Chu Yan listened carefully and heard that the person behind the gate of hell seemed to have encountered a very puzzling problem.
"Why... why... can you feel... that... breath..."
Yes, three words are starting to pop up. It seems to be a very troublesome problem.
Chu Yan did not ask directly, but used his spiritual consciousness to explore these souls.
When investigating Ke Yu and Pan Mengchen, Chu Yan was even more careful.
Because their souls are already very thin and fragile at this time.
If the souls of ordinary people were compared to a piece of paper, the souls of Ke Yu and Pan Mengchen were like rotten straw paper riddled with holes, and they were the kind that had been left in the strong wind.
It's scary that if you breathe harder, it will fall apart.
But after careful exploration, Chu Yan shook his head.
Apart from the weakness that can be seen at a glance, there is nothing special about these two souls.
"It seems that it is due to my own lack of realm." Chu Yan thought in his mind.
After pondering for a while, Chu Yan decided to take the initiative to ask.
"What breath?"
However, after hearing Chu Yan's question, the man behind the gate of hell still did not answer.
This time, Chu Yan felt that the other party was looking out for him.
This has never happened in the past.
"That... thing..."
"Shouldn't...should..."
Since the other party didn't answer, Chu Yan began to think about another question.
"What does Jin Zhuying want to do by imprisoning the souls of these people?"
Chu Yan didn't think Jin Zhuying was practicing the ghost way.
Because apart from the Yin Cao Soul Seizing Bell, there was nothing else related to the Yin Soul in his whole body.
Moreover, the other party has not used any ghost magic or supernatural powers.
But coincidentally, this magic weapon was obtained from Jin Zhuying, and the soul in it was related to Jin Zhuying.
"Even if he doesn't practice the ghost way, he must know the function of the Yincao Soul-Calling Bell." Chu Yan's heart moved.
His thinking at this time was like a line diverging from a midpoint to all directions.
Various possibilities are intertwined and gathered together, and then the unreasonable parts are eliminated.
Slowly, the last possible clue became clear in Chu Yan's mind.
"It's very likely that this Yin Cao Soul Capturing Bell was given to Jin Zhuying by General Yunxiao.
As for General Yunxiao, he is a senior member of the Ziwei Sect.
The mysterious scene I saw in the Xi family's treasury seemed to indicate that someone wanted to create a body.
The body is the container for the soul.”
In Chu Yan's mind, a picture became clearer and clearer.
"General Yunxiao was ordered by Emperor Taiqing.
So what does this Taiqing Emperor want to do?"
Just when this question popped up in my mind, the voice from the person behind the gate of hell suddenly came again.
"The soul...can...be...interrogated...and can be...powerful...soul..."
"Seizing souls can also be interrogated." Chu Yan said.
The answer I received was a disdainful snort from the man behind the gate of hell.
"Seizing souls...can only be done...once..."
Chu Yan's eyes lit up instantly: "What you mean is that by imprisoning the soul, you can read the soul's memory as many times as you want and understand everything this person has experienced, not just the memory, but also what he is thinking.
study?"
"As long as...the soul...is immortal...that's fine..."
Chu Yan nodded, completely understanding.
Compared to seizing souls, this method is more lasting.
After all, Soul Seizing can only be used once.
If you fail to find the information you need that time, there will be no second chance.
Moreover, there is a certain possibility that soul-stealing will cause backlash from the caster.
It's just that compared to the soul-stealing person turning into a dementia and a fool, the fate of the soul in front of him is much more miserable.
"As for the powerful soul -" Chu Yan pondered in his heart.
The one behind the gates of hell is unclear.
But Chu Yan was also serious and had been severely tortured by the orthodox inheritors of ghost ways.
And he has read the ghost training books in more detail than others.
So Chu Yan knew that the powerful soul he did was actually a bit similar to the "swallowing" of cultivators.
Cultivators improve their elemental attributes or condense their bodies by devouring heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Ghosts, on the other hand, strengthen their own souls by devouring the souls of other living beings.
As for its function, Chu Yan only knows one thing, that is, the stronger his soul is, the more powerful the ghosts he can control will be, and the number of ghosts he can control will be greater.
However, the real effect must be more than this, but Chu Yan is not clear about it.
The man behind the gate of hell must know, but he refuses to say anything.
When Chu Yan asked, the other party simply started to pretend to be silent.
Chu Yan had no way to pry the other party's mouth open, so he had no choice but to give up.
However, Chu Yan remembered that there was something special about these souls that made the man behind the gate of hell particularly concerned about them.
"Either it's a way to extract these souls, or it's a way to imprison these souls here." Chu Yan analyzed in his mind.
"If it was a method to imprison the soul, then his attention at that time should not be on the soul, but on the Yin Cao Soul Seizing Bell.
In this case, what makes him care so much is the method of extracting souls.
As for the purpose of extracting souls.
In the Tianya Sect, Ke Yu and Pan Mengchen were just small figures who were not even qualified to enter the Ziwei Sect.
Then naturally there is no special information in their souls.
From this point of view, it is very possible to use their souls to strengthen, condense other souls, or do other things."
Chu Yan vaguely felt that he was only a few steps away from the truth.
It's just that I have too little information, so I can only see through a gauze curtain at this moment. I can only see the outline of the truth, but I can't see what is going on.
As for the key to solving the puzzle, it seems that it is still in the hands of the one behind the gate of hell.
But if the other party doesn't say anything, there's nothing we can do about it. We can only stop worrying about it for the time being.
After sorting out his thoughts, Chu Yan took a breath and said: "It seems that what this Ziwei Sect is doing is much more complicated and far-reaching than I imagined.
I just don’t know why, but my involvement with the Ziwei Sect seems to be getting deeper and deeper now.”
After a while, Chu Yan shook his head and put aside the messy thoughts in his mind. After first returning his attention to the matter in front of him, he took out the spirit boat again, took Yingjun and Tangtang with him, and headed towards the West Sea.
.
Jin Zhuying was rescued by General Yunxiao, and the other three who were killed were also General Yunxiao's men.
In other words, there is still the problem of General Yunxiao, which has not yet been solved, so we cannot take it lightly at this time.
On the spirit boat, Chu Yan did not let down his guard at all.
At the same time, on a group of rocks in the vast sea.
Tang Lianxing glanced at the horizon in the distance, then turned around and looked at the person behind him with a faint gaze.
