World version update

Chapter 11 Soul Refining Flag
"Who are you?"

Gongyang Xuanming stuttered, his expression full of fear.

Although he was ruthless and treated human life as worthless, he was only a mortal. How could he have ever seen such a horrifying scene before him?

The common sense he had acquired over twenty years made him instinctively believe that the scene before him was false, but the corpses on the ground and the eerie ghostly aura all reminded him of the truth.

Gongyang Xuanming could only suppress the fear in his heart and begged for mercy to the three ghosts in front of him:
"If you want money, don't hurt me, I have plenty of money.

My father is powerful in Myanmar, I can give you anything you ask for!"

The three ghost shadows said nothing, but slowly approached Gongyang Xuanming.

"Oh? Can you really take out everything?"

A teasing voice slowly rang out in the room.

Gongyang Xuanming subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but found that there was nothing in front of him and no one at all.

"Anything is fine as long as you ask!"

"very good."

It was as if there was an invisible ghost wandering in the room, and every word of its voice went straight into Gongyang Xuanming's heart.

"I want, your life!"

Fear instantly filled Gongyang Xuanming's mind. He subconsciously wanted to call for help, but found that no matter how hard he opened his mouth, his throat could not make the slightest sound.

A dagger on the ground flew into the air and pierced Gongyang Xuanming's heart.

The corpse fell to the ground, and pungent blood continued to flow out of Gongyang Xuanming's body, but under the guidance of some magical power, it began to slowly spread and turned into complex patterns.

In front of Gongyang Xuanming's body, Lu Yan was standing quietly, holding a book called "Secret Records of Magical Instruments" in his left hand and using his right hand to draw on magic power to control the flow of blood.

Beside him, a faintly glowing talisman was floating.

A first-level inferior talisman, the invisibility talisman!

Long before the three vengeful spirits started fighting, Lu Yan had already used the invisibility talisman to sneak into the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel and cut off the power supply and all monitoring equipment in the suite.

In fact, if the purpose was just to kill Gongyang Xuanming, there would be no need for Lu Yan to come to the scene in person.

But after Lu Yan discovered that Gongyang Xuanming had so many bodyguards, another thought emerged in his mind.

That is to use the souls of Gongyang Xuanming and his subordinates to complete the unrefined Demonic Soul Banner.

There is still a cultivator missing to refine the Demonic Soul Banner, and Lu Yan is the last cultivator chosen by Gongyang Xuanming and Manager Chu.

However, Lu Yan successfully counterattacked and brought the Soul Banner to the urban version, which destroyed the original refining process. To make up for this last defect, one must either find another cultivator to sacrifice, or a large number of souls must be used to make up for the quality with quantity.

It just so happened that Lu Yan killed Gongyang Xuanming and his subordinates, so these materials were ready-made. In addition, he got the "Secret Record of Magical Instruments" from Manager Chu, so Lu Yan naturally would not waste it.

In addition, Lu Yan also had some experimental ideas in his mind.

Gongyang Xuanming and this middle-aged man who looks like a butler are definitely powerful monks with profound cultivation in the fairy-tale version.

After becoming an ordinary person in the urban version, will the soul also be in the state of an ordinary person after death? If the soul is sacrificed and refined into the soul flag, will the power of the soul flag be increased after the version is updated?
These seemingly insignificant information will all be related to how Lu Yan can better use version updates to benefit himself.

As his thoughts turned, referring to the formations in the Secret Records of Magical Instruments, Lu Yan used his magic power to guide the blood to slowly condense into a formation. However, since Gong Yang Xuanming's body was not a cultivator, his blood did not contain spiritual power, so Lu Yan could only take out a spiritual stone from his storage bag, crush it, and integrate it into the blood formation to add some spirituality to the blood.

After a while, the soul sacrificial formation took shape and the soul flag fell into the formation.

Lu Yan formed a seal with his hands and stretched out his right hand, and Gongyang Xuanming's soul was separated from his body.

The spiritual energy in the urban version is too thin, and it is not enough to support the long-term survival of the soul, let alone transforming into a ghost.

After his soul was extracted, Gongyang Xuanming's face still showed the shock and fear before his death. It was not until the three resentful souls came to Gongyang Xuanming that he came back to his senses from the fear of death.

Lu Yan glanced at Gongyang Xuanming's soul with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

As expected, Gongyang Xuanming's soul is only at the level of an ordinary person, not enough to bring growth to the Soul Banner.

If it had not been confirmed that Gongyang Xuanming was the man behind Manager Chu's actions, neither Gongyang Xuanming's performance nor the soul of this ordinary person would have allowed Lu Yan to connect him with that high-ranking demon monk.

However, there is always a gain for a loss. Through Gongyang Xuanming Lu Yan, one thing was confirmed, that is, the different versions are indeed completely independent.

This is also a good thing for Lu Yan. At least he doesn't have to worry about killing a powerful monster in the future, only to be killed by the other party's soul strength which far exceeds that of his physical body.

Gongyang Xuanming, who had regained consciousness, looked at the three vengeful spirits surrounding him. Their pale and ferocious faces looked strangely twisted, as if they were stitched together.

Without the protection of his physical body, Gongyang Xuanming could increasingly feel the horror of a resentful spirit in the early stages of Qi training, and his soul seemed to be gradually freezing in that gloomy air.

The corpses on the ground and the strange blood donation formation shook Gong Yang Xuanming's soul. He looked around in panic and asked loudly:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Yan ignored him. Although he came in person to repair the Soul Banner, he could not leave any information behind in order to avoid the influence of information mapping.

In the room, only that ghostly voice sounded again.

“You can see clearly that he is the culprit who caused your death.

The so-called storekeeper Chu is just a tool under his control."

As soon as these words were spoken, tiny faces suddenly appeared on the faces of the three-headed ghost. The twisted souls that had merged into the bodies of the ghosts after the sacrifice kept struggling and roaring, trying to break free from the constraints of the ghosts' bodies.

The vengeful spirit is a ghost that is supported by resentment. Even if it has long lost its mind, the resentment in its heart will not change in the slightest.

Gongyang Xuanming's pupils trembled violently, because he had recognized that the faces of the resentful souls in front of him were the consumables selected by Chu Hao.

Are there really ghosts in this world?
However, no one answered his doubts.

"Eat him."

With such light words, the final judgment was delivered.

The long-awaited resentful souls grabbed Gongyang Xuanming's soul and pulled it out, and the six ghost claws tore the fragile soul into pieces.

The tiny faces chewed on Gongyang Xuanming's soul, as if venting the resentment that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time.

A faint light appeared on the blood formation on the ground, and the blood light spread in all directions, soon covering the entire presidential suite.

On the fallen corpses, souls slowly separated from their bodies and appeared in the formation, converging towards the soul flag in the center of the formation.
