In reality, soul attacks and defense can only be done after reaching the martial practitioner realm. Ye Zifeng was in the 4th stage of qi refining so he didn't know any soul attacks. However, after taking the Spirit Binding Pill, he was able to defend against soul attacks for a short period of time.
"It's coming." Ye Zifeng raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from the formation. An extremely cold soul spirit was slowly approaching him.
This soul attack wasn't fatal. It was meant to knock Ye Zifeng off the stairway. After all, no one wanted to kill Ye Zifeng.
However, Ye Zifeng didn't just want to defend against this soul attack. If someone wants to harm him, then they'll pay the price.
… …
"How is it? Did you find Ye Zifeng's level?" Shen Li asked Elder Zhao. It was not an easy task for cultivators in the Martial Warrior Realm to control their Spiritual Thoughts in a fine manner.
If someone else appeared on Ye Zifeng's level, then it would be hard for them to attack Ye Zifeng. Because of this, Shen Li was very anxious right now.
"Almost there. It's almost there." Elder Zhao closed his eyes and sent his soul spirit up the Path of Suffering. Other than Ye Zifeng, the other qi refining stage disciples didn't notice anything strange at all.
"Be careful. Make sure your soul spirit is smaller. Don't let anyone else see it." Shen Li looked at the other elders and warned them.
"Okay. I know what I'm doing. Don't make a sound. Let me calm down. "
When a martial practitioner cultivator uses their soul spirit, they need to calm down and slowly enter their consciousness to control it.
"Huh? Weird. Why can't I move my soul spirit …."
Elder Zhao's expression became especially strange, and his expression became incomparably interesting.
"Hold on. Maybe I didn't control it well enough. Let me release some more soul spirit." Elder Zhao awkwardly smiled and closed his eyes. After a while, he sent his soul spirit into the formation again.
After a while, he was shocked, "How is this possible? Why can't I move my soul spirit again …. "
Shen Li furrowed his brows, "Why can't you move? As a martial practitioner, don't tell me that you're not good at controlling your soul spirit?"
"You're the one who's not skilled enough. I've already learned how to control my soul spirit a few years ago."
"Then tell me, if it wasn't for your lack of skills, how could you have done it? Why didn't you find Ye Feng? Why can't you move this strand of spiritual will? "
Elder Zhao coldly snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with Shen Li's unwarranted slander.
"Alright. If you're strong, then use your soul spirit to attack Ye Zifeng. How about I keep watch for you? "
Useless thing, Shen Li cursed in his heart. He couldn't even deal with a disciple at the 4th level of the Qi Refining Stage, yet he still had to deal with him. He really didn't know if this old man surnamed Zhao still had any face left.
"Fine, I'll do it. You stay at the side and suppress the ripples of the formation. Don't let others see anything."
Shen Li took a deep breath. A wisp of pure and clear soul consciousness, which seemed to be completely transparent, blew into this magic formation along with a gentle breeze.
Ye Zifeng's expression changed. He had been paying attention to the core of the formation. Even though someone was suppressing the ripples, it still couldn't escape Ye Zifeng's eyes.
He laughed coldly, and his heart suddenly became very clear. "So there is more than one person who wants to harm me. That's good. If you send a strand of soul spirit over, I'll seal it. Let's see who can last longer! "
… …
"How is it? Did you find where Ye Zifeng is?" Elder Zhao saw that Shen Li didn't react and couldn't help but ask.
Shen Li searched for a while and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Got it! Elder Zhao, I told you that you're not good at controlling souls. You didn't believe me. Look, I ….. "
His expression suddenly changed. It was as if he was petrified. As for the second half of the sentence, he couldn't say it out loud.
Elder Zhao furrowed his brows, "Elder Shen. Elder Shen. Say something ….. Say something ….."
Shen Li stared at Elder Zhao and opened his mouth wide, "How is this possible? Even my soul spirit couldn't move when I saw Ye Zifeng. This shouldn't be possible ….. "
Elder Zhao was shocked, "You too?"
"So you're saying that you were like this before?" Shen Li was shocked.
The two of them looked at each other and started to think. This was the first time they had seen something like this happen. Two senior martial artists had used soul attacks on Ye Zifeng, who was at the 4th stage of qi refining. Not only did they fail, they couldn't even move a strand of their own soul.
After a while, Elder Zhao's face darkened and his mouth twitched, "Elder Shen, could it be that your Ashen Spirit Sect's disciples are able to learn soul spirit techniques while they're in the qi refining stage?"
Shen Li shook his head, "How is that possible? Let's not talk about our Ashen Spirit Sect. Even in the entire Martial Spirit Continent, there isn't a single qi refining stage disciple that can use soul spirit techniques. I believe that your Tiandao City doesn't have such a disciple either. "
Elder Zhao thought about it and agreed. If the Ashen Spirit Sect's disciples could learn soul spirit techniques while in the qi refining stage, then that would be heaven defying. What's the use of martial artists? With three hundred qi refining stage disciples, they would be able to wipe out many big clans.
"Then could it be ….. Did Ye Zifeng bring in some sort of soul spirit treasure?" Elder Zhao thought for a bit and came up with another reason.
Shen Li shook his head again, "That's not possible. Every single person that enters the Heavenly Clan Gathering has their belongings checked. We only let them in after making sure that they don't have any treasures on them."
Every one of Elder Zhao's hypotheses was directly refuted by Shen Li. The two of them couldn't figure out what had happened when they had used their soul attacks.
"Why don't the two of us ignore the consequences and attack together?"
Elder Zhao had a fierce look in his eyes. After reaching the martial practitioner realm, he would occasionally suffer losses when fighting against cultivators of the same level. However, when facing Ye Zifeng, a qi refining stage disciple, he lost two strands of his soul spirit. He couldn't take this lying down.
Shen Li shook his head, "No no no. That's not good. If we attack together, no one will be able to suppress the formation. People will definitely find out."
Elder Zhao's expression sank, "Are we going to let Ye Zifeng continue like this? After the Heavenly Clan Gathering, we'll let the Ye clan rise up and turn a blind eye?"
"Did you forget? Other than Ye Zifeng, there's someone else in the Ye clan. How about we start with something simple? "
Elder Zhao's eyes lit up, "I've noticed it before. It's a girl at the 8th stage of qi refining."
"Her name is Ye Xueyi. She's Ye Zifeng's sister. We can take care of her first ….."
Elder Zhao sighed and nodded, "Okay. This way, we'll be able to answer to the big clans. The problem is, who's going to do it?"
"I'll do it. I don't trust you too much." Shen Lisi bluntly replied.
His expression immediately became solemn. It was obvious that he had separated a strand of his soul consciousness and entered the Heaven Stairway Array. He was wandering around in search of Ye Xue Yi's location.
Elder Zhao's expression froze. Although he was angry, he still suppressed the ripples of spiritual energy so that others wouldn't find out. After all, they were in the same boat now.
He coldly replied, "Go ahead. I hope that you won't act like how you dealt with Ye Zifeng ….." Before Elder Zhao could finish his sentence, Shen Li's expression changed.
"Oh my god ….." Shen Li's face darkened. He felt a sweetness in his throat and blood started to drip down from the corner of his mouth.
"What's going on ….." Elder Zhao was startled and quickly went over to support Shen Li. He didn't want anyone to see Shen Li's distressed expression.
Ye Xueyi was at the 8th stage of qi refining. She was four stages higher than Ye Zifeng. The Spirit Binding Pill she took not only had the effect of trapping Shen Li's soul spirit, but it also had the effect of counterattacking. Shen Li, who was caught off guard, was at a disadvantage.
"How is this possible? If it's only once then it's fine. If it's twice then it's a coincidence. But what's going on the third time? What's going on with the Ye clan? Could it be that a mere qi refining stage disciple knows how to use soul spirit techniques? "Shen Li couldn't help but curse.
Elder Zhao was also shocked. He believed in Shen Li's strength as an elder of the Ashen Spirit Sect. However, the more he believed in it, the more unbelievable he felt.
If they really wanted to use their soul spirit to attack Ye Zifeng, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, the difference between a martial artist and a qi refining stage cultivator was too big. Only during the Heavenly Clan Gathering would they act sneakily. They didn't want others to find out so they suppressed their soul spirit attacks to the minimum. This gave Ye Zifeng an opportunity to attack.
However, the problem was that there were eight other people controlling the formation. They didn't dare to increase the strength of their soul spirit attacks.
"It seems like we can ignore Ye Zifeng and Ye Xueyi for now. How about we make a move on that Ye Huichi? " Shen Li's expression was wooden. At this moment, he couldn't even stand straight. If he were to make a move on Ye Huichi again, then his confidence would be gone.
"That's right. No matter what, we need to give the Xiao clan an explanation ….." Elder Zhao also had a blank expression on his face.
… …
On the other side, Ye Huichi finally managed to escape from the Xiao clan's disciples. He raised his arms and shouted with pride.
"This is great. I've finally reached the 19th step of the Heavenly Stairway!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gust of cold air falling from the sky and pouring into the top of his head, covering his entire body. His eyes suddenly widened, and before he could even say a word, he suddenly collapsed and fell from the high Heaven Stairway …
