Chapter 2986

Looking at the Myriad Soul Banner in the man's hand, the woman, Yue Linxian, and three others all wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

They were all familiar with this thing; even Yue Linxian and the three others had seen the Myriad Soul Banner before, and had even crossed blows with it.

But this is hardly a demonic path tactic, is it? It seems you lot aren't exactly Hǎo rén either.

Who would a Hǎo rén be, carrying a Myriad Soul Banner on their person?

Moreover, just one glance at the man's Myriad Soul Banner makes it obvious that it is absolutely not an ordinary object.

It is far beyond what the Myriad Soul Banners of the Immortal Realm could compare to.

Compared to the Myriad Soul Banner before them, those of the Immortal Realm are nothing; theirs emit not black qi but the aura of merit.

It's practically righteousness turned evil.

Who knows how many living beings the man sacrificed to refine this Myriad Soul Banner to reach such a level.

In any case, it's surely an astronomical number.

Without paying attention to the swiftly retreating Yue Linxian and the three others, after unleashing the Myriad Soul Banner, the man's gaze locked firmly onto the woman.

Faced with the man's icy gaze, the woman grew somewhat flustered.

"Wait a moment, stay calm—you're not clear-headed right now, don't act rashly………………"

Now that even the Myriad Soul Banner has appeared, those earlier moves were at most petty squabbles, not worth mentioning.

If the woman was merely angry before, now she is utterly terrified.

As an insider knows her own affairs, she is all too aware of the terror of this Myriad Soul Banner; it can no longer be measured in heads.

It is only after sacrificing and refining over ten entire races that it possesses its present power.

This is nothing short of a demonic weapon evil to the extreme.

Anyway, looking at the Great Black Banner puffing out black qi, the woman only felt that she was in some danger today.

Yet in the face of her angry shout, the man showed not the slightest hesitation, nor any pause, and snorted coldly.

"Cut the nonsense, look at the banner."

"You idiot, what are you trying to do………………………"

Seeing the black qi surge toward her like a tide, with countless wailing vengeful spirits faintly audible within, the woman cursed loudly.

This is a black tide formed from gathered vengeful spirits.

This idiot truly intends to put her to death.

Unfortunately, the woman's roar had no effect; as the black tide surged, it instantly engulfed her.

Afterward, around the woman, a black hand quickly seized her, and no matter how she struggled, those dark hands did not lessen in the slightest—in fact, they grew more numerous.

"Damn it, damn it—I told you from the start not to give you this banner."

She struggled desperately to break free, but the more she struggled, the more helpless she felt, and the woman didn't know what to do.

In the end, she could only unwillingly sink into the black tide, as the black qi was forcibly dragged back into the Great Black Banner.

Watching the woman be taken in a single strike, Yue Linxian and the three others beside him were stunned.

No, they had intended for the two to wound each other, then the three of them would move in for the finishing blow.

But they hadn't expected the man to have such a deadly weapon in his hand.

As soon as the Myriad Soul Banner appeared, one strike took the woman, leaving her not even a shred of resistance.

But the problem is, the woman is gone—what about the man?

Don't look at him now, all deep in affection, calling her 'babe' and 'father-in-law' over and over.

But the problem is, neither Tianhe's Charm Technique nor Zhao Tianqing's poison wine can last forever.

Once the man regains his clarity, they're doomed.

Thinking this over, Yue Linxian and the three others exchanged glances—it was unexpected, the battle ended too quickly, and the man hasn't suffered any serious injury.

Even if they struck now, even with the full force of the Heavenly Palace, their chances of victory would still be slim.

Moreover, the man still has the Myriad Soul Banner in hand; even if they summoned the Feather God Tribe for help, they'd likely be taken in after just a few moves.

Just looking at this thing fills one with despair—there's simply no way to fight it.

To deal with the man, they must first deal with that Myriad Soul Banner, preferably sending the man into it as well.

But this thing surely has a seal; never mind whether they could break it, even if they could, they lack the opportunity and time.

Unless……………………

Just as the three were secretly terrified, they saw the man approach Tianhe with a smiling face and speak solicitously.

"Babe, are you all right?"

Faced with the man's solicitous inquiry, Tianhe first froze, then quickly came to her senses, as if suddenly recalling something, and she cracked a smile.

"I'm fine, thanks to you."

That smile looked a bit nauseating, but to the man it was the most beautiful smile in the world.

For a moment, his gaze toward Tianhe grew ever softer.

They exchanged a few nauseating sweet nothings—anyway, Zhao Tianqing himself couldn't stomach it, how could you say such things?

Two grown men, and one of them an old geezer, pulling this stunt here?

But Tianhe paid no heed to those remarks, feeling she had steadied the man, and she smiled as she spoke.

"Your Great Black Banner is so impressive—may I take a look?"

"This……………………………no problem."

Hearing this, the man hesitated instinctively for a moment, but due to being under the influence of the illusion technique and the poison wine, it was only an instant before he nodded and agreed.

After all, at this moment, in the man's eyes, Tianhe is his beloved, the person he trusts most.

Since his beloved wants to see his Myriad Soul Banner, he will let her have it.

Taking the Myriad Soul Banner, even with Tianhe's cultivation, she felt a piercing chill—truly overbearing to the extreme.

However, none of that is important; the surface praise was just for show, but secretly Tianhe examined this Ten Thousand Soul Banner inside and out.

Sure enough, there is a seal, and he couldn't break it.

Thinking of this, Tianhe looked up at the man and said.

"Why can't I use it?"

"Baby, don't panic; I've already refined this magic artifact, so to use it you need to know where the seal is."

"Can you teach me?"

"This..."

"You don't want to?"

"No, I do want to—I certainly do."

Under Tianhe's coquettish act, the man quickly gave in and then fully told him the seal.

Having successfully mastered the seal of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, he then heard the man say.

"Baby, you must not tell anyone about this seal; otherwise, if someone finds out, in a sneak attack we could both be captured inside, and even I couldn't get out—the seal cannot be controlled from within the banner."

The man added a worried reminder, saying this is just common sense; such a thing basically never happens—who in their right mind would tell others the seal of their own magic artifact? That's like handing a knife to someone else.

Just hearing that, Tianhe grinned.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone—but now, please enter the banner."

"Baby, what did you say?"

"I said you should go in too."
