I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Where is...where?"

Pushing open the door and entering the temple, Guan Xuelan couldn't help but look around with wide eyes, her eyes full of fear and vigilance. Yuchi Chunlei and Xu Wanqing, who had entered the secret realm before her, were also carefully observing the surrounding situation.

Just quickly...

"Is this the White Tiger Secret Realm?"

"Why is it so dark?"

"It doesn't feel like a secret realm to me. We've been to the Canglong Secret Realm and the Suzaku Secret Realm. How could a secret realm be so small?"

"No, this is not a temple, just like the two temples we entered before, except that the statues and chains are still there."

"Our physical bodies are still here, not ghost bodies!"

"..."

The three were shocked to find that they did not enter the next White Tiger Secret Realm directly as ghosts as they had previously guessed, but instead entered the temple intact.

They could even see the white tiger statue enshrined in the temple.

as well as.

The chain connecting to the deep well outside is intact!

This……

What is the situation?

According to previous speculation, they shouldn't be here, right?

"Search first, search carefully. Since we are in this place, it means that where we are now is the key!" Guan Xuelan was the most patient and gave orders immediately.

After all, she is the Supreme, so Guan Xuelan is full of confidence.

Although she did not turn into a ghost, which was somewhat different from her previous preparation, it was a good thing to stay in this place with the supreme power. At least she did not have to face the previous feeling of powerlessness. Even if she encountered danger again, she could solve it with her fists.

However, her confidence soon encountered setbacks.

because……

"This place is impenetrable. I found nothing."

"The door can't be opened. It seems to be locked."

"We seem to be trapped."

The temple was not big to begin with, and after the three of them conducted a detailed investigation, they immediately discovered a result that made them uneasy.

They were trapped.

Unable to push open the door or walk out, they were like bugs trapped in a box, unable to do anything. No matter how much damage they tried to do to the place, or to break the chain, they were unable to do it. In other words, no matter how much damage they caused to the place, it would be restored to its original state in an instant.

This situation magnified the anxiety of the three people, who were already feeling the effects of the pitch-black darkness and the rapidly depleting spiritual energy.

"us……"

"Will we be trapped here forever?"

Yuchi Chunlei asked with a look of despair and worry on her face.

Xu Wanqing beside her shook her head: "I'm afraid we won't be trapped forever. At least after our spirit stones are used up, our essence will start to drain away until we are exhausted to death."

This is worse than being trapped forever.

At least Yuchi Chunlei and Guan Xuelan both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

After they entered the abyss, their spiritual energy was consumed even faster than outside, and the consumption in this temple was even more frightening.

Being exhausted to death...

It's really possible!

……

While the three masters and apprentices were in despair, Gu Xiu, who had also pushed the door and entered the temple, was looking at the snow-covered world in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

where is this?

Why am I here?

Why is it different from before?

A series of doubts arose in Gu Xiu's mind, making him a little unsure.

"Who is coming?"

"Suling Palace is doing business. Any unauthorized souls, get out of here immediately!"

"What a bold ghost! How dare you break into my Soul Soul Palace formation? You're courting death!"

Before Gu Xiu could figure out the problem, angry shouts rang out, interrupting his thoughts. He glanced sideways and saw himself standing on a massive net. Behind it, eight disciples dressed in Suling Palace robes sat cross-legged in eight directions.

as well as……

In this huge net, He Mengyun has been suppressed to the point of almost losing his soul!

Noticing Gu Xiu's gaze, He Mengyun seemed to be opening her mouth to say something, but unfortunately, her soul was already extremely weak, and she was only one step away from death, so she couldn't say anything at the moment.

However, Gu Xiu could still vaguely see that she seemed to be repeating two words.

Run away!

Gu Xiu quickly shifted his gaze away from her and looked towards the end of the spider web formation. He glanced at the soul-collecting bottle that was still continuously extracting souls and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Suling Palace..." Gu Xiu began. His voice was very calm, yet it carried a strange penetrating power, clearly reaching the ears of the Suling Palace disciples. "If I remember correctly, the forging of the Soul-Gathering Bottle requires at least tens of thousands of mortal souls to be successful. Moreover, every sixty years, it must devour more souls to maintain its quality. How long have you at Suling Palace been using this Soul-Gathering Bottle?"

His words were plain, but contained a hint of questioning.

Being stared at like this, the eight disciples of the Suling Palace all changed their expressions slightly, but soon, one of them spoke first:

"What are you doing standing still!"

"Since this ignorant wild soul is seeking death, then we should refine him together with the others. This will provide the Soul-Gathering Bottle with an extra source of nutrients!"

The Soul-Gathering Bottle was something they couldn't easily bring out. If anyone outside knew about it, even the Soul-Reflecting Palace would be in trouble. However, this was the White Tiger Secret Realm, a realm already occupied by the Soul-Reflecting Palace. They had nothing to fear. If anyone saw it, they would simply eliminate them.

Not to mention a ghost?

In an instant, the eight people pinched their hands and the black spider soul-refining web that enveloped He Mengyun suddenly shone brightly, emitting a ray of pale green evil light, like the sharp claws of a poisonous spider, and suddenly swept towards Gu Xiu.

This evil light is specifically designed to harm the soul, and ordinary ghosts will collapse when it touches them.

Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow. He had already realized his current situation. For some reason, he had transformed into a ghost body, and even a relatively weak ghost body. In fact, normally, a normal cultivator would not be able to see him at all, but in this Suling Palace formation, he had nowhere to hide and was discovered directly.

This situation is not very good.

He Mengyun next to him was extremely anxious.

She could naturally see how terrifying this method was, and wanted to do her best to help, but she could do nothing.

He could only watch helplessly as the evil light approached Gu Xiu.

We must wipe him out alive!

Even though Gu Xiu had already taken up his stance and was obviously planning to dodge.

Can……

For some unknown reason, at the moment when the evil light reached Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu, who had originally planned to dodge, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and then stood there motionless, allowing the evil light to penetrate his body!

This scene.

He Mengyun's eyes were bloodshot when he saw this.

The eight disciples of Suling Palace who were also watching couldn't help but smile:

"I was shocked. I thought this ghost's consciousness was so intact that it might be very difficult to deal with. I didn't expect it to be so easy to deal with."

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot is courting death."

"In your next life, please stop meddling in other people's business."

"..."

In their view, Gu Xiu, who was swept by the evil light, was just a small episode, and their words were full of disdain.

only……

The lively conversation among the few people did not last long and suddenly came to an end. Instead, they stared at Gu Xiu with wide eyes and an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

because.

They discovered that the ghost, which had been swept away by the evil light and even penetrated its body, did not disappear. Instead, it still stood there, as if the evil light that had just passed through its body had not caused any harm to it.

Can……

How can this be? ? ?

Even Gu Xiu couldn't help but lower his head and look at his "body" that was penetrated by the evil light but remained unharmed. A hint of surprise seemed to flash across his eyes, but he had the answer in his heart.

"Although I only lit three soul lamps, the flames I used are all rare divine fires. Although the improvement seems very weak at first glance, it has actually had a huge impact on my soul. It is not very obvious at other times, but this time, although this ghost body is not my own, it is condensed based on my own strength. At least this power blessed by the three magic lamps still exists even in this situation."

"This means that even though I am a ghost, I am not completely passive!"

This time when he was rebuilding his soul, the materials he used to light the soul lamp were all divine fires that were hard to find in the world, which brought him extremely strong support, so that even though he was only a ghost now.

But it's not completely powerless to resist.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Gu Xiu looked up at the eight disciples of Suling Palace, or rather, the leading disciple who had just given the orders.

The disciple met Gu Xiu's gaze and his eyelids twitched slightly.

next moment.

Gu Xiu suddenly raised his right hand and shook hands with the leading disciple.

There was no spiritual energy surging, and no magic spells being chanted.

This is not a substantive attack.

Can be biased.

The moment Gu Xiu clenched his fists, the leading disciple of Suling Palace suddenly let out a shrill scream. The magic formula in his hand collapsed on the spot. He held his head with both hands, obviously in great pain. Even wisps of black soul smoke were emitting from his seven orifices.

The whole person seemed to be squeezed and torn by an invisible force, and the origin of his soul was suffering a terrifying attack!

This scene.

The seven disciples of Suling Palace standing nearby were all stunned:

"Is this a ghost? How could a ghost be able to do this?"

"No, no, this is impossible!"

"He's just a ghost, how could he have the ability to attack the soul and even retain his memories?"

The Suling Palace was originally known for its research on spiritual methods. It even dared to say that it was the most powerful sect and holy land in this world. However, when it saw this scene, it could not help but hide its shock. It was completely beyond the cognition of this group of ordinary disciples.

In fact, not to mention them, even Gu Xiu himself was a little surprised at this moment:

"Perhaps my soul is even more powerful than I imagined?"

"Even if he's using a ghost body, he can still use it as if it were his own arm. If I had the level of cultivation I had five hundred years ago, I wouldn't have been killed directly, but it certainly wouldn't have been so easy, let alone using my spiritual attack methods so easily."

"But now, with just three soul lamps, there have been such huge changes."

"That……"

"If all seven soul lamps are lit..."

"Is it possible for me to break the restriction that my soul cannot grow?"
