Chapter 336: Another Part of the Soul Lost (1/2)

“Wait. Did they leave, just like that?” Lu Yun looked at the six profligates’ departing figures and gently rubbed his nose.

“If they didn’t, I bet you’d end up scamming the pants off them.” Qing Han couldn’t help but chuckle.

Although Lu Yun had achieved his primary goal, he hadn’t had time to implement many of his side plans because of the Gorb Demon’s appearance, so he’d been of a mind to try it one more time and have Beicang Qiong act as bait again.

The result? The six youngsters had made a break for it the moment they’d heard his proposal.

“Why don’t I break through to the void realm right now and be your bait instead?” Qing Han offered after thinking it over.

“Out of the question!” his friend vetoed right away. “That’s way too dangerous.”

“Beicang Qiong would be hurt if he could hear you.” There was a slight rosiness to Qing Han’s cheeks.

“Ahem!” Lu Yun also found the atmosphere a little strange and hastily changed the topic. “Anyways, since they’re gone, we’ll head for the skydragon tomb!”

Before Qing Han could reply, the governor slipped his hands into the disguised girl’s arms and dragged out a soundly sleeping little fox.

“Whaaat?” The fox pried open eyes still heavy with sleep, somewhat irritated. “Just now, I was dreaming that I’d turned back into the monster ancestor and was going on a rampage….”

“We’re going to the skydragon tomb, are you coming?” Lu Yun ignored the fox’s protests and cut straight to the point.

“Not going!” The fox’s tone was very firm. “Not that this ancestor is a coward, but, but… hmmmm….” Even after thinking for a long while, she failed to come up with a plausible excuse.

“You stay here, then.” Lu Yun plonked the fox inside the formation space he’d previously created.

“You two come back as soon as possible…” the furball whispered with a supremely sorrowful look at Lu Yun and Qing Han.

“Even with part of your soul gone, you’re still a lofty golden immortal, the monster god of the North Sea, an almighty figure even on Levitating Island. Why did you turn such a chicken after coming here?” Lu Yun looked at the fox, a little puzzled.

“I-I…” the little fox felt like crying, “I lost another soul fragment. I only have two hun and five po left out of the three and seven I should have....”

Lu Yun and Qing Han glanced at each other, speechless.

“I think we should take her back to the great burial mound.” Qing Han furrowed his brows. “Or perhaps Levitating Island.”

Although Lu Yun had the Tome of Life and Death, he didn’t know the first thing about souls.

The fox had been fine back when she’d been with Mo Yi. Nothing out of place had happened after Mo Yi had brought her to Levitating Island, either. But in the short time since she’d left Levitating Island, she’d lost yet another soul fragment....

It seemed the so-called monster ancestor tomb wasn’t the whole reason Mo Yi had brought her to Levitating Island. It’d simply been because the monster ancestor had left arrangements on the island to protect the fox and safeguard her soul.

“There’s no time for that.” Lu Yun lightly shook his head.

Boom!

The surrounding space vibrated as an enormous floating peak appeared at the center of the formation: the resurrection layout.

What had shielded the fox wasn’t the great burial mound itself, but the resurrection layout within, so Lu Yun immediately called upon the realms of yin and yang to release the peak where the layout was laid.

As soon as the peak emerged, the formation space instantly showed signs of collapse.
