Chapter 213: Increasingly Twisted

Chapter 213: Increasingly Twisted

Having nearly settled all affairs of the Body Sect, Du Qianjue suddenly remembered Tang Ya, the unfortunate girl who had been brought to the Body Sect four years ago. It might be more appropriate to call her a young woman now, as she was nineteen years old by this time.

"You've finally come, Young Sect Master. Four years, do you know how I've managed these four years?" Lang Ya complained with a pained expression. For four continuous years, he had used his mental power non-stop to suppress Tang Ya's consciousness, keeping her subdued while constantly monitoring to prevent her from becoming mentally debilitated, which could turn her into an actual fool. Four years had passed, and while Tang Ya was fine, Lang Ya himself was nearly mentally exhausted. The longer he sustained the mental suppression, the more he had to ensure Tang Ya's safety, keeping his mental power highly strained. In this state, Lang Ya even broke his own limits and advanced to a Titled Douluo. He wasn't sure whether to cry or laugh about this development.

"Cough, cough... I'm sorry, Elder Lang Ya. These past few years, I've indeed been busy enhancing my cultivation and have somewhat neglected your situation," Du Qianjue responded with a slightly embarrassed look, acknowledging that what he had done was indeed somewhat unscrupulous.

Arriving at the residence where Tang Ya lived, Du Qianjue asked Lang Ya to lift the four-year-long mental suppression.

As Lang Ya's mental force withdrew, a flicker of dark blue light flashed across Tang Ya's eyes, and her calm face suddenly contorted. Murder, anger, sorrow, madness... a mix of emotions swirled in her eyes, and the fluctuations in her soul power abruptly intensified.

"Calm down," Du Qianjue simply glanced at her, his powerful mental force instantly calming her negative emotions. With her negative emotions suppressed, Tang Ya's eyes also cleared.

"Where is this? I feel like I've had a very long dream..." Tang Ya, regaining consciousness, was still a bit groggy and became alert as she gradually took in her surroundings.

"Who are you? Where am I now?"

"This, Miss Tang, welcome. This is the Body Sect, and I am Du Qianjue, the Young Sect Master of the Body Sect," Du Qianjue greeted her with a slight smile, stepping aside to reveal Lang Ya behind him.

"Do you remember what happened before your consciousness fell into darkness?"

The Body Sect...

How could Tang Ya not have heard of the Body Sect, once as renowned as the Tang Sect? As for what happened before...

Tang Ya furrowed her brows, trying to recall what had occurred before she lost consciousness. All she could remember was her frenzied slaughter and an endless desire to devour.

"No... No! That was me? How could that be me?!" Tang Ya's eyes filled with pain. As her memories grew clearer, the evil intent in her eyes began to rise.

Even behind her, dark blue massive vine shadows appeared.

The Dark Blue Silver King.

After fully unleashing the devouring attribute of her martial soul, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass had evolved into the Dark Blue Silver King, a leap from the weak Blue Silver Grass to a top-tier martial soul.

"It seems you remember now," Du Qianjue nodded lightly.

"This man behind me is Lang Ya, an elder of the Body Sect, and naturally, your savior."

"A savior? I don't understand…" Tang Ya held her head, resisting the throbbing pain, her voice filled with confusion.

"No, you should understand quite clearly," Du Qianjue grinned strangely, "You know exactly what has happened to you. Isn't that right, Miss Tang Ya, the last sect leader of the Tang Sect, who has become a wicked soul master?"

Tang Ya's eyes widened in shock and confusion.

"No, I am not! I am the sect leader of the Tang Sect, a student of Shrek Academy, not some wicked soul master!" Tang Ya screamed in panic.

Seeing Tang Ya's desperate and disheveled state, Du Qianjue found her surprisingly... pleasing to the eye?

Good heavens, after nearly twenty years in the Douluo Continent, he felt his own character had been corrupted by this world, becoming increasingly twisted.

Du Qianjue 's expression briefly flickered unnaturally, but he quickly returned to a broadly smiling demeanor.

"Perhaps you once were not, but the moment you massacred the Ironblood Sect in Heaven Dou City, you became a true wicked soul master, Miss Tang Ya," Du Qianjue's smile grew more sinister, his tone chilling, "The souls of the Ironblood Sect have become nourishment for your martial soul. Look at your Blue Silver Grass; is it still Blue Silver Grass? Every leaf reeks of blood."

With each word from Du Qianjue, Tang Ya's fear intensified, and by the time he finished, her mental defenses had completely collapsed.

She became utterly despondent, her face filled with despair.

Already on the brink of mental collapse due to long-term suppression by Lang Ya and the awakening of her evil martial soul's origin, Du Qianjue's words were the final push, shattering her last vestiges of belief.

"Miss Tang Ya, you wouldn't want the whole Douluo Continent to know that the last sect leader of the Tang Sect has become a wicked soul master, would you?"

"Can you save me?" Tang Ya's eyes, filled with pain, now held a glimmer of hope. She hadn't noticed the sinister smile on Du Qianjue's face.

To her, as long as she could avoid becoming a wicked soul master, anything was acceptable.

"Of course, saving you is not difficult, but what can you offer in return for my help?" Du Qianjue looked at Tang Ya nonchalantly, his words measured.

Tang Ya, grasping at straws, stumbled forward and clutched his legs, her voice filled with pleading, "Please, please save me, I don't want to become a wicked soul master! Whatever you ask of me, I'll do!"

"Anything?" Du Qianjue leaned down, his mouth close to Tang Ya's ear, his words temptingly devilish.

"Yes, anything!" Tang Ya cried out in despair, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Du Qianjue straightened up, looking down at Tang Ya, who was as insignificant as an ant at his feet, his smile turning terrifying.

"That's more like it..."
