Chapter 324 Test
Thinking of that dark space and the roar of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast in the space, Xu Qiuqian did not hesitate.
"Okay, let's go over there."
After rushing over with Xia Qin, they were invited into the hall by the city lord.
After half a month of recuperation, the city lord looked much better, but his face was still a little pale.
"Manager Xu, you are here. Please sit down."
Xu Qiuqian sat down.
The city lord has been fully aware of what Xu Qiuqian did and the matter of the teleportation array in the past half month. In addition, it was she who called back his soul, so his attitude was very friendly.
"I called Manager Xu here because he knows more about the mirage beasts. I was wondering if you also know something about that dark space. Manager Xu should also know that some monks died."
"I just heard Xia Qin say that on the way."
The city lord nodded.
"Most of the monks who died died on the spot, and their souls left their bodies. No one noticed it at first, but as more and more people died, people realized the seriousness of the matter. By the time we found out, disciples from several major families had also died."
Xu Qiuqian was puzzled: "Then why not call the members of the major families?"
“Even if we ask them to come, they don’t know the details. And at that time, only Manager Xu, my wife, and my daughter had experienced what happened in that space. So I want to ask Manager Xu what he saw and heard at that time to see if we can find a solution.
Also, I want to ask Manager Xu if he can call those souls back."
If we really can't find it, we can only discuss with the mayor of Youyuan City to temporarily seal that place.
"I don't know either. You can try, but you need something close to your body."
"Don't worry, I know this. Manager Xu, can you tell me what you saw and heard that day?"
"That day, everything around me suddenly got dark, and I saw a pitch-black space. There was no sound in the space, it was very quiet. Just as I was thinking of a way to escape, I heard the roar of a mirage beast. Then I felt as if my consciousness was torn apart, and then everything returned to normal."
She skipped the part about entering the Void Mall.
"Really? But I heard from my wife that Manager Xu seemed to be in better condition than her at the time. Did Manager Xu use some method..."
"No, I don't know why."
The important thing is that she couldn't tell it. Even if she told it, those people wouldn't be able to come in. Only she could enter the Void Mall.
The city lord frowned.
After a long moment, he sighed.
"Then what does Manager Xu think about the roar of the mirage beast that appeared in the dark space?"
Xu Qiuqian thought about it and told his previous guess truthfully.
"Either the mirage beast was also sucked into the dark space, or that place is where the mirage beast exists."
The city lord nodded: "I think so too, but I am more inclined to believe that the mirage beast was sucked in."
Xu Qiuqian's heart moved.
"Why?"
"Manager Xu, think about it, in that place, even we monks would be addicted and lose consciousness, so how could the mirage beast survive? I have been there for more than ten years. For me, time passed quietly and slowly, and I did not hear any sound from the mirage beast, so I think it is impossible for the mirage beast to exist in that place."
Xu Qiuqian was silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Is this really the case?
Why did she feel something was wrong?
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Since our souls were sucked in, why was the mirage beast sucked in with its entire body?"
The city lord was stunned.
Yes, why is it that human cultivators have souls and spirits, while beasts have their entire bodies? "Also, there is a question I have been wanting to ask for a long time. Since the city lord lost a soul and a spirit there, how did he come back completely unharmed, but no one noticed until he fainted a day later? Didn't the city lord notice it at all at the time?"
The soul is not something outside of the body.
That's a soul! How could the city lord not feel or react when he lost his soul? It's so strange.
"Yes, it's possible that I was too focused on using this secret realm to attract more cultivators to Youling City, so I overlooked it."
No, that's not right.
Logically speaking, if one loses one's soul and one's spirit, he will definitely become stupid. How can he act like a normal person?
The city lord is clearly hiding something.
Her face fell.
"City Lord, I hope you understand that your behavior will affect my judgment. If you lie, I will not be able to guess the truth." Not to mention that she knew very little information to begin with, and the city lord deliberately concealed it, so she couldn't know more.
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying?" The city lord's face darkened.
Xu Qiuqian was not afraid at all.
"What do you think?"
The two men confronted each other for a long time, and finally, the city lord clicked his tongue.
He admitted impatiently.
"Yes, because after I informed the major families of the existence of the secret realm, I went there again."
"Why?"
"I wanted to try to open the secret realm by myself, but I didn't expect that my soul and spirit were directly sucked in. Later, my wife came out to find me and took me back."
Xu Qiuqian: "...What is there to hide?"
The city lord coughed.
"If people knew about this, wouldn't they think I was a selfish city lord? That doesn't fit my image in public."
After all, he was thinking about whether he could enter the secret realm first and get some benefits, but he didn't expect to get himself involved.
Xu Qiuqian was helpless.
Why do we still have to care about character setting in the world of cultivating immortals?
But once this doubt is solved, it’s no big deal.
"Then the next question is why the whole body of the mirage beast was sucked in. It's very simple to understand. Just bring a few monster beasts over to test it and you'll know."
The city lord nodded.
"The souls of those monks were sucked in..."
"I'll go with you, and they can just take their personal belongings with them."
"OK."
Then, the two headed to the location.
When Xu Qiuqian went over, she took a look at the location and found that it was indeed very close to the previous secret realm, and it looked no different from the surrounding environment. She couldn't even feel the spatial fluctuations, but could vaguely feel that there was indeed a strange energy field.
She didn't come any closer.
It's too dangerous.
If you are not careful, your soul might be sucked in.
It’s better to stay away from it.
The city lord sent people to capture the monsters, the small ones, and captured more than a dozen of them. After hearing about it, Ying Liangzhi of the Ying family also ordered his disciples to bring a few spirit beasts over.
"Since a few days ago, I and several major families have sent people to guard this place and no one is allowed to get close. It will be dangerous if you go any further."
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
"Let's try throwing those monsters over first."
So the city lord ordered his men to tie up the monster and throw it to the place where some monks had been lying before.
Xu Qiuqian stared closely, waiting for the result.
