Chapter 173 The defense is broken again!
Situ Yuner took a long time to relax, and her legs finally regained strength. She continued to walk firmly to the side of the soul-calling flag, tried to pull it out with her hand, but found that she couldn't pull it out at all.
He refused to give in and tried to pull it out with all his might, but he couldn't.
Chu You's real body began to ask for help from the live broadcast room:
"Fellow Daoists of the Universal Jade Slip Circle, the Soul Summoning Banner is clearly embedded in the soil, but I can't pull it out no matter what I do. What can I do?"
Fellow Daoist No. 1: "Has this spirit-calling banner already recognized its master? Only the master can pull it out?"
Chu You: "How can we be sure that this soul-summoning banner has recognized its master?"
Fellow Daoist No. 2: "It definitely hasn't recognized its master. The Soul Summoning Banner is different from other magical or spiritual tools. Once they recognize their master, they only allow their owner to touch them. No one else can get close to them!"
That's it!
Chu You returned to the first question:
"How do I pull it out? Or, how do I stop it from absorbing souls?"
Fellow Daoist No. 3: "Why don't you let that young boy recognize his master first?"
Recognize the master?
The soul-summoning flag is no different from other magical or spiritual weapons. Chu You doesn't dare to take the lead in controlling it.
The enthusiastic Taoist friends began to discuss:
"Why not try dripping blood? Most spiritual weapons are like this!"
"No, no! The soul-summoning flag can absorb souls. What if it absorbs the soul into the bloodstream?"
"What's wrong? I've never heard of how to contract a spirit-summoning banner. Why don't we try praying and see if we can resonate with it?"
"Otherwise, why don't you shower and change first as a sign of respect?"
"Or, why not just become a Taoist couple and worship heaven and earth?"
……
Seeing that the suggestions were becoming more and more outrageous, Chu You was also getting overwhelmed.
Even more troubled than her was Sect Master Li, who was far away in the Shangshan Sect. Seeing Situ Yun'er about to contract the Soul Summoning Banner, he was so anxious that he kept sending video calls to the black shadow. He didn't know how many times he called before the other party finally answered, and he was still full of resentment:
"I'm on my way, are you trying to kill me and summon my soul? I'm going to fight you endlessly!"
"Why did you take it so late? I told you not to leave the spirit-summoning flag alone, but you wouldn't listen. Now it's almost been contracted away by someone else!"
"Impossible!" The black shadow scoffed. "That soul-summoning banner is not an ordinary soul-summoning banner. It's called the 'Netherworld Soul-Guiding Banner'. The person who contracts it must not only have a completely yin body, but also be a person of utmost compassion, kindness, and sincerity. Ordinary people simply cannot form a contract with it. If they force a contract, they will be drained of their essence and blood and die.
The soul will be collected and led into the underworld!"
This is the reason why the black shadow has never dared to contract the "Netherworld Soul-Guiding Banner".
Sect Master Li was so angry that he had a heart attack:
"You can't even sign a contract, so what's the point of this thing? It could also expose the secrets of Galaxy Bay. If the Lord asks about it, you'll have to take at least half the blame!"
"What do you know? A rare magical instrument like the 'Netherworld Spirit-Guiding Banner' may be upgraded to an immortal instrument or even a divine instrument in the future. Even if it can't be contracted, it must be carefully nurtured and carried around to avoid being attacked by it!
One day, I might find the way to make a contract.
As for whether the Galaxy Bay incident will be exposed, don't argue with me. It's clearly your own fault that Chu You and others found out about it! Don't even think about putting the blame on me! "
The shadow was extremely impatient and sober. Just as he was about to hang up the jade slip, Sect Master Li on the other end exclaimed:
"Oh no! I've been contracted by that boy!"
The black shadow wanted to deny it, but Sect Master Li directly showed him the live broadcast of another jade slip. The black fog around the other party was thicker and the resentment was deep. He hung up the jade slip without saying a word.
Sect Leader Li stared at the live broadcast screen with a dark look in his eyes. He pondered for a long time and then opened the secret room that he had not opened for many years.
Anyone familiar with Sect Master Li would be puzzled and exclaim when seeing this:
Sect Leader Li is a spiritual practitioner, so why is his secret room filled with all kinds of spiritual weapons and magical instruments, all made by him!
That is, he sealed Zhu Yan's top-grade spiritual roots and intercepted and stole his talent for weapon cultivation!
……
In the live broadcast room, Chu You only proposed a few possible ways to contract the "Underworld Soul-Guiding Banner". Before he could decide which one to use, Situ Yuner simply cut her finger and dripped pink mermaid blood on the banner.
It was too late for Chu You to stop him, so she nervously ran to his side and stared at him.
The phenomenon of backlash and bloodsucking did not occur. The drop of blood fell on the "Netherworld Soul-Guiding Banner" and flashed for a moment before being drawn into it. The entire banner emitted bursts of faint pink light.
"Are you... feeling unwell?"
Chu You circled around him a few times. He shook his head, then nodded, leaving Chu You bewildered.
"Is there any?"
Situ Yuner frowned and pointed at her fingertips which were still bleeding:
“It hurts a little!”
Chu You: “…”
The word "MMP" was on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back and took a deep breath to adjust her mood:
"Try to pull it out now and stop it from absorbing souls."
Situ Yuner was extremely frightened. She looked at Chu You and said cautiously:
"Could you please come closer?"
Chu You: “???”
Situ Yuner: "That's right, come closer to me and help me pick it up."
Chu You: “…”
Whatever happens, it's like taking care of a half-grown baby!
But she still did it, and Situ Yuner instantly overcame the fear barrier, but the moment he picked up the "Netherworld Soul-Guiding Banner", a large piece of inheritance flooded into his mind.
It didn't hurt or itch, but it made the little mermaid, who had never seen the world, feel helpless and terrified.
Chu You quickly comforted:
"Don't be afraid, this is inheritance!
Many magical or spiritual tools that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years are spiritual and will pass on the techniques used, the experiences of previous users, etc. to the next user.
Just relax and accept it, it won’t hurt you.”
Strangely enough, Chu You's voice was far from gentle, but it made Situ Yuner feel particularly at ease.
In just a moment, he calmed down and for the first time he meditated and regulated his breathing so seriously to absorb the inheritance.
Chu You stood by silently.
Compared to the tranquility inside the barrier, the situation outside the barrier is in turmoil.
Because the black shadow had arrived at the scene and wanted to rush into the barrier to stop it, but was intercepted outside by Chu You's real body, Ji Chen and others, and a fight broke out.
This person's cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he overwhelmingly defeated them at first.
The situation did not begin to reverse until Ji Chen and Chu You took out the couple's swords "Su Po" and "Ling Xi".
The live broadcast room has gone from initial worry and tension to current excitement:
"Ahhhhhh! I actually saw a true evil cultivator watching the live broadcast, the 'Chen You couple'. Charge! Capture him! Kill him! Beat him to death!"
"Ji Chen is so handsome that it makes my face bleed! Woohoo! It's a pity that he married young! But the person he married early is me, You, so I can still accept it with some pain!"
"Is Ji Chen the only one who's handsome? Am I not handsome too? Look at that smooth swordplay, their coordination is so natural, they're still the best couple!"
"Wait! Isn't Chu You a spiritual practitioner? Why does she know swordsmanship?"
"Have you forgotten that her physical cultivation also broke through to the Golden Core stage?"
"But it's only been a short time. I'm also a swordsman. Her swordsmanship couldn't be mastered without more than ten or twenty years of hard practice!"
"Could it be that she is practicing 'Dual Cultivation of Sword and Spirit'?!"
Realizing this, the monks collectively broke down again!
