Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

"Senior Brother Shi!"

In the camp of the Great Luo Sword Sect, Ye Xiyue looked at the scene reflected in the Hetu Luoshu, her red lips trembling slightly, and her father Ye Yuanbai in front of her clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Shi Sanjin?" Chen Zhong was taken aback, as if he had heard the name somewhere before. Just as he was thinking, he heard his elder brother Chen Nuo's voice: "The missing senior disciple of the inner sect."

Chen Zhong suddenly realized and said, "I remember now, the number one genius in the inner sect is named Yuan Shi, Senior Brother Yuan Shi..."

Shi Sanjin, the number one genius of the inner sect of the Great Luo Sword Sect, was at the peak of the fourth realm. The Great Luo Sword Sect had high hopes for him and was originally the sect's trump card for participating in this Star Domain War. However, he mysteriously disappeared during a training exercise thirty years ago and has not been seen since.

Unexpectedly, he was turned into a soul slave by evil cultivators.

"Senior sister, who is this Xiao Ye?" Chen Nuo asked Ye Xiyue curiously, noticing the commotion Xiao Ye had caused.

Before Ye Xiyue could speak, Ye Yuanbai suddenly said, "Disciple of Guild Master Xuan."

"President Xuan?" Chen Nuo's gaze was fixed on Xuan Kongzi not far away. At this moment, many eyes were also on Xuan Kongzi.

However, compared to the agitated Ruan Yibai, Xuan Kongzi appeared extremely calm, with no change in expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Only the powerful figures present could notice the slight tremor that had just occurred in Xuan Kongzi's body.

Inside the Starry Sky World.

"The eldest disciple of the inner sect of the Great Luo Sword Sect."

“A highly accomplished disciple of Master Xuan Kongzi.”

Xu Nianzhen raised an eyebrow as she looked at the identities of the third and fourth main souls. She was amazed at how audacious this evil cultivator was to dare to attack the disciples of a powerful force. The identities and origins of these four soul slaves were certainly extraordinary.

"Heh heh heh, soon you two will be joining them too." Blood Shadow chuckled twice, pointed the Myriad Soul Banner at Chen Mo and Xu Nianzhen, and shouted, "Kill them."

No matter how illustrious or extraordinary the four soul slaves were in life, at this moment, they are merely "walking corpses" at the mercy of others and will not disobey the master of the soul banner.

Upon hearing Blood Shadow's command, it immediately emitted a chilling hiss and flew towards Chen Mo and his companion, baring its fangs and claws.

Chen Mo and Xu Nianzhen exchanged a glance, then nodded in perfect unison, each taking turns to face the two soul slaves.

As Chen Mo raised his hand, true solar fire condensed on his five fingers and palm, and he punched his fists at the soul slaves Ruan Xia and Long Ze respectively.

In just one exchange, a large hole was blasted into the bodies of the two soul slaves.

Just when Chen Mo thought the problem was solved so easily, the holes in the bodies of the two soul slaves that had been blasted open actually healed rapidly. Black smoke emerged from the healing area, exactly the same as the black smoke from the soul banner in Blood Shadow's hand, which was obviously due to the soul banner.

Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine. Facing the two soul slaves charging at him again, he raised his palm, his consciousness communicating with the Golden Crow within his body. Just as the two soul slaves were less than an inch apart, a ball of crimson-gold flames erupted from the palm of his raised hand.

The crimson flames ignited upon contact, like a leech clinging to the bone, engulfing the two soul slaves. In less than three breaths, the two soul slaves were reduced to ashes by the intense heat.

Ultimately, it was merely a soul slave refined by the primordial spirit, and its strength was naturally inferior to its peak strength in life.

Just as Chen Mo thought the matter was finally resolved, Xue Ying waved the soul banner in his hand, and the soul slaves Ruan Xia and Long Ze, who had been reduced to ashes, were pulled out of the soul banner again.

"Hehehe, the main soul is bound to the soul banner. As long as the banner exists, the soul exists, and the soul is immortal." Blood Shadow seemed very proud. He pointed at Chen Mo again, and the soul slaves Ruan Xia and Long Ze pounced on Chen Mo again.

The same situation applies to Xu Nianzhen's side.

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, having made a plan. After annihilating "Ruan Xia" and "Long Ze" once more, he unleashed the Soaring Dragon Step, leaving afterimages in the air as he headed straight for the Blood Shadow.

Not far behind him, a night-blooming cereus, about ten feet long, bloomed, and Xu Nianzhen's figure emerged from it.

Clearly, Xu Nianzhen shared the same idea as him and decided to directly target Blood Shadow.

However, how could Blood Shadow be unprepared for the two of them? With just a slight shake of the Soul Banner in his hand, a large number of Soul Slaves appeared around him, baring their fangs and claws, terrifying beyond compare, making it impossible for the two of them to get close to Blood Shadow.

And because of this delay, the soul slaves Ruan Xia, Long Ze, Xiao Ye, and Shi Sanjin emerged from the soul banner unharmed.

Chen Mo frowned. Blood Shadow's own strength might not be as good as Liu Yuebai and the others, but with this Soul Banner, his strength could far surpass that of Liu Yuebai and the others.

"call."

Chen Mo took a breath and put on his armor-piercing suit.

As light began to gush from the holes in his armor, Chen Mo slowly opened his mouth, and an extremely terrifying power gathered in his throat.

Blood Shadow didn't want to give Chen Mo a chance, so he immediately ordered his four main souls and thousands of secondary soul slaves to attack Chen Mo.

"One flower, one world."

Xu Nianzhen gently raised her jade hand, and a pure and beautiful epiphyllum flower appeared in her palm. She gently clenched her five fingers, and countless epiphyllum flowers bloomed in front of her to cover Chen Mo.

"Divine Phoenix Heavenly Sound!"

A sharp phoenix cry roared from Chen Mo's mouth.

The Divine Phoenix Heavenly Sound is different from the Divine Demon Myriad Manifestations Seal; it doesn't require that much time to condense.

Xu Nianzhen, who was standing in front of Chen Mo, vanished like a fleeting flower, only to reappear behind Chen Mo a moment later.

Having suffered a great loss before, Blood Shadow was now on guard against Chen Mo's primordial spirit attack.

He slammed the soul banner down with his hand, then his blackened lips uttered softly: "Gather!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thousands of secondary soul slaves around him, like streaks of gray light, surged into the bodies of the four main souls, making the main souls incredibly solid and their auras even more powerful.

In an instant, the aura unleashed by the four main souls was no less than that of Xu Nianzhen at his peak. Together, they blocked Chen Mo's primordial spirit attack.

"Hehehe, obediently become the fifth main soul in my soul banner!"

Seemingly noticing the hint of surprise on Chen Mo's face, Xue Ying's smugness intensified, as if Chen Mo was already his for the taking and he had no idea how he could possibly lose.

"Fairy Nianzhen, buy me a little more time."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, thousands of spirit swords appeared behind him with a thought.

And that's not all; the number of spirit swords continues to increase.

Upon seeing this situation, Xu Nianzhen immediately understood what was going on.

She didn't say anything, but rushed to Chen Mo, bit her finger, and as a drop of blood seeped out, she used the blood as ink to draw a pattern of an epiphyllum flower in front of her.

Suddenly, a blood-red epiphyllum flower appeared in front of him.

The crimson epiphyllum bloomed, enveloping the two main soul slaves.

At this moment, Xu Nianzhen's strength had only recovered to about 60% of his peak. Facing four main soul slaves whose strength was comparable to his peak, the Crimson Ephemeral Flower could not hold them for long and was quickly broken free.

"puff"

Xu Nianzhen coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward, but before she could go far, a large hand supported her back and steadied her.

Xu Nianzhen turned around and saw Chen Mo give her a reassuring smile. Behind him, 7789 spirit swords had been condensed, along with dozens of other sword-type magical treasures.

"The sun's true fire, rise!"

Chen Mo snapped his fingers, and the 7789 spirit swords and dozens of sword-type magical treasures rose up again with a ball of golden flame, which was extremely hot.

"Zhou Tian Sword Formation, go!"

Chen Mo pointed a finger, and countless fiery swords shot out, all striking forward and instantly piercing the four main soul slaves who were attacking him, leaving holes of varying sizes. However, black smoke quickly emerged from these holes as they began to repair themselves.

But as soon as Chen Mo moved his finger, the magic swords that had pierced through turned around and came back, constantly washing over the four main soul slaves.

For a time, the recovery speed of the four main soul slaves was far slower than the speed of the Zhou Tian Sword Formation's cleansing.

"Ahhh"

Screams erupted from the bodies of the four main soul slaves. These were the screams of the secondary soul slaves that had entered their bodies. This was the main soul instinctively using the primordial spirit energy of the secondary souls to repair its own wounds.

"Destroy it!"

Chen Mo shouted, and the true fire of the sun on the fire sword boiled even more fiercely.

"Gather!"

The smug smile on Xueying's face faded, and a hint of solemnity gradually appeared. However, he did not panic. He waved the Soul Banner in his hand, which caused the four main soul slaves to merge into one, becoming a "monster" with a body size of three zhang tall. This even alarmed the Hetu Luoshu, which suppressed this "monster".

This left Chen Mo and the outside world completely bewildered.

It's as if it's saying, "This works too?"

At this moment, the "monster's" large hand drew one complex and mysterious trajectory after another, actually using supernatural powers to try to kill Chen Mo.

"This is the Azure Cloud Technique of the Cloud Soaring Sect." Some outsiders recognized this divine ability as a secret technique of the Cloud Soaring Sect.

Everyone gasped in surprise, not expecting that this soul slave could still use the supernatural powers he had in life.

The faces of the people from Yunxiao Sect were all dark at this moment.

"combine!"

After a moment of surprise, Chen Mo was not afraid at all. He raised his palm and loosely clenched his fist.

All 7789 spirit swords converged towards the broken Light and Shadow Sword, layer upon layer, as if merging together. The remaining dozens of sword-type magical treasures surrounded the Light and Shadow Sword, bursting out with crisp sword sounds and dazzling starlight.

"boom!"

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The merged Zhou Tian Sword Formation collided with the combined Soul Slave. The void trembled and even cracks appeared. The killing intent was overwhelming.

In the end, the fused Zhou Tian Sword Formation proved superior, beheading the combined Soul Slave.

However, the four main souls were soon resurrected from Blood Shadow's soul banner.

But Chen Mo didn't come away empty-handed.

The tens of thousands of secondary souls that had just merged with the four main souls did not have the ability to revive and were destroyed by Chen Mo.

Blood Shadow's face was ashen; the losses were heavy, and he was furious.

He still had a trump card up his sleeve and was confident he could take down Chen Mo, but a while had passed since Ruan Yibai sent him the message, and he couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise the contestants from Miaoyin Sect and Yunxiao Sect would arrive.

"Chen Mo, is it? I'll remember you." Xue Ying gave Chen Mo a deep look, her teeth clenched with hatred. All her efforts over the past two days had been ruined by Chen Mo.

"Want to leave?"

Seeing that the other party was about to slip away, Chen Mo naturally disagreed and immediately stopped them.

Blood Shadow directly ordered the four main souls to block them, since the main souls could be resurrected by the Myriad Soul Banner anyway, and he could just take the Myriad Soul Banner with him.

"Zheng!"

Just then, a piano melody rang out.

A gentle breeze blew, and the blades of grass swayed gently, but the next second, the tips of the blades were sliced ​​off by an invisible force.

"not good."

Blood Shadow sensed something and quickly waved the Myriad Soul Banner to defend himself.

Blood Shadow's own strength is actually not considered strong among the top group of people in the Star Domain War. He belongs to the same category as Teng Luo. It is only because the Myriad Soul Banner in his hand is powerful.

Now, the four main souls are blocking Chen Mo. This sudden attack caught Xue Ying off guard, and she was blown away by the sound of the zither. Her robes on her shoulders were stained with blood, making them appear even redder.

he got hurt.

"Who?" Blood Shadow shouted, his face grim.

"So it's you rats hiding in the shadows. I was just looking for you, and now that I've found you, let's settle all our old and new scores."

A graceful figure carrying a guqin soared through the air. She glanced at Ruan Xia, who had become a soul slave in the distance, and then looked at Xue Ying. She hadn't expected that the murderer of Ruan Xia was actually an evil cultivator. Well, she would also hold Yu Rong accountable to the other party.

Her delicate hands caressed the strings of the zither, her movements as gentle as brushing away dewdrops from flower petals.

"Ding"

A long, clear, lingering sound, carrying endless killing intent, rippled towards the blood-red shadow.

The person who arrived was Wen Mengyao.

"Damn it."

Blood Shadow's expression changed slightly. While releasing a large number of secondary soul slaves to resist, he recalled "Ruan Xia," one of the four main soul slaves. After blocking Wen Mengyao, he immediately fled in another direction.

"Shh!"

A dazzling light dispelled the dark clouds in the sky, and a loud shout came from within the light.

"You audacious evil cultivator, how dare you harm the pride of our sect! Your crime is unforgivable."

The light dissipated, revealing more than a dozen figures.

The contestants from Yunxiaomen have also arrived.

Upon seeing Wen Mengyao and the contestants from Yunxiao Sect appear, Chen Mo's expression hardened. He ignored the three main soul slaves in front of him and immediately tried to make a run for it.

He realized that Wen Mengyao and the others had arrived, and the people from the Bitter Sea would be arriving soon as well.

We cannot stay here for long.

But he had just taken a step.

On the other side of the sky, a Buddha's light emerged, and the irritating sound of Buddhist chanting swept in from afar.

“Benefactor Chen, we meet again,” Fa’er’s voice rang out.

"You bunch of bald monks, you're really persistent," Chen Mo frowned, knowing he probably wouldn't be able to leave.

"Benefactor Chen, the fact that you are a remnant of the spirit medium has been confirmed by the elders outside, and a decree has been issued. Are you still not going to turn back?" Fa'er sat cross-legged in the sky, twirling the prayer beads in his hand, with Buddhist light shining behind him, looking down at Chen Mo.

"Turn back?" Chen Mo sneered, "What terrible crime have I committed that I should turn back? As for the so-called remnants of psychic abilities, those are just accusations you've imposed on me."

"Hmph, even on the verge of death, you're still being stubborn. Remnants of psychic powers, your crimes deserve death!" A loud shout resounded through the void. (End of Chapter)
