"Bzzz."
"Plop."
"Ahhh."
The speed of Xing Jue's fall was very fast. When he fell into the huge Spirit Formation entrance, he actually passed right through it. When Xing Jue landed on the ground, he felt dizzy and saw stars. If the Spirit Formation entrance didn't reduce the inertia by quite a bit, Xing Jue would have fallen to his death from such a height.
"Ahh, it hurts!"
After he regained consciousness, Xing Jue rubbed his dizzy head and took out a high-grade pill from the Soul Devouring Mandate to put it in his mouth. Though Xing Jue's injuries weren't serious, taking a pill would help him recover faster.
"Bzzz."
As expected, when the pill entered his mouth, Xing Jue could feel a warm aura spreading throughout his body. The pain from his fall was quickly alleviated, and when his vision returned, everything in front of him was clearly reflected in Xing Jue's eyes.
This was a circular hall. It was very spacious, so spacious that it looked like a plaza. The decorations of the hall were rather simple. It couldn't be said to be grand or luxurious. In fact, it could be said to be crude. It was obvious that the hall had been built in a hurry.
However, it was worth mentioning that there was a Spirit Formation gate in the surroundings of the palace hall, and above the palace hall was a lake that resembled an inverted image. However, it was only an inverted image, and not a real lake. That was because it was the place where Xing Jue had fallen, the enormous Spirit Formation.
"Bzzz, bzzz."
Just as Xing Jue was observing the barrier above him, two ripples suddenly appeared in the middle of the barrier. Two familiar figures appeared. One was Xue Mei, and the other was a Soul Exalt. The two of them were currently descending from above.
"Senior!"
But when Xing Jue saw the Soul Exalt, his expression changed greatly. He was shocked to find that the Soul Exalt's body was almost transparent. He could only make out his facial features, and his aura was so weak that Xing Jue was shocked.
"Bzzz."
As if hearing Xing Jue's shout, the Soul Exalt tilted his head slightly and showed a faint smile. Then, he turned into a wisp of pale white light and circled around Xing Jue a few times before fusing into Xing Jue's body.
At that moment, Xing Jue was shocked to find that after the Soul Exalt fused into his body, the contract he signed with him disappeared without a trace.
"Senior …"
When he realized this, Xing Jue's legs gave way and he fell to the ground again. He couldn't feel the Soul Exalt's aura at all. This meant that the Soul Exalt, the legendary Exalt, had died.
At this moment, Xing Jue's eyes were slightly red, and he felt extremely pained inside. It was not because of the Soul Exalt's death that he had lost a legendary Exalt Weapon, but because the Soul Exalt had died because of him.
"Damn it!"
At that moment, Xue Mei's voice suddenly came from not far away from Xing Jue. When he looked over, Xing Jue realized that Xue Mei was sitting not far away from him. She was rubbing her head while staring at him with her blood-red eyes.
"Sh * t!"
When he thought about how the Soul Exalt was no longer here and how he had to face Xue Mei alone, who had killed the Soul Exalt, Xing Jue couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb. He felt a chill in his heart and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead.
"This aura …"
However, at that moment, Xing Jue was shocked to find that Xue Mei's aura had become much weaker. It was so weak that she was only at the level of a high-rank Battle-Saint. She was actually on par with him.
"Hmph, that old man is dead. It's your turn now." Xue Mei's lips curled into a cold smile when she saw Xing Jue looking at her. As she spoke, she stood up and a strong killing intent radiated from her body. She was actually going to attack Xing Jue.
"Ahh!"
However, just as she stood up, she suddenly knelt on the ground and hugged her head with both hands. She began to howl in pain.
"Ahh ~ ~ ~ Damn it, let me kill him, let me kill him!!!"
Xue Mei hugged her head with both hands and rolled around on the ground. She roared as if she was enduring great pain. It wasn't just her body, but her heart as well. She only found peace after a while.
"What the hell is this girl doing?"
At that moment, Xing Jue had already taken out his strongest spiritual weapon, the Black Curse Sword. He hid in a corner of the hall and watched Xue Mei nervously. He didn't dare to be careless at all.
"Brother!" Suddenly, Xue Mei sat up. Her blood-red eyes, which were filled with killing intent earlier, were now as gentle as water.
"Brother? You, you're calling me brother? " Xing Jue's eyes widened when he saw Xue Mei, who had wanted to kill him earlier, suddenly call him so intimately. His face was filled with shock and bewilderment.
"Brother, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I couldn't control my consciousness and committed such a sin of murder. I even … almost killed you, I … Ahh ~ ~ ~"
However, what surprised Xing Jue the most was that Xue Mei actually started crying. Looking at the tears that kept falling from her blood-red eyes, Xing Jue felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.
"Sister, w-what's going on?"
Looking at Xue Mei, Xing Jue clenched his teeth and walked up to her. This was because Xing Jue realized that Xue Mei was no longer the cold Xue Mei from before. Instead, she was more like the cowardly Xue Mei in the prison cell.
"Brother, I have the body of an evil spirit. As I grow older, the body of an evil spirit will become more merciless and brutal, especially after I obtain power.
"Back then, I was locked up in the secret chamber by Master Li and was tortured by him. I wanted to end my life many times, but he didn't even give me the chance to die.
"Besides, he used all kinds of methods to bully and humiliate me. He said that I would only drink the blood of animals to prolong my life, but who knew he would let me drink human blood and only tell me after I drank it for a few years.
"At that moment, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to kill this person in front of me. So, I began to secretly cultivate the cultivation method in my memory while he fed me his blood."
"However, the more I cultivated, the more I felt that something was wrong with me. Cruel thoughts would often appear in my mind. They were so cruel that I couldn't tolerate them, but I couldn't change them. It was as if I wasn't the only soul in my body. There was another me.
"Moreover, the thoughts kept appearing in my mind and it changed all my previous knowledge and beliefs. Gradually, I realized that I couldn't continue to cultivate that cultivation method. However, it was too late. I couldn't control myself anymore.
"The other me in my body could already control my body. It tried to devour me and completely take over my body."
At that point, Xue Mei's tears fell like rain. Her pure and innocent face was filled with pain and regret. It was as if she hated herself for having those cruel thoughts in her mind.
Looking at Xue Mei, Xing Jue felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He knew that it wasn't that there was another him in Xue Mei's body. It was just that the cultivation method he cultivated had begun to change his personality. It was because she had been too kind before, kind to the point of being weak.
When her extreme kindness encountered extreme cruelty, she would develop this illusion. It was the illusion that there were two people in her body. However, as Master Li continued to ravage her inhumanely, more vicious thoughts sprouted in her mind. Gradually, her kind nature grew thinner and thinner.
The reason why Xing Jue would develop such complicated emotions was because Xue Mei was an extremely kind girl. That was because Xue Mei was originally an extremely kind girl. It was that heartless Lord Li who had forcefully changed her and turned her into what she was now.
"Sister, why did your strength decrease?"
Even though he already knew why Xue Mei had two extreme states, Xing Jue didn't know why her strength would suddenly decrease. Regarding this matter, Xing Jue had to find out while Xue Mei was still being kind.
"My body is very special. It has a tenacious life force. Even if the origin of my soul is fatally injured, I won't die so easily. I will only decrease my strength. However, if I can obtain the blood of a strong person, not only can I recover my previous strength, I can also become stronger.
"When I first fought Master Li, I was only at the peak of a beginner level Wargod. After I killed him, I was also heavily injured, causing my strength to decrease greatly. However, I absorbed Master Li's blood.
"Even though Master Li is only at the beginner level of the Wargod level, he has also reached the peak of the Wargod level. On top of that, he refined the blood of thousands of people that night. So, after I completely refined his blood in a few days, I broke through to the intermediate level of the Wargod level in one fell swoop," Xue Mei said solemnly when she heard Xing Jue's question.
"What a strange body. No wonder the Body of an Evil Spirit is hated by so many people. It's too scary."
After hearing Xue Mei's words, Xing Jue's heart trembled even more. This was because he truly felt that Xue Mei's ability was too terrifying. If she could maintain a kind heart, then it would be fine. However, if she had a heart that hated the world, then she was destined to cause a storm of blood and become a calamity for the world.
"Then, Xue Mei, do you know where this place is?"
Xing Jue asked curiously again. Even though Xue Mei had been imprisoned for a long time, she was still a member of the Li Clan, so she might know where this place was. Most importantly, Xing Jue's intuition told him that this place was very likely related to Xue Mei. He didn't think that the Li Clan could build a secret room of such scale.
"Brother, this is the place that Master Li has always wanted to know about. This is the treasure that my parents left for me," Xue Mei wiped away the tears on her face and said calmly.
