Chapter 223 The Weird Cleanup Team
"Brother, we..."
The person who left with Long Zungui was his brother Long Shougui. Not long after leaving Wang Nan's house, Long Shougui couldn't help but speak.
"Don't talk, just keep moving forward." Long Zungui said in a low voice, and just kept moving forward until he was far away and blended into the crowd, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"We dare not speculate on the strength of a Titled Douluo. He might have heard what we said just now."
"Brother, do we really want to do this?" Long Shougui also glanced in the direction of Wang Nan's house from a distance, and then retracted his gaze.
"My Long family was able to move around in various places, and even though we were not strong enough, we were able to gain some status in Tiandou City. This was because we were able to judge the situation."
"But you also know the news from the Pan family. If this continues, I'm afraid you won't make any progress in your cultivation in this lifetime."
"I know." Long Zungui sighed, "It was because the Pan family told us the secret of the Panlong Stick that I made that decision."
"You just saw it. After so many years, he was able to awaken the dragon soul without any guidance, and even got the recognition of the ancestors. Such a person must be very talented and have good character. Now that Tiandou City has been destroyed, my Long family will not suffer any loss if we rely on such a person."
"Besides, our Panlong Staff martial spirits are originally from the same source." Long Zungui stayed there for a while, and when he saw that no one around noticed the two of them, he walked towards a residential area. "As for cultivation... In order to awaken the dragon spirit, all children in the clan are not allowed to participate in clan affairs from now on."
"A pure heart has a better chance of awakening the dragon soul. As for these family matters, let us adults who have no future shoulder them. When they grow up, they will understand our good intentions."
When the Long family was first captured, Long Zungui did think about finding someone to rescue them, and even asked Wang Nan about it. But Wang Nan was not at home at the time, and after a few months, everyone knew that the chances of those children surviving were slim, and Long Zungui's purpose was not as simple as it was at the beginning.
After the long-standing Tiandou City was destroyed, the family had to find a support.
Long Shougui looked at his brother who was walking in front of him with a hunched back and sighed, but in the end he said nothing more and just followed him silently.
……
As the sky gradually darkened, Wang Nan had already arrived in the Tianhun Empire. With his current cultivation, distance was no longer an obstacle for him. As long as he wanted, it wouldn't take him too long to travel across the entire Douluo Continent.
He had always known about the Holy Spirit Church, and it was precisely because he knew too much that he had not taken the initiative to take action. But now that he had the news about the evil soul master, he didn't mind coming here regardless of whether he could save those children or not.
Wang Nan has never changed. It is because he came from another world and because of his ordinariness in his previous life that he always has those ordinary people who are not soul masters in his eyes. He is sad and angry because of the tragic experiences of ordinary people.
Ever since Tiandou City was breached, the defense line of the Tianhun Empire has moved all the way south. Even the capital Tiandou City could not be defended, and other cities were even more unable to resist. Most of the territory fell into the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Therefore, not long after Wang Nan entered the territory of the Tianhun Empire and crossed the Lima Plain, he soon saw several soul instructor groups stationed on the front line of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Even at night, the place where the Sun-Moon Empire's army was stationed was still brightly lit. With his powerful mental power and the perception of a Titled Douluo, Wang Nan could sense invisible waves sweeping back and forth over the camp. Without getting close, he flew along the Sun-Moon Empire's defense line for most of the circle, and Wang Nan saw a city in the distance.
Tianling City. The army of the Tianhun Empire deployed its defenses here, with camps connected to the sky and the ground.
On the other side was also a military camp with no end in sight, and between the military camps was a vast plain. However, at this time, the original plants were no longer on the plain, and it was full of potholes and pits. From time to time, one could see broken corpses.
The battlefield was never pretty. The Sun-Moon Empire seemed to have just finished its attack. The pits left on the plain still had some residual heat from the soul guide attack, and the blood-soaked soil was blown everywhere.
The trees were uprooted, the vegetation disappeared, everything was charred, and the river in the distance had already become turbid.
Under the attack of the Sun-Moon Empire, the army of the Sky Soul Empire could only rely on the formations set up in Tianling City to resist. By this time it was already late in the evening, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Sun-Moon Empire withdraw its troops, secretly thanking themselves for having held on for another day.
However, not long after the Sun-Moon Empire's army returned to the camp, another small group of troops emerged from the Sun-Moon Empire's camp.
They wore dark clothes and took advantage of the battle to carry back the bodies scattered around the battlefield.
There is nothing wrong with collecting corpses and cleaning up the battlefield after a battle, but it would be a big problem if the person who came to clean up the battlefield was an evil soul master.
When Wang Nan arrived at the battlefield, the Sun Moon Empire had already stopped attacking the city, and he happened to see the teams cleaning up the battlefield coming out of the barracks. As soon as they appeared, the Tianye Fusheng Dragon in the Sea of Spirit had already become faintly active.
Not all of these people are evil soul masters, but there is no doubt that there are evil soul masters among them.
Wang Nan moved a little closer. Although it was night, with his current eyesight, he could still see that the corpse-collecting team sent by the Sun-Moon Empire was not simple. The leader was holding a square-shaped soul guide in his hand. The outer shell was made of translucent material, and there was a gray light flickering inside.
It seemed like a grey lamp was lit, and it also seemed like a door leading to another world.
As the team continued to move around the battlefield, the gray light in the soul guide became brighter and brighter.
Even if Wang Nan didn't recognize the soul guide in their hands, he could probably guess what it was used for. The evil soul master's methods were nothing more than those related to the soul.
Once the war started, the number of casualties was incalculable. This battlefield was probably just a microcosm. The Holy Spirit Church had taken countless souls during this period. Some evil soul masters might not be able to harvest as much as the Holy Spirit Church did in one battle.
Not only the armies of the three empires, but even the Sun-Moon Empire and even the disciples of their own sects will eventually become their food.
The team that came out to clean up the battlefield was composed of soul masters. While Wang Nan was thinking, they had already cleaned up the entire battlefield, leaving behind scattered equipment, broken soul guides, broken corpses, and even souls.
Wang Nan looked at the two empires facing each other dozens of miles apart, and realized that it was impossible to enter the original Tianhun Empire from here.
