Chapter 399: Chapter 192 Prelude to the Counterattack

The King-level Preacher made his move, the Beast Speaker’s soul shattered, the Soul Capturing Array was destroyed, and the connection between the two places was severed.

Inside the surface hangar of the 76th-level Fortress;

A terrifying sphere covered with human faces continued to expand and contract, growing unceasingly.

The few people present were tense.

Red Snake took the initiative to move forward, ready to unleash a spiritual impact.

"Don’t act just yet."

Wang Jixuan, who had taken a moment to regulate his breath, called out to stop him.

He frowned at the sight of the upper half of the sphere that had already ’phased through’ the hangar ceiling... an odd thing.

The scene was somewhat reminiscent of the Demon Path’s Magic Treasure, Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

The essence of this monster was resentful souls, and although not very strong, they lacked consciousness of their own; they were merely expanding chaotically.

Wang Jixuan sensed a rich variety of powers within it: the power of the soul, the force of resentful spirits, Spiritual Energy, the mysterious power released by the King-level Preacher... and so on.

The whole thing was a hodgepodge.

It seemed to have spirituality, yet was clearly incapable of thought; a mass of resentful souls entangled with each other without any force to lead them.

It seemed that the Beast Speaker’s soul might really have been directly shattered by the King-level Preacher...

Master Wang couldn’t help but muse.

Here was only a small portion of the Beast Speaker’s soul, and the result of its destruction was the birth of such a monster.

As for that strange King-level Preacher...

What was happening there now?

With the Soul Capturing Array destroyed, Wang Jixuan was unable to probe through the large array, but the Daoist wished the other party a graceful blessing.

It would be ideal if a tragedy unfolded there, one where resentful souls went berserk and slaughtered several Blade Beast nests.

Shen Qionglin asked, "Should I try attacking it? It seems to be about the level of an A-grade Telekinesis Spirit Ability User."

"I’ll try first."

Wang Jixuan, lost in thought, turned his gaze to Wu Man’s body, lying there quietly:

"There might be a part of Wu Man’s soul here."

Logically, this portion, being the first dragged here by the Soul Capturing Array, should have the closest connection to Wu Man, and it was very likely that it had merged with Wu Man’s lost Heavenly Soul.

Suppressing his nausea, Master Wang summoned his flying sword, with the soul of Jiao Long circling endlessly around him.

How should he search for it?

It was actually quite simple.

"Ji Xiao, Captain Zheng, come over here, and Captain Zheng, don’t get too close."

Wang Jixuan waited quietly for several minutes, allowing his Spiritual Power to recover a bit more, before flicking his fingers lightly, pumping his mana frantically into the flying sword.

Ji Xiao and Zheng Shiduo ran into the hangar together.

They had both seen their share of tumultuous events, but even they felt a tingle on their scalps at the sight before them.

Zheng Shiduo whispered, "Is this... the manifestation of Wu Man’s hidden sins?"

"Nonsense, this is the material used by the Beast Speaker for his advancement."

Wang Jixuan gave Zheng Shiduo a glance.

Strange, that guy had consumed a yang pill, so why hadn’t it taken effect?

Was the drug’s potency insufficient?

Wang Jixuan simply said, "You two prepare for chanting. A fragment of Wu Man’s soul should be hidden inside here. I’ll rescue him first, and the rest is up to you."

"Okay," Ji Xiao quickly asked, "Which scripture should we chant?"

"The Rebirth Mantra."

Wang Jixuan sighed softly, focusing his gaze on each face appearing on the spherical monster.

Each face represented a clone, a being similar to Wu Man, a human who could breathe, think, eat, talk, laugh, and frolic; they were also ’materials’ that had driven the Beast Speaker to grow stronger.

Wang Jixuan wondered how many S-Level Spirit Ability Users like the Beast Speaker there were in Spiritual Ability City.

Life is suffering indeed;

But does it have to be like this?

Wang Jixuan couldn’t shake the suspicion that he had mistakenly entered a Demon Realm; many things here continually shattered his preconceptions.

Dwelling on such thoughts was pointless; he had to save the young man first.

Wang Jixuan swung his sword finger upwards, and the flying sword surged with ripples as it travelled through the air, turning semi-transparent, emitting light on its surface, and striking the lower part of the spherical monster.

The monster suddenly quivered, its multitude of eyes turned toward Wang Jixuan all at once.

"Ah——"

Hundreds of faces emitted a screeching sound simultaneously, and rainbow-colored shock waves visible to the naked eye surged toward Wang Jixuan.

Shen Qionglin flashed into position in front of Wang Jixuan, his body shimmering with cyan symbols, his right hand elegantly swept forward, and a cyan light wall slowly advanced, shattering the shock waves in an instant.

"Thanks."

Wang Jixuan casually acknowledged, and with a gentle tug of his sword finger, the flying sword that had reached the center of the monster burst into a thirty-foot green light!

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly:

"Wu Man! Get up and draw talismans!"

The body of the spherical monster shook, none of the faces seemed to change, but among these faces, there seemed to be one that flickered with a faint response.

He had found it!

Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Power erupted, forming a giant hand that grasped at the void, and a very faint shadow tumbled out from the ball.

Wu Man’s body immediately reacted, the silver needles trembling incessantly.

Wang Jixuan extended his hand to catch, and three silver needles returned by themselves. At the same time, dozens of talismans flew out, the soul of Jiao Long roared, guarding against resentful souls trying to cause trouble.

Fortunately, there were no further obstacles.

As Wu Man’s Heavenly Soul merged with his body, ten identical shadows sat up, lay down, and Wu Man’s complexion quickly returned to a healthy pink, his Qi becoming calm.

The Heavenly Soul was in place, and the individual was fulfilled.

Wang Jixuan didn’t wait for long. The flying sword’s glow subsided, it hummed, and waves of green light gathered around it.

"Heaven and Earth Taoist power, filth be dispelled. Purple Mansion Cave Profound, chant the Taiyuan for me..."

The Spell ended, his sword finger paused.

The surrounding green light around the flying sword exploded dramatically, the spherical monster was instantly pierced into a sieve by the green glow, its resentful souls wailing ceaselessly, with quite a few malevolent ones being purified by the Demon-breaking Technique.

The flying sword reverted to sword pills and fell into Wang Jixuan’s palm.
