Chapter 120: Past and present, Yellow Springs, have we ever met?

"I came here for that remnant soul. Go, get that soul out for me, and I will spare your life. If you dare to play tricks, I will let you know what an evil person's means are."

She was clearly saying it with a smile, but the Jingjing Beast was trembling with fear: "Don't dare, don't dare. But... I can't get it up anymore. I don't know why, after it fell to the bottom of the lake, it became dead heavy and occupied my territory to sleep soundly. I can't eat it, I stare at it every day and suffer, I've long wanted to throw it out, but I just can't throw it away."

"Can't throw it away?" Lin Qingyue was about to go into the water, but suddenly turned to look at the Jingjing Beast, "You wouldn't be fooling me, would you?"

The Jingjing Beast hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare. I'll lead the way in front, you follow me!"

After speaking, the Jingjing Beast jumped into the lake with a splash, and Lin Qingyue followed after a little thought.

The lake water looked clear and transparent from the shore, but it was very muddy and black in the water, and the surrounding scenery could not be seen clearly.

Even the Jingjing Beast disappeared without a trace as soon as it got into the water.

Just as Lin Qingyue looked around, searching for the Jingjing Beast, the cold air around her suddenly became intense.

Lin Qingyue realized that the situation was not right and was about to turn back.

However, just at this moment, a white phantom appeared in front: a slender figure, handsome features—it was exactly the Heavenly Soul of Dongfang Qi that they had been looking for for a long time!

It was just that this remnant soul was frozen in an ice pillar at this moment, its eyes closed, falling into an unconscious state.

No wonder Dongfang Qi had always been unable to sense his soul; it turned out to be trapped at the bottom of the lake!

Lin Qingyue hurriedly swam forward, and when she reached the front, she was about to raise her palm to split the ice pillar, but remembered that what was trapped inside at this moment was only a remnant soul of Dongfang Qi.

The remnant soul was already weak, if she used brute force to break the ice pillar again, then the remnant soul would also be shattered along with the ice pillar.

After a little hesitation, Lin Qingyue covered the ice pillar with both palms, using her own pure spiritual power to melt the ice pillar.

With the infusion of spiritual power, the ice pillar slowly began to melt.

When the last layer of thin ice also turned into liquid, Lin Qingyue hurriedly grabbed the palm of the remnant soul.

Seemingly sensing something, the remnant soul that had fallen into a coma slowly woke up, its pale eyelids lifted, revealing star-like eyes, looking at Lin Qingyue in confusion.

This was just a remnant soul, without the memory of that period of time, so it didn't recognize Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue grabbed the remnant soul and was about to leave, when her body suddenly stiffened, and her hands and feet quickly began to freeze.

At this time, the Jingjing Beast's figure appeared.

The flattering expression on its face was gone, leaving only a successful bad smile: "I've been here for thousands of years, you little girl from outside, dare to run wild on my territory. I'll make you go and not return!"

Lin Qingyue realized that she had been ambushed, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and at the same time, her palm exerted force and pushed hard, pushing Dongfang Qi's remnant soul out of the water.

The nearby lake water began to freeze, and in an instant, she, along with Lin Qingyue, were all frozen into ice blocks.

And Dongfang Qi's remnant soul was pushed further and further away, watching the woman who had just saved him turn into an ice pillar and slowly sink into the dark abyss at the bottom of the lake.

At the last moment of gazing, he didn't know why he actually felt a sense of familiarity.

Clearly it was their first meeting, but why did her eyes make him feel familiar?

When her figure completely disappeared from his sight, his heart ached, as if he had lost something more important than life.

Who are you, who exactly are you? Past and present, Yellow Springs, have we ever met?

Dongfang Qi was holding the Nether Umbrella and searching for his Heavenly Soul everywhere, but he didn't gain much after searching for a long time.

Just at this moment, the Twin Resonance Talisman given to him by Lin Qingyue suddenly emitted a scorching temperature, burning his chest with pain.

He hurriedly took out the talisman, and saw the runes on it constantly flickering.

But soon, the runes drawn with Lin Qingyue's blood began to fade and no longer glowed.

Dongfang Qi's face changed greatly: "Not good, Deputy Envoy Lin is in danger!"

Although Lin Qingyue had always been full of confidence in helping him find his soul, the Chiying Land was full of demons and evil, and no one knew what kind of danger was hidden inside.

He was anxious in his heart, his steps were fast, running in the direction guided by the Twin Resonance Talisman.

"Deputy Envoy Lin, you must not have anything happen, otherwise I, Dongfang Qi, will be inexcusable even if I die ten thousand times!"

I don't know how long it took, he finally followed the guidance of the Twin Resonance Talisman and stepped into the center of the Chiying Land. A large lake appeared before his eyes, the wind was clear and the moon was bright, and there was no evil energy dispersing.

Suddenly, the bells under the Nether Umbrella were disturbed by something, making a tinkling sound.

At the same time, Dongfang Qi also suddenly sensed something, looked up, and saw a white phantom floating out of the thick fog ahead.

That was his lost Heavenly Soul!

That white phantom, at this moment, was a helpless lonely soul standing by the lake, muttering to himself: "Who exactly are you?"

Dongfang Qi was overjoyed and ran towards his Heavenly Soul.

The Heavenly Soul was also attracted by his main body, slowly turned around, and walked towards his main body.

Before, Lin Qingyue had mentioned to Dongfang Qi that if he found his Heavenly Soul first, he should not merge it, and wait for her to return.

But now, Lin Qingyue had suddenly lost contact, and with his current weak body, let alone saving people, it would be difficult to even walk out of the Chiying Land alive.

But if the Heavenly Soul returned to the main body, and he recovered to his original state, it would be different.

Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged, the red Nether Umbrella floating above his head, continuing to be his shelter.

He operated the energy in his body and summoned: "Heavenly Soul, return to your position!"

That phantom received the summons and flew into Dongfang Qi's body with a swoosh.

The soul fusion was too fast, and without the help of outsiders, his body suddenly suffered a strong impact, and his internal organs felt as if they were vibrating.

"Pfft," Dongfang Qi spat out a large mouthful of blood.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corners of his lips. Although the fusion was reckless, the collision of the three souls in his body caused some internal injuries, but when he stood up, his entire aura was completely different.

The world only knew that Dongfang Qi was the Crown Prince of Da Qi, but few people knew that he was actually also a cultivator.

Dongfang Qi was born with extraordinary talent, intelligent since childhood, and could see things that ordinary people couldn't see.

Emperor Zhaodi of Qi was also truly doting on this son, just because he said: "I want to suppress demons and eliminate evil, and protect the peace of the world."

So he selected the best sorcerers to teach him skills.

It was just that these metaphysical arts were ultimately side-door paths, so they were not made public.

Dongfang Qi had already achieved success when he was a teenager, and there was no master in the world who could teach him anymore.

Also because he saw commoners suffering from evil spirits, either unable to do anything, or having to sell everything to ask for high-ranking people, or being cheated of money by Jianghu sorcerers.

Therefore, Dongfang Qi founded the Xuanjing Division to protect the peace of the people. Any event related to strange cases could be solved by the Xuanjing Division, and it would not cost a penny.

At this moment, finding the Heavenly Soul, the scene of Lin Qingyue saving him at the bottom of the lake appeared in his mind.

"So, she is at the bottom of the lake!"

Almost without hesitation, Dongfang Qi leaped and jumped into the lake water. ===== CHAPTER 121 =====
