Chapter 926 New Troubles
The strategy was a success. By killing three divine souls, the degree of the enemy’s disturbance was greatly reduced. After Qin Wushuang restored the scene, he left quietly.
He knew that for this successful strategy, regardless of the result, killing three enemy divine souls would surely attract attention.
However, as long as this strategy was not exposed, advancing wave after wave, they would keep getting trapped by their greed for a corporeal body.
However, certainly the difficulty level would increase.
Now, Qin Wushuang did not have the energy to think about the difficulty level. It would be a gain every time a divine soul could be killed. Clearly, those three divine souls already reached the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage.
According to Qin Wushuang’s analysis, the original power of these divine souls would have surely been at the Heavenly Supreme Dao. Without a corporeal body and since they just got out of the seal, they had not yet fully recovered. Despite this fact, they still had the power at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao. Such an enemy was extremely terrifying.
If they were allowed to return to their peak state, the Tian Xuan Land would fall into mortal danger. Upon thinking of how the first group of escaped divine souls were more powerful, Qin Wushuang felt a burst of annoyance inwardly.
Up to this point, he still hadn’t figured out just who was that spy that used a blood sacrifice to unseal the formation.
However, currently this was clearly not important. The important thing was to investigate how many divine souls were left within this God Discarding Maze.
At this moment, good news came from King Cicada as he successfully killed a divine soul.
After the two of them regrouped, with some discussion, King Cicada said, "Wushuang, I observed that this group of foreign divine souls clearly adjusted their strategy. Since they sent these wandering soldiers to disturb us, surely their main force must be scattered in training to recover their strength."
In fact, Qin Wushuang already observed this point as he nodded. "I think so too. Now the problem is just how many there are and what level they are."
King Cicada analyzed, "I don’t think it will be too many and they would not be too powerful. Or else, if they had an overpowering advantage, there would be no need to play hide and seek with us. They could just charge at us and we would be the ones running away."
It was such a reasonable and righteous analysis.
"On the contrary, the divine souls that ran away in the first group were more powerful. I wonder how the situation is on Daoist Buyi’s side," King Cicada said ruefully.
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang laughed. "Another fish caught the bait."
Qin Wushuang kept the nine Golem Puppets outside. Indeed, another divine soul was attracted.
However, this divine soul was even more anxious than Senior Gao and his group. When he saw such low-leveled martial artists, he felt great desire to hunt.
Unexpectedly, he fell directly into the trap.
When King Cicada and Qin Wushuang arrived to kill it, of course there was no chance for the soul.
"Five, ha ha, indeed this is a good strategy! We’ve killed five divine souls. Wushuang, it seems this is a useful strategy."
However, Qin Wushuang was not that optimistic. "Daoist King Cicada, now is only the beginning, the enemies are not fully alarmed. When they realize their friends are missing without a cause, even if they cannot see through our tactic, they will be more careful."
"That’s true. However, sometimes their desire for a body cannot be controlled by reason alone. Unless those divine souls with a body step out..."
King Cicada said ruefully, "This time, my Illusion Heavenly Lake suffered a heavy loss. Especially the Emei Daoist Sect. It seems the Nine Change Celestial White Tiger was the spy for sure. Female Celestial Miao Yun of the Emei Daoist Sect also went missing."
"Female Celestial Miao Yun?" Suddenly, Qin Wushuang was moved and it seemed a burst of strange thought inside his spiritual perception stirred restlessly.
He could not describe this feeling exactly.
"Wushuang, what’s going on?" King Cicada asked curiously.
"Female Celestial Miao Yun... Female Celestial Miao Yun." Qin Wushuang scratched his head and felt that something was wrong.
"Ah, talking about this Miao Yun, initially she also had an unrequited longing of love for my Junior Brother Golden Cicada. Unfortunately, ha ha..."
"What?" Strange color shone in Qin Wushuang’s eyes. This... Wasn’t this the same situation as with Yun Honger?
"Yes, yes!" Qin Wushuang smiled. "It’s her, it’s Female Celestial Miao Yun. She is the spy, she is the suspect that unleashed the divine souls of the foreign tribes."
Instantly, King Cicada was stunned. "This... Wushuang, you cannot joke about this."
Qin Wushuang said after a long sigh, "Yun Honger, that Yun Honger from the Fish Dragon Clan of the Endless Eastern Sea, does she share a love for Daoist Golden Cicada?"
"How did you know?" King Cicada was somewhat surprised.
"This is how the story goes..." Qin Wushuang explained Yun Honger’s situation in detail.
King Cicada was dumbstruck. "In this case, Female Celestial Miao Yun was a spy, she... How could she betray the Tian Xuan Land and be the dog for the foreign tribes?"
"Daoist King Cicada, I think perhaps this Female Celestial Miao Yun was in an even worse situation than Yun Honger. Certainly someone controlled her divine soul. Or else, I am afraid even Yun Honger would not have destroyed her own body to unleash the seal."
King Cicada gave a long sigh. "I am afraid so. Whether it was Female Celestial Miao Yun or not, we will get the truth after we excavate all those seized bodies. If we can’t find Female Celestial Miao Yun, then surely she was the one who made the sacrifice."
Qin Wushuang shook his hand. "Daoist King Cicada, the dead are already gone. I suggest that we don’t dig into this matter. Or else, when it gets big, it will not benefit the teamwork for the totem clans. Of course, the Karakorum Immortal Clan must investigate the Emei Daoist Sect and see if other higher-ups fell for it too."
"Yes." King Cicada felt incredibly satisfied at how Qin Wushuang was understanding others. Clearly, Qin Wushuang said these words to give some leeway to the Illusion Heavenly Lake and avoid them from becoming the butt of criticism.
However, Qin Wushuang still felt unsettled with the matter with Female Celestial Miao Yun. He had the feeling that there was more to the story.
In that instant, a new sense of inspiration suddenly emerged in his head. When facing the abnormal change, his heart strings had been strained.
Now as he calmed down to think, suddenly he slapped his thigh and roared with laughter. "Daoist King Cicada, I was being silly, I should find a horse if I need to ride one."
"Oh? Find a horse?"
Qin Wushuang laughed again. "There is something that has never failed me!"
As he said this, he took out the Observant Finger Jade Plate. "This object is called the Observant Finger Jade Plate. The divine souls that entered the God Discarding Door were all collected by this jade plate. Those eight missing people are also among them. Please look, Daoist King Cicada. The others already left the God Discarding Door and no longer appear on the screen. Yet indeed, there are no traces of Female Celestial Miao Yun. I expect that she is already dead. Although the bodies of the other seven people are gone, surely their divine souls were destroyed. However, when the corporeal body still remains, the divine soul spiritual Qi that is left in the body cannot get cleaned completely in a short period of time. Therefore, this Observant Finger Jade Plate is still showing signs. Unless their corporeal bodies collapse, the remains of their spiritual perception will be faint."
The brows of King Cicada showed his apprehension. "In this case, you can lock onto the location of these corporeal bodies?"
"That’s right, according to my observation, they should be between the Seventh to Ninth Maze. The exact location cannot be located since they are too far. However, as long as they keep approaching, I can be sure."
King Cicada was overjoyed. "This, this is great! Should we go over and kill them when they’re off guard?"
Qin Wushuang shook his head. "That won’t be the best plan. We need to have sure success. I think we need to get help."
"Help?"
"Yes, we must ask one of the senior brothers outside the God Discarding Door to come in. In that case, we will have assurance to kill them for sure. Or else, with just you and I, at most we can stay alive if we were met by a truly powerful Heavenly Supreme Dao divine soul. It could be extremely difficult to kill these enemies."
King Cicada thought about it too. Even if he were to call Golden Ray Dragon King and the other three, it would be useless. Only a true Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warrior would be the most useful here.
These elite warriors that just entered the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage had limited power to the foreign tribes.
"Alright, let’s go get help."
Qin Wushuang and King Cicada contacted Golden Ray Dragon King and flew to the outside. Since they did not go to seek trouble with the foreign tribes, those people from the foreign tribes would not find trouble with them. After all, they were not fully confident in dealing with Qin Wushuang and King Cicada.
When they arrived at the cave of the God Discarding Door, Miao Xu had already returned.
In this case, three of the Heavenly Mysterious Seven Disciples were present at the entrance to the God Discarding Door.
When they saw Qin Wushuang and the other warrior come out, Li Yifeng asked curiously, "Why did you come out?"
Qin Wushuang explained the situation. The expression of Xiao Yixuan and Li Yifeng appeared extremely solemn.
Li Yifeng said, "You two, come see this."
As he said this, Li Yifeng took them to the location of nine keys. They could only see dim lights scattered on those nine gigantic keys as they seemed to be on the verge of death and about to die away.
"These nine spiritual keys are approaching their limit of spending spiritual Qi. This is also the reason why each group can only enter the God Discarding Door every four months. Now with the time limit up, without Brother Buyi supporting it, it’s already unable to endure this length of time. If the spiritual keys collapse, this God Discarding Door will never be opened again." Li Yifeng’s tone was extremely solemn.
"There is no other way?" Qin Wushuang asked with a bitter smile.
"There is, if Daoist Buyi is here, he can burn Supreme Dao power to provide spiritual Qi for it. As long as there are no accidents, theoretically it can continue to operate. However, to him, it would be a gigantic toll."
Both were difficult decisions. Now, Li Buyi was pursuing those divine souls that were escaping. If he came back and the other three went to pursue the souls, the amount of manpower would be even less.
"Two Daoist friends, you can kill those foreign tribe bastards, let me handle things here!" Miao Xu volunteered. "Although my Supreme Dao power is less than Daoist Buyi, it’s enough to support the keys for three to five months. I will transfer it to him when he comes back!"
Xiao Yixuan and Li Yifeng exchanged a glance and both nodded. This seemed to be the only solution at the moment!
