Book 3: Chapter 21: Possessed

“Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Bai Qiuran asked:

“It’s rare for you to come to the world of living in person. What happened?”

“You should know this.”

Xue Ling sighed very rarely:

“Recently, thousands of souls are missing here for no reason. All belong to people whose lifespan hasn’t ended yet, so I come here to investigate.”

“Ok?”

Bai Qiuran pointed to the reeds not far away.

“Are there are those people?”

“I’ve seen it. From the bodies, they are indeed those people, but I can’t find their soul, thus it’s useless to me.”

Xue Ling shook his head and said:

“I was recently promoted to the position of director of this world’s department, and such a big incident happened.”

“Huh? Have you been promoted? Congratulations.”

Bai Qiuran froze for a moment and said:

“That means in the future, you Xue Ling have the final say to everything related to life and death on this world.”

Bai Qiuran, who has dealt with the Underworld many times, knew that Nine Provinces and Ten Lands was not the only world under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Realm. There were many worlds in other planes that were ruled by the Immortal Realm. On the road to cultivation, the final destination was also the Immortal Realm.

“Congratulations? No matter how good you say, when your life is over, I will not be merciful to you.”

Xue Ling said coldly:

“You’re lucky this time, someone sent you a lot of Longevity Pill material. You still have hundreds of years to live, so cherish it.”

Bai Qiuran touched his nose and remembered the materials that Su Xiangxue had given him before. If he went to collect by himself, it was estimated that he would have to forget it by then, and then he would have a fight with the Soul Takers under Xue Ling’s command.

“Okay, if everything is fine, Ming Ying and I will go back.”

Xue Ling glanced at Bai Qiuran, looking irritable.

“This time I knew that someone was looting the soul, but there was no response in the Book of Life and Death. What the hell has happened?”

“Oh?”

Hearing Xue Ling’s monologue, Bai Qiuran reacted suddenly and shouted to his back:

“Wait!”

Xue Ling stopped and asked back:

“Is there anything else?”

“This is the case…”

Bai Qiuran told Xue Ling the whole story of the ancient city incident.

“Land Immortal? This is their doing? No wonder there is no response in the Book of Life and Death.”

After listening, Xue Ling murmured.

“Do you know Land Immortal?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“I know, there are records in the books of the Underworld.”

Xue Ling nodded.

“But all the Land Immortals in this world should have been ascended to the Immortal Realm almost 100,000 years ago. I thought there was no Land Immortal left in this world.”

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

Bai Qiuran’s eyes lit up and asked.

“I don’t know the specifics. It’s long before you and I were born. I just listened to some old seniors talk about it piece by piece, mostly unclear rumors.”

Xue Ling replied.

“So do you know the operation mechanism of that ancient city?”

Bai Qiuran asked again.

“Let me see……”

Xue Ling hesitated, pacing back and forth, and looked up at Ming Ying again.

“Brother Xue, the rules of the Underworld…”

“I know.”

Xue Ling walked back to Bai Qiuran and said:

“Listen, today you haven’t seen me, nor seen Ming Ying, I don’t know that this incident was caused by Land Immortal, and the reason you know about Land Immortal city’s operation mechanism…”

“This Bai Qiuran is the most talented and unparalleled in the world, so I can naturally figure it out by myself.”

Bai Qiuran said immediately.

“Very good, I’ll go back to the Underworld to check for you. Wait for my news.”

Xue Ling took Ming Ying’s hand.

“Also, although you assist me in solving this incident, it will not be counted in your credit.”

“I don’t care about those.”

Bai Qiuran replied.

“I know, after all, in this mortal world, the only person who can fight with Land Immortal is you.”

Xue Ling said:

“I can only rely on you to solve this case. After all, I have also taken a look at the ancient city before you came, but the Book of Life and Death has no reaction to it. I think the soul of all these people has been destroyed by Land Immortal. ”

“Wait a minute!”

Hearing Xue Ling’s words, Bai Qiuran suddenly raised his hand and said:

“No response? I remember that the Book of Life and Death should have a response even to the Physique Integration stage cultivators?”

“Yeah, as long as you haven’t passed the Heaven Tribulation, your name is in the book.”

Xue Ling asked:

“What’s wrong?”

“Oops.”

Bai Qiuran reacted immediately, and his figure turned into a flash of lightning, and ran towards the hillside beside him.

............

“Um… uh!”

Above the high slope, Yue Qiandao lying on the stretcher suddenly gave a weak moan.

His palm moved slightly, and his eyes began to tremble with difficulty, trying to open his eyes.

“Sect leader! The Great Elder is awake!”

“What? Brother! Brother? Do you feel okay?”

Some vague voices came from his ears. Yue Qianren slowly opened his eyes and saw Yue Qianlian, who was full of worrying and surprises in front of him.

“Great, you are still alive.”

Yue Qianlian almost wept with joy.

“Are you all right? Do you still recognize who I am?”

“Ah, of course.”

Yue Qiandao showed a gentle smile.

“You are my family, my brother!”

During the talk, a strange black thing suddenly appeared in his hand, and he stab towards the back of Yue Qianlian.

“Be careful!”

In the blink of an eye, a figure flew by and reached his hand in front of Yue Qianlian’s back. The strange thing also stuck on the back of his hand, and it cracked into pieces with a click.

“Huh!”

“Yue Qianren” flicked his mouth a little bit uncomfortably, his figure moved, and instantly flashed aside from the stretcher.

“Do you think you can run?”

Others failed to respond, and even Huangfe Feng, who was the strongest here exclude Bai Qiuran, was in amazement because of the sudden abdication of his friend. Only Su Xiangxue reacted. A jade music instrument appeared in her hands, and a melodious sound suddenly enveloped “Yue Qianren”.

“Huh, charming technique?”

The enchanting charm in the music sound made the “Yue Qianren” feel turbulent for a while, but he instantly stabilized his mind, drew a blade from his waist, and a terrible huge beam instantly slashed towards Su Xiangxue who was playing the music.

Boom!

A figure appeared in front of Su Xiangxue, blocked the beam with his hands. The white beam opened a crack of a hundred miles in the wilderness. Bai Qiuran who just blocked the blow raised his hand without hesitation, and slapped it to “Yue Qianren”.

Bang!

However, the figure of “Yue Qianren” was like a phantom. Bai Qiuran’s palm passed through the body of “Yue Qianren” and hit the hillside behind the high slope. The entire hill suddenly collapsed.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that there will be such a strong man in the world after tens of thousands of years.”

“Yue Qianren”‘s body was shrouded in a thick fog, the same phenomenon when the ancient city was transferred. He looked at Bai Qiuran and sneered:

“But after all, it’s just an outpost. It can’t be compared to the techniques of our Sacred Dynasty. Mortals, the time is coming, and Sacred Dynasty will appear in this world again.”

After leaving those words, his entire body was wrapped in the fog and disappeared.
