Chapter 695: Breaking the Promise
Miao Tong was terrified and explained hurriedly.
"Senior, don't listen to Hao Man's slander. I have no such idea. If you don't trust me, I can swear a soul oath. If I break the oath, my soul will fly away."
Song Wen shook his head. Miao Tong knew too many of his secrets. He didn't dare to put his life on an oath, even if it was a soul oath.
"Let go of your sea of consciousness and let me plant the 'Soul Locking Curse'."
Miao Tong looked at Song Wen in astonishment. Being planted with the 'Soul Locking Curse' means that life and death are controlled by others' thoughts. You have to obey others' orders in this life, just like a puppet.
"What? Don't want to?"
Song Wen's cold voice sounded, "Okay, then kill you directly. Only the dead can keep secrets better."
After the words fell, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.
A bloody tentacle suddenly pierced Miao Tong's head.
If stabbed by the tentacles, Miao Tong's head would be shattered and he would die.
"Wait a minute, senior. I am willing to let you plant the 'Soul Locking Curse'." Miao Tong said hurriedly.
"Are you really willing? Don't do anything against your will."
Song Wen looked at Miao Tong with a smile, and several blood-colored tentacles behind him waved with fangs and claws.
Miao Tong nodded heavily and opened his sea of consciousness.
"Senior. I am willing. Please cast the Soul Locking Curse."
The Soul Locking Curse itself is not difficult.
The only difficulty of this technique is that the other party must cooperate completely. Otherwise, even if the cultivation is much higher than the other party, the spell may fail.
After an incense stick, Song Wen finished casting the spell and successfully planted the Soul Locking Curse in Miao Tong's sea of consciousness.
In Miao Tong's sea of consciousness, a black thorn was tightly wrapped around Miao Tong's soul.
However, only a Soul Locking Curse could not make Song Wen feel at ease to let Miao Tong leave.
At Song Wen's request, Miao Tong swore a soul oath. He vowed not to tell anyone what happened today.
After doing all this, Song Wen said.
"You have one hour to return to the Corpse Demon Sect to get the Dead Man's Vine. If you fail to return on time, I will activate the Soul Locking Curse and make your soul fly away."
This valley is more than ten thousand miles away from the Corpse Demon Sect. With Miao Tong's cultivation, it takes about seven quarters of an hour to go back and forth.
Add the time he needs to go to the White Bone Cave to pick the Dead Man's Vine.
This means that time is extremely tight.
He must keep going all the way to get back to the valley within an hour.
This leaves Miao Tong with almost no time to see Gou Jun. After all, Gou Jun is not something you can see if you want to.
"Junior will definitely return on time."
After Miao Tong finished speaking, he clasped his hands, then took off into the air and flew towards the Corpse Demon Sect.
Until Miao Tong disappeared into the sky.
The bloody tentacles on Song Wen's body suddenly twisted and rolled towards Zhang Xiaofan, Hao Man, and Ba Feng.
"Senior, you said that if Miao Tong could bring back the dead vine, you would let me and Ba Feng go..." Hao Man shouted in horror.
Before she finished her words, her body was pierced by the tentacles.
A moment later, the three of them were dead and their souls were devoured.
After doing this, Song Wen took off and followed Miao Tong all the way to the Corpse Demon Sect.
It was not until Miao Tong passed through the Corpse Demon Sect's mountain gate and entered the Corpse Demon Mountain that Song Wen quietly came to the market at the foot of the mountain.
It took less than a quarter of an hour.
Miao Tong flew out of the mountain gate and hurried to the valley.
Song Wen waited for a quarter of an hour in the same place. Seeing that no one was following Miao Tong, he took off and went to the valley.
......
After Miao Tong arrived at the valley, he found that Song Wen had disappeared, and Hao Man and the other two were also missing.
He could only stay where he was and wait.
After half a quarter of an hour, Miao Tong's expression became more and more anxious.
There was not much time left before the deadline of one hour.
"Senior Jiyin, I have returned with the dead man's vine. Please show up and see me." Miao Tong shouted loudly.
However, no one responded to him.
Miao Tong shouted twice more, but still no one responded.
He could only wait where he was, hoping that Song Wen would show up in time.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Miao Tong was in uneasiness and panic, and his mind was uneasy.
Until the deadline of one hour passed, Song Wen still did not show up.
However, the soul-locking curse on Miao Tong's soul was not triggered, and Miao Tong felt a little relieved.
After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, Song Wen finally showed up.
"Where is the dead man's vine?" Song Wen asked coldly.
Miao Tong hurriedly took out a half-foot-high jade box.
The jade box opened, revealing a vine.
The vine was rolled up. If it was fully stretched out, the vine would be at least six or seven feet long.
The vine was intact, with lush branches and leaves and dense roots.
Song Wen raised his hand and took the jade box in his hand.
"You did a good job." Song Wen said with satisfaction.
Miao Tong said, "Thank you for the compliment, senior. May I ask, senior, can you remove the soul-locking curse in my sea of consciousness?"
"Don't worry, I will remove it for you right away." Song Wen smiled slightly, and his smile was a little gloomy.
Looking at the smile on Song Wen's face, Miao Tong panicked inexplicably and had an ominous premonition.
Before he could think more, suddenly, a sharp pain came from his sea of consciousness.
The black thorns wrapped around his soul suddenly began to tighten, as if to tear his soul apart alive.
The severe pain surged like a tide, and Miao Tong's face turned pale in an instant, and he fell to the ground, and his body began to tremble violently.
Miao Tong endured the severe pain, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at Song Wen pleadingly.
However, he only saw indifference on Song Wen's face.
"I clearly brought back the dead vine, why don't you let me go?"
"Please... don't kill me..."
Miao Tong's breath became weaker and weaker. When he felt that his soul was about to fly away, a strong suction suddenly came. In a daze, he felt that he was pulled into a black hole, and then he completely lost consciousness.
Song Wen destroyed the corpse and went to the Lost World Ridge without stopping.
......
The next day.
Song Wen appeared in the Shura Sect's headquarters - Tiancang Mountain.
Under Yu Wen's governance, the Shura Sect was on the right track, and everything in the sect was in order.
The Dan Room, the Refining Hall, the Talisman Pavilion, the Spirit Field, the Corpse Raising Ground, the Yinhun Cave... and other important places closely related to cultivation were all established.
The disciples in the sect are guaranteed to practice, so they will work harder for the sect.
Song Wen came to the main hall of the sect on the hillside. Yu Wen and Ding Yan were in the hall, discussing something.
Seeing Song Wen coming, the two hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Meet the leader."
Song Wen waved his hand, indicating that the two did not need to be polite.
"Has the sect encountered any major events recently?" Song Wen asked.
Yu Wen said, "Report to the leader, Hunyuan Temple sent someone to ask us to secretly control the Jieshan Market. This matter is of great importance, and I dare not make a decision rashly, so I asked Elder Ding to discuss it."
