Xue Yu Makes His Move

The instant Ruofeng issued the warning, the Heavenly Demon Palace's grand protective formation activated. Every disciple in the sect who was not in secluded cultivation flashed toward the Heavenly Demon Palace's main hall. Even the Old Ancestor on the back mountain was alerted; the moment he opened his eyes, he vanished from his Immortal Cave.

At that moment, inside the Heavenly Demon Palace's main hall, Yunxi and Xun Kun were controlling the Soul-Collecting Mirror to collect two divine souls. One belonged to the real Huangfu Zhenghong, while the other was that wisp of Clone. Clearly not expecting to be exposed so quickly, the other party fixed Yunxi with venomous blue eyes, his lips moving as he said, "Xi, you've ruined my plans again!"

Yunxi remained unmoved. She increased the Soul-Collecting Mirror's suction and completely drew that wisp of divided soul into the mirror. Then she swiftly flicked several streams of Soul Power into it, isolating that divided soul on its own. She had not forgotten what Xun Kun had told her: this divided soul could strengthen itself by devouring Evil Souls and vicious ghosts.

Xun Kun's side was much easier. The divine soul he had drawn into the Soul-Collecting Mirror had already fallen asleep. This was the real Huangfu Zhenghong, though whether he would ever awaken again was unknown. Judging by his nearly transparent soul, much of his Soul Power had likely been absorbed by the Evil Soul's Clone.

If not for the need to conceal its identity, he would probably have long been completely devoured by the divided soul. Otherwise, Huangfu Zhenghong would not have resembled the evil cultivator's divided soul so closely, making the true owner look instead like a divine soul that had failed at possession.

Moyong was stunned for a moment, then flashed to Ruofeng's side
