Chapter 318: Awakening the City
Lord When the city lord passed by the border between Youyuan City and Youling City, he felt the spatial fluctuations and went forward to investigate.
At that time, he realized that there was a secret realm between Youyuan City and Youling City.
This news is good news for him.
After all, Youling City is remote and not very populated. If this could attract more cultivators, it would be a good thing for Youling City.
So after he returned, he told the major families and discussed with everyone how to arrange things when the time comes.
Who would have thought that two days after he said that, he inexplicably fainted and never woke up again.
"I don't know why he suddenly fainted. Later, I used my spiritual power to explore his body and found that he was missing one soul and one spirit. I have been looking for it for so many years, but no matter what magic weapon I used, I couldn't find out where his soul and spirit went. I thought they would be in the secret realm, but they were not there either.
Perhaps his soul is not in this secret realm..."
"Not in this secret realm?" Xu Qiuqian immediately grasped the key point of this sentence, "What do you mean?"
"My husband didn't mention it to anyone else at the time, not even to the people from the major families. He only mentioned it to me. He said he felt two spatial fluctuations, but the other one was so small that he could hardly feel it. He was afraid it was just an illusion, so he didn't say anything."
"Then how do you know for sure there are other secret realms?"
Upon hearing this, City Lord Tan looked at Xu Qiuqian in confusion: "Doesn't Manager Xu know what happened during this period of time?"
"Uh, yes, I was busy with training and teleportation during this period, so I don't know what happened outside."
“That’s true. Although the secret realm has been closed, there are still people going there every day. Some cultivators said that they can still feel the spatial fluctuations there, but they can’t find it.
Some real people from Youyuan City also went there to take a look and confirmed that there was indeed a very strange spatial fluctuation, so I guess that my husband's soul and spirit were very likely sucked into that secret realm.
That must be a very dangerous secret place, and we haven't seen the entrance so far. My husband's condition is getting worse and worse. We can't wait any longer."
That's why she invited Xu Qiuqian, wanting to see if Xu Qiuqian had any treasure that could bring back the soul of the city lord.
That secret realm is an independent space, and ordinary magic weapons may not be able to call it back.
The key is that I can’t find it.
Xu Qiuqian entered the Void Mall and searched for magical instruments related to souls.
It has to be said that the prices of magical instruments related to souls are ridiculously high, but they do exist, and you can call back a soul and a spirit without having to look for them. It will be easier to call them back with the existence of the main soul. If there is no main soul, you will have to pay a huge price to call them back.
Exit from the Void Mall.
I originally planned to wait for three days, but after giving it some thought, I decided not to.
Let's make an exception this time.
"I happen to have a magical tool that can bring back souls, but it's very expensive."
"I'm willing to take any amount of spirit stones!" City Lord Tan said quickly.
Xu Qiuqian nodded: "That's fine."
Then he took out the magic weapon.
"This item is called the Soul Summoning Banner. As the name suggests, it can summon lost souls. Do you have a personal item that he used before? The closer you use it and the longer you use it, the better. This way the effect will be more obvious. But it would be best if it was a smaller item."
"Yes, this storage ring should be considered a personal item, right?"
Xu Qiuqian responded.
Storage rings do count.
She flipped the fingers on her hand and inserted the lower end of the soul-calling flag into the hollow of the storage ring. She let go of her hand, and the thin pole of the soul-calling flag was inserted steadily into the storage ring, and the flag moved automatically without wind in the hall.
City Lord Tan stared at the soul-calling banner closely.
"Don't worry. If the city lord's soul is far away from here, we should have to wait for a long time."
"Okay, in that case, Manager Xu, why don't you stay in the City Lord's Mansion first?"
"That's fine."
Xu Qiuqian was arranged to stay nearby so that she could rush over in time if anything happened. She sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
After three small cycles, Xia Qin's voice came from outside the room.
"Manager Xu, please come over and take a look at the situation!"
Xu Qiuqian quickly got up and left the room, following Xia Qin to the city lord's bed.
The soul-calling flags rustled as if blown by a strong wind, and the city lord's eyelids trembled violently, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was pale as if he had encountered something terrible.
"Why would he be like this?" City Lord Tan asked anxiously.
Xu Qiuqian glanced at the soul-calling flag and thought of the description of it he had seen before.
"Don't worry, the soul will probably be called back soon."
Upon hearing this, City Lord Tan and Xia Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qiuqian did not leave. The three of them waited here for about half a day. Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the hall, the night lights suddenly dimmed, and a humming sound filled their ears.
Xia Qin exclaimed from the side.
"City Master Tan, Fellow Daoist Xia Qin?"
Xu Qiuqian shouted and then expanded his spiritual sense, but all he saw was darkness.
No one replied to her. Xu Qiuqian became alert and took out the teleportation scroll, holding it in both hands.
If anything went wrong, she would immediately tear open the teleportation scroll.
At this moment, a roar seemed to come from far away.
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
Is this the voice of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast? !
The sound of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast came closer and closer, and its roar seemed to become duller and sharper until it pierced her eardrums and she completely lost her voice. She could no longer hear anything around her.
It was pitch black in front of her, but she felt inexplicably attracted to it, which made her feel very curious and want to follow it.
Xu Qiuqian didn't care about anything else and entered the Void Mall with just one thought.
She panted and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
What's going on?
Why did she hear the voice of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast, and what was that dark space? It took a while for Xu Qiuqian to recover.
All this happened in just a moment. When leaving the Void Mall, the night lights came on, the darkness was gone, the strong wind disappeared, the light returned in front of my eyes, and the soul-calling flag fell down.
She saw that Xia Qin had fainted, but City Lord Tan was fine, just gasping for breath.
Xu Qiuqian quickly asked her: "Did you see or hear anything just now?"
"Just now... I heard a roar of an animal, coming from far away and getting closer. Then, I seemed to be sucked into a certain space, and my consciousness and soul were attracted. If it hadn't been so short, I almost, almost..."
"You almost lost your consciousness and soul there, right?"
City Lord Tan nodded.
I think this is what the city lord encountered at that time.
It was pitch black, as if entering another dimension. It was so terrifying, and there was no way to resist.
Where exactly is that place? Why is there the sound of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast there? Xu Qiuqian frowned tightly.
At this time, a hoarse male voice came from my ear.
