Wang Yu
Chapter 798: One's Own Territory
Before she could react, two silver beams of light suddenly shot out from the ground beneath her, enveloping her figure. In an instant, she was unable to move even a fraction, and even the expression on her face froze.
Dense silver runes poured out from the silver beams of light, fluttering and swirling, instantly condensing into a simple magic formation, with two ancient silver mirrors embedded in the center.
The surface of the ancient mirrors rippled with intense spatial undulations, and the silver light reflected from them contained a strong wave of laws, reflecting the Zi Qing twins within, firmly imprisoning them in mid-air.
At this moment, the corpse of Shi Chuan Kong lying on the ground flipped over, and then a figure crawled out from within, surprisingly also Shi Chuan Kong.
At this time, his face was pale, his eyes were somewhat scattered, and his steps were unsteady, making it difficult for him to stand still.
Earlier, he had indeed suffered a not insignificant divine soul injury, which was why he had fallen to the ground. However, he possessed a rare treasure that could protect his divine soul, and he had quickly awakened not long after falling.
He did not rashly take any action, but with a thought, he used a clever ruse, silently separating a wisp of his divine soul and leaving it in the fake body to continue feigning unconsciousness. His true body then used a spatial secret technique to infiltrate the ground and set up this formation without anyone noticing.
Shi Chuan Kong shook his head vigorously, and the feeling of dizziness was slightly relieved.
He didn't look at Han Li, but made a strange hand seal with one hand and pointed towards a certain void. Immediately, a silver light shot out, striking the glass lamp hanging high in the air in a flash.
With a "噗" sound!
The owner of the lamp was imprisoned by the silver ancient mirror, and the power of the magic weapon itself was not enough to resist this blow. It trembled violently and spun towards the ground.
At the same time, the illusory image of the glass lamp reflected in Han Li's sea of consciousness also trembled and disappeared.
Han Li felt his divine sense loosen, and then his whole body involuntarily fell towards the ground.
With a "砰" sound.
His body crashed heavily onto the ground, sinking into a large pit.
But then, he crawled out of the pit with a pale face, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, looking exhausted.
Shi Chuan Kong looked at him, and the two looked at each other from a distance, shrugging and smiling wryly at the same time.
"Brother Shi, why didn't you take out this treasure earlier, causing us to be so embarrassed?" Han Li said with a sigh of relief.
"Brother Li is mistaken. These Silver Evening Twin Mirrors are my third brother's personal treasures. He sent them to Xingjiao Zhai through a transfer formation a few days ago to help me. I can't refine them, so I can only use the power of the formation. I really had no choice," Shi Chuan Kong said, protesting his innocence.
"Let's not talk about these things for now. Let's deal with these Zi Qing twins first. If they escape again, you and I will really have to leave our lives here," Han Li said, waving his hand.
"Shi Chuan Kong, if you dare to kill me, my master will definitely draw out your soul, refine your essence, and suck your marrow," the purple-clothed woman said angrily, her body restricted by the silver light, unable to even open her lips, only able to use divine sense fluctuations.
"Just a plaything that my big brother is used to. Do you really think you are a fairy? Besides, even if I don't kill you, will Shi Zhan Feng let me go?" Shi Chuan Kong sneered and asked.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to say anything, he crossed his hands in front of him, formed a magic seal, and pointed it fiercely at the ground formation.
A flash of silver light appeared on the formation, and the two circular mirrors immediately switched places with each other.
The two silver beams of light projected from them twisted violently in the void, and the Zi Qing twins imprisoned within let out a scream at the same time. Their bodies were immediately crushed by the twisted space, turning into a pile of minced meat.
The nascent soul infants hidden within were also crushed by the space and turned into nothingness.
When the silver beams of light were withdrawn, their bloody bodies immediately fell to the ground, splattering everywhere.
At the same time, specks of cyan-purple light escaped from it and scattered around.
"It is rare to see such a strong divine soul. Even though it is already fragmented, it can still keep the remnant soul from completely dissipating," Han Li praised, waving his sleeve and collecting all the remnant souls into the palm of his hand.
Then, he first waved his hand to retrieve all the flying swords, and then turned and walked towards the bamboo forest in the distance, picking up the strange glass lamp.
He stroked the lamp body a few times, looked at the extinguished glass lamp, thought for a moment, and poured the remnant soul embers in his hand into the lamp.
The cyan lamp immediately lit up with runes, and a flickering light emerged from it, enveloping the scattered remnant souls.
Han Li waited for a moment, and seeing that the glass lamp did not relight, and the light that had just lit up also dimmed, with only the remnant soul embers locked within the lamp.
He didn't know what was going on for a moment, so he casually put it away.
When he came back, Shi Chuan Kong was picking up a purple storage bracelet from the pile of flesh and blood.
After removing the dirt on it, he refined the storage bracelet and opened it.
There were not many magic weapons stored in the bracelet, basically all of them were things that needed to be driven by demonic energy, but there were many pills and spiritual materials that benefited the divine soul.
"Brother Li, these magic weapons are not very useful to you, but the pills and spiritual materials are just right for you," Shi Chuan Kong said to Han Li after a brief examination.
"Your divine soul has suffered a lot of damage this time. Let's each take half of the pills and spiritual materials. I don't want any of the magic weapons, but can you part with that booklet?" Han Li asked, pointing to a thin cyan ancient book.
Shi Chuan Kong glanced at the cover of the ancient book and saw the four words "Devouring Soul Refining Essence" written on it. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said:
"I'm afraid it's another evil and crooked cultivation method that I don't know where it came from. Since Brother Li likes this kind of weird thing, then you can have it."
"Thank you," Han Li said, taking the cyan ancient book with a smile.
Then, the two divided the pills, took some each, and stayed in place to adjust their breathing for a moment.
"With such a big commotion, not a single concierge from this Cloud Mountain Inn came to investigate. The entire inn seems to be quiet, it seems that they have already been notified," Han Li suddenly thought of something and said.
"Big brother's power and strength have always been the strongest among the brothers and sisters. It's not surprising to have such a method. If it was just secretly causing trouble, Tian Yue Hou could still pretend not to know anything. Now that there is such a commotion, I'm afraid he will have to choose a side," Shi Chuan Kong said, frowning.
"Are you saying that this Xiongju City can't stay?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That's right, you hurry up and recover, we have to leave immediately," Shi Chuan Kong nodded and said.
"But isn't your third brother..." Han Li hesitated.
"Alas, the situation is forcing us, let's just leave a letter," Shi Chuan Kong sighed and said.
...
About half an incense stick later, two figures flashed to a remote alley in the north of Xiongju City.
The two were dressed as scholars, walking quickly into the alley, but one was a pedantic old Confucian scholar, and the other was a young man in a blue shirt. They were none other than Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong.
At the end of the alley, there was a small and low shop with a very small storefront, the door was half-covered, and there was not much light inside, which seemed a bit dark and unclear.
Han Li, disguised as an old Confucian scholar, and Shi Chuan Kong, in the guise of a young man, looked at each other and shook their heads slowly.
The two figures flashed and shot into the shop at the same time.
In the already narrow shop, the shelves were leaning to one side, and various objects were scattered all over the ground.
Shi Chuan Kong turned a blind eye to this and went straight to the wall in the shop, raised his hand and patted a seemingly ordinary blue brick on the wall.
With a soft "喀嚓" sound, followed by a rumbling sound, a brick wall slowly retreated, revealing a hidden secret door.
Shi Chuan Kong took the lead and stepped into the door, and Han Li followed closely behind.
As a result, the secret room behind this secret door was also in a mess, a sophisticated small magic formation had been completely destroyed, and a young man in the appearance of a shop assistant was lying beside the broken stone pillar.
There were not many external injuries on his body, and there were not even many blood stains, but the two eyes that were wide open had turned gray and had no brilliance at all.
"The sea of consciousness is dry, and the divine soul is completely gone. It should be the work of the Zi Qing twins," Han Li said after a brief investigation and pondering for a while.
"In this case... there is no need to leave a letter," Shi Chuan Kong said slowly with a slightly condensed expression.
"What's next? After leaving Xiongju City, where should we go?" Han Li asked again.
"Ren Shan City. I have been operating there for longer than in Xiongju City, and it can be considered my own territory, so it is relatively safer. Moreover, there is also a teleportation formation there," Shi Chuan Kong took a deep breath and said.
"Since it is your own territory... why didn't we go there directly before? Wouldn't it be safer?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I have been operating in Ren Shan City for many years, and everyone knows this. So everyone can guess that I will go there. The reason why I didn't go before was because I was worried that someone would set up an ambush on the road. Now... it is both a helpless move and an inevitable choice," Shi Chuan Kong said with a wry smile.
"Since your big brother got the news and sent someone to Xiongju City, then Ren Shan City will probably be safer," Han Li nodded and said.
"I hope so. It's not too late, let's go," Shi Chuan Kong said, and walked towards the door first.
A moment later, the two left the north gate of Xiongju City and came outside the city.
Shi Chuan Kong raised his hand and waved, offering the Black God Flying Shuttle.
The two figures moved and stood on the flying shuttle. Shi Chuan Kong made a hand seal with one hand, and the flying shuttle turned into a black light that poured thousands of miles away, disappearing into the distant sky in a flash.
