"Oh? Making a move against Yuhao and Gu Yuena?"
At the Spirit Transmission Tower, Hua Yichen turned to look at the evil spirit master Luo Ziyang had brought back. He let out a cold snort. In his hand appeared a jade flute, its body carved with nine layers of sound patterns. Behind him, rings of spirit rings rose one by one.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red — nine spirit rings shimmered with light.
The evil spirit master was now awake. Looking at the cold-faced Carefree Douluo and the exceptionally dazzling spirit rings surrounding him, he felt both remorse and inward fury.
Couldn't your Spirit Transmission Tower's geniuses carry some conspicuous logos?
Why is it that something all your civilian geniuses have — your core disciples don't like to wear! I saw them walking back and forth at the Mecha Designer Association, being treated favorably by the association's executives, and thought they were geniuses of the Mecha Designer Association!
This is fraud, fraud!
I'll be sure to investigate thoroughly before making a move next time... if there is a next time.
The evil-looking man revealed a look of despair.
The branch tower masters of the Spirit Transmission Tower's Eighteen Heavenly Pillars were at least Level 95 or above — Super Douluos, Three-Word Battle Armor Masters. Some important branches were even personally guarded by Limit Douluos and Four-Word Battle Armor Masters. Having fallen into the hands of the man before him, he was finished.
And at this moment, Hua Yichen had also placed the jade flute to his lips. His fourth spirit ring lit up, and he began to play.
Fourth Spirit Ability — Soul-Calming Dirge!
The sound of the flute was like a clear spring in the mountains — clear and tranquil. The evil spirit master's vision began to blur.
After a moment, Hua Yichen had Luo Ziyang take the dazed man away. He then thoughtfully took out his soul tool communicator and first relayed the information to Guang Biao.
The Mecha Brigade was the true true guardian force of Eastsea City.
The evil spirit masters' target was the Mecha Designer Association members — Tang Ziran and his wife.
Having done this, Hua Yichen dialed another number.
"This is the Eastsea Branch. Connect me to the Execution Department — Dark Phoenix Douluo."
"Yes!"
From the other end came the staff member's response. Soon, a cool female voice sounded.
"What is it? I'm in the Extreme North right now."
"..."
Not to be rude, but how many years had you been in the Extreme North? Wasn't being thrown into the Extreme North for ten years by the head of the Leng Clan back then enough?
You hadn't gone from one extreme to the other, had you?
Hua Yichen clicked his tongue inwardly. He felt it was best not to ask about that matter. He simply went straight to the point. "Evil spirit masters have appeared in Eastsea City. I caught one here and obtained the location of a possible evil spirit master base — over in Tianhai City. Just letting you know. But it's very likely a fake base meant to mislead..."
"I'll arrange for someone to investigate." Hearing the words "evil spirit master," Leng Yulai's tone grew even colder. "Anything else?"
"No."
"Goodbye!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other side hung up. Hua Yichen looked at his soul tool communicator with some helplessness.
Ever since that incident back then, Dark Phoenix Douluo had harbored a deep hatred for evil spirit masters. Mentioning them would worsen her mood. This was probably displaced anger, wasn't it?
Don't forget — you were the one who originally wanted to become an evil spirit master...
Shaking his head, Hua Yichen stopped thinking about it. He prepared to wait quietly for the Tianhai Execution Department to send him news.
Resisting evil spirit masters was everyone's responsibility. There was actually no need for a dedicated department. The Execution Department's main task wasn't even to eliminate evil spirit masters. It was just that they were more good at dealing with them.
The Execution Department's main task was to supervise those with the potential to become evil spirit masters. Its members all had the potential to become evil spirit masters themselves and were also the ones who best understood their methods.
Take Dark Phoenix Douluo, for example — after that incident back then, the head of the Leng Clan had thrown her into the Execution Department. All members of this department were both members of the Spirit Transmission Tower and subjects of Supervision.
The reason this department was established was actually somewhat related to Spirit Souls.
Different Spirit Souls had different criteria for choosing contractors. But as long as they had high intelligence, one standard was common: they... really, really hated evil spirit masters. They would absolutely not sign contracts with evil spirit masters — they would even avoid spirit masters who had the potential to become evil spirit masters.
In their words: Evil spirit masters only care about themselves. Most of them don't even care about their own descendants. Facing various pursuits every day, living without knowing if they'll see tomorrow — why would we sign contracts with such people? Are we tired of living? Why should our peers be respected as ancestors and enjoy long lifespans while we have to live such hard lives?
Under these circumstances, even the Human-Faced Demon Spider Spirit Soul — which the Sea God himself had evaluated as evil — would first think about not wanting to sign a contract with a suspected evil martial soul owner when encountering one, afraid of getting on the wrong ship.
But martial souls were innate. Some people were born with martial souls that could become evil martial souls. To cut off their hopes of becoming spirit masters solely because of their martial souls might very well be driving these people down the extreme path. Moreover, Spirit Souls compatible with this type of martial soul also needed somewhere to go.
Thus, after internal discussions and communication with the Federation, the Spirit Transmission Tower had established the Execution Department specifically for supervision.
Spirit masters with the potential to become evil spirit masters could sign Spirit Soul contracts at the Spirit Transmission Tower. However, as a condition of the Tower persuading Spirit Souls to enter into a contract, these individuals — regardless of whether they joined the Tower's Execution Department — would undergo a probationary period. At regular intervals, they would need to visit the Spirit Transmission Tower or a relevant Federation agency to complete a simple task.
In front of Execution Department members and Federation government personnel, they had to confront their own Spirit Soul!
If a Spirit Soul had signed a Spirit Soul contract, wouldn't it know what methods a spirit master was using to cultivate?
If a spirit master absorbed life force to cultivate, the Spirit Soul could also sense perception to it!
They didn't ask the person — they only asked the Spirit Soul. If your Spirit Soul said you had no problems, that was sufficient. And because Execution Department members, due to their martial souls, were also very familiar with the methods of evil spirit masters, cheating was basically impossible.
After several years of consecutive investigations, confirming that the spirit master had not been affected by their martial soul, they would gradually extend the review period — from once a year to once every several years... finally relax and relax.
The Execution Department used the same method internally.
This supervision method did not make people feel oppressed. After all, as the supervisor, the Spirit Soul couldn't actually keep an eye on you. It was only through the contract's feedback that it knew whether you had used evil spirit master methods to improve yourself.
Those with a clear conscience would naturally not be nervous or afraid because of this.
In the eyes of some spirit masters, it was actually the Spirit Soul that gave them the opportunity to prove their innocence.
When they were suspected of being evil spirit masters by others because of their martial souls, they could summon their Spirit Soul and say:
"I am not an evil spirit master — my Spirit Soul can testify for me!"
While waiting for news, Hua Yichen also recalled the history of the Execution Department's establishment. He sighed inwardly.
Now, the bond between Spirit Souls and humans was growing deeper and deeper. The bond between the Spirit Transmission Tower and spirit beasts was also growing deeper and deeper.
To the point where even people who could easily be misunderstood as evil spirit masters in the past were gradually being trusted by others because of the Spirit Soul contract.
To open another new path for spirit beasts and humans.
The Spirit Transmission Tower had gradually realized this original goal.
Then, this prosperous age — does it meet your expectations, First Generation Tower Master?
