Under the bright moonlight, the black Great Traversal Spirit Ship sped through the night sky. It was still heading far away from the Myriad God Ridge. Yi Yun was in no hurry to return. Instead, he went straight to the Great Traversal Spirit Ship's control room.
The control room was equivalent to the heart of the Great Traversal Spirit Ship. Here, the spirit ship's user only needed to divert a sliver of their perception to easily control the spirit ship. At the same time, they could do whatever they wanted.
"The core array formation is here."
Yi Yun probed it with his perception and indeed, he captured a mental imprint. For an artifact as valuable as the Great Traversal Spirit Ship, its owner would naturally leave behind a mental imprint after refining it.
This mental imprint had been repeatedly tempered and was impregnable. It was not easily removed unless the wielder's soul strength was comparable to the artifact's original owner's.
Yi Yun took a glance at the imprint. In terms of strength, Yi Yun was now at the fifth-storey Dao Palace. His strength had improved greatly, but he believed that he was still inferior to Song Guangyan, especially in terms of soul strength.
If he wanted to refine the soul strength, he would need a day or two to slowly grind it down. But by then, Song Guangyan would have sensed something amiss and chased up to the spirit ship.
In fact, Song Guangyan would have sensed it the moment Yi Yun took action.
To destroy the mental imprint, he had to be fast! However, Yi Yun was completely helpless against it.
"Xie'er."
Yi Yun called out inwardly. The next moment, a tiny pagoda flew out of Yi Yun's dantian. Following that, the tiny pagoda burned with layers of black flames. An adorable girl with some baby fat appeared in the flames.
"Brother Yi Yun, why did you call for Xie'er?"
Ling Xie'er had spent most of her time in slumber over the past few years. Ever since she woke up and walked out of the worldly array that restricted her, her strength had not only increased, but her fusion with the Heretical God Fire Seed had also deepened.
Now, although she did not have much combat strength, her control over the Heretical God Fire Seed was much better than Yi Yun's. Just this alone was enough to deal immense damage.
Furthermore … in terms of soul strength, Ling Xie'er, who was a natural wonder, was far superior to the typical warrior.
She had existed alone in the Sun Burial Sandsea for hundreds of millions of years as a soul body. Over all that time, her soul strength was much stronger than Yi Yun's.
"Xie'er, can you burn this mental imprint in fifteen minutes?"
Yi Yun asked.
Ling Xie'er glanced at the array disc and nodded. "Okay."
As she spoke, Ling Xie'er walked out of the flames and transformed into a fair and tender little girl. Her little hands moved, forming seals one after another. The Heretical God's Flame directly integrated into her divine soul, turning into a divine soul fire that could burn away all spiritual imprints.
"Hu!"
The flames burned in the array disc, but there was no heat. But if one's soul was here, they would feel the terrifying flames that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth. This was a flame that specialized in burning souls.
"Chi chi chi!"
The array disc trembled violently in the flames, and the shadow of an old man's face appeared out of thin air. He struggled and howled in the flames!
He suddenly looked at Yi Yun and Ling Xie'er with a hideous look on his old face.
"You …"
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, as if he wanted to use all of his strength to transmit the images he saw. But how could Ling Xie'er let him do as he wished? Her small hands moved, and the divine soul flames turned into a cage that completely surrounded the old man!
Peng!
With a loud explosion, the old man's face was reduced to ashes in the flames!
At the same time, in an inn half a million miles away —
"Boom!"
An explosion boomed as the entire room was blasted to smithereens.
An elder with disheveled hair walked out of the room. His face was abnormally pale.
He was none other than Song Guangyan.
Just a moment ago, he sensed that the soul mark he had left in the Great Traversal Spirit Ship had been destroyed!
From the moment his soul mark was attacked to the moment it was completely destroyed, only a few seconds had passed. The killer did not even have the time to transmit any information!
This also caused Song Guangyan's Divine Soul to be injured. That Divine Soul mark was equivalent to a tiny Divine Soul avatar of Song Guangyan. Now, he had completely lost this avatar. Without the nourishment of some heavenly materials, it would be impossible for him to recover.
"Who is it!?"
Song Guangyan's expression was hideous. He had owned the Great Traversal Spirit Ship for tens of thousands of years. His soul mark had been reinforced numerous times, making it extremely sturdy. How could it be destroyed in less than a minute?
This proved that the person's soul strength was definitely stronger than his!
Song Guangyan was already a Divine Lord, so it was likely that the person was an old monster that had lived for countless years.
The person's strength probably exceeded his by a large margin. As such, Song Guangyan did not know who the person was. Even if he did, he would not be able to seek revenge. The spirit ship was definitely in the hands of the person and there was no way to retrieve it.
He knew that the depths of the Calm Sea were fraught with danger, but he never expected to encounter such a mishap in less than a day. It was just too fast.
"Darn it! Bowen has probably been killed. "
Song Guangyan's expression was extremely ugly. He felt the pinch for his spirit ship but he was also worried for Song Bowen.
Song Bowen was the only personal disciple of the Song family. He was the only son of the family. Apart from him, the Zhang family, which had a marriage alliance with the Song family, only had one personal disciple, Zhang Wuchen.
Once the two of them perished, the Song and Zhang families would face the awkward situation of having no successors. They had to nurture another outstanding junior within a thousand years or their standing in the Myriad God Ridge would plummet.
At that moment, Song Guangyan no longer had the mood to stay in the inn. He rushed to the Myriad God Ridge overnight to immediately hold a family meeting to discuss the matter.
…
"Xie 'er, you are so impressive!"
Yi Yun was truly astonished when he saw Ling Xie 'er's powers.
Ling Xie 'er smiled happily when she received Yi Yun's praise. She knew that Yi Yun had spent a great deal of effort to awaken her over the past two decades. To her, Yi Yun was the most important person in her life. She was naturally happy to be able to help him.
"Xie 'er, I think it's time to find you a mystic technique that specializes in cultivating the soul," said Yi Yun.
In the past, he only knew that Ling Xie 'er's soul was powerful. After all, she was a soul body to begin with. However, he never expected that after she fused with the Heretical God Fire Seed, she would transform into a flame that specialized in burning the soul. Even a Divine Lord realm expert's psyche mark would be reduced to ash in less than a minute.
If he specifically nurtured Ling Xie 'er's abilities in this aspect, wouldn't she be able to defeat her enemies by surprise?
Soul attacks were also considered a martial path. However, few people went too far down this path. After all, the soul was protected by the body. It was not easy to directly destroy it.
