Chapter 268 Spiritual Power Restriction
“Master—this should be the last time I call you Master. If you stop now, out of consideration for our past master-disciple relationship, I can spare your life.”

"Do you believe in past and present lives?"

"It seems you're not going to agree."

These words kept echoing in Song Nan's ears; they were the last words Tang Ling had said to him before he fell into a coma.

Liu San seemed to say something as well, but he couldn't hear it very clearly, only catching a few scattered words, "...Saving lives and healing the wounded was originally my purpose in becoming an alchemist..."

And then it was over.

Liu San is dead.

Tang Ling, who had transformed into a dream-eater, killed him with her own hands.

Along with him, all the demons stationed in the Ten Thousand Mountains also died.

The entire demon army was wiped out by Dream Eater in a very short time.

This is the power of the four ancient mythical beasts.

However, after killing people, Dream Eater was not in good condition. It seemed that he had used up too much energy in a short period of time and was somewhat exhausted. In a hurry, he fled to a cave in some forest in the Azure Cloud Continent.

It seems to have recovered quite a bit now and has been able to temporarily revert to human form.

Looking at Tang Ling's face, Song Nan often felt a sense of disorientation, as if the person in front of him was indeed the real Tang Ling.

"Sad?"

Seemingly noticing that Song Nan's gaze lingered on her face for a while, Shi Meng turned her eyes to look at Song Nan and asked, "Now and in the future, I am the one who controls this body, not Tang Ling."

Song Nan was taken aback. "What...does this mean?"

The Dream Eater continued to look at him and slowly said, "It means that in this body now, there is only a trace of my consciousness. Whether it is Tang Ling's consciousness in the past life or the Tang Ling you know in this life, I have completely devoured it."

silence.

Dead silence.

This silence was like a silent avalanche.

The Dream Eater saw something shatter and crumble in his silent eyes...

A human being as stupid as Xiao Hei.

He scoffed inwardly at the idea of ​​eating dreams.

This is something it didn't understand before.

What is love anyway?

The Dream Eater finds it hard to understand, is unwilling to engage with, and is even less willing to admit that, as Tang Ling, it actually had feelings for Song Nan.

It turned its head away coldly, not wanting to look at Song Nan's expression any longer, and continued as if it were an outsider: "Let me remind you, Tang Ling's soul was devoured by me, not pushed out by me. If you want to find her, it's impossible."

"It would be best if you could become the owner of this body; that's my selfish wish."

"But if one day you are squeezed out of this body, I will do everything I can to find you."

It still remembered Song Nan's words from many years ago on the South Green River at Zhenchao Pass.

At that time, Tang Ling was just Tang Ling, without having absorbed many memories of her.

For some reason, Shi Meng didn't want Song Nan to treat him and Tang Ling as one person.

Although they are indeed one person.

It didn't want to look back at Song Nan's expression anymore. In the long river of time, there was also a pair of eyes that had looked at it like that, but unfortunately, the owner of those eyes paid for it with his life.

"You've saved Tang Ling several times. I'm using Tang Ling's body to repay your kindness—tell me, what do you want?"

After speaking, he remained silent.

Just as Shi Meng was about to give him a talisman and say, "If you can't think of anything right now, you can tell me through this talisman later," Song Nan's somewhat hoarse voice finally rang out from behind him.

"Tang Ling also saved me. There's no need to make such a clear distinction between her and me."

After saying that, he paused, then continued, "If you want to use her body to satisfy your desires, then please let me follow you."

you.

Meng San is not used to it.

Perhaps it's because... it sounds inexplicably jarring.

"I told you, her soul has been annihilated. Don't even think about following me to find her." Meng San wanted to shatter his illusions. At least it was humanly determined that it would never become as powerless and soft-hearted as Tang Ling again, nor could it fall in love with anyone.

It would be best to pretend she's dead.

After a long while, a voice that was becoming increasingly hoarse finally rang out from behind.

"Please let me follow you."

So stubborn!

Meng San was somewhat angry.

“I already know about Lu Qingfeng. Liu San will definitely tell him. At that time, Lu Qingfeng will do everything he can to kill me for his own sake. I will not have a good ending when I go back.”

This time, it seemed to carry a hint of confusion and pleading.

That makes some sense.

After thinking about it, Meng San finally nodded in agreement.

But the only response was silence.

This silence was incredibly oppressive.

Meng San wanted to get some fresh air outside the cave, so she casually set up a magic array behind her to protect Song Nan.

"Do not step out of the magic circle."

After saying that, it left the cave without looking back.

Because it is located in the mountains and forests, with lush trees, the air outside the cave is exceptionally fresh.

As a beast, Meng San actually likes and is close to nature.

Moreover, it has not been able to experience the human world with complete memories and a complete self for a long time, so it naturally feels nostalgic and reluctant to leave now.

The air in the forest was refreshing, and the newly sprouted grass and trees shone brightly green in the sunlight. It roamed through the forest, took a deep breath of fresh air, and, unusually cheerful, used its magic to leap from one branch to another.

A slightly cheerful black figure then moved through the jungle.

No matter how high!

No matter how high!

Even higher!

Meng San's gaze pierced through the clouds and mist, as if he could see some distant, unreachable space!

Unfortunately, just as the thought arose in its mind, it suddenly felt its spiritual energy stagnate, and its entire body began to fall violently.

With a deafening "bang," layers of dust rose from the ground.

Meng San lay on the ground, his previously cheerful expression turning into one of utter despair.

"It's really troublesome..."

Looking at the pitiful little bit of spiritual energy condensing at its fingertips, it understood that this was the suppression of its spiritual energy here, which always hindered it when it wanted to cast more advanced spells.

"What was that noise just now?"

"It looks like something has landed!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away. Meng San's ears twitched, and she silently used her spiritual power to restore the ground to its original state, concealing herself and hiding on the treetop.

Just then, the two people who were speaking had already walked to the foot of the tree.

"Nothing at all!?"

"But we clearly heard a noise just now!"

"Perhaps it's some kind of animal?"

"I thought it was that Dream Eater. The Qingyun Sect has issued a kill order for it. Killing it will earn you a certain number of high-grade spirit stones, as well as a cultivation spot from the Lingxian Sect!"

"Yes, several cultivators have already taken action. This is the first time I've heard of the Dream Eater appearing in the world!"

"You said that all four of these demonic beasts, except for the white whale, have been making moves recently. Could this be related to the demon invasion?"

"Who knows! The world is in chaos now. Cultivators are either on the battlefield or fleeing. Spirit stones are the most reliable thing! We should hurry up and look for that Dream Eater. I heard it's badly injured. Maybe we can snatch it up!"
