Chapter 3482 Severe Soul Injury?

“The Blood Clan has always been wary of the current Nine-tailed Clan. Now that Da Ying has taken the initiative to seek refuge with us, we naturally agree.” Xiao’er’s expression was solemn.

“If that’s the case, then it’s really troublesome.” Jian Wushuang also nodded slightly. “Moreover, your goal is to kill Da Ying, and my goal is to kill the clan leader of the Blood Clan. If we deal with these two people one by one, as long as Marquis Duan Yu’s formation is complete, it’s absolutely possible to kill them. However, now that the two of them have joined hands, it’s too difficult to deal with them both at the same time.”

Jian Wushuang was well aware that if Da Ying and the Blood Clan had not joined hands, they could have killed them one by one with Marquis Duan Yu’s five killing formation. However, if the two of them had gathered together…it would not be enough for them to kill the two of them at the same time.

After all, Demon Master Chenhuo was powerful, but he was not confident that he could kill Da Ying alone, not to mention that there was a Blood Clan Grandmaster who was no weaker than Da Ying.

“We have no choice but to wait. After all, the Blood Clan and the Nine-tailed Clan have been fighting for so many years. Previously, Da Ying was the Blood Clan Grandmaster. Under such circumstances, Da Ying and the Blood Clan might not be able to forget about the past. It may not be long before their alliance is broken. At that time, we can still proceed according to the plan.”

“In addition, even if they really forget about the past, Da Ying and the Blood Clan Grandmaster can not stay together forever. We can wait. As long as they separate, we can attack immediately and still have a chance to kill them,” Jian Wushuang said.

“Yes, that’s what I thought. I’ve instructed the chess pieces in the Blood Clan to pay close attention to the movements of Da Ying and the Blood Clan leader. As soon as they have a chance to separate, we will attack immediately,” Xiao’er said.

Jian Wushuang nodded slightly, but his heart was still heavy.

After all, if Da Ying really joined hands with the Blood Clan leader, it would be much more difficult and unpredictable to kill them than before.

They could only wait for an opportunity.

Time passed, and another half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this half a month, the five Principles Masters on Marquis Duan Yu’s side had already grasped the dark jade five kill array. Once it was used, even the Demon Master Chenhuo wouldn’t be able to escape for a while, and to trap Da Ying, who was much weaker than the Demon Master Chenhuo, or the Blood Clan leader, there was naturally no problem.

At the same time, Xiao’er had also received the news from the Blood Clan.

“The news has been confirmed. Da Ying has indeed joined hands with the Blood Clan. In order to show her sincerity, she gave the Soul Devouring Pearl, the most precious treasure of the Nine-tailed Clan, to the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan has accepted her completely,” Xiao’er said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang, Axe One Master, Marquis Duan Yu, and the others all had ugly expressions on their faces.

“Soul Devouring Pearl…this is a treasure that almost caused Chenhuo to lose his life. How could Da Ying give it up?” Jian Wushuang frowned.

“It’s just a treasure, not to mention that the Nine-tailed Clan left it behind. Now that Da Ying is no longer the clan leader of the Nine-tailed Clan, of course she doesn’t care about this precious treasure. But the problem is that she has gained the trust of the Blood Clan with this treasure. Next, she will join hands with the Blood Clan completely,” Xiao’er said coldly.

“In addition, the people I left behind also said that Da Ying immediately went into seclusion after gaining the trust of the Blood Clan. They also told the Blood Clan that she would be in seclusion for a long time, as if to heal her injuries.”

“Heal?” Jian Wushuang’s expression changed, and he immediately looked at Demon Master Chenhuo. “Chenhuo, did you hurt Da Ying badly?”

“I think so,” Demon Master Chenhuo said calmly. “After I made a breakthrough, Da Ying suffered a lot of damage to her divine body. However, because of her immortal body, she only lost part of her divine power. Perhaps it will take some time for her to recover after reaching her level, but it’s not necessary for her to go into seclusion to recover her divine power.”

“In that case, why is she in seclusion?” Jian Wushuang was puzzled.

“I understand.” Xiao’er suddenly stood up, she said, “If I’m not wrong, Da Ying is indeed injured. However, it’s not the damage to her divine body or the consumption of divine power, but the damage to her soul. The damage is so great that she must immediately enter seclusion to recover.”

“Soul damage?” Jian Wushuang’s expression changed. “You mean, when she channeled the soul power of the Soul Devouring Pearl, she also suffered the damage from the soul power?”

“That must be the case.” Xiao’er nodded, he said seriously, “I didn’t know much about the Soul Devouring Pearl. I’ve only heard a little about its use, but it’s one of the biggest killer moves of the Nine-tailed Clan. The previous clan leaders of the Nine-tailed Clan have told me clearly that unless we are on the brink of death, we must not use the Soul Devouring Pearl!”

“However, if it’s only because the Soul Devouring Pearl consumes a large amount of soul power, then because the soul power that the Soul Devouring Pearl has consumed over a long period of time is ridiculously large, there’s no need for such restrictions. Therefore, there’s only one possibility, and that is that while the soul power in the Soul Devouring Pearl is activated, the guide will also suffer the backlash from the soul power!”

“The more soul power she channeled, the greater the backlash. It’s understandable why Da Ying didn’t channel all the Soul Power in the Soul Devouring Pearl during the battle. I’m afraid it’s not because she didn’t want to channel it, but because she knew that the more she channeled, the greater the damage to her soul. That’s why she didn’t dare to be so reckless!”

“Now that she has been defeated and retreated to the Blood Clan, she naturally has to think of a way to recover her soul. Furthermore, after using the Soul Devouring Pearl once, she clearly knew how terrifying the backlash power contained in the Soul Devouring Pearl was. She didn’t dare to use it a second time, so she handed the Soul Devouring Pearl to the Blood Clan without any hesitation!”

“All of this can be explained!”

Hearing Xiao’er’s words, the experts present immediately understood.

“Looks like that’s the case.” Star Saint Master also stood up, he said, “Although I don’t know about the Soul Devouring Pearl, I more or less know about the soul. In order to guide such a huge wave of soul energy that doesn’t belong to me to cause an impact on my opponent, I naturally have to bear a huge risk!”

“If that’s the case, then Da Ying should be in a weakened state. This is the best time for us to kill her.” Axe One Master also said.
