After everyone left, Qin Xi asked, "Do you have an idea?"
Mo Tiange took out the soul bead Lord Daoist Jinghe threw at her and said with a smile, "I just thought of it."
Qin Xi stared at the gloomy Soul Bead in confusion. "What's the use of this?"
Mo Tiange said, "All the traps and formations in the passageways outside the storehouse have been cracked. Logically speaking, Xiao Zilan's group must've come to the storehouse.
However, there are no traces of them in the storeroom. There are only two possibilities. One is that they left the storeroom safely and went somewhere else. The other is that they disappeared in the storeroom. "
Qin Xi pondered for a moment and immediately understood. "Ghost City!"
"You're right." Mo Tiange stared at the Soul Bead. From time to time, several evil ghost faces protruded from the surface of the bead. They looked terrifying, but they couldn't break free from the Soul Bead's shackles. "There are dozens of ghost cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm, and Ghost City has been built here for at least ten thousand years. They definitely know where Xiao Zilan went."
"How many Nascent Soul Stage ghost Cultivators are we going to find?"
The others had left, but Dao Lord Speechless and Ding Luan were still in the sacrificial temple, waiting for the people from the Immortal Alliance to arrive.
They could go and contact them now. Presumably, Dao Lord Speechless and Ding Luan would show them some respect.
Mo Tiange shook her head. "There's no need to go through so much trouble.
There are many souls in this soul bead. Perhaps they know. "After saying that, she loosened her grip, and the soul bead floated in midair.
"I'll extract the soul. You stand guard."
Qin Xi nodded. With a wave of his hand, the red sword light split into countless sword lights, turning into a curtain wall that surrounded him.
At the same time, he retreated slightly, just in case.
Originally, even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't touch soul objects. However, Mo Tiange had a Soul Bead, so she could borrow its power and use it a little.
Mo Tiange made dazzling hand seals with both hands then gathered her aura and focused her mind. A wisp of pure spiritual aura condensed on her fingertips and pointed at the soul bead.
On the surface of the soul bead, the gray barrier of light was suddenly broken. Countless souls squeezed into this small crack, pushing against each other and squeezing out of shape.
Finally, a soul popped its head out and squeezed out from the damaged area with great difficulty.
Mo Tiange immediately waved her hand, drawing the other gray specks of light to this area and blocking the hole.
The soul that was squeezed out was a middle-aged man with a sluggish and stiff face. Looking at his appearance, Mo Tiange felt he didn't seem to have any spiritual intelligence.
Even so, she still asked, "Who are you? Tell me your name."
The middle-aged man turned his head in a daze and did not answer.
Mo Tiange asked again, "Who are you? State your name."
The soul still did not answer.
Could it be that it had already lost its intelligence?
It was highly possible that this Soul Pearl could restrain souls, or perhaps it could even refine souls.
After thinking for a while, she patiently asked again, "Who are you? Tell me your name."
The soul kept turning its head and finally stopped. "Am … Am I out?" His voice was stiff with a hint of disbelief.
It was good that it still had spiritual intelligence.
Mo Tiange heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, you've come out of the soul bead."
"Ah, ah …" Although her voice was stiff, Mo Tiange could still hear the joy in his voice.
She didn't know how long this person had been trapped in the Soul Pearl. Maybe he was trapped inside after he died?
After a long time, the soul calmed down and bowed. "Senior, thank you for giving me a new life. With this, I can enter the cycle of reincarnation again."
Mo Tiange said, "There's no hurry. I have something to ask you."
"Yes, Senior. Junior will tell you everything I know," the soul said respectfully.
The soul said respectfully. After a while, he had finally adapted to his current state and was no longer as stiff as before.
Mo Tiange was very satisfied with his attitude and asked, "From what you said, you were a cultivator?
May I know your identity and where did you come from? "
The soul said, "Yes, Junior is a cultivator from the Seven Mysteries Sect. I used to be in the Core Formation realm. After I fell on Demonic Mountain, my obsession didn't disperse. Later, for some reason, I was sucked into this thing and was trapped until now."
"The Seven Mysteries Sect?"
The two of them had strange expressions. They had heard of the Seven Mysteries Sect, but it was a sect from tens of thousands of years ago and had long disappeared.
The current seven great sects were passed down through tens of thousands of years of trials. There were also countless sects that used to be extremely prosperous but gradually declined until they disappeared.
The Seven Mysteries Sect was one of them.
In the history of the Celestial Pole, the Seven Mysteries Sect flourished 50,000 years ago and then gradually declined until its inheritance was severed 30,000 years ago.
This soul was a cultivator from the Seven Mysteries Sect, a cultivator from at least 30,000 years ago.
"Seniors, could it be that you and the Seven Mysteries Sect …"
Mo Tiange waved her hand and said, "We don't have any disputes with the Seven Mysteries Sect. It's just that the Seven Mysteries Sect has disappeared."
"Disappeared?" The voice suddenly rose. The soul was extremely surprised. "How could it disappear?
The Seven Mysteries Sect is a famous cultivation group in the Celestial Pole with many Nascent Soul elders. "
Mo Tiange said, "Since there's life, there's death. The Seven Mysteries Sect disappeared 30,000 years ago."
"Thirty thousand years …" The soul murmured. "So it has already been thirty thousand years …" He suddenly turned his head, looked towards the east, and shouted, "Master, disciple could not complete the task, I will never see you again …" The stiff voice, sounded a little sad.
After a while, the soul calmed down and bowed. "Senior, please ask."
Mo Tiange nodded and asked, "What is this Soul Bead?"
The soul answered, "To be honest, Junior also doesn't know what this bead is. Junior only knows that it was born in the Ghost City Realm and will automatically absorb some souls."
"The Ghost City Realm?"
"It's the place where the Ghost City is connected to the outside world," the soul explained.
"Junior learned from other souls that many souls entered the Ghost City through this place, but for some reason, they were all absorbed by this bead. That's how it came to be."
"Oh …" Mo Tiange's mind raced and she asked, "Then let me ask you. Several thousand years ago, was there a group of cultivators who came to the Ghost City Realm?"
The soul was at a loss. "Several thousand years ago …" He had been in the Soul Bead for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't know anything, Mo Tiange said, "It was a group of Nascent Soul cultivators."
"Ah!" The soul said, "I remember.
I don't know how long ago, there was a Nascent Soul cultivator who broke into the Ghost City and ran into the Ghost Gate. He was killed by more than ten Nascent Soul ghost cultivators and his soul was also absorbed by this bead! "
The two of them were overjoyed. Mo Tiange asked, "What was the lineup of that group of cultivators? Was there a woman among them?"
The soul said, "… It seemed to be five people, and there was indeed a female cultivator among them."
"What was her name?"
The soul shook his head. "There are more than ten million souls in this Soul Bead. Junior doesn't know."
Mo Tiange felt relieved. It didn't matter if she didn't know her name. If Xiao Zilan's soul was really in this bead, she could always find it.
"Thank you." Mo Tiange glanced at Qin Xi. Qin Xi nodded and withdrew the sword light around him. "You can go."
The soul bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior." Then it disappeared with the wind.
Since he was free from the Soul Bead, he could enter Samsara again as long as he dispersed his obsession.
If his obsession was still there, he could also become a ghost cultivator instead of being trapped inside, unable to live or die.
The sword light surrounded him again. Mo Tiange did the same thing and released another soul.
This time, her luck wasn't good. Maybe it was because she was trapped for too long, but this soul already lost its spiritual wisdom and became a wandering soul.
Helpless, Mo Tiange could only let it go.
After doing this several times, she finally released another soul with spiritual wisdom.
This soul didn't have any impression of this matter.
The Jade Rabbit rose and the Golden Crow fell. Day and night changed. On the second day, another soul finally had an impression of this matter, confirming what the first soul said.
Mo Tiange felt a little relieved. Since this matter was true, she could definitely find Xiao Zilan after searching all the souls in the Soul Bead.
It took a lot of time to try tens of thousands of souls one by one, but they had enough patience.
First, cultivators like them had to meditate for a very long time each time. Once they entered Closed Door Meditation, they might even enter Closed Door Meditation for more than a hundred years, so they'd long been very patient.
Second, this matter was related to their lives. Now that hope was right in front of them, how could they not be patient?
Questioning the souls, resting, and questioning again. Several days passed, and Mo Tiange became more and more excited.
As more and more souls confirmed this news, the souls in the Soul Bead became fewer and fewer, and the possibility of finding Xiao Zilan became higher and higher.
When she released the soul that traveled with Xiao Zilan, she finally confirmed this matter.
Mo Tiange didn't continue immediately after letting this soul go with the wind. Instead, she put away the Soul Bead, picked up a stone, and sat down.
Upon seeing this, Qin Xi withdrew his sword light and sat next to her.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Tiange's fingers trembled a little as she said, "I hope I wasn't happy for nothing."
Although she didn't start this matter until she reached the Nascent Soul realm, she often thought about this matter in the past hundred years.
After all, there was a restriction in her mind, just like there was a sword hanging over her head. Once the silk rope tied to the sword broke, her little life would be over.
She had outstanding qualifications, many treasures in her hands, and a bright future ahead of her. How could she be willing to let her fate be controlled by others?
Every time she thought about this matter, she wanted to tear Wanderer Ziwei's corpse into a thousand pieces.
Unfortunately, the corpse of the other party was long gone. The wisp of divine sense that was left behind was going to disappear sooner or later.
"That won't happen."
Qin Xi was much calmer. "In the past few days, we can be sure Xiao Zilan is inside."
Mo Tiange also knew the soul that traveled with Xiao Zilan had been found. As long as Xiao Zilan didn't lose her consciousness, she was inside.
It was just that this matter was too important, so she was a bit worried.
After resting for a while, the two of them stood up again and began to extract the soul.
Mo Tiange tore open the surface of the Soul Bead and muttered in her heart, "Senior Xiao Zilan, you mustn't lose your consciousness. The person who shared your pillow with you as deep as the sea is actually the enemy who destroyed your family. You can't take revenge, and you can't stay with your lover. With such an obsession, you won't lose your consciousness and become a wandering soul, right?"
As she thought about this, another soul broke free from the Soul Bead and appeared in front of her.
It was a young and beautiful woman wearing a plain white dress. Although it was only a soul, her spiritual aura was still threatening.
"Who are you? Tell me your name."
The soul looked up and quickly adapted to her condition. "Xiao Zilan thanks Fellow Daoist for giving me a second life."
Mo Tiange was stunned, but soon, she was overjoyed and asked, "You're Xiao Zilan?
Xuanji School's Xiao Zilan? "
