The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Qiongqi simply smiled at this. Then he said:
“I admit that you were quite something in the Ice Kingdom in your soul state. With your disguise, my senses really couldn’t detect you, so it’s not because of that.”

"What could be the reason? Did someone expose my location?"

Yu Wenzhou began to suspect that Qiannian had betrayed him after he had served his purpose. This was not Yu Wenzhou's fault; if it weren't for the Ice Kingdom, then it was also possible that Qiannian had exposed Yu Wenzhou.

"No, it's not that. Have you forgotten the mark I gave you?"

Qiongqi slowly revealed the truth: the truth was the soul imprint on Yu Wenzhou's body. Once imprinted by Qiongqi, it would react and send a soul signal to Qiongqi whenever Yu Wenzhou got close to Qiongqi.

So it was actually Qiongqi's soul perception that discovered Yu Wenzhou, not because Yu Wenzhou made any other mistakes.

In fact, if the soul imprint that Qiongqi placed on Yu Wenzhou was not a core soul imprint, it would not have been able to detect Yu Wenzhou.

For a thousand years, it was believed that the soul mark that Qiongqi had placed on Yu Wenzhou was still the same, the same soul mark as Chaos.

But who knew that this brand would be a soul brand in the core state? Wouldn't that be the end of us?

This cannot be blamed on Yu Wenzhou or Qiannian. They have done the best they could under the existing conditions, and there is not much room for improvement. Even if a top tactical master came, he would not be able to find a better way.

"So, this tactic was never going to work from the start."

Yu Wenzhou gave a wry smile. Yu Wenzhou seemed to be the best executor, but only seemed to be the best executor of this plan.

But in fact, Yu Wenzhou was the one least capable of carrying out this plan. Now Yu Wenzhou understands why he is so talented in the skill of soul separation, and even why he is so talented in the way of the soul.

Even if Yu Wenzhou is truly talented, he shouldn't be able to learn this quickly.

It was too late for Yu Wenzhou to realize something was wrong. He now knew how he acquired his soul talent, and he wouldn't believe it if you said that Qiongqi's soul imprint hadn't played a part in it.

Yu Wenzhou knew how powerful Qiongqi's soul was. A powerful soul can influence a weak one. Even though Yu Wenzhou's soul was powerful compared to that of a normal person, it was still too small compared to Qiongqi's soul.

Qiongqi's soul is of the same type as Mo Qian's soul; both are the souls of kings, capable of suppressing other souls.

However, Qiongqi would never foolishly burn its own soul like Mo Qian, which is the difference between them. Qiongqi only seeks its own benefit and has no weaknesses.
As for Mo Qian's weaknesses, there are simply too many to count; Qiongqi has already spotted several of them.

“A man with a weakness is destined to fail. Don’t you understand this principle yet, Yu Wenzhou?”

Qiongqi actually liked Yu Wenzhou quite a bit, so he didn't want to lose this little apprentice. It had only been a short time since he took him in. But if he didn't get rid of Yu Wenzhou, wouldn't that be like planting a time bomb next to himself?
"No, can't you just stay right behind me? Why do you always want to run around?"

Qiongqi really couldn't understand Yu Wenzhou. He could have enjoyed wealth and honor simply by being his disciple, but Yu Wenzhou was unwilling. He wanted to steal Mo Qian's soul and even took another little soul along the way.

"You know, some birds can't be caged." Qiongqi was stunned by Yu Wenzhou's words. The words sounded so familiar; someone had said the same thing to him before.

Qiongqi was once a prisoner in a prison on one of the dozen or so levels. At that time, someone suggested that we break out of prison.

Then, Qiongqi began his escape plan. Unlike the others, Qiongqi didn't just foolishly rush out, which would only result in him being caught.

Qiongqi chose a way to escape from prison that no one had ever thought of. Only one old man saw this method, but the old man did not choose to report Qiongqi because he also wanted to know whether digging a tunnel would work.

When people get old, they can clearly feel how much of their life they have left. When the tunnel in Qiongqi was dug, he originally wanted to take the old man with him.

Because when Qiongqi was digging the tunnel, this old man was always the one keeping watch for Qiongqi. At first, Qiongqi didn't believe that this little old man could help him keep watch, but after seeing the little old man kill a mosquito with one hand, Qiongqi no longer doubted him.

This level of eyesight is something that normal people don't possess.

However, Qiongqi's tunnel was still discovered. When the prison guards were about to capture Qiongqi, the old man burned his soul and risked his last bit of life to stop the guards.

The old man's last words to Qiongqi were:

"Some birds can't be caged."

Since Qiongqi was able to escape from the most difficult prison to escape from among the first twenty levels, he must have something special.

Yu Wenzhou's words reminded Qiongqi of his own past, and Qiongqi smiled slightly:
"The old friend is gone, there's no need to dwell on it too much. Yu Wenzhou, are you sure you want these two souls?"

Qiongqi didn't really care. The reason he kept Mo Qian and the girl's souls was purely for fun. Wasn't Qiongqi keeping these two souls until now just waiting for Yu Wenzhou to come and take them?

However, Qiongqi did not expect that this day would come so soon.

Afterwards, Yu Wenzhou made some kind of deal with Qiongqi, but in the end, Yu Wenzhou obtained Xiao Aixin's soul and Mo Qian's memories and soul.

"Yu Wenzhou, you're finally back! Did anything go wrong? Did you get the soul? Say something, you're driving me crazy!"

Upon seeing Yu Wenzhou return, Qiannian immediately launched into a barrage of three deadly questions, seemingly determined to get to the bottom of things.

However, Yu Wenzhou has been in a daze ever since he returned. He is still wondering why Qiongqi did this and let him go. This makes Yu Wenzhou feel very uncomfortable.

"The soul is in our hands. But..."

Upon hearing that the soul was in his grasp, Qiannian didn't even give Yu Wenzhou time to react before embracing him and beginning to emotionally manipulate him:
"I knew it, I hadn't misjudged you. In my thousand-year life, I've misjudged many people." (End of Chapter)
