Chapter 268 - The Main Culprit (2/2)

“Fellow Daoist Lonemoon…” Zhu Ming looked at him somberly. “I sincerely apologize. I was afraid to talk too much about it in front of Mother Feng because I did not want her to get upset. That was why I didn’t go into too much detail before. Now, her soul is extremely weak. She might lose the last bit of it at any time. If we don’t send her to Samsara soon, she might never get the chance to reincarnate.”

Lonemoon looked at him, speechless. He stopped asking anymore questions and Zhu Ming sped off.

Mother Feng’s abode was not far away. In less than ten minutes, the group arrived. They saw a red light coming from the abode and travelling souls running around in all directions. The place where her house once stood was now covered in a red array. Faintly, they could see the entrance to the mystic realm.

“Mother Feng!” Zhu Ming screamed. He ran toward the entrance of the mystic realm.

“Zhu…” Lonemoon tried to stop him but it was too late.

He turned around and shot the group a look. After reminding them to set up their own defensive arrays, he followed Zhu Ming in.

Red light filled his entire vision. It was still the same small mystic realm that was filled with the array. Now, though, it there was also overwhelming yin Qi all around. The array that Shen Ying destroyed earlier was now whole again, and it looked stronger than before. Mother Feng was trapped right in the middle of the array, and she looked like she was in extreme pain. Her figure got fainter and fainter, as if she was disappearing.

On top of the array, a person was floating. He was covered in black Yin Qi. They could not make out his looks, but they could tell that it was a male.

“Sect Master, it’s the ghost immortal that chased me!” Xuan Tong shouted.

All of their expressions darkened. This person is finally making his appearance. “The array down there can devour souls. Don’t get too close, everyone,” Lonemoon reminded them but it was too late. Zhu Ming was one step ahead of him, rushing in the direction of the array without hesitation.

“Mother Feng!”

Before he landed, there were a few flashes of red light that hit him squarely in the chest. Zhu Ming’s body hovered in the air for awhile. Then, a silhouette appeared. Zhu Ming’s soul was being split apart.

“Chef!” Lonemoon immediately shouted.

Yi Qing summoned a gust of God Power and sent it toward Zhu Ming, pulling him back up.

Bai Ze stepped forward and conjured a seal to stabilise Zhu Ming’s soul.

Yet, Zhu Ming cared nothing for his injury. He turned around to look at the person controlling the array that Mother Feng was trapped in. “Stop! Who the hell are you? What have you done to Mother Feng?”

The black figure did not reply. Instead, he intensified the array so that the red light became more blinding. They felt the frightening aura coming from the array. Their souls felt unsettled, even though they were standing outside of it. Thus, they had no choice but to retreat a couple of feet.

The group started. What kind of array was this, that even divine beings could not come near to it?

Lonemoon’s heart jumped. The remnant souls that Chef and the others had lost could be in this person’s hands. He turned to Shen Ying. “Shen Ying, you…”

He was just about to ask her to do something when Shen Ying seemed to have noticed something. She turned to Bai Ze and asked, “Furball, what’s the use of the Soul Stabilizing Pearl?”

Bai Ze hesitated, then answered, “Of course it’s mean to stabilize divine souls…”

“Is that it?” She pointed down.

They looked down and saw that indeed, a pearl was circling around the black figure. It disappeared and reappeared intermittently. They had not noticed before because of the thick Yin Qi. Now, upon closer inspection, they saw that the pearl was releasing faint God Power. It was the Soul Stabilizing Pearl! Any person who could use God Power to stabilize souls could not be a ghost immortal.

Could it be that the person was…

“Qian Yue!”

The four of them shouted at the same time.
