Chapter 498 (2/2)

An ancient voice rang out beside Xiang Shaoyun's ears, causing him to bare his naked soul without putting up any defensive measures. A black figure suddenly shot out of the statue and flew straight into his head.

”Child of the Imperial Nether Clan, offer your soul for my recovery,” said the black figure. It was most likely a remnant soul that was trying to take over Xiang Shaoyun's soul and body to undergo rebirth.

”You want my soul?” asked Xiang Shaoyun's soul softly in the head.

The remnant soul that had intruded into his head greatly resembled the statue. This was probably the soul of the owner of that statue. The soul had thought that Xiang Shaoyun had been completely bedazzled. To its surprise, Xiang Shaoyun still had his clarity of mind.

However, that was not surprising since Xiang Shaoyun's soul had the Nether Dragon Soul Headband on. The Nether Dragon Soul Headband was able to block all soul attacks and could also calm and stabilize one's soul.

This was something unknown to the remnant soul. The remnant soul thought that just by intruding into Xiang Shaoyun's head, it would be able to steal his soul. But when it saw the headband, it exclaimed in fear, ”O-our clan's divine headba—”

This was a remnant soul of a pure-blooded imperial nether, and was even a true prince of the clan. During one of the warring eras, the prince had been seriously injured to the point of no recovery. The prince had thus built this site here, waiting for someone from the Imperial Nether Clan to come for him to steal a body and undergo rebirth.

Yes, this trick was quite common, yet it was also an extremely effective trick. After waiting for so many years, a chance had finally appeared, yet to the soul's dismay, the prey was someone with their clan's divine headband. The soul was filled with despair at this realization.

One ought to know that the divine headband was one of the most valuable treasures of their clan, and generally, only their patriarch would be qualified to wear it. For some reason, this headband had appeared here. The soul's fear was understandable. It did not wait for Xiang Shaoyun to react and quickly left the head and returned to the statue.

”Why are you leaving so fast? Am I that scary?” Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and asked.

”I don't know which branch you come from, but since you have been acknowledged by the divine treasure of our clan, let's pretend nothing has happened,” said the statue with indignation.

”I'm going to pretend nothing has happened just because you say it? That will be quite embarra.s.sing for me if I agree, don't you think?” said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.

”What do you want then? Do you really think you can harm me with this tiny bit of strength you have?” said the statue unhappily.

”What? Of course I won't harm you. But since we are family and you are already dead, shouldn't you have some precious treasures left behind for your junior?” asked Xiang Shaoyun calmly.

This fellow had clearly tried to take over his body. If he let it go just like that, wouldn't he be a complete coward? He did not view himself as a coward. Thus, he needed some compensation. After all, with the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, there was nothing this fellow could do to him.
