Chapter 1410: Understood

"Understood." The two nodded.

After the two left, both wore expressions heavy with suspicion.

"Li Yunshan suddenly turning against us to attack is definitely not a good thing for us," Yun Zhitian said. "What do you think?"

"I think it is not a good thing either," Yun Qing said. "The urgent matter at hand is that we must make preparations; otherwise, what awaits us will not be anything good."

Modu, at the peak of a Lone Peak.

Chen Yu and Li Yunshan were on the Lone Peak, and on the open ground of the peak, a Great Array had already been set up, with countless Ancient Divine Script inscribed upon the Array.

Furthermore, several Spirit Stones had already been placed outside the Array Base, and Li Yunshan was positioned within the Array.

"Senior, you know what this Array is used for, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"Five Souls Array..." Li Yunshan nodded and said, "Soul extraction—it means the person in the Array will have their soul forcibly extracted. If there is the slightest carelessness, one will be doomed eternally. You are using this method to remove the Ancient Divine Script Imprint on my body?"

"Correct," Chen Yu nodded and said, "The Ancient Divine Script on your body was directly channeled by Qingsong into your soul using Mental Power; it is equivalent to being deeply branded into the depths of your soul."

"So, if you want to completely eliminate these Divine Script, you must use this method, but soul extraction is extremely painful. That feeling is no different from descending into the eighteen levels of Hell."

"Moreover, if there is the slightest carelessness, your soul will suffer heavy damage, and what you will face then will be the outcome of your soul scattering. I just don't know if you, Senior, dare to try it?" Chen Yu said.

"Haha, what is there not to dare? As long as I can strip away those Divine Script, as long as I can kill my way back to Yunluju, what does it matter if my soul is stripped away? Even if there is only a one-in-ten-thousand chance of success, I must try. Even if my soul scatters, I will not regret it."

Li Yunshan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, it is better than letting Qingsong lock me up and humiliate me, so go ahead and do it. At worst, I die."

"Thank you for your trust, but please rest assured, Senior," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I have set up a Soul Gathering Array on the side. This is a precautionary measure. Even if it truly fails, it will not let your soul scatter; it can allow your Soul Consciousness to be preserved and choose a new body to be reborn."

"Good lad, I knew I didn't misjudge you. Your methods are indeed many," Li Yunshan laughed heartily. He closed his eyes and said, "Come..."

Just at this moment, Liu Ruxi also slowly arrived at the mountain peak. Seeing this Array, she could not help but sigh: "Is there no other choice?"

"There is none. This is the only way," Chen Yu shook his head. "Although this Array is painful and one must endure the agony of soul extraction, at least it can allow this Senior to gain freedom."

"Gain freedom..." Liu Ruxi nodded. "I know the pain of being controlled by others, so I will guard for you on the side, using Buddha power to maintain the Great Array and try my best to keep the Soul Consciousness from dispersing. So, rest assured."

"Haha, good, thank you, Miss Liu," Li Yunshan nodded and said. "With both of you taking action at the same time, I have nothing to fear. Go ahead."

"Are you ready?" Chen Yu glanced at Liu Ruxi.

"Ready." Liu Ruxi slowly sat cross-legged, her hands forming a Buddha Seal. A Green Lotus emerged from her palms, and the Green Lotus suddenly enlarged, forming a huge phantom that covered the Great Array along with Li Yunshan inside it.

Chen Yu took a deep breath, pointed his hands forward, and Primordial Qi suddenly surged out.

With a hum, the Great Array activated, and several rays of light were seen surging out from the Array Base, striking Li Yunshan's body.

Li Yunshan suddenly opened his eyes, and he let out a hiss.

A semi-transparent figure was seen slowly appearing from his body; his soul was being forcibly stripped away by the Great Array.

If it were an ordinary person, Chen Yu could strip away the other party's soul with a casual wave, but Li Yunshan was different; he was a Dharma Cultivator with powerful strength, so Chen Yu had to rely on this Great Array to strip his soul out.

The pain caused during this period was not something an ordinary person could endure, but Li Yunshan gritted his teeth and held on through it.

Suddenly, the semi-transparent figure flashed and was forcibly stripped out of his body.

Li Yunshan's soul floated above the Array Base, looking at everything around him with a somewhat dazed expression.

Chen Yu changed his hand seals and pointed forward again. A stream of Primordial Qi was seen surrounding Li Yunshan's soul, and then Chen Yu gave a deep shout and separated his hands.

Li Yunshan's soul let out a silent roar, struggling and bellowing in mid-air. The Divine Script branded on his soul surfaced one by one, rotating around his soul.

These Ancient Divine Script Imprints were forcibly branded onto the soul using Mental Power, so it was not easy to strip them away.

Chen Yu set up the Array to extract Li Yunshan's soul from his body, and only then did he slowly strip away these Divine Script Imprints. His movements were gentle and cautious; every movement was extremely light, fearing the slightest mishap.

If there were even the slightest mistake, Li Yunshan's soul would vanish into thin air.

Even with the blessing of Liu Ruxi's Green Lotus Array, the final price paid was extremely great, so Chen Yu was cautious and dared not let any mishap occur.

In a flash, more than half a day passed. These Divine Script disappeared one after another, and only Li Yunshan's soul remained in mid-air. By this time, the Divine Script Imprints attached to his soul had completely vanished.

"Return to position." Chen Yu flipped his hands again and attacked with a hand seal. Li Yunshan's soul was seen slowly returning to its position, merging into one with his body.

The light before them slowly disappeared. Until now, Li Yunshan had finally stripped away the Divine Script Imprints on his body, and he had returned to freedom.

"I am free, hahaha, I am finally free," Li Yunshan laughed loudly. "Qingsong, you old scoundrel, wait until I kill my way back to Yunluju to settle the old scores with you."

"Congratulations, Senior," Chen Yu cupped his fists toward Li Yunshan. "Having regained your freedom, you will never have to be bound by Qingsong again."

"I still have to thank you properly. If it weren't for you, I could not have resolved the Divine Script Imprints on myself so quickly," Li Yunshan bowed deeply to Chen Yu. "Truly, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front. Your strength is actually far superior to mine."

"Strength or not doesn't matter; the main thing is being able to help you, Senior, escape your predicament," Chen Yu smiled. "Besides, Senior, do you feel that we now have a common goal?"

"Yes, of course I do," Li Yunshan laughed. "Our common goal is Qingsong. I know you belong to Dragon Breath, and over these years, Qingsong's reach has grown longer and longer, which has long since aroused the dissatisfaction of Dragon Breath."
