Chapter 221 - 221 Gathering of Souls

221 Gathering of Souls

As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Sect Master Wei Nan took out a magic artifact, and a huge water screen appeared.

Many of the junior disciples had never seen it before and could only exclaim in admiration.

Dong Xi, who came from the 21st century, had seen the dopey curtain before, so it was easy for her to accept that the water curtain was just a huge curtain that had been enlarged.

With the water screen, the people at the back could see clearly.

Wei Nan stood where he was. Beside him were his eldest disciple and Master Yijian.

There was a table in front of them, and on it were the life plates of the disciples who had died unjustly. They were all shattered.

Wei Nan spread out his spirit sense, and his voice was filled with spirit energy so that every disciple could hear him. Wei Nan said, “Previously, our disciples who went out to train were ambushed. Unfortunately, these disciples were killed, and the other disciples who returned also paid a heavy price. Today, I’m going to gather souls in front of everyone. If I succeed, I’ll help us find out who dared to touch our disciples. At that time, I’ll definitely not let these people go!”

Wei Nan’s words stirred up the crowd. It was as if with a single order from the Sect Master, everyone would rush out and trample on those dogs.

On the water screen, the Sect Master’s every movement could be clearly seen.

Wei Nan looked at his eldest disciple, who immediately took out the Soul-Amassing Lamp.

The people around Dong Xi started to whisper. According to what they said, this Soul-Amassing Lamp was exchanged by the Sect Master with the Backtracking Mirror.

Dong Xi had heard of this news long ago, but she did not take it to heart. Then she heard everyone say that the elder of the Masked Moon Sect was very unwilling to accept the death of his grandson and probably wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Dong Xi seemed to have thought of something. At first, she was stunned, then her expression changed and she directly sucked in a cold breath.

The enmity between the Masked Moon Sect and the Sect of Imperial Beasts had been spread by Dong Xi. Even the location had been sent to the jade slip by Dong Xi. Now that the Masked Moon Sect had used the Backtracking Mirror to check, wouldn’t they see her…

No, it did not matter whether they saw it or not. After all, Dong Xi was also a victim. But if they saw the big snake, what would they do?

Dong Xi knew that the great snake was a Demon Lord Commander, and he salso knew that these people said that the Righteous and the Demon could not coexist.

However, the big snake and Dong Xi were now in the same boat. Not only did they have a contract, but the big snake’s inner core was also in Dong Xi’s Dantian.

Even if Dong Xi said he accidentally ate it, would others believe her?

Dong Xi sat on the little green leaf, feeling uneasy. She could not wait to send a message to the big snake to ask.

However, Dong Xi and the snake were not good friends at all. Damn it… It was such a superficial friendship.

On the water curtain, the eldest disciple of Wei Nan had already arranged the formation, spirit stones, pills, and magic weapons needed for the soul gathering.

Then, he placed the Soul-Amassing Lamp in the middle and lit it up.

At this moment, the elder standing beside Wei Nan injected spiritual Qi into the formation, and the runes of the formation lit up one by one.

Everyone was silent. They watched quietly, afraid that any noise would lead to failure.

The rain suddenly stopped.

The dark clouds in the sky became thicker, and the cold wind blew, making the surroundings a little darker.

It was as if the Soul-Amassing Lamp was the only source of light in the world.

Dong Xi looked at the Life Token on the table and frowned, her hands clenched into fists.

Finally, a Life Token lit up.

Everyone hurriedly looked over, and Dong Xi became even more nervous.

After a quarter of an hour, two more life tablets lit up. Everyone was overjoyed.

However, the other Life Token did not have any reaction.

When the sky brightened, the wisp of the Soul-Amassing Lamp shook a few times and then went out.

Wei Nan was not surprised to see this.

“The yang Qi here is too strong,” Wei Nan said directly. “Everyone, leave.”

After saying that, Wei Nan waved his hand, and three lit life tokens appeared in his hands. Then, he disappeared, and the other elders also disappeared, leaving everyone with a confused look.

Life and death were the opposite. The living could not touch the Qi of death, and their souls would also be affected by the Qi of yang.

It was already very difficult for the Sect Master to set up the formation and let everyone see the gathering of souls. Now, everyone could only wait for the news.

Ke Xin’s expression was somewhat sorrowful. She sighed softly and said, “It seems that only three disciples have been saved.”

Chi Yan disagreed and said, “The strength of the souls is different. Some people will be taken to the Ghost Realm when they die, while others will stay in the Human Realm for a long time. Only the souls that stay in the human world can be guided by the Soul-Amassing Lamp. I guess the Sect Master was able to save these three people because their cultivation is higher. Otherwise, he might not have been able to save any of them.”
