Chapter 256: Being Absorbed into the Soul Devouring Pearl
In an instant, a purple shadow jumped out, accurately hooked Jing, and threw him aside.
Gao Huohuo was already unable to dodge, and Hao was still nearby. If he dodged, there was no guarantee that he would not be affected.
She turned around quickly, pretending to mobilize her spiritual power, as if she was going to take the fatal blow with her bare hands.
At this critical moment, two swords shot out like meteors chasing the moon, blocking Gao Huohuo steadily.
One was Chu Lingchuan's sword, the blade flashing with cold light, revealing a sharp sword aura;
The other one was actually the Jinghong Sword!
Gao Huohuo subconsciously turned his head and saw a man flying on a sword approaching from afar.
It was Zhong Hanshang, his figure looked particularly cold and stern in the sunlight.
"Junior Sister/Junior Sister Gao, are you okay?"
The two voices sounded almost at the same time, with unconcealable anxiety.
Gao Huohuo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly:
"Big Brother, Fellow Daoist Zhong, I'm fine."
As soon as she finished speaking, she held the cold sword in her hand and swung it fiercely in the direction where the magic power was coming from.
With a loud bang, powerful forces collided with each other.
A figure flew out backwards like a kite with a broken string. It turned out to be a demon cultivator at the Void Refining stage.
Gao Huohuo looked at the demon cultivator, frowning slightly, thinking to himself:
Although there is only one person, this matter is definitely not that simple. I wonder if he is in the same group as those five demon cultivators just now?
After a moment's thought, she shouted loudly to the Refining Void Demon Cultivator in mid-air:
"Your accomplices are already in our hands. If you know what's good for you, I can leave their bodies intact."
The demon cultivator seemed to have not heard anything and not only did he not respond, but he gathered his magic power again and launched an attack towards Gao Huohuo.
Gao Huohuo dodged cleverly with a flash of his body.
Seeing this, the demon cultivator quickly took out something and threw it at Gao Huohuo while she was dodging.
Gao Huohuo was about to dodge again, but was horrified to find that he was locked by an invisible force and could not move.
She was extremely anxious and subconsciously punched out with one hand, trying to break free from the restraints.
But as soon as his hand touched the flying object, it was sucked in by a powerful suction force.
Just as Gao Huohuo was sucked in, she felt someone pulling her feet.
Then, a force pulled her and the person holding her in.
She thought she was the only one trapped, but when she entered, she found that there were three people following her - Jing, Zhong Hanshang and Su Ruoyun.
Gao Huohuo was full of doubts and couldn't help asking:
"Why did you all follow me in? It would have been enough to trap me alone, but now all four of us are trapped.
I don't know what's going on outside. Are my senior brothers and the others in danger?"
The three of them looked at each other, and then said in unison: "We're worried about you."
Gao Huohuo was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was filled with ripples: I'm not at the point where I need everyone to worry about me like this, right?
But considering that this was their sincere heart, I didn't say anything more.
"Speaking of which, what is this thing? It can actually suck people in. It's so empty inside, is there nothing in there?"
Gao Huohuo looked around and asked with a serious expression.
Hearing Gao Huohuo's question, Su Ruoyun's face darkened and she said solemnly:
"This is a soul-devouring bead unique to the demon race. If you stay inside it for a long time, your soul will be sucked away.
The stronger and more numerous the souls sucked away are, the more powerful the Soul-Devouring Orb will be.
I heard that this thing is a magical weapon that only the Demon Lord has the power to possess. I wonder which Demon Lord's subordinate this is?"
When Jing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Su Ruoyun in surprise. He didn't expect that she actually recognized this thing.
He originally thought that only he and Gao Huohuo came in, so he could use the power of the Soul-Devouring Pearl to take the opportunity to control Gao Huohuo and recover from his injuries.
Now that two more people have come in, it seems that the plan needs to be reconsidered.
Thinking of this, Jing looked at Gao Huohuo and said:
"Miss Huo Huo, last time Zhong Hanshang left in anger due to a misunderstanding, how about we go together this time?"
It would have been fine if Jing hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Gao Huohuo remembered that it was because of his words that Zhong Hanshang misunderstood and left.
Moreover, ever since Zhong Hanshang came back, the two of them haven't had a good conversation.
Gao Huohuo still hasn't figured out why he was angry.
Now that the situation is unclear, she is afraid that the two will argue again.
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo turned to Zhong Hanshang and said:
“Fellow Daoist Zhong, the misunderstanding between you two has not been resolved yet, and the situation is unclear now.
I'll go with Jing, and you and Fellow Daoist Su, how about that?"
Zhong Hanshang knew in his heart that he must not show any hostility towards Jing at this moment, otherwise it would play into his hands.
He took a deep breath, his voice soft but firm, each word seemed to be carefully considered:
"Senior Sister Gao, I misunderstood him before. I apologize to him here."
After saying that, Zhong Hanshang bowed sincerely towards Jing.
Then, he continued, "But the situation here is unclear. You two are both in the Golden Core stage, and Fellow Daoist Su and I are worried.
It's better for Su Daoyou and I to take one each. Jing, do you mind joining me?"
Jing originally thought that Zhong Hanshang would choose Gao Huohuo, but when he heard this, he was a little overwhelmed.
After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly smiled warmly and nodded to indicate that it was okay.
Su Ruoyun stood aside, watching all this, secretly surprised:
Zhong Hanshang really endured humiliation for Gao Huohuo!
Not only did he apologize to Jing, but he also chose him as his partner. He really can let go.
After some discussion, the four decided to split into two groups.
They explored this mysterious space separately, hoping to find a way out as soon as possible.
When preparing to leave, Zhong Hanshang deliberately pulled Gao Huohuo aside, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her.
"Senior Sister Gao, this place is very strange. Take this with you."
Zhong Hanshang looked concerned, his eyes full of worry.
Gao Huohuo was still thinking: Zhong Hanshang gave Su Ruoyun something in front of her. Isn’t he afraid that Su Ruoyun will think too much?
The next moment, he saw the message Zhong Hanshang sent on his magical power, "Junior Sister Gao, your soul has been injured while dealing with the human race's evil spirits, so you should take the jade pendant."
If he said otherwise, Gao Huohuo might not accept it, so Zhong Hanshang could only hide his feelings behind the greater good.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, thank you. I'll take it first. See you later. Be careful."
After Gao Huohuo took the jade pendant, he was thinking about how to explain it to Su Ruoyun later.
When Zhong Hanshang saw Gao Huohuo accept his jade pendant, a barely perceptible joy flashed in his eyes.
However, when he turned around and returned, his face had returned to its usual calmness.
His expression was calm, and no emotion could be detected.
The four people were divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right.
At first, everyone thought it was just a bead. No matter how big the space was, it would end after a few steps.
But Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun hurried along the way for a full quarter of an hour, but there was still nothing around them.
"Friend Su, how about we fly forward on our swords? Maybe that way we can find the clues faster?"
Gao Huohuo looked into the distance, frowned slightly, and made a suggestion.
Su Ruoyun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's exactly what should be done."
After saying that, the two of them lightly tapped their toes, leaped onto the magic sword, and sped away into the distance.
