"A Soul Artifact is called a Soul Artifact because it already contains a trace of a simple soul, or rather, consciousness! Once a Soul Artifact has been completely subdued and refined by a martial artist, if that martial artist encounters danger, the Soul Artifact will proactively protect its master. That is why Soul Artifacts protect their masters!"
"However, once a Soul Artifact loses its master's support—especially when its master has lost their physical body—its power will be greatly diminished!"
While Jian Qianxiong explained the origins of "a Soul Artifact protecting its master" to Ye Zhen, his hands did not slow in the slightest. He flew directly above Ye Zhen and the Longevity Banner, which were locked in a stalemate. With a thought, a peerlessly fierce surge of Soul Power blasted toward the Longevity Banner!
"Jian Qianxiong, how dare you!"
Seeing Jian Qianxiong join forces with Ye Zhen to attack his Longevity Banner, Yin Changsheng's phantom within that mass of Innate Soul Light let out a shrill scream!
"If I don't deal with you, should I let you escape, nurse your wounds, and come back to take revenge on me?" Jian Qianxiong snapped coldly as his Soul Attack crashed into the Longevity Banner!
The Longevity Banner suddenly shook violently under the blow. With a fierce tremor, its radiance dimmed considerably, and the force it used to struggle free immediately weakened.
Ye Zhen's great hand of Four-colored Innate Soul Light had originally been forced open with threadlike cracks and was on the verge of letting it escape. Yet following Jian Qianxiong's blow, the cracks in that great hand rapidly began to heal!
When another Soul Attack from Jian Qianxiong came crashing down, Yin Changsheng could endure no longer. Channeling his Soul Power, he let out a piercing shriek!
"Imperial Envoy, save me!"
