Feng Ce wanted to take Wen Qi on the journey as usual, but was unexpectedly rejected.

Wen Qi stretched his arms and said, "I've slept for too long. I want to move around. Do you want to compete in speed?"

Feng Ce raised his eyebrows, "How do we compare?"

Wen Qi said: "Let's go separately and see who reaches the destination first."

Feng Ce did not agree immediately. A businessman never does work for nothing. He asked, "Where's the bet?"

Wen Qi hadn't thought it through yet, so he asked, "What do you want to bet on?"

Feng Ce said: "I will pardon you once. If I do something you don't like later, you are not allowed to be angry."

Wen Qi frowned, "Am I usually prone to anger? Or have you already planned what to do? Are you giving me a heads-up in advance?"

Feng Ce did not answer, but only asked: "Do you want to gamble?"

Wen Qi was not afraid. She snorted and said, "Then I want the same bet!"

Feng Ce nodded and said, "Okay." He paused and said worriedly, "You won't get lost, will you?"

Wen Qi rolled her eyes and said, "Who are you looking down on? Let's get started!" After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.

Feng Ce was slightly surprised and followed him.

Wen Qi's speed was already very fast at the beginning, completely beyond the limit of what humans can achieve. Feng Ce was a little surprised at first glance, but it was also within the acceptable range.

Because of the strong soul power, the body will be transformed imperceptibly, and over time it will become a superhuman existence. And Wen Qi's soul power is well known to be unfathomable.

But then, Wen Qi's speed more than doubled in a very short period of time. This speed was no less than the speed Feng Ce had shown before. The whole person completely turned into an afterimage, and his appearance could no longer be seen by the naked eye.

Feng Ce was really surprised this time.

Afterwards, Wen Qi's speed continued to increase, and finally it reached a level that could not be captured by the naked eye before it began to stabilize.

Feng Ce's brows furrowed. He was now certain that Wen Qi's body was definitely not the body of the ordinary person [Wen Qi] before, and she was not possessed by a spirit. Her current body must be 100% compatible with her spirit, otherwise she would never be able to reach this speed.

As Feng Ce speeded up to catch up, he recalled the night when Wen Qi appeared. But his memory was very vague, he only remembered the room full of hungry ghosts and Wen Qi who was forced into a corner.

Was Wen Qi scared to death at that time? And then, when did Wen Qi appear later?

Feng Ce frowned and recalled, but there was indeed no replacement process in his memory. It seemed that the previous second was still the same [Wen Qi], and the next second it became the [Wen Qi] he was familiar with, and the process in between seemed to be erased.

Was it memory erasure? No, Feng Ce shook his head in his heart. There was no sign of his memory being tampered with.

Then there is only one possibility left. When Wen Qi arrived, the whole world, or the whole time was paused, and time did not start again until the replacement was completed.

Thinking of this, Feng Ce was shocked even more. The only one who could do this was the master of the world like him. But even he could only control the flow of time in the underworld and was powerless in the world of the living.

So, who sent Wen Qi here? Since he had the ability to send her to another world, why didn't he send her home? Why did he replace the original [Wen Qi]? Feng Ce thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up. There was too little information, and he couldn't guess anything now. But now it was a good start, at least Wen Qi was consciously releasing information to him.

As long as he is patient, he will definitely understand her completely one day in the future.

They still have that much time.

This competition was indeed a spur-of-the-moment idea, but it was also a signal from Wen Qi to Feng Ce, a signal that she was about to give all her trust in him.

She would tell him everything about her origins, identity, and experiences, bit by bit.

The competition lasted until about eight o'clock in the evening. As for the result... Feng Ce still had a slight advantage.

Wen Qi was a little unconvinced. He was just one step away from winning, but he could only accept defeat. "If you win, I'll give you one more chance."

Feng Ce smiled and said, "Thank you, wife."

The two of them talked and walked carefully into the valley. Wen Qi looked around and asked curiously, "Didn't they say that many people have come here? Why is it so quiet?"

Feng Ce looked towards the center of the valley, "The formation is still there."

Wen Qi immediately had a bad premonition, "Could anything have happened? The people from the Southern Xinjiang Tianshi Association wouldn't be like this..." She wanted to say it was useless, but since they were fighting at the front, it really didn't feel good to say that.

But the facts are in front of us, where have all the people gone? As his soul power spread out, Wen Qi was suddenly stunned, "They...may not have arrived yet."

Feng Ce obviously hadn't thought about this, and was startled when he heard this, but then he thought about it and it was really possible. Although they were a few hours late, their speed was definitely several times faster than other heavenly masters, so it was not surprising that they were ahead of them.

Wen Qi suddenly laughed, "Oh, I wanted to be the last one to appear and be the hero who turned the tide, but unfortunately I don't have the chance anymore."

Wen Qi pondered and said, "Why not build a forbidden air barrier first? We must not let Xu Ye escape again this time!"

They did it right away. They didn't want to get too close to the center of the valley, fearing that they might alert the enemy. After some discussion, they decided to include the entire valley within the barrier. The project was a bit large, and it might take some time for one person to do it. They finally decided to do it at the same time and finally merge the barriers together.

Wen Qi and Feng Ce first discussed the method of constructing the barrier and the final fusion method, and the process was finalized in just ten minutes.

"It's time to test our tacit understanding!" Wen Qi commanded: "You go to the other side, I'm tired from running just now."

Feng Ce nodded, and before leaving, he asked, "What if we don't have enough tacit understanding and fail?"

Wen Qi looked at him strangely, "What else can I do? Let's try again."

Feng Ce shook his head and laughed. He thought the consequences would be very serious, but he was overthinking.

When Feng Ce reached the other end of the valley, the two of them released their soul power almost at the same time, covering the entire valley. At the same time, they clasped their hands slightly in front of their chests and moved quickly.

As the hand gestures changed, the soul power slowly rose and turned into a transparent barrier.

In the hidden formation in the center of the valley, Xuye looked up with a look of suspicion. Just now, his heart skipped a beat and he had a very bad premonition.

The next second, the fighting in the formation ended, and the ghost who was enjoying the fruits of victory suddenly had his eyes bulged out, and his whole body swelled up like a balloon, and exploded into a ball of evil and gloomy ghost energy with a "bang".

Xuye was not surprised to see this, "Sure enough, the forty-nine is the bottleneck."

He had tried it many times, and could only devour forty-nine souls at most. If he swallowed one more, his body would explode and dissipate. In conclusion, it was because he had not absorbed and integrated the soul power thoroughly enough, and there were too many mixed soul powers. When the balance was broken, it would explode.

Therefore, he had conducted another experiment before, and it was not accurate to say that the other one was wrong. In fact, he just slowed down the speed of the experiment to give the soul enough time to digest and absorb.

Right now, the experiment was only halfway done, because the interval between each feeding of the soul was very long, and he had not paid attention to the changes in the ghost for a long time.

Today, based on the very strong ominous premonition just now, Xuye suddenly wanted to open the jar and take a look. But after staring at the jar for a while, he suddenly turned around and left the cave, calling Chen Yu over.

After Chen Yu came in, he looked around and asked, "What new progress have you made?"

Xuye walked to the half-man-high jar and whispered, "I adjusted the experimental plan earlier. Today I want to see the interim results. I specially invite you to come and witness it." After a pause, he added, "This is my first time seeing it too. I hope it will be successful."

Chen Yu became curious and took a few steps forward and asked, "Can we just open it directly? No need for any ceremony?"

Xuye hesitated for a moment, "If you are worried, you can set up a defensive formation or barrier first."

Chen Yu was stunned, "Will it get out of control?"

Xuye shook his head and told the truth: "I don't know. This is my first time driving one too."

Chen Yu put a talisman on himself without hesitation, and also put one on Xu Ye.

Xuye's mouth twitched and he nodded politely, "Thank you."

After saying this, he raised his hand and peeled off the three pieces of talisman paper on the jar. After peeling them all off, he took a cautious step back and stared at the jar vigilantly for a few seconds.

Chen Yu asked doubtfully, "Don't we need to open the lid? Will the ghost inside come out by itself?"

After a few seconds, Xuye stepped forward again, raised his hand and tapped the jar lightly, and the lid popped up. Xuye retreated cautiously again, even using his soul power to make a defensive move.

Chen Yu was a little speechless. It was just a semi-finished product. Why should he be so careful? He even started to get nervous.

As a result, the jar was quiet and there was no breath at all.

After waiting for a while, Chen Yu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't he already dead?"

Xuye frowned. Was his premonition wrong? He took a step forward, wrapped his soul power around his whole body, and when he looked inside, he was stunned.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this, and walked forward to take a look, his eyes also widened.

There was no ghost in the jar as imagined, but a child in white curled up! He looked about six or seven years old, sleeping soundly with his head tilted on the jar, looking like an ordinary human child! But there was no human or ghost smell on him, as if he didn't belong to this world.

Xuye's eyes suddenly turned red as he watched, "I succeeded!"

Chen Yu didn't want to discourage him, but he had to remind him, "Wake him up first and see his IQ and strength."

As soon as the voice fell, the child in the jar trembled her eyelashes, slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of dark pupils. Her eyes passed from Chen Yu's face to Xuye. Two seconds later, she suddenly smiled and called out in a crisp voice: "Dad!"

In an instant, Xuye was so excited that he was going crazy!
