Oscar couldn't help but interrupt Bai Yu, asking with a somewhat conflicted expression:
"Brother Bai, you mean you want us to shed blood? You don't mean to kill these people, do you? These guys sound like tough bastards. Can we handle them?"
The others also looked grave, wondering what Bai Yu was thinking, actually wanting a few kids to deal with these killers.
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at Oscar sideways, and continued walking forward.
"Don't worry, just go and do it. I'll parasitize your bodies with my martial spirit to protect you. At most, you'll get hurt, but you won't die."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered, and he remembered something, asking in a question:
"Bai Yu, I remember that outsiders can't accept missions from the Spirit Hall, right? How do you plan to accept the bounty?"
Bai Yu flipped his hand and took out something, tossing it behind him. Zhao Wuji caught it, and everyone looked up to see a golden token with wings engraved on one side and a sword on the other.
"A Spirit Hall enforcement order! And it's even a gold order!"
As the former boyfriend of the Holy Maiden, Yu Xiaogang knew a lot about the Spirit Hall and recognized at a glance that this was the golden token that only the captain of the enforcement team possessed!
"You're from Spirit Hall? No, everyone in Spirit Hall except the elders has their own missions. Why are you wandering around outside all this time?"
Listening to Yu Xiaogang's incessant rambling in her ear, Bai Yu said impatiently:
"Don't talk so much. I got the token from my family. I want to hunt down Fallen Soul Masters when I feel like it. Having a token makes things easier."
The crowd's expressions were strange, their thoughts a jumble of emotions. "Damn, you're so reckless! You just wanted to kill someone and specifically asked for a golden token. What's your identity anyway? What's your family's relationship with Spirit Hall?"
After finding the hotel, Bai Yu went alone to the Spirit Hall branch in Sylives City, showed his token, and went to the Case Management Office to start choosing a mission.
"Your Holiness? What are you doing here?"
A questioning greeting came from behind. Bai Yu looked up and saw the cardinal standing guard staring at him with surprise.
"So it's Bishop An Feng. It's been over five years. How have you been?"
An Feng strode over, bowed respectfully to Bai Yu, and answered solemnly.
"Cardinal An Feng greets Your Highness, the Holy Son. I am well and am unaware of your arrival. I apologize for not being able to greet you!"
Bai Yu waved his hand, looking helpless, and clicked his tongue, saying:
"You people all know I don't like this stuff, yet you insist on doing it. I came here to see if there are any Fallen Soul Masters heading towards Tiandou City, so I can take on a mission."
An Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they weren't here to cause trouble. He then thought to himself that Bai Yu's words were ridiculous. If someone saw this and reported it, wouldn't I be in big trouble?
As a direct descendant of a family who is enshrined in the Elder Hall, An Feng doesn't really need to pay much attention to the Holy Son of the Papal Palace. But Bai Yu is different; his words carry weight whether it's the Papal Palace or the Elder Hall!
"Why trouble Your Holiness with such a trivial matter? I'll find someone to make the selection. Your Holiness, please wait a moment!"
Bai Yu didn't care. He hadn't originally planned to reveal his identity, but since he'd been discovered, he might as well save himself some trouble.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, An Feng came over with two files.
"Your Highness, there are only two people heading towards Heaven Dou City: one is a Soul Elder and the other is a Soul Ancestor."
"The second one was delivered this afternoon. There were six people in total: one Soul Elder, four Soul Ancestors, and one Soul Grandmaster. They had been killing people in remote villages until Spirit Hall sent people to awaken their Martial Souls."
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, took the file and started reading, then gestured for An Feng to continue.
"After investigation, it was found that this group of people massacred three villages and some scattered Soul Masters. The local branch of the Spirit Hall reported this and requested the law enforcement team to take over."
Bai Yu nodded, stood up, and said to An Feng:
"Okay, this is it. I'll take the file with me. Thank you for your help, Bishop."
An Feng bowed and saw him off, saying:
"It's nothing, Your Holiness, please take care."
Watching the Bai Yu walk away, An Feng murmured to himself.
"Your Holiness, the Holy Son, who hasn't been back to Spirit City for several years, what brings you here today? Should I report this? Never mind, Spirit City isn't concerned, it's not good for me to meddle!"
The next day, everyone got ready early, ate breakfast, and gathered together to look at the files that Bai Yu had brought.
"Young man, is this going to work? Although there aren't many of them, their level is much higher than the little monsters, so they won't be easy to deal with."
Flender looked somewhat worried. These people were all experienced killers, and dealing with them was different from dealing with Soul Battles. If they weren't careful, they might be killed by them.
Bai Yu tapped the corner of the table with his fingers and said with a smile:
"I chose them because they're tough to deal with! If they were easy to deal with, how could I watch the show? Bah! How could I achieve the training effect? Am I right?"
Everyone stared blankly. If they hadn't misheard, he said he wanted to watch the show, right?
Liu Erlong looked at Bai Yu with disdain, cursing inwardly, "I knew this bastard was no good!"
"Brother Bai...you just said you were just watching the show, right? What do you mean by that? How about we skip the bounty and go straight to Heaven Dou City?"
Bai Yu smacked his lips, waved his large hand at the seven of them, and said:
"Tsk, don't worry about the details. There are so many of us, including your teachers, watching over things. Nothing will happen."
"As the saying goes, life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are determined by fate. Just do it!"
Hearing him say that, Tang San and the others' eyelids twitched, and their bad premonition intensified. However, they did not object. After all, Bai Yu was right. With so many teachers watching, how could anything happen?
Led by Bai Yu, the group set off to find the group of people. Because they were wandering around aimlessly, Bai Yu and his companions finally managed to corner them in front of a deserted mountain near nightfall.
"You're Spirit Hall's enforcement team? So many people, that's quite a big deal!"
These fallen soul masters looked extremely pale, their mouths tasted bitter, and they almost screamed. Was it really necessary? I knew it! It's just a few coins' worth of bounty, why are so many people here?
Bai Yu walked up to them, looked at the seven fallen soul masters, and blinked. Why was there an extra Soul Master?
He then shook his head indifferently and said to them:
"We're not an enforcement team, we just wanted to find someone to kill to get some experience, and you guys just happened to be chosen. Let's play a game later."
"If you survive the game, I'll have someone send you to the Slaughter City. You'll still have a sliver of hope. Don't even think about escaping. There are four of us Soul Saints; you can't get away!"
The seven people opposite cursed inwardly, "Damn it! What bad luck! We've run into some powerful family bringing their juniors out for training."
The extra Soul Master's face turned ashen. He was the Soul Master that An Feng had mentioned, the one on the other bounty list. He had barely managed to escape a wave of pursuit by losing a teammate, but he had been caught again!
