Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 540 The Future of the Evil Soul Master

Looking at the sleeping children in front of him, Ye Guyi's expression changed.

The cold aura emanating from them made her feel uncomfortable instinctively, but her reason kept warning her that they were not evil soul masters with heinous crimes, and had not been contaminated by evil. They were just ordinary children.

The idea proposed by Huo Yuhao was like a ray of light that illuminated a new path for her, allowing her to finally resolve her conflicting feelings.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask in confusion: "Why are you here? Weren't you still in Shrek before?"

Ye Guyi's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he lowered his head and whispered, "I...left Shrek, and then I felt the aura of the evil soul master on the road, and happened to discover their conspiracy, so I searched all the way here."

She did not give the specific reason for her departure, and then asked: "What are you going to do with these children next?"

"I have already notified the people of the Douling Empire. They will send people here soon to send these children back to their parents first, and then find a reason to convince their parents to send the children to me before the unified martial spirit awakens."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and added, “The reason is that there is a newly opened spirit master academy that needs students. For families like theirs that have average financial conditions but talented children, tuition and living expenses can be waived, and there are even scholarships.”

Most of the children abducted by the Holy Spirit Church around this border city come from ordinary families. If a child's martial soul mutates and becomes a soul master, it means a class leap, and I believe no family will refuse.

And it does not mean that these children will be forced to be separated from their parents. If their parents are willing, they can move to the Sun-Moon Empire together.

At that time, Huo Yuhao would pay attention to the spirit awakening ceremonies of these children. Skeletons, liches, bone dragons... no matter what their spirits were, they would not be labeled as evil spirit masters, and no one would realize that they were evil spirit masters.

Ye Guyi nodded, but then a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But the parents of many of them have been killed."

Anyway, these children have no background, and for the efficiency-oriented Holy Spirit Church, their parents have no value in existence. The children can be brainwashed directly, and there is no need to threaten them with their parents.

Huo Yuhao fell silent after hearing this. He glanced at the boy and said slowly, “Let’s wait for the Dou Ling people to come and confirm. If their parents are still alive, let them go back and reunite with their parents first. As for the orphans, I will take them away directly.”

With Huo Yuhao's advance notice, the guards in the city quickly arranged for people to rush to the suburbs. They took the sleeping children back and checked in the surrounding villages for any information about missing children.

Most of the children had no memory of how they were kidnapped, or were too frightened to ask for any useful information, so they could only search slowly.

Several children were taken home by their parents while they were sleeping, but the vast majority still need to wait for a response.

Huo Yuhao did not hold much hope for this. He speculated that the parents of those children must have met with an accident.

Because if their children were missing, there was no need to wait for the guards to investigate, the parents would be anxious to find them. And if so many children were missing, the villagers would definitely gather together and mobilize a large force.

However, he used mental detection to scan the surrounding villages and towns, and did not see any such phenomenon of mobilizing a large force to look for someone.

The Douling patrol was still investigating. Huo Yuhao wrote down the names of the children who had been taken away and planned to send someone to pick them up later. As for himself, he was ready to leave for the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Noticing that he was about to leave, Ye Guyi hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"I have some things to deal with in the Heavenly Soul Empire." Huo Yuhao answered casually, "Aren't you going back to Shrek?"

"I..." Ye Guyi replied after a moment of silence, "I should go back to Mingdu." She was not from the Douling Empire, but she came here by accident after leaving Shrek City.

Huo Yuhao brought the news of the complete destruction of the Holy Spirit Church, which made Ye Guyi feel a little at a loss for a moment, because she didn't know where to go after the evil soul master disappeared. After thinking about it, she realized that the place she was most familiar with and had lived the longest was Mingdu of the Sun and Moon Empire, and she herself was also a sixth-level soul master.

“Oh, Mingdu is fine.” Huo Yuhao said casually, “If you want to join the royal family and Sun Moon Academy, you can just say my name.”

"Regarding the newly opened academy I just mentioned, if you are interested, you can come and take a look."

After saying this, he did not try to persuade Ye Guyi and left on his own.

Ye Guyi fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Young strong men like Ye Guyi are extremely welcome by all major forces, and these strong men also need to rely on forces to obtain more training resources. Previously, she was trained by the Pingfan League as a secret weapon to deal with the Xishui League. Now she will never get involved with those underground forces again.

The royal family and the Sun and Moon Academy are both very good choices for Ye Guyi. However, to join such a behemoth, strength alone is not enough, and reliability is also required. Only the strong people who are well-known and cultivated by Ye Guyi are the real confidants who can participate in decision-making and management. The strong people hired from outside are at best high-level thugs.

  But is Huo Yuhao so prestigious that all he needs to do is report his name?

"A newly opened academy?" Ye Guyi muttered, blinking in confusion and curiosity, before he realized that it didn't seem to be an excuse made up by Huo Yuhao.

While she was still planning for the future, Huo Yuhao had already entered the territory of the Tianhun Empire.

Alex sighed slowly: "Such a young family has suffered such a huge change. If it weren't for your guidance, Yuhao, they would definitely become evil soul masters under the brainwashing of the Holy Spirit Church. And they would be darker and more bloodthirsty than those evil soul masters.

"Some people who have experienced evil firsthand will swear to become the enemy of evil. But many more people with weak minds will only be assimilated by evil and return their own experiences a thousand times to others."

Huo Yuhao said calmly: "This is all I can do. Their parents' souls have probably dissipated, and there is no way for them to see their parents again."

"If they grow up normally, then everything will be fine. But if they show any signs of becoming evil soul masters, I will nip them in the bud."

Alex added: "However, these children are your natural helpers. Their martial spirits do have stronger soul power to a certain extent."

Huo Yuhao asked: "You mean, they can also learn undead magic?"

Alex shook his head: "Without your spiritual power level, they can't learn much, but it's enough to master the basics. Like spiritual attribute soul masters, they can also learn to share soul ring contracts."

Huo Yuhao nodded with some relief after hearing this.

If the sharing of spirit rings is fully implemented in the future, the status of the middlemen will rise sharply, which will be a great benefit to those potential evil spirit masters.

Firstly, they have a respected social status and will no longer be condemned by everyone as before. Secondly, with a specialized profession, the development of combat will be reduced, allowing them to gradually ignore the evil nature of their martial arts.

The journey of thousands of miles did not take too long for Huo Yuhao now. While he was thinking, he had already passed through the Gate of the Dead and arrived at his destination.

He has been to this secret place on earth, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, several times.
