After returning to the inn, Xu Chunniang greeted a few people and returned to her room.
After entering the room and confirming that the formations were in normal condition, she calmed down and asked about the black mist.
"What are you?"
Demon Soul's mind turned and his tone was sincere.
"I am nothing, and I have no ill intentions towards you. This is all just an intention..."
Before it could finish speaking, it saw the flames in front of its eyes suddenly jump several inches higher, almost reaching its body.
At the same time, a cold voice with murderous intent sounded in its mind.
"You want to say that this is all just an accident? Well, in that case, there is no need for you to exist."
"Ahhh...it's not an accident!"
The demon soul quickly changed its words, but it was still too late. Its body, which had shrunk by more than half, shrunk by half again.
Fortunately, it finally spoke in time and saved the other half of the body.
After saving a life again, Demon Soul was still frightened, and at the same time he also realized his own situation. Life and death depended only on other people's thoughts.
"Since it's not an accident, then you should explain clearly who you are and who brought you here."
The voice in his mind seemed to sense its fear and softened its murderous intent.
Demon Soul did not dare to speak nonsense anymore, so he had no choice but to tell his origin.
"I am a demon soul, and my master sent me here."
Demonic soul?
Xu Chunniang frowned, vaguely aware that she seemed to be involved in some kind of secret matter.
"What is a demon soul? Who is your master?"
"The demon soul is me, and my master is the one who created me. He is the most powerful person in the world, and the master is omnipotent."
Xu Chunniang automatically ignored the demon soul's praise for its so-called master, "Then what did he send you to do?"
The demon soul remained silent until the surrounding flames were only a few inches away from it, and it felt the threat of death before it hurriedly spoke.
"As a demon soul, it is natural that it will corrode and devour your soul..."
It originally thought that the owner of this body would become furious after learning the truth and set off a sea of fire to devour it.
But after waiting for a long time, the surrounding flames receded a little.
It blinked in confusion, and a new voice sounded in its mind.
"Swallow the soul, what happens next?"
"Of course it was replaced."
Instead...it is indeed the case.
There was a coldness in Xu Chunniang's eyes. She had vague suspicions when she realized that the demon soul had entered her body and tried to devour her soul.
Unexpectedly, she actually got the message.
She closed her eyes and thought carefully about what happened today.
After the words were released from the city lord's mansion, she and Huo Chunyan and others went to the city lord's mansion to witness the duel between Zhuge Yun and Xie Changyuan.
Then Zhuge Yun was defeated miserably, and finally she was attacked by a sneak attack when she was leaving.
All this seems to have nothing to do with it, but secretly it seems like there is a big net, slowly spreading out, waiting for prey to take the bait.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and opened her eyes. What happened today clearly meant that Zhuge Yun's Taoist heart was damaged and suffered a blow.
But in fact, everything Zhuge Yun suffered was on the surface.
But the crisis she encountered was hidden in the dark, making it even more dangerous.
If she hadn't had the Heavenly Fire, her soul would have been eroded by the demonic soul.
A solemn expression flashed across Xu Chunniang's face. If the demon soul could really replace it, it would not be noticed at all unless it could reveal its flaws.
An unpleasant thought arose in her mind. During this period, Shangguan Xue had been living in the city lord's mansion.
In Shangguan Xue's body... is she still the same person?
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang's expression changed.
In the past few years, the sect has vigorously investigated and found out some spies hiding in the sect.
Although the evil cultivators have been restless in the past two years, overall they have not caused any major troubles.
Unexpectedly, they have secretly refined something as sinister as "Devil Soul".
Not only can it kill people invisible, but it can also allow the demon soul to hide in the sect under the identity of the original disciple.
I just don’t know how many such demon souls there are.
Xu Chunniang felt a chill in her heart. This matter must be reported to the sect as soon as possible!
Just as she stood up and took two steps, she suddenly stopped.
In the eyes of the City Lord's Mansion, she was already a person possessed by a demonic soul. As long as she showed the slightest movement at this time, she would not be able to escape the eyes of those people.
If the people who did this were to know that not only was she not possessed by a demonic soul, but she was also suspected of being in the City Lord's Mansion...
I'm afraid that before she leaves Hunyuan City, she will risk her life here.
Xu Chunniang finally lowered her eyelids, sat back down, and continued to torture the demon soul in her soul.
"What will you do after you swallow my soul?"
Demon Soul was stunned for a moment, "This... I don't know."
Before it could even start, it was discovered and then placed in the fire for barbecue.
As if aware that the owner of this body was not satisfied with its answer, it quickly added a few words.
"But the master's order is that after replacing you, he should first act according to your character. Moreover, eroding the soul is a slow process and takes a long time."
"Does it take a long time? Aren't you a demon soul? You sound quite powerful. Even my strong consciousness can't stop you."
When the demon soul heard the compliment, he felt very proud.
"It is naturally very simple to devour the soul. To retain and integrate all the memories in the soul, it can only be slowly eroded little by little, and it will take months or even years."
Xu Chunniang was thoughtful. It seemed that in the short term, she didn't have to worry about the people from the City Lord's Mansion finding out that she had escaped the demon soul.
"Then is there any way for you and your master to communicate?"
"Within a certain range, the master and I can sense each other's existence and communicate in a unique way. But this place is too far away from the master and I can't sense it."
Xu Chunniang asked some more questions. In order to prevent the devil from deceiving her with false news, she even asked some questions three or four times in different ways.
However, although this demon soul is somewhat smart, it was born not long ago. Under the threat of death, what he said is true.
She didn't stop questioning until she couldn't find any more information.
The demon soul felt the slightly reduced heat around him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very satisfied with the outcome that he could escape with his life.
Xu Chunniang stayed in the room for a long time, until it got dark, then she pushed the door open and walked to Zhuge Yun's door based on her memory, tapping her fingers rhythmically on the door.
It was Zhao Xingsan who opened the door. When he saw Xu Chunniang, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
When she came back just now, her attitude towards Zhuge Yun could be said to be indifferent.
The whole afternoon, not a single word was spoken.
He thought he wouldn't see Senior Sister Xu here.
After all, he had vaguely heard someone mention the feud between Senior Sister Xu and Senior Brother Zhuge.
