Chapter 26 The Body Sect's Mission: Hunting Evil Soul Masters.
Inside the sect leader's hall, Du Bu Si's exclamation echoed in the empty hall, causing the chandelier at the top to sway slightly.
The level 98 Super Douluo strode up to Liu Yuan, his deep green eyes gleaming with a feverish light as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.
"Level 27? How exactly did you cultivate like that?"
Poison Undying looked Liu Yuan up and down, and even couldn't help but reach out and test the condensed soul power shield.
In just one month, having already mastered the "Secret Techniques of the Body," he leaped two levels again. This speed cannot be described as "genius"; it is simply "monstrous."
Feeling the somewhat "abnormal" gaze from his master, Liu Yuan felt helpless but remained humble, bowing slightly as he said:
"Master, I only had a fleeting feeling while cultivating the secret technique. In addition, the spiritual energy in Tingtao Pavilion was abundant, and I was also fortunate enough to break through with the high-level soul beast meat provided by Master."
"Stop trying to fool me!" Poisonous Immortal laughed again, slapping Liu Yuan's shoulder heavily.
"Your talent is truly remarkable, even surpassing Aotian and myself back then! Hahaha, our Body Sect has truly struck gold this time."
At this moment, his heart was filled with joy.
After Du Busi finished praising him, Liu Yuan steadied himself, his expression turned serious, and he got to the point, asking, "Master, what extremely important matter do you have to tell me and my senior brother today?"
Poison Immortal's smile vanished, replaced by an aura of majesty and profundity. He slowly said, "Now that you two have achieved some success in your cultivation, it's time for you to go out and see some blood. I have a sect mission for you two to lead."
"A sect mission?" Liu Yuan's heart stirred.
Although the Body Sect is currently in a state of seclusion in the eyes of the outside world, he knows very well that the Body Sect has always been the guardian of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
They secluded themselves from the world to focus on cultivation and avoid unnecessary conflicts, but this did not mean they were indifferent to worldly affairs. Rather, they were secretly protecting the borders and peace of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Therefore, the sect missions of the Body Sect are mostly to solve some hidden dangers that threaten the rule of the empire or the safety of the people, such as hunting down evil soul masters who commit crimes in the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
This sounds somewhat similar to Shrek Academy's "Supervisory Committee".
However, in Liu Yuan's view, the two are fundamentally different.
Shrek's oversight body operates on a near-saintly "unrewarded justice" principle, maintained solely by sheer passion.
Because the Body Sect has an extremely deep-rooted interest in the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, its sect missions are more like elite training with rewards.
As disciples, completing tasks is an obligation to protect the sect. After completing a task, one can not only receive rare resource rewards from the sect, but also often receive additional titles or generous rewards from the Heavenly Soul Royal Family.
In Liu Yuan's eyes, this model, which involves both effort and reward and is linked to political interests, is clearly much more realistic and sustainable than Shrek's approach.
"Master, please give instructions. What are the specific details of the mission?" Liu Yuan asked in a deep voice.
With his hands behind his back, Du Bu Si pointed to the map of the Heavenly Soul Empire hanging on the wall and said, "In the west of the empire, there is a small border town called Ya Luo City."
"A group of evil spirit masters has recently appeared there. They are cruel and ruthless, burning, killing, and looting. Several villages have been affected, causing panic among the local people. I have already sent my sect's spies to investigate."
At this point, Poisonous Undying paused, his eyes sharpening: "There aren't many of these evil soul masters, probably around five or six. Judging from their aura, they should all be at the level of Great Soul Masters in their twenties. Although their level isn't high, evil soul masters are unpredictable, so we shouldn't underestimate them."
"For this mission, Aotian will lead the team and be in charge of the overall situation, while Liu Yuan, you will be in charge of assisting." Du Busi looked at the two of them.
"Besides the two of you, you should also bring Chen Lu, Gu Tong, and Wang Yanfeng from the sect. Vina and Mu Xue will also be going. This is also a collective training opportunity for your younger generation, understand?"
"Vina and Muxue are going too?" Liu Yuan seemed a little surprised.
Vina was, after all, a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a golden branch and jade leaf, and Muxue, as her companion and guard, also had an extraordinary status.
The fact that a princess was personally sent to the front lines to fight against the evil spirit masters was something he hadn't expected.
Du Busi saw through Liu Yuan's thoughts at a glance and said calmly, "Although Vina is a princess, as long as she is in the Body Sect, she is a disciple of the Body Sect."
"Moreover, given her special status, she needs to set an example and become a role model for the Empire's Soul Masters."
"So although she doesn't spend a lot of time in the sect on weekdays, she has carried out quite a few sect missions, and her practical experience may be even richer than yours."
Liu Yuan nodded in understanding: "Disciple understands, and will do his best to assist Senior Brother in completing the mission."
Afterwards, Liu Yuan and Long Aotian bowed to Du Busi together, then turned and left the sect master's hall, preparing to summon Chen Lu and the others to meet at the mountain gate and set off.
As the two Gold-level disciples' spirited figures gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, Du Busi's stern expression faded, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.
He clapped his hands lightly, and two figures emerged silently from the shadows of the once empty and quiet hall.
They were two old men, one of whom was as thin as a rake and had a sinister look in his eyes;
The other person had fiery red hair and an unrestrained aura.
Although the two did not deliberately release any pressure, the tense space around them revealed their identities—Title Douluo.
"Sect Master." The two bowed respectfully to Poison Undying.
Du Busi looked at them and coldly instructed, "You two are to follow, but don't let Liu Yuan and Ao Tian notice your presence."
"The reason I didn't tell them was to give them a real opportunity to learn. No matter how beautiful the flowers grown in the greenhouse are, they can't withstand the storms."
Du Busi turned around and said, word by word, "But you must remember that Liu Yuan and Long Aotian are my personal disciples, and the other disciples are also the future hope of my Body Sect."
"You two must ensure their safety at all costs. If anything unexpected happens that you can't control..."
A resolute glint flashed in Du Busi's eyes, "Even if it means sacrificing yourselves, you must bring them all back! They cannot be harmed!"
"We will obey the sect master's decree!" The two titled Douluo solemnly accepted the order, their figures disappearing back into the shadows as if they had never existed.
In the empty hall, Poisonous Immortal sighed deeply, gazing at the surging sea of clouds outside the window, muttering to himself, "The fledgling eagle will eventually spread its wings..."
"Children, grow up as soon as possible..."
