The black figure paused. Even the red light seemed to dim slightly. The next moment, the black Qi around the person dissipated. Slowly, it turned into blue God Power. A face that looked exactly like Father Niu’s began to appear.

“I thought that you would only find out after a long time,” Qian Yue laughed mirthlessly. He raised his head to look at them, as if he had no intention of hiding himself any longer. “That’s fine then, you can all be sacrificed for the array.”

Suddenly, he raised his hand toward the group. The entrance to the mystic realm closed behind them. An array that looked just like the one below appeared in the air. Before any of them could react, they felt weighed down and their auras began to feel unstable. One by one, the flying swords dropped to the ground. They were unable to hold them up any longer.

The red light of the array intensified. Everything around them turned a blood-red as the group realised that their primordial spirits were compromised. They faintly felt their souls beginning to split apart.

Bai Ze quickly set up an array and dragged the entire group into it. That was when the excruciating pain finally stopped.

“You’ve… been hiding your cultivation!” Bai Ze exclaimed as he struggled to hold up the array. They battled several hundred times and he was the most familiar with Qian Yue’s cultivation level.

Qian Yue replied in his characteristic gentlemanly way, “I didn’t hide my cultivation level. It’s just that I am not the same as before, all thanks to your remnant soul.”

“It was indeed you that stole everybody’s remnant souls!” Xuan Tong shouted.

Qian Yue’s expression darkened. He sucked in a deep breath and said, “I heard that Bai Ze’s race is the only one to have survived from the beginning of time. His race was the one that chased away all the ghosts amidst the chaos in the beginning. Naturally, his soul is different from everyone else’s. To activate this array, I needed your remnant soul.”

“You wanted my remnant soul just to increase your cultivation level?”

“I need to be powerful and strong in order to do what I want. But now… it’s not enough!” He frowned. There was a determined twinkle in his eye as he raised his hand toward the group.

Lonemoon felt a great force sucking him in. He could not control his body as it flew out and landed in Qian Yue’s hands.

“Father Niu!”

“Lonemoon!”

The group stared on in disbelief. Qian Yue’s palm was inside of Lonemoon’s chest and he was using all his might to grab Lonemoon’s soul alive from inside his body. The red light flashed and he retracted his hand.

Yet…

Nothing happened.

(⊙_⊙)

Forget about the whole soul – not even a part of Lonemoon’s soul floated out. The two of them stayed where they were, one grabbing the other, their gazes locking.

Lonemoon: “…”

Qian Yue:: “…”

Everyone: “…”

It was extremely awkward.

“How can this be?!” Qian Yue could not believe his eyes. The red light re-appeared in his hand and he tried again.

Apart from causing creases on Lonemoon’s shirt, Qian Yue had no effect on him. Even Lonemoon looked down at his chest, confused.

“Mm, it looks like your soul system is incompatible with ours!”

A clear female’s voice sounded next to Qian Yue’s ear.

He jumped and turned around to find that a woman had appeared beside him from out of nowhere. She looked extremely familiar and was now looking at him through narrowed eyes. She was only looking at him and yet he felt an immense pressure pressing down on him.

“Who… are you?” His heart skipped a beat. He did not even have time to figure out how she got there.

She broke into a grin and pointed at the man in his hands. “That is my Father Niu!”

With a flick of her wrist, she grabbed his collar. Then, he was spinning in the air and all he saw was darkness.

Qian Yue cried out as his body flew through the air and landed on the ground with a loud thud. Then, several thuds followed.

The array on the ground was breaking apart. A moment later, the array which filled the entire mystic realm crumbled and the red light dissipated.
