Chapter 396 "What a beast!"

Soon after.

Wuhun City, Wuhun Palace.

After two months of seclusion in ice and fire, Shi Yueyi and Qian Renxue have returned here. Shi Yueyi successfully completed the refining of the last ball of energy origin, and his cultivation was improved again.

"Young Master, Saint, the Pope asked me to invite you two over." A maid stood at the door of their room and said softly.

"Okay, got it. We'll be there in a moment." The soundproof barrier in the room was broken, and Shi Yueyi's voice was heard.

The door opened, and the two of them finished their training, feeling refreshed.

Qian Renxue said: "Why did she look for you?"

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the changes in Dai Mubai and others that I mentioned before?"

They came to the Pope's Palace and found Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong was handling official business. When she saw them coming, she didn't waste any words. She picked up a report from the table and handed it to them: "Sit down, you can take a look at this."

Qian Renxue and Shi Yueyi looked at each other, the latter took the report, and the two sat down side by side on the sofa nearby.

"I left the Kingdom of Orleans in the Xingluo Empire behind on purpose." Bibi Dong pressed her temple. "This kingdom is relatively weak, and the royal family and Spirit Hall have also created a false impression. As you can see, the bishop of Spirit Hall was bribed by the royal family. But I didn't expect that Dai Mubai would be thrown there directly by the Xingluo Emperor."

Bibi Dong did the same thing in her previous life. She knew that the overall national strength of the Xingluo Empire was above that of Tiandou, so she had a hidden chess piece. In her previous life, this hidden chess piece was the source of Bibi Dong's knowledge of the internal intelligence of the Xingluo Empire.

Moreover, when the Wuhun Empire was founded, it successfully counterattacked the Xingluo Royal Family, causing the other party's national strength to be drastically reduced. The Wuhun Empire was able to fully deal with the alliance of the top three sects of the Tiandou Empire.

"Well, Pope, please continue." Shi Yueyi flipped through the report, which also recorded Dai Mubai's approach to the Sea Soul Master.

"Now Dai Mubai has entered the inner circle of the royal family. Strangely, he did not implement any iron-blooded policies like other nobles of the Xingluo Empire. Instead, he reduced taxes there. Then he persuaded the royal family to give people equal job opportunities and even wanted to abolish the existence of slaves." Bibi Dong frowned, "Is it because he suffered in the royal struggle that he became kind-hearted?"

"Then we might as well believe that a sow can climb a tree." Shi Yueyi put away the report. "The slave labor situation in the Xingluo Empire is even more serious than that in the Tiandou Empire. The Tiandou Empire has been working on reforms for several years before it has achieved some results. It is simply a fantasy for him to achieve this goal in one step."

The idea that humans should work equally to earn wages was very advanced at that time, especially in the Star Luo Empire.

"There is no doubt that he wants to win over the people's hearts." Qian Renxue said, "He wants to build a team for himself."

"Too naive." Shi Yueyi crossed her fingers. "In this situation, the slave owners and nobles have already accumulated a certain amount of capital, while ordinary people and former slaves can be said to be penniless. In other words, he proposed a strategy that seems equal, but there is no equality at the starting line. It is just that the overt oppression has become a soft one."

"This is the news I just received." Bibi Dong handed over another piece of information, "The messenger of the sea soul master came back seven days ago and brought back a lot of rare metals, similar to the deep-sea silver that the saint had found on the seabed before. These things were made into special..."

She seemed to have no idea how to describe it: "Humanoid puppet armor?"

Shi Yueyi looked at the picture in the intelligence and his eyes widened. Isn't this the plus version of the humanoid soul guide mecha designed by Mr. Kong Deming ten thousand years later?

"Does he want to replace humans with machines? Then let humans have nothing to do but practice? Tang San on Sea God Island also taught him Xuantian Gong? Isn't this a big step?" She looked strange, "He wants to build his own armed forces?"

"And there is one more thing." Qian Renxue said coldly, "If slave owners and nobles no longer keep slaves, then the survival of these slaves will become a problem, because not everyone can find a suitable job and a way to survive. Without someone to guide them, where should they go?"

"I'll have someone keep an eye on it." Bibi Dong knocked on her desk. "Also, I've almost figured out the path to the Death Spider King's promotion. Xiaoxue... I'll be waiting for you."

……

Another three months passed.

"What?" October 1 was shocked.

She received news that those humanoid soul-guided mechas seemed to be able to move and fight!

"To control the mecha, you must have enough mental power to connect it. Generally speaking, it requires at least the mental power of a soul king. And if it is not operated properly, it will directly drain the mental power of the human soul master. Where did Dai Mubai and his team find such a talented spiritual soul master? Does the Spirit Hall have no information at all? When did spiritual soul masters become so rampant?"

The person who came to report was a member of the Shadow Guard that Qian Renxue had once formed. The members of this guard were spread all over the continent, so in her previous life, Qian Renxue could clearly know Tang San's every move in the Star Luo Empire even if she was in the Tiandou Palace.

"Your Highness..." The man seemed to be hesitant. "I once went to a warehouse where these mechas were stored at night, and then... I heard crying sounds coming from inside, but there didn't seem to be any humans among them."

"What the hell, is there such a thing?" Shi Yueyi frowned, "The mecha is alive? It has a soul?"

"In addition, there is one more thing." The subordinate added, "Some slaves in the Orleans area lost their jobs and were taken in by Dai Mubai and his men. One of our brothers also lurked there, and then..."

Qian Renxue glanced at him and said, "Don't hesitate, just say it directly."

"Then tell them that their job is to give birth to children. Do you think the souls in this mecha come from these children?" The subordinate felt his heart beating fast. "My brother said that Dai Mubai seems to know a lot about martial spirits. He specially selects some martial spirits that may have spiritual attributes and lets them breed."

"What a beast!" Qian Renxue was furious. "The mecha that can move now, can't it be that the human soul is directly integrated into it? Does he have this kind of technology?"

Shi Yueyi suddenly said, "You said, is there a possibility that there may be other people involved behind this matter? For example, among the fallen people who are still fleeing on the mainland, there should be someone who has the means to extract souls. Or, did someone teach him?"

"Who is it? Tang Chen? Or Tang San?" Qian Renxue was really angry because of the angel spirit's instinctive disgust for the evil and fallen.

Ghost Douluo’s martial soul is a ghost, and Elder Nightmare’s martial soul is a nightmare tapir, but they have not done such cruel things.

Dai Mubai indeed does not have an evil martial spirit, and the evil eyes of the evil-eyed white tiger are just a description.

But since he is treating human life as worthless, can't he be called an evil soul master?
