Chapter 311 Replacement

Chapter 311 – Replacing
After returning to the inn, Xu Chuniang greeted a few people and returned to her room.

Entering the room, after confirming that the formations were all in their normal state, she then sank down to ask the black mist.

“What kind of thing are you?”

The demonic spirit’s mind spun, its tone sincere.

“I am nothing, and I mean you no harm, this is all an intention ……”

Before it could finish its sentence, it saw the flames in front of it surge several inches higher, almost reaching its body.

At the same time, a cold voice with killing intent sounded in its mind.

“You want to say that this is all just an accident? Then fine, in that case, there is no need for you to exist.”

“Ah ah ah …… not an accident!”

The Demon Soul hastily changed its words, however, it was still too late, and its body, which had originally shrunk by a large margin, once again shrank by half.

Fortunately, it finally opened its mouth in time, saving the other half of its body.

After regaining a life, the demon soul had a palpitation in its heart, and at the same time, it also realized its own situation, life and death was only at the whim of others.

“Since it wasn’t an accident, then tell us clearly, what kind of thing you really are, and who got you here.”

The voice in its mind seemed to have sensed its fear and eased its killing intent a little.

The demonic soul didn’t dare to speak any more nonsense, so it had to tell where it came from.

“I am the Demon Soul, the master sent me.”

Devil soul?

Xu Chuniang frowned, vaguely realizing that she seemed to be involved in some kind of hidden matter.

“What is a devil soul? And who is your master?”

“The Demon Soul is me ah, my family’s master is the one who created me out, he is the most powerful person in this world, the master is omnipotent.”

Xu Chuniang automatically ignored the devil soul’s praise of its so-called master, “Then what did he send you here for?”

The Demon Soul fell silent, and only when the flames around it were only inches away and it felt the threat of death did it speak in panic.

“As a devil soul, naturally, it is to, to erode and devour your Yuan Shen ……”

It originally thought that the owner of this body would burst into a rage after learning the truth, setting off a sea of fire to devour it.

But after waiting for a long time, the flames around it instead receded a bit.

It blinked its eyes in some confusion, and a new voice resounded in its mind.

“Devouring the Yuan Shen, what comes after that?”

“Naturally, it takes its place.”

Taking the place of …… really is like that.

Coldness flared under Xu Chuniang’s eyes, and she had vaguely had such a guess the moment she noticed this demonic soul entering her body and attempting to devour her Yuan Shen.

But did not expect, really called her to expect.

She closed her eyes and carefully recalled what happened today.

From the City Lord’s Mansion releasing the words, to her and Huo Chunyan going to the City Lord’s Mansion to witness Zhuge Yun and Xie Changyuan’s duel.

Then to Zhuge Yun’s disastrous defeat, and finally her sneak attack as she was leaving.

All of this seems to be unrelated, but in the dark, it seems like there is a big net, spreading slowly, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and opened her eyes, today’s matter, on the surface, Zhuge Yun’s moral heart was damaged and suffered a blow.

But in fact, everything that Zhuge Yun suffered was on the surface.

The crisis she encountered, on the other hand, was hidden in the shadows and was even more dangerous.

If she didn’t have the Heavenly Flame, she would have been eroded by that demonic spirit right now. Xu Chuniang’s face flashed with gravity, if the demonic soul could really take its place, unless it could reveal itself, it would be impossible to detect it.

An unpleasant thought rose in her heart, during this period of time, Shangguan Xue had been living in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Is …… Shangguan Xue still the original her in her body?

Thinking of this, Xu Chuniang’s face changed color.

In these few years, the sect had vigorously purged, very much identifying some of the spies that had ambled through the sect.

And although the evil cultivators hadn’t been too peaceful in the past two years, they hadn’t caused any major incidents on the whole.

I didn’t realize that they had privately refined “demon souls” and other damaging things.

Not only can they kill people invisibly, but they can also let the devil soul take the identity of the original disciple and mix in the sect.

I just don’t know how many such demon souls there are.

Xu Chuniang’s heart rose with a chill, this matter, must report to the sect as soon as possible!
Just as she got up and took two steps out, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

In the eyes of the City Lord’s Mansion, she was already a person possessed by a demonic soul, and as long as she showed the slightest movement at this time, she would certainly not be able to escape the eyes of those people.

If you let those people who start to know, not only is she not possessed by a demonic soul, but instead suspected the City Lord’s Mansion ……

I’m afraid that before she could walk out of the Mixed Yuan City, she would have to give up her life here.

Xu Chuniang finally lowered her eyelids and sat back down, continuing to torture that demonic soul in her Yuan Shen.

“What will you do after you devour my Yuan Shen?”

The demonic soul froze for a moment, “This …… I don t know.”

Before it could even begin, it was discovered and subsequently circled in the fire and grilled.

Seemingly sensing that the owner of this body, was not satisfied with its answer, it hurriedly added a few sentences.

“But the master’s order is to act according to your character first after replacing you. And eroding the Yuan Shen is a slow process that will take a long time.”

“Takes a long time? Aren’t you a demonic soul, you sound quite powerful. My divine sense that strong didn’t even manage to block you.”

The Devil Soul was pleased in his heart when he heard the compliment.

“Wanting to devour the Yuan Shen is naturally very simple, but in order to retain and merge all the memories in the Yuan Shen, you can only slowly erode it little by little, and it will take a few months, or even a few years.”

Xu Chuniang pondered, it seemed that in the short term, she didn’t have to worry about the person from the City Lord’s Mansion who had set out to do it for the time being, and found out that she had eluded the Demon Soul.

“Then you and that master of yours, can you have a method of communication?”

“Within a certain range, the master and I are able to sense each other’s presence and communicate in a unique way. But this place is too far from my master for me to sense it.”

Xu Chuniang asked some more questions, and in order to avoid this demonic soul fooling her with false information, she purposely asked certain questions three or four times in different ways.

However, although this demonic soul had a few smarts, but in the end the time it was born was not long, and under the threat of death, what it said was all true.

Until she couldn’t ask for more information, she stopped pressing.

And the demonic soul felt the slightly reduced heat around it, also finally sighed in relief, very satisfied with the ending that he was able to escape with his life.

Xu Chuniang stayed in her room for a long time until it grew dark before she pushed the door open and walked to Zhuge Yun’s room door from memory, her fingers rhythmically tapping on the door.

The one who opened the door was Zhao Xing San, and when he saw Xu Chuniang, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

When she came back just now, her attitude towards Zhuge Yun could be described as indifferent.

For the entire afternoon, she hadn’t asked for a single word.

He had thought that he wouldn’t see Senior Sister Xu here.

After all, he had vaguely heard someone mention Senior Sister Xu’s discord with Senior Brother Zhuge.
