----------------------
As long as I can avenge my wife, child, and father-in-law who died tragically back then—as long as you're not an evil soul master—no matter who you are, my life, Ma Jake's life, will belong to you from now on!
Although the person he was recruiting was only a seventh-grade soul engineer, while the price he had to pay was eliminating a power with a ninth-ring Titled Douluo as its guardian—where the gains were far less than the price, appearing to be a huge loss—Chu Chengzhou didn't refuse.
Perhaps he, Chu Chengzhou, wasn't a good person. He had killed without blinking an eye, and even possessed cultivation techniques that were very suitable for becoming a leader among evil soul masters. But regarding evil soul masters, he had no goodwill whatsoever.
If he hadn't encountered them, that would be one thing, but since he had, destroying them was just a matter of convenience.
The Worship Moon Sect was like rats hiding in the shadows on the Sun-Moon Continent. The locations of their headquarters and important strongholds were naturally unknown to ordinary people—even many low-level Worship Moon disciples didn't know where their headquarters was.
But for Chu Chengzhou, who possessed the supreme illusion art: Void Illusion Realm, finding the Worship Moon Sect's important strongholds and headquarters was the simplest thing in the world.
As long as he found one Worship Moon disciple, with Void Illusion Realm activated and consciousness altered, he could follow the trail layer by layer.
For three consecutive days, traveling to multiple locations, every Worship Moon stronghold that mattered had been completely destroyed by Chu Chengzhou.
Combined with the destruction of the Worship Moon Sect's main headquarters this time, aside from a few small-time players, over forty seventh-ring executives who could be considered high-level core members, eight eighth-ring Soul Douluo elders, one deputy leader who had just entered the ninth ring, and the current Worship Moon Sect leader—whose soul power had reached Level 95 with the title "Blood Moon"—all had been physically eliminated by his various summoned spirits.
It could be said that after experiencing Chu Chengzhou's iron-fisted strike, in just three days, the Worship Moon Sect had regressed from a top-tier power in the Sun-Moon Continent soul master world to an insignificant one. Even the remaining Worship Moon disciples didn't dare to continue operating under the Worship Moon Sect's name.
"Old Ma, do you have anything else to pack up? If not, come back with me!"
Although the original goal hadn't been directly completed, there was now a solution. Continuing to stay on the Sun-Moon Continent served no purpose. Chu Chengzhou was preparing to return to the Douluo Continent.
"Lord, I have nothing to pack up. Just give your orders!"
Ma Jake responded directly.
"Hmm, good! But don't call me Lord—just call me Young Master Chu."
Chu Chengzhou nodded, then waved his hand with a smile.
"Young Master Chu?"
Hearing this, Ma Jake couldn't help but show a look of surprise in his gaze toward Chu Chengzhou.
Although Chu Chengzhou looked very young—like a teenager—in Ma Jake's view, this was only because Chu Chengzhou's strength was formidable and he had mastered the art of preserving youth.
Otherwise, how could someone of mere teenage years cultivate to become a ninth-ring Titled Douluo?
Ma Jake was no small figure in the Sun-Moon Continent soul master world, and he had seen Titled Douluos before. But every Titled Douluo he had met had been at least over sixty years old when they achieved their title.
"Haha, Old Ma, you just haven't seen enough! In terms of age and seniority, you're at least my uncle's generation."
Laughing, Chu Chengzhou explained.
"Hiss~!"
Immediately, Ma Jake sucked in a sharp breath of air. He was so shocked that the glasses on his face almost fell off.
He was only just over forty years old, and the "uncle's generation"—the age gap couldn't be less than ten years or so, right? That meant Chu Chengzhou's age was at most thirty, and probably even lower?
There was actually such a young Titled Douluo on the continent?
But thinking of Chu Chengzhou's four-black-five-red soul ring configuration, Ma Jake felt relieved. After all, the world always produced freaks beyond ordinary people's comprehension.
"By the way, Old Ma, go pack up and bring your family's memorial tablets or remains. Otherwise, you'll have very few opportunities to pay respects in the future."
As he spoke, Chu Chengzhou patted Ma Jake's shoulder.
The Sun-Moon Continent was very far from the Douluo Continent, and Ma Jake wasn't him—it wouldn't be convenient for him to travel between the two continents. After being lured back to the Douluo Continent by him, he really wouldn't have much opportunity to return to the Sun-Moon Continent.
"This—"
Ma Jake was completely confused, unable to make sense of it.
"Old Ma, do you think your Sun-Moon Continent could produce an extraordinary genius like me?"
Seeing Ma Jake's confusion, Chu Chengzhou said somewhat proudly.
Ma Jake: "..."
So self-confident?
But it had to be said—he really couldn't think of which soul master family could cultivate an extraordinary genius like Chu Chengzhou. Even the Sun-Moon royal family couldn't do it. Moreover, as far as he knew, there was no powerful soul master family on the continent with the surname Chu.
Wait—you said "your Sun-Moon Continent"?
Could it be that Young Master Chu wasn't from the Sun-Moon Continent?
Immediately, Ma Jake's gaze toward Chu Chengzhou changed.
'Could Young Master Chu be from the legendary God Realm?'
Ma Jake secretly speculated.
The Sun-Moon Continent did have legends of gods—though no one had ever seen them.
In Ma Jake's view, if the God Realm existed in the world, a ninth-ring Titled Douluo at such a young age, along with a soul ring configuration beyond ordinary imagination—wasn't that also possible?
"Looks like you guessed it. I'm not from the Sun-Moon Continent, but from the Douluo Continent."
"Douluo Continent?"
Ma Jake raised his eyebrows—not the legendary God Realm?
Chu Chengzhou nodded and said: "Departing from the eastern coast of the Sun-Moon Continent and crossing the ocean for tens of thousands of miles, you can reach the Douluo Continent."
"Tens of thousands of miles?!"
Ma Jake couldn't help but raise his voice, his face filled with indescribable shock.
"Here, I came riding Xiao Yin."
Chu Chengzhou pointed to the Space Holy Dragon spirit Xiao Yin in the distant sky.
Ma Jake: "..."
Although Ma Jake wasn't a high-level expert, he could tell that this silver giant dragon with space attributes had strength that definitely wasn't inferior to an ordinary ninth-ring Titled Douluo. With a flying mount of such strength, crossing the ocean for tens of thousands of miles—wasn't that also possible?
Amid his shock, Ma Jake couldn't help but develop intense curiosity about the Douluo Continent and asked: "Young Master Chu, could you tell me about the situation on the Douluo Continent?"
After thinking for a moment, Chu Chengzhou said: "Aside from not developing soul guidance technology, the Douluo Continent is quite similar to the Sun-Moon Continent—it's just a bit larger in area, and there are more high-level experts in the soul master world."
"If this were the Douluo Continent, this Worship Moon Sect couldn't stir up much trouble."
"On the Douluo Continent, there's a dominant power in the soul master world called the Spirit Hall."
"The Spirit Hall has numerous powerful subordinates—over twenty to thirty Titled Douluo-level elders. Even just counting the elders above Level 95, there are as many as seven. Among them, the Spirit Hall's Grand Worship elder is an invincible demi-god expert in the world, only half a step away from the divine realm."
"And the Spirit Hall worships the Angel God and specializes in combating evil soul masters. Not to mention one Worship Moon Sect—even ten Worship Moon Sects couldn't get the better of the Spirit Hall."
