After Zou Yun left, Su Yu did not stay at the inn.
Regarding Evil Soul Masters, Su Yu did not harbor any grand ideals of eradicating all of them.
However, if encountered, he would certainly not let them go if he could safely kill them.
After all, all the relatives of his body's former self were killed by Evil Soul Masters.
Following his intuition, Su Yu arrived at a dilapidated alley.
The intense smell of blood was nauseating.
"Who?"
Su Yu's approach interrupted the meal of the other party, a voice laced with fury demanded.
"Hmm? A little one? And a Soul Master?"
Visibly disturbed, the man's impatient expression gradually twisted into ferocious excitement.
It was evident that he was thrilled.
Seeing the scene behind him, Su Yu felt a surge of fury rise from his heart.
Devouring alive.
He ate a living person.
"Hehehe, little one, it's just your bad luck to run into me."
A shadow emitting an evil and bloody aura emerged behind the bloody man, and five Soul Rings unfurled: one white, two yellow, one purple, and one black.
Soul King!
"A Soul King level Evil Soul Master!"
An Evil Soul Master who managed to reach the Soul King level would undoubtedly be difficult to kill.
This conclusion was something Su Yu had heard from Kong Deming.
The Soul Rings of Evil Soul Masters never matched normal ones.
They were either extremely low or absurdly mismatched.
An Evil Soul Master with a perfect age combination like a normal Soul Master was almost nonexistent.
"Such rich life energy, I've decided, I'll turn you into my Blood Slave!"
The man's perverted voice was revolting.
Blood Slave?
Upon hearing this term, Su Yu was both furious and secretly cautious.
The appearance of a Blood Slave usually signaled another plot by the Evil Soul Master.
Su Yu displayed his own Soul Rings.
Three purple, one black, one red, and one orange.
The completely unconventional and incomprehensible Soul Ring combination made the man's pupils contract violently.
Red ones!
And an orange Soul Ring emitting an even more terrifying aura.
Moreover, those first three Soul Rings were also completely unreasonable—they were unheard of!
Even in the sect, no one besides the Sect Leader had ever seen a first ring over a thousand years!
My heavens!
What kind of terrifying figure is this?
The second purple Soul Ring emitted light.
"Second Soul Skill, Purple Moon Purification!"
Without wasting words, Su Yu directly used his second Soul Skill.
Massive life force surged from within him, seeming like an abyssal beast to the bloody man.
The terrifying pressure and lethal threat made the man shudder.
Yet at the same time, that enormous life force was so tempting, like the most delicious food.
The ultimate life force under the action of purifying power had a strong restraining effect on evil, enveloping him revealed his terrified cries.
"Damn it, damn it! What the hell is this!"
How could life force be like this.
What kind of evil magic is this!
After a lifetime of consuming life force, it was the first time the man encountered life force directly dissolving itself.
Whether Soul Power or anything else, it was like ice meeting fire.
No, even faster than ice meeting fire.
Soul Power, Martial Soul, and every part of the body.
He couldn't escape.
Unknowingly, the surroundings were already covered with Blue Silver Grass, and life force locked down the entire area, causing the man to perish amid screams.
Su Yu withdrew his Martial Soul.
With the man's death, a Token and a Storage Soul-guiding Ring remained on the ground.
Su Yu went forward to check these two items.
"These Evil Soul Masters truly deserve death."
Elder Yi sighed in Su Yu's Sea of Spirit.
"These are the souls of innocent people killed by this man."
The Token sealed those people's souls.
And with a little thought, Su Yu knew what these souls were used for.
He had researched up to this point and naturally understood.
This was used to increase the age of Soul Rings.
The fundamental thing in elevating Soul Rings was the increase in spirituality, which was not so easily nurtured; without the right method, a Soul Master might spend a lifetime yielding no results.
The simplest and most brutal way was to forcibly absorb foreign spirituality or swallow foreign spiritual substances.
Souls are one such substance.
"Those must be Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Sect."
Su Yu realized the Holy Spirit Sect had methods to increase Soul Ring ages, and now he finally confirmed this method's source.
They madly plunder souls, forcibly absorbing these people's spirituality and integrating it into Soul Rings.
With Elder Yi's help, Su Yu released these souls.
The souls dissolved, and the Token also crumbled.
Su Yu felt a surge of energy enter his body.
"This is the faith contributed to you by those souls after their release. I tried to move it, and indeed, it can increase your Soul Ring age.
I never expected that the Power of Faith in the Douluo Plane could be so easily manipulated."
Faith?
If faith could also be used to increase spirituality, extend Soul Ring age...
Thinking of the worst, Su Yu re-evaluated the potential cruelty of the Holy Spirit Sect.
"Alas, there's no shortage of such heartless people in any world."
Within the Storage Soul-guiding Device, there was nothing of value, so Su Yu destroyed all items, leaving only a few rare metals.
"I've already killed this guy; the other Evil Soul Masters will likely be on alert now."
But that's no problem; they can't escape either.
Su Yu relied on the Blue Silver Grass's sensory ability to locate and eliminate the hiding Evil Soul Masters one by one.
The purifying power of the second Soul Skill, paired with Soul Power with Ultimate Life Attribute, had an extremely obvious restraining effect on Evil Soul Masters.
The restraining power could be considered extreme, even capable of reversing against them.
Su Yu felt an aura descend, cleaned up the traces at the scene, and immediately left.
...
"Where is everyone?"
A middle-aged man flew over using a Flying Soul-guiding Device and landed outside the secluded alley, pondering over the sight of purplish-black blood everywhere.
"Did an Evil Soul Master show up?"
But it seemed the Evil Soul Master had already been killed.
Kong De breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, a stranger discovered and killed them; otherwise, the Celestial Armor Sect would have been in chaos for a while.
The panic caused by Evil Soul Masters greatly impacts a city.
As City Lord of Celestial Armor City, he must consider the city's operation.
Especially since Celestial Armor City is on the border, where development isn't thriving.
If news spread of Evil Soul Masters wreaking havoc, the remaining population would likely be halved again.
"To the senior who has just come and helped rid Celestial Armor City of its hidden danger, I, Kong, express my profound gratitude."
Kong De offered gratitude to the area before leaving.
Sensing another surge of Soul Power similar to before, Kong De was immediately alarmed and hurriedly investigated further.
"Another Evil Soul Master was wiped out."
He frowned, feeling uneasy.
Were more than one Evil Soul Master sneaking in?
"Another attack!"
Kong De was completely panicked.
One or two Evil Soul Masters might be manageable, but if a whole bunch appeared, it could genuinely trigger a city-destroying crisis.
Evil Soul Masters are wantonly reckless, swaggering without restraint, trusting no one.
Among them, hardly any know each other.
Except for one circumstance.
That would be the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Sect.
It's possible for Evil Soul Masters from the same organization to perform the same task simultaneously, working together.
Throughout the history of the Douluo Continent, there have been several city massacre disasters caused by Evil Soul Masters, which is why Kong De is so fearful.
Upon arriving at the scene again, there was nothing to be seen, yet Kong De's heart was immensely heavy.
He quickly sensed another place where the aura of that senior was exploding again.
Following five attempts to track, Kong De's mood worsened increasingly.
Five Evil Soul Masters!
Later, when Kong De emphatically focused on sensing, he found that the fifth Evil Soul Master was at the Soul Emperor level!
This was what terrified him the most.
A squad of five Evil Soul Masters, complete with Soul Emperor level, infiltrated Celestial Armor City!
Even imagining this made Kong De sweat coldly.
