Chapter 827 829 Soul Catching Stone
"Sir, I'm so sorry, our inn is full. Please go somewhere else!" Ning Qingyun came to Fuyunlai Inn and was about to enter the inn when he was stopped by the waiter.
Ning Qingyun frowned as he watched people coming and going in front of the store. "Since the store is full, why don't you put up a notice?"
"Excuse me, sir, our ordinary guest rooms are all full and the vacant ones have been booked. However, we still have a few suites vacant, so our shop still needs to attract customers!" said the waiter with an apologetic smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and prepare a suite for me!" Ning Qingyun said and walked in.
"Well, sir, please come this way first!" When the waiter heard what Ning Qingyun said, he immediately put on a professional smile on his face. Although he felt that Ning Qingyun did not look like a rich man, as long as he came in, he could not owe their store the rent even if he spent all his fortune.
Ning Qingyun paid a deposit at the front desk of the inn and was led to his room by the waiter. Along the way, many cultivators came and went, some in groups of three or five, some alone, some with smiles on their faces, and some cold as ice. The disciples from big sects were easy to identify, as most of them wore uniform clothes and had the same hairstyle.
Ning Qingyun's purpose of staying in this inn was to find an identity that would allow him to blend in with the crowd of disciples in the lower realm. This person had to be of similar age and build to him, and had to be a loner and inconspicuous. Although it cost a lot of spirit stones, this was also the most convenient place to find the target.
"Brother Zhan, I heard from my uncle that the exact location of the space crack has been calculated. We will receive a notification by tomorrow noon at the latest." Four or five monks in blue robes walked past Ning Qingyun, and one of them, a young man in his 20s, said to the person next to him.
"It's about time now. My junior brothers and the others went to the lower world two days ago!" Senior Brother Zhan replied gently.
"Yes, it's been two days, and my junior brother's life lamp is still on. Master said that my junior brother has passed this test of life and death!" The young man who spoke earlier had a tone of relief and emotion.
"Junior brother, you are lucky. 80% of those who came from Qingnuo Canyon survived. However, more than 300 people who came from Jiujiang Bay have died, and the survival rate is less than 10%!" Senior Brother Zhan looked heavy.
Everyone in the group fell silent.
They might go to the underworld tomorrow, and no one knows whether they will be lucky enough to survive.
“Brother, only the Jiujiang Bay has a low survival rate, the other two places have survival rates close to 50%. Don’t worry, with our abilities, there will be no problem. Think about it, that place is the revived ancient divine realm, there are so many treasures that even the ancestor is tempted!” The young man said in a relaxed tone. He was born into an extraordinary family, and his combat power might not be the highest, but he had many life-saving magic weapons on him, so he was not really worried about whether he could survive.
Ning Qingyun, who was not far away and heard their conversation, had no strange expression on his face, but his heart was in turmoil. He had heard from Xianxian that in the past, most of the foreign invaders were killed on the spot by the military, and only a few escaped. But this time, some landing points had more than 80% survivors. What happened? Did something happen to the military? Will it have any impact on the capital? Are the children safe?
Ning Qingyun was uneasy and soon came to a secluded courtyard under the guidance of the waiter. Seeing that Ning Qingyun had just been generous, the waiter was now very warm and thoughtful. Not only did he answer all the questions, but he also actively introduced the guest rooms to Ning Qingyun. The so-called suite was an independent courtyard with three floors. Although the area was not large, it had a wall, a gate, and an independent isolation array. Moreover, this area was located at a higher altitude, and the surrounding environment was in full view.
"Does this isolation array really work?" Ning Qingyun glanced at the waiter.
"Don't worry, sir. You can modify the isolation array at will. Just restore it to its original state when you check out. Our Fuyunlai Inn is protected by the city's priests. No one dares to cause trouble here." The waiter said, patting his chest.
"Thank you for your help! I'm injured and need to recuperate. Please don't disturb me!" Ning Qingyun said and threw a brocade bag to the waiter. The waiter glanced at the spiritual beads in the brocade bag and immediately smiled. "Don't worry, no one will disturb your meditation!"
Ning Qingyun entered the courtyard and immediately rearranged the isolation formation. He even placed two soul-catching stones outside the isolation formation. These were made by Ning Qingyun using soul-fixing crystals. The production principle was based on the soul-catching bell that Rong Xianxian brought from the military. The soul mist exhaled by the fire spirit played a major role. The amount of soul mist exhaled by the fire spirit at one time was limited. If it encountered a powerful opponent, it would be unable to defeat the enemy at all. However, the soul-catching stones could accumulate and store the soul mist exhaled by the fire spirit to form a small soul tomb.
Therefore, the Soul Catching Stone is much more powerful than the Soul Catching Bell. The Soul Catching Bell can only capture wandering souls whose physical bodies have died, but it cannot capture living souls or spiritual consciousness. The Soul Catching Stone, on the other hand, can capture living souls and spiritual consciousness. What's more, the soul mist that plays a major role in the Soul Catching Stone is connected to the life of the Fire Spirit and can be reabsorbed by the Fire Spirit, thus trapping the prey in the Sky-Splitting Disk. The Sky-Splitting Disk is a divine artifact, and once the prey is trapped, there is absolutely no possibility of escape.
"Xianxian, did you hear everything just now?" Ning Qingyun was worried.
"I heard it!" Rong Xianxian said softly.
"That was just the first batch of invaders two days ago, and the military had such a terrible time dealing with it. Won't the second batch tomorrow, and the third batch right after, be even more difficult to deal with!" Ning Qingyun could not hide his anxiety in his tone.
"We have to succeed in our return tomorrow. As long as we can return successfully, there will be a way!" Rong Xianxian guessed that the reason why a large number of invaders survived was probably because the Soul Forbidden Array did not play its due role. After all, she had witnessed the scene of encirclement and suppression of invaders. When the Soul Forbidden Array and the destructive thermal weapons were used in conjunction, the invaders could not escape at all.
"Yes, you are right. We have to find the target as soon as possible to make sure we can successfully join the lower world team tomorrow!" Ning Qingyun climbed to the roof of the third floor and looked around with a telescope.
Soon, he finally locked on three targets. They were from big sects, loners, around 30 years old, and their height and build were almost the same as his. One of them was from Danhua Sect, one was from Tiangong Mountain, and the other was from Donghaiyuan.
The main forces of these three sects are not here. The three of them are stationed near the Sixteen Mountain City because they are carrying out their sect's mission. Based on the principle of proximity, they chose to descend to the airspace here.
