Chapter 1391: Betray Their Master? (1/2)

The sub-souls that the several Netherspirits had released merged into their bodies immediately after they arrived.

Afterwards, they kowtowed to the five evil gods with ancient graceful etiquettes and fanatical looks in their eyes.

Mo Heng snorted.

He had faced these Netherspirits who had released sub-souls to control evil spirits many times. They knew each other very well.

Not only did their arrival not upset him, but it actually excited him.

He was well-aware that he could not kill them no matter how hard he tried, if they only appeared as sub-souls.

A sub-soul was only part of their soul.

Each Netherspirit could create a number of sub-souls. Killing a sub-soul could hurt them, but couldn’t kill them.

If he destroyed a Netherspirit’s true form, however, even though that might not kill them either, it would cause them much greater damage.

A Netherspirit could have more than one sub-soul, but only one body.

“Nie Tian, think about it carefully,” Mo Heng said as he withdrew his divine dharma idol, returning to his normal form.

Standing in front of the Netherspirits, he held his hands in front of his chest, with his palms facing each other.

Pure spiritual Qi of heaven and earth swirled out of his palms and twisted together, like dragons or snakes.

Like rune lines, the ‘dragons and snakes’ manifested the great Dao and truths that ancient Qi warriors had derived while exploring the heavens and earth in the small space between his palms.

“Even if the five evil gods gather their fragmentary souls and memories one by one, and completely come back to life, their fighting strength cannot return to the peak in a short time,” Mo Heng continued, “If I were in charge of the Spirit Pearl, I would have had the power to make them obediently follow my orders, because they could still be killed by me in a short time after restoring their lost memories and completing their souls.

“But your cultivation base isn’t high enough, so I’m afraid...”

He was afraid that Nie Tian didn’t have the power to control the five evil gods, and would end up being drowned by tides of their negative emotions, becoming their puppet.

“Nie Tian!” Pei Qiqi shouted.

“Why don’t you return to the human world first?” the Spirit Pearl's soul also anxiously advised him again and again. “You can come back to this world after your cultivation base and bloodline advance to a higher level. When you do, those evil gods will still be able to gather their fragmentary souls and memories scattered in this world.”

Nie Tian took a deep breath, a determined look appearing in his eyes. “No!”

Looking coldly at the five evil gods, he said, “I’d like to see if they can actually break free of my control after they retrieve their memories, regain completely independent consciousnesses, and find their true selves!”

Mo Heng seemed to be impressed by these words, with an unusual light in his eyes. “This is not wise, but… your courage is admirable.”

Pei Qiqi instantly calmed down and said, “Alright then.”

Since their sub-souls had had secret communications with Luo Wanxiang, the Netherspirits who came from far away seemed to have learned the language of the humans, and could understand the conversation between Nie Tian and Mo Heng.

As soon as they heard that Nie Tian would leave the five evil gods alone and allow them to gather their fragmentary souls and memories, they became more excited.

They no longer felt the need to attack Mo Heng and Nie Tian right away.

WHOOSH!

Clusters of ghostly light, which were from the extremely far starry river in this world, broke their restrictions, quietly flew over, and merged into the five evil gods’ bodies like curious imprints.
