Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

The situation of those two outer disciples corrupted by demonic practices is nothing new; they simply couldn't cultivate diligently on their own and, unable to bear it any longer, chose to use some recently circulated evil methods to cultivate.

They haven't even made contact with the demonic forces yet; they've only cultivated a set of evil techniques.

But this does not mean they are innocent. After all, most of these evil spells require the harm of living beings to succeed, which is absolutely against the rules of Changchun Palace.

And when those who follow the demonic path come knocking, they will definitely be the type to easily switch sides.

For those who have committed evil deeds, Master Xuan Yin's method of dealing with them is very simple: kill them to end it all.

The difficult situation involves another person whose soul is shaped like an ink blob. While he does have a human body, his soul is anything but human.

"Could it be that some kind of demon has possessed this disciple?"

Elder Chen guessed.

Master Xuan Yin, the Fisherman, Master Xuan Ding, and other highly skilled figures all shook their heads.

Master Xuan Yin explained, "When Bai Chen told me about this, I used my divine sense to examine these disciples, and they all seemed normal... Of course, the two disciples who learned demonic arts, although they hid well, have already been discovered."

"If that disciple is possessed by a demon, the alien soul will also affect the physical body, causing some abnormal changes... This is something that absolutely cannot be hidden from me."

"But that disciple is perfectly normal; his body is that of a human, only his soul..."

Su Baichen, who did possess memories of his past life, suddenly interjected while listening nearby, "Could it be that some kind of anomaly was reincarnated into a human body, but still retained the memories of its previous incarnation?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanyin nodded repeatedly and said, "If that's the case, then it makes sense."

"But what kind of anomalies are these, capable of retaining memories and entering reincarnation, and there seem to be quite a few of them..."

Su Baichen felt slightly guilty; he seemed to belong to this kind of oddball as well.

However, he didn't need to worry. After all, with the Soul-Suppressing Sword, a sword of humane protection, he wasn't flustered at all.

Besides, even if he retained his memories of his past life, he was still a human being. These aliens didn't even have physical forms; they were completely different from him.

The old fisherman had seen more of the world, and he said, "My master told me that a thousand years ago there was a strange change in the heavens and earth, and it seemed that another world was getting closer to ours."

"I heard that everyone in the cultivation world was on edge at the time, and even prepared for a major battle. But nothing happened afterward, and people gradually forgot about it."

"Only a few major sects still retain this part of the record, and my master was the one who inherited this record back then, and he also told me about it."

Master Xuan Yin asked in astonishment, "Does Master Uncle believe that these indescribable things come from another world a thousand years ago?"

The fisherman hurriedly said, "I'm just bringing this up for everyone to discuss; I can't be sure if that's really the case."

Everyone nodded in understanding, but after another discussion, they came to no avail. In the end, they could only wait for Master Xuan Yin to interrogate them with the Soul-Suppressing Bell.

This soul-suppressing bell is not a torture device, but it does have the effect of suppressing the will of spirits and making them obedient.

but……

This feature stopped working at this time.

That strange spirit has been resisting the suppression of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, or rather, the suppression of the Soul-Suppressing Bell has little effect on it.

"The black cage was ineffective against it just now. Is it because its mode of perception is different from that of humans, or rather, most living beings in this world?"

Su Baichen offered his own guess.

Master Xuan Yin nodded: "That makes sense. In that case, we'll have to resort to some drastic measures..."

As he spoke, yin energy gathered in his hands, and a faint aura of malevolence emerged.

The fisherman, seeing this, understood: "Are you preparing to use the 'Soul-Searching Spell' from the 'Netherworld Curses'? Well, this thing won't listen to reason, so we'll have to use force."

Xuan Yin Zhenren's hand landed on the ink stain, and the indescribable spiritual entity began to fluctuate violently.

But a moment later, it suddenly exploded!

"Master?"

Su Baichen quickly stepped forward to support Xuan Yin Zhenren.

He was good at observing the weather and clearly sensed that Xuan Yin Zhenren's primordial spirit had weakened somewhat.

Xuan Yin Zhenren regained his balance with the help of the support, patted Su Baichen's shoulder reassuringly, and then looked at everyone and said, "This spirit body may be called a strange soul, and the person possessed by a strange soul can be called a strange person."

"They did indeed descend from that other world a thousand years ago."

"But how many of them came, and what their purpose was, remains unknown... These strange souls are incredibly tenacious; they even managed to self-destruct during the soul search..."

Seeing this, Master Xuanding quickly said, "Junior brother, rest quickly. Your primordial spirit has been injured, so don't let it shake your foundation."

The old fisherman also expressed his concern: "Sect Master, we cannot be careless about the matter of the primordial spirit. You are just one step away from achieving the Yang God, so don't stumble at this crucial moment."

Other disciples also expressed their concern.

Seeing this, Su Baichen felt quite heartwarming, thinking that although Changchun Palace was divided into five sects, the relationship between these first-generation disciples was really good.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he said, "Master, fellow disciples, I think that the closure of Changchun Palace for two hundred years back then might not have been a bad thing?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then some of the quick-thinking ones showed expressions of sudden realization.

Guanlan Sword Lady was the first to agree: "I see. The two hundred years of closure of the mountain did indeed prevent us from moving around in the cultivation world, and even the recruitment of disciples stopped. It wasn't until several decades ago that we resumed recruiting disciples."

"But precisely because of this, it greatly slowed down the encroachment of those supernatural beings on our Changchun Palace!"

Master Xuan Yin chuckled upon hearing this: "So, in the future, when recruiting disciples, my Bai Chen will have to be the examiner?"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter and jokes... and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They realized that, at least, the people they knew were unlikely to be superhumans. As for the second-generation disciples…

It can only be said that they were already mentally prepared to lose some disciples.

However, just as Su Baichen was feeling extremely troubled about his future busyness, another elder of the Five Elements Sect suddenly whispered, "Perhaps there's no need for Junior Nephew Baichen to go through so much trouble?"

Although the sound was soft, everyone present stopped and looked over.

The speaker was a young girl who looked very young... but she was actually a disciple of the Five Elements Sect and Su Baichen's senior uncle.

"Junior Sister Xuan Yuzi, do you have any good ideas?"

The black fish looked like a mischievous little girl, innocent yet clever and mischievous.

She said, "I see that my nephew's illusion magic can find other souls, and the key is that it can directly reveal the appearance of a person's soul."

"In that case, we should be able to do it by studying Taoist methods specifically designed for this purpose, right?"

Everyone was immediately inspired by what they heard.

Su Baichen nodded repeatedly, offering his ideas: "For example, are there any magical artifacts that can directly reflect a person's soul or illuminate their past lives?"

"Or a way to temporarily separate the soul from the body."

"Or perhaps we could create an illusion to lure the Inhuman into revealing a weakness..."

Everyone was stunned, never expecting Su Baichen to come up with such quick wit in order to slack off.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense... Since we already know where the problem lies, we can always come up with a targeted solution.
