Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 216 How did she get into the soul?

The book, swaying gently, carried the calligraphy brush to the side of the sealed Sun Zhong.

The book was opened, and the brush flew up. Just as I was about to record the contents, I suddenly noticed Liu Fangyue floating beside me.

For a moment, the book was stunned.

Even their movements stopped.

He and Liu Fangyue stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Through Liu Fangyue's gaze, Lin Jiang could clearly sense that this book was controlled by a person, and its level of agility far exceeded that of ordinary spiritual artifacts.

After only a moment of stiffness, the entire book suddenly emitted a dazzling light and rushed backward in the blink of an eye.

This book wants to run away!
"Come on!"

Lin Jiang immediately mobilized his Qi and poured it into Liu Fangyue. Liu Fangyue, who had been somewhat dazed, instantly became alert.

She emitted a dazzling light from head to toe, even suppressing the chaotic light of thoughts around her.

Liu Fangyue's soul quickly extended her left arm.

In the blink of an eye, his left arm changed.

In that instant, her originally slender arm transformed into a thick hemp rope, the end of which even curled up like a lasso.

Lin Jiang stared at the rope, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar.

Isn't this the rope Liu Fangyue used to hang herself?
How do you use this thing?

The hanging rope ripped through the flowing light of the three souls and seven spirits, directly tying the constantly flying book and brush to it. The two items made eerie creaking sounds, clearly unable to bear the weight.

They seem unable to speak, only making strange noises.

Liu Fangyue pulled hard in her direction, and the two objects flew directly in front of her.

She stretched out her finger and gently traced a line across the two objects:
"Why would you need to sneak into other people's souls to steal things?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Fangyue suddenly noticed that layers of cracks were beginning to appear on the top of the two objects.

The next instant, it shattered completely!

The explosion happened so fast that Liu Fangyue didn't have time to react and could only watch helplessly as the two items exploded in her hands.

A few ripples spread from Liu Fangyue's palms. Liu Fangyue frowned, flipped her hands over, and pressed down.

The ripples that were spreading outwards vanished completely, leaving not a trace.

Unfortunately, the item is gone too.

"Master, I am truly incompetent and let the thief escape."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Jiang himself wasn't very skilled in soul-related magic, and without Liu Fangyue, he wouldn't have been able to enter this soul.

Why blame Liu Fangyue?

"Let's cut this piece of soul away as soon as possible." Since someone has already targeted Sun Zhong's soul and prepared these two items to copy books, they probably have a backup plan.

It is not advisable to stay for long.

Liu Fangyue nodded and used her magic to dig out the soul in front of her.

It's like cutting oil with a hot knife, directly creating a huge hole.

Having already captured Sun Zhong's soul, Liu Fangyue left without further hesitation.

Lin Jiang opened his eyes.

The prison was still enveloped in warm air, but the man in front of her twitched slightly and collapsed to the ground.

His breathing was still relatively even; he wasn't dead, but in this situation...

He was clearly traumatized.

After all, it's already a miracle that someone survived after having their soul severed by a magic technique.

Lin Jiang used his magic, and in the blink of an eye, he was wrapped in a sleeve and transformed into a little squirrel.

Jumping through the gap, Lin Jiang quickly left the prison.

After circling around, he discovered that Jiang Jinyue was still drinking tea and looking at documents in the hall, so he quickly ran towards her.

Jiang Jinyue watched him return and then closed the file.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

He declined the local clerk's invitation to stay, flicked his sleeves, picked up the little squirrel beside him, mounted his horse, cracked his whip, and left the place.

With each clatter of hooves, Jiang Jinyue had already traveled a great distance.

She found a secluded spot with dense willow trees and, seeing that no one was around, finally released Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang transformed back into his original form and sat directly on the horse's back.

"Did you find it?" Jiang Jinyue asked Lin Jiang behind her, turning her head to look at him.

"found it."

The soul fragment that Liu Fangyue dug out is currently protected by Lin Jiang's Qi and is unharmed.

But now Lin Jiang has a new problem. How can he put this soul back into Sun Zhong's body?

Should I take the soul directly to Sun Zhong?

"Master, you should first inquire about this soul yourself. If such a mixed soul were to be restored, it would lose some of its memories. On the contrary, during this period, the soul would remember everything completely."

Lin Jiang nodded, and he and Jiang Jinyue found a secluded place where Liu Fangyue helped guide the Dharma.

A moment later, the illusory shadow appeared in Lin Jiang's palm.

Sun Zhongzheng lay limp and listless in Lin Jiang's palm.

The illusory shadow slowly rose from Lin Jiang's palm, then its legs went weak, and it collapsed. It first looked around blankly, then its gaze finally settled on Lin Jiang's face:

“You…you are Lin Shengfeng’s grandson? You look just like Lin Shengfeng.”

“I am Lin Shengfeng’s grandson.”

"How did you get here?" Sun Zhong tried to stand up from the palm of his hand, but he was clearly very weak, his body swaying and his soul unstable: "You rescued me?"

Sun Zhong may have a damaged soul; his mind is clearly still confused, his thoughts are unclear, and he can't even speak clearly.

He thought about it carefully for a long time, then suddenly cried out in surprise:

"Run! You can't stay in the capital! They're all liars! They all want your grandfather's elixir formula! I threw the key in the northern mine, grab the key and run!"

"Grandpa Sun, it's alright, it's alright." Lin Jiang immediately comforted Sun Zhong. "I know that everyone in the capital is a fraudster, and I know what they want to do, but they can't beat me. Don't worry."

"Can't beat you?"

"Yes."

"Really? Those people are amazing."

"It's alright, I'm a deity."

"Immortal... Immortal... Has that bastard Lin finally figured it out?" Sun Zhong tried to get up from Lin Jiang's palm again. He tried twice, but finally collapsed back into Lin Jiang's hand.

"The gods are good, the gods are good, the gods can protect the treasure, the gods will definitely protect the treasure."

"Grandpa Sun, what exactly happened? Why were you trapped inside that person's body?" Lin Jiang couldn't help but ask, seeing that Sun Zhong seemed to have stabilized a bit.

“I…I…” Sun Zhong recalled for a long time: “I remember, I went to the north, I was injured, and when I came back, I saw a group of people who seemed to want to capture me.”

"I tried to run for a long time, and then I ran into a guy who stopped me. He put his hand on my head, and then I was locked up in jail."

"Who was that person again...? I remember I should have seen him before, I should have seen him before..."

A hint of realization finally appeared on Sun Zhong's face:

"I remember now, that person is Gao Xuan, Gao Xuan from the Dali Temple!"

……

In a bustling restaurant in the capital, several martial arts enthusiasts who often drank there gathered together again today and booked a private room.

Their private room was quite expensive, but whatever they talked about inside would go unnoticed by anyone outside.

However, these martial arts practitioners did not actually believe they had any secrets they needed to reveal.

They just happen to order from this restaurant.

After ordering their food, the group of travelers chatted about recent events.

At first, their conversation was perfectly normal, but soon, strange syllables began to appear in their speech.

"The writing implements were destroyed."

He showed no surprise whatsoever at the strange sound that suddenly came from his throat, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

And the other syllables also began to ring out in succession:

"Who did it?"

“A woman, I think I’ve seen her in the archives in the capital.”

"Check it out."

The group of wandering swordsmen continued to drink and eat fish, and only then did those eerie tones escape from their mouths again.

"We've found out. This person was Liu Shuwen's retainer, named Liu Fangyue. She had already died before Liu Shuwen confiscated her property."

"What level of cultivation did she have? What was her level of spiritual attainment? How did she die?"

"The old-school sixth level cultivator failed to break through the Star Point, but he cultivates the Yin Five Elements. He must have faked his death to escape last time."

"Liu Shuwen...could this old man have left a backup plan?"

"Maybe. After all, that guy has been in officialdom for many years. He might still have some tricks up his sleeve to save his life."

"Investigate carefully and thoroughly, and see if you can get anything out of him."

At this point, the strange noises finally disappeared completely.

The group of martial arts practitioners returned to normal, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Only one younger man stared at the broken food on the table with a puzzled look, scratching his head.

"Does food leak from my mouth when I eat?"
