Chapter 1281: Curse Spirit (First update, requesting all)

The so-called split soul is nothing more than using a special technique to sever a fragment of one's soul, which possesses a certain degree of independent personality; as long as one recuperates for a period of time, the soul can recover.

The reason Empress Xuan did this is likely because the Queen Mother Mirror lacks an Artifact Spirit, and she wanted to use the split soul to replace it.

However, a split soul is a split soul, and the main body is the main body; if the split soul encounters certain irresistible factors, the main body may not necessarily know, especially since the current location is the Dawn Plane, which is also shielded by the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array.

It is for this reason that Empress Xuan cannot know what is happening here; only when the Queen Mother Mirror returns to the Fairy World will Empress Xuan be able to receive the memories of the split soul.

"Traitor, die!"

As the voice of Empress Xuan's split soul fell, a beam of light shot out from the surface of the Queen Mother Mirror once again, charging straight toward Mingcang King.

The beam of light came too fast and the distance was too close; Mingcang King barely had time to recall her Demon Pet to defend, her complexion instantly turned pale, and it looked as if she were about to be swallowed by the beam.

At the critical moment, the Qiankun Plate flashed over and collided with the beam of light, forcing the beam to deflect and land in an empty space.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the beam of light landed on the ground, directly blasting out a deep pit over a hundred meters wide.

At this moment, the Three Talents Lamp appeared and spewed out a flame of near-chaotic color; before Empress Xuan's split soul could react, the Queen Mother Mirror was submerged in the flames.

"Ah, you dare!"

Under the extreme high temperature, Empress Xuan's split soul felt very uncomfortable, and the image on the shattered mirror surface became even more distorted; she endured the scorching heat, controlling the Queen Mother Mirror as she tried to fly out of the range of the flames.

However, Li Zhangsheng did not give her a chance at all; the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords flashed out again, accurately hitting the surface of the Queen Mother Mirror.

"Ah!"

Empress Xuan's split soul let out a shrill scream, and accompanied by a clattering sound, the surface of the Queen Mother Mirror shattered completely, turning into a pile of fragments, and even the mirror body itself was broken with a small hole.

Fairy World, Northern Region.

At the moment the Queen Mother Mirror shattered, Empress Xuan, who was originally in seclusion, suddenly opened her phoenix eyes, a look of anger appearing on her flawless face.

"Two pieces of trash!"

Empress Xuan parted her cherry lips slightly; the trash she spoke of were naturally Mingcang King and Dark Night King.

Not mentioning how angry Empress Xuan was, for the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng continued to control the Three Talents Lamp to burn the Queen Mother Mirror.

After a long while, it finally stopped.

Both the shattered mirror surface and the mirror body were burned red, and many places even showed signs of melting.

Li Zhangsheng carefully inspected it once, and after confirming that the split soul of Empress Xuan within the shattered Queen Mother Mirror had dissipated and that no hidden traps had been left behind, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a pity, I wonder if it can be repaired?"

Looking at the shattered Queen Mother Mirror, Li Zhangsheng secretly sighed that it was a pity; the Queen Mother Mirror possesses the ability to monitor the world and can be said to be a unique existence in the Fairy World; this ability alone was enough to make Li Zhangsheng feel incredibly tempted.

As for whether it can be repaired, to be honest, Li Zhangsheng did not have much confidence; Strange Treasures with special abilities are harder to repair than ordinary Strange Treasures, just like Li Zhangsheng's Gate of Light and Darkness—when it was advancing to a Langhuan Supreme Treasure, he dared not add other materials for fear of affecting the special effects of the Gate of Light and Darkness.

As a result, the shattered Queen Mother Mirror is more likely to only serve as material.

After all, it is a shattered Langhuan Supreme Treasure, and its material quality is there; with Li Zhangsheng's level of artifact refining, there is a certain probability of refining a Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

After solemnly putting away the fragments of the Queen Mother Mirror, Li Zhangsheng looked at the anxious Mingcang King again.

Li Zhangsheng shrugged and said with feigned helplessness: "Even if you go back now, I'm afraid Empress Xuan won't spare you, hmm, even if you are her descendant!"

Although Mingcang King is the descendant Empress Xuan values most, there are hundreds of Empress Xuan's descendants; to Empress Xuan, the importance of the Queen Mother Mirror is likely above that of Mingcang King, not to mention a half-crippled Mingcang King.

With the fall of two Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, Mingcang King is no longer a Top-tier Double-Character King and can only be called a Senior Double-Character King; Li Zhangsheng remembers that among the many descendants of Empress Xuan, there are still two Senior Double-Character Kings.

With Mingcang King's strength significantly reduced, she is naturally even less valued by Empress Xuan.

"I am willing to submit to you!"

Mingcang King lowered her proud head; she knew very well that with Empress Xuan's exceptionally overbearing personality, she would definitely not have a good outcome after returning.

In order to survive, Mingcang King felt it would be better to follow Li Zhangsheng; after all, based on Li Zhangsheng's current strength alone, he had almost secured the next seat for a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer.

If Li Zhangsheng is allowed to continue growing, Mingcang King even feels that Li Zhangsheng could challenge his superiors and defeat a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer while holding the status of a Double-Character King.

Actually, if one ignores prejudice, Mingcang King feels that following Li Zhangsheng is still very promising.

Looking at the submissive Mingcang King, Li Zhangsheng's eyes flickered a few times; he did not have mind-reading powers and could not judge whether Mingcang King's words were sincere.

If Mingcang King were feigning submission, it would undoubtedly be a big trouble for him.

However, regardless of whether Mingcang King is sincerely submitting, Li Zhangsheng has means of counter-control.

Although he is inferior to the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors in terms of foundation, Li Zhangsheng has, after all, obtained the inheritances of the Hundred Victories King, Qiankun King, Sun True Monarch, and other kings.

Among them, in the inheritance of the Qiankun King, there is a method to prevent subordinates from betraying.

First, one needs to refine a special object called a Curse Spirit.

Second, Mingcang King must not resist and must allow the Curse Spirit to completely merge into her soul crystal.

Once Mingcang King wants to do something detrimental to Li Zhangsheng, the Curse Spirit will instantly self-destruct, and Mingcang King's soul will naturally dissipate.

In addition, the method to remove each Curse Spirit is different and needs to be set by the creator personally.

That is to say, apart from the creator, the Curse Spirit is, to a certain extent, unsolvable.

The refining of the Curse Spirit seems relatively troublesome, but it is not difficult for Li Zhangsheng, and he has the materials on hand.

"Mingcang King, you also know that this seat cannot fully trust you, so..."

Li Zhangsheng laid out the effects of the Curse Spirit, which made Mingcang King's complexion look very bad; anyone would be like this if a bomb were installed in their soul.

"However, you can rest assured; as long as you loyally serve this seat for ten years, this seat will remove the Curse Spirit."

In terms of the lifespan of a Double-Character King, ten years is really short; the reason Li Zhangsheng said this is mainly because he has great confidence in himself.

Ten years is enough for him to become a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer.

Even if no Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer falls during this period, he has the confidence to make one of them 'abdicate and yield the position'.

Hearing Li Zhangsheng say this, Mingcang King breathed a sigh of relief and naturally agreed.

In just a quarter of an hour, the Curse Spirit was refined; Mingcang King fully opened her mind and allowed the Curse Spirit to merge into her soul crystal.
