On the spaceship
Ouyang Changqing, who had been silently following Xie Lanzhi, suddenly spoke up: "Let's go to Lost Soul Town first."
As he said this, he looked up at Xie Aotian, but Xie Aotian didn't even bother to ask for a reason. He turned to look at Xie Lanzhi and ignored him.
Ouyang Changqing naturally noticed Xie Aotian's dislike for him, but even so, he would not leave Brother Xie. Moreover, out of respect for Brother Xie, he still unilaterally regarded Xie Aotian as a friend.
Seeing that Xie Aotian ignored Ouyang Changqing, Mu Qing asked, "What is Lost Soul Town?"
Ouyang Changqing withdrew his gaze from Xie Aotian and looked at Mu Qing beside him, explaining, "It's just a small town nearby."
At this point, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the demonic soul beast that had transformed into a ball shape.
He paused, then continued, "The humans of Lost Soul Town have been summoned by demonic beasts every night for the past few days, causing their souls to separate from their bodies. If this is not dealt with, it may shorten their lifespan."
Xie Aotian: "That's their own business. What does it have to do with us? As a cultivator, why do you worry so much about the affairs of mortals? Don't you know that cultivators cannot interfere with the life and death of mortals?"
Ouyang Changqing: "But this matter arose because of the Demon Soul Beast..."
Xie Aotian glanced at the demonic soul beast floating next to Tuantuan, his fingers itching to throw it away.
Mu Qing: "Thank you, fellow Daoist. Let's go to Lost Soul Town instead."
Xie Lanzhi turned around, smiled and nodded at Mu Qingyi.
He thought Mu Qing was asking him a question, so of course he had no objection and was fine with going anywhere.
Xie Aotian, who was originally going to refuse, was speechless.
Faced with Xie Lanzhi's gentle eyes, he finally gave in.
He didn't want his elder brother to feel guilty and sad later, when he understood things better, because he hadn't helped the mortals of Lost Soul Town today.
Given his elder brother's nature, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by if he encountered such a situation.
Although Xie Aotian didn't say anything, he still changed the direction of the spaceship and landed at the gate of Lost Soul Town.
The problem was discovered as soon as we landed.
The guards at the city gate clearly had not fully integrated their souls and bodies, giving the impression that their souls might drift away at any moment.
The group didn't say much, gave the spirit stones, and entered the Lost Soul Town.
There were five people in their group, but since Ouyang Changqing and Xie Lanzhi, the two soul guardians, couldn't see them, they only accepted three low-grade spirit stones from them and respectfully invited them inside.
Upon entering the city, they discovered that the problems of the city's inhabitants were more serious than those of the guards. Although the guards had low cultivation levels, they were still at the Qi Refining stage, and having some cultivation was better than ordinary people without any cultivation.
Fire Phoenix couldn't hold back any longer. She cast a protective barrier around them and asked, "Little Soul, what are you doing? How did you manage to torment these mortals with amnesia like this?"
The demonic beast, who had somehow snuggled into Xie Lanzhi's arms, thought for a moment and replied earnestly, "Grandpa said that the Demon King wants us to find a way to come to the human world. Our demonic beast clan can come to the human world through the gap because of Xiao Hun's bloodline reversion and because we have not been tainted by the demonic energy of the demon realm."
"Grandpa sent Little Soul to the human world to cause trouble. Little Soul asked Grandpa what causing trouble meant. Grandpa said it meant finding the souls of cultivators in the cultivation world to come and play with Little Soul."
"After Xiao Hun arrived, he sought out nearby spirits to come and play."
At this point, the Demon Soul Beast twisted its body excitedly and said, "Little Soul doesn't play with them anymore. Little Soul plays with Little White and Little Black. Little Soul likes Little White the most."
The little soul's words contained so much information that Fire Phoenix opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what question to ask first.
