Window Paper was the most feared thing to break through; once it was completely shattered, the atmosphere would become awkward.
The mood in the basement suddenly turned delicate—an unspoken tension arose.
There was no turning back when Ghost Granny spoke up; the opportunity for easing the situation had already vanished.
Clang!
A soft sound echoed in the basement, crisp as a dragon's roar, and the sword light flashed like water, illuminating the space with a dazzling brightness!
Zhengyang drew the Pure Jun Sword from his back...
“Ha... ha... ha ha...”
Bear Big let out a chilling laugh, glancing at Zhengyang, before finally fixing his gaze on Ghost Granny: “I didn’t expect your eyes to be so sharp. In the end, you still couldn’t escape their scrutiny.”
“Of course! This old lady is the best at catching ghosts and subduing demons!”
Ghost Granny pulled out the Divine Whip from her sleeve, playing with it in her hands, and said lightly: “Did you really think your methods were clever? Even if you borrowed the bodies of Yang Person, no matter how skillful you are, or even if you’ve read their life memories, there will still be flaws. After all, this is not your own flesh. When the firelight shines on your faces, there are shadows—clearly indicating that your souls have not fully merged with this body. Do you really think this old lady is blind and can’t see through such simple tricks?”
So that’s how it is!
After hearing Ghost Granny’s words, I suddenly understood. No wonder when I saw those two at the Venus Temple, they looked a bit strange by the campfire; it seemed like there was a layer of shadow on their faces, making them appear eerie. I thought it was just their complexion being off. Now I realized that the shadow I saw in the firelight was actually the lingering souls of Saint Void Child and Bear Big!
“Haha, interesting! You’ve seen through it long ago and still followed us here?”
Saint Void Child clapped his hands and said, "But you really are a bit arrogant. Without your arrogance, we wouldn't know how to proceed. Well, since you have come in now, our mission is complete!"
As he finished speaking, a shadow floated above the heads of Saint Void Child and Bear Big. When the shadows landed, they transformed into two men dressed like missionaries, their faces pale and lips purple. They wore Priest hats, and an eerie energy surrounded them, clearly indicating they were not human!
The moment the two Demon Priests landed, Saint Void Child and Bear Big immediately slumped down towards the ash-covered ground. Before they could fully collapse, the two Demon Priests kicked them in the rear, sending Saint Void Child and Bear Big flying towards Zhengyang and Ghost Granny.
Zhengyang and Ghost Granny were quick to react, leaping towards Saint Void Child and Bear Big in a flash to catch them.
Suddenly, I heard a series of mechanical whirring sounds above me. I had been standing at the end of the stairs without entering the basement, so the noise was particularly clear to me.
This is bad; there’s a mechanism!
Run!
That was my second thought. The sound of the mechanism was clearly coming from above me, but I didn’t dare look up to see what it was. I realized I didn’t have much time left; without hesitation, I pushed off the ground with all my strength and leaped forward. Just as I jumped out, I felt a strong gust of wind behind me followed by a loud crash.
In the next moment, I plunged into the ash-covered mud. After nine thousand years, this ash had turned into sludge due to the seawater that had flowed in. The sensation of diving into it was overwhelming; my mouth and nose filled with the foul-smelling muck that reeked of decay. Thankfully, I had closed my eyes just in time; otherwise, debris would have gotten into them.
However, I couldn’t afford to delay in this situation. I quickly scrambled to my feet and instinctively turned to look back. The Passageway was already blocked off; a stone gate hung above the entrance. The earlier mechanical sounds were from that stone gate falling. If I hadn’t dodged quickly, it would have crushed me into pulp!
Thinking about how close I had come to danger made my heart race. I looked up at Zhengyang and Ghost Granny, who were checking on Saint Void Child and Bear Big.
For a moment, Ghost Granny lifted her head, and two cold glimmers shot from her murky eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, "The Life Soul has been devoured."
The Life Soul, one of the three souls, is indispensable for the living!
If the Life Soul is lost, it can be sought after, but if it has been consumed by the possessing ghost, where can one find it?
So, have Saint Void Child and Bear Big met their end just like that?
To be precise, they haven't perished yet; they have simply lost their Life Soul. For a few days, the signs of life in their bodies will not disappear, but after a few days, their bodies will grow cold, and the remaining two hun and seven po will also fade away with the wind—equivalent to Soul Shattering!
I felt uneasy as well. After all, we had spent so much time together at sea. I had learned quite a bit from them about the Move Mountains and Remove Ridges techniques; I had opened my eyes to many things. Yet in the blink of an eye, they had inexplicably faced Soul Shattering. It was quite disheartening.
However, Zhengyang and Ghost Granny were indeed furious. I thought... perhaps it was because the disciples of Move Mountains and Remove Ridges were dwindling. Losing two here must have pained them!
"Hahaha! The taste of living souls is still quite delightful!"
The Demon Priest possessing Saint Void Child threw back his head and laughed heartily, extending his black-purple tongue to lick his lips as he ominously said, "If it weren't for inhabiting a living body, I wouldn't have known that Atlantis has perished for so many years. The outside world has entered another era of civilization, and that world is so splendid! I believe that if our saintess could ever step outside, she would surely lead us to spread the glory of Orian God across every corner of the new world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the iron door in the southeast creaked open with a loud bang. Then... a large group of Demon Cultists surged out from within, their nearly frenzied eyes almost all fixated on me. I didn't know why they were staring at me, but being watched by such a large number of demons made my scalp tingle!
"Seize him!"
The Demon Priest possessing Saint Void Child raised his pale finger and pointed at me, shouting in Death Language: "Capture the vessel of Yin! Let the daughter of Orian God, the great Sima Saintess, break free from her predicament and once again spread the glory of Orian God to mortals!"
As soon as the Demon Priests spoke, the Demon Cultists that burst out from the iron gate charged towards me like they had gone mad!
"This is bad, they want this child!"
Ghost Granny's expression changed drastically. In a lightning-fast manner, she spoke with astonishing speed, "This child has weak Yang energy, making him particularly appealing to Dirty Things. That physical body can attract not only ordinary ghosts but also Yin Shuai and divine spirits. The big fellow imprisoned here clearly has its eyes on him; it wants his body. Once it possesses him, that big fellow trapped here will be able to escape the Soul Transformation Array!"
Without hesitation, Ghost Granny and Zhengyang positioned themselves right in front of me!
At that moment, I began to piece together some thoughts.
According to Ghost Granny, there was a rather terrifying Dirty Thing imprisoned within this Soul Transformation Array. It seemed that this Dirty Thing was none other than the Sima Saintess of the Demon Priests.
This saintess had been trapped in the Soul Transformation Array for nine thousand years and undoubtedly wanted to escape. However, to leave this place, she needed to borrow a Yang person's body!
The problem was that she was too powerful; an ordinary Yang person's body couldn't withstand her. Thus, I—a person with weak Yang energy—had appeared…
If I wasn't mistaken, we had been targeted by the Sima Saintess as soon as we entered this temple area. The disappearance of Big Mouth Lee and the others was orchestrated by her, and then she had two Demon Priests trick us into coming here.
In the end—she wanted to seize my body!
