Chapter 258 What is the purpose?
He thought to himself, "Since Jing thinks he can trap me, I might as well take advantage of his trick and see what he really wants to do."
At the same time, Jing stood in the distance with a smug smile on his face.
Zhong Hanshang, do you think you can see through me? Unfortunately, you are still too naive.
Once I master the core power of the Soul Devouring Orb, none of you will be able to escape from my palm.
The two of them had their own thoughts and were on guard against each other, but they were also plotting in secret.
In another place of the Soul Devouring Pearl, Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun walked side by side, spiritual power flowing around their bodies, dispelling some of the darkness.
But apart from the dead silence and darkness, there was no trace of a ghost.
Gao Huohuo slowed down his flight speed, frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of doubts:
"Fellow Daoist Su, if the ghost is only as capable as before, then this Soul Devouring Orb is no more than that!"
I thought it would be a grand scene of "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", but this is the result?
It's not even a 'horror movie', at most it's a 'horror movie trailer'.
Su Ruoyun nodded slightly and replied solemnly:
“Indeed.
Although I have never seen the Soul-Devouring Orb in person before, its reputation among the demon clan is legendary. Logically, it shouldn't be so simple.
Furthermore, those ghosts just now seemed more like they were testing our strength than attacking us."
Hearing this, Gao Huohuo fell into deep thought, and the previous battle scene quickly recalled in his mind.
She slapped her forehead and said, "That's right! Those remaining ghosts in the distance are retreating faster than me. It's like they're rushing to reincarnate!"
Moreover, the demon cultivator from Lianxu was targeting her at first, but after he captured her, there was no further news.
This plot is too watery, isn't it? There's not even the awareness of a villain boss!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she muttered to herself, "What's even stranger is that my system didn't even pop up a new name, which means that the demon cultivator didn't even want to kill me.
Could it be that he wants to take me as a 'hostage'? But I haven't heard of the concept of 'hostages' in the world of immortal cultivation.
Gao Huohuo continued to dig deeper into his memory, recalling that earlier, the five demon cultivators did not seem to have any killing intentions at first.
She slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! Those five demon cultivators were quite 'polite' at first, but as soon as I cursed them, they got angry.
Isn't this a bad temper? Did I scold him too harshly?
She thought to herself that no one should know that her contract had broken the evil.
But what exactly do these evil cultivators want to do by trying every possible means to capture me?
This question weighed on her heart like a heavy stone.
She vaguely felt that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy behind this.
"Friend Su, who among the three of you was the first to grab me?"
Gao Huohuo's voice broke the silence between the two, abrupt and somewhat anxious.
Su Ruoyun was originally immersed in thinking about the ghost, but Gao Huohuo's question brought her back to her senses and she couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
However, she answered truthfully:
"Jing was the first one. He seemed to care about you very much. Every time you were in danger, he was the first one to stand in front of you."
"Jing?" Gao Huohuo muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
She thought to herself: Jing is just a demon cultivator at the Jindan stage. According to common sense, he should be more cautious in this dangerous environment.
But why is he so bold, standing in front of me without hesitation again and again?
Could it be that he has a crush on my Sixth Senior Sister? Or does he want something from me?
When Gao Huohuo thought that Zhong Hanshang was with Jing at the moment, he suddenly felt worried.
She couldn't help but complain in her heart: Zhong Hanshang is a blockhead, he must not be fooled by Jing!
Although he is usually cold, he is still one of her friends. If Jing betrays her, wouldn't she lose a teammate?
She also thought of the subtle changes in Zhong Hanshang's attitude before and after, and vaguely guessed that he might know some unknown inside story.
It’s a pity that all means of communication are blocked inside this Soul Devouring Pearl.
She had no way of getting in touch with Zhong Hanshang, otherwise she would have definitely asked him about his current situation.
Gao Huohuo sighed and spread his hands helplessly.
Alas, these days, there is not even a "Xiuxian World WiFi", which is really frustrating.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, what do you see in front of you?" Su Ruoyun's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Gao Huohuo's thoughts.
Gao Huohuo was immersed in his own thoughts and was startled by these sudden words.
She suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction Su Ruoyun pointed.
Not far ahead, a huge pool suddenly appeared.
"Friend Su, do you think this is where the Soul Devouring Pearl controls the ghosts?"
Gao Huohuo asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the pool.
A thick black fog filled the air above the pool, completely obscuring the interior of the pool, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Su Ruoyun frowned slightly, thought for a moment and nodded:
"Fellow Daoist Gao is absolutely right. Anything that can appear in this strange place must not be good. We need to be careful."
The two looked at each other, and a sense of vigilance arose in their hearts.
Gao Huohuo took a deep breath and slowly approached the pool, trying to see what was inside through the black fog.
However, the black fog seemed to have life. It became thicker as she approached, and even had a tendency to wrap around her.
"Be careful!" Su Ruoyun shouted softly, quickly grabbed Gao Huohuo's arm and pulled her back a few steps.
Gao Huohuo's heart trembled, and he realized that his previous action was a bit rash.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su." Gao Huohuo calmed himself down and looked at Su Ruoyun with gratitude.
Su Ruoyun shook her head, her expression solemn:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, we can't stay here for long. We need to find an exit as soon as possible and leave this Soul Devouring Pearl."
Gao Huohuo nodded in agreement, but there was still a trace of reluctance in his heart.
She always felt that there were some important clues hidden in the pool, perhaps related to Jing's abnormal behavior.
However, the current situation is unclear and rash actions will only increase risks.
Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, a low humming sound suddenly came from the pool.
The sound seemed to come from deep underground, carrying a breathtaking power.
Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun stopped at the same time and looked at the pool vigilantly.
"It seems that we have been discovered." Su Ruoyun said in a low voice, quietly grasping the magic weapon in her hand.
Gao Huohuo's heart tightened and he was about to respond, but he saw the black mist in the pool suddenly surge violently, as if something was about to break through the mist.
She subconsciously took a step back, her eyes fixed on the swirling black fog.
"Get ready for battle!" Su Ruoyun shouted softly, and spiritual power surged around her body. It was obvious that she was ready to fight.
Gao Huohuo did not dare to delay and quickly mobilized the spiritual power in his body to prepare for the impending crisis.
However, just as the two were on full alert, the surging black fog suddenly stopped, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Then, a deep and hoarse voice came from the pool: "Intruder, why are you here?"
This voice seemed to carry endless vicissitudes and majesty, striking people's hearts directly.
