Zongman: Cultivation System Hades

Chapter 4: Soul Searching!

"Sister Bofu, where are we going now?"

After greeting the girls, Sun Ce (Bofu) left the main force with Zuo Ci (Yuan Fang), Yu Ji, and Jianshan Huangquan, who was also curious about the new world.

They returned to the sky above the "man-eating" town again. Zuo Ci looked at the town below, frowned slightly, and asked Sun Ce, who was looking around with interest.

"Wait a minute, since there's a town here, the next one shouldn't be too far away. Let me take a look!"

Sun Ce waved his hand and looked towards the vast plain outside the forest.

Hearing this, the three women's eyes lit up and they all looked into the distance.

At the height they were at, they could see very far away.

Sure enough, the next moment Sun Ce exclaimed, "Found it... over there... there's a town over there!"

The three women were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Sun Ce's finger. Sure enough, they saw a black dot with the outline of a town standing in the distance.

"go!"

Sun Ce didn't hesitate at all. He waved to the three women, flapped his wings behind him, and flew towards the town like a gust of wind.

Seeing this, the three women quickly followed.

After flying about fifty kilometers, a city even larger than the towns they had encountered before appeared in front of the four women.

However, at this moment, the four girls' faces lost all their joy.

"What a tragic city... How many people died?"

The city was like an ancient city in the Middle Ages, surrounded by tall walls. In front of the walls was a road paved entirely with bones, and at one end of the road was the forest they had flown from.

Looking at the piles of bones, the three women fell silent, and only Sun Ce was in the mood to speak.

"It seems that humans in this world are not having an easy time either!"

Hearing this, Jianshan Huangquan also sighed.

Especially when she saw the souls wandering around the skeletons, she could feel the despair emanating from them. It was hard to imagine what kind of despair these people had experienced before their death.

"Do you want to go into the city and take a look?"

Zuo Ci looked at the city wall, which was a little broken but still had human soldiers standing there in full armor and holding bows and arrows, and asked.

"Let's collect those souls below first..."

Yu Ji looked at the city, then at the road paved with bones below, and said with a frown.

"Yes, we can't let go of so many souls."

Jianshan Huangquan nodded, flapped his wings, and dived towards the road of bones below.

Seeing this, the three women naturally did not want to fall behind. After all, their souls were related to their future strength improvement.

Sympathy is sympathy, but we must not neglect the improvement of our strength.

So, the four girls, whose moods were originally affected by the tragic scene before them, gradually smiled during the process of collecting souls.

There are so many souls. The number of souls collected from the Road of Skeletons alone is hundreds of thousands!

"Tsk tsk... I even wonder if this world specializes in wholesale souls. Hundreds of thousands at a time. If you didn't know, you'd think this was the underworld!"

Isayama Yomi looked at the little lights on his gray wings. He didn't know when a Pocky appeared in his hand. He held it in his mouth and looked at the three women who had returned after collecting the souls from all around and said.

"Maybe it's because this place is close to that forest, and wars often happen there, so there are so many souls!"

"But don't you find it strange? Why are there only human souls here, and no animal souls at all?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji looked at the skeletons at his feet. These skeletons were obviously those of adults.

Moreover, the body had been processed after death - otherwise there would not be only bones here, there should also be clothes, weapons, etc., but now there is nothing. It is obvious that the person was left here naked, or was stripped naked after death.

There was another thing that puzzled her: there were no animal skeletons here except human skeletons.

Perhaps the animal bones were buried with human bones, but the bodies can be buried, but what about the souls?

They collected human souls smoothly, but they didn't find a single animal soul.

"Will those animal souls be carried in along with their corpses?" Sun Ce said, pointing to the huge city not far away.

"After a living thing dies, shouldn't its soul leave the body? Even the soul of a beast shouldn't continue to follow its own corpse, right?"

Yu Ji said doubtfully after hearing this.

"That's not necessarily true. Some souls will indeed follow their own corpses for a period of time..."

"Of course, I don't know if this is the case in this world!"

After all, Isayama Yomi often deals with evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, and she is from a long-standing family of exorcists, so she has some research on the soul, but she is not sure whether her experience can be used in this different world.

"We'll know if we go in and take a look... If the beast souls really followed the corpses into the city, then their spirits can only be inside."

When Sun Ce heard what Jianshan Huangquan said, he pointed to the city and said.

The three women looked at each other and nodded in unison, flapping their wings and flying towards the city ahead.

Go through the city gate?

Sorry, they don't intend to reveal themselves, so why go through the city gate? Wouldn't it be better to go in quietly like this?

Soon, the four women stood on the top of the city gate wall, looking down at the bustling city with people coming and going.

Seeing the scene of the city, the four women were stunned.

"Why does it feel so out of place here?"

Yu Ji looked at the bustling city below and frowned.

The previous town was full of starving people, but the pedestrians here all had rosy faces and did not look hungry at all. From time to time, children could be seen playing on the streets, which formed a sharp conflict with the road of bones behind them.

"What a pity! If only Master Ye Yue were here, Master Ye Yue would know what's going on here if he just read the memories of those souls!"

Upon hearing this, Jianshan Huangquan frowned slightly and looked at the city below.

The scene inside the city was far from what she had imagined. It didn't look like a city in troubled times, but rather like a prosperous age. However, the road of bones behind them and the hundreds of thousands of souls in the wings were not illusions. This made her very confused, and she couldn't help but sigh and said.

"How about we ask someone?" Yu Ji asked.

"I remember there's a soul-searching technique in the underworld? Does anyone know how to do it?"

However, at this time, Sun Bo looked at the three women and asked.

"Won't……"

"will not!"

Yu Ji and Zuo Ci were both stunned and shook their heads. Jianshan Huangquan looked at Sun Ce Bofu in surprise.

"There is such a spell? How come I don't know about it?"

She hurriedly searched among her inheritance marks.

"Yuan Fang, please look for it. If it can be used, we won't have to go through so much trouble!"

Sun Ce Bofu said as he looked at Zuo Ci who had the best magic talent among the people present.

"it is good!"

Zuo Ci Yuanfang did not refuse. He nodded and began to search for this technique in the inheritance mark.

"It really exists... But this spell... isn't it a little too insidious?"

When Zuo Ci Yuan Fang was searching, Jianshan Huangquan had already found her, but when she saw the introduction of the soul-searching technique, she frowned.

The introduction to soul-searching mentioned that soul-searching would cause certain harm to the person being cast.

Ordinary people may directly become idiots or fools, and extraordinary people may also have weak souls, and the stronger the strength, the milder the symptoms.

Obviously, the residents of this town look like ordinary people. Using soul-searching techniques on them is equivalent to destroying their lives with your own hands, isn't it?

"Aren't there extraordinary people in this world? Let's just find them!"

Sun Ce did not forget what Takagi Yuriko and the others had said before, and said with a smile.

"Uh... well, you still get to show off!"

Jianshan Huangquan was stunned when he heard this, and gave Sun Ce Bofu a thumbs up speechlessly.

"How's it going? Can I study?"

Just at this moment, Zuo Ci Yuanfang opened his eyes, and Sun Ce hurriedly asked him when he saw this.

"Okay...give me some time!"

Zuo Ci Yuanfang nodded and said.

"no problem!"

The three women nodded in unison upon hearing this.

"How about we go in and take a look around first? And see where those beast souls are?"

Yu Ji looked at Zuo Ci Yuan Fang, who was sitting cross-legged on the city wall and began to practice soul-searching techniques, then pointed at the city and looked at Jianshan Huangquan and Sun Ce Bofu.

"You guys go ahead, I'll stay here to guard this girl!"

To Yu Ji's surprise, Sun Ce shook his head and refused.

"Wait... It's safer to act together. After all, we don't know if there are any beings in this world that we can't deal with. It would be troublesome if we were caught alone."

Isayama Yomi also nodded in agreement.

"Then...okay then!"

Yu Ji looked at Zuo Ci Yuanfang, who had his eyes closed and was quickly forming seals with his hands. He thought for a moment and said nothing more.

So the three women stood on the top of the city wall and waited quietly. Time passed as they waited. The originally blue sky gradually turned yellow, and a layer of gorgeous fiery clouds came into view.

"Phew! Alright! It's ready now!"

Just as the three women were admiring the beauty of the fiery clouds in the sky, Zuo Ci, who had closed his eyes to study magic, let out a long sigh, stood up from the ground, looked at the three women and said.

"Is it finally done? That's great... Let's go find an unlucky guy and give it a try!"

Hearing Zuo Ci Yuan Fang's voice, the three girls quickly turned around and looked, just in time to see the girl's big watery eyes. Sun Ce Bofu also smiled and started talking!

Chapter 5 The Devil is coming!

At the same time, in the manor of the anime world, Ye Yue, who was lying on the sofa and stroking the cat quietly, suddenly frowned slightly.

He gently placed the little Hime in his arms aside, stood up from the sofa, and looked towards the door.

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang.

"I'll open the door!"

Hearing the doorbell, Vermouth walked out from the side hall and prepared to open the door.

"Let's go together... After all, the person coming is not ordinary!" Seeing this, Ye Yue chuckled and walked towards the door.

Ye Yue's words made Vermouth stunned. She looked at him in confusion, then reacted.

The only person who can attract so much attention from Ye Yue, a powerful being in the other world, is probably someone at the same level as Ye Yue.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be shocked, but she didn't show it on her face, and just followed Ye Yue.

The two of them quickly walked out of the gate and came to the iron gate outside.

Looking through the iron gate, Ye Yue saw several figures outside, especially the young man standing in the front wearing a red suit and red hair. Her eyebrows slightly raised, and then a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I never thought that my little place could attract the visit of the devil Lucifer!"

That's right, the person standing in front of the door was none other than Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the four great demon kings who had appeared in Ye Yue's perception but had never met before.

"I guess you are Mr. Ye Yue! I came here to thank you for saving my sister in the other world."

When the iron gate opened, Sirzechs's gaze instantly fell on Hazuki.

The aura of the same level made him immediately guess that Ye Yue was a transcendent who had surpassed the gods like himself, so he said with a kind smile on his face.

"I see... please come in!"
