Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 243 The Untamed 5

Actually, the Yunmeng Jiang Clan is not the closest to the Qishan Wen Clan, as there are two mountain ranges blocking them. The Qinghe Nie Clan is the closest to the Qishan Wen Clan. However, there is a water network connecting the Yunmeng Jiang Clan and the Qishan Wen Clan. What Jiang Xinxin said about the Qishan Wen Clan being able to go downstream is not a lie.

Moreover, as one of the five great families, the Yunmeng Jiang Clan began to build large-scale monitoring towers in the Yunmeng territory ever since the disciples of Jiang Xinxin's generation became famous. At the beginning, they also openly recruited many independent cultivators to assist the Jiang Clan in utilizing those monitoring towers. As a result, the Yunmeng Jiang Clan became famous, and its influence gradually expanded along the Yangtze River, almost approaching the Lan Clan.

Therefore, it would be a joke to say that the Lan family knew nothing about this.

Jiang Xinxin continued, "The world only sees that our Jiang Clan has been expanding its sphere of influence along the Yangtze River, but they don't see that the people in the mountains are more eager to slay demons and eliminate evil. However, the Qishan Wen Clan's actions became more and more arrogant, and many people began to flee to our Jiang Clan's territory. After the Qishan Wen Clan found out, they naturally refused to give up, and there were always minor frictions between the Jiang Clan and the Wen Clan."

"But things soon changed. The Qishan Wen Clan is fire-oriented. Whether it's swordplay or other magic, they always have some fire. But in the past two years, ordinary people, young and old, men and women, have disappeared in the area near the Qishan Wen Clan. When they were found, there was only some fire residue on their bodies. It was because they had suffered too much pain in their lives, so their three souls and seven spirits were completely scattered."

"Later, ordinary people seemed to no longer satisfy the people of the Wen Clan in Qishan, so the missing people became cultivators. Cultivators have spiritual consciousness to suppress their souls, so their souls don't disintegrate like ordinary people, but their spiritual consciousness disappears without a trace, and their souls occasionally disappear, leaving cracks on their bodies like burns from fire."

"Because the appearance of these marks often represents an ominous and cruel reality, some people privately call these marks Shura Seals."

The matter was of great importance, so Lan Qiren and the others certainly could not believe Jiang Xinxin's one-sided statement. However, Lan Zhan had said before that the cultivator from their family was killed in a place near Mount Qishan, and they were lucky to be able to get the body back, as they had encountered several pursuits along the way.

Lan Huan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jiang, is there a solution to this Shura Seal?"

Jiang Xinxin shook her head. Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan looked at each other and said regretfully, "Originally, if only the consciousness or the soul was lost, it would be easy to solve. All you have to do is take the victim's personal belongings to summon the soul. But firstly, the consciousness and soul are torn apart alive. Even if you find them back, you have to spend countless spiritual medicines and immortal medicines to perform the soul-repairing technique. Secondly, when the victim is found, the consciousness and soul have often been lost for more than seven days. The consciousness is okay, after all, it is acquired through cultivation, so it can be found back, but the soul is innate to everyone. If it exceeds seven days without spiritual medicines and immortal medicines to calm the soul, it will never be found again."

Jin Zixuan added: "Moreover, this soul-replenishing technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Not only is it complicated to perform, it also requires the cooperation of multiple people. The people who cooperate with each other also have to have a certain relationship with the victim. So even if the Yunmeng Jiang family has used this soul-replenishing technique to save people, only one or two out of ten can succeed."

Jiang Xinxin looked at the broken soul imprisoned in the body covered with Shura Seals, which looked hideous due to excessive pain and fear, and said regretfully: "Now all we can do is to help him transcend the remaining spiritual consciousness and souls imprisoned in the body that are constantly wailing. However, this will only alert the person behind the spell. The most important thing is that once this spell is released, his body will immediately turn into ashes."

Several members of the Lan family looked at each other in bewilderment. People in the world believe in being buried in peace. Even if a cenotaph is set up, it is only done as a last resort when there is no remains of the body. Now, this disciple has clearly brought his body back, and he is not dead at the moment. It is really not right for them to act on their own.

Lan Zhan stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, brother, just ask the spirit."

This request was approved immediately. Lan Huan also said to Jiang Xinxin, Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan: "Please wait for a moment, if this disciple chooses to be liberated now, I would like to ask you for the method of salvation."

Although the Gusu Lan family is one of the five great families, and Lan Qiren likes to go out and participate in various families' seminars, in fact, the Lan family's attitude of keeping to itself has never changed.

Considering that the Jiang and Wen families will have a war sooner or later, it is really necessary to establish good relations with the Lan family and other aristocratic families in advance, so Jiang Xinxin is very happy to help.

The Lan family's art of questioning spirits was indeed unique, but this disciple's consciousness was broken and his soul was defective. He had long lost his sanity. Even when Lan Zhan summoned the top-grade immortal instrument, the Wangji Qin, and questioned him many times, he only heard wailing sounds.

Seeing this, Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan looked at Jiang Xinxin and asked her what she meant. Jiang Xinxin nodded and said softly to Lan Qiren and Lan Huan, "This is not a solution. I have a section of soul nourishing wood that can be used to help calm the soul. It depends on whether Mr. Lan and Sect Leader Lan are willing for us brothers to intervene."

Lan Huan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master Jiang is willing to help me, which is what I want."

Jiang Xinxin took off a piece of decorative white jade that looked like a lotus root node from the Qingxin Bell she was wearing and handed it to Wei Ying. Upon seeing this, Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan both showed a helpless expression.

But saving people was the most important thing at the moment. Wei Ying put the inch-long soul-nourishing wood into the disciple's hands folded in front of his chest, and together with Jin Zixuan, they walked to the top of the disciple's head and feet respectively, and began to form seals and cast spells together.

The soul-nourishing tree emitted a bright green light at this moment, and Lan Zhan immediately sensed that the disciple was able to consult the spirit normally. He quickly explained his situation in the language of the piano, urging him to make a choice quickly.

As expected, the disciple chose to be liberated. Without Lan Zhan saying anything, everyone saw a slight smile on the disciple's dead-pale face.

The next step is to pray for the souls to be reborn. In theory, the process of praying for the souls of all the immortal sects is similar. It is nothing more than resolving the obsession first and then sending the person away, or forcibly sending those who are stubborn away.

But now that Jiang Xinxin is here, she has invented another way of salvation: directly summoning the ghost messenger from the ghost world to take people away.

Originally, this world could not allow ghosts to enter the underworld or the ghost world because the token of the underworld was lost. The birth of life every year was all thanks to the help of heaven.

At that time, Jiang Xinxin thought that she had just come out of the previous world, and that world's six realms were just established, so the heavenly law must not be that strict. She herself had just come out and was pulled over by the heavenly law of this world. The two worlds must be not far apart, so the method of salvation she derived was to summon ghosts and gods from the ghost world of the previous world to take away the souls in this world.

This method is very good. If this side of the Heavenly Dao is not so weak that it cannot be contacted, she will definitely try to bring them together and strive to promote the connection between the two worlds as soon as possible.

So, as soon as she used the spell to summon ghosts and gods, Lan Qiren, who saw the Yin God for the first time, directly tore off several strands of his beard.
