In an unknown border town affiliated with the Marado Duchy within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qian Renyue opened a handbook and said after a moment, "According to the investigation, there's a mysterious village about 70 miles away in the mountains. The local villagers claim this place has been abandoned by the gods' curse. There are cries of infants every night. Sometimes, there are also women's wails. Fewer and fewer people are living in this town now, fearing they'll be tainted by the curse."
"Infant cries, women's wails? Instead of reporting this to the Empire or the Martial Soul Hall, they blame it on a god's curse. How interesting," Xie Yue sneered, his tone mocking.
"They probably know something but don't dare to get involved, so they can only do this," Hu Liena sighed.
"It's been confirmed through investigation; they are indeed Evil Soul Masters. The strongest is a Soul Saint, followed by two Soul Emperors, and five Soul Kings. The rest are Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors," Qian Renyue closed the handbook and said to everyone, "This is our first battle. Evil Soul Masters are insidious and ruthless; we must not be careless. Your safety is the priority. Understood?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" everyone replied in unison.
"Yanyan is currently in closed-door cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, preparing to break through to Soul Emperor. We only have six people this time. Nana, you're the only control-type Soul Master right now; you arrange the battle," Qian Renyue said to Hu Liena.
"Yes, Your Highness." Hu Liena was taken aback for a moment, then quickly composed herself and began to think. "The strongest Soul Saint will be dealt with by Your Highness. The two Soul Emperors will be handled by Brother and Yan. Na'er will be responsible for quickly eliminating the stragglers and then supporting Your Highness. The overall support will be handled by Rongrong."
"No problem, leave it to me." Ning Rongrong patted her chest and said with a smile.
"Alright." Qian Renyue thought about the plots she knew about Evil Soul Masters, even though they were mostly from The Unrivaled Tang Sect and Dragon King Legend, the common feature was that Evil Soul Masters were insidious and cunning, always having unexpected tricks up their sleeves.
Thinking of this, Qian Renyue called out to the others who were about to move, "Evil Soul Masters are insidious and cunning. To prevent any hidden tricks in their lair, I suggest we lure them out. Don't rush in."
The others exchanged glances, and seeing Qian Renyue's serious expression, they all put away their casual attitudes and became alert.
Qian Renyue thought for a moment and said to the others, "Isn't it said that there are often cries of women and babies here? Later, Na'er and I will make a scene. When they come out, we'll lead them over, and the rest will be up to you."
"No problem, Your Highness, be careful." Hu Liena instructed.
"Don't worry." Qian Renyue waved to Na'er, "Na'er, let's go."
Na'er nodded, gripping the Silver Dragon Spear in one hand and holding Qian Renyue's hand with the other, heading towards their destination.
Qian Renyue and Na'er flew in mid-air, looking at their target this time. The small mountain village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with some thin fields in front of the village entrance, but most of them were deserted, with weeds growing in the fields.
In the middle of the village, there was a large tree that looked quite old. Qian Renyue noticed this tree at first glance. For some reason, looking at this tree made Qian Renyue feel stuffy and very uncomfortable. Qian Renyue put her hand on her chest, her face looking very bad.
"Yueyue, what's wrong?" Na'er looked at Qian Renyue worriedly.
"Na'er, did you see that tree? That tree is so strange, I feel so uncomfortable." Qian Renyue immediately released her Angel Martial Soul. The Angel Martial Soul's own purification ability made Qian Renyue's complexion improve a lot.
When Na'er placed her spiritual sense on that tree, her face also became not so good. Qian Renyue saw this and immediately channeled Sacred Power to Na'er.
Na'er's face became very ugly, and she directly launched an attack at the strange tree, "Sixth Soul Skill, Silver Dragon Spitting Pearls."
Golden light balls, like dragon pearls, rained down on the tree. However, after the attack dissipated, the tree was still standing there intact, only a few leaves had fallen.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Holy Cross Array." Qian Renyue's healing Angel Martial Soul, although a support type, possessed Sacred Fire within its fifth soul skill, which was highly effective against all evil and dark attributes.
As expected, under the scorching of the Sacred Fire, the eerie tree emitted a piercing wail. It was as if a demon from hell had encountered something terrifying.
Seeing this, Qian Renyue was startled. She realized that this incident was likely not as simple as it seemed. She immediately decided to release a signal flare to notify the elders not far away. The safety of her and her companions was the most important thing.
The moment Qian Renyue released the signal flare, a chilling aura swept in, extinguishing Qian Renyue's Sacred Fire.
"Where did these little insects come from? Simply courting death." A low, raspy voice echoed, and Qian Renyue immediately retracted her Life Scepter and summoned her Dragon's Roar.
"Na'er, be careful. Prepare to run," Qian Renyue whispered to Na'er.
Na'er nodded gently, "You be careful too, Yueyue."
"Sacred aura? And such a potent sacred aura? Hahaha, little girl, you wouldn't be from the Martial Soul Hall, would you?" The low voice sounded again, like a bellows that had been abandoned for many years, extremely unpleasant to the ear.
Seeing Qian Renyue and Na'er remaining silent and in a defensive posture, a black-robed elder emerged from behind the tree, his gaze cold as he looked at them, "Since you won't speak, and you possess a sacred attribute, then you shall stay and become the nourishment for the God Tree."
"Fourth Soul Skill, Myriad Ghosts' Wail." A Black-robed Elder had seven soul rings rise behind him, a configuration of white, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black. Although not the optimal arrangement, the old man's aura was still formidable.
Beneath Qian Renyue and Na'er's feet, several skeletal hands suddenly emerged from the ground, as if trying to climb upwards or drag the living down.
Ghost-like monsters floated above the ground, emitting wails that sounded like women screaming and babies crying. Qian Renyue and Na'er immediately felt as though their heads were being pricked by needles, experiencing waves of pain.
"Na'er, be careful! It's a mental attack!" Qian Renyue immediately activated her Head Soul Bone. Under the protection of the Head Soul Bone, the Black-robed Elder's mental attack lost its effect.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Soul Blessing: Angel's Protection, Grace of Nurturing, Soul Cleansing, Sacred Blessing." The first skill of a 100,000-year soul skill, Sacred Blessing, enhanced the mental strength of the blessed. Moreover, Na'er was a split soul of the Silver Dragon King, and her mental strength was not inferior to a Titled Douluo.
"Third Soul Skill: Silver Dragon Roar." An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Na'er chose to retaliate with a mental attack. The old man, already underestimating the two young girls, was caught off guard and completely succumbed to Na'er's attack, his mind momentarily dazed.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Qian Renyue switched to her Dragon's Roar Divine Sword Martial Soul, "Second Soul Skill, Crescent Moon."
After immobilizing the enemy, the Black-robed Elder, Qian Renyue and Na'er relentlessly attacked, launching various attacks at the Black-robed Men.
Just as the two of them were about to launch another attack, a figure emerged from the village, all in black robes.
"My Lord," they rushed towards the Black-robed Elder, shouting anxiously.
"You stinky brats, this old man will suck your blood dry!" The Black-robed Elder clutched his wound and roared.
Then, the Black-robed Elder knelt before the God Tree, praying respectfully, "Great God Tree, please grant your apostle divine power to capture the offerings and sacrifice them with their blood."
Qian Renyue immediately felt something was wrong and pulled Na'er, spreading her wings to escape quickly.
The eerie tree trembled, emitting a cloud of black mist that surged toward the Black-robed Elder. Seeing this, the Black-robed Men beside him immediately chased after Qian Renyue's direction of escape.
I am very sorry, my dear readers. I've been feeling sick with a cold these past few days, and it coincided with my period. I went to get an IV, and my whole body ached, leaving me with no energy to write. I'm feeling better today, so I've updated with one chapter first. I'm very sorry for not saying anything in advance, mainly because I caught a sudden cold. I should have three updates tomorrow. I'm not busy anymore; before the 24th, I will update at least twice a day. Please look forward to the following plot. Most of the following content will be original; those who mind or want to see Shrek or the abuse of Tang San are advised to skip it for now.
