Chapter 437: The Free and Honored One
"My name is Lu Da. I am the Wu Yue Sect's Si Zhao in the Black Wind Desert. The Ming Yue Sect destroyed the Black River God that we supported in Xiansha City before. The higher-ups sent me to destroy the Ming Yue Sect." The bald priest said dejectedly.
"The Black River God is supported by your Wu Yue Sect?" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows.
Lu Da nodded.
"Why do you support the Black River God?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I really don't know. I'm just a small Si Zhao. The higher-ups only tell us to do things and never tell us the reasons. I think they are afraid of leaking secrets." Lu Da glanced at Yuan Ming and said carefully.
Yuan Ming was not surprised by this answer. If the Wu Yue Sect had not kept secrets, it would have been noticed by the major sects long ago.
"What's the matter with that statue?" He pointed to the goddess statue on the side.
"This thing was distributed by the higher-ups. It can store willpower. Every once in a while, the higher-ups will send people to take it away and replace it with a new one." Lu Da seemed to accept his fate and said.
Yuan Ming waved his hand and emitted a green light, which rolled the statue over. After a careful inspection, a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
The statue did store a lot of willpower, but it was carved from a black wood, not Nine Nether Iron.
"The Wu Yue Sect seems to be collecting willpower. The previous Black River God was like this, and the Nether Iron Gourd obtained from the Six Desires Venerable was also like this. This statue is also like this. What is the purpose of the Wu Yue Sect's comeback this time?" Yuan Ming pondered secretly.
He waved his hand to take the storage bag from Lu Da's waist. Lu Da's face twitched and he didn't say anything.
Yuan Ming's consciousness sank into it. There were a lot of things stored in the storage bag, 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones, a lot of spirit materials, elixirs, two jade slips, and some other miscellaneous things.
He picked it up casually and took out an object from the storage bag. It was a blue glove, as thin as a cicada's wing, with a flowing water-like fluorescence on the surface, and it emitted soul power fluctuations.
"What is this?" Yuan Ming did not touch the glove rashly and looked at Lu Da.
"This is a soul cultivation magic weapon given to me by the higher-ups, called the Kongkong Gloves. Only soul cultivators above the level of Love Witch can use it, and it can modify other people's memories." Lu Da said honestly.
Yuan Ming's eyes moved. Modifying memories is the ability of Sleep Witches. This glove is a good thing.
"Have you used this Kongkong Glove to modify Xu Che's memory?" He remembered something and looked at Xu Che who was unconscious next to him.
"Yes, but I was forced to do so. The higher-ups told me to do so, and I had no choice but to obey." Lu Da said.
Yuan Ming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xu Che looked at him with hatred just now. It seemed that Lu Da had probably turned himself into Xu Che's enemy.
"Can the modified memory be restored with this Kongkong Gloves?" he asked.
"As long as it is no more than one year, it's fine." Lu Da said hurriedly.
Yuan Ming felt relieved. Xu Che was considered an important subordinate of his, and it would be good if he could recover.
He put away the Kongkong Gloves and continued to check Lu Da's other things. He quickly read through them all, and finally picked up the two jade slips and a white jade book.
A jade slip recorded a soul cultivation method: Dreaming Technique.
This method is very special. When practicing it, people will fall into a deep sleep. Even ordinary mortals will automatically start to recuperate once they fall asleep. Dreaming Technique can make people fall into a deep sleep and strengthen the power of the soul in their dreams.
The deeper the Dreaming Technique is, the deeper the sleep is, and the better the effect of training the soul is, which is quite mysterious.
"Yes, I got another soul cultivation method." Yuan Ming was delighted and turned to check another jade slip, his expression changed slightly.
This jade slip recorded the power distribution of Wu Yue Cult in the Black Wind Desert, the location of each stronghold, the strength, etc.
Wu Yue Cult not only supported the Black River God, but also supported the Black Bear God, the Crow Snake God and other gods, which were widely distributed in various underground cities in the Black Wind Desert to recruit mortal believers and collect wishes.
Yuan Ming's eyes flashed with cold light. Now the Wuyue Sect and his Mingyue Sect were at loggerheads. With this jade slip, he could do the opposite and try to uproot the Wuyue Sect.
He put away the two jade slips, took the white jade book and opened it, frowning immediately.
Seeing this, Lu Da hurriedly lowered his head.
The white jade book was a magical instrument similar to the photo-retaining bead. On each page, there were pictures of men and women having sex. The men were all Lu Da, but the women were different people, including pure girls and mature women, up to a hundred people.
Yuan Ming closed the jade book and looked at Lu Da with a cold light in his eyes.
In those pictures of sex, the women all looked dazed and were in a state of confinement. It was obvious that Lu Da had used force.
This man had harmed so many women, and he even used the photo-retaining magical instrument to record them one by one. His purpose was obvious. He must have taken them out to appreciate them from time to time. It was really obscene.
"Fellow Daoist, spare me. I don't want this to happen. My soul has been tampered with. My desires are high every month. If I don't have sex with a woman, I will fall into a state of frenzy and loss of control. Only the dual cultivation of soul and spirit can calm my desires." Lu Da shouted hurriedly.
"Has my soul been tampered with?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming's consciousness once again probed the soul of this person.
Just like the previous soul search, his consciousness was quickly blocked.
Yuan Ming's face condensed, and he pointed forward. A soul crow flew out immediately, plunged into Lu Da's eyebrows, and disappeared.
Lu Da was caught off guard, his body suddenly stiffened, and a strong look of fear appeared in his eyes.
The soul crow used the soul collision magic to hit Lu Da's pink soul hard.
At this moment, a surge of pink light suddenly emerged from Lu Da's soul, turning into a chaotic pink halo and exploding.
Yuan Ming's soul crow was the first to be hit by the pink halo and immediately disintegrated.
Yuan Ming hurriedly turned the power of his consciousness to stabilize his own sea of consciousness and resisted the impact of that force.
At the same time, a sudden change occurred!
I saw a pink halo appear in Lu Da's mind again, and an illusory figure appeared, it seemed to be a woman, looking at Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming was startled and hurriedly operated the skills to protect his body.
A strong wave suddenly surged on the tall black goddess statue, and bright crystal light burst out from her eyes, looking like a stone statue opening its eyes.
The wish power inside flowed out like a torrent, turning into two beams of light and sinking into the body of the illusory woman.
The illusory woman quickly solidified, but she was a woman in a pink skirt, holding a branch-like object in her hand, with five forks, emitting dazzling pink light.
"Zizai Zun! Don't..." Lu Da showed a look of extreme fear and screamed in horror.
The next moment, the illusory woman sank into his head, and Lu Da's frightened expression returned to calm, his eyes turned pink, and a powerful soul power fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body, and he reached the realm of sleeping witch.
The pink branch also appeared in his hand, almost condensed into a solid, emitting a strong wish power fluctuation, as if the wish power in the goddess statue had gathered here.
"Possession?" Yuan Ming dodged and retreated with a solemn expression.
His thoughts turned rapidly, and he slapped his waist fiercely.
A gray shadow shot out from the spirit beast bag, it was the three-eyed black dove, sank into the nearby white illusion space, and disappeared.
"Who are you? How dare you charge into the sea of consciousness of my followers?" "Lu Da" turned his eyes and fell on Yuan Ming, asking in a loud voice.
Although he still looked the same at this moment, his voice had become a woman's tone, and it was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a spring, flowing directly into people's hearts.
As the voice sounded, it seemed as if there was a sound wave vibration, and the surrounding illusion space was buzzing, and it was even on the verge of collapse.
Yuan Ming hurriedly pointed at the picture of the night parade of a hundred ghosts, and another white light shot out from it, and the illusion space immediately returned to stability.
Dozens of thick chains appeared out of thin air, tightly entangling Lu Da's body.
"Haha, it's a very clever illusion magic, it can already condense into an illusion space, but it's a pity that it doesn't work on me." "Lu Da" looked around, smiled slightly, and waved the pink branch in his hand.
A pink light burst out from it, containing a magnificent wish, which merged into the chains and the white space.
The chains and the white space quickly turned pink. Countless thoughts of fear, hatred, and despair were transmitted into Yuan Ming's sea of consciousness along the connection between the white space and Yuan Ming. They were the emotions contained in the will, and they were all negative emotions.
These emotions seemed to be amplified a lot, ten times stronger than the will transmitted by the followers of the Dark Moon Sect.
Yuan Ming was startled and hurriedly cut off the mental connection with the illusion space and jumped back.
However, the white space did not disappear, and was quickly dyed pink.
Yuan Ming's vision suddenly changed. The white space suddenly disappeared and appeared in an open field with green grass and white clouds.
"A new illusion? But this is my Dream Butterfly Illusion Space!" Yuan Ming was stunned at first, and then he noticed the familiar atmosphere rippling in the surrounding space. It was his Dream Butterfly Illusion.
However, the Dream Butterfly Space was controlled by others and used against him in turn.
"This pink light can actually directly control my illusion! Just now Lu Da called the Venerable Zizai? Could it be that another Venerable of the Wuyue Sect has come?" Yuan Ming was awed.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a gust of wind pressure coming from above his head, and he looked up quickly, only to see Lu Da appear in the air at some point, waving the pink branch again.
Boom!
A huge pink palm appeared out of thin air, pressing down from above, as if slapping a mosquito, slapping towards him.
This pink palm was not an illusion, but a real attack, which mixed the two auras of soul power and will power, and was quite similar to the palm of Mahakala, but without the existence of mana.
A mighty pressure like a torrent rushed down, and Yuan Ming was like a clump of water grass in the stormy waves, swaying and unstable, and could be destroyed at any time.
Yuan Ming took a step forward, and a shadow-like black light suddenly appeared in his lower body. He swept across a distance of dozens of feet at an extremely fast speed, and his body movement was like a ghost. It was Dugu Feng's ghost shadow escape method.
He found this escape technique in Dugu Feng's storage magic weapon. The ghost shadow escape technique belongs to the Yin escape technique. Yuan Ming is a soul cultivator, and his life magic weapon is also pure Yin attribute, so they complement each other when practicing.
In the past few months, he has been constantly comprehending and has gained a glimpse of the trick.
With a "bang"!
The pink giant palm hit the place where Yuan Ming stood before, blasting out a ten-foot-wide pit.
