Chapter 161: All Are Provisions (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Sun Lingtong did not intercept them in advance, but instead left the preparation room and headed straight into the depths.

Ning Zhuo was not by his side now; Sun Lingtong was a black-listed person, unable to claim rewards or push open doors.

Therefore, Sun Lingtong waited for the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng, to push the door open first, then he would follow the momentum and squeeze in.

Seeing this scene, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit ground its teeth in anger!

Meng Chong took the lead, breaking through the second and third levels, and entered the preparation room with sixteen similar puppets.

In an instant, the speed-run, progress, and Qi Refining leaderboards were all filled with names.

The leaderboards only recorded the top ten, and many people were ranked in the teens, without the qualifications to be on the list.

Ning Zhuo exhaled a breath of turbid air, a faint joy in his heart.

In this way, when he entered the preparation room in the future, there would be a very reasonable explanation for why his name could not make the list.

If the leaderboard had been empty before, his failure to make the list would have been a huge flaw!

By borrowing the enemy's hand, Ning Zhuo had resolved this hidden danger.

"Charge, charge, charge!" Meng Chong charged forward wildly all the way.

With him leading the charge, the sixteen puppets behind him were safe and sound, lying flat all the way to Room No. 9.

"Finally here." Sun Lingtong hid in a corner, having made multiple layers of camouflage outside, fully displaying the disguise attainments of the Non-Empty Gate.

Sun Lingtong peered at the outside world through two small holes.

Boom, boom, boom...

Meng Chong laughed loudly, engaging in a melee with the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng.

Having fought his way here, he finally discovered the target he wanted to challenge, his fighting spirit soaring, his whole body wreathed in electric light, fighting with great enjoyment.

As for the other members, they were exchanging fire with numerous Kung Fu puppets and spell puppets, without any formation, the battlefield in total chaos.

Sun Lingtong endured for a short while, and seeing that the timing was ripe, he secretly chuckled and remotely ordered the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, to act.

The Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, was lying flat in a temporarily crafted coffin, and the coffin was buried beneath the floor tiles.

Qi Bai did not show his face, casting spells while lying flat.

Instantly, yin souls wailed and ghost spirits whistled!

All kinds of beast souls emerged from the ground, pouncing toward the modification team.

Where did the beast souls come from?

This was thanks to a good idea of Ning Zhuo's.

After understanding the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, he thought of the first level of the Buddha Gate.

There were many coffins there, and many corpses were sealed and stored in the coffins, including both demonic beasts and spiritual plants.

Did these have souls?

In all likelihood, they did!

Because when constructing spiritual rhyme mechanisms, one should try to keep them intact. The physical body, soul, magic power, essence blood, spiritual sense, etc., the more complete, the better.

Thus, Ning Zhuo brought Sun Lingtong and the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, to the first level of the Buddha Gate.

Cooperating with the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, the souls in these coffins were all summoned out. The Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, took the opportunity to fiercely replenish a large amount of combat power!

The modification team had just defeated all the Kung Fu and spell puppets and were all watching the battle between Meng Chong and Yuan Da Sheng, which was exactly when they were exhausted and lax.

Under the sudden change, many people reacted a bit slowly, were pounced on by ghosts, their own souls collided with, and even had a large chunk bitten off, screaming repeatedly.

The scene was in great chaos.

The air temperature plummeted, yin souls rose everywhere, dancing in mid-air.

The City Lord's Mansion's modification team was in disarray, scattering in a rush.

"There's an ambush?!" Meng Chong took a moment to look, and the next moment he was countered by Yuan Da Sheng, knocked flying, and hit the wall.

"Roar!" Yuan Da Sheng raised his head and roared, beating his chest, fully displaying a heroic and fierce aura.

Subsequently, he hooked his index finger at Meng Chong, the provocation extremely intense.

Meng Chong's eyes widened instantly; he had actually been looked down upon by a mechanical creation!

He let out a low roar, rushed up, and once again fought with Yuan Da Sheng.

After a few rounds of exchanges, Yuan Da Sheng suddenly abandoned defense, stretched out his arms, and wanted to hug Meng Chong.

A flash of brilliance shone in Meng Chong's eyes: "A flaw!"

Wild Running Thunder!

He shot out instantly like a bolt of lightning.

Yuan Da Sheng crossed his arms and hugged empty air.

Almost simultaneously, Meng Chong appeared behind him as if teleporting.

Meng Chong aimed at Yuan Da Sheng's back and struck heavily.

Just as he succeeded, a black shadow drifted out and attacked him.

Meng Chong did not expect this, and failing to dodge in time, he was hit in the back by the black shadow.

It was precisely the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, who had been lurking and waiting for an opportunity to act!

Just from this one blow, Meng Chong lost his mobility, and his soul was forcibly extracted from the puppet body!

Meng Chong:?!

The modification team, who were being chased by a large number of beast souls, saw this scene and finally woke up.

"Young Master Meng Chong!"

"Quick, save the Young Master."

"Another special mechanical puppet has appeared!!"

They disregarded their own safety and rushed toward Qi Bai one after another.

Qi Bai drifted backward silently.

Roar!

Yuan Da Sheng jumped in front of the crowd, becoming an insurmountable obstacle.

"Ah..." Meng Chong screamed.

His soul fell into Qi Bai's hands, and just like a full balloon being poked with a hole, it was rapidly collapsing.

Nine-Turn Soul-Devouring Art!

Although Qi Bai was dead, his Golden Dan remained, and the Nine-Turn Soul-Devouring Art remained.

During his lifetime, he had easily extracted Sun Lingtong's soul. This time, having succeeded in a sneak attack, he likewise caught Meng Chong's soul.

It operated the Nine-Turn Soul-Devouring Art, devouring Meng Chong's soul!

Meng Chong pinched Qi Bai's arm with both hands, kicked his legs wildly, subconsciously wanting to use the immortal talent Wild Running Thunder.

But Sun Lingtong was well-prepared and gave a precise order: "Use the Soul-Oscillating Throat Drum!"

The throat of the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, vibrated gently, emitting a drum sound.

The drum sound hit Meng Chong squarely, and the latter immediately felt the world spinning, his hands and legs hanging down powerlessly like noodles, no longer struggling.

Qi Bai took the opportunity to fiercely extract the soul.

When Meng Chong's soul shrank to the limit and was on the verge of collapse, the Life-Hanging Thread above his head was triggered, and with a gentle shake, he was pulled out of the Immortal Palace and sent back to his physical body.

Without Meng Chong, although the modification team had many people, they were not worth worrying about.

Under the joint efforts of the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng, and the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, they were soon soul-extracted and all devoured. Before their souls could scatter, they were sent back to their bodies by the Life-Hanging Thread.

"Won!"

"Too easy."

Sun Lingtong walked out of the corner, clapped his hands, and was very excited.

He strode over and trotted all the way to the front of the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, and gave it an order.

Qi Bai half-knelt down, stretched out his palm, and pressed his palm against Sun Lingtong's puppet body.

The next moment, pure soul essence was infused into Sun Lingtong's soul.

Sun Lingtong raised his head, took a deep breath, and shouted that it was comfortable.

His soul had originally been injured, and although he had received the treatment of the Phoenix Soul Blood Fragrance Pill, there was still a distance to full recovery.

But at this moment, he obtained soul essence, his soul injuries healed rapidly, and after reaching a peak state, he constantly surpassed his limits, growing rapidly!

"Wonderful, truly wonderful!" Sun Lingtong was beaming with joy.

"Stop, stop." He called a halt in time.

He had absorbed half of the soul essence, and he wanted to leave the other half for Ning Zhuo.

"The injuries on my soul have completely healed."

"All future soul essence will be left for Little Zhuo. The more his soul power grows, the more he can claim more Illusion-Truth Lotus Seeds!"

He called out to the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng: "Little Zhuo, come quickly, there's something delicious!"

Ning Zhuo witnessed the entire process through Yuan Da Sheng and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He hadn't absorbed soul essence for a long time.

Han Ming was lost, and Qi Bai had been made into a mechanical puppet, which allowed him to regain the channel for obtaining soul essence.

"The City Lord's Mansion has a large family and a big business, and treating the soul injuries of Meng Chong and others is easy."

"This is great!"

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but imagine the future.

With the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai, Ning Zhuo suddenly discovered that all the cultivators participating in the trial were provisions for his cultivation!

"Speaking of which, when will the joint modification team of the three families collectively enter the palace?"

Ten Thousand Ghost Forest.

Nether Valley.

The main sect of the Soul-Devouring Sect was located here.

Soul Lamp Tower.

Countless soul lamps were burning quietly, the vast majority of them showing green firelight, but a few soul lamps were burning in other colors.

Among these thousands of soul lamps, a soul lamp with a gray-white flame suddenly went out.

The guarding disciple at first thought he was too sleepy and had a hallucination, but after rubbing his eyes and looking closely, he stood up in horror.

"No, no, it's bad, the soul lamp of the true disciple Qi Bai has gone out!" The guarding disciple ran for a while, ran to the Elder, and knelt down to report.

"What?!" The Elder also couldn't sit still and immediately stood up.

"Is it Qi Bai? The soul lamp of the Blind Judge Qi Bai?" The Elder confirmed again.

The disciple nodded repeatedly.

The Elder's expression was grave, and he hurried to the Soul Lamp Tower. After seeing the extinguished soul lamp, he no longer had any luck.

"A true disciple of our sect has fallen!" The Elder's expression was extremely gloomy, he sighed deeply, and a terrifying killing intent spread out. The guarding disciple beside him felt as if he had suddenly arrived in the middle of winter, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

The Soul Lamp Tower Elder did not linger, immediately left the tower, and went to the Soul-Devouring Main Hall to report.

In the Soul-Devouring Main Hall, the current Sect Master of the Soul-Devouring Sect and several sect Elders were discussing important matters.

"Next year is our sect's decennial disciple competition. The specific content of the competition can perhaps be finalized this time."

"A powerful soul beast has appeared in the soul crystal vein of the Ghost Shadow Mountain Range, its combat power comparable to a Nascent Soul. It has greatly interfered with our sect's task of mining soul crystals, and the sect needs to dispatch Elders in time to exterminate it."

"The Ghost Mother Bone Lotus in the Child Ghost Valley has been accumulating for more than twenty years, and it will bloom in three years. Recently, I heard that true disciples from major righteous sects are secretly plotting to take down the branch sect station in the Child Ghost Valley and destroy the Ghost Mother Bone Lotus."

"The Blood Fiend Sect has recently repeatedly created friction in the middle reaches of the Ghost Crying River. According to intelligence, it is being led by the newly promoted Elder Xue Shouren within the Blood Fiend Sect, and there seems to be a big move. This person is a traitor to our sect and knows a lot about our sect. Now that he has joined the Blood Fiend Sect and become an Elder, if he is not strangled, he will surely become a great disaster in the future."

The Soul-Devouring Sect is a major demonic sect, and its power is so vast that it not only occupies one side but also widely establishes branch sect stations, extending its influence to many cultivation countries.

The position of Sect Master is not easy to do, and being busy with ten thousand things a day is inevitable.

"Urgent report!"

"The soul lamp of our sect's true disciple Qi Bai has gone out, confirmed dead."

The Sect Master and Elders immediately stopped the discussion and looked at the reporting disciple.

The Sect Master's expression was gloomy: "Has the soul been summoned?"

The disciple hurriedly said: "The Soul-Summoning Banner has been summoned seven times, but Qi Bai's soul has not returned. The two Elders at the Soul-Summoning Platform both judged that Qi Bai's soul has scattered."

The Sect Master slapped the armrest in anger: "Good, good, good. Our sect has lost a true disciple. Who made the move? Investigate the true culprit, there will surely be retaliation!"
