Nearly a month had passed since the tragedy occurred, and the number of guards on the streets had visibly increased, even the places where nobles and officials lived were not spared. From time to time, a group of people could be seen coming in and out of the palace.

Of course, these did not have much impact on Lin Xiao.

He went out almost every night during this month, but after the first night, the group of people pretending to be evil soul masters seemed to have disappeared completely. He did not find any trace of them. Instead, he took this opportunity to become more and more familiar with the cooperation between him and the assassin's soul, and even his mental strength increased a little.

At the gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Lin Xiao, who was not practicing or researching soul guides, appeared here and walked outside.

The weather outside was nice and people were coming and going on the street. After turning two corners, he suddenly stopped.

Two women with the same appearance were standing on the street. Passersby couldn't help but take a second look at them. It was not until they saw Lin Xiao from a distance that they walked towards this side.

Lin Xiao waved his hand, but did not stay there waiting for them to come closer. Instead, he left early and walked into a restaurant not far away.

Only after several people walked into the store and closed the door of the private room did Lin Xiao sit down at the table and look at the two people in front of him.

"The teacher said that someone would come to cooperate with me today, but I didn't expect it to be you two."

Sitting opposite Lin Xiao were the sisters Wu Yun and Wu Yu. Looking at the sunlight coming through the window, Wu Yun seemed a little uncomfortable and moved slightly to hide in the shade.

"Please rest assured, we have both grown a lot over the years."

"I'm not talking about your strength. The fact that they were able to send people from headquarters shows that the Holy Church takes this matter very seriously." Lin Xiao glanced at Wu Yun's actions, then subtly withdrew his gaze. "Why did you go straight to the street instead of to the branch temple? Do you want me to take you there later?"

Wu Yun shook his head and looked out the window. "We'll go back after we finish this. We won't stay in Mingdu for too long, so we don't need to know the location of the branch altar, otherwise we'll be easily exposed."

"Alright." Lin Xiao glanced at Wu Yun's expression and didn't continue the discussion. "Then I'll take you to find a place to stay near the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. We'll leave together tonight."

"it is good."

The box was quiet for a moment. After a moment of silence, Lin Xiao suddenly seemed to think of something and took out a small bag from the storage soul guide.

"By the way, here are some gold soul coins. It's still a while before dark, so after you find a place to stay, you can go wander around the city. You can also buy some if you need anything."

"No thanks." Wu Yun quickly waved his hand and refused. "We don't lack anything, and we saved some gold soul coins from helping the church before."

"Take it. These are nothing to me. Tonight's plan may not succeed. If that group of people are not lured out, you will probably have to stay here for a while." Lin Xiao threw the purse on the table and laughed. "Besides, things in Mingdu are quite expensive."

"Thank you." Wu Yun stared at the purse on the table for a moment, then glanced out the window before carefully putting it away and saying thank you.

"No need." Lin Xiao looked at the two sisters in front of him and sighed slightly, "Do you know why headquarters sent you here?"

Sisters Wu Yun and Wu Yu shook their heads together. "No, they said we just need to go there and follow their orders."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao had many doubts in his mind.

This matter had already caused quite a stir. Even if the Holy Spirit Church didn't take it seriously, they had still sent people from headquarters. Although Wu Yun and Wu Yu weren't particularly strong, their talents were quite good and they would definitely become core members of the church in the future.

But if it is really taken seriously, this matter will fall on the heads of disciples like Lin Xiao. During this period, he has discovered that there are other disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect who are also taking action besides him, but he has not seen those with higher cultivation. He does not know if there are other things behind this.

Seeing Lin Xiao lost in thought, Wu Yun and Wu Yu did not bother him much, but just quietly savored the food on the table.

Lin Xiao glanced at them and stopped thinking about it. The Holy Spirit Church sending them to help him was definitely not a suicide mission. If the church's higher-ups had other plans, that wasn't something he should consider.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Xiao did not enter into meditation as usual, but instead flipped through the storage soul guide and checked the other soul guides on his body.

Although he was acting as a member of the Holy Spirit Church, he shouldn't reveal too many traces of soul guides. Otherwise, most of the soul guides on him were made by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, and it would be easy for people to see the clues.

But when it comes to life and death, who will care about these things?

When it was getting dark outside, Lin Xiao walked out of the academy. There were still some students at the door who were walking back at this time.

"Look, I told you it's very lively in the city. If you don't go out normally, you won't be able to see such beautiful things."

Two students walked side by side to the door, and one of them was chattering something to the person next to him.

Lin Xiao's gaze lingered on them for a moment, then quickly shifted away.

However, the student had noticed Lin Xiao's gaze and glanced at him.

"Hey Orange, are you listening to me? Teacher Xuan is already boring enough. If you don't say anything, I'm going to be so anxious in the academy."

"Okay, Keke, I'm listening, but it's better for you to come back early. Haven't you heard about what happened outside Mingdu recently?"

"I'm afraid of what they might do. I don't believe those evil soul masters dare to come to Mingdu."

Orange laughed and shook his head silently.

"be careful."

Lin Xiao passed by the two of them and seemed to hear a whisper in his ears.

"Juzi, what did you just say?" The petite student next to Juzi looked at her.

"No, did you hear it wrong?"

Of course, he hadn't misheard. Lin Xiao had heard the conversation between the two clearly, and knew that the voice just now was not an illusion.

Chapter 94 Hand of Death

A few streaks of light streaked across the night sky, illuminating the scattered villages on the ground. The people in the villages had long been accustomed to these things. They were not meteors, but soul guides who used flying soul guides to travel.

"Brother, everyone in and outside Mingdu has been discussing this matter these past few days. Isn't it too risky to take action tonight?"

In the darkness, a voice sounded quietly.

"Hmph." He was met with a cold snort in response. "You ignored my advice a few days ago, and now you're scared?"

"Brother, money has been a little tight these days, and I can't let my brothers go hungry all the time, so..."

"Alright, stop explaining." The deep voice in the darkness interrupted. "Luckily, you didn't cause any serious trouble. This isn't entirely a bad thing. No one would have thought we would take action when the situation was tense, and specifically target Mingde Hall."

Hearing the words "Mingde Hall," everyone in the darkness breathed a little faster. That was the famous Mingde Hall on the mainland. They had accomplished something truly remarkable.

"coming."

With a light shout, everyone in the darkness suddenly quieted down. Soon, a beam of light rose from the ground and rushed straight towards the streams of light in the sky. The dazzling light exploded in the air like fireworks.

Although the attack did not directly fall on those people, the aftermath of the explosion still caused the surrounding airflow to vibrate continuously, and the flying soul guides were also greatly affected. The figures flying in the air fell visibly.

Those people in the air were also quite experienced and did not panic at all. As several lights appeared on their bodies, they quickly adjusted their bodies.

However, as they focused on adjusting their bodies, their vigilance towards the surroundings naturally decreased a lot, and the attacks from the shadows easily penetrated their defenses.

"Hold steady and get out of here at full speed!"

As a figure fell from the sky, the man in the lead immediately shouted loudly, and the light of the flying soul guide behind him became brighter, carrying his figure forward.

However, when another "firework" lit up in the air, the chaotic air currents around him rushed towards him, and the flying soul guide behind him vibrated violently, causing his body to tremble continuously.

I looked down at the ground, but saw nothing in the darkness.

Who on earth could have a soul guide that could affect a flying soul guide?

However, his doubts were destined to go unanswered. A sharp pain came from his body, and the soul power in his body rapidly dissipated. Even the flying soul guide was unable to control it.

"Brother, this thing is really useful, where did you get it from?"

"Hmph, don't worry about that. Clean up the scene quickly. Once we get this batch of goods, we'll head south immediately, pass through the port, take a boat and sneak across to the Xingluo Empire to sell these things."

"Brother, why don't you sell them before leaving? It will be difficult to pass the inspection with these things."

"These are what Mingde Hall needs. If we sell them here, we'll be easily targeted by others. The people at the port are much easier to fool. Besides, these things will be much more valuable in the Xingluo Empire than here. They will be enough for us to live comfortably for a while."

"Quick, stop talking. I'm going to go find something, and you guys set up the scene."

"Yes!"

The robbers responded in unison, and the one who had just spoken turned and ran in the direction where the people fell, looking for their bodies.

However, when he parted the grass, he did not find the body, but instead saw a cluster of flowers of strange colors, which seemed to be glowing faintly in the night.

"What is this?"

The robber muttered to himself, reached out to push aside the flowers, and the next moment, he let out an involuntary cry of surprise.

"What's all the fuss about?"

Someone nearby noticed his action and turned to look over there. However, this glance made his expression change.

He did see the corpse that had just fallen from the sky, but in that short period of time, the corpse was covered with bright flowers.

The elegant fragrance of flowers covered the bloody smell of the corpse, and even death became much calmer.

"What the hell is this?"

Several screams were heard from all directions, and it was obvious that more than one robber noticed something was wrong.

There was a brave man who was ready to step forward and pluck the flowers from the corpses, but the moment he started, he realized something was wrong.

"Oh no, get away from these corpses!"

However, this sound was a little too late. The moment he opened his mouth, the corpses falling everywhere suddenly swelled up and then exploded violently.

The violent soul power swept the air flow and spread to the surroundings. The robbers who were close to the corpse were blown to pieces in an instant. The sound of the explosion and the screams spread far away.

"who?"

The leader of the robbers had not yet found what he wanted when an explosion behind him made him stand up instantly and turn his head. The blood-red light filled his entire vision.

"You've been playing evil spirit masters for so long, how come you don't recognize us when you see us in person?"

A vague sound was heard, and a dark figure slowly walked out from the blood. When the figure passed by, the blood drops on both sides instantly turned into bright flowers that slowly fell from the sky.

The robber leader's expression changed slightly, but he was not too panicked.

"So we are both brothers of the Evil Soul Sect. We are the Hands of Death. May I ask where you come from, brother?"

The Hand of Death?

Lin Xiao's expression under the mask was slightly stunned. He was not unfamiliar with this name, but why were they here?

wrong.

Lin Xiao looked at the seven spirit rings surrounding the leader in front of him and felt a little strange. In his impression, the leader of the Hand of Death was just a spirit king.

Not hearing Lin Xiao's response, the leader's face darkened slightly. "Brother, we were the first to see this batch of goods. As fellow evil spirit masters, we should always follow the principle of first come first served, right?"

Lin Xiao looked around and saw that the other robbers were more or less affected by his previous attack. Some of them died on the spot, and those who survived were also seriously injured.

Facing only a Soul Saint, he was not at all panicked, but just walked forward slowly and leisurely.

"rustle--"

Lin Xiao's footsteps on the grass could be heard, and he was getting closer and closer to the leader.

He didn't want to think about why Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's plan went so smoothly. He had just brought his men closer when he saw them launching an attack. He just needed to deal with the opponent in front of him.
