Chapter 6776: Soul Summon

“Please enlighten me, Young Noble.” Xiaoyue bowed.

“The new immortals believe that they are in charge. However, they have no idea about how the villainous heaven saved them. If it didn’t prevent the inborn primordial immortals from running wild, they would have devoured everything including the divine beasts. Nothing would be left, certainly no shored immortals either.” Li Qiye said: “The legacies in the modern immortals’ possession are so weak in comparison, the gap is immense.”

“I’d like to meet one after listening to you.” She murmured.

“If you had met them back then, you would be food in their bellies.” He chuckled.

“Right, the divine beasts are still born later.” She said.

“Which is why the only true lord is the villainous heaven who planned all of this.” He said.

“The high heaven.” She looked up at the sky.

“Start the soul call.” He changed the topic.

“Young Noble, I’m not sure I can since Qing Ji died long ago.” She shook her head.

“Is that the only reason? Or is there something else?” He smiled.

“Perhaps both.” She smiled wryly: “If Qing Ji knows that it’s me doing the calling, he might not answer.”

“I know you don’t want to bring it up, but I can make Qing Ji talk.” He smiled.

Her expression changed greatly.

“You should have expected this.” He said.

“Yes, but I have no power to stop you.” She took a deep breath.

“At least you know your limit and aren’t acting rashly.” He said.

“I would never dare to stand in your way.” She bowed: “But Young Noble, Qing Ji might just be speaking nonsense, spewing lies.”

“Some say that when a man is about to die, his words ring true. Tell me, would the dead bother to lie?” He said.

“Perhaps he simply believes black is white.” She said.

“Why are you so sure that it is he who is wrong, and not your group?” He asked.

“Are you taking his side, Young Noble?” She commented.

“Not quite.” He said: “There’s always a deeper cause to abnormality. Think about it, why did he join Immortal Hunt? Was it just to eat immortals?”

“Young Noble, what happened was witnessed by many.” She said softly.

“Then what did you all see? Tell me.” He said.

She clamped her mouth tightly as if this shouldn’t be discussed.

“What’s taboo to an immortal? Especially a primordial one such as yourself. How interesting.” He said.

She seemed willing to protect this secret at all costs.

“I wonder if you would try to fight me if I insist on being nosy.” He said.

“To be honest, Young Noble, there’s no secret behind it, just a disgraceful matter that shouldn’t be spoken.” She said.

“I disagree, the secrets behind it are worth digging into.” He shook his head.

“I’m afraid I have no say in this matter.” She hesitated before responding.

“When I wish to know, no one can say otherwise.” He said.

She realized he was determined to find the answer regardless of the parties involved, whether it be Divine Firmament or anyone else. Struggling was useless.

“I understand, I have no plan of stopping you.” She said.

“Good, because when I decide to kill, I will not show mercy. Eradicating all of Divine Firmament is fine with me.” He declared.

“Yes, Young Noble.” She solemnly said.

“I will not force you to speak but when I start looking for clues, you should know what needs to be done.” He said.

“I understand.” She understood the gravity of the situation. Hindering him was useless.

“Go.” He said.

“I will try my best.” She took a deep breath and stood before the divine artifacts, forming a mudra and chanting.

“Buzz.” The purest and oldest divine bestial auras emanated. A single strand could dominate all the beasts found in Beastmaster.

The strands contained power and bloodline essences, slowly dripping onto the three artifacts like mist.

Since Qing Ji had died long ago, the remnant auras were thin. Nevertheless, they were far purer than anything else seen in Beastmaster.
