Chapter 39: Feeling something is wrong and becoming suspicious

Hun Qinghao's absurd and unruly words really shocked Yao Chen.

It is obvious that the stories in the vernacular novels were written by people, so how could they be real things that happened in another world?
"How is this possible?" Yao Chen muttered to himself as he stared at Hun Qinghao's serious expression.

Hun Qinghao blinked and asked in a serious tone: "Why not? Maybe our world is also the world in the storybook of another world?"

Hearing this, Yao Chen was startled. After a moment, he laughed dumbly, shook his head helplessly, rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Girl, your little head is full of weird ideas every day."

There's nothing she can do about it, since she has experienced it herself!

Pursing his lips, Hun Qinghao picked up the soul-guiding wood and looked at it carefully, as if he was considering whose image he would like to carve it into.

…………

Three days later, Hun Qinghao finally decided who the two puppets should look like, carved detailed outlines on the wood, and waited for the next period of seclusion to start carving.

However, she planned to wait until she reached the next town before starting carving. After all, she had stayed in Black Rock City for a long time and it was time to leave.

In a more solemn house in the city, Sheng Linglong was sitting on a stone slab and practicing. The space not far in front of him trembled slightly, and Sheng Feng suddenly appeared.

Sheng Linglong didn't even open his eyes and asked calmly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shengfeng looked embarrassed, as if it was difficult to say it. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to say it.

"Your Highness, I have some bad news. The old guys from the Soul Devouring Clan sent people to infiltrate the Soul Realm, but they were discovered by the Soul Clan elders. This caused Hun Miesheng to carry out a major purge of the entire Soul Palace, and even the spies we planted were killed."

boom!
Sheng Linglong suddenly opened his eyes, and the aura around him spread out, "A bunch of people who are incapable of doing anything good, but always capable of causing trouble!"

"Don't they know that everyone in the Soul Realm, except Emperor Soul and Qing'er's sister, is controlled by the Void Devouring Flame? If it were so easy to enter the Soul Realm, why would I have to wait for five years?"

Shengfeng remained silent because he didn't know what to say. As for Shengyu, he was still cleaning up the mess.

The result of years of planning was caught in one fell swoop. It would be strange if Sheng Linglong was in a good mood. At this moment, the person he least wanted to see appeared.

Looking at the two black-robed masked men who suddenly appeared in front of him, Sheng Linglong clenched his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "How did you find this place? What are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, you are still so stupid!"

"We were able to find you five years ago. Do you think we won't be able to find you just because you changed your avatar? Your body is still suppressed in the spirit world."

Although the two men in black robes addressed Sheng Linglong as "His Royal Highness the Holy Son", they showed no respect for him at all and instead mocked him wantonly.

Sheng Linglong and Sheng Feng clenched their hands again and again, and finally they could only grit their teeth to suppress this humiliation. After all, Sheng Linglong's lifeline was in the hands of the Soul-Devouring Clan.

"It's been some time since Your Highness the Saint Son came out. The clan leader ordered us to bring you back to the spirit world." One of the men in black robes spoke in a cold voice.

Another black-robed man continued, "If Your Highness the Saint Son is unwilling, we don't mind using some tough measures. By then, I'm afraid your body will be..."

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

Before the man in black robe finished speaking, Sheng Linglong agreed immediately.

Threatening him with his holy body, the Soul Devouring Clan, damn it!

But in his current state, he had no choice but to accept this threat, so Sister Qing'er was particularly important to him. As long as he could get the powerful force in her body, he could return to his peak! Hun Qinghao originally came to say goodbye to Sheng Linglong, but she didn't expect to hear their conversation outside the gate. The smile on her face disappeared immediately, and she pushed open the door and walked into the house.

But after walking in, she stood there in a daze, staring at the two men in black robes.

This aura that made her extremely disgusted was surprisingly similar to those people five years ago!
Why? Why is Brother Linglong with the people who hunted him five years ago?
Was it because of some kind of deal? Or was it because… there was something fishy going on when he was being hunted down five years ago?
At this moment, Hun Qinghao's mind was in a mess. She didn't dare to think too deeply, but she couldn't control herself from thinking too deeply.

"Sister Qing'er, why are you here?"

Seeing her come in, Sheng Linglong stood up and asked with a smile.

Hun Qing finally came to his senses and forced a rather stiff smile, "I'm going to the Tagor Desert, and I wanted to ask Brother Linglong if he wanted to go with me. But now it seems that Brother Linglong can't leave."

"It's okay, Sister Qing'er, go ahead. I'll come find you after I finish my business." Sheng Linglong took out a black eye-shaped jade pendant and put it on Hun Qinghao's neck, and told her, "Sister Qing'er, I left in a hurry last time and didn't prepare a gift for you. I'll make up for it this time. This is a little token of my appreciation. Sister Qing'er, you can't take it off. You must wear it all the time."

Hun Qinghao touched the jade pendant on her chest. The shape of a black eye made her very unhappy, but she did not refute Sheng Linglong's words at this time.

Then she looked up and saw the two men in black robes staring at her left hand.

No matter what they were looking at, Hun Qinghao subconsciously hid her hands behind her back. She still felt unsafe, so she covered the black ring on her thumb with her soul power.

"Since Brother Linglong has something important to do, Qing'er will not disturb you."

After saying that, Hun Qing ran out of the house as if escaping. Only after he was far away did he feel relieved and removed the soul power covering the black ring.

As for Sheng Linglong, after Hun Qing left, the black-robed man said in a deep voice: "The girl just now is the young master of the Soul Clan, the person you wanted to get close to five years ago, Your Highness the Holy Son."

"What do you want to do?" Sheng Linglong instantly became alert and sneered, "Before you touch her, think about her identity first, so as not to die unclearly."

"Don't worry, we won't touch her until we can deal with Emperor Hun Tian, ​​but the soul body in her body is not certain."

"I think Your Highness the Saint Son has also sensed it. That girl has a soul with strong spiritual power. She might even be a high-level alchemist."

Sheng Linglong frowned, "You want that soul body, how do you know if you have sensed it wrong?"

"We'll know if we sensed it wrong after testing it."

"What do you want to do? You said you couldn't touch her!"

"Don't worry, we're just testing it out."

"Your Highness, please don't forget that you are the Holy Son of the Soul Devouring Clan and must put the interests of the Soul Devouring Clan first."

"..."

There was no sound for a long time. The man in black robe had left. Sheng Linglong sat on the chair. After a long time, he smiled coldly.

"What does the Soul Devouring Clan's affairs have to do with me, Sheng Linglong?"

Just a bunch of remnants...
