Chapter 564: Another Soul

Nine Devil Bow!

This bow, belonging to Jiang Yun from the Qing-zhu Desolate World Daoist clan Chang family, was finally held by Jiang Yun for the first time.

Since Jiang Yun had decided to kill the Sea clan as revenge for the blood debt owed to the Seeking-Tao Sect, there was no way he would let Hai Qingshan escape.

Now, he was going to test the power of this bow.

The bow was half the height of a person, made of unknown material with a smooth, black surface like a mirror, without any decoration. Holding it, one could feel its weight.

Although the bow was only half a person tall, it weighed a lot. Only with Jiang Yun’s mighty strength could he lift it with one hand.

Next, a black arrow appeared in Jiang Yun’s hand, gently placed on the bowstring.

The Nine Devil Arrows, only nine in total, each named after a devil, increasing in power. Jiang Yun had chosen the weakest of them all.

Jiang Yun was familiar with bows and arrows, as they were commonly used weapons in the Mang Mountains, where he lived.

Even though many years have passed without use, holding the bow in his hand at this moment immediately brought back the feelings he had in the beginning.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound like metal clashing, Jiang Yun easily pulled the bowstring to its full length, aimed at the almost invisible figure of Hai Qingshan, and released an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow turned into a black light, flashing past Jiang Yun’s eyes, disappearing into thin air.

Jiang Yun put away his bow without confirming whether the arrow hit its target, instead, he turned to the woman and asked, "Can you sense the Sea clan talent within me?"

Initially, Jiang Yun absorbed the Sea clan talent from Xue Qing, but due to having too many demon race talents in his body, the Sea clan talent could not merge properly, causing backlash several times.

Thanks to his master Gu Bulao’s intervention, the Sea clan talent was sealed, and the unsealing method was taught to Jiang Yun, who had yet to unseal it.

Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him could sense it.

The woman’s gaze slowly returned from where the arrow was shot, she sighed softly and nodded, saying, "I can feel it, and this talent seems to be sealed by an external force."

Jiang Yun stayed silent, staring straight at the other person, then spoke after a moment, "You don’t seem afraid!"

The woman also looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "Why should I be afraid?"

"Because I’m going to kill you!"

"So, if I’m afraid, you won’t kill me?"

"That’s right!"

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "I have no grudge against you. Originally, I shouldn’t kill you. But unfortunately, you are from the Sea clan. Your group killed my fellow disciples, took over my sect, and killed many of my people. Therefore, I must kill you!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun raised his hand, but his palm hung in the air.

Despite speaking the truth, he hesitated to harm the woman in front of him.

The woman suddenly laughed and asked, "What use is the life fire you absorbed just now?"

This sentence once again shook Jiang Yun’s heart.

After killing the nearly hundred Sea clan just now, he indeed absorbed their life fire with the Flameless Puppet Lantern.

Because the life fire inside the Flameless Puppet Lantern had never been replenished, and now he had to save the Seeking-Tao Sect and confront the three major forces, so he had to be as prepared as possible.

However, very few people, whether from the human race or the demon race, could see this life fire, but this woman could see it!

But before Jiang Yun could speak, the woman continued, "By the way, I can also see several Tao Seal imprints on your body!"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, his expression calming down as he asked, "Who are you exactly?"

Apart from extremely powerful individuals like Blood Robe who could discover the secrets on his body, until now, no one else had been able to know.

However, this woman repeatedly uncovered his secrets, which made Jiang Yun curious.

"My name is Hai Yixue, the sea of the sea, memories of memories, snow of snow!"

Sea, memories, snow!

This name made Jiang Yun’s heart skip a beat.

He unconsciously looked up at the dark, rainy sky filled with clouds.

Because he thought of another woman, a woman who, when she saw snow and sunny weather, could remember herself – Xue Qing!

Even though the Mountain-Sea World hadn’t seen sunny weather in a long time, Jiang Yun thought of Xue Qing, unsure of her whereabouts and well-being, because of Hai Yixue’s name.

After a moment, he looked at the sky and calmly said, "Leave, today I won’t kill you, but I hope we never meet again!"

Hai Yixue blinked her eyes and said, "Did my name make you change your mind?"

Jiang Yun said lightly, "If you don’t leave, my mind might change again."

"Alright, I’m leaving, but before I go, I have to tell you something. In addition to the seal on you and the Sea clan talent, I also saw another soul inside you!"

"It’s a soul that looks very similar to you, but with longer hair and a more aged appearance than you!"

"What did you say!"

Jiang Yun suddenly looked back and gazed at Hai Yixue in front of him.

But at this moment, a sudden blue mist rose around Hai Yixue, wrapping her completely.

"Explain yourself before you leave!"

Jiang Yun quickly reached out towards the mist, touching Hai Yixue’s body with his hand, but it felt empty. Hai Yixue in front of him seemed tangible yet intangible.

Naturally, this was because Hai Yixue used a teleportation-like spell.

Hai Yixue blinked at Jiang Yun and said, "If we can meet again next time, maybe I will tell you more then!"

"Bang!"

As she finished speaking, a blue mist exploded around her, including her body, turning into countless water droplets that disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Yun stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the spot where Hai Yixue had vanished, like a statue.

If Hai Yixue had only seen a soul inside herself, he wouldn’t be too surprised because within the Flameless Puppet Lantern, there really was a soul-like figure named Su Yang.

But Hai Yixue described the appearance of that soul, and it was exactly like the one she had seen in her dream sitting on a square black stone – herself.

"What is going on? Is what she said true or false? Are there two souls inside me? Who is that soul? And who am I?"

While Jiang Yun had many doubts, never had one felt as shocking and impactful as this one.

Until a black light with a roaring sound suddenly appeared in front of him, which startled him awake.

It was an arrow, and its tip was slowly seeping red into the shaft.

Clearly, a swift arrow successfully killed Hai Qingshan.

Retrieving the arrow from his body, Jiang Yun closed his eyes, and after a moment, reopened them, with his eyes now calm as before.

After glancing once more in the direction of Boundary Sea in the distance, Jiang Yun finally turned around, speeding off towards Nanshan Province.

In just half a day, Jiang Yun came across a city ahead, with six teleportation arrays located in the center of the city!
