NFBE Chapter 385 The Vanished Demon Soul
Chapter 385 The Vanished Demon Soul
News travels fast in the cultivation world. On the fourth day at Chonggu Village, Xue Lan received a battle report from Ling Shisan.
A small, plump white bird stood on Xue Lan's windowsill, with a brocade pouch hanging around its neck.
Xue Tong was the first to spot Ling Shisan. The girl took a small piece of peach shortbread from her storage bag and approached the snow-white chubby bird with a smile on her face.
Unfortunately, Ling Shisan didn't lose his head when he saw the bribe in her hand, and diligently completed his task.
It wasn't until the pale blue brocade pouch was handed to Xue Lan that it flew to Xue Tong and pecked at the peach shortbread that the girl had broken into pieces and placed on the table.
Xue Tong stroked the fur on Ling Shisan's head all the way to the tip of his tail, repeating this dozens of times, until the person looking at the talisman in the bag finally raised his head.
Xue Tong then asked:
"What did Yan Chengxue say?"
Xue Lan folded the yellow talisman in her hand into a small triangle and held it between her fingertips. Her gray eyes remained unchanged, but her tone carried an unusual solemnity:
"We already know about Jinjin's breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul stage and the changes in the Peacock Clan. But there's something that really bothers me."
"what's up?"
Xue Lan twirled the yellow talisman between his fingers, his voice low and deep:
"Yan Chengxue said above that since the start of this demon counterattack, all the demon souls of high-level demons have been taken away and are not connected to the Yuanming Realm's ley lines. They have entered the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm and cannot be annihilated."
"Little Soul".
"Your Majesty!" The Soul-Guarding One appeared in mid-air, its warm yellow skirt swaying slightly.
Xue Lan handed the folded talisman to Yin Hun: "Go and show this to Shi Shi."
The spirit guide nodded obediently and took the yellow talisman to the depths of the village to find Yin Shishi.
After the little sword spirit left, Xue Lan let out a long sigh.
"If it's not someone from the Demon Clan causing trouble, then something must be wrong in the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm."
"The Thousand Realms of Ghosts?" Xue Tong took a step forward while holding Ling Shisan.
"That's right, the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm was a shackle built by the Asura clan in conjunction with the Heavenly Dao of the Yuanming Realm for the Demon Race ten thousand years ago."
Xue Lan's voice was calm and clear: "The passage between the Nine Heavens Demon Realm and the Yuanming Realm was previously damaged."
"But now some demonic souls have disappeared, and they did not travel to the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm through the ley lines."
After listening to Xue Lan's words, Xue Tong gradually realized the seriousness of the matter, and her tone became urgent.
"What if something happens to your friend, the lord of the ghost realm?"
Xue Lan chuckled softly: "There's no need to worry about that. He Zhui isn't that weak."
"Instead of the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm having problems, I'm more inclined to believe that someone from the Demon Race is up to something, trying to do something through these demon souls."
Xue Tong kept searching through his database: "What am I doing? Refining pills to improve my cultivation..."
"Sacrifice!"
Xue Lan clapped her hands: "That's right, it's a sacrificial ceremony."
"There is also a Heavenly Revelation Pillar in the desolate region." Xue Lan rubbed her temples, looking quite troubled.
Upon hearing this, Xue Tong flicked her sleeve and closed the door, her eyes sparkling.
Are you a little worried?
"Then let's sneak into the wasteland and take it down!"
Xue Tong's voice was so excited that Xue Lan was stunned.
The woman remained silent for a while, then met Xue Tong's expectant gaze and spoke:
"Aren't you being a little too confident in me?"
Xue Tong shook her head: "Is that confidence?"
"Lord Wolf Lord..."
Xue Tong said, slowly and deliberately, "You're the one who said you'd always believe in me."
Xue Lan covered her face, wanting to turn herself into a small snake and burrow into the ground.
This blind, pure trust!
"Don't even think about it!"
Xue Lan leaned forward slightly, her tone extremely serious:
"Let me tell you, sneaking out once or twice is just youthful recklessness. But if it happens a third or fourth time, it's understandable."
Xue Tong sneered: "What about five or six more times?"
"It's the headmaster who thinks you deserve to die!"
Xue Lan lay on the chair.
"I will not interfere with the matter of the demon soul. If He Zhui has not been killed by the demon god, he should deal with it himself."
The world of thousands of ghosts.
The sky above Wanyu County was still filled with countless wandering souls. In the city lord's mansion in the city center, a young man in light blue clothes threw the compendium in his hand into the hands of the trembling people below:
"It's been a month, and you're only now realizing that one of your souls is missing?"
He Zhui's voice carried an unparalleled chill, filling the kneeling man below with immense fear.
Even though his heart was pounding with fear, he still spoke tremblingly.
There's a pact in the Thousand Realms of Ghosts: one must defend oneself before the lord; otherwise, death is certain, and one cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"My lord, the human race has been fighting fiercely with the demon race recently. When they capture high-level demons, they usually annihilate their demon souls directly. I am simply not up to the task."
He Zhui lazily raised his eyelids, his voice nonchalant:
"So, it's true that our human race's great victory has given you a lot of trouble?"
This seemingly casual remark crushed the man, rendering him speechless and leaving him only able to kowtow repeatedly on the ground.
"My lord, I was wrong, my lord!"
He Zhui was a little annoyed by his calling, and the young man spoke softly:
"Somebody come!"
Two ghost messengers entered and took the person who kept begging for mercy away.
For a moment, the young man was the only one left in the main hall where he could see the sky outside.
He Zhui picked up the final volume he had thrown on the ground again and tore out all the pages with errors.
The young man's voice carried a hint of teasing:
"I almost hope that Lord Wolf King ate these things."
"But there are just too many of them."
On just a few pages, it was revealed that there were over a thousand demon souls who had mysteriously disappeared before arriving at the Thousand Realms of Ghosts.
Even a glutton like Taotie wouldn't eat like that!
After venting his frustrations, the young man's smile faded.
Just as Jin Guang was preparing to use the last batch of Pure Ice Lotuses left by Xue Lan for his scheme, something unexpected happened in the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm.
The young man sighed, his gaze sharp as he looked at the wandering spirits outside the city.
The lord picked up his brush and began to write on the rice paper...
It snowed again last night at Binghua Pond. When Lian Chuan arrived at the small island in the middle of the lake with his sword, Jin Guang was reading a letter.
The woman, dressed in exquisite and gorgeous clothes, leaned against the table, her white skirt hem blending seamlessly with the snowflakes falling on the island.
As Lian Chuan approached, Jin Guang slowly gathered up He Zhui's letters, his voice calm:
"How are the younger generation who are supposed to participate in the ceremony?"
Lian Chuan clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Reporting to Grandmaster, everything is ready."
Jin Guang lowered his eyes and brows:
"That's good!"
"Let's begin the ceremony after the last three heavy snowfalls."
Then we'll show her who's still hung up on Xue Lan's Pure Ice Lotus.
