Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 932 Two Souls
The man wielding the spear was Lin Erbai. Hearing Chen Yizhi's shout, he thrust forward even faster.

The tip of the spear was only a fist's distance from the fake prince's face. The fake prince slightly shifted his body, dodging what appeared to be a fatal thrust. A contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his lips. "A mere mortal, you think you can kill me!"

Lin Erbai remained silent, relentlessly launching an attack.

Dao Yi originally intended to pin the fake prince down and have Lin Erbai kill him with a single spear thrust, but seeing the Sage, the Prince of Qin, and others in the hall, she decided to grant the fake prince some freedom.

The fake prince, having gained a little freedom, was in a very sorry state and had no time to think things through.

As time went by, he acquired many wounds.

The fake crown prince hurriedly shouted at the emperor, "Father, are you just going to stand by and watch them bully your son?"

The sage looked at the King of Qi lying on the ground, then at the King of Qin covered in wounds, and then at the fake crown prince jumping around. Similar faces, different words and deeds. The sage seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. His voice was full of deep weariness, "Even now, you still refuse to admit that you have harmed my son!"

The fake crown prince is now in a weak position, so he is unwilling to admit it.

"Father, it's just a letter and the words of a few outsiders. How can you believe them and not your son!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Yi and Wang Xuanzhi exchanged a glance. The latter bowed to the Sage and said, "The evidence is all in Wen Yuan's study. Your Majesty only needs to send someone to investigate to find out. As for whether you are true or false, a test will tell!"

Before the fake crown prince could figure out how to test the prince, thunder suddenly roared inside the Guande Hall.

Dao Yi quickly formed hand seals, "Hurry, hurry, slay evil—go!"

A chill ran down the spine of the fake prince. His body moved faster than his mind. He charged head-on into Lin Erbai's gun, trying to dodge the unknown danger behind him.

But even faster than the fake prince was the lightning following the thunder; a purple rune flowing with five-colored light struck his back.

"Ah!" The fake prince cried out in pain, and Lin Erbai simultaneously withdrew his spear.

A shadowy figure, completely different from the real prince's, appeared on the fake prince's body.

Dao Yi tossed out a jade pendant and placed it above the illusory image.

"It really was you who did this!" The fake prince recognized the jade pendant the moment he saw it; it was the same one that Old Master Wei had.

Dao Yi narrowed his eyes. The fake crown prince was indeed the master in name, knowing a lot of things. He could even recognize the jade pendant on the old master of the Wei family. No, it was probably the fake crown prince who ordered it.

Thinking this, Dao Yi threw out another lightning talisman, which struck the fake prince once more, and his screams echoed through the Guande Hall once more.

Old Master Wei's jade pendant is an excellent piece of ancient jade. Any formation placed inside it can exert its maximum effect.

Dao Yi rearranged the soul-absorbing formation inside. Originally, she was just waiting for the fake prince's soul to be absorbed by the jade. But when she thought of the people the fake prince had killed to achieve his goal, she felt that if she didn't strike a few times, she would be letting down those who died unjustly.

The phantom kept pulling against the prince's body, and each time it was about to be pulled out of his body, it was pulled back in.

While others couldn't understand it, Dao Yi frowned deeply.

What she didn't expect was that the fake prince's soul was just like the real prince's, merging with the stolen skin. The array inside the jade pendant couldn't immediately draw the soul out of the body, but the people in the hall didn't have the patience to wait.

"Xiao Yi?" Wang Xuanzhi immediately asked, voicing the confusion of the crowd.

Dao shook his head, without immediately explaining.

She added some spiritual power to the jade pendant.

The array within the jade pendant exerted an even greater force on the fake prince's soul, and this time, everyone clearly heard a faint sigh.

"She Tuo, this is the end!" The voice came from inside the fake prince's body.

Inside the Guande Hall, everyone was momentarily stunned. The Prince of Qin was the first to react, exclaiming, "Elder brother, it's you, elder brother!"

In stark contrast to his demeanor when facing the fake crown prince, the King of Qin wore a sorrowful expression.

The listless saint suddenly stood up, "Big Brother is back? Why didn't you come to see Father!"

Dao Yi immediately stopped supplying spiritual energy and retrieved the jade pendant.

She stared in shock at the fake prince, but through his disguise, she saw only a barely perceptible, almost indistinct white dot.

"Your Highness, you're still alive!"

It's no wonder Dao Yi was so shocked. The dual souls she had seen before were like the winds of the east and west. If one was slightly weaker, it would be devoured by the other. Cui Wenyuan and Xingxing were the best proof of this. But she thought that the Crown Prince's current situation was because She Tuo used the Crown Prince's human skin and picked up a bit of his remnant soul. Humans and demons are not compatible, which led to this result.

Little did they know that the Crown Prince was still alive, watching She Tuo use his body to do all of this.

What immense pain that must have been!

Dao Yi and the others did not receive a reply from the Crown Prince. She even noticed that the white dots that had appeared after she finished speaking had thinned out a bit.

"Impossible! You should have died long ago!"

The shock in the eyes of the fake prince, She Tuo, was no less than that in Dao Yi's eyes; in addition, there was a hint of fear that he himself had not noticed.

She Tuo felt the same way, and he laughed loudly, "I thought you had been lying in wait for many days and were quite capable, but I never expected you to be so easily defeated."

For some reason, Chen Yizhi felt a chill run down his spine. Almost instantly, he raised his spear, and Lin Erbai, though a step slower, did the same.

Wang Xuan stepped forward and pulled back the King of Qin, who was still trying to get closer. "Your Highness, he refused to admit it just now, but he suddenly admitted it now. There must be a trap."

The King of Qin stopped, his gaze never leaving the alligator.

"Elder brother!" As if afraid of startling the other party or that the other party might not hear him, the King of Qin's voice was suppressed and heavy.

Dao Yi immediately sensed that the spiritual energy in the air had surged in almost instantly, and every inch of her skin stretched freely. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she would have wanted to sit down cross-legged and meditate to absorb the energy.

"Waiter." That weak voice rang out again.

The King of Qin's eyes lit up. "Elder brother!"

Hearing the Crown Prince's voice, She Tuo became even more smug. The two were now one, and the Crown Prince would become weaker with each additional word he spoke. How could he not be happy?

"King Qin, the Crown Prince's time is running out." Dao Yi then recounted in detail how the Crown Prince's skin had been transferred to the crocodile's body before everyone, before saying, "It must be because of the skin that the Crown Prince had a remnant soul attached to it. Even if he doesn't speak today, it will gradually dissipate in the future."

The behavior of the crocodile also proved that Dao Yi was right.

However, inside the Guande Hall, the most respected father and son in the imperial family could not accept this statement for a while.

But once Dao Yi finds out, they will accept it immediately.

"Waiter, kill me!" After saying this, the prince fell silent.

Dao Yi saw it—the completely vanished white dot. "Crown Prince, he's really gone."

"Give me back my elder brother's life!" The King of Qin thrust his sword toward the Crown Prince.

"Brother!"
