Chapter 722: Chapter 319 Evil Soul_2 Chapter 722: Chapter 319 Evil Soul_2 If one thing was off, he might only get injured, but the elder of the Yan Family would likely face the destruction of his Soul Spirit.
As he probed into the body of the Yan Family elder, Lin Jing once again encountered that special energy.
At this moment, with Lin Jing’s Soul Spirit present, he finally got a clear view of that energy.
The energy was extremely similar to a cultivator’s Soul Spirit, but there were differences; within it, Lin Jing could distinctly feel an extremely evil aura.
It looked like the work of a Demon Cultivator.
Within that evil energy, the Yan Family elder’s Soul Spirit had transformed into a small figure identical to it, and was currently sitting cross-legged there.
The miniature figure formed by the elder’s Soul Spirit continuously meditated while sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a blue light that kept the evil energy at bay.
The evil energy occasionally extended black tendrils, attempting to encircle the Yan Family elder’s Soul Spirit.
But upon contact with the elder’s Soul Spirit, those tendrils were immediately repelled by the blue light surrounding him.
It seemed that the evil energy was trying to erode the Yan Family elder’s Soul Spirit.
Seeing this, Lin Jing hurriedly controlled his Soul Spirit to approach the energy mass.
However.
This bundle of evil energy did not attack Lin Jing as his Soul Spirit drew near but instead released a force of repulsion, seemingly trying to push Lin Jing’s Soul Spirit away.
Lin Jing naturally would not allow this evil energy to have its way.

Next, Lin Jing stimulated his Soul Spirit, splitting off part of its power, and attacked the evil energy surrounding the Yan Family elder.
Lin Jing’s attack compelled the Soul Spirit energy to divide some power to counter him.
The evil energy was indeed powerful; even a small portion of it matched Lin Jing’s strength.
Seeing this, Lin Jing quickly divided another portion of his Soul Spirit power to bind it.
Upon splitting off another portion of his Soul Spirit power, Lin Jing immediately gained the upper hand in the confrontation.
The evil energy appeared to feel the pressure and quickly divided some more of its power.
To resist Lin Jing’s assault.
However.
After dividing off some of its power, the evil energy surrounding the Yan Family elder showed signs of loosening.
It was at this time, presumably, that the elder sensed someone assisting him.
The blue light that enveloped him began to surge, fighting back.
With the combined internal and external assault, the evil energy was momentarily unable to defend and was suppressed.
And it was at that moment.
That the Yan Family elder’s Soul Spirit finally opened its eyes and woke up.
Upon awakening, the Yan Family elder immediately noticed Lin Jing.
“Lin Jing?”
It was clear that the elder was incredibly surprised and even somewhat incredulous.
Lin Jing asked,
“Senior, what exactly is going on?”
“And what is this thing that has appeared in your sea of consciousness?”
The Yan Family elder hastily replied,
“We were careless earlier, getting exposed, and we were chased by a cultivator who practiced the Demonic Path and is in the Solidifying Body phase from Seaheart Island.”
“The thing that has entangled my Soul Spirit is the Evil Soul; it was cultivated by that Demon Cultivator, who slaughtered countless cultivators and refined it from their living spirits.”
“The Evil Soul specifically targets the Soul Spirits of cultivators.”
No sooner had the Yan Family elder finished speaking, the evil energy, the Evil Soul, started to stir again, trying to suppress the elder’s Soul Spirit once more.
Seeing this, Lin Jing once again split off Soul Spirit power, attempting to restrain the Evil Soul, yet it seemed to have grown cunning, only dividing a small portion of its energy to fend off Lin Jing.
While the majority of its power contracted fiercely, and numerous tendrils reached out, entwining around the Yan Family elder’s Soul Spirit.
That small cluster of energy was not much, but Lin Jing could not come up with a solution in that moment.
“Senior, how can this Evil Soul be dealt with?”
Lin Jing continued to resist the Evil Soul while simultaneously asking the Yan Family elder.
The Yan Family elder was also resisting the Evil Soul with all his might, but it was simply too powerful.
“This…
the power of this Evil Soul has already surpassed the realm of Divinity Transformation, only slightly inferior to a Solidifying Body cultivator,”
“You…
although your Soul Spirit is strong now, it’s still not quite enough.”
“If your Soul Spirit were a bit stronger, together, we could…
suppress this Evil Soul, and then I could destroy it.”
The Yan Family elder struggled to convey the situation to Lin Jing because of his resistance to the Evil Soul.
However.
It seemed as though the Evil Soul was sentient, not wanting Lin Jing to know too much, and at that moment it suddenly surged and grew even stronger.
The Yan Family elder also found himself completely unable to resist at that point.
“The reason I’ve fallen into such a state was due to Bai Yi’s betrayal, you must be wary of him if you encounter him,”
After imparting this warning, the Yan Family elder was once again suppressed by the Evil Soul and fell back into a deep slumber.
Without the Yan Family elder, Lin Jing alone was unlikely to have any effect against the Evil Soul.
Lin Jing had no choice but to retreat.
