Everyone ate a meal in the military camp. Soon, the latest intelligence arrived: about half a month ago, their target, after robbing a group of merchants, had fled into the interior of the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

This was all the information the military could provide. Because they might enter the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, Dai Hao could not offer them any manpower assistance, and even the flying spirit tools he lent them could not be taken across the border.

Time was pressing. They still had to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Combat Tournament. After confirming the intelligence and obtaining a map, the group set off immediately.

After leaving the military camp, they no longer had to be so careful with their words. Ling Luochen finally found an opportunity to come to Yuwen Tuo's side. "Little Tuo, judging by Duke White Tiger's strange attitude towards you just now, he might really know something about you. Why don't you ask him clearly?"

"If he were willing to say, he would have explained it just now. Didn't I try to sound him out? But he evaded the topic, clearly unwilling to answer. So what's the use of me asking?" Yuwen Tuo said indifferently. "Besides, what he knows at most is about my background. Such insignificant matters are not the information I truly desire."

"Insignificant?" Ling Luochen was stunned. When Yuwen Tuo said this, his tone was very calm.

He was sincere; his background truly was just a small matter to him.

Ling Luochen was somewhat puzzled. Don't people usually desire what they lack the most?

Yuwen Tuo had been an orphan since childhood. Shouldn't he be more eager to find out where he came from and why his parents abandoned him?

Actually, her thoughts were correct. The problem was, Yuwen Tuo didn't feel he lacked parental love.

In his second life, he had his Master and Mistress, which was enough. His Master was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Even after his Mistress reverted to her demonic form, she always found it difficult to be harsh with him.

To live one life like this was sufficient; Yuwen Tuo didn't need other parents.

He was now only interested in information about evil soul masters.

At this moment, Zhou Yi said, "Everyone, we are preparing to land. I've just scouted the surrounding situation."

"Wenlan Trees have already appeared nearby. This type of tree is quite rare, and its heartwood can be used in medicine. I read in an ancient text that Wenlan Trees grow at least fifty li deep into dense forests, and this tree prefers yin and cold environments, providing good auxiliary effects for soul masters cultivating yin-cold martial souls."

"This means we've already entered deep into the Ming Dou Mountain Range, right?" Yuwen Tuo said. "In that case, I'll part ways with everyone here."

He hadn't joined the Shrek Inspection Team, so naturally, he couldn't act together with them.

How could an outsider participate in a secret operation? Not to mention the teachers, even the students wouldn't feel at ease.

"Little Tuo... be careful with everything!" Ling Luochen knew Yuwen Tuo's plans. She couldn't stop him, only repeatedly admonish him.

"You too, Sister Luochen. Remember to wear the clothes I gave you. If you encounter danger, don't hesitate to use them immediately." After Yuwen Tuo finished speaking, he turned and flapped his Flame Wings, flying off in another direction.

After separating from the group, Yuwen Tuo glanced behind him and finally chose the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

This was not only due to his own wishes but also out of necessity.

Not long after he flew off, Xuan Zi's figure appeared where he had just been.

He was worried that Yuwen Tuo would take this opportunity to leave, so he was here to monitor him entering the Ming Dou Mountain Range, where the evil soul masters resided. After all, once Yuwen Tuo gained freedom and achieved success in his future cultivation, apart from the evil soul masters, the second target of his revenge would likely be Shrek.

"I'm sorry, child," Xuan Zi said in a low voice. He had no choice. Shrek could not openly commit an act of repaying kindness with enmity, so he would not directly kill Yuwen Tuo.

But since Yuwen Tuo chose not to join the Inspection Team, when the other members of the Inspection Team were carrying out their mission, he, as the team leader, naturally had to prioritize the safety of the other members.

Even if Yuwen Tuo encountered evil soul masters alone, he would inevitably be "too late" to rescue him.

Xuan Zi didn't think Yuwen Tuo could make it out of the Ming Dou Mountain Range alive. According to existing intelligence, the evil soul masters in the Ming Dou Mountain Range were at least at the Soul King level.

And the combat power of evil soul masters was often a cut above that of soul masters of the same rank.

No matter how skilled Yuwen Tuo's swordsmanship was, he might be able to contend with an ordinary Soul King, but as a three-ringed soul master, he would definitely be no match for a Soul King-level evil soul master.

Yuwen Tuo landed in a dark area of the mountain range.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. This evil soul master resided in a cave year-round, and a cave always had more than one entrance and exit.

At this time, with the rest of the Inspection Team on one side and Yuwen Tuo on the other, it could be said that they had completely surrounded the evil soul master.

From the depths of the darkness, a sharp, long cry echoed from within the cave. "Who dares to oppose me, the Death God's Emissary? You all shall die! I will turn you all into my corpse slaves!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..." Violent rumblings resounded one after another within the cave. Incredibly terrifying explosions, accompanied by flesh and blood, scattered and flew everywhere inside the cave.

"It seems the corpse explosion over there has already begun." Yuwen Tuo closed his eyes, quietly sensing the aura within the cave.

He wasn't concerned about the situation over there. Ling Luochen had a sixth-rank defensive spirit tool; a corpse explosion from a five-ringed evil soul master wouldn't pose a fatal threat to her. As for the others, it was none of his business even if they all died.

"It should be... over there, right?" Yuwen Tuo looked towards the left side of the cave. He could feel that his soul, the Xuanyuan Sword Soul, was extremely averse to the aura in that direction. If he wasn't mistaken, that direction was the ritual site where the evil soul master usually sacrificed innocent lives.

Later, after that evil soul master was defeated by the Shrek Inspection Team, he would definitely flee in this direction. At that time, he just needed to wait for his prey.

Yuwen Tuo knew that this evil soul master's origin was not ordinary. He possessed elemental spirit tool bombs and could use them to perform corpse explosions.

These spirit tool bombs were not something an ordinary person could research; they must have come from the Sun Moon Empire.

In another passage of the cave, the Shrek Inspection Team had already suffered heavy losses.

Chen Zifeng was blasted to the side, his right leg gone. His body was also being corroded by deadly poison, and he was constantly screaming in agony.

He wasn't the only one severely injured.

Gongyang Mo was not much better off. As an auxiliary-type soul master, his defense was weaker, and moreover, the corpse explosion had come so suddenly. Caught off guard, his chest, abdomen, and legs were all mangled, and he had already fainted from the pain.

Conversely, Yao Haoxuan, who should have died in the original story, apart from being slightly poisoned, was not too severely injured at the moment. Because he was responsible for protecting the control-type soul master Ling Luochen, he was actually protected by Ling Luochen's ice wall.

As for Ling Luochen herself, due to the existence of the sixth-rank defensive spirit tool, she needed no one's protection.

A fifth-level corpse explosion could not break through a sixth-rank Tidal Shield.

This was good too; it would save Ling Luochen from a lifetime of guilt over Yao Haoxuan's death.
