Chapter 256: Bottom Line
The blank look in her eyes made it seem as if she had lost her soul, as if her spirit itself had been injured
Her pale skin did not seehtest trace of blood, like that of a corpse which had been entombed in a coffin of ice for a thousand years The hich blew across the pillar she stood on was incapable of blowing away her look of confusion
Her garments were stained with blackened spots of dried blood that see ti been washed away, they had dried and branded themselves onto the fabric
On her forehead was a wound, a gash that had clearly been there for soth of time It looked like a sound… that hadn’t healed
As her garht wrist becaash on it
Xu Qing was thinner
She was thin, and even colder than before She looked as if she had just ear hair draped around her like a cloak Her skin was so delicate it see Hao stared up at her beauty, see to even blink
If he blinked, everything would go dark, light would disappear, and he would no longer be able to see the beautiful figure in front of him
He saw the sounds, as well as her blank look He also saw that her blood vessels had been daed In that mo, standing there on theHao suddenly felt a twinge of pain in his heart
He could ignore Han Bei’s secret He could ignore Zhou Jie’s bizarre behavior The De Jade had spoken to hi Hao felt as if it didn’t have much to do with himself Their life or death, their bizarre situations, were things he didn’t want to get involved with
After all, the root of all the various situations was none other than the Black Sieve Sect itself!
Meng Hao had grown up as a scholar, and was innately intelligent and farsighted How could he not understand theJade?

And how could he not understand the terrifying power of the Black Sieve Sect?!
He did understand In fact he knew that the Black Sieve Sect’s forces were reater than the people alked about on the surface of the land!
“Discarnate souls possess the body,” he thought to himself “The discarnate souls are like those which appeared along with Zhou Jie’s divine ability that year, Cultivators who have long since died It seems countless discarnate souls exist underneath all of the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Black Sieve Sect…
“This Black Sieve Sect, is a Sect of the underworld!
“Returned fro to rejoin the world ofparasitic lives Zhou Jie exists in this very state, his body having been possessed He is incapable of recovering his own mental faculties, and should not have been able to seek out death as he did that day Clearly, so unexpected had occurred after his possession
“Because of that unexpected event, the discarnate soul that had possessed him was injured, which allowed his own soul to reawaken That hat had caused his confusion, his le

One is her own, one is a discarnate soul from the Black Sieve Sect, and the third… is the Han Clan Patriarch which eed from the statue in the Black Sieve Sect’s Blessed Land, and then entered her body!”
How could Meng Hao not understand these things!?
It was because he understood, that he didn’t want to get sucked into the situation But as ti, he’d started to get nervous Finally today, he was able to see her…
And now he understood that… he could not ignore the situation Xu Qing’s soul possession was a botto Hao couldn’t accept
