Chapter 486 - The Dark Soul (1/2)
“Soul-consuming Evil Flower?”
The moment the group heard the words, Soul-consuming Evil Flower, only Su Lianyue and None-flower Dust did not react a bit, whereas for Yi Tong, Xiao Chen, and Ziyun’er, their expressions became more serious. Yi Tong, in particular, immediately asked, “Did you find any clues?”
Mu Chengxue shook her head, looking slightly helpless. It turned out that she had been hunting for Soul-consuming Evil Flower in the past two years. After all, Mu Family Village was killed by the Soul-consuming Evil Flower a hundred years ago, and because Leng Ningfeng and Su Lianyue’s elder sister had a relationship, so they sometimes came to Blue-water Altar.
Xiao Chen also frowned. “How could he not know what she is thinking?” The Mu family was swept out by the Soul-consuming Evil Flower a hundred years ago. Obviously, she hated the Soul-consuming Evil Flower to the bones.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen recalled the time when they went to Mu Family Village (Note ①), and at that time, he could see that she had deep feelings for Mu Family Village, which did not exist at all, but the reality was so cruel.
In fact, a hundred years ago, when the Mu family was in great trouble, Mu Chengxue was not spared. But Mu Luo was resourceful and managed to save her soul with mystic arts, and imbued a void of memory in her mind. However, her memory was reset every seven years, and everything she had experienced in these seven years would not be remembered. Only until now, she managed to live like a normal person.
Several people entered the small pavilion, and Su Lianyue said lightly. “The Immortals’ League can’t find it for a hundred years. Do you think you can find it with just a few of you?” Then she sneered and said, “Leng Ningfeng, oh, Leng Ningfeng, you are as conceited as always.”
Upon hearing her words, Leng Ningfeng stood and did not speak, Mu Chengxue’s face became more and more worried, and Xiao Chen frowned, thinking that she used to be bubbly, always joking around and laughing with Senior Sister Luo, Brother Yifeng and the rest of Jade Qing Sect People. But since the last incident, she might have never laughed again.
Thinking about this, Xiao Chen felt bad. Back then she did not hesitate to sacrifice three parts of her Life Span to help him unlock the Spiritual Meridian seal in Xiao family. This Cause and Effect had yet to have its ending. No matter what he got to do he has to help her to find the clues about the Demonic Flowers to find out who harmed her Mu family 100 years ago.
And, more importantly, he has a bad hunch. “This Soul-consuming Evil Flower does not seem to have any connection with himself, but is it really not related at all? It seems as if there are some connections somehow…”
Yi Tong looked at Leng Ningfeng and said, “Did you find anything?”
At this moment, everyone, except Su Lianyue, looked at Leng Ningfeng. He said, “I have found out that there are three types of targets that Soul-consuming Evil Flower spreads on, the most of which are the greedy and devious dark people, such as some county magistrates, some wealthy businessman, and some treacherous villains.”
Hearing this, everyone’s expression had become serious. “Does it only absorb the greedy and dark soul?” Su Lianyue sneered and said, “By saying this, then Soul-consuming Evil Flower is actually doing good for the world by killing the evil? So everyone in Miss Mu’s family is of the dark?”
After hearing what she said, Mu Chengxue could not help but feel unhappy. Leng Ningfeng said, “Can you let me finish first?” Su Lianyue sneered and drank her wine. Leng Ningfeng frowned and said, “I told you to drink lesser.”
Su Lianyue slammed the stone table. “This is my place! Who do you think you are?”
“I’m your brother-in-law!”
Su Lianyue’s eyes were cold, and she said angrily, “Piss off!”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and stiff, and Xiao Chen had never thought that her sister was a taboo. Yi Tong coughed and smiled. “Well, let’s just talk about business?”
Leng Ningfeng also stopped paying attention to Su Lianyue who went ape and continued, “The second type is the cultivators, this type is in relatively small amount, but once such people are implanted with the Demonic Flowers, their internal strength will increase greatly in a short amount of time. For example, after a Nirvana Realm person was implanted a Soul-consuming Evil Flower, he will have enough strength to compete with a cultivator of Apotheosis Realm. But his life will soon end, and the flower and the man will die together. In the end, the soul cannot be found, so it must have been absorbed by the Demonic Flowers. This kind of soul has the most grievance.”
After hearing this, everyone’s look became serious again. Su Lianyue sneered and wanted to say something, but Leng Ningfeng said first, “The third one is the most common recently, mostly happening to a village overnight, entirely wiped out by Demonic Flowers, and without leaving a living being, all the souls are sucked away. This kind of soul has the most Malicious Grudge.”
Everyone listened and frowned. These three souls, the first one was greed and cunning, the second was grievance, and the third was resentment. These three souls belonged to the darkest souls of humankind.
Leng Ningfeng looked at Mu Chengxue and said, “As for Ah-Xue, the reason why the Mu family 100 years ago was wiped out by Demonic Flowers is unknown, but it is not the above three reasons.”
“Brother Leng’s analysis is very reasonable.” Yi Tong smiled and said, “So in the view of Brother Leng, what are these dark souls collected for?”
Everyone stopped talking. “Regarding the purpose of releasing the Soul-consuming Evil Flower, it is really hard to guess now.” Ziyun’er suddenly said, “I know! I know!” Several people looked at her. “What do you know?”
