Chapter 278 (2/2)

”No wonder the Devil Blood Society people were attacking you so relentlessly,” said Xiang Shaoyun in realization. ”Do you know about any other soul springs?”

”Uh...don't you want the soul spring on me?” asked Hua Honglou, slightly stunned.

”Oh, sure, if you want to give it to me, I don't mind,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Dream on,” said Hua Honglou. ”I had only encountered this soul spring by fluke. A lot of my people were killed, and if you want to find another soul spring, I'm afraid you have to go deeper into the territory of the ghostrunes.”

Liang Zhuangmin cut in and said, ”Unlike regular springs, soul springs won't be concentrated in the same general area. Like mist, they drift here and there. Generally, people can only rely on their luck to stumble upon one. But of course, the deeper one goes into the territory of the ghostrunes, the higher the chance is for one to stumble upon one.”

”What? The soul springs can fly themselves? Is that even possible? Do you know where they come from, then?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

Hua Honglou shook her head as she had no idea, but Liang Zhuangmin spoke after a short silence, ”Is it possible that there is actually a large pool of soul spring water within a certain zone in the ghostrune territory? The soul springs we are finding outside are merely the ripples of that pool sent outside by a certain power?”

Hua Honglou gasped, ”If that is true, then that means a big fortune is waiting inside the territory of the ghostrunes!”

If they could obtain an entire pool of soul spring water, they would be able to create a large number of Skysoar Realm experts! Unfortunately, this was a place only those at the Transformation Realm and below could enter. However, there were Kings among the ghostrunes, and with their ability to directly attack one's soul with their soul power, no Transformation Realm cultivator could stand a chance against them.

If one wanted to go deeper into the ghostrune territory, facing the soul attacks of ghostrune kings would be inevitable. And that was something no Transformation Realm cultivator could survive.

Xiang Shaoyun suddenly thought of the soul raising stone Hua Cheng had mentioned to him. He thought to himself, Perhaps the soul raising stone is also located at that same place.

After talking a little bit more about the ghostrunes with Hua Honglou, he decided to set off toward the territory of the ghostrunes with Liang Zhuangmin.

”Hua Honglou, you already have a soul spring. Are you still coming with us to the ghostrune territory? Or do you want to leave?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.

The Land of Soul Springs would remain open for a month. During this period, one could freely enter and leave. But after leaving, one could no longer re-enter and would need to wait for the next opening in 10 years to enter again.

Since Hua Honglou already had a soul spring, the smart choice would be to leave and break through into the Skysoar Realm in the outside world. That would be a much better choice compared to staying in here where danger might come anytime.

”I'll go with you guys. There are still a lot of brothers and sisters of the Red House here. I can't just leave them all behind,” said Hua Honglou seriously.

”Sure, let's go together then,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

Hua Honglou had impressive combat prowess, so it wasn't like she would be a drag to him.

As they set off, she grew curious about how Liang Zhuangmin and Xiang Shaoyun had come to travel together. Liang Zhuangmin was a genius from the generation before her, and not even the Young Lightning King and Young Eagle King could compare to him back in the days.

Unfortunately, his cultivation level was stuck for seven whole years, and he was eventually surpa.s.sed by his peers. But in this Land of Soul Springs, Liang Zhuangmin was definitely among the strongest in existence. Even the Lightning Kid would fear him.

After all, Liang Zhuangmin was once known as the number one Transformation Realm cultivator.
