Chapter 192: Collecting Heroic Souls
The commander wept bitterly. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't brought them in, I would have died alone. I was wrong. So wrong. I regret it so much."
The commander calmed down and said, "I wanted to negotiate with the demons and monsters to save my men." But those who wanted to kill us threw several fireballs from behind the demons and monsters, injuring many of them. They were furious and refused to listen to my explanations. They rushed over to fight us.
This time, the immortals' plan to eliminate us has succeeded. They've taken advantage of the chaos to sow confusion among the demon and monster tribes, killing them. This has made them hate us even more. Their plot has succeeded, and they've exploited the demon and monster tribes.
In order to protect our soldiers, we also fought desperately against the demons and monsters.
The battle raged for half a month, leaving fewer than two thousand men on either side. The valley flowed like a river of blood. Many ghosts lingered in the air, howling.
By now, the demons and monsters had also come to their senses. They knew they were being used.
It was too late to realize it now. Both exits were blocked. There was no way out.
We stopped fighting and stopped. I looked back at my soldiers, all of whom were covered in wounds.
I'm sorry. We can't leave today. There are traitors in our fairyland, and they want to kill us here.
The leaders of the demon and monster tribes also came forward. They asked me what to do, whether we should go out together and seek revenge. As soon as they finished speaking, rows of archers appeared in the air.
They were drawing their bows, and a masked figure was standing in front of them. "We have received orders from the Emperor of Heaven to kill all traitors, demons, and monsters on the spot. Leave no one behind."
Arrows rained down upon them, the demons, and the monsters. They rose up in resistance, but two fists were no match for four hands. Soon only three commanders remained, struggling to hold themselves together.
The masked man took the bow and arrow and shot more than ten arrows. Unfortunately, the three commanders were killed by the masked man.
I don't know what magic the masked man used, but Yongqing Mountain has fallen to Shunqing Kingdom. I want my men to reincarnate, but no matter what, they can't leave this mountain. Yongqing Mountain is under a spell. The spirits of the demons and monsters have drifted away uncontrollably. Only my soldiers remain. I hate it. I wait for someone destined to help us, to help my soldiers reincarnate. This wait has lasted for thousands of years. If you don't arrive, their souls will be scattered.
The commander wept bitterly as he knelt on the ground. "Over the years, several neighboring nations have favored duels here. I transformed into the images you see outside and made them fight where they are, preserving the remains of our soldiers."
Qiqi burst into tears upon hearing this, she didn't know why. She just couldn't stop crying. Her unintentional act of kindness had resolved the commander's knot. She wished she could send the souls of these heroes to the underworld for reincarnation.
Qiqi thought of the ghost general of the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tower. Could he help take all these heroic spirits to the underworld and help them reincarnate?
"Commander, don't be sad. I know you want your soldiers to reincarnate. I will find a way. Since I have collected their heroic souls into the soul gourd, I can't just ignore this matter. Can you give me some time to do this?" Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, it's great that you can help them reincarnate. We've finally made it. I can die without regrets."
"Commander, I can put you into the Soul Gourd. You can reincarnate together."
"Qiqi, thank you for your kindness. My soul is unstable. To protect their souls, I used a part of it. I am speaking to you now because my soul is strong. Please listen to me, I don't have much time left.
I'll be relieved if you send them to the underworld. This place can't be left to others. Many of the weapons here have become weapon spirits. This is the weapon tomb.
Whoever obtains it will be a great help to them in the future. I want to give it to you. I know you have space, so I will put all of Yongqing Mountain into your space. This weapon tomb will stay in your space smoothly.
Yongqing Mountain holds secrets. You'll uncover them yourself. I'll escort anyone who comes here and won't harm their lives. Those who obtain weapons are lucky.
Qiqi, I can see your past, but not your future. You've endured many hardships in these lives. In this life, after all the hardship, you'll finally find happiness. Seize every opportunity. Make yourself stronger. Don't let anyone bully you. I'm leaving this letter for you. If you ever run into trouble in the immortal realm again, take this letter and ask the person inside for help. She will help you. Don't read the letter now. Read it when you get to the immortal realm." Qiqi quickly took it and put it in her space.
"Commander, where are you going? I hope you can reincarnate. If you don't, I will find a body for you and wait until your soul becomes strong. Then go back to take revenge. I, Qiqi, don't want any of your heroic souls to disappear." Qiqi said with tears in her eyes.
Qiqi respects soldiers very much, especially heroes who have served their country and the people. She hopes that their souls can return to their hometowns and have the opportunity to be reincarnated.
"Qiqi, thank you. Are you ready? Yongqing Mountain will be in turmoil soon, which may attract the attention of the immortal world. I will block it. Don't worry, I have eliminated all the disadvantages. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I will not fail."
The commander displayed his abilities. A rumbling sound was heard. Many martial artists in Yongqing Mountain, including Zhou Jingze, Xiao Rui, Wang Yunlong, and Wei Wuliang, were sent out, far away from Yongqing Mountain.
Yongqing Mountain emerged from the ground in arches, and was half a meter above the ground.
"Qiqi, retreat!" the commander shouted. Qiqi focused his mind. With a bang, Yong Qingshan landed in the valley behind the sycamore tree. It was as if that place was reserved for Yong Qingshan.
Qiqi didn't have time to check before she saw the commander's heroic spirit turned transparent.
"Commander, how are you?" Qiqi quickly took out the soul pill she had refined earlier, crushed it, and entered the commander's soul. The soul stabilized.
"Qiqi, you'd better leave quickly. I can't stay in this environment for long. The martial artists will come to check soon. Don't get entangled with them, lest they get entangled with you. Go quickly. My soul will dissipate here!" said the commander.
Qiqi took out a soul bottle and put the commander in it when he was off guard.
As the commander entered the soul bottle, he sighed. "Never mind, this is not my fate." Qiqi quickly placed a few soul-nourishing pills in the soul bottle and stored it in the space.
