“I’m very curious. Does your remnant soul have self-awareness? Wouldn’t that be very troublesome? After all, think about it. You might have been divided into a few or more than ten portions. When that time comes, whose consciousness will be the dominant one? If no one is willing to submit to the other, wouldn’t it be very difficult for all of you to unite?”
In Wailing Mountain, with his figure hidden, Victor was not far away from the Xiao family members.
He had been here for an hour. However, for some reason, the Xiao family and Gongye Yuyu did not make any big moves. They had only sent people for investigation and Victor did not know what they were up to.
“It’s hard to say. After all, I can’t guarantee what their personalities are like when a complete person breaks down into dozens of remnant souls. However, you should feel lucky that my greatest kindness is in your body. Otherwise, with your talent, you will most likely be possessed by me.”
The mountain spirit’s casual reply made Victor break out in a cold sweat.
“Are you sure? If that’s the case, I’ll turn around and leave now.”
Victor did not want to, nor did he dare to gamble with the remnant souls. After all, the latter had already lived for a thousand years and might have some secret possession technique. Victor was not willing to risk his life.
“No, no, no. You misunderstood me. Right now, I’m living in your body. To me, this is a mutually beneficial thing. Therefore, I don’t want to see other remnant souls possess you. After all, it has a high possibility of attracting others’ attention. Therefore, even if you find the other remnant souls, I won’t have to worry about them possessing you.”
“Are you… sure? If one day, you have a reason to possess me, or if you suddenly change your mind, wouldn’t I be in danger?”
“Yeah… It is indeed possible.”
Seeing that the remnant soul did not deny it, Victor could not help but swallow his saliva.
If one day, he was really possessed, then what should he do? Could he compete with this old monster that had lived for a thousand years?
Victor did not have the confidence.
As his thoughts surged, some changes happened to Gongye Yuyu and the others.
“Lord Gongye Yuyu, how long do you plan to drag this on?”
“Xiao family’s heir, don’t be so impatient. You have to eat one mouthful at a time, and you have to do things step by step. Now, the heart of Wailing Mountain has already been occupied by the remnant soul. Who can guarantee that he did not set up any traps for us?”
“But two hours have passed, and 13 batches of vanguards have been sent out. Are you still not satisfied?”
“Xiao family’s heir, what do you mean by this? Are you telling me that, the person who needs this remnant soul to advance to the nascent soul realm is me? If you’ve decided to set off directly, I naturally have nothing to say. However, Xiao family’s heir, if anything happens, I have the right to represent the Central Plains Sect Alliance and tear up the agreement with you.”
Gongye Yuyu looked at the ashen-faced Xiao Chenggan and could not help but let out a cold smile.
Just this? The Xiao family’s future heir? This was simply too ridiculous.
Usually, he pretended to be gentle and refined, modest and gentlemanly, but in the end, he was still a rash person. He probably would not become a great figure.
However, Gongye Yuyu naturally did not say these words. He just quietly waited for the Wind Moon Altar’s battle generals to enter Wailing Mountain together with the Xiao family.
Seeing this scene, Victor secretly followed behind.
However, as Gongye Yuyu had expected, an accident happened not long after they left.
An elder of the Xiao family accidentally stepped into a trap and his soul was forcefully pulled out. He died on the spot!
“Tsk tsk tsk, what a tragic death.”
Gongye Yuyu only shot a glance at him before turning his head. On the other hand, Xiao Chenggan’s expression became even uglier.
“Lord Gongye Yuyu, please send someone to scout the path in front of the group.”
“Why don’t you send your people?”
“The group accompanying us are all the elites of the Xiao family. We can’t afford to suffer such losses. Moreover, since the Central Plains Sect Alliance wants to establish a Dao in the Northern Plains, shouldn’t they make some sacrifices?”
Xiao Chenggan questioned Gongye Yuyu sternly. His attitude became worse. Gongye Yuyu did not pamper him in the slightest.
“Young Master Xiao, aren’t you thinking a little too highly of your Xiao family’s position in this matter? To put it bluntly, whether the Central Plains Sect Alliance can succeed in establishing the Dao depends on whether our disciples can successfully break through the hurdles set up by the Great Snow Mountain. First of all, you won’t be contributing. Second of all, you won’t reduce the difficulty of the hurdles. This is nothing more than a matter of reputation. I believe that if I send this remnant soul to the Western Plains’ Dynasty, they will gladly help us do this. Young Master Xiao, what do you think?”
A smile appeared on Gongye Yuyu’s face, but no one could sense the slightest hint of sincerity from him.
“Gongye Yuyu, fine. I have long heard of your great name. Before I came here, my father also warned me that it was best not to have any bad blood with you. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. Forget it. Disciples of the Xiao family, go ahead and scout the way!”
Xiao Chenggan also knew the truth of what Gongye Yuyu had said, and he did not want to miss this opportunity to advance to the nascent soul realm. Therefore, he could only choose to compromise and make the necessary sacrifices.
As they went deeper and deeper, the Xiao family finally reached the depths of Wailing Mountain after nearly ten people were killed or injured.
“Young master, there are no less than 15 array formations ahead. Forcibly breaking through is nothing more than a pipe dream.”
At the right time, the spy came to report the situation ahead.
Hearing this, Xiao Chenggan turned his head to look at Gongye Yuyu.
Xiao Chenggan was quite familiar with this famous core formation realm cultivator. He had terrifying talent, extraordinary combat strength, and ghost-like intelligence, but the most famous thing in the world was his will when he formed the core.
Breaking arrays!
“Don’t worry, Young Master Xiao. You don’t have to tell me. I will naturally take action. We are allies after all.” Gongye Yuyu chuckled and took large strides forward, stepping into the array.
Not far away, Victor, who had witnessed all of this, could not help but frown.
“What were the array formations you’ve mastered when you were alive?”
“Hehe, there are too many. There are at least a thousand of them. Of course, more than half of the array formations can’t be used. They require their own materials in a specific environment.
“In such an environment, the materials are so scarce. If it were me, I would only set up these 15 arrays.”
The mountain spirit informed Victor of the types of arrays, their characteristics, and their weaknesses one by one. He then transmitted his voice to Gongye Yuyu.
Although he did not have any doubts about Gongye Yuyu’s ability. However, the remnant soul was at the tribulation transcending realm when it was alive after all. Even if his will was to break arrays, it was inevitable that he would make a mistake. To Victor, it would also be a loss.
Through this, a layer of protection had undoubtedly been added for Gongye Yuyu.
Of course, Gongye Yuyu did not need it.
Before Victor had told Gongye Yuyu about the types of arrays and their weaknesses, in less than 15 minutes, almost half of the 15 arrays had been broken by Gongye Yuyu. This ability of his was indeed astonishing.
