Primordial Qi

Chapter 133: Pseudonym

At the Jiulong Terrace, there were several monks with unusual and unhappy expressions looking into the distance. They were all disciples whose bodies had been possessed, and they had been summoned to come here some time ago.

Many of the people brought by the palace had their bodies possessed. They gradually gathered together, with indescribable strangeness on their faces, and no emotion could be seen.

"Did you all succeed in taking over another body?" someone asked.

"Hmm? The number of people is wrong. Where's Yumi?"

Several people looked around but did not see the person named Youmi.

"Is he dead? I remember he received a message and he might be on his way here."

"Death is the best. When we get out, we can feel the pleasure of being reborn again."

"The spiritual power outside is very tempting. I don't know how long it has been since I felt that pure power. I can't wait."

Those who have successfully taken over another body are all thinking about how to return to the outside world and practice hard for a period of time. As long as their realm is high enough, they may be able to wait until that great era arrives.

At this moment, in an underground space, Lin Xiu was holding Gu Chenyu's Soul-Destroying Needle and fiercely stabbing the ancient remnant soul. He was muttering "I'll stab you to death". Dare you still be so arrogant? The power of his soul is quite strong. I wonder how many times he can withstand it...

Gu Chenyu and Xiao Tian were both stunned. After all, Lin Xiu was a military commander, so it was normal for him to not understand culture. But he had been interrogating for a long time, but he didn't ask anything and just thought about how to torture people. Gu Chenyu was even more upset, but he asked in his heart: May I ask if you are Nanny Lin?

"Brother Lin..." Xiao Tian patted his shoulder, trying to persuade him to let go, as they still wanted to ask something.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao. With Brother Batian's secret treasure here, I will definitely find out all the ancient secrets." Lin Xiu's face was full of confidence. He felt that with the Soul-Destroying Needle in his hand, he would definitely confess as long as he stabbed him tens of thousands of times.

The remnant soul screamed, and a little bit of its soul power would be absorbed with each stab, and his soul body would be burned by the soul-destroying needle, and black smoke was coming out of Kuku.

The remnant soul no longer uttered vicious curses, having been subdued by Lin Xiu, and wished he could kill himself. Unfortunately, he was tied up tightly with a rope that bound his soul, and he didn't even have the chance to self-destruct. He had no intention of provoking, but Gu Chenyu held his thighs in place, so he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

"I'm a little tired. Come, Brother Xiao, you do the interrogation." Lin Xiu wiped the sweat off his face and moved the Soul-Destroying Needle in front of Xiao Tian. It was still somewhat difficult to control the Soul-Destroying Needle with one's mind, especially when it had already recognized its master.

"Okay." Xiao Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little afraid that the remnant soul would be wiped out by Lin Xiu.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to this world, why do you choose to possess other people's bodies, and how many residual souls like you are there in this world." Xiao Tian held the soul-destroying needle. His expression was indifferent, as if he would stab someone if he disagreed with something.

"Hmph, do you think I will tell you?" The remnant soul was still thinking about struggling to negotiate the terms, but he never thought that Xiao Tian would pierce his Baihui acupoint with a needle. Although it was a soul body, some places were still painful when they were pierced.

"what!"

The remnant soul let out a scream, and before the sound died down, it was stabbed a few more times. Gu Chenyu could feel the confused and painful feeling he was in, it was really like he was stabbed to death for no reason.

"Speak, I will tell you, but there are some things I cannot say, otherwise the consequence will be more horrible than death." The remnant soul was a little frightened, and he stopped struggling to avoid being subjected to more severe torture.

"Can't tell? It seems like you are really not afraid of death." Xiao Tian's face changed, and a black sickle appeared in his body, almost crushing the remnant soul.

Gu Chenyu only felt his soul trembling, and his heart was shaken with fear when he saw the black sickle.

“We can’t say it’s because of the ancient covenant. Those of us who want to return to the afterlife have signed the covenant and cannot reveal those secrets. Otherwise, in the future reckoning, not only will we have no chance of reincarnation, we will even be tortured millions of times before being killed. This is too horrible, and I don’t want to be reckoned with.” The remnant soul spoke very quickly, fearing that they would kill him if they hesitated.

"Is that so? That's fine too. Tell me your names and how many people's bodies you have possessed, where they are now, what you want to do, how strong you are, etc." Xiao Tian said. Once these questions were answered, things would be easier.

"My name is Youmi, and I am a cultivator from the Qingming world. One hundred thousand years ago, due to some changes, all of us strong men chose to sleep in order to return to the world and practice Taoism for thousands of years. As a result, our spiritual power disappeared, so we had no choice but to choose this method..."

Before Youmi could finish his words, a scream was heard suddenly. Gu Chenyu and the other two felt an inexplicable pressure and could not hear the rest of the words clearly.

It looked like Youmi's body had been burned by flames, probably a wound left by some kind of law. Everyone was stunned. It seemed that some things could not be said.

"This kind of punishment is only for people in the covenant. You better stop asking questions, or I will suffer a fate worse than having my soul torn apart."

Youmi was obviously very afraid of that unknown power, and Xiao Tian stopped asking questions. He really couldn't get anything out of her about the ancient things.

"I don't know exactly how many people have been possessed. Some time ago, I received a message inviting me to go to what you call the Nine Dragons Platform. We are going to start over again and rely on the power of the Nine Dragons Platform to regain some of our strength."

You Mi told the story. Gu Chenyu had never been to Jiulongtai, so he didn't know what it was like. Xiao Tian's expression became serious. The blessing there was indeed very high. If he could finish the ninth floor, he might get an unpredictable opportunity.

"No, they should be after the real dragon blood. By using the earth-changing technique, they may be able to gain enough power to destroy the secret realm." Gu Chenyu thought of this in his mind. His expression did not change. He looked at the other two, wanting to hear their thoughts.

"The two of us have been to Jiulongtai once, so we probably can't go there again."

"Yes, the invisible barrier seems to be very resistant to our souls. Perhaps we can only enter once in a period of time."

Seeing Xiao Tian and Lin Xiu looking at him, Gu Chenyu's face turned dark. What do these two want to do?

"Brother Batian..."

"How about you go and take a look?"

……

"roll."

It is already very difficult for three people to kill one ancient monk together, and these two actually want him to face an unknown number of ancient monks. This behavior is tantamount to seeking death.

"Forget it, let's take a long-term view. With whom should we leave this remnant soul? We should be able to get a lot of information from him." Xiao Tian asked. If he had any questions, he could ask him. If he didn't know, he could torture him. He would naturally know after a while.

"This man will surely die if he is left here. I don't have anything to suppress his soul, and this guy may attack at any time when he is around. We also didn't say we would let him go. In my opinion, we should just kill him and be done with it." Lin Xiu shook his head and refused. Naturally, he didn't like having danger around him, so he would kill him if he could.

Gu Chenyu nodded, and gathered three soul-destroying needle attacks. He looked at the other two and said with a smile, "Each of these three attacks is enough to kill this remnant soul. If you two want, I will give you these three attacks."

Lin Xiu was somewhat tempted. With these three attacks in hand, he could think of a way to kill this ancient remnant soul...

"Let's give it to Brother Xiao. He won't live long if this thing is given to the two of us." Gu Chenyu smiled and handed over the three spiritual attacks to Xiao Tian.

Seeing the two of them like this, he did not refuse. There were some things he really wanted to ask. He clasped his fists to thank the other two and took the ancient remnant soul into his body.

"Brother Batian, what are your plans? How about we gather people and catch these ancient cultivators in one fell swoop?" Xiao Tian asked. These ancient cultivators were not easy to deal with, so it would be best to kill them.

"That's fine. No one of those ancient monks is sure to kill them. More people would be better." Gu Chenyu nodded. To be honest, he didn't have many means of attack and might not be able to escape unscathed.

"You and I three know each other's secrets. Why don't we become brothers today and look down on the world from the top of the mountain together tomorrow." Lin Xiu said, and Xiao Tian nodded. These secrets could not be told to others, and they respected each other, so it would be nice to become brothers.

"I feel a little embarrassed when you two say that. Even my name is fake..." Gu Chenyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did he suddenly have the idea of becoming sworn brothers? He was a little curious whether Lin Xiu had many sworn brothers.

"What? Brother Batian, you're hiding it very deeply." Lin Xiu patted his shoulder and directly strangled his neck.

"Let go, let go. I'm honest. It's not a pseudonym. It can be used anyway." Gu Chenyu patted Lin Xiu's hand. He was a little out of breath.

"Let's get to know each other again..." Gu Chenyu paused for a moment and said seriously: "My name is Zhu Chenyu, Batian is just a nickname."

Gu Chenyu felt very excited, but, it was a pseudonym.
