Chapter 234: Soul Summoning

After advancing quietly for another ten-plus miles, Meng Su vanished; with one step, he was already over a hundred miles away. After three steps, Meng Su appeared three hundred miles away.

At this moment, the sky was dim, the entire space enveloped by a layer of black fog as thick as oil, with a heavenly river flowing slowly across the sky.

This heavenly river emitted a faint green light, flowing toward the Dafen in front of Meng Su. This mound was a hundred zhang high, with a diameter of over a thousand zhang at the base; at this moment, countless runes were flickering on the mound, as if some ritual were being performed. A massive Soul Summoning Banner was stuck into the top of the mound.

The ink-black bamboo pole and the long, strip-shaped flag had a pattern of a small bird on them, which was moving slowly as the Soul Summoning Banner fluttered.

This was Yaya, but at this moment, Yaya was sealed within the Soul Summoning Banner, participating in a ritual. Meng Su could guess what this ritual was for.

Soul summoning—it was indeed summoning souls, but why would Yaya be needed for soul summoning? Yaya was a Soul-Splitting Bird, similar to a Soul Devouring beast; how could she participate in soul summoning?

Whose soul was being summoned?

There were no more than five people in the Left and Right Sect worth summoning the souls of, and among them were Zuo Lengchan and Right Sect's You Shenji.

This Soul Summoning Banner connected to the Soul River, and countless fragmented souls drifted down along the Soul River, flowing toward the Dafen.

"You brat, your old man only left for a moment, and you ran away from home. Is it fun up there? Come down quickly and come home with me."

Meng Su said, looking at Yaya on the Soul Summoning Banner.

"Hey, you're just talking big without doing anything. These bad guys were looking for you; it was I who blocked them for you. Do you have any sense of public morality? You still have the nerve to be my father—you're such a grown man, and you don't even know how to take care of a child."

Yaya retorted fiercely.

Meng Su looked suspiciously at the Soul River flowing toward the Dafen and asked, "Aren't you a Soul-Splitting Bird? How do you have this ability? Soul gathering?"

"I don't know either. They said I could gather souls, and it turned out I really could. Maybe people don't know their own potential; if you don't push yourself, you'll never know how amazing you are."

Yaya began to get carried away with herself.

"Damn, I haven't even called you fat yet, and you're already panting. You're so young, you need to learn to be low-key. Can you come down now?"

"I can't. This piece of junk cloth has sealing capabilities and has sealed me inside it." Yaya didn't seem panicked at all; it appeared she hadn't suffered any harm.

"Since you can gather souls, can you help me find my wife's soul? Her name is Ling Ziye. Hmm, she is very beautiful." After saying this, Meng Su transmitted Ling Ziye's appearance to Yaya via Divine Sense.

After receiving the information, Yaya was silent for a moment and said, "I have seen the person you are talking about. She drifted along the Soul River, split into countless fragments, and was taken away by a guy wearing black clothes."

"Ah, you useless thing. You saw your own mother being snatched away and you didn't even stop them. Raising you is worse than raising a puppy; a puppy would at least bark twice when it sees a bad guy."

"Tch." Yaya turned on her disdain mode and ignored Meng Su.

Meng Su took a step forward, and a string of runes lit up beneath his feet; a Dafanghuzhen activated, blocking Meng Su on the outside.

Meng Su smiled and cast his gaze into the distance. Ten miles away, there was a cluster of buildings containing thousands of houses of various sizes. In the middle of one castle was a tower. Meng Su's eyes landed on the top of the tower. He said to himself, "Yaya, do you believe that Dad can break open this Dafen and cut off the Soul River?"

"I don't believe you at all, you old geezer. This great formation has been managed by the Left and Right Sect for thousands of years and is already indestructible. What are you going to break it with? Biting it with your mouth? And this Dafen is a supreme treasure that can nourish souls," Yaya said disdainfully.

"Then let's give it a try." After saying this, Meng Su vanished.

Meng Su appeared a thousand miles away.

A faint golden light emanated from Meng Su, who was a thousand miles away, and a thin layer of Chaos Qi wrapped around his body.

One step for a hundred miles, ten steps to reach the Dafen. Suddenly, he stopped; the kinetic energy brought by this thousand-mile distance turned into potential energy in an instant. With Meng Su as the center, a powerful pressure appeared within a ten-mile radius. This pressure cracked the surrounding space. A strange clucking sound echoed in the sky, as if the world could not bear Meng Su's body.

Meng Su took a deep breath, his whole body erupting with golden light, turning into a golden sun that turned the night into day.

The pressure vanished, and all the potential energy gathered in Meng Su's right hand. Meng Su's right hand gripped a short golden blade; with one strike, he tore open the space, a black crack following the short blade, and the sound of cloth tearing echoed in the sky.

Hand rose and blade fell. The golden light vanished, and Meng Su stood where he was, hands tucked into his sleeves, neck hunched, habitually shaking his legs, as if he had never moved at all.

A baby's cry rang out from the Dafen; a pitch-black Demon Infant was sliced into two pieces by the blade—this was the Array Spirit.

The great formation emitted a brilliant light, trying its best to stop the powerful Blade Intent, but it was all in vain.

Time seemed to slow down.

A long blade shadow was seen slowly slicing open the Barrier on the Dafen. The great formation was split into two pieces.

"Idiot, doesn't he know this great formation will repair itself?" The Death God on the high tower looked on with disdain.

As soon as the words fell, the golden Blade Intent entered the interior of the great formation, turning into countless blade shadows that rampaged within the formation, consuming the Array Force.

The great formation slowly closed; having lost its Array Spirit, the operation of the great formation became sluggish.

Meng Su looked at the closing great formation while shaking his legs, cast his gaze toward the high tower, extended his right hand from his sleeve, and gave a thumbs-up to the high tower.

You are powerful, you are tough, but let's see if you can stay tough all night.

Meng Su vanished again.

And then this wave of flashy operations happened all over again.

"How many impacts do you think this great formation can withstand from him?" Jiang Yao asked cautiously.

"Countless times. He cannot break it; this formation is not built from ordinary array stones, but is connected to the origin of this Small World. As long as this world does not perish, this formation will not break," the Death God said without looking back.

Suddenly, he widened his eyes, looking at the distant Dafen in shock.

"Impossible, this is not scientific."

The other two hurriedly stepped forward to observe. They saw a golden light turn into a powerful Blade Intent, enveloping Meng Su's body; after breaking open the great formation, Meng Su entered the interior of the great formation.

"Man and blade as one? But this formation possesses the power to extinguish souls; any flesh and blood body, if not permitted, will be shredded. How did he get in?"

The Death God was completely baffled.

Having entered the great formation, Meng Su extended his middle finger toward the high tower, making the internationally standard gesture.

The two Death Gods vanished from the tower and flew to the front of the Dafen; Jiang Yao also hurriedly followed behind. The three of them stood before Meng Su.

The Death God waved his hand and withdrew the protective formation.

"You're here? You came, so you came, but you didn't even bring anything—is this really how you show up to visit?" Meng Su looked at the three people in front of him with an honest and simple expression.

Jiang Yao was young and couldn't stand others being arrogant; this arrogance should belong to the strong, and he himself was a strong person, so only he could be arrogant, not others—especially the Meng Su before him.

Jiang Yao said indignantly, "You little brat, don't be arrogant. Your lover's soul body is still with me. You better kneel before me quickly; perhaps I will return your lover to you, but don't count on living. I am going to slice you into a thousand pieces."

"Heh, this business can't be negotiated; your asking price is too high. In my eyes, there are only two types of people: those who can do business, and dead people."

After saying this, Meng Su vanished.
