Chapter 1588: Chapter 1224: Two Illusion Souls! Recovery!

Note: If you don’t possess super strong power, absorbing the Illusion Soul is highly likely to cause your body to explode and perish."

"What a treasure!"

Jiang Dali’s eyes lit up slightly, and his slightly downcast mood became somewhat uplifted.

After devouring this Illusion Soul, one can directly possess the complete Destructive Demon Body and Heaven Shifting Divine Technique. Although for him, even with these two full powers, it wouldn’t greatly enhance his combat strength. However, even if he were to impart these two Illusion Souls into the bodies of his brothers and friends nearby, it could enhance their power, quickly elevate their combat abilities, and provide him support in future battles.

Thus, the value of these two Illusion Souls is comparable to the Eight Dragon Balls and is considered a strategic weapon of the treasure level that a major force cannot lack.

"Boom!—"

Just at this moment, the collapsed passage entrance on the other side was completely smashed open.

Silhouettes darted out one after another.

At the sight of Jiang Dali, holding a white and a red ball of Illusion Soul in the darkness, their expressions changed slightly.

"Only the Black Wind Village Chief is left."

"Not good, let’s go!"

"Is that... an Illusion Soul?"

"Master! Master’s aura, it’s disappeared?"

The silhouettes all reacted differently the moment they appeared.

Among them, the Ice Emperor and Luo Xian, seeing Jiang Dali but not seeing Shakyamuni, looked bad and immediately planned to retreat, quite shocked in their hearts. They never expected that Shakyamuni was no longer present, and at this moment, only the Black Wind Village Chief was left on the battlefield, which was completely beyond their expectations.

Meanwhile, the Divine Walk Grand Protector’s gaze first fell on the two balls of Illusion Soul in Jiang Dali’s hands, and his expression immediately became excited and greedy, nearly unable to resist the impulse to rush out and grab them.

The remaining Hei Tong and Xue Damo, dressed in black and white respectively, noticing Bai Suzhen’s aura had disappeared, were instantly terrified and swiftly charged forward, questioning Jiang Dali.

"Black Wind Village Chief! Where is our master?"

"Why has her aura disappeared?"

Jiang Dali glanced at the two who were rushing over aggressively, sighed and shook his head, pointing to the ground fissure leading to the underground ice river, "Your master likely encountered misfortune, but I haven’t found her body yet. Perhaps... if she’s not dead, she might have fallen into the ice river."

"What?"

Xue Damo and Hei Tong’s expressions changed drastically and, without hesitation, leapt into the fissure to search for Bai Suzhen.

"These two... truly loyal to Bai Suzhen, but unfortunately..."

Jiang Dali showed slight emotion and, suddenly attuned to something, burst into a rapid charge toward the passage amidst a cloud of dust.

"You two, planning to leave after arriving!?"

The Ice Emperor and Luo Xian’s expressions changed significantly, attempting to split up and escape, but at this moment, swishing sounds from all directions enveloped them, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded.

"Divine Walk Grand Protector, what do you mean?"

The Ice Emperor glared angrily at the Divine Walk Grand Protector blocking his way, his heart sinking rapidly.

The Divine Walk Grand Protector crossed his arms and let out a cold sneer, "The wise man adapts to circumstances, don’t you understand what the situation is now?"

Luo Xian, cold-faced, replied, "I never thought you’d be a fair-weather friend, Divine Walk Grand Protector. The Undying God might not be dead yet, but you’ve already shifted allegiance."

The Divine Walk Grand Protector snorted coldly, "He’s lost even the Illusion Soul, of course, he’s dead. Stop spouting nonsense! I was never loyal to him anyway. If it weren’t for him sealing my Qi Gate, preventing my Divine Heaven Extreme from achieving perfection, would I have willingly followed his orders?"

Having said that, the Divine Walk Grand Protector looked abruptly at Jiang Dali blocking the rear, eyes fixed on the two Illusion Souls in his hands, clasped his fists, and laughed, "Black Wind Village Chief! I once had no choice, but now, since you’ve killed the Undying God and obtained his Illusion Souls, I’m willing to serve you. Just hand me the Illusion Soul representing the Heaven Shifting Divine Technique, and I’ll devote myself to serving Black Wind Village! How about it?"

At these words, the former allies surrounding them, including Nie Renwang and Zhu Wushi, couldn’t help but look at Jiang Dali.

The strength of the Divine Walk Grand Protector was visible to all, indeed one of the top-tier experts.

Moreover, Returning to Truth Realm experts in the vassal states are extremely rare; if the Divine Walk Grand Protector were to join the Black Wind Village, then Black Wind Village’s power among top experts would indeed become extraordinarily strong. This is a temptation no ruler could refuse.

"Hmph! You think I should just give it to you?"

Jiang Dali smiled indifferently, disregarding the Divine Walk Grand Protector’s suddenly unpleasant expression, and said coldly, "You are arrogant and unwilling to be subordinate to others. Today you betray the Undying God; tomorrow you could betray my Black Wind Village. Why should I, the Village Chief, take you in?"

"You!!....."

The Divine Walk Grand Protector glared angrily, teeth grinding loudly, and a reckless impulse stirred within him, contemplating Jiang Dali’s injuries, and calculating his chances if he struck.

"Hahaha—Black Wind Village Chief truly lives up to the name! I once pledged allegiance to you, Ice Emperor, and it was my good fortune."

The Ice Emperor laughed heartily, suddenly turning to Jiang Dali, his eyes gleaming with solemnity, "Village Chief! In this predicament, I won’t escape but am willing to surrender, begging for leniency in your judgment."

"Whether leniency is granted depends on your performance, Ice Emperor."

Jiang Dali chuckled coldly, shifting his gaze from the Ice Emperor to Luo Xian’s face, his eyes shining with intensity.

Luo Xian exclaimed inwardly ’Oh no!’, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat, lowering his head in silent turmoil.

"It seems you still have loyalty to Shakyamuni, but now that you’re in the hands of the Village Chief, forget about preserving your integrity and pride."

Jiang Dali folded his hands behind his back, saying coldly, "Now I give you two choices: surrender to me, and join the Ice Emperor in taking me to the Heavenly Gate. Or face certain death!"

Luo Xian furrowed his brow, aware that his wildly beating heart couldn’t hide from Jiang Dali’s ears. With a sigh, he replied coldly, "It seems I have no choice. But even if I agree to take you to the Heavenly Gate, you might not be able to handle the Divine Sovereign; surely, you’ve just experienced his might."

Her words had barely left her mouth when a woman’s cold snort accompanied by a flash of red appeared.

"Slap" went the sound, landing squarely on her face.

Luo Xian instantly glared angrily at Wan Wan of the Charming Bone, who stood beside her.

Wan Wan sneered, putting down the strands of hair wrapped around her fingers, gently shaking her head as her hair fluttered, "Dear sister, whether your Divine Sovereign is powerful, I do not know, but Village Chief’s strength, I am very aware. If you wish to comprehend it, I don’t mind sharing Village Chief’s prowess with you."

Luo Xian’s chest inflated slightly in anger, though rapidly becoming cold as she sealed her lips in silence.

"Wan Wan!"

Jiang Dali shook his head, giving Wan Wan’s expressive eyes a glance before storing away the two Illusion Souls, abruptly striking at Luo Xian and the Ice Emperor.

He grasped with both hands, purple energy swirling within his palms, and a mighty force instantly caused the two to tilt forward as if standing over a bottomless abyss. In an instant, they fell into Jiang Dali’s palms, which were wrapped in icy armor, daring not to resist.

The next moment both felt an imposing force rush into their bodies, scattering into their acupoints, instantly sealing them, causing their bodies to quiver and disabling their power.

After doing this, Jiang Dali turned his gaze to the Divine Walk Grand Protector, who hesitated with an unpleasant face, and said calmly, "To unlock your Qi Gate, giving you the Illusion Soul directly isn’t necessary. Though I despise taking you in, if you’re willing to help me with two tasks, I don’t mind helping you unseal your Qi Gate."

The Divine Walk Grand Protector’s expression immediately lit up upon hearing, and he decisively responded, "Alright! As long as you help me unseal my Qi Gate, I’ll do anything!"
