Chapter 742: Chapter 737: Trace of Ming Sect
“Shadow of the Heavy Shadow… this na doesn’t match his looks at all.”
Bai Qi made a comnt, then looked at Jerry, saying, “How’s the progress, have you figured out this fellow’s backstory yet?”
“Almost there, but it’s safe to say that this is a very powerful mythical spiritual creature, um, very powerful indeed.”
Jerry unusually emphasized it, even ever-fearless Beta fell silent.
Though it was only a mont, they were indeed suppressed quite brutally in the aspect of spirit power, in an utterly defenseless manner.
The crucial part was, the state of this golden soul body seed to be the one they admired the most after their ascendance to emperor status, a state not constrained by a physical body.
Suffice to say, they encountered a pioneer.
“It seems this ‘Shadow’ is indeed very powerful.”
Seeing Husky’s state, Bai Qi understood in his heart.
It wasn’t as if they hadn’t encountered a mythical spiritual creature before. The Heart Butterfly they encountered in the past had equally strong spirit power, but Husky had never been this affected.
This ti, he was truly shaken.
“Actually, it’s not that we didn’t gain anything.”
Just then, Schuck suddenly picked up the rabbit’s corpse that no longer had any spirit in it. There was a flash in his eyes and a digital soul was infused into it.
Earlie, the body of the rabbit beca active again, as though guided by sothing, headed towards the deeper part of the forest.
“Bai Qi, what have you done?”
Noticing this, Bai Wuji felt curious and asked.
“This rabbit is clearly one of his host bodies, but it seems to have stayed here for quite a while, even leaving part of its spirit power within it.”
A flicker in Schuck’s eyes and a virtual map appeared suddenly. On the map, a golden dot was moving rapidly.
“Found it!”
Bai Wuji and Bai Qi exchanged a glance, imdiately mounted the Golden-winged Roc and disappeared on the spot.
…
The depths of the Heavy Shadow Forest.
A golden soul whisked through the forest rapidly encountering countless ferocious beasts. So even made eye contact with him, yet they turned a blind eye.
Shadow, the ultimate spirit, unless one’s spirit power was adequately imnse, regular creatures wouldn’t even be able to sense his presence.
But this ti, an exception occurred with Shadow.
While Shadow was frantically fleeing, trying to distance himself from those two terrifying humans, the surrounding darkness suddenly beca a solid form. Shadow, still in his soul body form, bumped right into the shadow.
This shadow was like a swamp, extrely sticky. Shadow was montarily unable to struggle free.
Seeing this, Shadow finally opened his eyes, where one could vaguely see infinite living beings flashing within.
Eventually, the fluctuation in Shadow’s eyes ceased, and his body emitted a grand radiance, similar to a tiny sun, and then suddenly vanished into thin air.
Chirp chirp!
Later, an amazed and terrified cry ca from the forest. A small creature, its body filled with black rune marks, struggled to reveal itself.
“I didn’t expect the mythical ‘Shadow’ to be like this. Is our leader’s arrangent a bit too much?”
A few differing height figures ca out from the darkness. Borrowing the twinkling rune light on the small creature’s body, one could vaguely see ghost tattoos on the backs of their hands.
“Don’t be careless. If it weren’t for him entering his Reincarnation Period, we’d all be dead already.”
One of them, using a husky voice explained, walked next to the small creature, swiftly locked it into a cage, and sighed with relief.
“Shadow is the only heart-touching beast in the world, capable of freely traversing between the souls of living beings. If he so desires, he can render you an idiot instantly.”
“Is it that exaggerated?”
The first man imdiately beca nervous, quietly increasing his distance with the cage.
“There’s nothing to worry about now. All these baits are specially modified by our leader. Unless we break them or he restores his legendary strength, he can’t escape from this body.”
The husky voice n shook the cage in his hand, saying, “It’s getting late, we should report back to the leader ASAP. If we delay his plan, we’re dead!”
“Yes!”
“Are you all in a rush? Want to help?”
A teasing voice sounded from behind them, they exchanged glances and then unanimously scattered in different directions.
But before they could make a move, a ray of golden light flashed, and n along with their pets were all knocked unconscious and lay in a pile.
The cage with Shadow in it now fell into Bai Wuji’s hands.
“Didn’t expect that Shadow could be captured like this. Good thing we ca on ti, otherwise, it would have fallen into their hands.”
Bai Wuji took a few glances at Shadow through the grates, clearly a little surprised.
“These people obviously ca prepared. A rune that solidifies souls, I rember correctly these types of runes are normally used on undead creatures?”
Bai Qi picked up a few petrified small animals from nearby. Their bodies were tattooed with similar runes.
Shadow could transfer his spirit into different creatures, and these people apparently figured this out. They managed to set up a trap in advance, so as long as he transfers, he will inevitably be trapped.
The thod was quite good, but in this era, those capable of using these types of runes don’t seem to be good people…
“Indeed, only the Ming Sect could manage sothing like this.”
Bai Wuji glanced at the ghost tattoos on their hands and said, “Daring to co here, the Ming Sect is becoming bolder.”
“Why do I feel like Big Brother Bai, you knew this already?”
Bai Qi glanced at Bai Wuji, who scratched his head in embarrassnt, saying, “I only heard that the Ming Sect was looking for this little guy. I thought it wise to act first, never imagining that I’d bump into both of them.”
“Do you think I believe that?”
Bai Qi chuckled and took the cage from Bai Wuji.
The cage was made of a special tal that seed to absorb spirit power, and it was also covered with runes for capturing souls.
Clearly, even with Shadow trapped in its body, the Ming Sect was still not at ease.
“To steal a legendary creature that can freely transfer its soul… Why is it that no matter the era, this heretic organization always stirs up trouble?”
Bai Qi sighed, suddenly opened the cage, and released Shadow.
Then, to Bai Wuji’s surprise, Bai Qi even wiped the runes off the little creature.
“Bai Qi, the people from the Ming Sect must be nearby. Doing this will likely make it easy for him to be recaptured!”
Bai Wuji tried to intervene imdiately upon seeing this, but the golden soul body had already flown out of the little creature.
However, this ti, the little creature did not escape as quickly as before. Instead, it hovered around Bai Qi’s head, as if it were curious about this human.
“It really worked!”
Seeing that Shadow did not flee, Bai Qi curved his lips into a smile. He amplified his infusion of spirit power into the Evolution Egg. A special aura continuously emanated from him, enhancing Shadow’s fondness towards him.
At the sa ti, the soul of the Husky also left its body, rging its aura into the Evolution Egg, and gradually approached Shadow.
Finally, the Husky made contact with Shadow for the first ti. Shadow didn’t resist at all and instead nuzzled Bai Qi’s head in a friendly manner.
“Done.”
Seeing this, Bai Qi also quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
Perhaps he could use those runes to trap Shadow, but this was clearly a temporary solution. Who knows how long the reincarnation period ntioned by those people from the Ming Sect will last.
If this guy suddenly recovered his legendary strength and caused turmoil in his soul, it would be too late to regret.
“Tsk Tsk… Indeed, it was correct to invite you here. This ti, I can finally repay my bar tab.”
Bai Wuji’s face lit up with excitent, as if he was already reminiscing about the days of drinking rrily. Yet, his excitent was promptly doused by Bai Qi.
“Don’t forget the tab from the ti before last…”
“The ti before last…”
Bai Wuji stood up, stretched, and a cold smile appeared on his face. “Let’s use this guy to offset the tab from the ti before last!”
After he had finished speaking, the Golden-winged Roc turned into a golden Fangtian Halberd and fell into Bai Wuji’s hands. Bai Wuji transford into a golden streak, heading towards a dark corner.
Then, another cold, legendary aura emanated from the forest. A series of fighting sounds continually reached Bai Qi’s ears.
Catching a highly elusive target like Shadow would naturally require more than a few underlings from the Ming Sect. Of course, soone powerful was trailing them.
“But is it really ok to just leave here all alone…”
Bai Qi looked around. By now, he was surrounded by countless undead creatures, and their numbers were still increasing.
Awooo! Awooo!
(Leave these undead creatures to !)
Seeing the growing number of undead around them, Beta volunteered, scaring Shadow in the process.
“You better keep this little guy calm. If he runs away, you’ll answer for it.”
Bai Qi tossed Beta aside and summoned Gamma out again.
“I’ll leave these things to you, Gamma.”
Kapu kapu!
(Okay, master!)
…
“Whew~ It’s been a long ti since I’ve had a workout. I’m not quite used to it.”
After a while, Bai Wuji returned, dragging a man who was beaten black and blue. His face revealed an unspeakable relief.
Until he saw Bai Qi, who was leisurely eating grilled at under a white glow.
“Bai Qi, while I was over there fighting tooth and nail, you’re here eating grilled at. Isn’t that going a bit too far?”
Bai Wuji tossed the man onto the ground unhappily and strode to Bai Qi’s side, feeling a warmth spread through his body, as if he’d beco stronger.
The Crown of Guardian, its effects apply to all allies within its range.
“Fighting tooth and nail? I didn’t see it.”
Bai Qi glanced at the unconscious Ming Sect Legend, saying, “And, it seems like I’ve defeated more people than you.”
“Uh… Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Bai Wuji looked at the Ming Sect Beastmasters and pets around him, all in a state of exhaustion, and closed his mouth.
This was, after all, an evil organization that made the Six Countries tremble. Could you at least act a little more tired?
Even villains have self-respect!
