1077: C1077 Soul Nourishing

C1077 Soul Nourishing

A short while later, Lin Long finally blocked in front of that especially evil spirit. Just as he was about to smash his palm towards it, he heard a "boom" sound, and the ground actually sank down again.

In front of his eyes was a small hole. Moreover, there were still quite a few evil spirits there. It was clear that this was another mechanism that was triggered by a particularly evil spirit.

Seeing these evil spirits in front of him, Lin Long's brows immediately furrowed, because they were actually all third level commanders. There were quite a few of these third level commanders, so how could he possibly chase after those evil spirits while standing in front of him?

At this time, these commanders did not immediately attack Lin Long, but stood still and stared at Lin Long. It was clear that they were waiting for the orders from the evil spirit.

At this time, that especially evil ghost was already hiding behind these third level commanders. He did not immediately leave, but instead looked at Lin Long with a bit of a pleased expression.

It was very obvious that it had also noticed that it was impossible for Lin Long to finish off these evil spirits in a short period of time and deal with it.

Lin Long knew he had missed out on another chance, but just at this time, Lin Long's eyes suddenly lit up, because he sensed someone's Qi, which was inside the cave wall next to the especially evil ghost.

Could it be that some evil spirit had locked Jing Xuan and Gu Qingyun inside? Lin Long could not help but have this thought pass through his mind.

Just as he was thinking, the evil spirit slapped on the wall, and the wall opened up to reveal a door, and when it opened, Lin Long could sense the Qi of someone inside.

What was this evil ghost doing? Could it be that it wanted to move the person inside away or just absorb the soul of the person inside? Lin Long guessed in his heart.

He knew that he couldn't wait. If he waited any longer, no matter what the evil spirits would do, he would miss out on a great opportunity.

It was also at this time that the especially evil spirits suddenly let out sharp cries. After they let out these cries, the commanders of the third rank, who were originally standing quietly, immediately rushed towards Lin Long.

Lin Long's expression turned cold, and immediately took out the devil sword that he had previously obtained from Luo Jun.

The reason why he held the demon sword was because at this time, the demon sword was the only one that could unleash a thunder-like attack.

When the Demon Sword appeared, demonic energy immediately surged out from it. Then, a black sword aura immediately shot forward like a black bolt of lightning.

This was truly a thunderous strike, immediately sending the Level 3 Commanders who were in front of Lin Long flying away with a single slash.

In Lin Long's hands, this devil sword displayed energy that was many times stronger than his own. This was naturally because of Luo Jun's understanding of devil arts, which was simply inferior to his own understanding of Symbol Grammar Array.

However, this sword aura wasn't aimed at those third-level commanders; it was aimed directly at that especially evil spirit.

The evil ghost had a quick reaction. It originally wanted to enter the cave that had just been opened, but in that instant, it abruptly dodged to the right.

Of course, this was also because the sword Qi had wasted some time on the third rank commanders. Otherwise, how could they have given this particular evil spirit time to react?

The moment this Demon Ghost dodged, the Sword Qi released by Lin Long also stopped at the entrance of the cave.

Lin Long's grasp of the situation was perfect, if he went any further, the people inside would definitely be in trouble.

After forcing away that especially evil spirit, Lin Long had already pounced towards it.

All the evil spirits inside the hole had lost their lives under Lin Long's sword attack, especially the evil ghost who didn't dare to stay behind and directly rushed out of the hole.

Lin Long originally wanted to catch up with them, but he was afraid that the person inside the cave might have met with some mishap if he chased after them, so after a moment of hesitation, he chose to stay behind.

He then walked into the cave. It was a small cave with seven or eight people inside, but there was nothing inside except for one person.

This person was obviously in a coma. His body was curled up, and he looked extremely afraid of the cold.

After clearly seeing the person before him, Lin Long's brows immediately furrowed, because the person before him was not Jing Xuan, but Gu Qingyun.

Could it be that Jing Xuan had already been viciously killed by this evil spirit? Such a bad premonition flashed in Lin Long's heart.

Upon closer inspection, he heaved a sigh of relief. Gu Qingyun was not like Lin Xingwei and Luo Jun who had lost their souls, it was obvious that his soul was still there.

This made Lin Long a little doubtful. He couldn't understand why the evil ghost didn't absorb Gu Qingyun's soul.1

The most important thing right now was to wake Gu Qingyun up, and then ask him what had happened.

After slapping a certain point on Gu Qingyun's body, Gu Qingyun immediately woke up.

The moment he woke up, Gu Qingyun seemed to be even more afraid of the cold. He even started to tremble slightly, but his face soon revealed a happy expression, because he had spotted Lin Long.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, that's great." Gu Qingyun said happily, but when she thought of something, his expression quickly became ugly, "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, could it be that you were also caught here by that evil ghost?"

"No, that evil ghost has already been driven away by me." Lin Long said.

"That's great." Gu Qingyun heaved a sigh of relief.

"Senior Gu, where's Senior Sister Jing Xuan? Didn't she come here with you?" Lin Long immediately asked.

"Jing Xuan, she was taken to another place by that evil ghost." Gu Qingyun replied.

"Then does Senior Gu know where we are?" Lin Long asked again.

"I don't know about that. I was injured at that time, and the tunnels are very complicated. I don't even know where they are." Gu Qingyun shook his head.

Hearing Gu Qingyun's words, Lin Long tightly furrowed his brows.

"Senior brother Gu, why are you so scared of the cold?" Lin Long asked.

Although the cold yin energy in the cave was stronger than other places, Gu Qingyun was a martial artist after all. Even though she was injured, this kind of cold yin energy was not something that could be blocked.

Gu Qingyun immediately shook her head, "I don't know what that evil ghost did to me. After that, I was extremely afraid of this kind of cold yin energy."

Speaking till here, he suddenly said something, "I remember now, that evil ghost seemed to have left Jing Xuan in an even colder place."

"Is that so?" Lin Long's eyes immediately lit up.

Although Gu Qingyun could not say where it was, but with the help of this special ability, he might be able to find it.

"Senior brother Gu, let me inspect your body first." Lin Long said.

The reason why Lin Long did this was naturally to see what tricks the evil ghost had done to Gu Qingyun.

After using his own profound energy to examine it, Lin Long knew what was going on. It turned out that the evil ghost had used some kind of secret technique on Gu Qingyun's body, and after unleashing this kind of secret technique, Gu Qingyun immediately started to fear this kind of cold yin energy.

Afterwards, after discussing it with Yin Yi and the Third Prince, Lin Long also came to the conclusion that the reason the evil ghost had used this secret technique on Gu Qingyun and kept him in a cold and gloomy place was to let him use "Soul Nurturing", which also meant to nourish Gu Qingyun's soul and directly absorb it when the time was right.

But what Lin Long could not understand was that the evil ghost could have been absorbed directly, so why did he raise it?

After all, this kind of soul nourishment was useless in a short period of time. It was better for this evil ghost to directly absorb it.

Since he did not understand, Lin Long decided to not think about it anymore. He let Gu Qingyun take a pill to heal her injuries, and after recovering slightly, he immediately used a technique to remove the secret technique that the evil ghost had cast.

With Lin Long's strength and experience, it was not difficult at all.

Then, Lin Long directly brought Gu Qingyun to search inside the palace.

The more time passed, the more dangerous it was for Jing Xuan, so naturally, she could not waste any time.
