âDidnât succeed?â Bian Fengta asked desperately.
Teng Yi nodded. âYes, but Feng Xi isnât to be blamed, it was because Li Hunâs father Li He wanted to see his daughter suddenly after about a month. That wasnât even half the time. For some reason, he came to Bright Moon City and didnât tell Feng Xi. He even beat all the guards and charged into Feng Xiâs solitary cultivation place. When he saw his daughter sleeping with Feng Xi, he was furious. His daughter didnât even have a soul and this Feng Xi slept with her.â
Bian Fengta asked, âThis was Feng Xi using his own soul to nourish Li Hunâs soul, right?â
Teng Yi nodded. âI believe so too, Li He probably misunderstood and slapped Feng Xi to the side. He carried his daughter and pointed at Feng Xi while spitting blood, âYou, you...â
Teng Yi sighed, âThen, Li He didnât kill Feng Xi due to his relationship with his father. He just took his daughter and left Heartless Sea. But Feng Xiâs soul was already on Li Hunâs body nourishing hers, so when Li He took Li Hun, he didnât kill Feng Xi but Feng Xi was left without a soul. That was the same as being dead.â
Bian Fengta sighed, not knowing how to comment on this tragedy.
Ye Mo looked at Teng Yi in confusion. âThat Li He should at least be a truth realisation state cultivator right?â
Teng Yi nodded. âYes, I heard that Li He and Feng Chun were both truth realisation state cultivators, very powerful ones.â
Ye Mo didnât believe that. âA truth realisation state canât see a Soul Nourishing Formation?â
Ye Mo didnât believe than an ancient truth realisation state cultivator wouldnât be able to tell a Soul Nourishing Formation. If Li He recognized it, why did he still do that?
Teng Yi shook his head. âI donât know, I heard this from someone, I donât know the specific details.â
âWhy did Bright Moon City become Lost Soul Ruins?â Bian Fengta asked.
Teng Yi said, âAfter Li He took Li Hun, Feng Xiâs soul was gone and there was no city lord, so the city gradually broke apart. Many people left and only some loyal guards stayed. As time went on, the defense formations of the city werenât being maintained and so were broken by spirit beasts. Those who stayed died in battle and those spirit beasts that went into the city werenât able to leave for some reason and died inside.
Then, grey mist rose up in the sky, which is the mist we now see. Itâs said that you can hear Feng Xiâs voice once you go inside Bright Moon City.â
âWhat sound?â Bian Fengta immediately asked.
Teng Yi said, âItâs said that someone inside constantly calls, âWhere is my soul, where is my soul...â Those people who go in and hear this lose their soul, and thus this place was named Lost Soul Ruins.â
âFeng Xiâs soul must have been taken away by Li He and so he formed this grudge,â Bian Fengta said.
Teng Yi shook his head. âNot necessarily, I heard people say heâs calling âWhere is my Hun?â Regardless, thereâs definitely some stubborn will there.â
Teng Yi looked at Ye Mo. âBrother Ye, weâre friends and Iâm not bullshitting. I donât know if this tale is true or false or how it got out. But itâs indeed a place of no return, I hope you wont go in. If anything, we can go somewhere else and think of a way. As long as you can remove the spirit sense mark on you, we can do something.â
Bian Fengta also looked at Ye Mo, fervently hoping he wouldnât go inside.
Ye Mo nodded. âTeng, are we friends?â
Teng Yi said without hesitation, âBrother Ye of course weâre friends. Even if you donât think Iâm your friend I think youâre my friend. Plus, I know you already think of me and Er Taa as friends.â
âGreat.â Ye Mo patted Teng Yi and said, âOf course I do.â
âI know,â Teng Yi immediately said.
Ye Mo said, âIf I need a spirit herb to survive and itâs only inside Lost Soul Ruins would you help me find it?â
Teng Yi patted his chest. âOf course, you saved my mother so you saved me! A mere Lost Soul Ruins is nothing â no matter how dangerous it is, I would go in and help you.â
Ye Mo nodded. âThatâs it, I have a very good friend like you, heâs even a qian bei and he needs a spirit herb thatâs inside the Lost Soul Ruins. So I need to go in, I believe you can understand me now, right?â
Bian Fengta knew Ye Mo needed Immortal Curl Flower and didnât say anything but Teng Yi immediately said, âOkay brother Ye, Iâll go in with you.â
âNo need, you and Er Taa leave here first and wait for me. I have a cultivation method that can avoid the grey mist, itâs not good for you guys to go in.â
Ye Mo saw that his Purple Eye Soul Sever was useful and wanted to go in already.
âYou can avoid the grey mist?â Teng Yi asked in shock but he immediately remembered something. âI understand, you scanned your spirit sense in and you were fine. Thatâs your method, right?â
âThatâs right.â Ye Mo nodded.
Bian Fengta said, âWhere do we wait for you?â
Ye Mo thought and said, âEr Taa, the island we met is good. Just wait for me there. If Iâm successful, I will come out within a year, if itâs been more than a year and a half then donât wait for me.â
Ye Mo was talking about the place Meng Qi used the space travel rune.
The two knew it was pointless to persuade Ye Mo so they went on Bian Fengtaâs flying cultivation artifact and left the Lost Soul Ruins.
The place seemed very desolate after the two left. The occasional shrieks coming from the Lost Soul Ruins made things more spooky.
The eeriest place Ye Mo had ever been to was Truth Fall Palace level seven, and now he felt the same feeling here.
Ye Mo walked into the mist without hesitation and at the same time used Purple Eye Soul Sever. Ye Mo would go into his Golden Page World or leave immediately as soon as things werenât right.
At the same time, two girls flew past here and saw Ye Mo go in.
âSister, did I see wrong? Did I just see a cultivator go into the Lost Soul Ruins?â a red robed young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief and asked.
The green robed girl also said in a daze, âSister, you saw right â someone did go inside.â
âHuh...â the two glanced at each other and sped to where Ye Mo was. Then, they glanced at each other again, not daring to say a thing.
...
As soon as Ye Mo went in, he felt his spirit sense was uncontrollable. Even his Purple Eye Soul Sever couldnât stop his sea of consciousness from being lost. There was something calling to him to give up resistance. If he didnât have the Three Birth Chant, Ye Mo wouldnât dare to imagine his fate.
The next moment Ye Mo wanted to leave, but when Ye Mo turned around, he was dumbfounded. He was in a misty world with no idea where he had come in from.
In that short time, his sea of consciousness rumbled again. The spirit sense swords he struck out became fuzzy. Ye Mo was shook, if his Purple Eye Soul Sever was useless, then he would lose his soul!
