tang Ya.

Ye Guyi frowned slightly. She didn't recognize the two people, but judging from their attire and demeanor, they were definitely not ordinary soul masters.

More importantly, their gazes toward Li Qing were filled with undisguised hostility.

Who are you?

Ye Guyi stood with her sword drawn, blocking Li Qing's path, and demanded, "Why did you attack us?"

Beibei stepped forward, her gaze passing over Ye Guyi and locking onto Li Qing—or more precisely, onto the white soul ring with ten golden patterns.

His pupils contracted slightly, clearly shocked by the peculiar spirit ring.

But soon, his expression hardened again.

"Evil Soul Master..."

Beibei's voice was as cold as ice as she replied, "They deserve to die."

Ye Guyi was taken aback at first, then she understood.

The other party was referring to Li Qing—the Black Lotus Martial Soul of Annihilation. Coupled with the strange soul ring he was absorbing, he could easily be mistaken for an evil soul master.

"He's not an evil spirit master!"

Thinking of this, Ye Guyi immediately retorted, her tone firm.

Tang Ya snorted coldly, the Blue Silver Grass in her hand trembling slightly: "This martial soul is evil beyond measure, and it's not even an evil soul master? Do you think we're blind?"

She pointed to the black aura surrounding Li Qing.

That was the aura that naturally overflowed from the Black Lotus Martial Soul when it absorbed the Soul Ring. It was pure and ancient, but to those who did not understand it, it did indeed resemble the evil aura of an evil Soul Master.

"What do you know?"

After Ye Guyi shouted angrily, the golden holy light around him intensified as he explained, "Although his martial soul has a special attribute, it is definitely not the kind of evil martial soul that evil soul masters cultivate through slaughter! He has never indiscriminately killed innocent people; on the contrary, he has always been hunting down real evil soul masters!"

"Hunting evil spirit masters?"

Beibei frowned and scoffed, "Evil Soul Masters hunting other Evil Soul Masters? You think we'd believe that nonsense?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

Ye Guyi raised her voice and retorted, "Right in Mingdu, he saved me and killed three evil soul masters! If he was an evil soul master, why would he do that?"

Tang Ya and Bei Bei exchanged a glance, both of them looking doubtful.

Ye Guyi's words are logically sound, and the Holy Angel Martial Soul she displayed is indeed naturally opposed to the Evil Soul Master.

So if the other party really is an evil spirit master, how could she possibly fight alongside him?

"Maybe……"

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Ya guessed, "Is he trying to seize the cultivation of other evil soul masters?"

"impossible!"

Ye Guyi retorted firmly, "You all saw how he absorbed the spirit ring—it was a sacrifice! If he were an evil spirit master, how could a spirit beast willingly sacrifice itself? Besides…"

She paused, then pointed to the white spirit ring on Li Qing's body: "Have you ever seen a spirit ring like this? Would a demon spirit master's spirit ring look like this?"

Beibei fell silent.

He had never seen a white spirit ring before, much less one with golden patterns on it.

Although the aura emanating from this spirit ring is powerful, it is not evil; on the contrary, it possesses an indescribable sense of purity.

But he still dared not be careless.

Shrek Academy's teachings were deeply ingrained in his mind—better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free when it comes to evil spirit masters.

Moreover, Li Qing's martial soul is indeed full of destructive aura, which is completely opposite to the Holy Angel martial soul with the light attribute.

"anyway…"

Thinking of this, Bei Bei slowly released her martial soul, and three soul rings rose from her feet—two yellow and one purple, the perfect ratio.

"We can't let you leave until we get to the bottom of this. Especially him—"

His gaze locked onto Li Qing again: "The spirit ring he's absorbing is too strange; we must ensure it doesn't become an even greater threat."

Ye Guyi's face darkened.

She could sense that the two people in front of her were both quite strong, and the young man in blue gave her a strong sense of pressure; he was at least a Soul Master, and not just an ordinary one.

If she were to take action, she wasn't confident of victory, especially since she also had to protect Li Qing, who was absorbing the spirit ring, and Huo Yuhao, who had just finished absorbing it and was still comprehending it.

"What if I refuse?" she asked, emphasizing each word.

"Then we have no choice but to take action." Bebe's voice turned cold, and lightning began to gather around him.

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.
