Yun Jin once again warned herself.
Now.
The plot had long been altered beyond recognition.
Like the hidden plot of the extraterrestrial demons, similar elements would likely appear from time to time.
The plot of the book could no longer serve as a reference for her.
From now on, she couldn't rely on the plot, everything had to be explored by herself.
"This is the demon soul of the Devouring Demon God. Then…" Yun Jin paused for a moment and continued asking in her mind, "does this mean that the extraterrestrial demons have already locked onto the location of this world?"
Back then.
Wushuang Sect had paid a great price to block the extraterrestrial demons outside the passage.
If.
The extraterrestrial demons still ended up invading, then their sacrifice would seem too tragic.
The system's mechanical voice sounded, "The remnant soul is within Yang Yun's body and hasn't established contact with the main body yet. If the remnant soul completely takes control of Yang Yun's body, over time, the Devouring Demon God may sense the location of the remnant soul."
Yun Jin's pupils contracted slightly.
May sense the location of the remnant soul…
Which means there's a chance of discovering the existence of this world.
When the time comes.
If extraterrestrial demons launched a full-scale invasion, this world would truly be in danger.
"How can this remnant soul be eliminated?" Yun Jin asked again.
She felt a little nervous, afraid that the system would ask for another thousand high-level attempts.
Fortunately.
This time, the system didn't charge any additional simplification counts and simply stated, "Yang Yun and the demon soul coexist. If Yang Yun dies, the demon soul is destroyed."
Yun Jin narrowed her eyes slightly.
Yang Yun was someone she already planned to kill.
If Yang Yun dies, the demon soul is destroyed. This was something she must accomplish.
However.
The demon soul also knew this.
Like this time.
When Yang Yun truly encountered a fatal crisis, the demon soul appeared and took him away.
Judging from the fact that the demon soul could directly swallow Ji Wusi's sword attack, its strength was likely quite formidable.
Eliminate Yang Yun, destroy the demon soul.
In reality, defeating that demon soul was the only way to completely eliminate Yang Yun.
So this was.
The true trump card of the child of Qi Luck in this world?
Yun Jin thought of something and asked again, "Since they coexist, how can the demon soul completely take control of Yang Yun's body?"
The system responded again, "There's only one possibility. Yang Yun voluntarily gives up control of his body, willingly retreats into the depths of his sea of consciousness, and hands over the body to the demon soul."
Hearing this, Yun Jin's expression gradually calmed down.
Yang Yun was the child of Qi Luck, the kind who couldn't be easily killed.
For him to give up control of his body would be extremely difficult.
Even if such a day came, it would still take time for the location of this world to be transmitted. By then, eliminating the demon soul would suffice.
Although she felt some pain over the number of simplification attempts spent.
The benefit was that Yang Yun no longer had any secrets in front of her.
As for this demon soul…
She wondered whether Ji Wusi and the others could catch up. If they did, with so many top experts working together, they should be able to stop it?
But.
Yang Yun was the male lead after all.
Yun Jin had a feeling that it wouldn't be that simple.
Two hours later.
Ji Wusi and the others returned to Tianxing Sect.
Their expressions ugly.
Yun Jin immediately understood.
Looks like.
The demon soul had escaped with Yang Yun.
"The demon soul's escape speed was very astonishing," Ji Wusi said irritably. "We couldn't catch up, it escaped with Yang Yun."
The demon soul plus the Demon Lord.
Yang Yun was indeed extremely difficult to eliminate.
Yun Jin glanced at the Qi Luck panel.
Ye Danxia's Qi Luck had now actually dropped to 5 points.
It was only equivalent to that of an ordinary mortal.
And Yang Yun's Qi Luck had also dropped to 54 points.
It had already fallen below the passing threshold.
The demon soul appeared and took him away, yet Yang Yun's Qi Luck decreased instead.
It seemed that the appearance of the demon soul wasn't necessarily a good thing for Yang Yun.
Recalling the system's explanation earlier.
Yang Yun had been wary of the demon soul all these years and had never allowed it to emerge.
Therefore, the demon soul had never had the chance to control his body.
This time, forced by the circumstances, he released the demon soul.
Once released, it would be hard to take it back.
The demon soul occupied part of the protagonist's Qi Luck, so Yang Yun's own Qi Luck naturally declined.
The two weren't just coexisting.
They were also competitors for the body.
"There's no need to be overly frustrated. The Demon Lord's cultivation has now greatly declined. It will take a full ten years to recover. I think he is also very wary of that demon soul. The two of them will most likely struggle against each other," Liuli said after analyzing the situation. "In that case, forcing out this demon soul may not be a bad thing."
"Indeed. At least we are now prepared," Qing Yun added.
Ji Wusi sighed, "A demon soul alone is not something to fear. When it saw us earlier, it chose to flee rather than fight, which shows its strength is inferior to ours. What I fear is whether this demon soul is connected to the extraterrestrial demons. If it exposes the location of this world…"
Everyone fell silent.
Yun Jin knew that in the short term, there was no such risk.
But she couldn't explain how she knew this, so she could only remain silent.
"We can only do our best," Liuli said after a moment of silence.
They had originally thought that this world was temporarily relatively peaceful.
But now it seems.
There were countless hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface.
"Xiao Jin. Things here are nearly settled, we must head to Qingxiao Pavilion immediately," Ji Wusi said seriously.
At this moment, he felt extremely uneasy.
The mysterious liquid.
The Demon Lord, the demon soul.
And… Qingxiao Pavilion.
All of it seemed to weave into a vast net, covering the entire human realm.
That mysterious liquid only lost its effect upon death.
If Qingxiao Pavilion truly had issues, their ability to remain hidden for so long was probably related to that liquid.
This investigation would most likely yield no results.
They couldn't simply slaughter everyone in Qingxiao Pavilion to verify.
However.
Even if it yielded nothing, they still had to make the trip.
He wanted to see what kind of explanation Lin Xiao would give this time.
Even if Lin Xiao managed to argue his way out of it.
Ji Wusi believed that doubt had already taken root.
The other two holy lands would no longer trust Qingxiao Pavilion unconditionally.
After this matter.
He could find a way to form a deeper alliance with the other two holy lands.
They would exclude Qingxiao Pavilion.
Then gradually weaken Qingxiao Pavilion's influence. Otherwise, if Qingxiao Pavilion really had issues, the damage caused by a holy land's betrayal would be too great.
Of course, Qingxiao Pavilion wouldn't simply allow this to happen.
As one of the holy lands, Qingxiao Pavilion possessed Immortal Artifacts to suppress the sect and gather Qi Luck.
Unless, a new sect was born in this region. That sect would have to rise rapidly, gradually suppress Qingxiao Pavilion's influence, and seize its Qi Luck.
Only then could Qingxiao Pavilion truly decline.
Ji Wusi subconsciously glanced at Yun Jin.
In the next moment.
He shook his head inwardly.
He'd really gone mad.
To actually think that the newly established Wushuang Sect could accomplish such a thing.
Wushuang Sect did indeed have some foundation, and Xiao Jin was indeed exceptionally talented.
But… compared to a behemoth like Qingxiao Pavilion, the gap was still far too great.
Ji Wusi sighed and didn't say anything more. He stepped onto his sword and vanished into the horizon, with the others following one after another.
