Chapter 1223 Evil Soul Tool

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the tentacles beneath the metal slowly pierced through the pores and deeply into the black horse's flesh.

Everyone held their breath at that moment, quietly watching the changes unfold before them.

However, after waiting for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the black horse still hadn't changed at all.

Just as everyone was pondering whether anything unusual might happen next, the dark horse quickly became restless.

The reins binding his neck snapped in just a few moments as he struggled violently.

When the black horse turned its head to look at the crowd again, its originally dark eyes had turned blood red.

Then, the black horse roared and spat out a purple flame, attacking the group.

"Be bold!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhiyi's companion Han Yuan shouted loudly, and his third soul ring suddenly lit up with an icy blue soul light.

Then, they coalesced into an ice shield in front of everyone.

The flames spewed onto the ice shield, causing only slight melting marks on the surface, but they couldn't penetrate the defense at all.

At the same time, several guards pulled out a bright silver chain that was only as thick as a little finger, and many chains were thrown at the black horse at the same time.

The black horse was immediately rendered unable to move an inch and could only roar wildly in place.

"How did it suddenly become so violent!"

“I personally trained this black horse, and it has always been very docile.”

Lu Zhiyi looked puzzled, and then he saw Tang Lan walk up and take the metal soul tool that had been placed on the black horse's back.

The black horse, which had been restless, gradually calmed down and eventually stopped resisting.

Tang Lan frowned and fell into deep thought as she looked at the strange metal block covered with tentacles in her hand.

Seeing this, Lü Zhiyi quickly came over to take a look, but he didn't know anything about so-called soul tools, and he wouldn't attribute this strange thing in front of him to a soul tool.

"Your Excellency, what exactly is this thing in your hand?!"

Why could it suddenly cause the black horse to go berserk?

Lu Zhiyi asked tentatively.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a strange soul tool that can parasitize and manipulate the emotions of soul beasts!"

"Its ability should be closely related to this parasitic soul beast. The only ones who can do this are probably those evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult."

Tang Lan knew that the Holy Spirit Cult also had a considerable number of evil Soul Masters.

Only those evil soul masters could create such strange soul tools.

"This"

"If they can mass-produce such evil soul tools, the world will probably really be in chaos."

Soul beasts are not unintelligent; they also experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and will turn and run away in fear when faced with a terrifying enemy.

However, these soul beasts controlled by the evil soul tools were all fearless and seemed to feel no pain at all.

Such spirit beasts are often the most terrifying.

If such controlled soul beasts appear in various places in the future, then the various forces on the human side will suffer heavy losses in a short period of time.

It's hard to say who will be able to stand up to the Holy Spirit Cult at that time. Even the Tang Clan might not be able to withstand such a fearless beast tide.

Even if they manage to block it, they will suffer heavy losses.

"Don't worry, this thing looks very sophisticated. If I'm not mistaken, it should be something no less than a seventh-tier soul tool."

“It won’t be so easy for the Holy Spirit Cult to mass-produce [products].

Tang Lan held the item in her hand and weighed it a few times before smiling and explaining it to Lü Zhiyi.

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhiyi nodded. This was exactly what he had in mind. If such a heaven-defying thing could be mass-produced, it would be terrifying.

But Tang Lan's subsequent reply sent another chill down his spine.

"Although unlimited mass production is impossible, the sheer number of out-of-control soul beasts shows that their output is considerable."

"Of course, it is also possible that they began developing this kind of evil soul tool many years ago."

Even if Tang Lan didn't say anything next, everyone present should be able to guess the cause and effect.

Regardless of the reason, this matter must be taken seriously.

"Alright, I will report this matter to the capital immediately later. I believe that with you present as a witness, His Majesty will be able to come up with a solution as soon as possible."

Now, Lü Zhiyi can only hope that the capital city can provide a reasonable solution.

At least it can provide support to Qingyuan City in terms of economy and manpower.

Qingyuan City is completely unable to cope with the numerous difficulties at hand based on its own strength.

On the streets of Qingyuan City, you'll find many unfamiliar faces suddenly appearing without you even noticing.

They appeared in twos and threes in various places throughout the city, and eventually, some of them even bought an entire estate.

These manors became the residences of these suddenly appearing people.

Without a doubt, these are all experts gathered by the Tang Clan.

Apart from Qingyuan City, which is very close to Xiwan City, the cities near the other two occupied cities have also gathered Tang Clan experts.

Since Tang Lan has already agreed to help Xu Sanshi resolve the current troubles of the Douling Empire, she will definitely do her best.

Moreover, he is now the Grand Preceptor of the Douling Empire, and he also has the imperial sword bestowed upon him by Xu Sanshi. In the entire Douling Empire, he can be considered second only to the emperor.

With the identity granted by the empire, it will be much easier for the Tang Sect to recruit talented disciples in the future.

From this perspective, it can be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement between the two sides.

night.

Tang Lan leaned against the tallest tower in Qingyuan City, quietly watching the night sky in the distance.

Wang Qiu'er slowly pushed open the door and entered, carrying a cup of freshly brewed hot tea.

"You've been standing for a long time, why don't you come in and sit down and rest for a while?"

At this moment, Wang Qiu'er no longer possessed the domineering aura she usually displayed in front of others; she only showed gentle tenderness towards Tang Lan.

She was very grateful for everything Tang Lan had done for her, which also changed the fate of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

"kindness!"

"You seem to have made significant progress in your cultivation recently!"

Tang Lan took the teacup from Wang Qiu'er, and when she touched the beauty's soft hand, Wang Qiu'er blushed slightly and withdrew it shyly.

"Yes, it's all thanks to that magical herb you gave me."

"Without that immortal herb, I wouldn't have broken through to level 80 so quickly."

"If the medicinal power is fully refined, the subsequent breakthrough speed will be even faster."

When Wang Qiu'er mentioned her cultivation level, her face was full of excitement as she explained.

She had always thought that Dragon Soul Grass only existed in legends, but to her surprise, Tang Lan found her one very quickly, and it was even a divine herb that had been growing for hundreds of thousands of years.
