554 The Lord Was Getting More Mischievous (2/2)

He did not even need such a strong power to kill her...

The Lord looked at Gu Xijiu and pondered.

Gu Xijiu was idling while staring at the huge pit. She was not even aware that the mussel was pulling her clothes…”What's on your mind?” The Lord asked.

”I feel its far too easy to uncover the mastermind, and it doesn’t really make sense.” Gu Xijiu subconsciously answered.

The Lord remained silent but he was amazed by her sensitivity.

The four messengers almost fainted. Messenger Shangshan complained, ”Easy? All the traps were linked, and he would have achieved his goal if The Lord didn't notice his bad intention! Miss Gu, in fact, you didn't realize that when The Lord rushed out to save you from the battle, the green man appeared and stole the bottle of Hu Qingqing's soul, even when we were hiding somewhere nearby. However, we managed to follow him and arrested him in the end… Throughout the plan, we might have even failed to arrest him if the traps weren't set properly. In conclusion, it wasn't as easy as you claim but The Lord was too smart.”

Fine, the enemy was not mischievous, but The Lord was too mischievous.

Gu Xijiu shook her head; she still thought that the green man died too soon...

He had made such a complicated plan but how could he just kill himself at the end?

”This fella didn’t die completely.” The Lord said.

Everyone looked at him, Gu Canmo was surprised and asked, ”He has exploded and nothing much has been left behind. How could he not be dead yet?”

”His soul was gone.” The Lord said with a dull pitch.

The people in the current world had no idea what a Nascent Soul was, but Gu Xijiu did. Fortunately, she still remembered the secret of fairy cultivation and knew that humans could produce a Nascent Soul when they achieved a higher realm. As long as the Nascent Soul still exists, that person is not considered dead even if his physical body was dead. He would still have the chance to resurrect.”

I guess that was what The Lord meant.
