Chapter 198 The Mysterious Disappearance of the Soul

Seeing that many independent cultivators were chasing after Su Yi, Jing Lu was filled with resentment and helplessness. He turned his head and stared at Su Jingtong, gritting his teeth.

"Good plan!"

"But it can only solve the crisis temporarily. The Su family cannot keep the Red Blood Spirit Crystal Mine."

Su Jingtong glanced at Jing Lu, did not refute, and turned to the remaining four Su family cultivators.

"Let's go!"

After he finished speaking, he flew up on his sword and fled in the direction of the independent cultivators.

The four of them also flew on their swords to follow him.

Jing Lu knew that he was no match for the five people, and did not dare to stop them. He could only watch Su Jingtong and the other five escape.

Once Su Jingtong and the other five left, the entire Red Blood Spirit Crystal Mine became an undefended place.

Jing Lu vented his anger on the miners in the mine.

Five miles south of the courtyard, there was a valley with tens of thousands of low huts in the valley.

The shacks were crowded together, in a mess, with sewage flowing everywhere, garbage everywhere, and the stench was overwhelming, like a giant garbage dump.

At this time, it was late at night, and the miners were originally sleeping in the shacks.

But the battle between the two sides just now had already awakened them.

They walked out of the shacks and saw the earthquake caused by the battle between the two sides. Some miners fled in panic; some were numb and had dull eyes, like a body without a soul, neither running away nor hiding, like a walking corpse. For them, death might be a relief.

These miners were all mortals enslaved by the Su family. Facing the attack of Jinglu, they had no power to resist.

The ghost general rushed into the shack where the miners lived and began to kill wantonly.

The ghost energy was like a ferocious and roaring dragon, sweeping in all directions. Wherever it passed, the miners fell down in pieces like wheat straw cut by a sickle.

When a mortal dies, his soul will automatically leave the body.

The ghost general shot arrows left and right, taking souls into his hands and stuffing them into his mouth continuously, as if he was eating delicious food and feasting on them.

There were hundreds of thousands of miners in the entire mining area. It was easy for the ghost general to kill people, but the number of souls that were really eaten by him was not many, only a few thousand.

Under normal circumstances, after a person dies, the soul will automatically dissipate in the world and go to an unknown place.

But as a ghost cultivator, Jing Lu would never let go of the souls he had obtained.

He stood in mid-air, controlling a pitch-black ghost flag. The ghost flag followed the ghost general, swept over the miner's body, and forcibly detained the soul.

"What's going on?"

Jing Lu's expression suddenly became suspicious.

That black ghost flag was a soul-binding flag. Although it was only a top-grade magic weapon, it should be easy to capture the souls of these mortals.

But for some reason, the souls of most of the corpses disappeared inexplicably and their whereabouts were unknown.

......

At this time, the casual cultivators who were chasing Su Yi had succeeded.

Su Yi was chased by more than a dozen cultivators of the same realm and had no power to fight back.

The casual cultivators got the storage ring on Su Yi's hand and found that there were only 10,000 red blood crystals in it, and there was no red blood crystal marrow.

They couldn't help but feel a little angry. Su Yi's body was beaten into a pile of minced meat, and his soul was also beaten to pieces by the scholar's soul-devouring cone.

Although the unexpected wealth was not obtained, the planned 10,000 red blood crystals were successfully obtained.

These casual cultivators took the storage ring and began to return to the mining area.

All this was clearly explored by Song Wen who was hiding in the cave.

The Su family's red blood crystal mine was breached, with heavy losses, and three foundation-building cultivators died. This was good news for Song Wen.

As long as it can weaken the strength of the Su family, Song Wen is happy to see it happen.

But Song Wen did not participate in the whole process, and he felt as if he had made a wasted trip.

......

Twenty miles away from the Red Blood Spirit Crystal Mine.

At the foot of a high mountain.

Su Jingtong and the other five members of the Su family were hiding here.

"Third Elder, are we going to let those evil demons rob the crystal mine and destroy our Su family's industry? That is the most important industry of our Su family!"

"Don't we ask the family for help and kill all these evil cultivators?"

Su Jingtong shook his head.

"The ancestor is not in a position to take action now. The family can only send foundation cultivators. By the time they arrive, those cultivators will have already fled."

"Are we going to let those evil demons go?" The Su family cultivator asked unwillingly.

A cruel smile appeared on Su Jingtong's lips.

"How can it be that easy! If you provoke our Su family, you will naturally pay a heavy price."

"When I left, I unlocked the seal of the underground ghost king in the mining area."

The other four people heard this and their faces changed drastically.

"Third elder, that was thirty years ago when the ancestor used all his strength to seal the ghost king with great difficulty."

"If the ghost king is born, the entire mining area will be destroyed."

"Those casual cultivators will leave immediately after looting. We just need to capture more miners and the mining area can be rebuilt again."

"The mining area is destroyed, and the difficulty of reconstruction has increased several times."

Su Jingtong looked calm.

"Do you know why the ancestor spent all his efforts to seal the ghost king instead of killing him?"

"Isn't it like the rumors outside that the ancestor's strength is not enough to kill the ghost king, so he sealed it?" A member of the Su family asked in confusion.

Su Jingtong sneered.

"Of course not. Since we can capture the Ghost King alive and seal him, why can't we kill him? A mere Ghost King is not immortal."

"The ancestor fought with the Ghost King, and the Ghost King was defeated, causing the Ghost King's soul to be severely damaged, and even the soul pill was broken. The Ghost King's cultivation was only one hundred percent of what it had."

"The ancestor captured it and sealed it deep underground in the Red Blood Spirit Crystal Mine, and set up a ghost formation. The purpose is to let it absorb the resentment emitted by the miners all the time, and devour the dead miners' Soul, help the ghost king repair his soul body and recast the soul pill. "

"Once the ghost king's strength is restored and he is subdued, our Su family will have an additional third-level combat power."

"But for some reason, maybe the ghost king was injured in the past, or maybe the ancestor was not proficient in the way of controlling ghosts. After thirty years, this ghost king has only recovered his soul body. The broken soul pill has never been repaired. It can only be regarded as a pseudo-third-level ghost king."

The so-called soul pill is similar to the golden pill of human cultivators, the demon pill of the demon race, and the corpse pill of zombies. It is something that can only be condensed by the third-level ghost king.

The four Su family cultivators were shocked when they heard this. This was completely different from what they had heard before.

"Even a pseudo-third-level ghost king is enough to turn the mining area upside down." One person said worriedly.

Su Jingtong said confidently.

"Don't worry, the ancestor has planned everything. How could he be unprepared? As early as thirty years ago, the ancestor had thought of a countermeasure."

As he spoke, a small black flag appeared in Su Jingtong's hand.

"This flag is the core of the sealing formation, and it is also a ghost-controlling flag. As long as the ghost king is introduced into the formation, and then you cooperate with me to drive the formation, you can put it into the ghost-controlling flag."

"This ghost has been sealed underground for many years, and has absorbed resentment for many years. When the seal is just broken, it must be full of resentment. It is just right to use these robbery repairs to sacrifice the flag to eliminate its resentment."

"When the resentment of the ghost king dissipates, we can reap the benefits."
