Emperor Sovereign Martial Soul

2Along the way, the four of them were finally able to clearly see what the world around them looked like. In the midst of the rotting branches, leaves, and soil, human bones and various weapons were scattered everywhere. They had long since been corroded beyond recognition.    

    

Battlefield!    

    

This was the ancient battlefield.    

    

Everyone had an answer in their hearts.    

    

Perhaps a long, long time ago, an apocalyptic war broke out here, and in the end, mountains and rivers were shattered and flattened, turning into an apocalyptic scene filled with potholes.    

    

As the world in front of him was originally a small world without Yin and Yang, the laws of this world had been broken in the midst of that devastating war, resulting in the scene of decay and corruption in front of him.    

    

"If I'm not mistaken, a change happened ten thousand years ago in the Venerable Family of Incense Seeker. An apocalyptic war broke out, causing the entire clan to disappear."    

    

Wu Hao did not turn around, but instead slowly opened his mouth and spoke to the people behind him: "Perhaps they are facing a strong enemy, and knowing that they will definitely lose this battle, they did not want their entire Venerable Family of Incense Seeker to fall into the hands of a strong enemy, and break off a world. At the same time, they also laid an array formation inside the ancient city, and as long as they covet it, they would perish along with the world!"    

    

This kind of analysis shocked the three people behind him.    

    

If that was the case, then everything was explained.    

    

The remnants of the Cloud Mountain...    

    

Venerable Family of Incense Seeker's Inhibition Formation.    

    

"Perhaps, the map in your hands was intentionally released by someone. It is designed to help you all find the true Venerable Family of Incense Seeker!"    

    

Wu Hao immediately followed up with another conjecture that caused their faces to change.    

    

"Second Young Master, are you saying that the Old Sheep Scroll was deliberately released by someone, and is extremely likely to be a strong enemy that annihilated the entire Venerable Family of Incense Seeker?" These words were asked by the coachman with a solemn tone.    

    

Wu Hao stopped and turned to look at them.    

    

After a long time.    

    

"This is just a guess of mine, it had to be like this. It has long since disappeared with the passing of time, but I am sure of one thing, this strong enemy seems to be trying to obtain or destroy something from the Venerable Family of Incense Seeker."    

    

"It's impossible for such a huge clan to provoke the annihilation of the entire clan for no reason at all. That strong enemy did not hesitate to destroy the clan. He must have a request, so …"    

    

At this point, he did not continue.    

    

This was because a shrill sound that sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves had already come from afar. It struck their minds and caused their faces to go deathly pale.    

    

When this voice sounded out, it was accompanied by a billowing death aura that came crushing over.    

    

"Come on, follow me closely. Don't get too far away from me!" Wu Hao's face did not change, but suddenly he reminded them in a serious tone.    

    

The crowd did not know what was going on, and at the same time, they did not know what was going on. However, the atmosphere was solemn, so they did not ask.    

    

He was still slowly advancing forward, but the three people behind Wu Hao did not realize that a touch of golden light had appeared on Wu Hao's forehead, which was currently facing away from them. It formed a golden light barrier that could not be seen with the naked eye, and enveloped all of them.    

    

The area covered was one Zhang in radius, and it blocked all the death aura inside.    

    

Closer.    

    

The sound was getting closer and closer.    

    

It was as if he was a few hundred feet in front of him. Even though the time was too dim, it was still hard to tell just what was emitting this ghastly wailing and wolf howling sound.    

    

The piercing voice had an illusion, as if it was ringing in his ears.    

    

The three of them could not help but increase their pace and stood side by side with Wu Hao. The two girls stood in the middle and Wu Hao and the coachman stood on two sides.    

    

Roughly a quarter of an hour later.    

    

In front of him, he could finally see clearly.    

    

It was as though there were countless figures moving about.    

    

This scene immediately shocked the minds of the three of them.    

    

This thought suddenly appeared in his mind: "Is there anyone else here?" Aren't they all dead? "Why does this cry sound so shrill?"    

    

They didn't understand what was going on, but as they guessed at what was going on, their voices suddenly grew more shrill and the shadows in front of them grew more and more numerous.    

    

Closer.    

    

Closer.    

    

The two girls seemed to have suddenly thought of something as their faces became deathly pale. They each took out a Moonstone from their respective chests.    

    

Immediately, the Moonlight Stone shone with a gentle light, shining on the figure in front of it.    

    

Ah …    

    

Tsk tsk …    

    

Cluck, cluck …    

    

As all sorts of mournful and weird sounds became louder and louder, they finally managed to clearly see what the human figure in front of them was with the help of the gentle light from the Moonstone.    

    

That was …    

    

Streaks of greyish white shadows that were almost transparent.    

    

A group of shadows emerged from the ground, bringing with them a sea of people. They floated to this place, appearing like ghosts or demons.    

    

When had the three of them ever seen such a scene? They were so frightened by the gray shadow of the sea of people that they trembled all over.    

    

These white shadows, which were floating in the sea of people and wailing ceaselessly, were the ghosts of human beings.    

    

More accurately speaking, it was a remnant soul.    

    

When human warriors cultivated to the ectopic stage, they would gain their own Martial Spirits in their Sea of Consciousness, and this Martial Spirits controlled human consciousness.    

    

Once a martial practitioner accidentally fell and had a grudge with them, they would condense into a ghost or remnant soul and stay in the world, wandering in the darkness, unable to reincarnate.    

    

There were so many ghosts in front of him. They were definitely not formed out of hatred. The laws of this world had broken down and turned this place into a world of yin, allowing them to live here without reincarnating.    

    

Of course, there was also a high chance that it was a person who created a terrifying remnant soul that could not be reincarnated.    

    

"Second Young Master, what are these?"    

    

As a coachman who had achieved perfection in the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage, she had never seen such a ghastly thing. He could not help but ask Wu Hao as he looked at his unchanging face.    

    

As the sound of his voice faded, the gazes of the two females turned to him at the same time. At this moment, their countenances had long been drained of all color.    

    

Some were trembling all over.    

    

The aura of death had never been so dense before, as though one was in the deepest depths of hell.    

    

"Soul!"    

    

Wu Hao had only said one word, but it confirmed their guesses. As expected of the legendary ghost.    

    

"Put away your weapons and calm your hearts at the same time. Do not show any hostility towards them. Follow me closely and you will be fine!"    

    

It was only then that they noticed the golden light that was currently flashing on Wu Hao's forehead as it emitted waves of starlight. Furthermore, these ghosts did not dare to take another step forward after they were three meters away from them, and could only encircle them in a strange circle.    

    

Hearing this, the three of them felt a chill run down their spines, but they still listened to him. Putting away their weapons, they took a deep breath and calmed down.    

    

After calming down, they discovered that the eyes of the ghosts in the area were flickering with two strange green flames. They looked very demonic.    

    

At this moment, they had all stared at the golden light on Wu Hao's forehead, and had already stopped their miserable wails. On their blurry faces, an indescribable expression seemed to flash past.    

    

It was also at this time that Zhuang Mengyu and the other two suddenly felt Wu Hao's body suddenly releasing the domineering pressure that they had felt before.
