Like a Swallow Returning

Chapter 435: Just Like the Return of a Swallow

Qin Mu suppressed his uneasiness, shifted his gaze away from Granny Si, and then saw the butcher standing on a star with his knife in hand.

The butcher was a big man, and he didn't move even with his two knives together.

He saw the hermit Qingyou again. This hermit was holding a whisk at his elbow and sitting cross-legged. The place where he was sitting was also a star.

Then, Qin Mu saw the mute, who was standing on a flaming star among the Daluo stars.

Qin Mu's heart twitched violently and he almost vomited blood. He moved his eyes with difficulty and saw Imperial Master Yankang.

Master Yankang was sitting on the Zhen Ding, and below the Zhen Ding was also a star of the Daluo Tianxing.

Qin Mu moved away from him and saw the Gray Fairy, the Fox Fairy, and the other people in the Daluo Star. The lame man and the pharmacist were sitting on one of the stars, and the pharmacist's wound was still bleeding. The blind man was leaning on a bamboo stick with his head down, and there was also a star under his feet.

There is also the Buddha-like Ma Ye, the deaf man holding a paintbrush, the Wing King holding a winged knife, and the Kun King with horns on his head. They are also among the Daluo Tianxing that burst out from Granny Si's palm, each standing on a star.

"Where's sister Jing? Why isn't she here?"

Qin Mu looked around hurriedly, trying to find Yan Jingjing's trace.

"Even the solar boat couldn't stop the gods from above?"

Suddenly, a bright light swept over, and Qin Mu saw a sun. Half of the sun was black. When the sun was rotating, the light shone towards this side, but soon turned to other directions.

The solar boat was extremely large in the dark, and its hull was blocked by a mountain, but one could still vaguely see the light emanating from the other side of the mountain.

However, there was no movement in the Sun Boat, and no breath could be sensed.

Qin Mu's heart suddenly sank. Hu Ling'er said, "Sir, I didn't see Huang Xian and Tu Xingfeng..."

Qin Mu calmed himself and continued to open his eyes. Two rays of divine light shot out from his eyes and shone around. He saw a god from heaven standing in the air behind Granny Si, with his hand and sword pointing at the back of Granny Si's head.

However, this deity was fixed in the air, motionless.

Then he saw another deity, the Flower Goddess from heaven, a woman with flowers blooming under her feet, covering the entire sky, as if these flowers had grown from the sky. She stood in one of the flowers, upside down, as if she was walking in the sky, attacking the Daluo Tianxing force field.

However, she seemed to be still in the air, motionless.

Qin Mu saw a third god. Above the Sun Boat, a god flapped its wings and stretched out its claws, as if attacking someone on the boat. However, he was also fixed in the air.

Qin Mu looked further away and saw other gods in heaven. These gods had different postures. They must have suddenly stopped in the middle of the battle. None of them could move.

"Are they dead?"

Qin Mu wanted to calm down, but he couldn't. This scene was too weird. Everyone was standing there motionless, as if time had stopped. However, if time had stopped here, why were Qin Mu and the others not affected?

"My Lord, they should all still be alive."

The Jiao King God suddenly said: "I can still sense their breath, and their breathing is still very long. Only a few of them have lost their breath. The strange thing is that their souls are not in their bodies. It seems that their souls were suddenly pulled out of their bodies during the battle..."

Qin Mu was slightly startled: "The soul was pulled out of the body?"

The Jiao King God nodded and said, "There is no soul in these bodies. I saw that Granny Si and Imperial Master Yankang's formation should be a soul formation. The magical power suddenly burst out and forcibly dragged the souls of everyone around them out of their bodies. According to my guess, they may have suffered too many casualties, so they plan to fight with their souls."

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relieved: "They are not dead, but they are fighting with the help of their souls... Jiao Wangshen, you are knowledgeable, do you know where their souls have gone?"

The Jiao King said: "The speed of the soul is extremely fast. It can travel tens of thousands of miles in a moment and come and go in the void. Their souls should not be here. As for where they are, it is not something I can know."

Qin Mu was stunned, and suddenly asked in a hoarse voice: "Which people have lost their breath?"

The Jiao King God pointed to the pharmacist in the Daluo Tianxing, then to the lame man, and then to the deaf man, King Kun, and the Gray Fairy.

Qin Mu's heart was getting heavier and heavier. The Jiao King God whispered, "There are also several gods from heaven who have lost their breath. They must have been defeated in the battle of their primordial spirits..."

Qin Mu's face was gloomy. He stood up and walked to the sun boat. He saw that everyone on the sun boat was frozen in place, motionless. Apparently, when Granny Si and the others used the Yuanshen formation, they took away the Yuanshen of everyone around them, whether human or god, in one wave!

"Young Master..."

Hu Ling'er looked at Qin Mu's face, feeling a little uneasy, and said, "Master, they..."

“They won’t die.”

Qin Mu closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again, and said in a deep voice: "Jiao Wangshen, you also possess me and lend me your magic power. I will use the magic power of gods and demons to perform soul-pulling! As long as their souls are not extinguished, I can summon their souls!"

The Jiao King God hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, your body may not be able to withstand my magic power. I am different from these Jiaolongs. I am a god, and they are not. You can borrow their magic power, and your Divine Bridge and Divine Treasure can still withstand it. However, if you borrow my magic power, the Divine Bridge and Divine Treasure will not be able to enter the next realm because the Divine Bridge is broken, and it will only burst the Divine Bridge and Divine Treasure..."

Qin Mu said decisively: "If I tell you to take over, then take over!"

The Jiao King God had no choice but to put down the bodies of the old Taoist master, the old Tathagata and others, and said: "My lord, I will transform into a big dragon and lie on your spine to support your body so that you will not be blown up. But I cannot protect the divine treasure. If my lord cannot bear it, just say so and I will take back the magic power."

"Upper body!"

The form of the Dragon King God shrank rapidly and turned into a sapphire-blue thin dragon about ten feet long. It stuck to Qin Mu's back with a swish. The dragon god gradually disappeared and turned into a sapphire-blue dragon mark on Qin Mu's back, like a tattoo.

Qin Mu activated the Dragon Taming Art, and the magic power of the group of dragons was immediately borrowed by him. There were bang sounds coming from his body, and the Seven Star Divine Treasures, Heaven and Man Divine Treasures, Life and Death Divine Treasures and Divine Bridge Divine Treasures were opened one after another!

The magic power of the group of dragons was already extremely powerful, filling his divine bridge. Then he mobilized the magic power of the Dragon King God, and immediately the powerful magic power broke through the divine bridge and reached the heaven!

Qin Mu's soul was impacted by this magical power and crossed over the divine bridge to the other side. He was lifted up by the violent magical power and headed towards the Heavenly Palace.

However, the magical power of the Dragon King God was not enough to support him to reach the Heavenly Palace in the Heavenly Palace, so he stopped at the South Gate of the Heavenly Palace, which could only be regarded as the entry level.

"My lord's divine bridge is not broken!"

The Dragon King God was inexplicably shocked, but at this moment, Qin Mu summoned his powerful magic power, and obscure magic words came out of his mouth, urging the soul to lead!

Soul-pulling is the magic of the Jiuyou Sect. It is not considered a great magical power in the Yankang Kingdom. However, this magical power once caused great unrest.

When Qin Mu entered Tai Academy to learn martial arts and magical powers, he did not choose any powerful magical powers, but the soul-leading and ghost-controlling talismans and spells, believing that these two spells were very magical and could exert unexpected power.

The talisman for summoning ghosts and gods is a magic spell left by the Demon King Dutian in Yankang State. He planned to use this magic to occupy Yankang and immigrate to this world.

The origin of the Soul-Pulling Spell is probably not a spell that could be created by the Jiuyou Sect. This spell seems to be related to Youdu. Qin Mu once suspected that this spell is very likely to come from Youdu and is a spell related to Youdu souls.

However, he didn't know much about the Youdu language, nor about the mysterious Youdu world, so he failed to develop this magic to its full potential.

But even so, his attainments in soul-pulling have far surpassed those of the Jiuyou Sect back then!

"Open the Gate of Chengtian!"

Qin Mu shouted loudly, and suddenly a terrifying portal opened behind him. His magic power was violent, and the Chengtian Gate became abnormally tall. The portal was hundreds of feet long, and when the two doors opened, the dark world of Youdu suddenly appeared. The rolling devil energy poured out from the darkness and invaded the darkness of Daxu, filled with an aura that made ghosts and gods tremble!

It is simply impossible for the Nine Nether Sect's masters to refine the Chengtian Gate. They just use the soul-pulling spell to form a portal connecting to the Nether City. But Qin Mu can do it. The Chengtian Gate he refined is the authentic Chengtian Gate!

After the portal was opened, the soul-pulling spell suddenly exploded with power. Talismans emitting faint light rushed into the underworld from the portal. Then the light of the talismans shone, creating a road in the darkness, like a floating bridge in the darkness, extending continuously into the depths!

After a while, suddenly rocks flew around, and dry bones emerged from the ground, dancing and clapping.

More dead bones stood up on the ground. This strange power even spread to Daxu and Yankang Kingdom. The ground of Daxu and Yankang kept rising. All kinds of corpses and dead bones poured out of the ground. The skulls opened and closed their mouths, trying to speak but no sound came out.

Qin Mu frowned. He was drawing more and more souls from Youdu, but they were all the souls of living beings who died nearby. He did not draw the souls of the pharmacist, the cripple and others!

"They're not in Youdu? No matter what captured you, I'm going to find you!"

Qin Mu gritted his teeth and roared. The Gate of Heaven suddenly expanded, and the power of the soul-drawing spell soared: "Grandpa Pharmacist, give me your soul back——"

"The front is Fengdu."

In the world of the dead, a god with a human body and a bird's head led the way and said to the medicine master, the lame man, the deaf man and others: "Your old friend is waiting for you on the Naihe Bridge."

"Old friend?"

The pharmacist was at a loss, and asked, "What old friend?"

The bird-headed deity smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."

When they arrived at the Naihe Bridge, the pharmacist, the cripple and the others were stunned. They saw the village chief with all his limbs standing in the middle of the bridge. He smiled and said, "Everyone, we'll meet on the Naihe Bridge. You guys..."

Before he finished speaking, a black fog suddenly surged under the Naihe Bridge, and a huge whirlpool emerged. A roar came from the whirlpool: "Grandpa Pharmacist, return my soul to me!"

The pharmacist, Lame Man and others on the bridge suddenly felt dizzy and were pulled off the bridge into the whirlpool by the strange force, falling into the depths of the whirlpool!

A majestic and angry shout was heard from Fengdu City: "Who is this evildoer who dares to stir up trouble in Fengdu?"

The huge figure of the King of Hell rose slowly, and he leaned over to look into the whirlpool under the bridge, and saw Qin Mu's face in the deepest part of the whirlpool.

The King of Hell was slightly startled.
