After arriving at Zuixianlou, Ouyang Heshun, Xie Aotian, Mu Qing and their group did not go to the inner courtyard.
Instead, he chose a window seat in the front hall. It was still early, and there were very few mortals at Zuixianlou.
Ouyang Heshun glanced at his expressionless senior brother and resignedly took on the task of explaining the material himself.
They informed Xie Aotian and Mu Qing of their discoveries in the city.
They hadn't arrived much earlier than the others, but they had already explored the entire Lost Soul Town.
In the town of Lost Souls, everyone, whether mortal or cultivator, has experienced a disconnect between their soul and body.
In severe cases, some patients are even bedridden.
If the problem remains unresolved or the cause cannot be found, it could very well lead to someone's death.
As Xie Aotian listened to Ouyang Heshun's story, his gaze drifted to the little gray ball in Xie Lanzhi's arms. The little gray ball was oblivious, sleeping soundly without a care in the world.
Xie Aotian launched an attack, waking up the little gray ball. Seeing the little gray ball's pitiful look, he felt a little better.
"Why should he have to clean up the mess it made, while it sleeps comfortably in its brother's arms, looking completely content?" Xie Aotian thought to himself.
The little gray ball, unaware of who had hit it, looked pitifully at Xie Lanzhi. Xie Lanzhi, puzzled, reached out and patted its round head. The little gray ball instantly perked up after being patted by Xie Lanzhi, its eyes squinting happily.
Xie Aotian: "......"
I feel like the little gray blob looks even more annoying now.
Ouyang Heshun, unaware of Xie Aotian's actions, frowned with worry and asked, "What do we do now?"
"Should we first investigate the cause of the incompatibility between the souls and bodies of cultivators and mortals?"
“I inquired beforehand, and they didn’t encounter anything unusual, nor did they eat anything special.”
"In fact, many people, including cultivators, are unaware that there is anything unusual about them."
"The city lord did notice the anomaly, but he didn't know the specific reason. He just instinctively felt that if things continued like this, the mortals and cultivators in the city would all be in trouble, so he sent a message to the sect leader for help."
"The reason why the city lord discovered the problem is because many mortal children have been unconscious recently."
"As time went on, more and more people came to the city lord's mansion seeking his help, which finally made the city lord realize that something was wrong."
"However, the city lord only has the cultivation of the Golden Core stage, and he has not been able to find out the instigator or the cause behind this problem."
Xie Aotian said calmly, "There's no need to look for the reason."
"We already know the reason; it's a demon soul beast cub from the demon race."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Heshun exclaimed in shock, "The Demon Race?"
Xie Aotian: "Don't panic, it's just a newly weaned demon soul beast cub, a creature with little intelligence. It's already been dealt with."
Ouyang Heshun assumed that Xie Aotian's solution meant the monsters had been killed, so he was relieved. He didn't know that his so-called solution was simply to take the demon soul beast cub from the demon realm and into Xie Lanzhi's arms.
Xie Aotian knew that Ouyang Heshun had misunderstood, but he did not offer any explanation.
He wasn't exactly lying.
After all, the monster cub that caused the mortals and cultivators of Lost Soul Town to lose their souls would no longer come out to summon their souls.
Now that it has Xie Lanzhi to play with, it no longer needs to find other spirits to play with.
"I guess this can be considered resolved."
"As for how it was resolved, what does it matter?"
"As long as the other party doesn't come out again to harm the mortals and cultivators of Lost Soul Town, isn't that enough?" Xie Aotian thought to himself.
Ouyang Heshun said with relief, "That's great. Now the problem is how to solve the issue of the incomplete fusion between the soul and the body."
