Chapter 334 – Demon Soul Reappears
Chapter 334 – The Demon Soul
The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold because of Xu Chuniang’s questioning.
Zhuge Yun frowned, and his gaze gave her a hidden warning look.
“Senior Sister Xu, you must not be rude. This is not an outcome that Senior Sister Shangguan would like to see.”
“Senior Brother Zhuge doesn’t have to excuse me, it’s my fault.”
This person, Shangguan Xue, was as cold as her name and the technique she had learned.
The annoyance of being confronted by Xu Chuniang was not visible on her face, nor was she moved by Zhuge Yun’s defense.
Even her voice was characterized by a light and airy aura.
“After returning to the sect, I will report everything truthfully and ask for punishment.”
Xu Chuniang nodded and didn’t say anything more.
“Speaking of which, Senior Sister Shangguan was living well in the City Lord’s Mansion, and why did she suddenly come here?”
Zhang Yu was a bit puzzled, then suddenly realized, “Could it be due to the disappearance of Third Duke Xie ……”
Xie Changyuan’s high-profile pursuit of Shangguan Xue was no secret, the two entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm at the same time, but when they came out, only Shangguan Xue was left alone.
Shangguan Xue shook her head, “The City Lord’s Office believes that this matter has nothing to do with me, it’s just that there’s a disconnect in the end.”
A few people instantly realized that Shangguan Xue was in someone else’s way.
The YuanYing real person and clan behind her were in the way, and they couldn’t kill her, so they kicked her out.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you guys should go back first, Senior Sister Xu stays.”
Only two people remained in the room.
Xu Chuniang pondered in her heart, the reason Zhuge Yun told her to stay, it couldn’t be because of Fang’s bad attitude towards Shangguan Xue.
She had a subtle look in her eyes, it shouldn’t be possible, after all, since he was thinking of repairing his dao heart, he should have already broken his mind towards Shangguan Xue.
Zhuge Yun was unaware of what Xu Chuniang was thinking, his eyes fell on her body, a few thoughts rising in his heart.
Yesterday, he had suspected that Senior Sister Xu had secretly gone to the secret realm. But the demonic beast she brought back was the real deal.
It was just this matter that was a bit too coincidental.
He had left her alone because he wanted to test it out.
Before he could think of a way to speak, he heard a question, “Senior brother left me behind but do you have something to say?”
Zhuge Yun lowered his eyes since, handing over a storage pouch, “This is the spirit stones exchanged for those ferocious beasts that senior sister hunted.”
Xu Chuniang took the storage bag, and with a sweep of her divine sense, she saw 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones lying inside, and felt satisfied.
The feeling of having someone to do things for her was quite good, Zhuge Yun’s senior brother wasn’t considered useless.
“Thank you senior brother.”
After she thanked him, she took out five thousand spirit stones from her storage bag.
A few days ago Zhuge Yun had generously taken 20,000 spirit stones for the four of them to split, and she had gotten 5,000 as well, right now it was just time to pay back that amount of money.
Zhuge Yun waved his hand, “This point of spirit stones do not need to pay back, this is due to my affairs delayed for a long time.”
Seeing that he didn’t want it, Xu Chuniang didn’t insist on giving it, and put the spirit stone away just as she was about to get up to say goodbye, but then she heard the person on the other side of the room suddenly open his mouth.
“Senior Sister Xu, were you really at Wind Weeping Mountain this month?”
She raised her head to reveal a hint of a smile, “Or else, could it be that these demonic beasts didn’t appear out of thin air?”
Zhuge Yun frowned, he had examined all these demonic beasts, most of their bodies were covered in sword wounds and gunshot wounds, it should be true that this Senior Sister Xu had killed them with her own hands.
But he always felt that this matter was not so simple.
If Xu Chuniang’s strength was not as unusual as she showed, she could have left the secret realm a few days earlier and hunted demonic beasts in Wind Weeping Mountain ……
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yun’s heart stirred, like there was something he had overlooked that had finally surfaced.
The ranking on the Qing Yun Ranking!
Xu Chuniang’s ranking had always been very high, almost one of the highest of those with the same cultivation, with such a high ranking, her strength was definitely not weak. Then the previous two trips to Wind Weeping Mountain, she hadn’t acted much differently from the others, it should have been that she hadn’t exerted her full strength.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yun was more and more sure of the conjecture in his heart that Senior Sister Xu had definitely gone to the secret realm as well.
Since she was able to retreat in one piece, it was very likely that she had also entered the Heavenly Dao Palace.
The fourth level of Foundation Establishment cultivation, and entered the Heavenly Dao Palace of people …….
It was only that mysterious female cultivator who had been left alone by the Dao Protector and finally activated the teleportation talisman to leave!
Zhuge Yun’s eyes couldn’t help but widen a few points as this unthinkable conjecture flashed through his mind.
If Xu Sister, really is the mysterious female cultivator, then she in the hands of the protector of the things ……
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yun even breathed two points heavier.
This time, the Heavenly Dao Palace trial had somehow gone awry, disrupting his plans.
As a result, he didn’t get any good things at all, let alone something as precious as the Realm Breaking Talisman.
It was just that the Dao Protector had quite a few good things in his hands, and the contribution value needed to exchange for the Realm Breaking Talisman was extremely high.
If Senior Sister Xu was really that mysterious female cultivator, she might not be able to get this item either.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yun felt chagrined, had he known this, before entering the secret realm, he should have discussed it with Senior Sister Xu.
“Senior brother? Senior brother Zhuge?”
Two calls fell into his ears, Zhuge Yun gradually came back to his senses and looked at Xu Chuniang with an unprecedentedly serious expression.
“Senior Sister Xu, I have something to ask you, it’s about the safety of the sect, so please you must tell me the truth.”
However, without waiting for him to ask, a knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.
“Senior Brother Zhuge, I have something urgent to tell you.”
It was Shangguan Xue.
Zhuge Yun closed his eyes, he wanted to pursue Xu Chuniang now to verify what was in his heart.
But he knew Shangguan Xue’s nature, not a very important matter, she would not come so directly to find, or when he was deliberating with other people.
He held back the doubt in his heart, sent Xu Chuniang away, and invited Shangguan Xue in.
As soon as he closed the door, the smile on his face faded, his eyes fell on Shangguan Xue like cold stars, in the end, he held back his heart.
Only in words, exudes a faint cold sharpness.
“What happened, so that you are in such a hurry?”
Shangguan Xue turned a blind eye to Zhuge Yun’s cold demeanor, and single-handedly said, “Xu Chuniang has a problem.”
Zhuge Yun was startled and quickly calmed down, “Specific.”
“When she came in just now, that thing had a strange movement.”
Shangguan Xue did not specify what “that thing” was, but Zhuge Yun instantly understood.
He thought of many things at once, and his face did not look too good.
After being possessed by a demonic spirit, the demonic spirit would gradually eat away at the possessed person’s Yuan Shen, and in the end, it could even completely replace the possessed person.
This process could be as short as a few months or as long as a few years, and was related to the willpower of the possessed person.
Willpower is strong, the resistance is strong, the process of being eaten and eroded is relatively long.
On the contrary, if the willpower is weak, then in just three or four months, it will be completely eroded by the demonic soul and become another person.
This method of directly encroaching on the Yuan Shen could even conceal it from the Soul Lantern.
Realizing the gravity of the matter, Zhuge Yun’s brows furrowed.
“Are you sure it’s that thing?”
