asped in a similar embrace. An equally illusory Palace of Leaping Fire and Snow materialized in his palm.Obviously, he wants to buy some time for Jiang Yun!To be honest, if Ginger Cloud hadn't shocked..."Your brother, Zhan Yuan"

Jiang Yun's brows furrowed slightly. "You wouldn't be telling me that your brother was caught by the monster at the center of this world, and is being used to threaten you, forcing you into a deal with him"

"You can put it that way," Zhan Chou nodded. "However, it didn't use my brother's life to blackmail me; it has already become my brother!"

When others heard Jiang Qiu's words, they would inevitably be confused. However, Ginger Yun immediately understood!

In this Nine Colors Realm, the monster beasts imprisoned by the nine clans, if they want to completely break free and gain true freedom, then they can only give up their own physical bodies and unleash the soul-stealing art, seizing the souls of human cultivators, transforming themselves into human cultivators!

And in Zhan Chou's words, the meaning was clear: the most powerful demonic beast residing at the center of this realm had devoured Zhan Yuan's soul and become Zhan Yuan itself!

As expected, Zhanchou continued, “Although it transformed into Zhanyuan and from any angle, it looks exactly like Zhanyuan, but our two brothers' souls have been connected since we were young.”

It thought it could fool me, but I'm very clear, it isn't Jiang Yuan at all, it's just occupying Jiang Yuan's body!

“However, I'm not its match, so I can only pretend to be ignorant and, as it demanded, bring you here!”

Ginger Cloud had seen the souls of Zhan Chou with her own eyes, and indeed, they were linked together like those of his brother.

And this special soul also caused that demon beast, despite becoming a vengeful spirit, to fail in concealing itself from the righteous vengeance.

It turns out, Zhan Chou's return here was entirely for the purpose of rescuing his brother.

Ginger Cloud shook his head and said, "Even if you know it's not your brother, since your brother had his soul taken by it, he might as well be dead!"

"No!" Zhan Chou said word by word, heavily: "My brother is not dead!"

Not dead

Ginger furrowed her brows, and couldn't help but think of Changlizi and Gesong.

With my own eyes and with divine senses, I have carefully observed the soul-stealing arts of demonic beasts. They are extremely thorough.

A human's body would first transform into a monster, then turn back into a human, like being reborn. How is it possible to be alive

But soon Ginger Cloud understood that Zhan Yuan was indeed not dead.

Because the two brothers' souls were pieced together, each half belonging to one person, even if their souls were taken away, both brothers still had half of their soul alive!

Jiang Yun frowned and said, "Even if your brother didn't die, even if you killed the monster beast, the half of your soul that was taken by it would certainly be unrecoverable!"

"That's you guys!"

A triumphant expression suddenly appeared on Zhan Chou's face as he said, "Our brothers' souls are very special. They can't be completely taken away!"

Otherwise, why would it let me leave and go find you all to enter here again

Jian Chou's words suddenly made Jiang Yun realize.

If that demonic beast really succeeded in seizing Jiang Yuan's soul, it should have been able to gain complete freedom like Chang Li Zi, breaking free from its confinement and no longer needing to cooperate with Jiang Chou. There would be no need for Jiang Chou to find others for it anymore.

"Now you understand, don't you! As long as you agree to help me kill it, I won't attack you now!"

Ginger nodded and said, "Understood! But even if I agree to help you, aren't you afraid that I might go back on my word"

Jan Ch'u chuckled darkly and said, "I haven't finished explaining the second path I offered you just now!"

They made me capture you alive, so I'm taking you back alive.

"However, I can refrain from imposing any seals or restrictions on you. In fact, I can even provide you with abundant spirit stones, elixirs, and magical artifacts to help you recover your vitality and return to your peak state."ntrols the five clans' sacred artifacts as if they were an extension of his own limbs, effortlessly and naturally, in reality, each time he manipulates a sacred artifact, it is a super-loaded act for...
