Chapter 276: Heterodox Soul Master_1
"East!" Su Jin replied, "Or should I come with you?"
"No need, Headmaster Su, wait for the good news!" Chu Qin shook his head.
"Lord Wang Jue, do you need our assistance?" Wells also asked.
"No need!"
As soon as the words fell, Chu Qin, with the three women, flew straight out into the sky!
Chu Qin, along with the two women, headed straight along the eastern side of Tian Shui.
Along the way, they kept their spiritual power fully activated, unfortunately, to no avail.
It wasn’t until they crossed over a tall mountain that they finally saw ahead a troop dressed in Empire Knight attire, protecting a carriage, frantically fleeing because several hundred Soul Masters, including some with wings on their backs, were pursuing them closely.
It was evident that the group of winged Flying Soul Masters were strong, managing to injure a Sky Battler Knight every few meters!
"It’s the Rogerson Knight Group!" Chu Qin’s eyes lit up as he swiftly surpassed Zi Ji and Azure Dragon, arriving in front of the knights.
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, the steeds of the entire Rogerson Knight Group reared up in fright, coming to an abrupt halt!
"Who goes there!" Rogerson initially demanded angrily; but after recognizing Chu Qin, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, Azure Dragon Duke!"
Hearing this, the members of the Knights Group were overjoyed.
The arrival of the Azure Dragon Duke meant the doomsday for those pursuing Soul Masters was imminent!
"Rogerson, where are Bing’er and the others?" Chu Qin asked.
"Miss Bing’er, along with the missing Tian Shui Academy disciples and tutors, are all inside the carriage at the back!" Rogerson replied with a look of excitement.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin instantly transformed into a beam of golden light, rushing towards the carriage, and at that moment Shui Bing’er, Xue Wu, and Shui Yue’er, as if hearing Chu Qin’s voice, jumped out from the carriage!
"Chu Qin!" Seeing Chu Qin, the three women immediately gathered around him!
"It’s good you’re alright!" Chu Qin first smiled briefly, then his brow furrowed as he asked, "Bing’er, Xue’er, Ah Wu, where are Ling Ling and the Nine Demoness?"
"Ling Ling and the Nine Demoness led away the Wolf Raiders and several supreme Heterodox Soul Masters, and we got separated!" Shui Bing’er replied.
"Heterodox Soul Masters?" Chu Qin frowned.
"Yes, these Soul Masters kill without blinking, eat people without spitting out the bones; we saw with our own eyes how they devoured the people of an entire village!" Shui Yue’er said with a worried expression.
Chu Qin’s brow tightened; he had seen something like this scene before. It was like the evil Soul Masters in the original "Soul Land"!
However, weren’t evil Soul Masters supposed to be in Sun Moon Land?
"All hands on deck, prepare for battle!" Just then, Rogerson’s bold and vigorous voice rose, and upon hearing his call, all Sky Battler Knights promptly dismounted, with Defense Series Soul Masters in front, Strong Attack Series Soul Masters behind, and Control and Auxiliary Series Soul Masters at the very end, orderly and ready for battle!
Subsequently, they launched a coordinated ranged attack on the approaching group of Soul Masters!
However, it was clear that these Soul Masters were not weak at all, with the least of them being a Soul Elder!
Moreover, the two figures at the front were remarkably Soul Douluo!
No wonder the Rogerson Knight Group was being pushed back!
A group of several hundred people, despite being under the "barrage of gunfire" from the Sky Battler Knight Group, charged directly towards this spot!
Seeing this, Rogerson’s feet pulsed with his two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings, and a "Buddha’s Hand" appeared behind him!
This was indeed his Martial Soul, the Xumi Battle Hand!
"Yue’er, later you’ll have to give me a detailed account!"
"Rogerson, step back!"
No sooner had Chu Qin spoken than the wings on his back flickered, his eight wings flapped, and immediately his Elemental Dragon Body transformed into the fire element, charging like a meteor of flames straight towards the Soul Master troop!
And, with the enhancement of Chu Qin’s soul power, the fireball meteor grew larger and larger, eventually engulfing the entire Soul Master team within it!
Immediately afterward, everyone felt a super blinding light flare up before them, and the originally imposing army of heterodox Soul Masters was completely burned into ashes!
The next moment, Chu Qin was holding the neck of a Soul Douluo with one hand, standing before the Sky Battler Knight Group!
The entire Sky Battler Knight Group was initially stunned, then erupted into thunderous applause!
"I’ve long heard that Lord Wang Jue, despite your young age, is peerless in this world. Seeing it today truly amazes me! The Tiandou Empire will surely prosper even more with you here!" Rogerson exclaimed sincerely.
Chu Qin simply responded with an indifferent smile, then looked fiercely at the Soul Douluo in his hand, an old man with white hair, and demanded, "Speak, who are you!"
The Soul Douluo, having witnessed Chu Qin’s thunderous methods, was initially frightened out of his wits. However, as he regained his composure, the fear vanished, and he retorted with a sullen face, "Don’t bother, you might as well kill me, I will not betray the God-Slaying Cult!"
"The God-Slaying Cult!" Chu Qin and Rogerson exclaimed in unison.
"..." Realizing his mistake, the old man hastily corrected himself, "What God-Slaying Cult? I didn’t say anything!"
"Humph, tough talk!" Chu Qin sneered coldly, his Elemental Dragon Body transforming into lightning. In an instant, visible purple electricity spread from Chu Qin’s arm to the Soul Douluo’s body.
In a flash, a harrowing scream tore from the Soul Douluo’s mouth!
Yet even as he passed out from the electric shock, he didn’t divulge any information, merely spitting out defiantly, "Killing God will never forgive you!"
"What should we do, Lord Wang Jue? Should we wake him up and keep interrogating?" Rogerson asked.
"No need, he won’t speak!" Chu Qin shook his head, "The priority is to find Ling Ling!"
"What? Miss Ling Ling and the Nine Demoness didn’t return to Sky Water City?" Rogerson asked, slightly startled.
"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded, "Rogerson, where did you separate from Ling Ling, and where did she go?"
"About seven hundred li to the southeast, there’s a high mountain enveloped in red mist. That’s where we found the missing disciples of Tian Shui Academy!" Rogerson replied, "We also parted ways with Miss Ling Ling there!"
"Who did you encounter at that time? Even the Nine Demoness couldn’t handle them?" Chu Qin asked.
"Many, so many it’s hard to imagine!" Rogerson replied, "At least ten thousand Soul Masters! I also wonder, despite the complex terrain in the northwest region, such a large number of Soul Masters should have been detected earlier! To think, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has only five thousand Soul Masters, while there were as many as ten thousand there!"
"Ten thousand Soul Masters!" Chu Qin’s brows knit slightly, "The God-Slaying Cult?"
"Could it be, a foreign invading force?" Chu Qin thought to himself.
"Chu Qin, shall we go to Red Mist Mountain?" Zi Ji asked.
"Zi Ji, you and Azure Dragon escort Bing’er and the others back to Tian Shui Academy. I will go alone to take a look!" Chu Qin replied.
"That’s too dangerous, Lord Wang Jue, isn’t it?" Rogerson voiced his concern.
"Don’t worry, I won’t be in danger!" Chu Qin shook his head. His own strength already surpassed all of Soul Land, with many life-preserving means at his disposal, and inside him were Flame Spirit Princess Su Daji, Yunyun Medusa, four unparalleled experts!
"Are you sure it’s not dangerous?" Zi Ji asked with concern.
"Positive! With Daji and Flame Spirit Princess around, aren’t you assured?" Chu Qin said. Then, approaching Shui Bing’er and the others, he said, "Bing’er, Xue’er, Ah Wu, I will go find Ling Ling, you all go back to Tian Shui Academy with Zi Ji first!"
"Ah..." Shui Bing’er frowned slightly, "Chu Qin, that place is very dangerous, I’m worried about you!"
"Be good, don’t worry, I will definitely come back!" Chu Qin took Shui Bing’er’s tender hand and reassured her.
"Chu Qin, if you don’t come back, I will lead all the sisters to find you!" Zi Ji stated.
"Understood!"
As soon as Chu Qin finished speaking, he unfolded his eight wings, transforming into a streak of light, rushing toward the southeast!
"This guy, always so worrisome!" Zi Ji remarked with a touch of melancholy.
"Madam Zi Ji, should we report this matter to His Majesty?" Rogerson asked, looking at Zi Ji.
"Don’t worry. Although he always gives us cause for concern, he would never do anything he’s not sure of!" Zi Ji said with a gentle smile, "Let’s go, we’re heading back to Sky Water City!"
