Chapter 138 Soul Chasing Sticks (2/2)

'Who the hell were these mysterious men? They even deployed a large array in order to kill cultivators and collect their souls.'

Hundreds of cultivators from different schools and sects had flocked here to get their hands on the celestial energy ginseng.

Almost all of the disciples of the five major sects from Violet Orchid Empire had journeyed here. Besides, a lot of powerful people were present as well.

y deployed by these men was called Soul Collection Array and the weapons these men used for soul collection were known as soul chasing sticks. The men in black even planned to collect cultivators' souls. So these men were skilled in soul collecting.

Soul, namely the spiritual soul left after one's death, was a type of relatively peculiar energy in the universe. It could preserve all of one's existence such as memories and emotions after his or her death. In other words, it was another form of existence after one's death.

Souls, simply put, are ghosts, which is a more common interpretation of people.

However, they couldn't be preserved for ever in the universe, because they were not supported by bodies. Their energy would gradually grow weaker as time passed by. Eventually, the souls fully dissipated and left the universe.

Austin had no idea why these men were collecting souls.

But instead of pondering over this revelation, Austin released another spiritual sense flying needle, which intruded the man's brain. He then wielded his Negative Shadow Blade, finally putting an end to the man's life.

While he was fighting with men in black, Austin left Fanny somewhere away from the fighting. After he finished them off, Austin went to Fanny and pulled her closer to him.

Fanny was only 16 years old. Apart from her grandfather, no other man had ever dared to touch her body while she grew up.

But so far, Austin had touched her over and over again. The thought annoyed and embarrassed Fanny, turning her cheeks pink.

However, under the current situation, it was better if she didn't make any fuss.

”Fanny, have these men successfully deployed the array?”

Fanny replied after thinking for a few moments, ”Yes, the energy within the valley has been more or less controlled. They have successfully deployed the array.”

”Then, how do we escape from the array?”

”Hmm, this array is rather impressive. But there is a weak point in the northeast side. We can easily escape through that side.”

Austin adopted his bodily movement skill as soon as he heard what Fanny had deduced and flew towards the northeast side with rocket-like speed.
