Chapter 410: Yin and Yang Monarch’s Decision (1/2)

As Jiang Lan had been observing the fight, she noticed the fluctuation underground. The other five succubi also noticed the hidden being as they were familiar with this type of racial ability.

Only a succubus queen, a succubus ancestor, or a succubus with Xu Chu's bloodline could use it.

Unlike human cultivators, succubi could utilize their souls in the early stages as it was their specialty. However, it was different from what nascent soul experts could do.

Succubi were known as dream demons for a reason. When their strength reached the 6th-stage, they could temporarily change their physical body into a spiritual form, similar to Ma Moxi's Heaven and Earth Escape technique.

However, a 6th-stage succubus couldn't deploy, eject, or separate her soul from her real body like what nascent soul experts could do as her soul and physical body were still attached to each other. Only when a succubus reached the 7th-stage, she could display more potential as a dream demon.

Still, at this stage, a 6th-stage succubus in her dream demon form was capable of killing any 7th-stage cultivator's nascent soul with their soul attacks. Even Jia Shan was afraid of confronting Xu Xiuying directly even though he had a sword domain because of the notorious dream demon's ability, which was the reason why he didn't directly confront Wei Huang, Fu De, and Xu Xiuying when they first fought.

Any succubi in this phase form could move anywhere unhindered. Unless their opponent was an exceptional 7th-stage cultivator like Ma Ping or a fellow succubus, no one would be able to detect them.

In short, dream demon transformation was a variant version of Ma Moxi's Heaven and Earth Escape with an extra ability to attack the souls of weak mortals.

Jiang Lan became one of the chosen representatives because of this ability. In her dream demon form, she could destroy her opponent's nascent soul directly while their opponent's nascent soul or embryo was still inside their bodies.

Furthermore, any 7th-stage succubus in the dream demon form could potentially kill 8th-stage cultivators as their attacks would become as powerful as soul attacks from an 8th-stage cultivator, according to Xu Chu's testimony!

Jiang Lan used to spar with Fogan in this form, and the latter was terrified by her soul attacks. Thus, he gave up before he got injured, boosting Jiang Lan's status among the representatives.

'Xu Xiuying never used this skill since she doesn't know how to use it properly. If she is using it now, that means, the dream demon over there is White Album. She must have taken over Xu Xiuying's body again.'

Miaomiao had informed the girls about White Album's existence. The familiar had been attempting to take over Xu Xiuying's body ever since they had captured her.

Seeing how White Album moved around under the platform, Jiang Lan and other succubi figured that Miaomiao might have planning to involve her in the fight.

'Will that deity allow it? He should be able to sense White Album, right?'

…

Jiang Lan and the succubi were not the only ones who could sense White Album's whereabouts. The souls within sword in Kang Yan's hand began talking among themselves.

Ling Tianlong's immortal-grade weapon didn't only contain Kang Dongfang's soul. Two more monster monarchs had been living in there as well.

The Yin Monarch and the Yang Monarch

The two snake spirits were the real bodies of the immortal-grade sword. As for Kang Dongfang, he was eaten by the snakes, and his soul was trapped in their bodies.

Ling Tianlong rescued Kang Dongfang's soul from the two snakes, but the soul of the expert was bound to them as he had merged with the monsters for too long. As such, three souls remained in one weapon, waiting for Ling Tianlong to find a new host for everyone.

Currently, Kang Dongfang had been hibernating, exhausted from the memory transfer procedure. He had taught Kang Yan everything and was satisfied.

Only when Kang Dongfang was asleep, the two monarchs could come out and start wreaking havoc with Ling Tianlong. Currently, Yin Monarch and Yang Monarch resumed control over the weapon.

However, they hadn't acted, moved, or attempted to interact with their new master, Kang Yan, yet. They simply watched the fight by the sideline, confused about what had happened to their ex-master.

”This is unfair. Tianlong doesn't have a weapon, but his opponent has a heaven-grade weapon.”

”But we're no longer tied to that brat. Kang Dongfang already sold his soul to his daughter. We have no obligation to help him anymore.”

”But he promised us a new host. He said that he would hunt dragons and steal their bodies for us!”

”White, you must have been fooled. Earth Dragon entrusted Ling Tianlong with his bloodline and the mural. I doubt he would fight another dragon for us.”

”But he promised!”

”Humans lie, cheat, steal, and kill each other to get ahead. He's using us as a stepping stone, while we're using him to get out of that desolated hell hole. We used each other, simple, period.”

”Black, you're cruel. We and Ling Tianlong have been through thick and thin for a long time! Aren't we comrades?”

”Comrade?”

While they were inside the sword, their souls had been chatting.

Yang Monarch, the black snake, sneered at the white snake as he pointed at the crowd of Siren City's side.

”Look.”

”???”

”These people, do they deserve to die?”

”Of course not.”

”But Tianlong wants them dead.”

”… Huh? Why?”

”Didn't you read his mind? He wanted revenge, but he took it on the innocent people instead of going after the culprit.”

”But he… He's a good man.”

”Good man? Pfft!”
