Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 124 Summoning Ritual

"Actually, I don't know if this person is good or bad, but his father is an antisocial lunatic who went bankrupt and then killed innocent people indiscriminately! The victims are all immersed in grief, and I want this person to suffer!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan recalled the news he had seen before entering and said:

"One of the '95 Double Tragedy's hit-and-run case?"

Lin Xiufeng didn't know what to say. The other part of the 1995 Double Tragedy was the Hospital Avenger Case that changed his life.

The number of casualties on both sides is not on the same scale, but the public attention they have received is much greater.

It turns out that he and Zhao Youyue were both unfortunate people who encountered a turning point in their lives on the same day.

It's truly fate that we met here.

Zhao Youyue didn't speak, but just nodded silently. She still felt lost when the matter was brought up... That person was her only way to vent her sadness!
As a result, she entered the Heavenly Martial Realm for this purpose, but this is the outcome she got!
Then, Zhao Youyue realized that she had forgotten to ask the person for information.

Even if she dies, she wants to know who that person is.

'I'll have to ask my uncle next time I see him...'

Zhao Youyue remembered something and quickly said to Lin Xiufeng:

"My uncle promised to ask around for you."

"That's great! I believe we'll hear back soon."

Lin Xiufeng felt much relieved. The help from the head of the Tianwu Group on the Dream Continent was the fastest hope he could have.

Lin Xiufeng suddenly noticed that Lin Qiru's gaze as she quietly looked at Zhao Youyue seemed to be scrutinizing her carefully...

It's like the kind of scrutiny where you suspect she's lying or pretending, and then desperately search for any trace of it.

Lin Qiru was suddenly touched by Lin Xiufeng's gaze. She turned her gaze over, gave him her usual slight smile, and then looked away, continuing to stare at Zhao Youyue.

However, the scrutiny in his eyes was gone.

Lin Xiufeng felt that Lin Qiru had been acting somewhat strangely lately compared to the past.

With everything settled, Youlin Feiyue's group officially joined Tianwu's group, and Renxing couldn't wait to return to the main camp immediately.

Lin Xiufeng, however, looked at the Lonely King Volcano and suggested:

"If a mountain erupts and water can form a water-bearing area hundreds of kilometers away, is there only one water-bearing area?"

Zhao Youyue's smile shattered Lin Xiufeng's reverie.

"Don't even think about it. The north is the area where the Heavenly Martial Corps has the most concentrated manpower. It's already been searched!"

Lin Xiufeng shook his head, put his arm around Zhao Youyue's shoulder, and smiled:
"Of course I thought of that. I mean, in the sea!"

Zhao Youyue paused for a moment, then smiled.

Yes, what about in the sea?

The Heavenly Martial Group must have searched for it as well.

However, does the Tianwu Group possess the ability to dive deep into the sea?
"Can the Tiger-Dragon King go into the sea?"

Zhao Youyue suddenly felt a little worried again.

"I didn't know if it would work, but since the soul is a body of light, it definitely will."

As soon as Lin Xiufeng finished speaking, Renxing couldn't wait to ask:

"Where is the soul of the snipe? Is it usable now?"

Lin Xiufeng originally planned to wait until he had collected more light orbs before making a move, but given the current situation, the power of the King of the Winnowing Fish was just what he needed.

Lin Xiufeng said, "It is precisely because I thought of a way for you to use the Soul Summoning Technique that I felt it was necessary to go to sea to search."

"Great! Great! I want to change! I want to change!" This has always been what Renxing has been thinking about.

Lin Xiufeng glanced at Fang Yuan, and as expected, heard him say, "I agree."

Then, looking at Lin Qiru, she also stated:

"I should have been ranked after Fangyuan and Renxing."

"Since everyone agrees, the King of Snakes' ability to summon souls will be left to its own devices."

No sooner had Lin Xiufeng finished speaking than Ren Xing said impatiently, "Then hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Alright, let's find a quiet beach first, and then you all protect me and make sure no one disturbs us."

Lin Xiufeng spoke with great seriousness, but Zhao Youyue could only roll her eyes.

After leaving the seaside base of Lone King Volcano, the group ran along the coastline for a while and found that there were guards at intervals on the beach.

After driving for over a hundred kilometers, we finally stopped patrolling.

Lin Xiufeng saw a suitable spot among the rocks and, unable to wait any longer, ran in, found a place surrounded and sheltered by the rocks, and shouted:
"Lin Xiufeng! This place is very well hidden! Quickly cast a spell!"

Fang Yuan and Lin Qiru spontaneously spread out to protect them, preventing anyone from suddenly approaching.

Before Zhao Youyue went to protect the other side, she whispered to Lin Xiufeng:

"That's enough, stop being so wicked. You've already fooled Renxing so badly."

"Shouldn't I take this opportunity to make her bow down and kowtow to me?"

Lin Xiufeng had already thought it through; this was the only chance to see someone be willful and obedient!
If I don't take advantage of her now, will I have a second chance?

"That's too much! What if Renxing finds out the truth in the future? Won't she fight you to the death?" Zhao Youyue felt sorry for her, but Lin Xiufeng, fearing she would ruin things, said:
"Okay, okay, I won't go that far."

Really?

"Mmm." Lin Xiufeng only gave an uncertain "Mmm" and quickly walked over.

Zhao Youyue simply chose a spot not far away to act as her protector, because she knew it was completely unnecessary.

Lin Xiufeng jumped onto the reef, leaping several times, but couldn't see Renxing, so she shouted:
"where?"

"Over here, over here—" The willful voice was urgent, clearly showing some nervousness.

Lin Xiufeng followed the sound and found that after jumping off the rocks, there was a passage leading inward, but looking up, even larger rocks blocked the view.

It really is a perfect natural setting for performing secret techniques.

Lin Xiufeng walked inside and praised, "This place is nice..."

Lin Xiufeng was taken aback...

He knelt down on one knee, removed all his armor, and placed it in the seawater at his feet.

She closed her eyes, tilted her head back, clasped her hands in front of her, and her face was slightly flushed.

"What are you doing! Stop staring and start casting the spell!"

"Put on your armor! Who told you you had to be naked to cast spells?!"

Lin Xiufeng turned away, feeling both amused and exasperated, thinking that she had really gotten herself into a mess with Renxing.

"Huh? Isn't that necessary? Aren't we supposed to let the mutated beast's soul play with our bodies first?"

Renxing was taken aback and hurriedly put on his armor.

"What are you thinking? Mutant beasts can be interested in human bodies? That's a spell, meaning the mutant beast's soul needs a body as a vessel!"

"I was wondering how you could bear to let Zhao Youyue make such a huge sacrifice, and I was also wondering how she could withstand such a huge mutated beast..."

After realizing what had happened, Renxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"No way! What's going on in your head? Wait a minute—you understand it this way, and you're still willing?"

Lin Xiufeng felt that this was the most shocking thing for him.

"I thought, you and Zhao Youyue are going to such lengths for the power of soul summoning, so of course I have to get through this too!"

He impulsively put on the armor, then, remembering his earlier embarrassment, suddenly became angry and said:

"Lin Xiufeng, you bastard! Why didn't you explain earlier! You've taken advantage of me for nothing!"

"Hey! I mean, the moment I arrived you were kneeling on the ground, practically begging to be kowtowing. Are you blaming me? I've realized you might not be suited for soul summoning magic..."

"No, no, no! It's my fault! It's all my fault!"

Her willful nature was instantly humbled; it seemed that only this matter could make her so submissive.

"I feel like I have your Achilles' heel, and I can manipulate you at will. Tell me, how should I seize this opportunity?"

Lin Xiufeng was relaxed and in no hurry at all.

"...What the hell? You scumbag, all you've got is a desire to take advantage of me! Let me tell you! If you dare threaten me with my innocence, I'll definitely tell Zhao Youyue!"

"You'd be willing even if you weren't a monster?" Lin Xiufeng teased her, seeing that she was getting impatient.

"Precisely because it's a monster, I'll just treat it as a tool!"

He spoke willfully, warning:

"Think it through yourself! If you use this as a condition, I'll definitely tell Zhao Youyue later!"

"So, you're still going to agree? That's not like you—you want the Soul Summoning Technique that much?"

Lin Xiufeng was genuinely surprised.

"...Stop pretending! Your clone has taken advantage of you quite a bit! Anyway, you've already gotten a little bit of a benefit, so getting a little more isn't unacceptable."

He snorted dismissively, appearing completely unconcerned.

"Please! That was just your clone saying something inappropriate, trying to provoke you into doing it, and your clone just got provoked and sat down! Don't make it sound like my clone was eyeing you for personal gain!"

Lin Xiufeng was unhappy. Although the clone was a clone, it also represented a part of his personality.

How could you be smeared!

"Ha! Hehe! Hehehe! Why try to provoke me like this? Your clone is trash! You're just after me! If it weren't for Zhao Youyue's clone watching over you, would you have stopped? Stop pretending!"

“Of course—” Lin Xiufeng raised his voice and said confidently, “—I can’t hold back anymore.”

"Ha! Hehe! Hehehe!" He was extremely sarcastic and mocking.

"It was just a matter of politeness; if I had stopped right away, wouldn't it have been disrespectful?"

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you, hurry up and start the soul summoning spell! Tell me what you want! I've already made the consequences clear, I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Impulsive and willful urging.

"Yes, yes, I know you're not someone to mess with, so I'm scared and have no choice but to grant your wish unconditionally."

Lin Xiufeng stopped being playful and picked up the King of Winners with a serious expression.
