"What opportunity are we waiting for?"

As he observed the ongoing battle, Lin Ye was convinced that the Spirit Hall held an overwhelming advantage. Capturing these evil soul masters should be straightforward, so he couldn't help but ask, perplexed.

"Of course, we're waiting for the right moment to capture them alive. Do you really think these evil soul masters will let us apprehend them so easily?"

Hearing Lin Ye's question, a playful glint flashed across Hu Liena's charming face. Her enchanting eyes locked onto Lin Ye as she replied.

"They'll fight to the death?" Lin Ye's heart stirred slightly.

"Absolutely. Evil soul masters cultivate through killing—often their own kind. Their minds are usually twisted and extreme," Hu Liena explained.

"If we confront them with deadly force, they'll undoubtedly resist fiercely. Suicide or taking us down with them is entirely within their nature. That's why I've been stalling, lulling them into a false sense of security—especially the Blood Bat."

"He's currently preoccupied fighting Wild Mountain and Black Eagle, completely unable to focus on anything else. Once the life force he's absorbed with his martial soul runs out and he's on the verge of collapse, I'll step forward and offer terms for surrender."

"Of course, my offer is just a diversion. While I hold his attention, Elder Wind Sword will strike from the shadows to knock him unconscious."

"Once subdued, we'll use special medicine to keep him in a deep sleep. His fangs will be removed, and his limbs bound with the sturdiest iron chains. As long as we strip him of the ability to take his own life, we can bring him back to Spirit Hall alive for interrogation!"

Hu Liena spoke with excitement, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.

"What do you think, Lin Ye? Not bad, right? This plan was inspired by your advice—when dealing with evil soul masters, caution is key. We need to lull them into complacency. The Blood Bat will never suspect I've sent two Soul Sages to fight him while hiding a Contra in the shadows!"

After finishing her explanation, Hu Liena glanced at Lin Ye with a triumphant smile.

"Not bad at all. I look forward to it," Lin Ye replied with a faint nod after hearing her plan.

Elsewhere, in the clearing where the battle raged.

Faced with the combined assault of the Wild Mountain Soul Sage and the Black Eagle Soul Sage, the Blood Bat had reached his limit. He had already used his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul Avatar, as a last resort.

But in response, both Wild Mountain and Black Eagle activated their own Martial Soul Avatars.

If it were only Wild Mountain, the Blood Bat might still stand a chance. But with Black Eagle also in the fray—one attacking from the ground and the other dominating the skies—there was no escape.

Whether in the air or on land, the Blood Bat found himself relentlessly beaten.

As the life force stored within his martial soul gradually depleted, the wounds inflicted by his opponents became harder to heal.

By now, the Blood Bat's entire body was covered in injuries.

In his Martial Soul Avatar form, his humanoid bat-like body was marred with crisscrossing scars, most of them inflicted by the Black Eagle Soul Sage. The crimson fur covering his body was matted with dried blood, making him look both grotesque and pitiable.

"Blood Bat, stop struggling. Surrender and return with us to Spirit Hall. You might still have a chance at survival. Otherwise, this will be your end," Wild Mountain growled, glaring at the battered Blood Bat.

"Heh, you're just an ordinary Soul Sage from Spirit Hall. Do you really think I'll believe anything you say?"

The Blood Bat struggled to his feet, letting out a sinister laugh as he spoke.

"Fine. If you don't believe me, then die now!"

Wild Mountain's expression darkened. Seeing that the Blood Bat was near his breaking point, he decided to end it. His towering figure surged with violent energy as he swung a massive fist at the Blood Bat, aiming to finish him off.

"Wait!"

A crisp voice rang out from the distance just as Wild Mountain's fist was about to connect.

"Your Excellency!"

Hearing the voice and recognizing Hu Liena's arrival, Wild Mountain withdrew his attack and respectfully saluted her.

"Heh, so this little girl is the envoy Spirit Hall sent to deal with us? If they're sending someone like you, it looks like Spirit Hall is in decline," the Blood Bat sneered, his voice laced with mockery.

"Silence!"

Hu Liena raised her delicate hand, signaling Wild Mountain not to retaliate.

For years, Spirit Hall had hunted these evil soul masters like rats in a gutter. Letting them vent a little with petty insults was beneath her concern.

"You're the Blood Bat, correct? I am Hu Liena, the envoy of Spirit Hall. I also hold another title—the current Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall and its future Supreme Pontiff."

"You said you didn't believe Wild Mountain's words. Allow me to make you a promise. If you surrender and provide us with information about the Blood Infant, we will spare your life and send you to the Slaughter City."

"While the Slaughter City may not grant you freedom, it's better than dying here and now, isn't it? Besides, how is the life of an evil soul master on the Douluo Continent any different from life in the Slaughter City?"

Her tone was calm but firm, her eyes unwavering as she tried to persuade the Blood Bat to surrender.

Meanwhile, Elder Wind Sword was stealthily circling behind the Blood Bat, searching for the perfect angle to strike and knock him out.

"You're the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall?"

The Blood Bat's eyes flickered with surprise at her declaration.

"Indeed. As Spirit Hall's hierarchy is rigid, no one would dare lie about such a title. So, what will it be? Will you surrender? If you cooperate, your life will be spared. If not, though it would be a shame, you're not the only evil soul master in this world…"

Hu Liena's words, delivered with a faint smile, applied subtle pressure.

"I… I need to think about it…"

The Blood Bat lowered his head slightly, muttering under his breath as if weighing his options.

"Well? Have you made up your mind?"

Hu Liena's expression remained composed, but her gaze briefly flickered to Elder Wind Sword, who was now in position behind the Blood Bat.

"I've made my decision…"

Suddenly, the Blood Bat raised his head, a sinister smile curling his lips.

Seeing his peculiar expression, Hu Liena's heart sank with a sudden sense of foreboding.

"Holy Maiden, beware! There's another Soul Sage!"

A warning cry pierced the air from a distant figure.
