The person who shouted was none other than Zi Jingyun the Lightning Kid. He had not come alone. Behind him were about a dozen people, all of them experts of the Lightning Alliance. With a surging battle intent, Xiang Shaoyun looked straight at Zi Jingyun and said, ”Oh, you want to kill me? Bring it on!”

He was itching for a battle, and he longed to have a fight with this Cloud Margin Pavilion's number one cultivator below the Skysoar Realm and see for himself how impressive Zi Jingyun was.

”There's no rush. Men, watch him. I'll go up there and see if there is a soul spring,” said Lightning Kid before turning into a bolt of lighting shooting toward the summit of Soul Stone Mountain.

Apart from Lightning Kid, other experts were arriving from different directions as well. A few of them were no weaker than Lightning Kid, and they similarly soared toward the mountain's summit.

Xiang Shaoyun was in no hurry, so he waited there calmly and sank into thought, I harvested both the soul spring and the ghostbloom, but I did not find the soul raising stone. Looks like I need to ask Devouring Ghost about it.

”Devouring Ghost, any idea where I can find the soul raising stone?” asked Xiang Shaoyun through soul transmission.

”Oh! So you're here for the soul raising stone?” asked Devouring Ghost.

”Yes. I thought that the soul raising stone would be here, but even after excavating the entirety of the soul spring, I found nothing,” replied Xiang Shaoyun.

”I ate the soul raising stone,” admitted Devouring Ghost forthrightly.

Xiang Shaoyun staggered and nearly fell to the ground. ”Y-you can eat that?”

”Of course. How would I have restored my soul foundation? Remember, I was completely sealed by those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds back then and couldn't even use my soul power! Fortunately, a soul raising stone was hidden here as well. Left with no other options, I ate it and recovered my soul power,” said Devouring Ghost. He added, ”That is also why I can open this s.p.a.ce once every 10 years, all for the sake of looking for someone who can help me. Finally, my efforts paid off and you appeared, young master.”

Xiang Shaoyun had never imagined even the opening of the Land of Soul Springs every 10 years was also the work of Devouring Ghost. This was a truth that would leave many people shocked if exposed.

But he couldn't be bothered to think too much about it as the fate of the soul raising stone was bothering him. The mission he had received from Hua Cheng was to obtain the soul raising stone. The fact that he couldn't accomplish his task soured his mood.

”Why do you want the soul raising stone? Sure, it is a decent item, but it's not very useful for you at your current stage,” said Devouring Ghost.

”I was looking for it on behalf of someone else. But since the stone is no more, I'll just have to forget it,” said Xiang Shaoyun in disappointment.

”I see. You might be able to find more in the ghostrune territory,” said Devouring Ghost.

”That's great news! I'll go look for one right now!” said Xiang Shaoyun joyfully. But he had barely moved when he was surrounded by the Lightning Alliance people.

”You won't be able to escape. Just obediently wait here for our alliance leader to come deliver your verdict,” said one of them with a sneer.

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even be bothered to give a reply. His figure simply flickered before he vanished into thin air. Before that person could react, a slap landed on his face.

Pa!

He was sent flying, with a few of his teeth flying out of his mouth. The others were alarmed, and one of them shouted, ”Move together and detain him!”

They attacked together, surrounding Xiang Shaoyun with a flurry of energy attacks.
