Chapter 690 - Mission Failure (2/2)

Yi Qing, who had been in the kitchen, appeared in a flash in front of the demonic gate. He raised his hand and waved it, causing the demonic gate to close immediately. The passageway that led to the demonic realm was now closed. Then, he summoned his sword array to trap the entity that was made up of codes.

The system seemed to have noticed that it could no longer enter the demonic realm. Thus, it burst into green light. They had no idea what it was trying to do, but it charged through Chef’s sword array, and toward the ground.

Lonemoon stiffened and reacted immediately. “It’s heading for the River of Forgetfulness!”

He turned around and tried to stop it. Shen Ying, who had been opposite him just a second ago, suddenly appeared by his side. She reached out and grabbed him.

“What are you doing?” Lonemoon asked anxiously.

“Wait for awhile!” Shen Ying responded nonchalantly. She took another bite out of her fruit.

“What are you waiting for? He’s going to escape through the River of Forgetfulness!” The system wanted to enter the demonic gates to go back to the immortal realm, but it did not know that the hole had been closed. That was why it wanted to escape through the pathway outside Invincible Heavenly Palace. Since Chef locked the demonic gate, the system was now attempting to enter the River of Forgetfulness in the lower realm and drill a hole in it directly. “Shit! It’s gone in!”

Lonemoon paused. The system was already underground and in the River of Forgetfulness. His chest tightened. “It wants to run… Eh?” He trailed off mid-sentence when he realised that the system, which had been glowing green, had lost all of its light upon entering the golden source. The green light separated from the system and seemed to form another body. From the centre of that green light floated a white soul. It faintly looked like Shu Yi.

This was… the real Shu Yi that had been taken over by the system. In other words, this was the primary soul of the body. It was finally separated! The invader had not managed to accomplish her mission. Therefore, she would be unwilling to follow the system back. What’s more, under the current of the River of Forgetfulness, the system would not be able to keep a hold on the primary soul.

Everything was happening so quickly. In a blink of an eye, the original owner’s primary soul returned to the River of Forgetfulness. Yet, the system did not stop moving. After separating from the original owner, it continued to bring the invader’s black soul through the River of Forgetfulness forcefully. With pure brute force, it opened a hole in the plane.

“It’s done!” Shen Ying threw the core of the fruit aside and jumped into the River of Forgetfulness.

Lonemoon looked up at Chef, who was still in mid-air. They quickly followed Shen Ying. In a flash, the three of them disappeared into the ground.

The people and skyfiend, who could not see the system nor the River of Forgetfulness: “…”

Σ(°△°|||)

What was going on? What just happened? Why did Shu Yi fall to the ground unconscious all of a sudden? And how did the three of them disappear?

They turned around to look at Zuo Shuming – the only one who had been close to the three of them…

“I… I don’t know either,” Zuo Shuming said, confused.

“…” Were all the Soul Formation Supremacies so mysterious?

They turned to face one another, then looked down at the skyfiend, who was still on his knees. The skyfiend really did look pure and kind.

Speaking of which – was this a real Skyfiend?

For some reason, the fear that Yu Luan felt in his heart completely dissipated. He squared his shoulders and said, “Well… Fellow Daoist, we don’t know when the three Supremacies will be back. Why not you… Come back to the main hall with us and have a cup of tea?” After all, he did not seem to want to pick a fight with them. It was in all of their interests to remain harmonious!

“No!” Little Three quickly shook his head vigorously. Determined, he responded, “Exalted Goddess has not permitted me to get up. I cannot get up on my own. I’m a skyfiend that knows better – don’t even think about lying to me!”

Yu Luan pursed his lips and changed his approach. “Why not we send a cup of tea over here?” You can drink while you kneel?

“Sure!” Little Three nodded. “Remember to add more tea leaves! It perks me up!” For all he knew, he could be kneeling for another 500 years!

Yu Luan: “…”

Zuo Shuming: “…”

Everyone: “…”

F*cking retard!
