Chapter 987: Tearing Apart the Memory Restriction

Naji was obviously fighting for control over the Dark Soul Beast’s skull. He was also at a complete disadvantage.

Qin Lie glanced at Naji first before looking at Lian Du and the other Asura clansmen.

The pitch black skull floating near him and skull pieces were slowly floating towards Lian Du.

Lian Du and the Asura Race warriors looked overjoyed. Souls wriggled behind their eyes like shadows.

There were souls operating above the skull pieces like invisible threads.

Just like that, the black skull was slowly being wrested out of Naji’s control.

“This man is a devious person and he doesn’t belong to our race. He is not trustworthy.” It was at this moment Zhuang Jing suddenly warned him in a small voice. “We should let the Asura clansmen fight amongst themselves and solve their own conflicts. There’s no need for us to get involved.”

At the beginning, after seeing that Qin Lie was taken down a peg by Blue Flame Manor, Naji’s opinion of Qin Lie had immediately lessened.

When Qin Lie requested Naji to fight by his side, he even cut ties with Qin Lie and said that he was just a passerby.

Although Naji changed his mind at the very end, his actions were questionable to say the least.

That was why Qin Lie had hesitated.

“Also, this guy didn’t mention these Asura clansmen when he invited us over.” Zhuang Jing sneered. “In my opinion, this Naji was planning to entrap us from the beginning! It was highly like that he was the one who summoned these Asura clansmen over in the first place so that Blue Flame Manor can decrease their numbers and vice versa!”

“If you hadn’t charged out so suddenly, these Asura clansmen still would’ve shown up after some time.”

“He planned to take out the remaining martial practitioners and claim the spoils when both sides were bloodied and tattered… it is very possible that we were among the people he planned to entrap too!”

Zhuang Jing herself was just as devious as Naji. She was able to guess Naji’s plan roughly.

Her guesses weren’t far off either.

Naji was indeed planning to kill Blue Flame Manor, the Asura clansmen, Qin Lie, and Zhuang Jing at the beginning.

“What about you?” Qin Lie grinned as his eyes shone meaningfully. “What were you thinking when I was hurt by Blue Flame Manor? Weren’t you hoping that I would die by Blue Flame Manor’s hands so you may free yourself from my soul bind? Weren’t you the same as Naji?”

Zhuang Jing immediately looked embarrassed.

“I… er…” She mumbled for a moment before admitting in the end. “That’s right. I was hoping that you would be killed by Blue Flame Manor as soon as possible… I was thinking that I might even be able to obtain the Serene Moon Race’s holy artifact. Then, I would come to an agreement with Guan Lian and collect the Crystal Moon Cores scattered here…”

Zhuang Jing felt her face burned as she endured Qin Lie’s stare. She forced out a laugh. “I, I thought you were bold but foolish, and I thought that you would die for sure, so…”

Qin Lie simply smiled and stared at her without saying anything.

Zhuang Jing suddenly felt alarmed as pressure began to mount on her shoulders. She hastily bowed her head and said, “Your servant recognizes her mistake. Please… please forgive me, master.”

“Servant, master…” Qin Lie muttered in a low tone before letting out a cold snort. “You are as adaptable as you claim.”

Zhuang Jing smiled awkwardly and didn’t dare to answer.

“Do you know what you should do now?” Qin Lie asked.

“I don’t know,” Zhuang Jing said softly.

Qin Lie looked at her coldly as his eyes turned bloodier. Soon, a bloody light flew out of them.

Zhuang Jing immediately understood his meaning after she got over her initial surprise. She obediently lowered all the resistances in her soul.

A couple of seconds later, bloody threads that couldn’t be seen with the eyes appeared once more.
