Chapter 116 Soul Devourer
By the time she came to her senses, the words had already slipped out of her mouth.
Like an arrow shot from a bow, there is no possibility of retracting it.
Gao Huohuo's mind raced, and he immediately decided to take advantage of the situation.
All subsequent explanations were attributed to that mysterious record.
"I only know a little bit about what happened in Luoxia City.
It is said that after nightfall, evil spirits will appear in the city.
It wanders around, devouring people's souls, and is extremely dangerous."
In order to pretend that he was hearing such horrifying news for the first time, Gao Huohuo widened his eyes, his face full of shock.
Even his voice unconsciously rose a few notes. "Is this what you mean by the night is not peaceful?"
Su Ruoyun nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Zhong Hanshang.
There was a hint of suggestion in her eyes, as if she was expecting him to add something.
But who would have thought that Zhong Hanshang would look so confused.
He had never heard of the name Luoxia City, and this was the first time he heard it.
You know, as a young genius from the largest sect, Qingyun Sect, it's natural for Zhong Hanshang to be knowledgeable and experienced.
According to common sense, even a place as famous as Luoxia City in the Cangyun Realm should not be unheard of.
Back then, Luoxia City became a deserted city overnight, and this incident caused an uproar in the entire Cangyun Realm.
All the major sects are paying close attention to this, and the Qingyun Sect’s library must contain detailed records.
But he knew nothing about it, which was really strange.
For a moment, the three of them fell silent, each immersed in thought.
Suddenly, Gao Huohuo squatted down and quickly sketched on the ground with his fingers.
Soon, the shape of the withered flowers in Luoxia City came into view.
She looked up at the two of them and asked softly, "Have you ever seen flowers like this?"
Su Ruoyun shook her head gently, but Zhong Hanshang frowned slightly, his eyes lingering on the pattern for a moment.
He said, "This flower is called the Seven Star Flower. It is a rare flower in the Demon Realm. I heard that the Soul Devouring Demons in the Demon Realm love it the most."
"Soul-devouring Demon?" Su Ruoyun raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Didn't they say that all the Soul Devourers have been eradicated?"
"I'm really not very clear about the Soul Devourer. Although it's rumored to have been eradicated, no one knows the truth."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Gao Huohuo felt more and more that he urgently needed to go into a large sect's library and take a closer look.
Look at yourself, you know nothing.
When I go out to gain experience in the future, what if I encounter something from the demon world, the monster world or other mysterious areas?
Wouldn't I be groping in the dark, wandering around blindly?
Gao Huohuo looked at the two of them sincerely, his eyes full of seeking advice.
"Can anyone explain to me what a Soul Devourer is?"
Finally, Zhong Hanshang cleared his throat and spoke to clarify:
"The Soul Devourer is the most terrifying existence in this world. It has the ability to devour the souls of all living beings.
Once a cultivator's soul is devoured, he will turn into a ghost.
Under its control, he only knows how to devour other people's souls crazily.
These monks who turned into ghosts only had this one obsession left in their minds.
It is also extremely difficult to eliminate and very troublesome.”
Zhong Hanshang paused, glanced at the two weapons on Gao Huohuo's body, and then said:
"Legend has it that only a semi-divine artifact of the highest grade can truly slay the Soul Devourer."
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
It’s over, it’s over. It seems that the soul-devouring demon is not dead at all.
Otherwise, how could I have such a coincidence that I got two halves of the artifact at once?
It turned out that he was waiting for her here. At that moment, she could only pray silently that the Soul-Eating Demon would show up later.
Suddenly, Gao Huohuo seemed to have remembered some key question and asked impatiently:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, does the Soul Devouring Demon have any intelligence? Can it think like a human?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang and Su Ruoyun looked at her in surprise.
In their opinion, whether this soul-devouring demon has intelligence or not seems to have little relevance to the focus of the current discussion.
Zhong Hanshang hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "Probably not!"
Gao Huohuo curled his lips, looking annoyed.
I had originally hoped to rely on "plug-ins", but I didn't expect that these "plug-ins" would be of no use at all.
When Zhong Hanshang and Su Ruoyun saw her expression, they couldn't help but doubt themselves.
Isn’t it a good thing that this soul-devouring demon has no intelligence?
If it really has intelligence, then would these monks still have a chance to survive?
At that time, there is no point in fighting. Just surrender to the Soul-Eating Demon as soon as possible. Maybe you can still preserve some strength.
"Where is the Demon Realm? How do we normally get there?"
Gao Huohuo's eyes rolled and he asked another question.
Su Ruoyun widened her eyes and asked in astonishment:
"Huo Huo, why are you going to the demon world?"
Gao Huohuo, however, was serious, straightened his back and said:
"Looking for the Qiankun Stone, and by the way, checking whether the Soul Devourer is dead or not."
Su Ruoyun and Zhong Hanshang looked at each other, both with helplessness in their eyes.
They have become somewhat numb to Gao Huohuo's shocking and imaginative ideas.
What on earth is this girl thinking? Is the demon world such a good place to go?
Not to mention the long and dangerous journey.
The unknown dangers there alone are enough to daunt people.
She was fine, she spoke casually as if she was visiting a neighbor.
"Huohuo, I know you are very talented and powerful, but that Soul Devourer is not so easy to deal with.
Most monks would just run away when they saw him.
How can anyone take the initiative to approach like you?"
After hearing Su Ruoyun's words, Zhong Hanshang also felt it necessary to explain things to her clearly, so as to prevent her from losing her life in vain.
“I know what you’re thinking, but even with divine weapons, the Soul Devourer’s strength is unfathomable.
You must remember not to be impulsive, especially since you are only at the Golden Core stage."
Okay, she understood, and after talking for a long time, she still felt that she was not strong enough.
But she didn't say she would go now, she just asked in advance. These people are worrying too much.
Forget it, let’s change the question!
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, your Qingyun Sect's library should be the largest, right?"
Zhong Hanshang didn't understand what she meant by asking this, but nodded anyway.
"Can I ask you a favor?
I want to know about the customs and culture of the Cangyun Realm.
Could you please make a copy of one of these books from your library and lend it to me?
Don't worry, I have a special spiritual rubbing tool here, it's very fast and won't delay your cultivation time much."
After saying that, Gao Huohuo took out the printer for the cultivation world made by his fourth senior brother from his storage ring.
After demonstrating it to the two of them, he handed it to Zhong Hanshang.
Zhong Hanshang lowered his eyes to look at the object in his hand, frowned slightly, and thought to himself:
It seems that I haven't promised anything yet?
How come this thing has already been handed to him?
Gao Huohuo blinked her bright eyes, a sly smile on her face, and said in a delicate voice:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, look at your character, it is well-known and you are a kind person with a good heart.
I just made such a small request, you will not have the heart to refuse me and let me feel so disappointed, right? "
Su Ruoyun, who was standing by, came forward at the right time, with a teasing smile on her lips, and echoed:
"Huohuo, just put your mind at ease. Who is Fellow Daoist Zhong?
He is an elite from a big sect, and he has always been generous and open-minded in his style of doing things.
It's a piece of cake for me to help you with this little favor."
