Soul Devouring Sword Master

"The Lord of the Demon Valley, Shangguan Hong, I fought with him many years ago. He has reached the pinnacle of magic skills and is very powerful. I lost to him in half a move when I sparred with him that year, and I haven't seen him since then."

"Although Shangguan Hong practices magic skills, he is upright and devoted to martial arts. He is not a bloodthirsty person and does not like war. We talked about it at the beginning. He would never start a war, but a few years after the establishment of the Holy Gate, the Demon Valley and the Holy Gate started a war together and encroached on the territory of my Wanxue Sect. With Shangguan Hong's temperament, he should not cooperate with the Holy Gate, and he has no need to lie to me."

Mo Yunhan shook his head and sighed, looked at Shangguan Hong, and said indifferently, "Shangguan Hong, do you still remember me?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Hong glanced at Mo Yunhan, and there was no light in his dim eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Why don't you say anything!"

Mo Yunhan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. Over the years, the Demon Valley and the Saint Sect had started a war together and occupied the territory of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect. I don't know how many disciples of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect sacrificed themselves for this. This time, both sides launched a large-scale attack on the Ten Thousand Blood Sect, and many disciples died. Mo Yunhan's killing intention towards Shangguan Hong can be imagined.

Shangguan Hong glanced at Mo Yunhan, expressionless, and still didn't say a word.

Mo Yunhan frowned, feeling something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the details. He had a doubt in his heart. Is this still the Shangguan Hong who fought with him for thousands of rounds, shouted happily, and then drank and talked happily together?

"I guess he might be controlled by the Saint Sect."

Lin Xiao said.

Including Mo Yunhan, he has heard the reputation of Shangguan Hong from three people. The other two are Murong Shi's master and Shangguan Zhiyan.

From Sanrao's words, Lin Xiao was able to judge what kind of person Shangguan Hong was, which was completely inconsistent with his current behavior. Shangguan Zhiyan had said that Shangguan Hong had gone out for a trip, and his temperament changed drastically after he came back. He began to cooperate with the Holy Gate to target the Ten Thousand Blood Sect.

It is not difficult to infer from this point that Shangguan Hong may have experienced some things after he went out, which made him controlled by the Holy Gate. With Xu Yan's means, it is not difficult to do this.

"Controlled?"

Mo Yunhan was stunned, and then his eyes flashed, "It is really possible."

Originally, Mo Yunhan only knew that the Holy Gate had a mysterious Holy Emperor, but he only heard about it and didn't know the specific strength. He estimated that it should be not much different from Sheng Cang, at most a little stronger.

However, after witnessing the battle just now, he knew that this Holy Emperor was definitely a peerless strong man, and it is very likely that he did not belong to the Pan-Ancient Continent. His power is definitely not something that can be born in the Pan-Ancient Continent. Such a person is indeed capable of controlling Shangguan Hong.

This seems to explain why Shangguan Hong started to cooperate with the Holy Gate to deal with the Ten Thousand Blood Sect a few years after the Holy Gate was established, and Shangguan Hong's current state seems to confirm this point.

And the reason why Lin Xiao came here was to learn some information about Xu Yan from Shangguan Hong.

But before that, he had to find a way to make Shangguan Hong recover.

Opening the prison door, Lin Xiao walked in.

Shangguan Hong's eyes flashed a trace of hostility, and he was about to take action, but Lin Xiao took the initiative and restrained him.

Lin Xiao walked in front of Shangguan Hong, and his spiritual power spread out, sensing the situation of his body.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's expression moved, and he felt that there was a dark red breath lingering near the Nascent Soul in Shangguan Hong's Dantian, which made the Nascent Soul, which should have been transparent, dyed dark red.

For warriors in the Nascent Soul Realm, the Nascent Soul can enhance perception and understanding, which is comparable to the second brain of the warrior. It is also connected to the perception of the brain and is the foundation of cultivation. Once the Nascent Soul is affected, the consequences are very serious.

Intuition tells Lin Xiao that the reason for Shangguan Hong's abnormality is this dark red aura, which seems to be a kind of evil spirit.

Without thinking too much, Lin Xiao directly performed the Soul Devouring Technique, and the devouring power spread out and poured into Shangguan Hong's Dantian, directly covering the dark red aura.

"Swallow!"

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed, and the devouring power started to devour and refine the aura.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Shangguan Hong's body trembled violently, his eyes widened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he let out a shrill cry, his face twisted in pain, and his whole body trembled.

Boom!

Lin Xiao suppressed Shangguan Hong with his breath, making him unable to move. Only his pupils were still shrinking and his body was shaking violently. As Lin Xiao continued to devour and refine those breaths, Shangguan Hong's face became ferocious, his facial muscles twitched wildly, and bloodshot eyes appeared.

Not long after, the breath outside the Nascent Soul was devoured, and then the breath inside the Nascent Soul.

"Ah!!"

Shangguan Hong let out a more shrill scream, echoing throughout the cell. His face was distorted to the extreme, sweating like rain, and his eyeballs were almost popping out, as if he was suffering from the pain of being cut by a thousand knives.

No wonder, Shangguan Hong was probably controlled a long time ago. This breath had already penetrated deep into the Nascent Soul. If he wanted to extract it, it would definitely cause some damage to the Nascent Soul, just like taking out a poison needle from flesh and blood. The process must be extremely painful.

The shrill roars were endless, penetrating the ground, and even people outside could hear it.

"Dad!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout sounded, which startled Lin Xiao, "Zhiyan?"

Mo Yunhan was also stunned, and turned around, only to see a woman in a black dress running in.
