Sealing Three Souls
In fact, from the moment Li Wei stepped into the '2' realm, she and the three Old Ghost sensed it. These three Old Ghost were all 'old residents' who had been here for countless years. Apart from cultivating, they were extremely bored. So they made a bet with Green Conch, betting that those who stepped into the '2' realm were the people Green Conch was waiting for.
If it's that person, Green Conch can leave; if not, she can stay and keep the three of them company.
But so much time has passed, and those who have entered the '2' realm include humans, ghosts, demons, and monsters, but none of them are the person Green Conch is waiting for.
Although she wanted to return to the 'One' Realm to wait, these three Old Ghost clung to her like glue. Perhaps, with her immortal physique, she could defeat any one of them in a one-on-one fight. However, if they joined forces, she would be helpless. So, she stayed here.
Fortunately, as a precaution, she left a mark in the First Realm so that if Li Wei came, he could find her by following that mark.
Now, besides Li Wei, only practicing martial arts can pique Green Conch's interest.
The three Old Ghost had a completely different expression. They all floated up from the ground and drifted towards Li Wei.
"Hmm, this kid is quite strong. He could stay here and keep us company. However, this is the 'One' Realm below, so there shouldn't be any people here. So, kid, how did you get in?" the Old Ghost called Blood Demon muttered.
The other two Old Ghost and Green Conch were stunned when they heard this.
That's right. Unless it's the Sword Saint, the leader of the Mount Shu Sect, who opens the Sword Saint Demon-Locking Tower, no one else can get in. Unless, of course, this person is the one that Green Conch is waiting for. After all, after so much contact, they have heard from Green Conch about Li Wei's spatial abilities.
Sure enough, Green Conch, realizing this, suddenly stood up, moved lightly, and instantly arrived in front of Li Wei. Then, she stared at Li Wei's face and carefully examined him.
"No... it's not him." Green Conch's initial surprise faded. No matter how she looked at it, the boy in front of her was not the person she remembered.
Moreover, Green Conch had already cultivated into an immortal body, so she could naturally sense the scent of the Sky Fox on Li Wei. She knew that no matter how that person disguised himself, he could not possibly transform into a demon.
Realizing this, Green Conch completely gave up hope. She was about to turn around and continue to study the profound Penglai Sword Canon. Unexpectedly, at this moment, her arm was grabbed by the young man in front of her.
Then, one of the boy's words left her stunned.
"Green Conch, it's been a long time!"
Beside the '2' boundary stone tablet in the Demon-Locking Tower, Li Wei handed a piece of Yellow Paper to Green Conch.
Even now, Green Conch still couldn't quite believe it was real; the boy in front of her really was Li Wei. However, she was much quicker to accept it than Zheng Yutong and the others had been. After all, she knew of a secret technique called 'reincarnation,' and Li Wei might have borrowed this demon's body.
But no matter what, the person she was waiting for finally appeared, and Li Wei was going to take her away from here.
"You mean, if I sign my name on this paper, I can reach your world?" Green Conch asked with some doubt, while carefully examining the Yellow Paper in her hand.
Li Wei nodded.
She trusted Li Wei completely, and she was also very interested in the Shadow Street and the real world that Li Wei talked about. In particular, Li Wei's words, "I need your help," did not change her Green Conch, but she was overjoyed inside.
So she quickly signed the words 'Green Conch' on the Yellow Paper.
After signing her name, the Yellow Paper was now at Green Conch's mercy. Soon, she was completely absorbed in the wondrous information recorded on the Yellow Paper, her face filled with amazement.
At that moment, Li Wei started chatting with the three Old Ghost.
"Kid, you can bring Green Conch in, so you should be able to get us out of here, right?" The Old Ghost called Blood Demon grabbed Li Wei and acted extremely enthusiastically.
He had been trapped in the Demon-Locking Tower for far too long, so long that he had completely forgotten how many years had passed.
The other two ghosts were in the same boat. When they talked to Green Conch, they knew that this might be their chance. If what Green Conch said was true, then whoever could bring her into the Demon-Locking Tower could also bring her out. Similarly, if that person wanted to, they could be taken away as well.
Li Wei knew exactly what those three Old Ghost were planning.
These three Old Ghost were a notorious demon who once cultivated demonic arts and was feared by all. One was Pig Demon, and the other was Flower Demon. It could be said that all three were demons that everyone trembled at the mention of their names. However, in Li Wei's eyes, all three of them were formidable fighters.
At Eye of Perception, the combat strength of the three Old Ghost is unknown, but Li Wei guesses that they should have reached A3 level. After all, if they are promoted to S level, their aura will definitely be stronger than it is now.
Even A3 level is quite formidable. If we could recruit these three to our side, wouldn't we have three free henchmen?
Seeing Li Wei deep in thought, the three Old Ghost exchanged glances.
They knew that anyone who wanted help from others had to pay a price.
But none of them had anything worth showing off; after all, they were ghosts now and had no valuables on them.
At this moment, the Flower Demon woman seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "I just heard you mention the Ten Thousand Swords Art. If I can find you all four fragments of that sword technique, could you take me out of here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei was taken aback. That's right, if he were to collect the fragments of the Myriad Sword Technique, it would definitely take a very long time, but these old Old Ghost were different.
They've probably been here for over a hundred years, so they must have far more fragments of the Myriad Sword Technique than I do. Moreover, Li Wei has already figured out how to restrain these old Old Ghost.
"Alright, give me the Myriad Sword Technique Manual, and I'll take you out." Li Wei looked troubled, as if he had only agreed reluctantly.
The Flower Demon was overjoyed and quickly opened her mouth, spitting out a set of four incomplete scrolls, which she handed to Li Wei.
Seeing the Flower Demon spit out the fragments of the Myriad Sword Technique from its mouth, Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself that these ghosts' methods of storing objects were far too bizarre. However, on the other hand, this ability to spit out items from one's mouth was quite useful in actual combat. If he had the chance, it wouldn't hurt to learn from these old Old Ghost.
Seeing how 'easily' Li Wei agreed to the Flower Demon, the other two Old Ghost were filled with regret. Who knew this kid would be so easily fooled, losing a complete incomplete copy of the Myriad Sword Technique?
Since that's the case, I can no longer keep things to myself.
Before the Blood Demon could speak, the Pig Demon preemptively said, "How about I trade three Soul-Sealing Needle for a chance to leave this Demon-Locking Tower?"
Soul-Sealing Needle?
Li Wei was going to take these three Old Ghost with him anyway, so he figured he'd gained whatever he got. Therefore, he accepted the Pig Demon's exchange request without hesitation.
The Pig Demon was overjoyed. He opened his mouth wide and spat out three black iron nails, which he handed to Li Wei.
"Don't underestimate this magic weapon. It's my treasure. I can use it to subdue enemies in the future. Anyone struck by this Soul-Sealing Needle, no matter how strong they are, will be unable to move for an hour." The Pig Demon was probably excited because he thought he could leave the Demon-Locking Tower, so he talked on and on.
Li Wei naturally accepted the three black needles with great care.
The last Blood Demon hurriedly said, "You two think you can just hand over these things? Bah! To be a ghost like you is utterly shameful."
"Young man, if you can get me out of here, I'll give you a secret treasure."
Li Wei chuckled; he was curious to see what kind of secret treasure the Blood Demon could produce. Similarly, the Blood Demon opened its massive mouth and spat out a blood-red scroll, handing it to Li Wei.
When Li Wei opened the blood-red scroll and saw what was inside, a strange expression appeared on his face. It was a cultivation technique called 'Blood Refining Art'. Li Wei only glanced at it briefly before putting it away.
For now, it's best to continue improving the special skills you've already mastered. Li Wei understands the principle of not trying to do too much at once.
Looking at Green Conch's side, she was still immersed in the vast amount of information on the Yellow Paper when Li Wei took the 'Beast Soul' sword from behind and stuck it in front of the three Old Ghost.
"This greatsword of mine can serve as your temporary shelter. Once you're out, I'll release you," Li Wei chuckled, having set a trap for the three Old Ghost.
This Beast Soul Sword can capture the souls of wild beasts, so capturing these old Old Ghost shouldn't be a problem either.
The three Old Ghost exchanged glances, their hearts filled with hesitation.
However, compared to endlessly staying inside the Demon-Locking Tower, they quickly made a decision. The three Old Ghost transformed into three wisps of white smoke and entered the Beast Soul Sword.
Seeing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
This Beast Soul Sword can imprison ten thousand souls. Once a soul enters, it will be branded with an indelible mark by the Beast Soul, and afterwards, it can only obey the Beast Soul's master. Of course, the three Old Ghost felt tricked after entering the Beast Soul and cursed loudly, but Li Wei didn't care about them at this time. Soon, the cursing from the sword weakened, Li Wei chuckled, put the Beast Soul back on his back, and walked towards Green Conch.
In the real world, Three Heroes City.
With the Green Conch in hand, Li Wei returned to the real world. Of course, upon seeing the Green Conch, everyone couldn't help but harbor some resentment towards Li Wei. Nina, in particular, regarded Li Wei as her number one 'enemy'.
However, she treated Green Conch like a sister. As a result, after just one morning, Green Conch's gaze towards Li Wei held a hint of reproach. At this moment, Li Wei could only shake his head with a wry smile. He knew without asking that it must be that little girl Nina who was talking badly about him.
With Green Conch's addition, Li Wei's chances of resurrecting his father and Amakusa in the Level 7 Illusion Realm have increased significantly. Without further ado, after a brief day's rest in the city, Li Wei, along with Green Conch, Zhang Sanfeng, Dongfang Bubai, and Xue Yan, headed towards the town where the Seventy-Two was located.
For a level 7 Illusion Realm, Seventy-Two, who has been there more than once, is clearly an excellent guide.
The town of Seventy-Two is located in a swampy area a thousand miles away. It is a level 3 town, and people who come and go from this town call it 'Flying Dragon City'.
With a distance of thousands of miles, Li Wei naturally couldn't use his flying card. Fortunately, he had a mobile aerial fortress called 'Destroyer's City', so Li Wei arrived at Flying Dragon City before sunset.
