Chapter 486 - The Dark Soul (2/2)
Ziyun’er pointed her index finger up and said excitedly, “It must be to resurrect someone! It must be like this, collecting so many souls is to start the Blood Soul Formation!”
When Blood Soul Formation was heard, Mu Chengxue’s expression suddenly became very bitter, and the others did not speak as they pondered quietly. Xiao Chen thought, “Opening Blood Soul Formation does require the blood and soul of many people. But in the past two hundred years, the souls that Soul-consuming Evil Flower has sucked out are countless, so many, what kind of person need such amount of souls and blood to resurrect? Besides, why must it be the dark souls? This doesn’t make sense.”
Several people fell into silence, and None-flower Dust suddenly smiled and said, “Sister Zi, you are really getting more and more adorable.” Ziyun’er flushed and said, “Why? Am I not right?”
None-flower Dust smiled and said, “I believe there is no such ridiculous thing happening in our world.” Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “How can Brother None-flower be so sure?”
“Because I’m None-flower who knows things 800 years before and 500 years later! Haha!”
Everyone looked at him with a boring expression, None-flower Dust coughed and said, “Well, if you really want to resurrect someone, you don’t have to go through so much trouble, don’t you guys think so?”
Several people nodded. Indeed, if it was just for resurrecting someone, there was no need to make it so complicated, so that must not be the reason. After a while, Yi Tong asked again, “Who do you think is arranging everything behind this?”
This time everyone was lost in thoughts. “Now that there is not even a clue, how is possible to guess?” Ziyun’er suddenly said excitedly again, “I know I know!” None-flower Dust looked at her with interest. “Oh? Sister Zi, will you like to share?”
Ziyun’er raised her index finger, nodded her head, and said very earnestly, “It must have been done by someone in Devil’s Practice! Only people in Devil’s Practice will do this kind of thing!”
As soon as this was said, several people suddenly stopped talking, and all of them looked at her stunned. Ziyun’er blinked, her face puzzled and she said, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
Yi Tong put his hand to his mouth and coughed slightly. Su Lianyue smiled and said, “Little sister, you are really cute. Although we are in Devil’s Practice, we don’t bother to do such improper and disgraceful activity.”
Ziyun’er only then came to a realization. She had forgotten that she was now in Fort Raksasa’s territory, and yet she dared to say “Devil’s Practice” without any discreet. She must have felt that her life was too long, and she quickly waved her hand, saying, “Sister Su, don’t be mad, that’s not what I meant. I meant that the Devil’s Practice has always been, ah no, I meant…” At the end, it seemed that the more she tried to explain the more confusing it got. Hence, she hid behind Xiao Chen, bit her finger down and stopped talking.
Xiao Chen coughed, smiled, and looked at Su Lianyue. “Miss, please be bothered. Ziyun’er has always spoken without thinking.”
Su Lianyue said indifferently, “It’s still the same thing that you’re lucky that you’re in my Blue-water Altar, if it was the Dark-ocean Altar, you would already be dead a thousand times.”
Xiao Chen smiled and returned to the subject. He looked at Mu Chengxue and said, “What do you plan to do next, Miss Mu?”
Mu Chengxue shook her head, her face still very troubled, and said, “When some things here are settled, I will go to Wastelands with Brother Leng. Recently, Soul-consuming Evil Flower seems to appear frequently in Wastelands.”
“I see, and it is a coincidence that I will be going to Wastelands a few days later.” Having said that, Xiao Chen looked at Su Lianyue. “Next, I am afraid I will still be disturbing you for a few more days.”
Su Lianyue smiled and said, “I’ve said before, Mister Xiao shouldn’t be polite. If one day you’re tired, come to my Blue-water Altar to rest.” At the end, she looked at him with an ambiguous look.
“Uh…” Xiao Chen smiled a little awkwardly, and then the few people talked about something else. When the twilight was about to arrive, they went back to their place after dinner.
Three days later, Xiao Chen was almost fully recovered, his body had lost the stiffness that he had before, and his left arm had become more flexible. These days, he had also tried to absorb the delicate power of Seven-apertured Octarine Core Fruit gathered in the elixir field, but it seemed that this power had fallen asleep, and it was difficult to wake it up in a short time.
During these three days, Qingluan never returned, nor did she crush the jade note to send a message. Xiao Chen could not help but be a little worried. If she did not come back before dark, he planned to go to the East Continent in person.
When the twilight was approaching, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were tilted horizontally, and the setting sun was shining through the pane into the house. Ziyun’er finally came to report. Qingluan and Huangfu Xin’er had returned. Xiao Chen was finally relieved and went to greet them outside of the house. However, Huangfu Xin’er looked sad and sullen, and Qingluan who was next to her did not speak either. Both of them looked heavy-hearted.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Chen frowned and immediately walked over. He had a bad feeling. Huangfu Xin’er lowered her head and did not speak. Qingluan stepped forward and whispered in his ear, “Heartless Palace was destroyed.”
