C324 Tracing the cause of death(5)

Helian divine ability had never been used on that Soul Absorbing Pearl. He had once wanted to use it to restrain his son's soul, but in the end, it was useless. In the records that he knew, the Soul Eating Pearl could naturally absorb the souls of people who were on the verge of death, but in the end, no one had used it. How could he be sure that Gu Qingli's soul was truly within it? Although he was the teacher of the nation, he didn't have the proper conditions to open the altar, and it was impossible for him to see the world within the Soul Eating Pearl with his naked eyes.

It was said that one flower and one world, one leaf and one Bodhi. The Soul Eating Pearl was also a microscopic world, and it could not absorb only one soul.

Helian Yu didn't know about this. He didn't even know about the divine ability of Helian Lie himself.

The Soul Eating Pearl could take away the souls of all those who were about to die. Even the souls of the unstable people would be sucked in. However, after ingesting it, it would be extremely difficult to get it out.

When Gu Qingli's wandering soul left her body, it felt like it was a wisp of smoke, floating in the air without any support.

She looked at Xiao Yixiu who was hugging his body in despair. The emptiness in his eyes made her heart ache more than any deep pain. He was so helpless. He had never been like this before.

The tears in his eyes, mixed with the color of his blood, were faint and fearful.

Gu Qingli tried to wipe him with her hands, but she couldn't see her own body. She just made a futile gesture and allowed herself to pass through his face without being able to see her own body.

Tears fell without warning.

As a hitman in her previous life, she was also cold in her heart in this life. She had never thought that she could fall in love with a man who shouldn't belong to her in this foreign world.

She loved this man more than she thought.

He was reluctant to part with it, but there was nothing he could do.

Gu Qing Li kept trying to get closer to Xiao Yi Xiu. She wanted to comfort him and accompany him, but she found herself getting further and further away from him. Her transparent body was no longer under the control of her own consciousness.

It was neither a crystal nor a jade artifact, it was as transparent as a drop of water floating orderly in the air.

The Xiao Yixiu in front of Gu Qing Li gradually became blurry. She had entered an unknown world, vast and boundless like the universe. There were countless wandering souls like her within the universe, unable to be released no matter where he went.

Walking out of the capital's borders, the countryside was filled with desolate plains. Occasionally, there were some shrubs and forests, but there was no danger of wild beasts. Thus, the Northern Chu Missions camped there, forming a circle of tents.

The people of the Northern Chu had many habits of nomadic peoples. It was their custom to set up tents all over the sky. It just so happened that even after a few days of sunny weather, the snow on the outskirts would seep into the soil, making it very easy to set up camp.

Deep in the night, a shadow flashed from a tent at the edge of the road. The night watchman was about to inquire about the situation when he saw the princess approaching and immediately went silent.

Helian Lie's face was cold. He ordered them to go to the other side and stand guard. Naturally, they did not dare to disobey.

After the night watchman left, a few women came out of the tent. They took advantage of the night time to sneak out quietly and quickly disappeared into the ink-like darkness.

Just as he turned around, he was so shocked that he almost shouted out loud — Helian Yu, who was wearing a black cloak, stood under the dense night sky. A cold and questioning gaze stared at her with dense coldness.

She forced a smile. "Big Brother Crown Prince …"

"Who were those people just now?" Helian Yu spoke slowly without a trace of emotion in his words.

Helian Hua's entire body was ice-cold, but he had no choice but to force a smile and reply, "Mine... We met in Beijing. "

"You even made friends in the Dongyuan capital?" A sinister and cold smile emerged on Helian Yu's face.

He was more clear than anyone else about the character of his sister. Since young, she had always been arrogant, condescending, and arrogant. Since when had she ever made friends? Speaking of which, this kind of personality was a common ailment of the Helian Family. He himself also had this kind of side.

Helian Yu's arrogance had its own means. It was understandable that a person who had never met an enemy since he was young would be born to be a favored son of heaven and inherit the throne. However, Helian Xianzi was simply blindly conceited and did not measure up to his standards.

"I just... "Oh, she's a friend of Princess Mu, that's why she's familiar with her."

Helian Yu continued to stare at her, as if he was trying to judge her words. After a long while, he nodded and said lightly, "So, you have to secretly bring her friends out of the capital. And then sneakily send them away in the middle of the night."

Helian Lie didn't dare to refute. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Something has happened to King Mu recently. Consort Wang has asked me to take her friend out of the capital …"

Helian Yu did not pursue the matter any further. He only gave her a deep look. His gaze was cold, as if he had already seen through her heart. He turned around and returned to his tent.

The next day, Helian Yu ordered the imperial guards and palace maids accompanying him to change into the clothes of the two siblings. The two of them, together with the divine ability Helian, changed into the clothes of the citizens of Dongyuan.

When the people of the Dark Pavilion caught up to the caravan, they only caught two fake princes and princesses, as well as a few carriages that were loaded with goods. While feeling resentful, he still wanted to claim that he had found the wrong person and apologize repeatedly to avoid a dispute.

Helian Peng also felt that something was amiss. He travelled day and night on his mount. Every day, he would not rest even if he did not dare to complain.

Along the way they kept changing their clothes and changing their faces, and when they occasionally stopped to take a rest, Helian Ching felt a pain in his buttocks and didn't even want to bear the saddle anymore.

During the night, the three of them surrounded a bonfire, roasting the fish that had just split open a layer of ice from a nearby stream. Helian Xiufeng could not help but ask, "Big Brother Crown Prince, can we rest a bit more tonight before leaving?"

Helian Yu first ignored her with a cold face. After being repeatedly asked twice, he glared at her fiercely. "You still have the nerve to say that? How many people have been looking for us in the open and in the dark. Can't you feel it? "

Helian Peng pursed his lips but did not say anything. No matter which prefecture she was in, she would always see a few people with their portraits asking about them everywhere. She paid extra attention to the two men and one woman who were travelling together, and naturally knew that someone was tracking them down as they gradually dwindled in the last two days.

However, Helian Yu was extremely cautious. He allowed Helian Peng to put on a fake beard and put on men's clothing, and added height to his shoes. From the looks of it, Helian Yu was just like three martial artists who were worn out from their journey, and no one knew that there was a woman among them.

"Before we leave the Eastern Abyss, none of us will be safe. This is all thanks to the King Mo that you were thinking about."

"Don't think that I don't know what you have done. Those few women you let go of caused the capital city's plague to spread in all directions. The Dongyuan Royal Family was in a state of chaos, and a few princes and princesses were mutually plotting against each other … Have you ever wondered where they came from? Why should I help you? "

Helian Xianzi stared at him dumbfoundedly. He had never expected that he actually knew so much.
