Inside Mo Bai's body.
Although he had powerful spiritual energy, he overlooked an important issue.
He was the young master of the Ghost Domain. Most of the power within his body came from ancient ferocious beasts and the spiritual energy of alchemists he had absorbed. His spiritual root was not as solid and powerful as Zhao Shuning's.
Moreover, these souls had all died unjustly, and they had all perished at the hands of those from the Ghost Domain. Even after their deaths, a trace of resentful spiritual energy from their last moments before death remained on their powerful souls. Individually, these traces of spiritual energy were insignificant, but when gathered, the resentment they caused was enough to stir up turmoil.
Mo Bai was the lord of the Ghost Domain. The souls had initially emerged and chosen him because of his powerful spiritual energy. However, at this moment, when they realized that the powerful spiritual energy within Mo Bai came from the Ghost Domain, their resentment immediately manifested.
At this moment, they were restless and agitated.
Mo Bai's consciousness still remained within his body, but his body had become transparent. He now realized that the situation was out of control. The drawbacks of relying on external forces during cultivation were fully revealed at this moment.
He forcibly suppressed the impact of the huge souls within his body.
Zhao Shuning immediately sat down cross - legged. She used both hands to lift Mo Bai's transparent body and poured a continuous stream of spiritual energy and mental power into his body.
The souls had to find a new container. They were clearly very dissatisfied with Mo Bai as their host.
However, these countless souls had already devoured Mo Bai's spiritual energy and power. As a result, their strength had unknowingly increased significantly.
Mo Bai still had a shred of consciousness left and could suppress them to some extent. If his last shred of consciousness were to be destroyed, the long - accumulated resentment of these souls would surely burst out completely. Mo Bai's cultivation was extremely powerful. With the addition of Mo Bai's abilities to the original countless souls, they would surely no longer take a fancy to Zhao Shuning as a host.
If previously Zhao Shuning still had the confidence to use the power of the millennium stone soul to have a do - or - die battle, at this moment, there was completely no hope.
Mo Bai was on the verge of collapse and pain.
Zhao Shuning did her best to pour her spiritual energy into his now - transparent body. At this moment, she had to prevent the souls from breaking out of his body.
At present, even if Ran came in person, he would not be able to withstand the power of these countless souls.
However, Zhao Shuning's strength alone was so weak.
Seeing this, the Phoenix quickly removed the formation formed by its entire body's spiritual energy and continuously poured its own power into Mo Bai's body.
Without the support of the Phoenix, the entire formation collapsed at this moment.
However, they couldn't care about this at this moment.
Mo Yan looked at Mo Bai's almost transparent body. His expression was unpredictable.
At this moment, the formation had already been removed. What should he do?
"Lord Mo Yan, Mo Bai is your child. I don't believe that you are so cold - blooded that you have never loved him from beginning to end."
Mo Yan's body trembled.
Zhao Shuning continued, "I don't believe that you are a heartless person. You are just blinded by your obsession and can't see clearly ahead. Lord Mo Yan, you should think carefully about what is truly important to you. Looking at Mo Bai in so much pain, are the vast rivers and seas in your heart still that important?"
In front of Mo Yan's eyes, many scenes of Mo Bai as a child emerged.
He walked tremblingly in front of him and timidly took out a spiritual pet's inner core. At that time, what Mo Bai wanted was his father's affirmation.
However, at that time, Mo Yan only left a sentence, "My child will never be so incompetent. Come to me for credit when you get the demon beast's core."
At that time, it was just such a simple sentence. Mo Yan didn't expect what consequences it would bring. He just thought that Mo Bai was unmotivated. Seeing him smiling so happily, he couldn't help but want to dampen his spirit.
But later, this child really went alone to challenge the ancient ferocious beast in order to get his affirmation.
After that, Mo Bai disappeared. When he saw this child again, he had already grown into a young man.
However, there was no longer any light in the young man's eyes. Mo Bai would no longer blink his eyes and ask for his affirmation like when he was a child.
"Lord Mo Yan, you shouldn't be so heartless."
Mo Yan came back to his senses. He remembered the look in Mo Bai's eyes when he looked at him earlier.
In his heart, that big stone was pressing so hard that he could hardly breathe.
He turned around and said to the cultivators, "Everyone, please help me seal these souls together."
"Divine Throne, you've got it wrong. We agreed to help you, but not for this matter. Now these souls are running amok everywhere and have absorbed the power of the lord of the Ghost Domain. If we follow you forward, aren't we just going to our deaths? It's not easy for us to cultivate, so we won't do such a thing."
"If the souls escape, do you think these souls will spare you people who have helped the Ghost Domain?"
Zhao Shuning's threatening words blurted out. This sentence was much more effective than all the previous ones Mo Yan had said.
Zhao Shuning then said, "You have to think clearly. If everyone works together now, there may still be a chance to temporarily seal these souls. But if you flee at this moment, with the souls' current abilities, it will be the easiest thing for them to find you and defeat you one by one."
This made sense.
Zhao Shuning was already on the verge of being unable to hold on.
Mo Yan quickly joined this camp.
Mo Bai looked at Mo Yan. This time when the father and son looked at each other, Mo Yan seemed to see the most precious thing in Mo Bai's eyes, which was relief.
"It's my fault that I've hurt you."
After Mo Yan injected his power, the souls calmed down a bit. But this was not a long - term solution.
After some thought, everyone gritted their teeth and joined in.
The souls seemed less active than before.
Mo Yan let out a sigh of relief. Zhao Shuning exchanged a look with him, and they both nodded.
Then, they slowly guided these souls back into the scimitar.
On the scimitar, there were marks left by a high - level expert thousands of years ago. It should be able to seal the power of these huge souls.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
After the power of the souls was re - injected into the scimitar, Mo Bai's entire body slowly regained its solid form. However, his aura was weak, and his powerful spiritual energy and power had completely disappeared.
Zhao Shuning quickly stepped forward to check on Mo Bai. But at this moment, she felt a chill on her back.
She was shocked and quickly dodged. Mo Bai lay back on the ground again.
Zhao Shuning looked at the attacker in disbelief, her face looking ugly.
It was Mo Yan. At this moment, in his hand was that scimitar.
