The moment Wang Lin said this, Zhou Zihong and company's expressions changed greatly. This was especially true for Lin Tao. His face immediately turned pale and he quickly backed up. When the wandering soul heard the order, it charged at Lin Tao without a word.
Zhou Zihong bit her lower lip. She wanted to stop it, but she couldn't open her mouth. Senior apprentice brother Yang let out a sigh as a complex expression flashed across his face.
Lin Tao used his full speed. He didn't run far away, but frantically circled the area, trying to avoid the wandering soul. He knew that even if he escaped, he wouldn't be able to outrun the wandering soul. Even if he did escape, the foreign battleground was so big that he was certain he wouldn't be able to return to the transfer array alive.
Thinking about this, he quickly said, "Senior, I don't have any relationship with Mai Liang. We've been in the same sect for many years, but we rarely talk. Senior, please spare me. I … I'm willing to become your slave. Senior, please spare me."
Lin Tao anxiously said. The wandering soul was already very close to him. Wang Lin looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. He waved his hand and the wandering soul immediately stopped.
Lin Tao's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He didn't dare to wipe it, but respectfully stood to the side and said, "Senior, you … you must be an expert from a high ranked cultivation country. I, Lin Tao, am honored to be your slave. I won't have any other thoughts."
With that, he formed a seal with his hand and pressed it on his forehead. A drop of crystal clear blood came out from between his eyebrows and slowly floated toward Wang Lin.
After the drop of blood appeared, Lin Tao's body suddenly became weak. He nervously looked at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin waved his hand and caught the drop of blood. His gaze fell on senior apprentice brother Yang.
When Lin Tao saw Wang Lin accept the blood pearl, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his little life had been saved. Lin Tao was very smart, and it could be said that he was the first person to notice Wang Lin's strangeness. He guessed that Ma Liang was already dead, and this junior brother in front of him had been possessed by someone. However, he didn't dare to say it out loud, nor did he dare to warn Yang and Zhang.
Lin Tao knew very well that following Wang Lin was the only way for him to survive. Even if Wang Lin didn't kill him, as long as he chased him away, he would definitely die. Therefore, there was no need to weigh or consider this matter. The moment Wang Lin ordered the Wandering Souls to kill him, Lin Tao understood that the other party had already discovered that he knew the truth. Therefore, he didn't play dumb and question him, because that would only speed up his death.
This was Lin Tao's cleverness. He willingly became a slave and even offered a trace of his soul and blood essence to the other party.
After obtaining his blood essence, as long as Wang Lin willed it, his soul would be destroyed. However, Lin Tao had no choice. In order to continue following Wang Lin, he could only do this.
At this moment, his body moved and he quickly arrived next to Wang Lin. The flying sword flashed and the tip of the sword pointed at Yang and Zhang. He did this without any hesitation. He knew that since he had become a slave, he had to do what a slave should do, even if it was just to put on a show.
The man named Yang let out a bitter smile and let out a sigh. Without a word, he slapped his forehead and a drop of soul and blood essence flew out toward Wang Lin.
He noticed that Wang Lin was acting strangely and guessed that he had been possessed, so he wasn't any slower than Lin Tao.
Along the way, he had been scared witless. Now that everything had been made clear, he decided to become Wang Lin's slave. After all, what was dignity compared to life and death? Not to mention, Wang Lin was a senior from a high ranked cultivation country, someone that even the Wandering Souls were afraid of. If he followed Wang Lin, he might have a chance in the future.
After giving out the blood essence, he looked at his junior apprentice sister Zhou Zihong with a complicated expression and said, "Junior apprentice sister, you …"
Zhou Zihong waved her hand and looked at Wang Lin. She pursed her lips and whispered, "Senior, when you … when you possessed Ma Liang, was he dead or alive?" With that, her eyes were calm as she stared at Wang Lin.
She had wanted to ask this question the moment she noticed that there was something wrong with Wang Lin.
Wang Lin looked at her and said, "Dead."
Zhou Zihong let out a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if what Wang Lin said was true or false, she didn't want to ask anymore. Her intuition told her that Wang Lin wasn't lying. In his eyes, the three of them were probably even less than ants, so there was no need for him to lie to them.
Thus, without saying a word, she gave out her soul and blood essence.
Three drops of blood essence floated in front of Wang Lin. He opened his mouth and sucked them in. Three weak spots of light appeared in his divine sense. With just a thought, he could kill the three of them.
Actually, on the way here, Wang Lin didn't hide anything at all. Anyone who was familiar with Ma Liang would notice that something was wrong. Plus, the fact that the wandering souls were afraid of him meant that with just a little bit of thought, they could guess what was going on.
Wang Lin wasn't a bloodthirsty person, but if the three of them weren't smart, then there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let anyone know that he had possessed Ma Liang's body. As for what happened after they left the foreign battleground, it was easy to explain. After all, 50 years could completely change a person's personality.
After Zhou Zihong, Yang Xiong, and Lin Tao became slaves, their tense nerves immediately relaxed. Standing behind Wang Lin, Zhou Zihong looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression. She knew that she was very beautiful. Back in the Wargod Temple, many people pursued her, but she rejected them all.
Zhou Zihong once swore that before she reached the Core Formation stage, she wouldn't choose a dual cultivation partner.
But now, she had become a slave. If the other party asked to sleep with her … Thinking about this, Zhou Zihong's heart became even more confused.
What she didn't know was that Wang Lin wasn't the least bit interested in this.
After collecting the three souls and blood essence, Wang Lin stared at the wandering soul. After rubbing his chin, his divine sense immediately contacted his three neighbors.
"I want this wandering soul."
The three neighbors were silent for a while. After a long time, they replied.
There's one thing you don't understand. As a 'soul', you can't leave this place. "
"Wandering souls are also a type of soul. It's just that they can't compare to us in terms of quality. But since they are souls, they have the power of souls. Any creature with a soul is its food. Similarly, they are our food."
"Us foreign souls can't directly devour other people's souls. We can only devour wandering souls to strengthen ourselves."
"With the power of the soul, those low-level Immortal Cultivators don't have any power to resist. Even if high-level Immortal Cultivators aren't afraid, if there are too many Wandering Souls, the result will be the same. And for us, Wandering Souls are weapons, slaves, and food."
Have you ever thought about what will happen if a soul enters the living space? "
"New soul, I can tell you very clearly that if a wandering soul enters the living space, and there aren't many of them, then it will be a catastrophe. In the living space, wandering souls are called demons."
"If there are too many of them, then the living space will become the new Nirvana space. That is where we were before.
Among those wandering souls, one of them will eventually become a soul devourer. "
"Between Nirvana and the living space, there are laws of the world. Anyone who tries to cross the boundary will be killed."
Wang Lin had never heard of such things. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then what is this foreign battleground?"
"This is a chaotic place created by the cultivators of the living space. It exists between the living space and Nirvana. Even so, wandering souls still can't come out of the cracks in the space. Only when this place is about to collapse and we enter will they be able to come in."
"So, you can't even leave, let alone those wandering souls."
"If you like the wandering soul, I can give it to you. But in the end, you still have to return to the Nirvana space with us. This is the mission of a soul devourer."
The voices of the three neighbors slowly disappeared. Wang Lin stood there in a daze, his expression uncertain.
When Zhou Zihong and the other two saw Wang Lin stand there for a long time without saying a word, their hearts skipped a beat and they immediately became nervous.
In his heart, Lin Tao was wondering if the other party was still worried and wanted to silence him. What should he do?
Zhou Zihong was thinking about the matter of sleeping with him, and her face revealed a conflicted expression.
Yang Xiong was even more frightened. He was not only worried about his own life, but also a trace of fear. He was afraid that the other party would abandon Mai Liang and take over his body.
Wang Lin's expression was gloomy. He flew forward, heading straight for the transportation array. Zhou Zihong and the other two looked at each other and quickly followed.
As for the wandering soul, it carefully followed from a distance.
The further they went, the more corpses they saw. But every time Wang Lin got close, the wandering souls would quickly move out of the way, not daring to stop him.
Such a strange scene naturally attracted the attention of the other cultivators who had fled here. No one knew who took the lead, but Wang Lin didn't even look at them and continued flying.
The wandering souls hesitated for a bit and carefully followed the last cultivator. After seeing that Wang Lin didn't stop them, they all charged forward. In the blink of an eye, miserable screams could be heard as the cultivators scattered and returned to their own groups.
One day later, the transportation array was in sight. There were even more corpses and wandering souls everywhere. As a result, this place had become a forbidden zone. No cultivators dared to come here. Even if there were some lucky ones who managed to get here, the moment they entered, they would be attacked by the wandering souls.
Within a radius of five kilometers, besides the early survivors in the transportation array and Wang Lin's group of four, there was no one else alive.
Looking at the transportation array from afar, Wang Lin pondered a bit and said to Zhou Zihong and the other two, "The three of you, enter the transportation array."
The three of them didn't dare to refuse. They braced themselves and flew forward. Luckily, the wandering souls seemed to have received orders and didn't stop the three of them. Seeing that they had smoothly entered the transportation array, Wang Lin stepped back and found a place to sit down. He stared at the transportation array, his eyes flashing.
Wang Lin reached out and a trembling wandering soul was sucked over. Wang Lin reached out and pointed at the transportation array. The wandering soul immediately struggled, but it still obeyed Wang Lin's order and rushed toward the transportation array.
