Chapter 221 Soul Palace
Su Qingwu had never come into contact with the relevant secret method before. After this thought came to her mind, she tried to transmit her thoughts to Su Wen and Kong Jiu, and received responses from them one after another.
There is indeed a way to directly kill the enemy through soul lamps, but the caster himself also needs to pay a certain price.
A total of ten corresponding methods are listed.
Among them, a method called requiem caught her attention.
After this method is used, the enemy will fall into a deep sleep without being aware of the situation.
As a price, the caster must endure a certain amount of pain.
If you interrupt during this period, not only will your efforts fail, but you will also be detected by the enemy and exposed.
This default rule also applies to other methods.
In other words, once you start, there is no turning back.
When Kong Jiu spoke of this, his tone was solemn, and he reminded his master more than once to think twice before acting.
The same is true for Su Wen.
Su Qingwu did not make a decision rashly, but hid in the hall for the time being.
There are two disciples guarding the Soul Palace, both of whom are in the early stage of Golden Core cultivation.
At this moment, Su Wen's voice could be heard from time to time throughout the country.
The two communicated through telepathy.
"Whether we start with the soul lamp or not, we must deal with these two disciples guarding the temple. We cannot let them pass on any information."
"Do you think their own soul lamps are also in the Soul Palace?"
"Why do you ask?"
"The soul lamps of those who guard the Soul Palace are stored in another place. This way, safety is more guaranteed. If I were the leader of Lingji Sect, I would choose to place the soul lamps of all the monks guarding the palace in a place where I can see them on a daily basis. In this way, if there is any abnormality, I can detect it immediately."
These words made sense. After hearing them, Su Wen fell into deep thought.
"The soul lamp will generally only react abnormally when the soul owner is in danger. I think it is not necessary to eliminate the monks guarding the temple directly. It is enough to control them so that they cannot report the news to the outside world."
Having said this, she sighed softly.
"It would be great if there was a way to control the entire Hidden Mist Mountains and cut off as much contact as possible between the people here and the outside world."
In fact, Su Qingwu's original plan was to wait until he was promoted to the realm of emptiness, and then destroy the enemy sect in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, this sect has learned the whereabouts of the Qiankun Bottle. The threat is too great and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Every day she stayed put her in greater danger.
The innate treasure is extraordinary. Once the news spreads, what awaits her will be endless pursuit from the entire continent.
In order to solve this hidden danger, we will do whatever it takes, even at a cost.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt something and looked up at the palace gate.
After a moment, a creaking sound reached my ears.
When the monk guarding the temple saw the person coming, he immediately stood up and knelt to greet him, calling him the Sect Master.
Su Qingwu was surprised.
Could it be a coincidence?
Not long after she arrived, Liu San came into the Soul Palace. Could it be that he sensed something?
At this moment, the conversation between the two sides could be clearly heard.
"Has there been any abnormality in the Soul Palace in the past few days?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master, no."
"Maybe sure?"
"Even if two of our disciples need to go out occasionally, one of us will be left here on duty to ensure that nothing unusual happens."
"What about the disciples who came to the Soul Palace? Are they all okay?"
"No, they all carry wooden signs that say they will ban the gods. The sign is made by dripping blood and the owner will be identified. If the owner dies, the sign will be destroyed. It is impossible for someone to impersonate them."
After hearing this, Liu San still frowned.
Just now, he felt a sense of alarm in his heart and had an unknown premonition for no reason.
I contacted the other five fellow disciples and they all said there was nothing unusual.
However, the warning signs never dissipated.
Just in case, he immediately came to the Soul Palace.
If an enemy really sneaks in, this place will be their first target.
But when I came here, I found that everything was normal.
Whether it was the divine sense that investigated or the reports from the disciples guarding the temple, there was nothing unusual.
Could it be that his telepathy was wrong?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was immediately denied by Liu San.
Since he started practicing, he has relied on his intuition to escape life-threatening situations many times.
The crisis warning this time was particularly strong, even stronger than the experience three hundred years ago when he almost died.
Thinking of that, Liu San's face suddenly darkened, and he turned to the two Jindan who were respectfully standing in front of him and said:
"You guys continue to guard here. Remember, if you find anything unusual, tell me immediately!"
"Yes, disciple understands, and will follow the master's orders."
Before leaving, Liu San raised his head, his eyes sharp as an eagle, and scanned the Soul Palace again.
After confirming that there is no problem, turn around and leave this place and go somewhere else to check the situation.
In the Soul Palace, Su Qingwu hid in the dark, trying his best to calm down.
Just now, for a moment, Liu San's gaze turned towards the place where she was hiding.
She thought something unexpected had happened and she had been discovered by the other party, so she had been secretly gathering strength and preparing to take action.
Fortunately, everything turned out fine in the end.
Judging from the current situation, this beast has become wary, and the difficulty of subsequent actions will undoubtedly increase a lot.
Maintaining the Tianfan Shadow Technique consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy, so she cannot stay here any longer.
Right now, the longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for her.
Thinking of this, Su Qingwu closed his eyes and was about to make a decision. The next moment, the familiar creaking sound of the door being pushed open reached his ears again.
Liu San went away and came back, and once again came to the Soul Palace!
The two disciples guarding the temple knelt hurriedly to greet him, feeling quite surprised.
"What else do you want, Master?"
"Did anything unusual happen here just now?"
"No, Master, what are you doing..."
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
Liu San snorted coldly, scanned the entire hall again, then flicked his sleeves and left.
The two disciples guarding the temple looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
After a while, the two of them talked in low voices.
"What happened to the Sect Master?"
“I don’t know!”
"Could it be that he was affected by the war between humans and demons and was paranoid?"
"Hey, stop talking. The Sect Master's affairs are not for us to discuss. Let's just guard the Soul Palace well."
......
After Liu San returned to the main peak, he was affected by the warning signs in his heart and became restless. He quickly issued a summons that represented a symbol of authority.
The two disciples guarding the Soul Hall noticed the movement outside and were even more surprised.
"This is the sect's highest-level summons. Should we go?"
"Why are you going? Didn't the Sect Master tell us to stay here and guard it well?"
"The sect rules state that summons are supreme. Once this order is issued, all sect elders and disciples must put down their current affairs and rush to the main peak to gather immediately. Anyone who violates this order will be punished for treason."
"But...the situation here in the Soul Palace is special, and we must have someone guarding it."
"If we don't go to the main peak, what should we do when the law enforcement elders come to question us?"
"Just say it was the Sect Master's order, isn't that enough?"
"Brother Li, the sect master has an unpredictable temperament. What if the law enforcement elders go to verify the matter and he doesn't care? We can't afford the crime of treason no matter what!"
"Well, let's go together. Anyway, the Soul Palace has six layers of restrictions to protect it, so it's unlikely to get into trouble."
......
Su Qingwu was quite surprised when he saw the two disciples guarding the temple leave.
Liu San's action actually indirectly helped her a lot.
There is no one left in the Soul Palace right now, and all the monks of this sect are gathered together. This is the best time to use the Soul Lamp to catch them all...
