But this does not mean that the Soul-Suppressing Pearl is useless.
On the contrary, the Soul-Soothing Pearl is still very important to Sheng Shijing, extremely important!
It was precisely because of the existence of the Soul-Suppressing Pearl that he was able to survive every crisis without any danger, and gain stronger strength with each attack of evil spirits.
"I'm telling you, I'm telling you why this evil spirit outbreak lasted so long, and why it was so hard to suppress. I almost died!"
Duan Chengxian became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sheng Hengzhi, explain it to me clearly. What on earth is the reason that allowed you to take away even the treasure that could save your life?!"
"Where is that thing now?! I'll get it back to you right away!"
Sheng Shijing's calm expression finally showed some movement, but he said, "Didn't you say that your cultivation has been drained, so you can still move?"
Duan Chengxian: “…”
He was really convinced.
He took a deep breath and didn't ask any further questions.
Although Sheng Shijing refused to say it, he could guess it with his toes.
The disappearance of the Soul-Soothing Pearl must be related to Xie Xihe.
After this period of contact, Duan Chengxian also saw clearly the position of that girl in his apprentice's heart - more than anyone else, including himself.
In this world, she is the only one who can make Sheng Shijing disregard his own life.
There is a 99% chance that the Soul-Calming Pearl is on Xie Xihe.
There is no need to think about getting it back, so I should hurry up and recover my ancient martial arts power.
Duan Chengxian sighed in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.
The cave fell into silence again.

After an unknown amount of time in silence, Sheng Shijing suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the direction of the cave entrance.
"Someone is coming." Duan Chengxian noticed the movement almost at the same time as him and said seriously.
"Yeah." Sheng Shijing responded and slowly stood up.
Not only did some people come, but quite a few came.
It seems that the opening of the Abyss has indeed attracted quite a few people this time.
After more than two hours of breathing exercises, the effect of the panacea has almost taken effect. Although Sheng Shijing is still weak inside, judging from the surface, there is no major problem except that his face is a little paler than usual.
As they were talking, the noise outside became louder and louder.
"The level of this restriction is quite high. The people inside are probably very powerful. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to just barge in like this?" A middle-aged man with a short beard said with a frown in the crowd.
Across from him, a young man pondered for a moment, then looked up at the young girl beside the middle-aged man and said in a gentle tone, "What do you think, Sister Yunshang?"
Mu Yunshang glanced in the direction of the cave, but saw only darkness. She frowned slightly and said lightly, "Second Uncle is right."
His brows furrowed even tighter, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong with this restriction, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Just as he was thinking about it, another middle-aged man opposite him showed a look of disapproval and said, "That's true, but are you willing to leave like this?"
He sneered and said, "Anyway, I don't want to."
The others fell silent immediately, especially Mu Yunshang, who couldn't help biting her lips, her eyes full of hesitation.
It has been five days since they entered the polar ice field. Although they have ancient martial arts power, being in a low-temperature environment for a long time has not only increased the consumption of ancient martial arts power, but also caused considerable mental torture.
It is still unknown when the Jiyuan will open. At this time, it is particularly important to find a suitable place to rest and recover strength.
This time, the Mu family and the Xiao family cooperated, and the leaders were the second master of the Mu family, Mu Changhe, the fourth lady of the Mu family, Mu Yunshang, the third master of the Xiao family, Xiao Ganming, and the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Lingfeng.
Among the four, Mu Yunshang was the youngest and her cultivation was relatively weaker. Although everyone took good care of her, she still felt very uncomfortable and urgently needed rest.
This cave is undoubtedly the best choice.
The young man, Xiao Lingfeng, had been keeping an eye on Mu Yunshang and naturally noticed the hesitation in her eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he made a decision: "Let's break it open. No matter who's inside, I'll take responsibility for any consequences."
He turned his head to look at Xiao Ganming beside him and nodded, "Just..."
Sorry to bother you, second uncle.
Before Xiao Lingfeng could finish his words, a voice carrying a heavy pressure came over, snorting coldly: "You are worried, young man. You are young, but you are so arrogant."
"Are you sure you can afford it?"
An invisible ripple passed by, and the restriction in front of them opened up, and a figure appeared in everyone's sight.
The old man was wearing an ordinary blue-gray robe that was covered with wrinkles and even torn in several places. He looked very disheveled.
But he had an extraordinary aura. Just standing there casually made everyone feel as if there was an insurmountable mountain standing in front of them, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
Mr. Duan!
It turned out to be Mr. Duan!
The people from the Xiao and Mu families were all startled. Without hesitation, they took two steps back and bowed deeply to Duan Chengxian, saying, "Greetings, Mr. Duan."
A thin layer of sweat oozed from Xiao Lingfeng's forehead. He said in an extremely respectful voice, "I didn't know Elder Duan was here. I've been reckless."
Duan Chengxian snorted coldly.
Xiao Lingfeng knew that he was not going to pursue the matter any further, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He apologized profusely before standing up. However, when he saw the man next to Duan Chengxian, his face suddenly changed.
Prince Heng!
Why is he here too?!
Xiao Lingfeng subconsciously turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Mu Yunshang looking at the man intently. Her usually cold eyes were now filled with tension, and she even unconsciously put her hands away.
Xiao Lingfeng's eyes darkened and he took great effort to restrain the urge to take action.
But he still couldn't help but glance at Sheng Shijing coldly.
Duan Chengxian took in the reactions of the people opposite him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sighing that his little disciple was still as charming as ever.
In the past, Duan Chengxian might have had some thoughts about it, but now he didn't care at all.
After the people on the other side had reacted, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, my Hengzhi and I will rest here. If there is nothing else, please leave quickly."
The Xiao and Mu families exchanged a glance, and finally Mu Changhe stepped forward and said, "I didn't know Elder Duan was here. We were too presumptuous just now, but I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if Elder Duan could be lenient?"
Duan Chengxian glanced at the other party and refused directly: "No."
He didn't give any reason. With his status and position, he didn't need to explain anything to them. After he finished speaking, he invited Sheng Shijing to walk into the cave.
To be honest, if he wasn't in a bad state right now and was afraid of being discovered and causing more trouble, he wouldn't bother to make this trip.
Although he had to come out now, he would not lower his posture, otherwise it would be obvious to others that his situation was not good.
Duan Chengxian thought that since he had rejected the other party so straightforwardly, the other party should understand the situation. However, he did not expect that as soon as he turned around, he was blocked by a figure that jumped up from behind.
