Chapter 310 – Demon Soul
Chapter 310 – Demon Soul
“With Senior Brother Zhuge’s deep love for Senior Sister Shangguan. Once he makes this oath, I’m afraid it will be difficult for his cultivation to progress any further, it’s a pity.”
Huo Chunyan sighed and finally parted her gaze in an intolerant manner.
Above the ring, Zhuge Yun closed his eyes, “I, Zhuge Yun, swear by my dao heart to give up …… Shangguan Xue from today.”
As soon as the words fell, he sprayed out large mouthfuls of blood, his complexion gray and shriveled, only holding on to his breath and not fainting.
“Hehe, it should have been done long ago.”
Zhuge Yun’s miserable state in turn pleased Xie Changyuan, who glanced towards Xu Chunniang’s four people in a rather good mood, “Take the people away, don’t dirty my City Lord’s Mansion.”
The four were forced to come to this City Lord’s Mansion, and were forced to spectate Zhuge Yun being brutally beaten, so naturally their mood could not be any better.
However, Zhuge Yun had voluntarily agreed to this duel, and now that they had ended up in this situation, they had nothing to say.
Zhang Yu and Zhao Xing San got into the ring, and after helping Zhuge Yun up carefully, the group walked towards the outside of the City Lord’s Mansion in silence.
Shangguan Xue had just taken two steps after them when a lazy voice sounded behind them.
“Sister Xue’er mustn’t forget that your senior brother has just sworn an oath of dao heart, are you following up now, do you think his life is too long?”
Shangguan Xue’s face changed several times, and finally stopped.
Seeing that she was about to step out of the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, Xu Chuniang suddenly had her hair stand on end, sensing a strong sense of crisis.
She did not show it on her face, but her heart was ringing with alarm bells.
Divine sense quietly and silently, spread out from three layers around her body, entering a state of high alert.
Right at this moment, she felt a cold wind wrapped in black mist, flying at an extremely fast speed.
It was slightly blocked as it approached her, and then entered the Yuan Shen without any lag.
Xu Chuniang’s figure paused slightly, a hint of black mist flashing through her eyes, before she walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion with a normal demeanor.
At the very moment she walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion, a Jindan cultivator, whose entire body was shrouded in black robes, opened his eyes in a secret room somewhere underneath the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Well? Did it work?”
Another person waiting beside him sensed the movement and hurriedly inquired.
The black-robed cultivator nodded lightly, then shook his head again.
“The Demonic Soul has been successfully planted, but it’s not that quick to take effect. Although it was only vaguely perceived for a moment, that female cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, her Yuan Shen doesn’t seem to be weak.”
“Since the demonic soul has been planted, it’s only a matter of time before it takes effect. Even late Foundation Establishment cultivators can’t escape the erosion of the demonic soul, how long can a mere mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator resist?”
Hearing that the operation went well, the person next to him had a smug look on his face, and then lamented, “It’s a pity that the conditions for this Demon Soul’s catalyzing are too harsh, or else if we catalyze a few more, we’ll have more certainty.”
The black-robed cultivator, however, did not say anything more, and only glanced indifferently at the person next to him, the meaning of sending off was very obvious.
Noticing the black robe’s meaning, that person was also sensible, his figure withdrew silently, and soon disappeared in the stone room.
Everything that happened in the underground chamber of the City Lord’s Mansion was hidden along with the tight closure of the stone door.
And certain things, however, were quietly changing.
Xu Chuniang’s group of four people stepped out of the City Lord’s Mansion with Zhuge Yun, and the breath that Zhuge Yun was holding on to loosened up, and he directly fainted.
“What should we do, Senior Brother Zhuge has fainted again, his injuries seem to have worsened.”
A trace of anxiety flashes across Huo Chunyan’s face, although Zhuge Yun brought this injury upon himself, in all fairness, he has barely fulfilled his responsibility as a senior brother.
To watch his injuries deteriorate, she naturally cannot do so.
Zhang Yu suggested, “Why don’t we go to the medical center first, we have to think of a way to stop senior brother’s injuries.” Zhao Xing San’s face was equally grave, as a Dan cultivator, he had already made a move to check Zhuge Yun’s injuries the whole way he was holding him up.
It was just that he was unconscious because his injuries were too severe, coupled with a damaged dao heart.
Although Senior Brother Zhuge’s injuries were heavy, there was no danger to his life.
Compared to what his body and Yuan Shen had suffered, the damage to his dao heart was the most serious.
Zhao Xing San spoke after weighing the situation, “It’s better to return to Xiang Yun Inn, the medical center is cluttered, rather than as clean as the inn. With me looking after it, nothing can go wrong.”
The three of them discussed and decided to first bring Zhuge Yun back to the inn to recuperate.
Huo Chunyan raises her leg to leave, but suddenly looks towards Xu Chuniang, who is following behind a few people, never saying a word, and a strange feeling flashes through her heart.
Just now, when the three of them were discussing, she did not say a word, and seemed indifferent to Zhuge’s injuries.
Could it be that Chuniang still holds a grudge that Zhuge Senior Brother had once found her troublesome, and that’s why she’s unwilling to take care of him?
But after many years of acquaintance, Huo Chunyan knows that Xu Chuniang is not the type to gloat.
After thinking for a while, she simply doesn’t want to understand.
Anyway, Elder Brother Zhuge has Zhao Xing San to take care of him, so he only needs to rest for a while and properly recuperate from his injuries.
It’s just that the originally scheduled time to enter Wind Weeping Mountain, I’m afraid it will be postponed again.
Xu Chuniang has been following behind a few people, seemingly very normal, in fact, her body has long been transformed into a battlefield.
As early as when she was about to leave the City Lord’s Mansion, she had the intuition that she seemed to be targeted by something.
And what happened next verified her suspicions.
After that strange wind blew through her body, there was inexplicably an additional cloud of black mist.
This black mist entered her body and nonchalantly swept through her Yuan Shen, attempting to devour it.
However, Xu Chuniang’s reaction was equally quick, and after noticing that something was wrong, she communicated with Little Walnut at the first opportunity, casting a large amount of Heavenly Flame.
As soon as the black mist was set ablaze by the Heavenly Flame, it was as if it had encountered its natural nemesis, and the places that were set ablaze by the Heavenly Flame emitted a soundless collapse.
It steeply shrunk into a tiny ball, exuding a strong sense of fear, as if it wanted to escape.
But the surroundings were full of heavenly fire, it could not escape anywhere.
Feeling the body that had shrunk by most of its size, the demonic soul trembled violently and despaired.
“Help, help ……”
It originally didn’t hold any hope, thinking that it couldn’t escape to its death.
However, it didn’t expect that the sizzling flames around it really stopped after its words fell.
The demonic soul was a bit bewildered, blinking its eyes in disbelief for a long time before accepting this fact.
Although it didn’t know why it had picked up a life, as long as there was a glimmer of life, it would endeavor to live!
As a matter of fact, Xu Chuniang’s sudden stoppage was not only because of the black mist’s plea for help, but mainly because she suddenly thought of something.
According to reason, she had no grudges with the City Lord’s Mansion in the recent past, so no one should be able to lay hands on her, using such underhanded tactics.
But things that shouldn’t happen, but happened, there must be a reason for its existence.
Xu Chuniang’s mind thought rapidly, but her face did not have any change, performance as usual, followed behind Huo Chunyan and others, back to the Xiang Yun Inn.
