before the battle had started, long chen had given a mission to gather any powerful souls of fallen experts.

that was because the armor and weapons that guo ran had forged didn’t have item-spirits. they couldn’t count as true ancestral items. that was why the dragonblood warriors had had their lives stolen under the attacks of their opponent’s ancestral items.

almost all the warriors had died to the rank nine celestial’s ancestral item. the magical beasts might have been powerful, but they had at most been capable of heavily injuring the dragonblood warriors.

those heavy injuries were instantly healed by the spirit trees’ life blessing, so the majority of the fallen warriors had been slain by that rank nine celestial from the ancient family alliance. in the end, his body had been torn into pieces by the dragonblood warriors.

if the dragonblood warriors’ armor and weapons had had item-spirits, they would have become true ancestral items. then perhaps they would have managed to keep their legend of zero casualties.

however, there weren’t so many ifs in this world. there was only the cruel reality.

meng qi nodded. “i gathered many powerful souls. most are from eleventh rank magical beasts, and some are from the corrupt path, ancient races, and ancient family alliance.”

meng qi took out a dark red pearl. this was a soul item: the soul locking pearl.

during the battle, meng qi’s spiritual strength had been spread throughout the battlefield. there were now millions of powerful souls sealed within it.

for the magical beasts, only those above the tenth rank had souls that wouldn’t instantly dissipate. as for humans, soul transformation experts were able to keep a complete soul upon dying.

the fighting had been exceptionally fierce. many powerful attacks had contained a powerful soul-killing aspect to them, which meant that only one in dozens of viable souls had managed to survive.

from that, it could be seen how grand that battle had been. calculating like this, the number of experts at the soul transformation realm and above had numbered in the tens of millions.

furthermore, those tens of millions of deaths had come from the dark forest, corrupt path, ancient races, and ancient family alliance. that was because the forest of life’s spirit beasts and warriors all had their souls return to the forest of life when they died.

“pick out fifteen thousand of the strongest souls and have them devour the other souls. then they can be used to create ancestral item-spirits,” said long chen.

to inject spirituality into an item like this after the forging process required the souls be very powerful. the stronger the souls were, the better. so like raising poison insects, he would have them slaughter each other until only the strongest remained.

this method was very cruel and was commonly used by the corrupt path. a large reason the corrupt path was so powerful was because they used such evil cultivation techniques.

however, long chen didn’t feel any guilt about this. he was still full of hatred and pain. he had to strengthen the dragonblood legion.

“alright.” meng qi nodded.

“you don’t need to look after me. i really am fine. meng qi, how did you end up struck with such an immense backlash?” seeing their worried expressions, long chen comforted them and changed the subject.

“alright, if you don’t want me to cry, tell me if you had an affair with leng yueyan.” tang wan-er wiped away her tears and looked at long chen seriously.

long chen’s expression became odd. he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “if you change the subject so quickly, you might cause the cart to flip.”

“don’t act dumb. speak, what happened between you and leng yueyan? in particular, did anything intimate happen between you?” tang wan-er stared closely into long chen’s eyes, seeming to want to determine if he was lying or not.

meng qi and chu yao laughed. tang wan-er’s expression looked both serious and mischievous. long chen didn’t have any way to handle her.

long chen bitterly smiled. “it’s not so exaggerated. you should know, she’s always wanted to kill me.”

helplessly, long chen explained all of what had happened between him and leng yueyan.

“leng yueyan’s is the number one figure of the corrupt path’s junior generation. no one can contend with her, and she’s both unrivaled in power and viciousness. but curiously, she doesn’t kill experts from the righteous path. it seems she always kills people from her own corrupt path,” said chu yao.

“perhaps this is the hellflower that kills those closest to it. those closer to leng yueyan are closer to reincarnation,” said long chen, also without comprehending.

leng yueyan was a mystery. sometimes, he felt like she had a split personality, as if there were two souls within her. even now, he didn’t know what she was thinking.

anyone who tried to communicate with her would have to be prepared to go reincarnate at any moment. her character was unfathomable.

“she really is terrifying. she even almost killed sha guangyan. he had to sacrifice an arm to get away,” said meng qi with some admiration.

because she had been blind at that time, she had used her soul to cover the battlefield. she was the one who had witnessed leng yueyan’s fighting the closest.

each time leng yueyan had attacked, she had launched a vicious killing blow to directly reap her opponent’s life. sha guangyan hadn’t had any chance to fight back at all. in the end, even his strongest defense had been broken. he had left behind an arm as he miserably fled.

long chen also couldn’t help sighing. in truth, on the outskirts of the ancient battlefield, he had had mercy on her, but hadn’t she also had mercy on him?

if she had really wanted to kill long chen and used her full power from the start, he might have died already. that meant leng yueyan hadn’t really wanted to kill him. but then what was her goal?

neither long chen nor the corrupt path understood leng yueyan. no one knew what she was thinking. leng yueyan rarely spoke. she usually communicated with her bone sword, and those who she communicated with usually died.

however, leng yueyan’s words to him made long chen feel some distress: if i one day die, will you feel sad?

“long chen, leng yueyan is hiding immense pain inside. although she’s powerful, merciless, and kills decisively, when she saved me, i touched her hand. my wood spiritual energy allowed me to sense the helplessness and indecision in her heart,” said chu yao after pondering for a moment.

“helplessness and indecision...?” tang wan-er was gobsmacked. even such a terrifying killing goddess felt such emotions?

“what level of expert is leng yueyan?” asked long chen. he had too many questions when it came to leng yueyan.
