Mo Yan's eyes.
They were so terrifying.
Scarlet filled his eye sockets.
No one could fathom what he was thinking at the moment.
In his eyes, even the last trace of tenderness had vanished completely with the sound of Zhao Shuning's bone whistle.
Mo Yan's hands.
Suddenly placed on the light circle.
His other hand.
Reached into his bosom.
And took out a black stone.
That stone.
It had no luster at all.
Yet it looked so eerie.
No one dared to get close to it.
It seemed that once one got close, they would be drawn into its spell, and just one glance would make people sink into it involuntarily.
"This stone—"
Luo Qiu murmured.
Zhao Shuning looked at Luo Qiu in confusion.
Luo Qiu quickly said, "I seem to have seen this stone before."
"Yes, I saw a similar stone in the Man - eating Lake before. It was also thanks to the characteristics of the Man - eating Lake that I discovered the Ghost Domain."
"Why would this stone appear in the Man - eating Lake?"
"There are many pebbles of this shape in the flower fields of Loulan."
Zhao Shuning stared intently.
She suddenly realized.
This Millennium Stone Soul.
Perhaps Mo Yan didn't discover it by chance.
From the very beginning, Mo Yan had always known about the existence of the Millennium Stone Soul. He was setting up a huge trap, making everyone walk into it slowly.
Luo Qiu thought it was she who found the Ghost Domain.
In fact.
All of this.
Was under Mo Yan's arrangement.
Could it be?
Zhao Shuning raised her eyes and put away the bone whistle.
"Lord Mo Yan, was the downfall of Loulan back then?"
"It was also within my expectation. Otherwise, how could I have an excuse to enter the Ghost Domain with Luo Qiu and find a better place for the Stone Soul to absorb spiritual power and mental strength?"
Zhao Shuning took a step back.
Mo Yan's horror.
Far exceeded her imagination.
So.
Even his loyalty to Loulan was fake.
Zhao Shuning had always thought that she knew Mo Yan quite well, but at this moment, all her assumptions were overthrown.
Mo Yan was the ancestral figure of Loulan who had lived for a thousand years. For his future, he could exploit everyone in the world to the extreme. How tired such a person must be. Under such a heavy burden, he could still arrange the situation so perfectly.
"Everyone is in your calculations."
Luo Qiu was no exception.
Nor was Mo Bai.
Presumably, Mo Bai didn't know until his death that the Millennium Stone Soul, the precious treasure he thought he had suddenly discovered, was actually all part of his father's plan.
Everyone was in Mo Yan's plan.
"I never miscalculate, but Yan'er, you are an exception."
"However, now that your heart is still not with me, it doesn't matter. Now, you can go with that rebellious son. Just right, this will be the last gift I give him as a father."
Mo Yan's state of mind at this moment.
Was completely different from when Zhao Shuning first knew him.
In his eyes.
There was only power.
Mo Yan let go.
The eerie black stone.
Suddenly built a bridge with the huge light circle.
Endless soul energy began to pour into the Millennium Stone Soul.
And the power within the Stone Soul.
Also began to slowly awaken.
The light circle where Zhao Shuning and the others were located, due to the slow extraction of the soul energy, the restriction on them gradually weakened.
If Zhao Shuning hadn't suddenly taken out the bone whistle.
Mo Yan might not have been in such a hurry.
He didn't expect.
Zhao Shuning would show no mercy to him.
Those cultivators who had always helped Mo Yan before saw this and wanted to escape.
The Mo Yan in front of them.
Was no longer the divine seat in the Ghost Domain.
He was terrifying. For his power, he could even sacrifice his own son.
Such a master.
Was not worth their loyalty.
But.
As soon as they had this thought.
Mo Yan immediately noticed.
Following that.
Countless tentacles like vines stretched out.
Quickly wrapped around their waists.
The next moment.
Before those people could even resist.
Their facial features.
Began to distort.
Then their bodies quickly became emaciated, and their spiritual power and mental strength were continuously drawn out of their bodies and quickly transmitted into the Stone Soul.
Mo Yan's appearance.
Also began to change slowly.
His eyes.
Became narrow.
His hair also grew a lot at a visible speed.
His whole body.
Emitted a deep purple light.
And then slowly turned golden.
This was the light that only a supreme powerhouse would possess.
It could be seen that.
At this moment, the power of the Stone Soul was already transferring into Mo Yan's body.
Zhao Shuning and Luo Qiu seized the opportunity and immediately worked together to break the net of heaven and earth and got out of the boundary created by the soul energy.
They took a few steps back.
Mo Yan's aura was extremely powerful at this moment.
They even found it difficult to get close.
Luo Qiu tried to get closer again.
But was immediately stopped by Zhao Shuning.
"Going up now is just courting death."
"Sister, the power of the Millennium Stone Soul hasn't been fully absorbed by him yet. We still have—"
"There's no chance. Now, we can only wait."
"Sister?"
"Wait for my brother and Bu Ran to come."
If they came, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
This great battle.
Was a hundred times more terrifying than she had expected.
She didn't know if there were any anomalies on Bu Ran's Star Chart Formation. He should be on his way here.
Mo Yan was the ancestral figure of Loulan who had lived for a thousand years.
He had hidden this fact very well.
Catching everyone off guard.
At this time.
Even if Zhao Shuning risked self - explosion, it might not have any effect on him.
Mo Yan, who had absorbed the power of the Millennium Stone Soul, could be said to be invincible in the Nine - Province Continent.
The power of the Stone Soul had just been absorbed tonight and was not very stable yet.
If Mo Yan wasn't eliminated tonight, then the Nine - Province Continent would truly be finished.
Zhao Shuning didn't act rashly.
She pulled Luo Qiu.
And slowly stepped back.
"So, sister, what should we do now?"
"After he absorbs all the power of these souls, try to delay the time as much as possible. Xiao Qiu, remember, don't act rashly. His abilities are far stronger than ours."
"Okay."
Zhao Shuning turned back and smiled gently.
"Maybe we won't be able to walk out of this palace alive tonight."
Luo Qiu smiled understandingly.
"I'll protect you, sister."
Zhao Shuning returned a smile.
She gently stroked Luo Qiu's fine hair.
And said softly, "Sister will also protect you."
Luo Qiu felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although she didn't refute, she firmly thought in her heart that you have protected me many times. This time, even if I can't enter the reincarnation, I will surely do my best to protect you.
"Sister?"
Luo Qiu's hand touched Zhao Shuning's.
And then.
Held it.
Zhao Shuning looked at Luo Qiu with a questioning look in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Qiu gave a charming smile, extremely bright.
Her beautiful eyes were suddenly like they were filled with stars.
"Meeting sister is the luckiest thing in Xiao Qiu's life."
