Upon hearing this, the group rushed forward, carving a bloody path for Ji Jiuying. Ji Jiuying gathered spiritual power in her hand and fiercely struck at Lan Xi, but Lan Xi was no pushover either, gathering powerful spiritual power to confront Ji Jiuying head-on.
Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes; these powers were not something Lan Xi could possess!
"Li Moning!"
The person before her stared at Ji Jiuying again, and after a long while, spoke, but it wasn't Lan Xi's voice: "Who are you!"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I not only know you, but also your brother Li Mobai." Ji Jiuying's clear eyes stared at her, and then, without her realizing it, her eyes turned crimson.
"elder brother······"
Li Moning met those crimson eyes, and her own eyes instantly became empty. Ji Jiuying continued to control her, slowly saying, "Let all these ghosts go back."
"good--"
A soul banner-like object appeared in Li Moning's hand. With a gentle wave, all the ghosts returned to the skeleton.
When Ji Jiuying's gaze fell on the soul banner in her hand, her heart sank. It was indeed Kamakura's doing. If she guessed correctly, Lan Xi's presence here was definitely related to him.
Why are you in the pyramid?
Li Moning frowned, as if recalling something, and murmured to herself, "Why am I here? Why am I here..."
"I remember now, someone said that if I could enter this tower, they could help me get rid of the Xuan Yin Body..."
"If I can get rid of this Yin Body, I can be like a normal person. My brother won't have to live in this desolate place because of me anymore, and he won't be bullied anymore..."
The group narrowed their eyes, pondering Li Moning's words. It seemed that the person behind this was quite ambitious.
"Lanxi has an extremely Yin body, and Li Moning has a profound Yin body. The common point between them is that their Yin energy is extremely heavy. If the two were to combine, they would become the legendary body of annihilation. However, Li Moning's physical body is still outside, so the person behind it chose to let Li Moning enter Lanxi's body. The combination of their souls will generate a devouring power, and those ghosts are one of them."
After listening to Si Yu's words, Ji Jiuying fell into deep thought. She remembered what Li Mobai had said: Li Moning had entered the pyramid a few steps and then retreated, losing her soul. Kamakura must have taken her soul at that time. As for why she wasn't allowed to enter in her physical body, it was probably because the white tiger egg in her mind protected her.
Kamakura must have known they would come looking for her, so she made preparations in advance. But she probably didn't expect that she knew Li Mobai before she came and also knew about Li Moning's situation beforehand.
"So the method that person gave you was to forcibly enter someone else's body?"
Li Moning shook her head: "No, that person said she was already dead, and this was just a shell. I just entered this body. Once I'm completely integrated with it, I'll be able to leave this place."
"Then why did you kill the spiritual cultivators who came in here?"
"Because they deserve to die. They were too greedy and wanted to kill their benefactor."
The group exchanged glances. It was no surprise that the benefactor Li Moning had mentioned was Kamakura. To achieve her own goals, she would stop at nothing and exploit others' weaknesses to entangle them.
Ji Jiuying's originally crimson eyes instantly returned to their original state, and Li Moning was no longer under her control.
"you!"
"Li Moning, you've been deceived! The soul in this body is still there. The person who deceived you is just using you to refine her and replace her. Once you replace her, you will become a puppet without your own consciousness, only capable of killing."
Li Moning stared at Ji Jiuying in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible..."
“Your physical body is still outside. Because you lost a soul, you are now a complete idiot. And if your brother hadn’t met me, he would probably have died under the blades of those villains long ago.”
Li Moning shook her head in disbelief. She knew nothing about her brother's condition, let alone what he had gone through. He had suffered so much for her all these years, and now he had almost lost his life for her…
But that person clearly said that the body outside was no longer useful, and that once she got out, she could live with her brother like a normal person.
Whom should she believe...?
"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you!"
Li Moning hesitated for a moment, then looked into the girl's clear eyes and had a strange feeling of believing her. She nodded and asked, "How can you prove it?"
"I'm going to take you out of this body in a bit, don't resist."
"good."
Ji Jiuying used her soul technique, and strands of soul power enveloped Lan Xi's body. Then, little by little, she stripped Li Moning's soul from Lan Xi's body. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Moning's soul was completely stripped away, and Lan Xi fell into a deep sleep.
The group watched Ji Jiuying cast her spell with serious expressions. Xiao Yichen and Si Yu had just learned that she had cultivated soul techniques, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes. Moreover, judging from her actions, the soul techniques she cultivated should be the correct ones, rather than those evil and crooked methods.
Ye Qingchen's gaze was fixed on her, his eyes filled with endless love.
To prevent any accidents, Ji Jiuying fixed Li Moning's soul in mid-air and went forward to treat Lan Xi. The reason she was sure that Lan Xi's soul was still in her body was because of the soul technique she had cultivated.
Ji Jiuying used her mind to break off a branch of the Soul Nourishing Tree in the space, and used her spiritual power to transfer it into Lan Xi's body. Then she bit her finger and quickly formed hand seals: "Blood as the guide, veins as the boundary, the gate of the underworld opens, the soul returns to its place!"
More and more soul power entered Lanxi's body. Ji Jiuying's forehead was covered in cold sweat, her chest heaved more, and her breathing became rapid.
Ji Jiuying's fingers trembled slightly as she tried to maintain control over her soul power. As time went by, she felt her mental and soul power being gradually depleted. Her face turned pale, and her lips began to lose their color. She gritted her teeth, concentrated her mind, and more and more soul power entered Lanxi's body.
"Little Phoenix, Xuanwu!"
Xiao Huang'er instantly entered Ji Jiuying's spiritual sea of consciousness, and Xuanwu in the space also flashed into Ji Jiuying's spiritual sea of consciousness. The two sat cross-legged and transferred their soul power to Ji Jiuying.
Hei Xiangling frowned. Should she also exchange soul contracts with the girl?
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ji Jiuying withdrew her soul power. Due to excessive consumption, she felt weak all over, and she and Lan Xi fell from mid-air. Hei Xiangling and Qingling flew over and caught them.
