Qingmu followed Xiang Sheng's gaze and saw that among the four lanterns hanging on the beams, one had a red flower embroidered on it that was different from the other three.
The small flowers were so densely packed that he didn't look closely enough to see that the small flowers were none other than the red spider lilies growing beside the Yellow Springs River!
"That's it!"
Xiang Sheng lightly tapped the ground with his feet, rose from the ground, and reached out to grab the lantern.
Just as her fingertips were about to touch the surface of the lantern, a white light suddenly flashed in the corner of her eye.
Her eyes turned cold, and she decisively withdrew her hand. Her body moved one foot to the right in mid-air, barely avoiding the cold light that was coming from the side.
Bang!
The cold light hit the surface of the lantern, causing it to shake and form a thick layer of frost, but it did not break. Instead, it burst out with a strange red light, instantly melting the ice and returning it to its original state.
Xiang Sheng spun in mid-air and landed steadily. She looked at Qing Mu, who was facing her on the other side of the lantern, with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Attacking an ally from behind, when did Brother Qingmu learn such despicable tactics?"
"If I wanted to sneak attack Boss Shi, why would I choose to attack from the side or rear?"
Aoki's expression was indifferent, his voice was cold and serious:
"It's not that I don't trust Boss Shi, but the Soul Summoning Banner is of great importance, and I can't afford to be careless."
Xiang Sheng heard the hidden meaning in his words, and a smile appeared on his lips:
"So Brother Qingmu is afraid that I will take it all for myself, but I'm also afraid that Brother Qingmu will break his promise, so why not make a clear statement.
How about we have a duel, and whoever wins gets to take the Soul Summoning Banner first?"
Upon hearing this, Qingmu shook his head:
"Competing is a bad idea. Not only is it a waste of time, but if we really get angry and reveal all our cards, we'll both be hurt. Wouldn't that just give the outsiders an advantage?"
Xiang Sheng knew that the outside that Qingmu was referring to was not Ji Qingya and the other person, but the person who was guarding outside the Nine-story Pagoda.
No one can say for sure what the situation outside the Nine-story Pagoda has been like in the past sixty years.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng turned his gaze and said, "Then what suggestions does Brother Qingmu have?"
Qingmu pondered for a moment and then told the plan he had planned long ago: "Boss Shi, the Heavenly Demon Ban is complete. If you set a seal, no one in the Star Realm can break it.
If you can just seal the Soul Summoning Banner with the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Code and leave it in my care, and then we can discuss other matters later?"
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind racing.
The dragon race has noble blood and its intelligence is no less than that of humans.
This Qingmu had already learned the ancient demon prohibitions and was talented in prohibitions.
If he had enough understanding, after being exposed to the forbidden mountain for more than fifty years, he would have achieved mastery in the art of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Mountain, if not great success.
If after leaving this tower, this demon changes his mind and takes the soul-summoning banner back, and then unlocks the seal after comprehending the Heavenly Demon Ban to perfection, I will have no way to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng curled his lips and smiled:
"Why bother with so much trouble? Brother Qingmu, you should know that the place where you summon spirits must be absolutely safe and unintrusive.
I think this is a great place to summon spirits. Why don’t you and I summon spirits here directly and fulfill our wish?”
After hearing this, Aoki fell silent.
He did have the idea of taking the soul-summoning banner away alone, but after asking Boss Shi to summon the soul.
After all, the soul-calling flag originally belonged to his mother, and he couldn't just watch it get lost in the world.
But if he summons the soul here, and Boss Shi wants to compete with him for the soul-summoning banner later, with the help of the Nine-story Pagoda, he may not be able to win over her.
"Brother Qingmu, why haven't you spoken yet?"
Xiang Sheng looked at Qing Mu steadily, "I just want to get an answer as soon as possible.
Brother Qingmu said that we are both wanderers in this world, so why aren't you in a hurry at all? "
Aoki's body trembled slightly, his lips were pursed, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly suppressed that slight struggle and said in a deep voice, "Just do as Boss Shi said and summon the spirit immediately!"
The soul-summoning banner summons the undead, consuming the energy of life and death rather than the banner itself.
There is no need to argue about the order of summoning souls.
"There are many people I wish to resurrect. Brother Aoki, please go first."
After Xiang Sheng politely gave way, Qingmu... or rather Si Wuli, was not polite either. He walked straight to the lantern, took out the jade bottle, and uncorked it.
The soul-calling flag lit up slightly, and the black and white air in the bottle was immediately attracted, condensing into a black and white interwoven smoke, rising straight up and merging into the lantern.
Qing Mu's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself:
"On the Three Lives Stone, the Five Elements rotate, the gods descend, and the heaven and earth are transparent. In the dark road of the underworld, the place of life and death, the three souls return to their original spirits, and the seven spirits protect themselves!
Soul, come back! "
The last four words were uttered like thunder, and the surface of the soul-calling banner shone brightly red, condensing into a red streak that shot into the boundless void.
Si Wu Li's eyes were fixed on the void, his heart beating so fast that it almost reached his throat.
"Xiang Sheng, what on earth are you..."
At the same time, Xiang Sheng, who was watching the ceremony, suddenly felt a pain between his eyebrows and a feeling of discomfort in his soul.
I didn't know that when summoning souls, the souls of the people watching the ceremony will also be attracted. It is indeed a divine object.
She quickly lowered her eyes, no longer looking at the soul-calling banner, and focused her mind to stabilize her spirit.
However, she didn't know that the moment she looked away, most of the red light in the soul-calling banner dissipated in an instant.
Not long after, the red light that shot into the void also dissipated into nothingness, and a black and white gas flew back from under the lamp holder and returned to the bottle.
Si Wu Li stared blankly at the life and death energy in the bottle that was not missing a trace.
I was clearly halfway to success just now, how come I suddenly failed?
Is she not dead, or...
Si Wu Li's eyes darkened and he forced himself to suppress his second guess.
The ancient people are accustomed to lying, she must not be dead!
