Chapter 340: Soul Absorption Technique

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mr. Gui’s gaze was cold and unrelenting; it was clear he wasn’t joking.

He truly had no intention of caring about her fate!

Consort Shu was both shocked and furious.

That cursed old man, how dare he!

Gu Qingluan also felt somewhat surprised but quickly understood.

This old man didn’t consider Consort Shu his mistress at all. In this situation, his own life was obviously more important.

Seeing that Consort Shu was useless, Gu Qingluan tossed her aside.

Consort Shu crashed into a pillar and fainted.

Mr. Gui’s pupils constricted. While he pretended to remain calm, his eyes were greedily fixed on Gu Qingluan. “Consort Shu’s words do make sense. If you want to save the two children, then use yourself as the exchange.”

“Use me as an exchange?” Her crimson lips curled into a sinister smile.

Mr. Gui saw her expression and suddenly had an ominous premonition but couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

He knew that this woman cared deeply for her son, and her son’s remaining soul was in his hands. She wouldn’t dare to kill him.

“Why not 1 use you as an exchange?”

Gu Qingluan placed her hand on his forehead.

In an instant, Mr. Ghost felt a tearing, excruciating pain in his mind.

His pupils shrank, and he cried out in horror, “Soul…absorption!”

Indeed, Gu Qingluan had used the Soul Absorption technique.

Soul Absorption was an extremely cruel spell that forcibly extracted the memories of others. Those subjected to it would suffer damage to their soul at best, and at worst, death.

Because this method was so cruel, it was classified as a forbidden technique. Moreover, it was difficult to master, and very few people in the world knew how to use it.

In her previous life, Gu Qingluan had read countless books and was a fanatic when it came to cultivation. That’s why she had learned the Soul Absorption technique.

Never did she expect that, after crossing over to the Cloud Plains Continent, she would use this technique.

Gu Qingluan’s face suddenly changed. “How could this happen?”

She had originally thought she would be able to discern where the old man had hidden Xiaonan and Yuanxi’s souls. However, it turned out that this guy was just a clone, and his memories were limited!

She hadn’t found any memories about the hidden location of Xiaonan and Yuanxi’s souls.

“Flahaha! You can’t find it!” Mr. Gui laughed maliciously.

Just as he had laughed a couple of times, he abruptly stopped, his eyes bulged, and he dropped dead on the spot.

Gu Qingluan’s face turned ashen, and she kicked him away.

Damn it!

Soul Absorption was already overbearing, and this guy was just a soul clone, unable to withstand it. He didn’t even wait for Gu Qingluan to ask questions before he died.

Through the Soul Absorption just now, Gu Qingluan also discovered something.

To be precise, the soul concealed within this body belongs to the mysticist who, on that day, attempted to use the Soul Seizing Banner to sacrifice Little Yuanxi’s soul. His name is Yan Laogui.

At that time, Gu Qingluan’s attention had been on Qitian Yu, and she hadn’t expected this guy to use the Cicada Shedding technique, where the soul leaves the body, to possess the body of a servant in the Fifth Prince’s mansion.

In the relatively small Cloud Plains Continent, a cultivator of the Heavenly Realm, surprisingly possesses such abilities, demonstrating a remarkable mastery in manipulating souls to this extent.

No wonder he was able to abduct Xiaonan and Yuanxi from the palace without a sound.

The thought of Xiaonan and Yuanxi’s souls being in his hands filled Gu Qingluan with worry.

She had to find out his whereabouts in order to locate Xiaonan and Yuanxi’s souls.

Yan Laogui had suffered severe injuries when he was in the Fifth Prince’s mansion back then, and now his clone had been destroyed by her. He must be seriously injured and unable to escape. He was more likely to be hiding in some concealed place.

In the past, he had been hired by Qitian Yu, and after Qitian Yu’s death, he joined hands with Consort Shu.

Now, only Consort Shu knew where he was.

Just at that moment, a group of people rushed in.

“Yue’er!”

“Little sister!”
