At these words, Gu Yuanqing's gaze sharpened slightly.
"Someone slipped into the Ancient Realm and killed people!" Wei Zhaocheng stared at Gu Yuanqing, paused, then continued slowly, "The bodies and divine souls of the Great Wei Divine Dynasty Subjects are intertwined with the Demon Lord's demonic thoughts. When they are killed, the yin energy escaping from them clings to whoever struck the blow, entangling that person in the power of the Demon Lord Soul.
"In the past, the seal was still intact. At every full moon, the Rule Divine Artifact's power restored all the Ancient Realm's inhabitants to their original state, and the lingering devil soul power naturally returned to them.
"But now the seal can barely hold. The Demon Lord Soul has regained consciousness and can no longer be fully suppressed. Its power escaped the Rule Divine Artifact's control and followed someone from the Exquisite Realm Domain out of the Ancient Realm. We simply do not know which world this person came from."
Gu Yuanqing looked at Wei Zhao and asked calmly, "Why are you telling me this?"
Wei Zhao's voice sank. "Do you still not understand? If you refuse to act any longer, the Devil Venerable Soul will break free completely. By then, regret will come too late!"
Gu Yuanqing suddenly smiled. "This time, you did tell me some truth. Kill the Ancient Realm's inhabitants, and the Devil Venerable Soul will cling to you."
Wei Zhao said, "That applies to others. You command the Great Void Creation Wheel's power. The Way of Creation generates life without end and can completely wear away the Demon Lord Soul. Even if it clings to you, it cannot affect you."
"We are talking about the Demon Lord. As the origin of the Demonic Dao, he is likely a God King as well.
