Chapter 869: Chapter 0869: One Hundred Thousand Life Souls

In the school, Long Fei returned to a dormitory filled with the smell of stinky feet and lay down.

Thinking of the beautiful women in the villa, and yet living here, his heart was filled with a sense of irony.

If he told this to others, they would definitely suspect some inadequacies in his personal capabilities.

As soon as he returned, the dormitory erupted into chaos.

Xuu Qiang from the computer science department anxiously asked, "Boss, where did you take our department’s beauty? The guys in our department are going crazy, each one clamoring for a duel with you!"

Song Hanlin gave a thumbs up, "Boss, you’re really awesome. Personally, I wouldn’t dare to openly carry away a girl like that."

Zhou Tao from the archaeology department said, "Today, Liuu Ruyan even asked me about the boss, wondering if you were married yet? Whether Li Wenwen is your wife? I didn’t know how to answer."

Finally, Long Fei raised his eyebrows and stared at him, asking, "Liuu Ruyan looked for you?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Tao nodded.

Long Fei frowned deeply, knowing that Liuu Ruyan must think he was deceiving her.

If it weren’t for needing to hide his identity, he would have spoken about Lin Yingying long ago.

Let Liuu Ruyan investigate; it would put an end to her suspicions once she found nothing.

He rubbed his head and asked Xuu Qiang, "Did Qin Yao go over today?"

Xuu Qiang exclaimed, "Boss, if you dared to carry Qin Yao away, the guys in the computer science department would really dare to fight you to the death!"

Long Fei chuckled, "I didn’t do anything to Li Wenwen; she just fainted from heatstroke, and I took her to the hospital."

"Really?"

Xuu Qiang raised an eyebrow.

Song Hanlin, flattering, said, "I knew it, boss. With your charm, you wouldn’t possibly forcibly take a married woman!"

The roommates all laughed.

Xuu Qiang said, "I’m keeping an eye on Qin Yao for you! As soon as she appears, I’ll contact you."

Long Fei nodded, his hopes resting on this beauty of the campus.

According to Xuu Qiang, someone had seen Qin Yao playing this game.

For such a long time, Qin Yao had shown no problems, there must be something strange.

In a cave on West Mountain in Binhai City, a round array emitting bright light was situated.

Various talismans interlocked and spiraled within, resembling a 3D projected city.

Golden lights within it flashed, transforming into small human figures.

Once the figures took shape, the woman sitting beside the array would cast a talisman, retrieving the figures and placing them into a porcelain jar.

The cave was a hundred meters tall, its walls carved with evenly sized niches.

The porcelain jars were neatly arranged within these niches, densely packed, easily numbering over ten thousand.

Just moments ago, the woman noticed a strange phenomenon.

In the array, a small figure was almost fully formed.

Yet, the array could no longer absorb any nutrients, as if the small figure’s essence had suddenly been severed.

She tried casting a red line, wrapping it around the figure’s arm to sense it with her own power.

No matter how hard she tried, the figure was utterly devoid of essence.

While the woman was pondering this, the stone door of the cave suddenly thundered.

A beam of light entered, and the visitor was a dark-haired, middle-aged woman with her face veiled in white.

Behind her followed two maids dressed in green robes.

Upon entering, the woman immediately went over and knelt with a bow, "Disciple Qin Yao, greets Master."

"Rise."

The middle-aged woman gently lifted her hand, a picture of grace.

She stared at the Array, her brows knitting together as she asked, "How much more do we need now?"

Qin Yao replied with hands clasped, "Currently, a total of thirteen thousand two hundred souls have been refined. It’s still far from the number Master mentioned."

The middle-aged woman said, "There isn’t much time left, we can’t continue to do this sneakily anymore. You must unleash your full potential and collect the souls within a month. If we delay further, I fear something unpredictable may happen."

Qin Yao expressed her concern, "But wouldn’t this cause panic among the common people?"

The middle-aged woman sharply rebuked, "It seems you’ve spent too much time in the mundane world and forgotten your identity as a Cultivator."

"I dare not!"

Qin Yao immediately bowed her head, her face the picture of respect.

The middle-aged woman said, "You don’t know that the Mount Shu scoundrels are joining forces with other sects, planning to attack our Mystic Yin Sect Holy Land in a month. By then, if we do not have this trump card, we may face the calamity of sect extermination. Great achievers do not dwell on trivialities. I know you pity the lives of these mortals. But think about it, who has ever pitied our Mystic Yin Sect?"

"Disciple understands. Within a month, I will do my utmost to complete the tasks assigned by Master!"

Qin Yao pledged with clasped hands.

The middle-aged woman cupped her face, and coaxed gently, "Qin Yao, I know these times have been hard on you. I treat you like my daughter and am not unaware of your feelings. Think of it another way, these myriad beings, their lives barely last a hundred years. But if they become part of those stone statues, they gain a chance for eternal life. Isn’t that an opportunity for them?"

"I understand all this; don’t worry, Master, I will never be soft-hearted again."

Qin Yao nodded.

"Then I am relieved."

The middle-aged woman looked back and instructed two disciples, "Stay here and help your senior sister hurry the task."

"Yes!"

The two women took the order with clasped hands.

Qin Yao frowned slightly as she watched them, thinking that her master still didn’t trust her. Nevertheless, with these two junior sisters here, she would not have to bear the guilt of going against the natural order.

The middle-aged woman raised her right hand toward the porcelain urn on the stone wall; a Mysterious Light shot out with a buzz.

The disks clanged and swayed, flying out from the stone niches and into the middle-aged woman’s Storage Ring.

Qin Yao sighed, wondering if these people would be reborn later.

But to them, life perhaps was more painful than death.

After respectfully seeing off their Master, the two junior sisters relaxed their demeanor, quickly becoming casual.

They lamented to Qin Yao, "Sister, why were you so polite to a mortal? Master tasked you with collecting one hundred thousand Life Souls in one month, but you gathered only ten thousand in three months. If not for you, we wouldn’t even have had to descend the mountain."

"Absolutely, the world out there is so filthy. I almost suffocated following Master."

"But the tall buildings outside look kind of fun, sister. Maybe you could take us out for a walk first?"

Qin Yao’s face darkened immediately as she scolded the two, "Bold, have you lost all sense of propriety?"

The two immediately stood up straight, and seeing her serious face, they dared not speak out of turn again, quickly apologizing, "Sister, we were wrong."

"Sister, please don’t be angry. We just arrived and were happy to see you. We spoke a bit too much, we hope you won’t take it to heart."

Qin Yao tightened her brows, warning them, "Don’t blame me for being frank, the world might not have as many Cultivators as our world, but it is still full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Your behavior could jeopardize our Master’s great plans. We three could all end up in big trouble. Here, follow my lead. If you act thoughtlessly, don’t assume I will be lenient."

"Yes, yes!"

The two nodded, showing an earnest attitude.

Qin Yao then instructed them, "Come with me, I’ll teach you the operating principles of the Mystic Yin Soul Devouring Great Formation. This formation involves life and death and must not be taken lightly. Outside, I can tolerate your mischief, but not here. Both of you must be serious."

"We understand!"

The two junior sisters exchanged glances, immediately obeying after a few sharp words from her.

It was surprising that their amiable senior sister on the mountain was so stern here, truly frightening.
