Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 140: Zhongli Wu: Praise Tang San
"Try? Everyone can kill evil soul masters." Xuan Zi took out a pot of wine from his storage soul guidance device and took a sip. After a moment of silence, he continued: "Cai Meir, you also know that I have done some wrong things. If it weren't for my negligence, perhaps Yao Haoxuan and the others wouldn't have died at all."
As Xuan Zi spoke, his eyes reddened: "Although the academy arranged for people to comfort their parents and provided some compensation, this matter has always been a permanent pain in my heart. I have sworn that I will kill the Death God Envoy in this life."
"I must avenge my students. Even if I can't catch the Death God Envoy now, I will also hunt down those evil soul masters. After all, who knows whether they will hurt the students of the academy in the future? You know, I have always been a person who attaches great importance to students!"
Cai Meir's face darkened. "Elder Xuan, this matter isn't entirely your fault. The Death God Envoy is too cunning. Now I understand why you can't help but kill the evil soul master when you see him."
Yao Haoxuan and the others were all extremely outstanding students, but they all died because of the Death God Envoy. This makes Cai Meir extremely distressed. After all, as long as these students grow up, they will become independent strong individuals in the future and carry forward the glory of Shrek Academy.
"I'm glad you understand me." Xuan Zi nodded. "Let's go. Let's continue to hunt down evil soul masters. I don't want students to be killed by them again."

Sun Moon Empire
Zhongli Wu looked a little grim. He glanced at Deputy Leader Feng Ling and said, "The large-scale search and hunting of evil soul masters by Shrek Academy has caused the complete collapse of our Holy Spirit Church's intelligence system in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Although some have escaped, more have perished."
"This is a huge blow to our Holy Spirit Church."
Although the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is in the Sun Moon Empire, they also need to obtain information from the outside world and occasionally send personnel to select promising individuals to join the church. As a result, Shrek Academy's actions have caught them off guard.
Feng Ling frowned slightly. "Although the Shrek Supervisory Group will also hunt down evil soul masters, they've never caused such great losses to the Holy Church. Should we immediately go to the vicinity of Shrek Academy to wait and attack their students? Since they hunt the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church, we can retaliate against them."
Zhongli Wu shook his head immediately. "No."
Feng Ling was surprised. "Are we going to swallow our anger? The majesty of the Holy Spirit Church cannot be challenged!"
Zhongli Wu looked helpless. "Feng Ling, what I mean is that it's not the right time. For the prosperity of the Holy Spirit Church, we must endure temporarily. Even if we attack Shrek Academy and kill some students, it won't make much difference, because those core students will be firmly protected by Shrek."
He continued, "If we kill students who come to the Sun Moon Empire for exchange and study, it will also have a negative impact on the empire. Currently, we are allied with the Sun Moon Empire. Unless they ask us to act together, we cannot do it, or it will damage the relationship between us."
"After all, I still hope that the Holy Spirit Church will become the national guardian of the Sun-Moon Empire and serve as the nation's teacher. Old Man Kong Deming has opinions about me and obstructs my plans at every turn. If the Holy Spirit Church does such things, it will only make our implementation more difficult."
"Moreover, the current intelligence network of the Holy Spirit Church in the Douluo Three Kingdoms has completely collapsed. We are now completely in the dark about the situation there. It's not wise to act rashly against Shrek.
However, I promise that one day, Shrek Academy will pay a painful price."
After speaking, Zhongli Wu took Feng Ling's hand gently.
Feng Ling understood that her husband was asking her to swallow her anger so they could plan carefully. As expected of him—far-sighted. Zhongli Wu added, "By the way, I heard that a girl with an angel martial soul appeared in the Sun-Moon Empire. Feng Ling, you should arrange for people to hunt her down. No matter what methods you use, you must kill her. Otherwise, once she becomes powerful, she will pose a serious threat to the Holy Spirit Church."
"Angel martial soul?" Feng Ling frowned. "Okay, I will do my best to arrange the hunt."
The owner of the angel martial soul has too strong a suppressive power over evil soul masters. Such individuals can even improve their cultivation by purifying resentful spirits and evil. They are essentially the nemeses of evil soul masters.
"Well, Feng Ling, I trust you to handle this," Zhongli Wu sighed. "According to the church records, when the angel clan was prosperous, many ancestors became nourishment for the angels to grow stronger. However, to be honest, we have to thank Tang San, who was born in Shrek Academy."
"Ten thousand years ago, he defeated the Angel God and destroyed the Spirit Hall that inherited the angel martial soul. This led to the decline of the angel clan. The ancestors of evil soul masters had a chance to breathe, and the Holy Spirit Church also gained a foundation. From this perspective, Tang San made an outstanding contribution to the establishment of our Holy Church."
The members of the angel clan are not just Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and Qian Xunji. They are just members with strong martial souls. Given Qian Renxue's personality, it's unlikely she married or had children with others after being defeated by Tang San. So, the remaining angel martial soul owners today are most likely not her descendants.
As for the evil soul masters, they probably existed long ago. Some hid among the fallen, while others, like the Star Crown Sect ten thousand years ago, concealed their identities. That's why Douluo Dalu I's protagonists never encountered them.
Feng Ling nodded. "However, if I were Tang San, before entering the so-called God Realm, I would gather the angels and use a method of suppressing some while winning over others to ensure their eternal survival."
"After all, the sacred attributes of angel martial souls are highly advantageous when dealing with certain enemies."
"But he didn't do this. Could it be that he still hopes the Douluo Continent will fall into chaos?"
…
Huo Yuhao walked to the side of a stream, holding a staff, and began to chant a spell. After a moment, a dark, deathly soul gate exuding a sense of annihilation appeared before him.
Then he canceled the illusion imitation soul skill, revealing the figure of the Golden Tortoise. The Golden Tortoise looked at the Gate of the Dead in confusion. "I always feel that the breath from this gate isn't right. It reminds me of the evil soul master's aura. I don't know what it is now, but are you not an evil soul master?"
"Evil soul master?" Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Of course not. Strictly speaking, I'm half a necromancer, which is completely different from an evil soul master."
He is a descendant of the Holy God of the Dead, Electrolux, and is indeed a half-necromancer. The main reason he's called half is because he also masters magic like the Light of Purification, making him a necromancer with light attributes.
In terms of commanding undead, necromancers are indeed more powerful than evil soul masters.
