Holy Spirit Cult? Qian Mo's eyes narrowed slightly. I'll remember this grudge.
Le Hanwen thought for a moment and then temporarily let Zhang Quan go, handing him over to Luo Yuhang.
"Root out this nest of Holy Spirit Cult vermin!"
Luo Yuhang nodded heavily, "I will definitely not fail your trust, Senior."
After Luo Yuhang left with Zhang Quan, Le Hanwen said to Qian Mo with a solemn expression, "The Holy Spirit Cult has appeared again recently. Don't use yourself as bait like this in the future."
Qian Mo nodded obediently. When he came, he had felt a repulsive aura following him, so he teamed up with a group of strong individuals to set a trap, using himself as bait by deliberately taking the Soul Tool train alone to give the pursuers a chance.
Although the result was good, this assassination attempt also terrified Qian Mo. He hadn't expected the Holy Spirit Cult to send a Titled Douluo and a three-word Dou Armor Master to kill him.
This time it was a Titled Douluo, what about next time? A Super Douluo, or a Limit Douluo? Qian Mo declared that he would never use the 'using oneself as bait' trick again.
Leaving the scene to the belated enforcement team, Le Hanwen personally took Qian Mo back to Shrek City.
As soon as he entered the Inner Courtyard, Qian Mo saw Gu Yuena, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi, all looking anxious.
"Na'er," Qian Mo called out softly. Gu Yuena suddenly looked up at Qian Mo, her amethyst-like eyes lit up, and she immediately threw herself into Qian Mo's embrace.
"Don't do such dangerous things in the future, okay?" Gu Yuena's gentle voice sounded in Qian Mo's ear.
It seemed Gu Yuena already knew what had happened. Qian Mo's expression also softened, and he whispered, "No problem, I've learned my lesson this time too. I'll never do this again."
"Mm."
After they hugged for a while, when Gu Yuena left Qian Mo's embrace, Qian Mo looked at Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, who were awkwardly looking at each other.
"I just heard the news at the academy that you were attacked by Evil Soul Masters. If Teacher hadn't stopped her, Sister Na'er would have almost rushed out of the academy to find you." Xu Lizhi scratched his head and asked with concern, "Mo Ge, how are you? Are you injured?"
Qian Mo waved his hand and reassured them, "Don't worry, I'm completely fine, just my clothes are a little dirty."
"This assassination attempt by the Evil Soul Masters was originally a trap set for them. Everything was within my control."
"It's good that you're alright," Ye Xinglan said from the side. "Otherwise, I would have lost a target to chase."
Qian Mo rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Don't worry, your target will definitely die after you do."
"Alright, you've seen me, I'm completely fine. Let's disperse, everyone go home!" Qian Mo said.
Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi said goodbye and left. Qian Mo and Gu Yuena strolled along the tree-lined path beside Sea God Lake, chatting about Qian Mo's attack experience as they walked.
After Qian Mo finished briefly explaining, he asked, "Na'er, is there any news about that mental attribute spirit soul I need?"
Gu Yuena pinched her chin and hesitated before saying, "I went back to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and asked Teacher to check. We did find a very strong mental attribute spirit soul."
"It's just that this spirit soul is not easy to subdue!"
"Not easy to subdue, could it be an Unyielding Spirit Soul!" Qian Mo's eyes flickered after hearing Gu Yuena's description, clearly showing considerable interest.
Unyielding Spirit Souls are a very special type of spirit soul. They are usually very powerful, but due to their pride or untamed nature, they cannot be absorbed. If a Spirit Master tries to forcibly absorb them, it will definitely result in a life-threatening situation.
If what Gu Yuena described was an Unyielding Spirit Soul, then the quality of this mental attribute spirit soul must be extremely high. Qian Mo wasn't afraid of a spirit soul being difficult to subdue, only of its quality being poor.
Gu Yuena nodded slightly and affirmed, "That's right, an Unyielding Spirit Soul. The Evil Eye Tyrant, have you heard of it?"
"The same race as the Evil Emperor, who was once ranked second among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts." Qian Mo's face showed a look of surprise. This was a truly super mental type Spirit Beast.
"That's right, what about this spirit soul?" Gu Yuena asked.
"This is the one," Qian Mo decided. "I'll go fuse with it tomorrow."
"Are you sure? Unyielding Spirit Souls are not just ordinarily difficult to absorb," Gu Yuena said worriedly.
Qian Mo tapped his own head and said confidently, "My Spirit Sea realm mental force isn't just for show. Plus, my Spirit is already of an extremely high rank. Subduing an Evil Eye Tyrant will be easy."
"As long as you're confident," Gu Yuena believed Qian Mo one hundred percent.
...
The next day, Qian Mo and Gu Yuena came to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters and met Leng Yaozhu.
"You want to fuse with the Evil Eye Tyrant spirit soul? No problem. But you are responsible for your own life and death. Have you thought it through?" Leng Yaozhu stared intently into Qian Mo's eyes and said each word clearly.
Qian Mo said decisively, "I have already thought it through. I am responsible for my own life and death. Also..."
Qian Mo's lips slowly curved upwards, "I won't make risky moves anymore."
Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, "Alright, let's go."
Led by Leng Yaozhu, the three of them arrived at a completely circular hall.
This hall was several hundred meters in diameter and over fifty meters high. The top was triangular, and at the very top, a gem seemed to be suspended, emitting a faint golden glow.
In the center of the hall, there was a high platform. The base of the platform was hexagonal with steps leading up. The top was like an altar, covering an area of a hundred square meters. In the very center of the platform was a golden light gate over fifteen meters high.
Various equipment surrounded the hall, and hundreds of staff members were working there.
"This is the Spirit Soul Tower?" Qian Mo raised an eyebrow. The one he saw at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda in Nanyang City back then was at most a side entrance. The one in front of him now was the true entrance to the Spirit Soul Tower.
"High-quality spirit souls like the Evil Eye Tyrant are mostly stored in the Spirit Soul Tower." Leng Yaozhu pointed to the golden light gate.
"Go ahead, I've made the arrangements."
"Good luck, be careful." Gu Yuena reminded him.
Qian Mo walked up the steps towards the great door leading to the Spirit Soul Tower. With one step in, golden light filled the air, and his figure disappeared into the golden light gate.
Stepping into the golden light gate didn't give him the dizzying sensation of entering the Spirit Ascension Platform. It was as if he had just stepped through a large door; with just a flash of golden light, Qian Mo saw the scene before him clearly.
This was an octagonal hall, at least three hundred meters in diameter, extremely vast. In the center of the hall was a creature shaped like a giant eye, with several thick, long tentacles.
An Evil Eye Tyrant, a powerful and evil Spirit Beast, extremely skilled in extremely violent mental attacks.
Although Qian Mo was quite confident on the surface, he wouldn't truly let down his guard. Spirit Beasts like the Evil Eye Tyrant were very sinister. Even when the Evil Emperor was killed by Huo Yuhao back then, he was able to hide his soul within a spirit ring, causing the nearly fully developed Huo Yuhao to suffer a considerable loss.
