Chapter 367

"I submit, I submit, you're amazing!" What's up with this blade?

He Lingchuan twisted the blade head: "Who did you say was a stinky bug that doesn't wash just now?"

"I..." The mirror's reaction was also fast, "I was talking about that kid Gan Laosan!"

"What exactly are you? If you dare to have half a word of falsehood again, I'll twist you into a pretzel."

"I was originally a heart-protecting mirror bestowed by the Tianyan Sect to General Yu Shanming, and I followed him in battle for many years. I absorbed too many vengeful spirits, so I woke up."

This thing was originally a heart-protecting mirror? No wonder it was hard to pierce; it was originally built to block this.

He Lingchuan remembered that the mirrors used by Qingxu and the others were also of the same style as this thing; it seemed they were uniformly produced by the Tianyan Sect.

Fortunately, he stabbed from the back of the mirror to the front, which counted as a weak-point strike.

The mirror added: "Later, General Yu died in battle, I was taken off his armor, and I changed many owners. They all took me to kill people and monsters, so I could maintain my spirituality even after the decline of heaven and earth's spiritual energy."

"What did you come here to do?"

"I was sealed for a long time and was sleeping. A few days ago, I suddenly ate a large piece of Di Liu Jiang paste, and I woke up, discovered I was in the wilderness, and called out a mirror slave to take me away." The mirror was also depressed, "Although I have my blessing, she was already over two hundred years old, and her lifespan was truly exhausted, so I could only find a nearby mirror slave to take in."

"That is Gan Sanye Gan?" As the name suggests, this mirror used living people as slaves.

"Yes, the rule for taking in a mirror slave is that they must do three things for it; if they can agree directly, that's the best."

That muddle-headed fool. He Lingchuan shook his head secretly; no wonder Eldest Master Gan warned this third brother repeatedly not to find the shamaness again.

"Did Eldest Master Gan see how you dealt with Young Master Sha?"

"He was right there at the time." The mirror said, "You think he didn't know beforehand? I said this would use up Gan Laosan's second wish, but he still made the request!"

He Lingchuan was silent. Eldest Master Gan understood that the shamaness wouldn't work for the Gan family for no reason, and the price would definitely be paid by Gan Laosan in the end. But for the sake of his own business, he still requested the shamaness to take action against Young Master Sha.

Of course, perhaps looking at it from another angle, Gan Sanye Gan relied entirely on his big brother to live a life of luxury for seventeen or eighteen years, so what was wrong with paying a little price for this family? While he was pondering, a large fish two feet long suddenly leaped out of the lake and hit his wrist directly.

This was truly a stroke of genius. When He Lingchuan was talking to the mirror, he had actually been keeping his divine sense scanning the surroundings to prevent an attack.

However, the lake water could isolate divine sense, and this fish leaped without any warning.

The evil ghost that had slipped away earlier had quietly entered the water and possessed the fish.

His wrist was hit and flipped, and the mirror was also brought to flip over, with the mirror surface facing He Lingchuan! The mirror surface glowed, and he saw his own face in the mirror.

"Himself" was grinning at him: "You really think you won? Hand over your soul!"

It had been planning to show weakness to the enemy, just waiting for this moment! He Lingchuan immediately felt a great suction force coming from the mirror, wanting to pull his soul inside.

He had already been hit by a move earlier in the mirror illusion, but the suction force of the mirror image at that time couldn't be compared to the genuine article in front of him at all! No wonder so many people couldn't escape its poisonous hands.

However, just as the shadow in the mirror was laughing happily, a "buzz" sounded in his own brain, as if someone had struck a great bell.

That sound was melodious and deep, carrying an indescribable, majestic power, which immediately fixed his soul, never to waver again.

Sure enough, it was like this. He Lingchuan finally felt relieved; the two-piece set on his body was enough to restrain this mirror.

At the same time, his image in the mirror widened its eyes: looking from his angle, a huge city suddenly appeared in the void behind He Lingchuan. Although only the outline was sketched in the dimness and the details couldn't be seen clearly, it was towering and jagged, with many shadows on the city gate, and countless voices seemed to be whispering in the air, and a vast and majestic aura rushed toward him!

It couldn't resist this kind of power at all! "Undead City, Undead City!" The mirror screamed until its voice broke, the terror like a rabbit being chased by a tiger, "You came from the Soul Village, there really is an Undead City in this world..."

The Fusheng blade suddenly shook, and the killing aura interrupted its following words.

Ah, it cracked a little more! "Undead your sister!" He Lingchuan grinned and punched the mirror surface twice, "Spit out my Golden-Armored Copper Man!"

He didn't know what ghost this mirror had seen, suddenly shouting about the Undead City.

He wasn't clear about the Undead City, he only knew Panlongcheng. Thinking of the initial desert journey, Panlongcheng indeed harbored countless heroic souls, which had killed Nian Songyu and Master Sun.

Weren't heroic souls also undead?

The existence of Panlongcheng had always been his biggest trump card, and being called out by this mirror suddenly made him very unhappy.

This thing was extremely insidious, trying every possible way to scheme against people. If it weren't for the treasure still being left in the mirror, he would want to chop it into pieces right now to avoid future trouble.

Having suffered this heavy fright, the mirror became much more honest and spat out the Golden-Armored Copper Man with a puff.

At that time, this copper man threw the three of them out of the mirror world, and it fell down together with Red Luan. If the mirror spirit hadn't cooperated, He Lingchuan would have lost a treasure.

The Golden-Armored Copper Man turned back into a small doll. He Lingchuan picked it up and checked it, so angry he almost spat fire:

"Where is the profound crystal? Where is the profound crystal inside my copper man, did you swallow it?"

As a large combat puppet, the Golden-Armored Copper Man needed profound crystals to be driven. He Lingchuan originally only had two profound crystals, and he put one in it, which was enough to use several times.

Who would have thought that the copper man's box was empty! "It wasn't me, it consumed it itself." After the mirror's sophistry, He Lingchuan learned that after the three of them left the mirror world, the Golden-Armored Copper Man lost contact with the controller and didn't receive an instruction to stop acting, so it continued to go on a rampage.

It was a big energy consumer, and after a few back-and-forth, it quickly consumed the profound crystal.

When He Lingchuan heard this, his heart was bleeding.

Such a precious energy source as a profound crystal, with each one costing in the tens of thousands, was actually wasted just like that.

Looking at the scars on the copper man again, it was clear that it hadn't fought fewer people in the illusion.

A huge loss.

The mirror even had to complain: "It found the characters in my mirror to fight, destroying a lot of karma, I am the real victim!"

He Lingchuan was truly furious, and just as he was about to teach this broken mirror another lesson, the sound of hooves approached, and Wu Jingsong and the other finally rushed back.

"Just arrived at Baijiao Shrine, Gan Laosan turned into ash." Wu Jingsong was still panting, "We were tricked."

He Lingchuan shook the bronze mirror at them, of course remembering to face the back toward people.

"The mirror is here." He said angrily, "It's all it causing trouble, Gan Laosan was just a cover, he was a mirror slave signed by it."

Wu Jingsong approached cautiously: "Is this the object that snatched our souls?"

"Should be." He Lingchuan patted the mirror surface, "Hey, where are their souls, return them!"

He knocked a few times, and the mirror spat out two light orbs reluctantly.

These two light orbs flew toward Wu Jingsong and the other, drilling into their seven orifices respectively.

The two shivered, their gazes quickly turning from dull to clear, and their expressions became vivid.

Then they looked at each other and cupped their fists to He Lingchuan: "Many thanks to Young Master He for your help!"

Hearing their different tones, He Lingchuan knew they had returned to their souls—no, returned to their senses, and had their own emotional changes.

"We still need to retrieve the soul lost by Young Master Sha."

The mirror hurriedly said: "Okay, but if I give it out now, his soul will dissipate." From here to the Sha residence, the distance was more than a hundred miles? Even a living soul couldn't leave the body or container for too long.

Their companions were all killed by it, and Xu Dongdong hated it to the point of gnashing his teeth: "No need! We have deep-sea wood, which can nurture souls..."

How could they not be prepared with a container when they came to find Young Master Sha's lost soul? But his words were interrupted here, because he suddenly remembered that the deep-sea wood was originally stored in the hands of his companions, and his companions had died in the mirror world.

"Return our deep-sea wood!"

The mirror didn't make a sound, just pretending not to hear. It wasn't stupid; once the thing was handed over, the big blade would probably fall down.

"It seems we have to bring this thing back together." Wu Jingsong looked at He Lingchuan and hesitated before saying, "I wonder if Young Master He is willing to transfer..."

This was someone else's war trophy, and He Lingchuan had the ability; what price should he offer to ask the other party to transfer the mirror?

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "The two of you are going back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion of the Treasure Tree King to report?"

"Exactly."

"I am also going to Beijia." He Lingchuan smiled, revealing his teeth, "Going with you?"

Wu Jingsong was overjoyed: "That would be the best!"

His heart suddenly relaxed, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "If you return the young master's soul, the Grand Tutor will definitely have a heavy reward!"

He Lingchuan laughed twice, feeling that he was more sincere when he had lost his soul.

Immediately, they demanded the mirror return the five corpses of the Sha residence guards, burying them and carving steles on the side of Mo Chou Lake.

Wu Jingsong and Xu Dongdong recited prayers for them and poured two pots of wine, only then leading their horses and returning to Wu Ze County with He Lingchuan.

Regarding Gan Sanye Gan, He Lingchuan also had a disposition: he forced the mirror to lift the mirror slave contract, allowing Gan Sanye Gan to return to his free self.

If he had killed him with one blade, it would have been too easy for Gan Sanye Gan.

Honestly, although the soul-snatching mirror wasn't a good thing, with the Gan family in turmoil and Gan Sanye Gan's situation so unbearable, becoming a mirror slave of the soul-snatching mirror was actually the best way out.

Earlier, the shamaness was cut in two by He Lingchuan, but she could quickly heal through the identity of a mirror slave, not to mention she had lived for more than two hundred years, far exceeding the limit of an ordinary person's lifespan.

If this mirror played dirty tricks and made underhanded moves, it might really have been able to lead the Gan family out of the mud.

Hadn't Eldest Master Gan demonstrated it once? Evil things have their own usefulness, and evil paths have their own convenience.

He Lingchuan specifically asked the mirror to remove this contract, beating Gan Sanye Gan back to his original form to endure what he should have endured in the first place.

For a parasite-like figure like him, once the pillar of the family fell, his end...

Hehe.
