Chapter 262: Being Plotted

I squatted in front of the millstone, squinting my eyes and carefully looking at the soul-guiding lamp.

I saw that the candle flame in the soul-guiding lamp was jumping, and as the candle flame jumped, a stream of cold air would diffuse from the wick from time to time. Even I felt a stinging pain on my skin and couldn't help but shudder.

"The flame on the wick should be condensed from the soul. No wonder the fire is cold, and no wonder these ghosts are attracted to the soul-guiding lamp."

It is said that a thousand-year-old ghost king is sealed in the wick of the soul-guiding lamp, and the flame burning in the wick is the result of the soul of the thousand-year-old ghost king being ignited. That is why the powerful ghosts from all directions are attracted to the soul-guiding lamp.

Hu Zi's soul was still flying around the soul-guiding lamp, looking very anxious to get into the soul-guiding lamp. Seeing this, I didn't delay any longer. I took a deep breath, then made a seal with my hands and chanted the soul-guiding spell again.

However, when the soul-guiding spell was finished, Hu Zi just shuddered, turned his head and looked at me blankly, and then didn't react. He continued to fly around the soul-guiding lamp.

"Hu Zi's soul is too close to the soul-guiding lamp. With my Taoism, it is impossible to fight against the soul-guiding lamp with the soul-guiding spell. In this case..."

I looked around and saw that the soul-guiding old man still didn't show up, so I took a deep breath, then stretched out my hand and grabbed the soul-guiding lamp directly.

When my hand approached the soul-guiding lamp, the wronged souls were immediately frightened and flew everywhere, making piercing howls while flying. Only Hu Zi was still stunned and looked at me with a dull face. My hand was

getting closer and closer to the soul-guiding lamp.

Finally, there was a "snap" sound, and I grabbed the lamp pole of the soul-guiding lamp.

"I got it so easily?" I was stunned.

You know, this is the precious soul-guiding lamp. I thought that I would have to go through at least some trouble to get it, but who would have thought that it would be so easy?

It felt like this soul-guiding lamp...was just waiting for me to take it away.

But the next moment, my body suddenly shook, and then I widened my eyes with a look of horror.

I saw a flame suddenly jump out of the wick. It seemed to have life. It rushed towards me along the lamp pole with a whoosh. It was so fast that I didn't react at all. By the time I reacted, the flame had spread along my palm and onto my arm.

"What's going on...ah!"

I screamed, and then almost subconsciously let go of the lamp pole, stood up and backed away quickly.

I slapped the flame on my arm while backing away, but the flame was like a maggot attached to my bones, and I couldn't get rid of it at all.

The most bizarre thing is that the flame is cold. Although it is burning fiercely on my arm, I don't feel any pain, and my arm is not burned at all. Instead, my soul is trembling. It feels as if the flame is burning my soul, making my three souls and seven spirits jump, as if they will be forcibly lured out at any time. As

the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Just as I was trying to endure the severe pain in my soul and desperately slap the flames on my arm, the group of wronged souls that were originally flying up and down around the soul-guiding lamp actually all looked straight at me, and then, they all screamed and rushed towards me.

Oh my god!

At that moment, I was shocked and angry, and I immediately gritted my teeth and yelled, "Fuck it, get out of here!"

As my words fell, invisible Qi immediately spread out from my body. As the Qi began to spread out, it formed a protective shield on the surface of my body, pushing away all the wronged souls in an extremely domineering manner. Then, I heard a "hum" sound, and I made a loud shout while pinching the seal with my hands, and the Qi exploded violently like a bomb, making a muffled "boom" sound.

In an instant, the powerful Qi field suddenly exploded, and all the wronged souls and fierce ghosts that rushed towards me were blown away. Some of the wronged souls with low Taoism were directly blown to pieces. Even the fierce ghosts with higher Taoism had their souls flicker and become a little fainter, as if they would be blown to pieces at any time.

But I gritted my teeth and screamed, and then I felt my legs go soft and fell to the ground.

The flame had already spread along my arm to half of my body, but the flame could not burn me at all, but it froze my soul and made it tremble.

Moreover, the world in my eyes began to spin at this moment, and an invisible pulling force was pulling at my three souls and seven spirits, as if to pull them out.

"Damn, could it be that this soul-guiding old man was coming for me from the beginning?"

At this moment, although I was enduring severe pain, some doubts were instantly figured out.

I was still wondering why the soul-guiding old man would place such a treasure as the soul-guiding lamp here. Now it seems that all this seems to be the calculation of the soul-guiding old man.

And Wang Wen used Wang Qian to make an appointment with Hu Zi, and Wang Wen lured Hu Zi's soul, but in fact, it was just one of the links in the soul-guiding old man's calculation against me!

"But why did the soul-guiding old man plot against me? Could it be... to refine a substitute for the evil celestial being? And I am his target?"

With this thought, I gritted my teeth and endured the severe pain from my soul, and said viciously to the darkness around me: "You plotted against me like this, aren't you afraid that my master will come after you later? Aren't you afraid of Pao Zhen's knife?"

There was still no response, and the soul-guiding old man seemed to be really not here. Not only did he not show up, he didn't even say a word.

"As one of the top ten masters in the world, you are so cruel to a junior like me. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the heroes of the world?"

Because of the severe pain, my face was extremely ferocious at this moment, and even my eyes turned red.

"I never thought that one of the top ten masters in the world would become a turtle one day!"

I gritted my teeth and uttered this viciously, then I covered my head and screamed, and fell straight to the ground.

Almost at the moment I fell to the ground, I felt my body lighten, and when I looked down, I found that my soul had left my body and was slowly floating towards the soul-guiding lamp.

"Has my soul left the body? But, since the soul-guiding old man has already succeeded, why hasn't he shown up

yet? Could it be that he doesn't want to use my soul to refine a substitute for the evil celestial phenomenon, but simply... wants to be devoured by the soul-guiding lamp?" In an instant, the fear of losing my soul filled my heart. I felt despair and struggled violently, trying to break free from the gravity from the soul-guiding lamp.

But it was all in vain. The soul-guiding lamp not only gave off a strong pulling force, pulling me towards the soul-guiding lamp, but also gave off a very tempting aura... to me at this moment.

My struggle became weaker and weaker, and my eyes began to become chaotic.

In the end, I only felt that my consciousness was gradually disappearing, and was replaced by a dull face, just like a puppet, floating straight towards the soul-guiding lamp.
