38: evil cultivators possess bodies

After the two left Lonyue Tower, they headed straight for the Ji Family residence.

At this time, the Ji Family had already been mobilized.

Today was of great importance, and they had all entered a state of high alert.

Even the three Foundation Establishment level Alchemists from seven days ago had not left; the way they looked at Qin Dong was always filled with a hint of disdain.

"This kid who popped out of nowhere actually dares to call himself the Descendant of the Medical Saint."

"Let's see how he'll save face later when his treatment fails."

The three Foundation Establishment level Alchemists whispered among themselves.

"Little Friend Lin, my Ji Family has been waiting for you for a long time. We'll have to trouble you."

Ji Tianchuan led a group of Ji Family members to give Qin Dong a deep bow, and all the Ji Family members had joyful expressions on their faces.

This change occurred naturally because of the Fetal Protection Medicine Qin Dong had given.

Ah, no, it was the Soul-Nurturing Prescription; it had a great effect.

"Head of the Ji Family, please rise. Saving lives and helping the injured is the responsibility of us healers."

After some pleasantries, Qin Dong walked into the back hall.

At Qin Dong's request, Ji Lingshuang was responsible for assisting, while the others waited outside.

Entering the back hall, one could see that the Ji Family Elder's complexion had clearly become ruddier, and his own aura began to emanate.

Qin Dong used an Earth Rank inspection Cultivation Technique and saw that the Ji Family had indeed been feeding the patient the medicine properly.

After seven days of nourishment, the other party's Divine Soul had clearly recovered a lot.

"Senior Sister Ji, to tell you the truth, your Family elder's illness is due to Divine Soul damage."

"Divine Soul damage? That's impossible."

"Over the past two and a half years, our Ji Family has already given the elder many spiritual items to treat the Divine Soul."

"Logically speaking, even if it were Divine Soul damage, it should have recovered by now."

Ji Lingshuang's beautiful eyes dazed slightly; she hadn't expected this to be the reason.

"If it were a common Divine Soul problem, that would certainly be fine, but I might as well tell you."

Qin Dong's voice deepened: "There are two souls within your Family elder's Sea of Consciousness."

"What?!"

Ji Lingshuang was horrified.

If that were truly the case, then the one who woke up after their treatment wouldn't be their Ji Family Elder, but rather some ancient evil Cultivator who had performed a Possession, which would be a huge problem.

Then, what awaited their Ji Family and Lonyue City would be truly unpredictable.

While Ji Lingshuang was still struggling with whether or not to save him, Qin Dong suddenly spoke up: "Senior Sister, you've cultivated the Yuntian Canon to the seventh layer, right?"

"It's already at the seventh layer."

"Junior Brother Lin, are you sure you want to save him?"

Ji Lingshuang was at a loss; she didn't dare to make a decision on such a matter.

She also had her own selfish motives; after all, this person was part of the Ji Family's foundation and was vital to the Family.

However, she also had concerns.

"In case the one who is saved isn't the elder..."

Ji Lingshuang didn't dare to think further; facing a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator in a state of slaughter, they wouldn't even be able to run away.

Hadn't she seen that three years ago, in the battle between Zhang Yizhi and the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator of Black Blood Mountain City, the aftershocks alone caused the deaths of over a hundred Cultivators and thousands of innocent Mortals?

Even if that incident was suppressed, those ruins are still there today.

"No matter, I naturally have a way to save your Family elder."

Qin Dong softly comforted her, although he didn't know if the one saved would be the person himself.

However, he could guarantee one thing.

Even if the Family elder was possessed by an evil Cultivator, he was confident he could escape Lonyue City.

If he couldn't win, couldn't he just run?

Seriously, the cultivation world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about worldly wisdom.

After all, fifty thousand ta... one should do good deeds.

"Senior Sister Ji, the seventh layer of the Yuntian Canon has a discourse on externalizing the Divine Soul. In a moment, circulate that part of the Cultivation Technique with all your strength."

"Circulating it with full power can briefly strengthen the Divine Soul."

"Then, hold my hand tightly."

Ji Lingshuang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but she still hugged his arm with both hands, her two white peaks pressing against him.

A soft and comfortable feeling came over him; it was very soft.

"Ahem, Senior Sister Ji, I said your hand."

Holding Ji Lingshuang's boneless little hand, Qin Dong didn't dare to be negligent.

He immediately pressed his other palm against the Ji Family Elder's forehead and circulated the tenth layer of the Yuntian Canon with all his might.

Yuntian Canon Perfection! Tenth layer!

Taiyi Everlasting Chapter!

The mandatory Cultivation Technique of the Cloud Heaven Sect, cultivated to a perfect state, briefly enhanced the Divine Soul power of both of them at this moment.

Suddenly, heaven and earth seemed to freeze, and two wisps of consciousness slowly entered the Ji Family Elder's Sea of Consciousness along the palm... "Senior Sister, it's time to let go."

Within a hazy and illusory Sea of Consciousness, two hazy figures emerged—it was Qin Dong and Ji Lingshuang.

Ji Lingshuang nodded and withdrew her small hand somewhat unnaturally.

This guy, why does he seem a bit disgusted by me?

Hmph, so what if this Young Miss held your hand?

Now you're acting disgusted?

Regarding this, Qin Dong didn't think much of it and continued to circulate the Taiyi Everlasting Chapter.

Soon, a faint path appeared before them, and Qin Dong reminded Ji Lingshuang to keep up with his pace.

The two did not let down their guard and advanced carefully all the way.

Before long, a group of buildings suddenly appeared in the hazy and illusory Sea of Consciousness.

This was a stream courtyard. When the two found an observation position, the scene before them made both of them gape in surprise.

"My lord~ come and find me."

"Can't catch me, can't catch me."

"My lord, today it's my turn to storm the city. Have you prepared your defenses?"

"Hehe, come, come, this old man has long been prepared."

In the stream courtyard, there was a group of handsome, feminine-looking, and slender men.

They were running and playing in various indecent clothes.

Qin Dong did a rough count; there were more than ten of them.

Among them, a fellow who looked like a youth was overwhelmed, playing and frolicking with many handsome men.

Playing to their hearts' content, they even started blowing each other's horns.

"Senior Sister Ji, if I'm not mistaken, that one should be your Family elder."

"Your Family elder is truly a hero..."

Ji Lingshuang quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look any longer.

Damn it, she could no longer look directly at this elder she once respected so much.

She hadn't expected the elder to be like this.

Compared to this elder, it seemed that even this Lin Hong could be considered some kind of peerless man.

"Let's not delay and act quickly. I don't want to stay here any longer."

Ji Lingshuang stamped her foot and urged Qin Dong again; she couldn't stay in this Sea of Consciousness space for even a breath longer.

"Alright, as you wish."

Qin Dong pinched a hand seal and circulated a Cultivation Technique for removing Divine Soul Impurities.

This Cultivation Technique was obtained from the Cloud Heaven Sect's Cultivation Technique Pavilion and was extremely difficult to Cultivate.

Major Achievement!

Nanming Flowing Fire Treasure Tome!

This was an offensive Profound Rank Cultivation Technique. Many people in the Cloud Heaven Sect cultivated it, but those who had reached the max level were probably few and far between.

With a point of his finger, the Nanming Flowing Fire landed in the Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly, like a spark thrown into a pile of paper, it instantly transformed into a towering inferno that began to burn.

Wisps of eerie Divine Soul suppression aura were burned away.

In the stream courtyard, the many handsome men who were originally doing bad things were all enveloped by the Nanming Flowing Fire.

In particular, the busy Ji Family Elder was the focus of attention, being incinerated by the Nanming Flowing Fire.

Crack, crack, crack.

Under this towering inferno, the stream courtyard collapsed, and the entire Sea of Consciousness was continuously reshaped.

The Ji Family Elder, who was previously in a dazed state of pleasure, seemed to recover a trace of clarity.

"I... what am I doing..."

Just as Qin Dong and Ji Lingshuang thought they were about to complete the task, a sudden change occurred... "Junior!!! How dare you ruin my plans."

"I want you dead!!!!"

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the winds and clouds surged.

In the next instant, the sun and moon in the Sea of Consciousness space reversed, and the mountains and rivers lost their light.

The stream courtyard that was originally burning with fire turned into a terrifying and bloody battlefield.

In the middle of the battlefield, flesh was blurred and corpses were everywhere.

It couldn't help but strike fear into one's heart.

A towering figure suddenly stood up, looking down at the two from a height of a hundred meters with a ferocious expression.

This figure was like an Asura Divine General, holding an exaggerated giant axe in each hand; the two of them were as tiny as ants before him.

Clearly, this towering figure was the other soul within the Ji Family Elder's body.

"Junior! If it weren't for your interference just now, I would have almost taken full control of this body."

"You've forced this Sovereign to use up the last trace of my power."

"You've done well, now you shall all die!"

The towering figure roared, and his mountain-like body heavily lifted as he took a step toward where the two were standing.

He was almost about to trample Qin Dong and Ji Lingshuang into meat paste in an instant.

"Withdraw!"

Qin Dong hurriedly circulated the Taiyi Everlasting Chapter again to escape from here.

In the next moment, the figures of the two instantly disappeared from the Sea of Consciousness space.

In the back hall, Qin Dong and Ji Lingshuang, who had been maintaining an eerie posture, instantly woke up.

"Leave quickly!"

"Your Family elder has completely fallen into a deep sleep, and he has taken full control now..."

Before Qin Dong could finish, in an instant, his gaze caught sight of that youthful figure that had eerily sat up.

Before one could react, the youthful figure suddenly erupted with power, and the youth on the bed leaped up.

A punch was quickly thrown, and a powerful attack far exceeding the Foundation Establishment Realm arrived in an instant.

Without time to think, at such a short distance, even at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, Qin Dong was not confident he could block this aura fluctuation.

Quickly pulling Ji Lingshuang over, Qin Dong's thoughts moved rapidly, and a small mysterious black shield appeared in time.

This was exactly the reward Qin Dong received upon joining the Cloud Heaven Sect, the Low Grade Earth Rank Magical Artifact, the Nether Profound Shield.

Qin Dong's heart sank as he quickly injected his entire body's true essence into the Nether Profound Shield.

Dense runes suddenly surfaced on the Nether Profound Shield, emitting a deep and mysterious light.

Boom!

The youthful figure's attack slammed heavily into the Nether Profound Shield, letting out a dull, thunderous sound.

Facing this attack, the Earth Rank Magic Treasure was truly effective; the Nether Profound Shield actually blocked the strike.

The powerful collision of forces caused Spiritual Qi to crash like a flood from a burst dam.

Even with the protection of the Earth Rank Magic Treasure, Qin Dong and Ji Lingshuang were still shaken and thrown backward at the same time.

Ji Lingshuang cried out, reaching out to grab Qin Dong's lapel to barely stabilize her body.

"Boom!!!"

The entire building collapsed, and dust filled the air.

Ji Tianchuan and the many Ji Family experts who were still waiting anxiously were suddenly startled by this aura.

Before they could even turn around to check behind them, a terrifying explosion of true essence erupted.

In this aftermath, some Ji Family members at the low levels of the Qi Refining Realm were blown away on the spot.

"What!"

Ji Tianchuan suddenly turned around to look, only to see a youthful figure floating in mid-air with a sinister expression on his face.

Flying in the air, a Golden Core Ancestor?!

"Who are you!"

Ji Tianchuan's face turned pale; he realized the other party's situation was clearly wrong.

"Hehe..."

The youth's lips curled into an evil smile, his eyes cold as he looked at the Ji Family members on the ground: "Children, I am your Family elder."

"Father, quickly evacuate the clan members!"

"The elder has been possessed!"

Ji Lingshuang's urgent voice came from afar, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

"He is not the elder, he is the ancient evil Cultivator from that Blood-colored Secret Realm!"
