This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

The middle-aged man wiped the blood off his face and licked it a few times. His gloomy expression and the action of licking blood made him look like a devil from hell.

"He was able to destroy the soul imprint I had placed on that bastard. It seems that his soul power level is quite high. It's really strange. When did such a person appear in the Northwest Continent?"

"Maybe he's just a kind-hearted guy passing by. Ha, you like being a good guy so much? Then I'll let you know that being a good guy is not easy."

Just as the gloomy man was talking to himself, the pain "attacked" him again. A blood-red flower suddenly bloomed on his face, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

“Good, good, very good…” The cold man’s expression became even more ferocious, and he didn’t even bother to lick the blood on his face. “Although I don’t know who you are, you are really brave. You dare to destroy the soul imprint carved by me twice. I originally just wanted to kill you, but now I have changed my mind. I want to refine your soul and you will never have peace for the rest of your life!”

Time went back a few minutes ago. After the Void Devouring Flame destroyed the soul imprint on Linglong's body, he turned his gaze to Lingjue again.

"Mr. Xu Yan, what are you doing?"

"Of course it's [eradicating the roots]." Void Devouring Flame reminded, "If I were the one who placed the soul imprint, I would definitely not just leave with one, so based on this guess, I think something might have happened to you as well."

"Me?" Ling Jue pointed at himself, "But so far, I don't have any health problems."

"That's not necessarily true." After Void Devouring Flame finished speaking, his soul power directly and silently entered Ling Jue's body.

Just as he thought, Lingjue's soul was also imprinted, but unlike Linglong's imprint, the triggering time of this imprint mechanism is very long. It will not have any effect at the beginning, but as time goes on, it will gradually erode Lingjue's senses, including vision, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.

In the end, Lingjue will slowly die in the endless darkness and fear where he can neither see nor hear.

After Xuwu Tunyan said this, Lingjue's expression was indescribably complicated. She had never hurt anyone before, and she just wanted to live a peaceful life with her brother, but everything that had happened recently was impacting her heart.

"You don't need to feel burdened. If you want to worry, we can talk about it later. The first priority now is to solve this mark."

Void Devouring Flame spoke in a soothing voice, and then followed suit, using soul power as a guide to easily remove the mark, and then destroyed it in the same way.

At first, Xuwu Tunyan was worried about the so-called "butterfly effect", but now he has come to his senses. If there really is a butterfly effect, things should have changed when he went to the Xiao family in disguise, but the main storyline was not affected much, which means that his worries were unnecessary.

In this case, Void Devouring Flame doesn't mind spending a little more time on these "side quests".

"After I destroyed two soul imprints in a row, the caster must be injured to some extent. Although the injury is not serious, he will definitely not swallow this breath. Hehehe, he must be wishing to tear out my tendons and skin me alive. I'm waiting for you here, hehehehehe."

Just as Xuwu Tunyan thought, Lingmie really wanted to pull out his tendons and skin, refine his blood and turn it into soul, but at this moment he did not run to find him immediately, but was talking to another person.

"Brother Lingji, the two soul imprints I placed there were destroyed!"

"What?!" The man called Ling Ji was a little surprised, "Are you kidding me?"

“How could I joke about something like this?” Lingmie pointed at his wound that hadn’t healed yet. “Once the soul imprint collapses, it will backfire on me. And this has happened twice! There must be something wrong with the imprint I gave to those two little bastards!”

Ling Ji still didn't quite believe it: "It's possible that someone wanted to remove it, but ended up making things worse. Didn't you say that the soul imprint you placed has a self-destruct mechanism?"

“No!” Lingmie decisively overturned this conclusion. “If it was self-destruction, I would only sense the disappearance of the soul imprint and would not be affected in any way. In other words, those two little bastards are not dead.”

Ling Ji's expression immediately turned cold: "Can you sense the exact location?"

"Yes, it is in the northwest continent."

"The Northwest Continent? Isn't it famous for its low strength? I heard that a Dou Zong can be the king there. How can there be such a master in such a place?"

"I can't say for sure about this kind of thing, but isn't it said that the Xiao clan has a branch in that area?"

Although this speculation had been ruled out long before, Lingmie was still unsure in his mind, so he just spoke out this guess.

"What are you thinking? What about branches? Who doesn't know that the Xiao clan has long been in name only? If the Xiao clan really had a Dou Sheng, the news would have spread among the clan long ago. How could we not know about it?"

"Could it be the Soul Clan? They are the most noisy and active ones right now. They even set up a Soul Palace and expanded all over the continent. I heard that they didn't even let go of some small places."

Lingmie immediately came up with a new guess.

"This is even more impossible. The Soul Clan has always been cruel and brutal. How could they suddenly do something like this?"

"Maybe... there are other reasons. Big brother, you know that those two little bastards have half of Ling Ling's blood..."

These words reminded Ling Ji that although the Soul Clan was known for their brutality, in essence they would not do anything without a profit. Could it be that those two people had some secret that even the Soul Clan coveted?

"You're right. No matter what, we must go and see for ourselves what happened." Ling Ji stood up. "If they really have some secrets that the Soul Clan covets, we can take them for ourselves. Even if they don't, we have to [clean up the mess]."

"I will apply to leave the spirit world now, Lingmie, you will come with me."

"But, brother, even if it's us, we can't leave the spirit world without a good reason. What if..."

"There's no such thing as a surprise!" Ling Ji's voice increased a bit, "I've already prepared a reason. Let's say we found Ling Ling's trace. Don't forget, Ling Ling is still not completely dead. Those two are connected to him by blood, there's no reason why he can't feel it. Then we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Okay, okay, but...how are we going to explain this to the clan leader and the elders when the time comes?"

"Didn't you just mention the Soul Clan? Think about it, isn't the Soul Palace they established collecting high-quality souls from all over the world? We can just come back and say that we were targeted by the Soul Palace, and because we were not strong enough, Ling Ling [heroically died] to protect us. Then there will be no evidence, and with the notoriety of the Soul Palace, they will definitely not think we are lying. In this way, not only can we get rid of Ling Ling's lineage, but we won't have to bear any guilt. Death is like the extinguishing of a light. After a period of time, who will still remember Ling Ling?"

"Brother, this is a great plan. Let's set off now!" Lingmie hurriedly flattered him.
