The strange energy was gentle at first but when it got close to Chu Li, it became violent like a tidal wave.
Chu Li's soul was immersed in a layer of warm water and it felt very comfortable. He was not afraid of the strong sun or the chilly wind. But when this energy came, he realized that he was in mortal danger and wanted to escape.
"Bang!" The black pearl turned into thick ink and splashed towards him.
Chu Li felt his soul suddenly become heavier as if it was soaked in water like cotton. His original lightness and agility disappeared and he became powerless. Forget about shifting the void, it was difficult for him to even move a little.
Xu Jingyi was surprised when she saw the black light in the void. She thought it was the senior's soul but why did it turn into a black light? It seemed like the appearance of a soul was not good.
"Senior?" She asked hesitantly.
"Heh heh …" A cold chuckle suddenly rang out, startling Xu Jingyi. She hurriedly turned around and saw an old woman in black standing in the air with a dragon-headed walking stick in her hand. The head of the walking stick was a sinister and terrifying skull.
"Grandmother Lu?" Xu Jingyi was surprised, "Why are you here?"
She looked at the black light not far away and had a bad feeling.
This Grandmother Lu was an elder of the Divine Religion. She was very elusive and only appeared during important ceremonies. Her cultivation level was unfathomable. Chu Li did not expect her to suddenly appear here.
Her expression did not look right either. It was filled with murderous intent.
Grandmother Lu looked at Chu Li's soul and chuckled, "Silly girl, you've been tricked and you still don't know anything!"
"Who was tricked?" Xu Jingyi quickly said, "Me? Grandmother Lu, this senior saved me, he did not trick me! "
"To take something, you must first give something. Don't you understand this?" Grandmother Lu had a kind face.
Xu Jingyi shook her head, "But no matter what, my life was saved by the senior. If it wasn't for him, I would've been dead. Even if he wanted to harm me, I'll pay him back with my life."
"Sigh … what a silly girl. Souls and humans are different." Grandmother Lu sighed, "You can't talk about relationships with souls. They only care about benefits and not feelings."
Chu Li's voice was suppressed by an invisible force. His soul felt like it was falling into a bottomless abyss. Darkness kept surging to devour him. But when he heard Grandmother Lu's words clearly, he wanted to curse.
"Grandmother Lu, please spare senior's life!" Xu Jingyi bowed deeply.
She saw that the black light was twisting and moving, but there was no sound coming from it. She knew that it was struggling but it was futile. She wished she could help it, but she knew that it would be futile in front of Grandmother Lu.
"That's impossible. Who asked him to target our Divine Sect's disciple?" Grandmother Lu's face darkened, she said sternly, "No souls are allowed to touch you, or else you will be in danger. Silly girl, you don't understand this, let me teach you today, no matter what he has done to you, he will harm you in the end. Make him disappear, enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
As she spoke, she raised her dragon-head crutch. Two beams of black light shot out from the eye sockets of the skull and landed on the originally distorted black light. The black light became denser and denser, almost swallowing the surrounding light.
"Senior!" She was extremely anxious.
Granny Lu said in a deep voice, "Silly girl, there's no use in stopping me. If you continue to stop me, don't blame me for being merciless. Pleading on behalf of the soul is asking for it!"
"But …" Xu Jingyi sighed.
Granny Lu gave her a deep look and said, "Get out of the way, silly girl!"
"No way!" Xu Jingyi stood in front of the black light, she shook her head firmly and said, "Senior, this is my savior, I can't just sit back and do nothing."
"Sigh … you, what can you do? Do you think your Night Blooming Cereus can stop me?" Granny Lu shook her head and laughed, she said, "Get out of the way, don't hurt yourself!"
"I can't just sit back and do nothing!" Xu Jingyi's voice was gentle but her tone was firm, she said softly, "There are good and bad souls too, Granny Lu, you killed them without any reason, I can't agree with you!"
"It doesn't matter if I agree or not, I can't wait for you to suffer before I do anything." Granny Lu said slowly, "Do you think I'm going to hurt you?"
"No matter what, senior, you have saved my life!" Xu Jingyi said, "Is this how our Divine Sect treats our savior, repaying kindness with enmity regardless of the reason?"
"Souls that get close to humans do not have good intentions." Granny Lu's face darkened, she said coldly, "I hope you understand, Jingyi, souls will not save people for no reason, they will only harm people!"
Xu Jingyi just shook her head.
Granny Lu said, "Their bodies are dead, but their souls are still there, they will hate and be jealous of others, they will only harm people, they will never have good feelings towards people, they really want to save people."
"But souls are different from one soul to another." Xu Jingyi shook her head, she believed in her instincts, that senior who was an expert in formations definitely had no intention of harming her, or else she would be dead already.
She quickly said, "Granny Lu, this senior is different, he is a soul that ascended to this world, he lost his body because of an accident, as long as we can find his sect, we will be able to rebuild his body."
"Ascended to this world?" Granny Lu frowned, a bright light flashed in her eyes, she looked at the black light carefully, "Then what martial art is he cultivating, which sect is he from?"
"Venerable Sword Scripture." Xu Jingyi quickly said, "As long as we can find the Venerable Peak, we will be able to rebuild his body."
"The Venerable Peak of the Northern Region!" Granny Lu said coldly, "You want to send him there?"
"Yes." Xu Jingyi said, "Senior, you saved my life, of course I will help you get back!"
"Naive!" Granny Lu sneered, "Do you think the Northern Region is that easy? You entering the Northern Region is like a sheep walking into a pack of wolves, you are seeking your own death, just go back obediently! "
"I must escort the senior back to the Venerable Peak!" Xu Jingyi said softly, her bright eyes staring straight at Granny Lu.
Granny Lu frowned, "This person really has an ulterior motive, he deserves to die, I will kill him!"
After that, without waiting for Xu Jingyi to reply, she pointed her dragon-head crutch at Chu Li and two more black lights shot out. Chu Li felt like he was stuck in a rock, he could not move at all, he could only watch as the black lights shot towards him one after another, every time a black light shot towards him, it would get heavier and harder for him to move.
He wanted to save himself but he was powerless, he had not felt this way for a long time, it was unbearable and painful, he wanted nothing more than to howl at the sky and die together with his enemy, but he could not do that, no matter how hard he struggled, it was futile.
His mind raced, trying to think of a way to save himself, many mystical techniques were circulating in the void of his mind, every single one of them was chanting all kinds of Buddhist scriptures and Heavenly Demon Scriptures, all they could do was to keep him conscious and not be consumed by the black lights.
This was already an incredible achievement, any other soul that came into contact with this Soul Extinguishing Light would have already perished.
He did not know the origin of this Soul Extinguishing Light, it was forged from Sky Light Stone, it was extremely powerful, especially against souls, the reason why it was not well known was because it was only effective against souls, it was very weak against normal martial arts masters.
