Chapter 206. Missing Soul
Arc 7 : Last Nightmare
After Xiao Lang appeared, there was no expression on his face, and Du Yan couldn’t tell for a moment whether he had completely recovered.
He walked over, hugged Du Yan, and kissed him.
Du Yan was stunned, but he didn’t push him away. He thought that even though it was a dream, Xiao Lang had been miserable these years, and he couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
It was not until his lips were sucked until they were a little painful that Du Yan frowned and pushed the other person away.
After being pushed away, Xiao Lang’s first words were: “Why are your lips so cold?”
Du Yan said: “I am not a living person now, but a corpse-guardian? That’s not right. The spell that Lingxing Sect used to control me has been lifted. I can only be considered a zombie.”
Xiao Lang’s focus was somewhat different. When he heard Du Yan say this, his face darkened: “Lingxing Sect? They actually dared to refine you into a corpse-guardian! I will wipe out their entire sect!”
“……”
When the ghost king got angry, the negative energy in this space began to churn, and there was even a sign that thousands of ghosts were crying together.
Du Yan held Xiao Lang’s arm and said: “Although the Lingxing Sect’s actions are rather biased, they helped me find you, so it’s not necessary to wipe out their entire sect.”
“When I think about the fact that you have someone else’s mark in your body, I…”
Well, Du Yan still couldn’t fully connect with Xiao Lang’s thoughts. It seemed that he was not angry because he was used as a magic weapon, but because of the mark of Lingxing Sect’s taoist priest left in his body.
“I can let the Lingxing Sect go, but I will grind the taoist priest who dared to leave a mark in your body into ashes.”
Du Yan pinched his brows and gave up trying to reason with the wrathful ghost king. Xiao Lang now had a strong ghost aura mixed with dark red, a symbol of blood on his hands.
Du Yan thought of what he heard in Lingxing Sect about Xiao Lang’s extermination of the sect. He knew Xiao Lang’s nature clearly. Although he is a ghost king, unlike the previous Sun Jin, he was not a fierce ghost with hands full of blood and had killed countless people.
During the years that Xiao Lang was with him, he was no different from when he was alive. Unless the Tianshi Sect did something, it would have angered him so much that the Ghost King lost his mind, and a tragedy occurred.
Thinking of this, Du Yan asked: “What happened before that led to this situation?”
Xiao Lang was slightly stunned, stood there for a moment, and said with some doubt: “I, I don’t remember, I only remember to bring you back to life and find your soul.”
“……”
Du Yan frowned slightly and asked: “Are you still missing a soul?”
Xiao Lang nodded: “Missing Tai Guang soul.”
Du Yan finally understood why Xiao Lang, whom he first met, was so stupid. It turned out that he was a You Jing soul that only focused on emotions and acted completely on instinct, without a brain at all.
Du Yan asked again: “Where is Tai Guang soul?”
According to his speculation, You Jing and Shuang Ling have been doing their own jobs in the past few years, and they contact each other once a year to exchange information, so Tai Guang should also be in contact with them.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lang shook his head and said: “I don’t know. In recent years, You Jing and seven mortal souls have been responsible for searching for souls wandering in the world of the living through the ghost domain, Shuang Ling has been guarding the Gates of Hell waiting for souls to go to reincarnation, and Tai Guang…”
Well, it turns out that no matter whether it is a ghost or a human, the soul can not be missing, especially the main soul. If one soul is missing, there will be all kinds of problems.
Fortunately, there are two of the main souls here now, so it is not difficult to find the remaining soul.
Although Du Yan is now the Corpse King, he has not forgotten the various techniques he learned as a Celestial Master to ward off ghosts, but he has used them in a different way.
One of the formations is that when the ghost is too far away from him, he can use the formation to forcibly recall the ghost.
Now, the ghost contract between Du Yan and Xiao Lang has been severed, but it is still possible to recall the other soul through Xiao Lang’s two souls.
Du Yan told Xiao Lang about this matter and asked him to go out and find materials for setting up the formation.
Xiao Lang looked a little unhappy and said: “I think this is good. Why should I have an extra soul to share?”
Du Yan didn’t even understand what Xiao Lang meant. He repeated it dully: “Extra soul to share?”
Xiao Lang nodded and said: “I think it’s good now. Two souls are enough. Tai Guang is not very important anyway. If I only have You Jing, you will think I’m stupid. If I only have Shuang Ling, you will think I’m too indifferent.”
Du Yan took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress the urge to beat up this jealous guy.
He said: “Tai Guang is the master of lifeforce. You don’t want to find Tai Guang back because you want your soul to suddenly fly away one day? Now I am the Corpse King, and my life span is as long as yours. Are you not going to accompany me all the way?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang said directly: “If you need anything to set up the formation, I will go find it right away.”
After that, the two of them went their separate ways. Xiao Lang was responsible for collecting materials for the formation, while Du Yan stayed here to set up the formation.
Xiao Lang was frightened by Du Yan’s words and was very efficient. In just one day, he had brought back all the materials Du Yan needed for the formation.
When Xiao Lang came back, Du Yan’s work was basically completed.
Du Yan was a little worried that something might happen to Xiao Lang, so he didn’t delay any further and started to set up the formation.
One day later, the formation was completed, and Xiao Lang entered the formation.
A black light appeared in the formation and then began to turn white. However, before Du Yan could relax, he saw the light flicker a few times before dimming.
The soul summoning technique failed.
Du Yan stood beside the formation and carefully checked the seal drawn with the river of woe’s sand. There was nothing wrong. In addition, the situation after the formation was activated, which clearly showed that the existence of Tai Guang had been sensed. However, for some reason, Tai Guang soul seemed to be somewhat resistant to being recalled.
Xiao Lang, in the formation, also opened his eyes, stood up, and walked over: “Are you okay?”
Du Yan shook his head and then told Xiao Lang about the situation and speculation.
Xiao Lang pondered for a moment and said: “Maybe it’s because I only have two souls here, so the soul-summoning formation failed.”
After hearing this, Du Yan realized what he had neglected before. When he went to the Gate of Hell to meet Shuang Ling, he happened to see You Jing separating the seven mortal souls and refining them into the ghost domain space.
Du Yan frowned and asked: “How many souls are left in you?”
Xiao Lang said: “None, now the ghost domain almost covers the entire world.”
Du Yan felt something was wrong and asked: “I saw you using the soul-splitting technique a few days ago?”
Xiao Lang smiled and said: “When I met you in the ghost space in Shunping City, I didn’t want others to enter the place where we met again, so I closed the ghost space, and the soul in charge of that space was naturally taken back…”
Du Yan was somewhat speechless. The actions of You Jing soul were completely unpredictable. He said that he didn’t believe that he was the person he was looking for and that he was just a substitute, but in his actions, he believed in him completely.
Seeing Du Yan’s strange expression, Xiao Lang remembered the stupid things that You Jing had done. His ears turned red, and he said: “You Jing is a fool. Don’t bother with him.”
Facing this ruthless ghost king, Du Yan could only convince himself that this was a sequela of the soul being split for too long and not being able to be completely integrated for a while. When Tai Guang returns, this helpless situation should not occur.
Du Yan said: “Now the ghost domain has no need to exist. You should take back all seven mortal souls and try the soul-summoning formation again.”
Xiao Lang nodded and said: “Okay.”
Xiao Lang agreed to take back the seven mortal souls very straightforwardly, because the seven souls have no physical form, and in his opinion they will not compete for Du Yan’s attention like the main soul, so taking them back is not a big deal.
In the ghost space.
Wen Yicheng is struggling with the final boss. Last time, he lost the Corpse King and broke the sect’s magic weapon. His father scolded him first and then took out the sect’s treasure, the Corpse Binding Rope, and his own corpse-guardian to lend to Wen Yicheng under the pressure of the entire sect.
Because he got a piece of news that a rare drought demon appeared in a place within the ghost space.
Wen Yicheng was able to choose to enter the endless mode of the ghost space and always encounter this drought demon. If he can take this drought demon back to his sect, it can be regarded as making up for his mistakes.
Wen Yicheng was lucky. After experiencing two ghost spaces, he encountered this drought demon.
His father’s corpse-guardian had been torn to pieces in order to trap the drought demon. Fortunately, in the last desperate battle, Wen Yicheng had trapped the drought demon.
The corpse-binding rope wrapped around the drought demon emitted dazzling golden light, and seals appeared on the drought demon’s gray skin. It seemed that the drought demon could be subdued in the next few minutes at most.
At this last moment, the entire ghost space suddenly shook violently, and even the drought demon that kept roaring after being trapped became quiet under this earth-shattering situation.
This vibration spread from the ground to the air, and then the entire space was rippling like water waves, and everything in front of him became increasingly blurry.
When Wen Yicheng fell to the ground, he didn’t understand what had happened. He stood up and looked around in confusion, but he didn’t find the drought demon that should have been subdued, nor did he find the rope tied to the drought demon.
He looked at his father who was walking towards him with a questioning expression not far away, and felt that everything in front of him was just like a replay of the plot, but this time, it seemed that he had no chance to start over again.
“The ghost domain disappeared?”
The ancestors of the Tianshi sect who were maintaining the passage in the distance stood up one after another, and the sounds coming over confirmed Wen Yicheng’s ominous premonition.
This, what on earth is going on here?
