Chapter 53: Building a Wolftaken Legion, Old Jack's Tragic End



Lu Yu was very surprised—how could Wolftaken appear here?

He was the only one in the entire isolated village!

Could it be his scent that attracted this group of hungry predators?

Or was it possible they were passing by and accidentally discovered him?

If this had happened before, Lu Yu would have chosen to flee and hide in a safe place.

But now, Lu Yu decided to take the initiative.

With his strength, dealing with a dozen Wolftaken was more than enough.

Just right; he could also try out his new Soul Skill.

And, by the way, add some undead to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Spatial Head Soul Bone Soul Skill, Mirror Space!"

A white light emanated from Lu Yu's forehead.

The next moment...

The surrounding Void rippled like water.

Lu Yu's figure moved through the Mirror Space like Gui Mei.

The Wolftaken were stunned by this bizarre scene, standing frozen in place.

They had no idea where Lu Yu was.

"Roar..."

A shrill scream echoed among the Wolftaken.

One Wolftaken had its chest pierced by Lu Yu's Qilin Right Arm, its heart brutally crushed.

Lu Yu held the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his left hand, smoothly collecting the soul of the fallen foe.

All of this was completed in the blink of an eye.

By the time the other Wolftaken wanted revenge, Lu Yu's figure had already vanished.

Lu Yu immediately launched another attack!

He didn't want to waste too much time.

One by one, the Wolftaken fell.

Fear spread among the remaining Wolftaken.

In their eyes, Lu Yu was a demon.

Killing people and collecting their souls.

Appearing and disappearing like a ghost, completely untargetable.

No matter how sensitive their sense of smell or how fast they were,

They couldn't compare to Lu Yu, who could traverse the Void.

Not long after...

All the Wolftaken were dead.

Lu Yu's Ten Thousand Souls Banner had gained many new souls.

"If any more pass by in the future, they will all stay," he thought with a smile.

He didn't mind if more Wolftaken came.

These were good materials for filling the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Wolftaken are powerful!

Five hundred Wolftaken could equal a ten-thousand-man army.

Once, a ten-thousand-man legion of the Heaven Dou Empire was completely wiped out by five hundred Wolftaken.

If Lu Yu could refine thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Wolftaken,

Then he alone would be equivalent to a vast army.

"Perhaps I should try something else!"

Lu Yu waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, releasing a Wolftaken.

Then he used a Clone to control the Wolftaken's consciousness.

This was equivalent to one of his Clones!

Lu Yu could use this Clone to cause trouble outside.

Holy Soul Village...

Old Jack looked up at the village entrance sign with a contented expression.

The thought of Tang San becoming a god, and the village's name being changed to Divine Soul Village, made Old Jack excited.

A god had emerged from the village.

This was a great honor.

It would become a legendary tale in their village from now on.

Old Jack's mind was wildly fantasizing.

Suddenly, a figure gradually appeared in his line of sight.

He focused his gaze.

He quickly recognized this as a Spirit Hall Soul Master.

Moreover, the other party was an old acquaintance—Su Yuntao, who had once come to the village to preside over Martial Soul Awakening for the children.

"Soul Master, why have you come?"

"Is it not yet time for Martial Soul Awakening this year?"

Old Jack respectfully stepped forward, his tone full of doubt.

As Su Yuntao arrived, many villagers were attracted.

Every year, when the Spirit Hall Soul Master graced them with his presence, it was the liveliest day.

After all, Spirit Masters were inherently nobler than ordinary people.

Su Yuntao gazed at Old Jack, his expression indifferent.

"From today onward, Spirit Hall will no longer preside over Martial Soul Awakening for anyone in Holy Soul Village."

"Furthermore, any villager of Holy Soul Village— even if they become a Soul Master— will forever be unable to enjoy Spirit Hall's subsidies."

Carrying Spirit Hall's decree, Su Yuntao coldly declared.

He hadn't expected that he had personally presided over the Martial Soul Awakening for Tang San— this evil brat.

Su Yuntao was a loyal member of Spirit Hall.

He had become a Soul Master and cultivated to this day thanks to Spirit Hall's support.

Tang San was an enemy of Spirit Hall, wanting to destroy it.

Su Yuntao naturally regarded him as an enemy.

He regretted not paying enough attention to Tang San back then.

He hadn't reported the other party's situation to Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, Spirit Hall might have been able to nip this evil brat in the bud earlier.

Tang San had been deceiving people since childhood.

He possessed Twin Martial Souls, yet he concealed it from Su Yuntao.

He came with sincerity, freely awakening Martial Souls for commoners.

But what he got in return was this result!

"What?!"

"Spirit Hall will no longer help Holy Soul Village? So, our village's children will have no hope?"

Su Yuntao's words immediately caused a violent uproar.

Every villager's face showed panic.

They didn't care whether Tang San could become a god.

After all, even if the other party became a god, it had nothing to do with them.

They only cared about immediate benefits.

If there were no Spirit Hall, Holy Soul Village would never produce another Soul Master.

What would happen to children aged six and above?

Old Jack's face changed drastically.

He had originally hoped that next year, a few more talented children would emerge, become Soul Masters, and bring glory and pride to Holy Soul Village.

As the village chief, the honor of the village was his greatest responsibility.

But now, Spirit Hall would no longer provide assistance to Holy Soul Village.

This instantly made Old Jack panic.

"Soul Master, absolutely not!"

"If you have any grievances, you can direct them at me alone. Please don't implicate the other villagers."

Old Jack pleaded humbly.

Su Yuntao snorted coldly and turned to leave.

No matter how much Old Jack begged, this matter would not change.

As you sow, so shall you reap.

The future of Holy Soul Village was ruined in Old Jack's hands.

Watching Su Yuntao's resolute departure,

The villagers of Holy Soul Village all blamed their anger on Old Jack.

"Old Jack, look what you've done!"

"Our village's children can no longer become Soul Masters because of you."

"It's all your fault for helping Tang San back then."

"Because of an outsider, you've ruined the foundation of our entire village."

Although Old Jack was usually highly respected and had helped many people,

Human nature is often ugly.

Now that everyone knew Spirit Hall would no longer assist Holy Soul Village, they all wished they could tear Old Jack apart.

Some hot-tempered villagers even punched and kicked him.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault."

"My child will be six next year!"

"He was supposed to become a Soul Master, but you ruined his future."

"Without Spirit Hall, our children will be forever stuck in the mountains."

In the shadows, a Spirit Beast with intelligence flashed a mocking look in its eyes.

"It seems I don't need to act."

"These humans are all so selfish."

"For profit, they always like to kill each other."

"When I return, I will report all of this truthfully to the Beast God."
