When Qian Yu left Mingde Hall, he felt several murderous gazes tightly fixed on him...
Coldness flashed through Qian Yu's eyes as his Divine Power quietly spread around him...
In an instant, he perceived the strength of his pursuers—three Soul Emperors and one Soul Sage!
He thought to himself, "I've only been here for two days, and they already can't wait to make a move on me?"
The next moment, his figure vanished from the spot, quickly heading towards the woods behind the dormitory building...
The four figures hidden in the shadows, their eyes emitting a blood-red light, were all dressed in the attire of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy...
One of the Soul Emperors said coldly, "It seems we've been discovered! He's trying to escape!"
Another Soul Emperor rasped, "This is the Royal Academy, what should we do?"
The leading Soul Sage, his crimson pupils filled with intense light, exclaimed angrily, "We chase! We can't let this Qian Yu escape! He is the piece that he values! Even if we have to abduct him, we must take him!"
The other three immediately echoed, "Yes!"
The next moment, the four of them unleashed astonishing Soul Power and charged towards Qian Yu in the distance...
If they failed to complete their mission, their danger would be more than just threats—they could very well lose their lives!
...
"This should be far enough!"
Qian Yu surveyed his surroundings with an icy gaze, not sensing the breath of any Soul Master...
He then turned around, gazing intently at the four figures who were rapidly closing in on him, detected by his senses...
"Swoosh," only the sound of four figures cutting through the wind was heard, and in front of Qian Yu, four shadows had already appeared...
Their blood-red eyes were locked tightly on Qian Yu, with one of them saying chillingly, "This guy deliberately lured us here; he probably has something up his sleeve!"
Another interrupted, "No need to worry, I just released a Wicked Spirit to check the surroundings."
The Soul Emperor on the far left inspected Qian Yu carefully, and when he saw the level 8 Soul Master Insignia on his clothing, he exclaimed in astonishment, "You... look, this... this kid, he's an eighth-level Soul Master!"
The only Soul Sage's pupils became more vigilant, quietly pondering, "He has such talent in the realm of soul tools too? Indeed worthy of being the piece he took an interest in..."
As for Qian Yu, showing not a hint of fear, his cold gaze fixed on the four, "Who are you four? Did you come here specifically to assassinate me?"
An evil aura emanated from these four individuals...
The leading Soul Sage spoke sinisterly, "No, we are here to invite you to join us!"
Qian Yu narrowed his eyes, "Join? Are you members of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
He had believed it was someone from the academy who couldn't resist making a move on him, but it seemed that was not the case...
The fact that these four could infiltrate the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy must have required considerable means.
The leading Soul Sage nodded coldly to the other three...
One by one, they tore off the human skin masks from their faces, revealing terrifying and ferocious visages...
No longer hiding their evil aura, it roared out madly...
Then, in a hoarse voice, they addressed Qian Yu, "That's right! We four are the most loyal members of the Holy Spirit Cult! It seems that you have already received the Sect Hierarch's call!"
"You have been valued by our Sect Hierarch, join us obediently, and your status will only rise. You won't have to worry about being ostracized or targeted by other Soul Masters!"
"The Holy Spirit Cult is the best place for you! We do whatever we want, kill whoever we want to kill!"
```
Qian Yu, upon seeing these four evil Soul Masters speak in sequence as though performing a comedy act, said coldly, "I have no interest in your Holy Spirit Cult. While I'm still in a good mood, scram!"
No sooner had these words come out than the wrath of the four evil Soul Masters was ignited…
"You're asking for trouble, kid!"
"If it weren't for the Sect Hierarch's orders not to kill you, you'd have been dead long ago!"
"I'll give you one last chance. Are you joining or not?"
The look in Qian Yu's eyes turned icy, "Chance? You no longer have any chances."
The next moment, seven golden soul rings brimming with endless might appeared suddenly beneath Qian Yu's feet. The terrifying oppressive force bore down directly on the four men…
That pressure had clearly reached the level of a Titled Douluo. Upon being bombarded, the four men bent over abruptly, coughing up crimson blood…
Under that pressure, their own bodies felt as if they were being crushed by a mountain, utterly unable to move!
One of the evil Soul Masters, striving to control the pounding in his heart, bulged his eyes and glared at Qian Yu, "This… this guy! He's not a Soul Ancestor at all!"
Another, trembling, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face filled with fear as he looked at Qian Yu, "Soul... Soul Sage! He has actually… reached Soul Sage in three years!!"
The evil Soul Master at the level of Soul Sage felt a lump in his throat upon witnessing Qian Yu's dreadful pressure and spoke with an ashen face, "Both Soul Sages…why is he…so terrifying!"
They were clearly Soul Sages too! Yet just using oppressive force was enough to deprive them of their ability to move!
What kind of monster was this guy!
The last evil Soul Master gritted his teeth, "Quick…release your Martial Souls!"
As the words fell, six to seven soul rings slowly emerged beneath the feet of the motionless evil Soul Masters, and terrifying visions of their Evil Martial Souls appeared behind them!!
With their Martial Souls alleviating the pressure they suffered, they began to struggle to their feet…
"Did I tell you to get up? Kneel down!" Qian Yu, watching all this, spoke again.
This short phrase, like a divine edict, doubled the weight of the pressure hitting them!
The four evil Soul Masters' eyes widened, feeling as if their chests had been struck hard. After spurting out another mouthful of liquid mingled with crimson blood foam…
Four consecutive "thuds" were heard…
All of them knelt down neatly on the ground…
As Qian Yu drew closer and closer to them, each person's face went deathly pale, their pupils filled with intense fear and despair…
Qian Yu grasped the throat of the evil Soul Master in the middle, lifting him into the air with one hand, his voice icy, "Speak! Who is your Sect Hierarch?"
The evil Soul Master, whose throat was seized, felt an overwhelming sensation of suffocation filling his head and said with difficulty, "No… no, I won't tell..."
Before he could finish, Qian Yu's expressionless face tightened his grip, and a crisp "crack" was heard…
After giving the evil Soul Master, whose eyes were rolling back in his hand, a casual glance, he threw him aside like trash…
Then, his abyss-like, terrifying dark pupils turned back to the remaining three evil Soul Masters…
"What about you three? Who is the Sect Hierarch?"
The remaining three evil Soul Masters were about to say, "The Sect Hierarch he…"
The next moment, their pupils shrank dramatically, and their bodies "boom!" exploded into a wet Blood Fog…
Qian Yu, expressionless, wiped away the crimson liquid that had splattered onto half of his face…
Said coldly, "No need, I'll go in person!"
