158: Conflict and estrangement

Nalali's memories, along with the formation of the brand, gradually flooded into Shen Guyan's mind.

This was the life of an Evil Soul Master; no one provided help, no one restrained their behavior, and even fewer were willing to guide them correctly.

The azure dragon mask returned to Shen Guyan's hand. Nalali retreated half a step in shock, looking at him uneasily and asking, "You, what did you just do to me?"

"It's simple, I looked at your memories." Shen Guyan shook the azure dragon mask in his hand. "By the way, I left a contact method for you."

"Contact method..." Just as Nalali was bewildered, Shen Guyan's voice rang out in her mind: "Like this, I can communicate with you at any time."

Hearing this, Nalali's expression changed drastically. This mask could actually communicate unilaterally with the other party without either side using a soul tool communicator!

If it was just communication, it would be fine, but this guy actually looked at her memories... then the secrets of the Holy Cult... At this thought, Nalali couldn't help but shudder.

"What, you don't want my contact method?" Shen Guyan naturally wouldn't reveal all the abilities of the azure dragon mask. After all, Leng Yaozhu was still nearby. If she knew he could monitor these branded items at any time... Although Nalali's memory volume was enormous, Shen Guyan's Mental Energy and Soul were powerful enough to digest most of the memories in the shortest time.

Moreover, there were several crucial pieces of information, namely the specific location of the Holy Spirit Cult, their so-called One Emperor, Two Sovereigns, and the four heavenly kings, as well as Qiangu Dongfeng's secret cooperation with them.

Things seemed to be getting interesting... "How do you plan to deal with her?" After resolving the knot in her sister Leng Yulai's heart, Leng Yaozhu immediately came to Shen Guyan's side, shielding Shen Guyan with half her body to prevent a sudden attack from Nalali.

Even if Nalali's Soul Power was restricted, her Physical Body strength was still at the Super Douluo level; she could not be underestimated in the slightest.

"Is the misunderstanding resolved?" Shen Guyan glanced at her and asked calmly.

"Mhm..." Leng Yaozhu's eyes reddened slightly. At the thought of Leng Yulai misunderstanding her because of that scene and joining the Holy Spirit Cult for so many years, her heart felt a pang of bitterness.

That was an Evil Soul Master organization. Heaven knows how her sister usually Cultivated? How much blood of living beings was on her hands?

"Watch her. I need to obtain secrets about the Holy Spirit Cult from your sister," Shen Guyan instructed indifferently.

"You..." Leng Yaozhu quickly guessed Shen Guyan's thoughts and subconsciously reached out to grab his arm. "Are you going to..."

"Yes, put the mask on your sister too. You wouldn't want to remain completely ignorant of information regarding the Holy Spirit Cult, would you?" Shen Guyan said without evasion.

"But that's my sister!" How could Leng Yaozhu tolerate an outsider meddling with her sister's memories? She gripped Shen Guyan's arm tightly. "I'll ask about the Holy Spirit Cult's matters myself; there's no need to..."

"You ask, and then what?" Shen Guyan's eyes were calm. "Take her back to atone for her sins? Have your Family imprison her? Or hand her over to the Federation? How many people has she killed over the years? How many evil deeds has she committed? Don't you know..."

Slap!

Leng Yaozhu suddenly slapped Shen Guyan's face, her breathing becoming rapid.

"My sister will be protected by me!"

Shen Guyan turned his head, maintaining the posture of having been slapped by Leng Yaozhu, and continued expressionlessly, "Sin cannot be washed away. Don't you know her personality yourself? Even if she feels guilty toward you today, what about in a few days? How long can you restrict her? Do you think you can protect her while constantly restricting her movements?"

"You!" Leng Yaozhu's chest heaved with anger. "Then tell me, what should I do? What can I do? She is my biological sister!"

"Sister..." Hearing Leng Yaozhu's words, Leng Yulai's beautiful eyes dimmed slightly. She naturally knew the crimes she had committed over the years, and her Spirit had long been baptized by the Holy Spirit Cult, becoming filthy. She couldn't guarantee whether she would do something harmful to her sister again in the future.

The atmosphere suddenly became thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Leng Yaozhu didn't care about Nalali at all, but she couldn't ignore Leng Yulai.

"It's simple. She will continue to be an Evil Soul Master, and I will supervise her."

Shen Guyan straightened his body and spoke words that shocked everyone.

"What did you say?" These words were almost squeezed out from between Leng Yaozhu's teeth. Her sister had finally broken away from the Holy Spirit Cult and returned to her side, and now Shen Guyan wanted to send her back?

"Leng Yaozhu, calm down." Shen Guyan knew this was too cruel for the Leng sisters, but he actually had his own plans.

"Shen Guyan, don't even think about it!" Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, not backing down in the slightest.

"Fine," Shen Guyan responded as if compromising, then slowly put on the azure dragon mask.

For some reason, the moment Shen Guyan put on the mask, Nalali and Leng Yaozhu, who had both been branded, felt a tremor in their hearts—

In the next moment, Shen Guyan's third spirit ring lit up, and he quickly switched to the Torch Dragon form, the mask turning completely crimson.

Leng Yaozhu wanted to do something, but she found that she couldn't move at all.

"How... could this be?"

"Leng Yaozhu, just stand there peacefully." Shen Guyan walked past her calmly. This was the first time he had used this ability; it was a stiffening ability similar to petrification, born from the influence of the god of sin Medusa's petrification ability on the Azure Dragon, and it required the Torch Dragon state to take effect.

As long as someone had worn the azure dragon mask, the brand within them would activate instantly, paralyzing the Spirit Master's Spirit and consciousness entirely.

Not just Leng Yaozhu, even Nalali was frozen in place.

"You, what did you do to my sister?" Leng Yulai's face was full of horror, but her cultivation was one level lower than Nalali's, and the Azure Dragon Phoenix's spirit power restriction technique had an even greater effect on her.

Shen Guyan didn't answer her but walked toward her step by step.

"Shen Guyan, stop it!" Something seemed to break in Leng Yaozhu's heart as she forcibly broke through part of the consciousness paralysis and shouted.

"Everything I do, you will understand one day." Shen Guyan arrived in front of Leng Yulai and slowly leaned down.

"Shen Guyan... don't make me hate you!"

Leng Yaozhu's heart-wrenching voice couldn't stop Shen Guyan's actions. The azure dragon mask was pressed onto Leng Yulai's face like a flash of lightning—
