Chapter 388 News of Mu Lin, Conspiracy.
This was a dense rainforest.
The rainforest was filled with the fresh scent of rainwater washing over the trees and vegetation, yet the entire forest seemed unfathomably deep.
However, it also displayed a vibrant and thriving scene. The croaking of frogs and the calls of some soul beasts added to the strange and inexplicable atmosphere.
Xuan Mo and his group were resting here.
At this moment, facing Xuan Mo's question, Kadan was taken aback, but quickly recovered, "Young brother, since you rescued me, I will naturally answer anything. Please ask."
Xuan Mo didn't stand on ceremony; after nodding in acknowledgment, he eagerly inquired about news related to Mu Lin.
"Master Cardan, do you know if those evil soul masters captured a Soul Emperor-level man with a severed left arm two years ago?"
"Soul Emperor, severed left arm..."
Pierre Cardan's eyes were tightly closed, but he suddenly opened them in less than a breath, then asked with a somewhat grim expression, "That little guy, who is he to you?"
Seeing his appearance, Xuan Mo and the others felt a chill in their hearts, a sense of foreboding washing over them.
But then, Xuan Mo spoke first.
Xuan Mo forced a calm expression, staring at Pierre Cardan, "He's our brother who's risked his life for us. And he was captured by the evil soul masters while covering our retreat."
"Is that so..." Pierre Cardan couldn't help but sigh, "I've seen that little guy, but only once."
"Master Cardan! You've seen him!"
Everyone exclaimed excitedly.
Ma Hongjun even rushed towards him, almost grabbing Master Cardan's beard.
"I did see him, but he wasn't in good condition at the time."
Pierre Cardin's words instantly dampened Xuan Mo and the others' excitement. After all, it made sense; Mu Lin had covered the retreat, already severely injured and missing an arm. Facing so many evil soul masters, how could his situation have been good?
"Master Cardin, please tell us the details."
"At that time, they asked us soul tool manufacturers to come up with a solution: to create soul tool prosthetics for those with missing arms or legs. And our subject was that little guy you mentioned." Cardin's voice was low, and his previous smiling expression was completely gone.
As for Xuan Mo and the others, they gritted their teeth upon hearing this news. This was tantamount to experimenting on a living person, and the subject of that experiment was their brother who had risked his life for them!
"What a wicked soul master!"
No matter what, they suppressed their anger. Because at this moment, Mu Lin's safety was the most important thing. So everyone's eyes once again focused on Pierre Cardin.
"Actually, I refused that experiment," Pierre Cardin shook his head, "but I told you everything I knew. That little guy lost his left arm back then, and even his internal organs were all displaced."
These words immediately ignited Xuan Mo and the others' anger, and even their killing intent erupted from within. A chilling aura instantly filled the surroundings of the other soul guide manufacturers.
However, Master Cardin's next words made them breathe a slight sigh of relief, "In fact, logically speaking, with that little guy's strength, he should have died. However, under the effect of the Holy Spirit Cult's blood pool, his injuries are slowly healing."
"It seems that the Holy Spirit Cult is somewhat justifiable in this respect." Hearing that Mu Lin was not in mortal danger, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and even Ma Hongjun tried to liven up the atmosphere.
"Things are probably not that simple."
"Huh? What did you say, Brother Mo?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. Seeing Xuan Mo deep in thought, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing." Before things were confirmed, Xuan Mo clearly didn't want to say more. He looked at Pier Cardan and asked,
"Master Cardan, do you know where that place is?"
"I do remember that. It's just a small branch, and the temple master is only a Soul Saint. I'm just not sure if they're still there."
"Then I'd like to trouble you again..."
Before Xuan Mo could finish speaking, Pier Cardan guessed his meaning and waved his hand, "No problem, it's not far from here. I'll take you there now. As for these Soul Guidance Makers..."
"Let them all stay here. I'll go with you."
"Alright."
Meanwhile.
A branch of the Holy Spirit Cult.
"What did you say?"
The temple master of this Holy Spirit Cult branch was looking at the evil Soul Master in front of him, a hint of surprise on his face.
"You're saying we're being ordered to evacuate!?"
"That's right." The evil spirit master nodded slightly. "It's an order from above. All small branches like this must be evacuated."
"Why?"
"Why? Heh."
The evil spirit master sneered. "That's not something you should know. Besides, this branch was only established to complete a small task assigned two years ago."
As he spoke, the evil spirit master's gaze fell on the figure in the center of the blood pool in the distance, whose left arm was equipped with a soul tool.
"And you've already reported that this mission is complete, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Temple Master hurriedly replied, "Yes, and after being baptized by the Holy Spirit's power, he..."
"Enough."
The evil soul master raised his hand to stop the Temple Master from speaking further, instead staring intently at him. "I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense. I'm asking you, how strong is he now? Is he controllable?"
"Uh. Because of the Holy Spirit's power, coupled with the restoration of his severed arm by his Soul Guide left arm, his cultivation has reached the Soul Saint level. As for combat power, it's comparable to a Soul Douluo exchanging blows. And he's controllable."
"Is that so... Hehehe..."
A cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Conceal his identity, then leave him, some useless individuals, and the soul tools here. And leave an eighth-level self-destructing soul tool on that guy."
"But sir, what about Lord Will…"
"Shut up!"
The temple lord was met with the evil soul master's stern rebuke. "That guy was just a killing tool, the others are just trash. Since they're tools and trash, why care about their lives?! As for Will… he won't turn against me because of this."
"But…"
"Alright!" The evil soul master's words trailed off, and the phantom of a bloodthirsty mantis appeared and disappeared behind him. "Take the data, the useful soul tool manufacturers, and that thing and leave. As for this, leave it to them. Also, leave this…"
As he spoke, he tossed something to the temple lord.
However, upon seeing this item, the temple lord was horrified. "Sir, this, this…"
"Don't worry, it's just a replica…"
