Chapter 1704 – Hidden Soul

　　”Hidden Soul ……”

　　After hearing Yan Zhong’s words, Huo Zaiwei’s eyes in the pool of blood gradually brightened.

　　Not only can he retain his soul and not die, but he can also harbor his lifelong strength into his weapon, the only flaw is that the process is too painful …… If he fails to persevere, it’s the end of his soul, even if Huo Jia arrives in time, he won’t be able to salvage his spirit.

　　But pain was nothing to Huo Zaiwei, as long as he could retain his power as long as possible, even if it was painful, it was worth it.

　　”Use this method.” Huo Daizi spoke firmly.

　　”Marquis, that’s skinning the bones and cutting open the heart to get blood!” Zhan Yuwu’s hands trembled uncontrollably, as if he was somewhat intolerant.

　　”What is there to fear in skinning and extracting bones?” Huo Daizi hoarsely opened his mouth, “This marquis’ bones are already broken, and the heart is likewise so …… You only need to peel the skin and take the blood, this pain, this marquis can survive.”

　　Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, and Chloe looked at each other, and all saw the intolerance in each other s eyes …… This is Huo Zaizi, right? The people of the world s Champion Marquis Huo Zaizi …… peeled the skin and extracted the bones, and dissected the heart to take blood …… Who can bear to come to this hand?

　　”I will do it.”

　　Right at this moment, a voice came out from behind, and Gong Yang Wan was walking calmly towards this place in a jacket dress.

　　”You?”

　　”You all can’t lay your hands on me, so naturally I can only come.” Gong Yang Wan faintly said, “I have tortured so many people, and I have experience in skinning and extracting bones and whatnot, if your hands shake, it will only cause him more pain …… Don’t worry, I’m quick to strike.”

　　Seeing Gongyang Wan show up, Huo Zaiwei’s expression instead relaxed, as if he remembered something, his right hand in the pool of blood slowly lifted.

　　”Gongyang Wan …… this you take.”

　　”What is this?” Gongyang Wan looked at the heart in Huo Zaiwei’s hand and asked with a frown.

　　”That willow monster is able to replicate all living beings, perfectly creating the corresponding flesh from thin air……. Aren’t you lacking a flesh that can both carry your brother’s soul and has no master? This thing should be able to help you.”

　　Looking at the palm that was handed out from the pool of blood, Gong Yang Wan’s entire person was like a lightning strike, staying in place.

　　He …… is helping me?

　　He didn’t hesitate to kill through Kusun’s body, one man and one gun deep into the very core of the tree trunk, just to take this heart for Gong Yang Humble?

　　”Why!?” Gongyang Wan spoke in disbelief, “I’m just a man-eating female demon, why are you helping me repeatedly? What good is it to you to do so?”

　　”In this world, if you have to count gains and losses in everything you do, it’s a bit too heartless.” Huo Daizi slowly opened his mouth, “However, this marquis does hope that in the future you will be able to take the helm of the Zhenxie Division for this marquis …… This marquis has always believed that you are not bad by nature, only that your hostility is too heavy, and that if it can be properly dissolved, based on your decisiveness and determination, you should be able to ensure that the Zhenxie Division will not fail for a thousand years.

　　Facts have proven that this marquis did not look at the wrong person.”

　　Gongyang Wan’s pupils contract slightly as she gazes at Huo Zaiwei for a long time, her expression complicated.

　　In the end, she still tremblingly stretched out her hands and received the heart …… that was covered in blood then bent her knees and her entire body fell to her knees in a pool of blood.

　　”Gongyang Wan, with her younger brother Gongyang Humble, kneeling to thank the Marquis for saving her life!”

　　Her forehead heavily knocked in the blood stains, making a dull sound, this “Marquis”, she called out sincerely and convincingly.

　　”Do it.” Huo Daizi hoarsely opened his mouth, “After the death of this marquis, the [Returning Heart Compulsion] will fail, and from now on, there will be no one to bind you ……

　　Also, take away this marquis’ face, the news of this marquis’ death in battle, try to let the world know as late as possible ……”

　　Gongyang Wan slowly stood up, the green jacket had already been stained with blood, she picked up the broken lance on the side and walked to Huo Zaiwei’s body, her pale bones clenched up.

　　”Marquis, please endure ……”

　　She raised the tip of the spear in her hand and violently stabbed at the body in the pool of blood!

　　Bang–!

　　A palm broke through the trunk of the tree, easily tearing open a gap as Lin Qiye’s figure flashed out from it.

　　He turned his head to look behind him, and in his field of vision, the massive willow tree had been cocooned by countless threads of karma, like an ancient specimen standing motionless above the earth.

　　Lin Qiye rubbed his temples as a sense of vertigo surged through his heart, nearly falling straight through the air.

　　Creating so many [Unprovoked Causes] in a single breath had almost overdrawn all of his mental power, and if Huo Zaiwei hadn’t severely injured Cusun ahead of time, trying to seal him in this way would have been as difficult as heaven.

　　However, in doing so, Kusun would completely lose his mobility, and when the gods of the Heavenly Court returned, they would easily be able to cut him down.

　　Lin Qiye swept his gaze across the surroundings and began to look for the figures of the others, finally, his eyes looked somewhere and his body shook violently.

　　”That’s ……”

　　Lin Qiye’s pupils shrunk slightly, and his figure quickly leapt out from the surface of Kusun, rushing in a certain direction.

　　”Brother Seven Nights?!” Seeing Lin Qiye descending from the sky, Zhan Yuwu, whose face was white, clenched his teeth, “Marquis he ……”

　　Lin Qiye passed through Zhan Yuwu Yan Zhong and the others, stopping in front of that pool of blood, and seeing the blood drenched scene in front of him, his expression moved slightly.

　　”Brother Seven Nights, Marquis he can’t wait for [his heart to swim], so ……” Yan Zhong turned his back to Huo Zaiwei’s direction, his voice was trembling a little, even if he knew that Huo Zaiwei wouldn’t really die but would hide his soul in his soldiers, he still didn’t have the courage to look straight at the man that he had been following for The young general that he had followed for several years, was being cut alive like an execution.

　　Lin Qiye slowly closed his eyes and sighed helplessly …….

　　Sure enough, this still happened.

　　Lin Qiye had seen Huo Zaodong who had transformed into a Yingling in his later life, and had also heard of the painful process of transforming a dying person into a Yingling, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn’t expect it to come so quickly ……

　　”The …… Marquis won’t die.” Lin Qiye softly comforted the duo, “He will transform into the strongest Ying Ling on this great land and guard the country’s fortune for us, sooner or later, one day, he will return.”

　　As Gongyang Wan followed Yan Zhong’s guidance and melted her bones and blood into soldiers, Huo Zaiwei’s form had completely disappeared from this world. The dusky remnants of the sun filtered through the flying dust, and there was only a broken lance that stood on top of the blood-stained earth.

　　Clang-!

　　Gong Yang Wan pulled out the lance, and a buzzing sound emanated from the body of the lance, as if it contained an unyielding battle intent roaring in the wind.

　　”The next step is to place the melted weapon in the flood of qi, and after two years of containment, the soul can be revived …… ” Yan Zhong hoarsely recited the last words of the Hidden Soul Technique.

　　”In this era, where is the place where qi fortune is at its peak?” Lin Qiye asked.

　　Yan Zhong and Zhan Yuwu looked at each other and said at the same time:

　　”Chang’an!”
