Would he let Ouyang Chan and company off?
Su Jingxing was also a little hesitant about this question.
From their earlier performance, Ouyang Chan and the company were indeed different from the other members of Gourmand.
Ouyang Chan didn’t lie when he recounted the history of Gourmand either.
But.
However, Gourmand had been notorious for so many years. No one could guarantee that they were really innocent.
Perhaps one or two of them had indeed never harmed their compatriots, but what about the others?
Who could guarantee that?
Su Jingxing would not indiscriminately kill the innocent, but for some things, he would rather kill the wrong people than let the culprits go.
Ouyang Chan and company were too dangerous. Unless he had surveillance methods, they would be a time bomb once released. No one knew when they would explode.
Su Jingxing did not have ordinary surveillance methods——poisons, Gu worms, or invasion of Martial Art True Intent.
But he had the Nine Souls Ring!
The soul imprint of the Nine Souls Ring also had the ability to monitor, lock, and explode.
Once Ouyang Chan and company committed a crime, Su Jingxing could sense them at any time. He could detonate them from a miles away and burn their souls.
The Nine Souls Ring contained souls!
At this thought, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul released the Nine Souls Ring.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
First, there was one fiery red light orb, then it quickly split into nine.
The nine rings danced in the air and turned illusory, entering the brains of Ouyang Chan and company
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In a field of vision that could not be seen with the naked eye, the Nine Souls Ring had wrapped around the souls of the dozen people, leaving a fiery red soul imprint on each of them.
During this process, Ouyang Chan and company felt a sharp pain in their heads and their bodies burned.
Although the pain and heat quickly disappeared, everyone could sense that they were being watched closely by an invisible vision.
The faint soul connection could not be discovered unless one sensed it carefully.
Even though they didn’t know what it was, everyone, including Ouyang Chan, knew that they had been targeted.
Resentment, indignation, grievance…
Ultimately turned into a sigh.
So be it. It was better than dying.
It was already good enough that Su Jingxing didn’t kill them and only left a mark on them.
“Thank you, Martial Sage!”
After some self-comfort, Ouyang Chan took the lead and thanked Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul ignored him and put away the Nine Souls Ring, retracting the might of a Martial Sage.
The bronze pot in the center of the altar was most likely also a treasure, but its function was probably similar to the Dragon Melting Cauldron.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul studied it for a while. After confirming that there was nothing outstanding, he directly opened Sword Eyes and split it into four pieces.
Ouyang Chan and company, who had regained their freedom, opened their mouths but obediently closed them in the end.
The dozen or so people dispersed and helped Lu Wuchang and the others regain their freedom.
All of them cultivated the Pulse Sealing Mantra. They could either seal or break it.
Su Jingxing could have helped, but with Ouyang Chan and company around, it didn’t matter whether he did or not.
In comparison, the hundred-meter-tall stone pillar was more attractive.
The light barrier propped up by this stone pillar could contend against the divine weapon, the Wandering Dragon Saber. It was definitely a treasure among treasures.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul came close and sensed the stone pillar with his soul power. Through the invisible energy membrane, he discovered that it contained complicated and mysterious patterns, two of which were especially profound.
To fully control it, Su Jingxing silently calculated that he had to be at least be in the ninth class of Void Soul.
Previously, the three people from Gourmand, Silver Mask, Bronze Mask, and Golden Mask, had only mobilized the abilities on the surface of the stone pillar.
Now, Su Jingxing could break through the surface and go deeper into the center.
As for reaching the core, he couldn’t do that yet.
However, this was enough. He activated the Divine Spirit Control Technique and expended his soul power. Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul, who was wearing the Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, pressed down on the stone pillar with both hands.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The stone pillar that had been as stable as a mountain suddenly shook.
The intense tremor shook the altar below as well.
Ouyang Chan, Lu Wuchang, and the others hurriedly escaped from the altar and burrowed into the forest.
After everyone left, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul increased the infusion of soul power. Finally, in the next moment, it temporarily drew in the stone pillar and controlled it in its palm.
Splash!
The moment the stone pillar was drawn in, its height of a hundred meters quickly shrank, and the stones on the outer shell peeled off inch by inch.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into an iron rod that was about two meters long. Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul happened to be holding it in its hand.
It was also at this moment that Su Jingxing learned its name.
The Heaven Sealing Staff.
An ancient spirit weapon nurtured by nature!
It had the powerful ability to isolate space, form its own small world, and seal off an area.
Su Jingxing didn’t know if anyone in the history Gourmand had completely controlled it.
He only knew that from now on, this Heaven Sealing Staff belonged to him.
Even though he couldn’t control it yet, he left his mental imprint on it,
Hu!
With the Heaven Sealing Staff in hand, he swept through the air, creating ripples.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul swung the Heaven Sealing Staff and smashed it onto the altar.
Crack!
The altar shook and a few cracks appeared.
Boom!
The second strike smashed down, and cracks covered the altar.
Boom!
With the third strike, the altar disintegrated into countless pieces.
Hu hu hu~
He swung the Heaven Sealing Staff, producing an incomparably sharp astral winds that swept through all the corpses of the dead members of Gourmand.
He stirred up the corpses one by one and turn them into dregs, completely destroying any future trouble of them becoming Corpse Puppets.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul then put away the Heaven Sealing Staff and soared into the sky, returning to the Void World.
“Gone… gone?”
In the forest, Lu Wuchang, who was looking at the sky, blinked hard and sighed. “As expected of a Martial Sage. How handsome.”
