Chapter 84: Evil Soul Master

…

"Achoo~"

Zeng Yi couldn't help but sneeze again.

"Meow~"

The cute little cat face of Xiao Ju looked at Zeng Yi and made a puzzled sound.

Seeing Xiao Ju's adorable appearance, Zeng Yi couldn't help but reach out and rub its furry head, smiling lightly, "It's nothing, just eat your food."

Why are people calling me handsome again?

Zeng Yi was puzzled. He had sneezed several times today. Could it be that he was sick? It shouldn't be, right? As a soul master, can he even catch a cold? That's not fantastical.

Or is there something happening to me?

Just like before an earthquake, many creatures would exhibit unusual behavior because they can sense the impending danger. This behavior is what we call a super intuition.

Could it be that I also have this magical ability?

With this thought, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel a little bit pleased, but it quickly dissipated, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

I'm already this old, why am I still so immature, always thinking about random things? Clearly, I was just choked by the taste of pepper.

"Brother! Bring me two more plates of spicy beef steak!" Zeng Yi raised his hand and shouted at the counter.

It had been over half a month since Zeng Yi left Suotuo City. Although he was a bit directionally challenged, it was still easy for him to find a person in a place with people around. Just by asking casually, he could find a small city.

Zeng Yi was currently in a city called Shunding City in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire. Shunding City was a small city that couldn't compare to cities like Suotuo City, and you could walk around and explore the whole city in half a day.

However, the city did have a Soul Hall, albeit the lowest-ranked branch. Although Zeng Yi was being pursued by people from the Soul Hall, he was not worried at all. It was just a lower-ranked branch, and the highest strength of the people stationed there would not exceed the Spirit Master level. Spirit Master? Zeng Yi felt no pressure at all against a Spirit Master-level Soul Master. He even thought about going to this Soul Hall to claim the 100 gold soul coins allowance later.

The only disappointment for Zeng Yi was that this city didn't have a battle arena, which meant he lost a way to earn money.

Currently, Zeng Yi was enjoying a delicious lunch in a restaurant in Shunding City.

"Meow~" Xiao Ju heard Zeng Yi's voice and immediately meowed towards him, seemingly a bit displeased.

"Oh, I forgot that you don't like spicy food. Then, brother, bring me a braised one!" Seeing Xiao Ju's expression, Zeng Yi apologized and then shouted at the waiter.

"No problem!"

A few minutes later, the waiter brought the dishes that Zeng Yi ordered to the table. Smelling the tempting aroma of the food on the table, Zeng Yi immediately picked up his utensils and started eating heartily while Xiao Ju also joined the battlefield.

After a while, a group of people entered the restaurant. There happened to be an empty table behind Zeng Yi, and they sat down right behind him.

After they sat down, they started chatting. Hearing their conversation clearly, Zeng Yi couldn't help but be curious.

"I heard yesterday that there have been evil soul masters appearing recently."

"Evil soul masters? How did those guys appear?" The person's words instantly shocked their friends, and their tone was filled with fear.

"I have a friend who was following a merchant's caravan. Yesterday, he told me that when their caravan was returning, they passed by a village. It was already late at night, and they intended to stay in this village overnight and continue their journey the next day. But do you know what they saw when they entered that village?"

"What did they see?" Their friends couldn't help but ask curiously.

"In that village, there wasn't a single living person, they were all dead. And the way they died was all the same, their bodies were shriveled, like mummies, extremely bizarre."

"So cruel? At least there were more than a hundred people in a village, and not a single one survived?"

"Am I lying to you? My friend saw it with his own eyes. He said that the entire caravan was frightened and immediately fled the village. He has been having nightmares ever since."

"To be honest, hearing you say that, I'm also scared. I feel like I will have nightmares tonight."

"Only those evil soul masters can do such things!" One person said angrily, but in their eyes, there was also a trace of fear. It's clear that they were very wary of evil soul masters.

Evil soul masters? What kind of soul masters are they? Are there evil-type soul masters among soul masters?

Their voices were not small, and Zeng Yi, who was sitting behind, heard everything clearly, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his mind.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what an evil soul master is?" Zeng Yi turned to them and asked.

"Ah!"

The group of people was already discussing scary things, and their moods were tense. When Zeng Yi suddenly asked, they were startled and almost jumped up in fright.

Uh

Zeng Yi was speechless. These big men, even in broad daylight, can be scared like this. If you're so afraid, then don't talk about horror stories!

"Hey, brother, do you have any questions?" One of them turned to look at Zeng Yi and felt a bit embarrassed seeing his gaze.

"Well, I just want to learn more about what an evil soul master is." Zeng Yi said again, then looked at the waiter at the counter and shouted, "Waiter, bring us three jugs of wine!"

This brother is not bad! He's generous!

"Oh, it's just some small questions, you don't have to spend so much." A middle-aged man smiled at Zeng Yi.

"Come, brother, sit here, and I'll explain it to you slowly." The man warmly invited Zeng Yi, making room for him. He saw Zeng Yi's handsome face and clear and deep eyes, with a sense of unruliness, which made people have a good impression of him, not just because of the wine.

Zeng Yi sat down with them, and the wine quickly arrived. The man first poured a full bowl for Zeng Yi, then for himself and his companions.

"Brother, judging by your appearance, you should also be a soul master, right?" After taking a sip of wine, the man couldn't help but smack his lips, then asked Zeng Yi.

"Yes."

"You asked about evil soul masters. They are different from us soul masters. Their training methods often involve killings. They practice through inhumane means, such as absorbing the resentment of the deceased or using human blood as a sacrifice. Their methods are extremely cruel."

"However, these methods can greatly accelerate their training speed and enhance their strength. These evil soul masters are much stronger than soul masters of the same level. And their soul skills and attack methods are also extremely strange and difficult to deal with."

"I have also heard that every soul king among evil soul masters must have killed at least tens of thousands of people to cultivate."

"I have also heard that some people use the hearts of infants for cultivation. Oh my god! That's completely inhumane!"

These people told Zeng Yi what they knew about evil soul masters, and as Zeng Yi learned more, his brows furrowed.

Disgust and anger, these were Zeng Yi's current feelings. If these evil soul masters are truly as they said, then they can no longer be called humans, just beasts in human skin.

Listening to the evils committed by these evil soul masters, Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. The atmosphere around him became icy, and the sharp sword intent was released, making the people around him feel instantly enveloped by a chilling aura, causing their bodies to shiver.

"Brother?"

One person couldn't help but call out to Zeng Yi, who had suddenly emitted such a powerful pressure. Zeng Yi snapped back to his senses, noticing his own problem, and recalled his released aura.

The chilling pressure disappeared, and the people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Zeng Yi with some awe in their eyes.

They did not expect that this brother, who looked so young, had such terrifying strength. Just his aura alone made it hard for them to breathe. It's worth noting that they were all second-ranked great soul masters!

"I'm sorry, I got a bit out of control." Zeng Yi apologized to the people.

"It's okay, hahaha! We never expected you to be so strong, and you actually surprised us." One person laughed and said.

"These evil soul masters are indeed despicable! If I encounter them, I will never let them go!" Zeng Yi said angrily.

"Brother, do you want to pick a fight with them?"

"Yes! Is there a problem?"

"No, evil soul masters are indeed hateful, and they are despised by everyone in the Soul Master world. But the truth is, not many soul masters dare to confront them. Mainly because they are really strong, much stronger than soul masters of the same level. Brother, please don't act rashly!" One of them advised Zeng Yi.

However, Zeng Yi didn't think so. If they're at the same level, even if they're impressive, can they be more impressive than me? Can they withstand a few of my sword attacks?

Heaven Dou Empire, Upper Three Sects, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

At the entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, several disciples were on duty. Suddenly, a strong pressure pressed down on them, causing several disciples who were at the Spirit Master level to be pressed to the ground.

In the next moment, a gloomy and cold voice resounded throughout the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Spirit Hall, Gui, came to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Kekeke..."
