Chapter 256: The Guardian of the Holy Soul, the Secret in the Abyss of Evil

"Hu~~~"

Zhang Chenran looked up at the clear sky, his distracted eyes revealing something he was thinking about.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Li Yun suddenly jumped out from behind and patted his shoulder.

Zhang Chenran shuddered violently, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock just now:

"You scared me!"

"What's wrong? Did you do something bad to scare me like this?" Li Yun blinked and stared at him with sharp eyes.

The corner of Zhang Chenran's mouth twitched slightly.

Seeing him like this, Li Yun couldn't help but laugh:

"I was just kidding you!"

Although he is already thirty years old, his mentality is like that of a girl in her early twenties, without any dignity of a military general.

From her, Zhang Chenran vaguely saw the shadow of Jiang Yinyun.

"What are your plans next? Go back to the ancient capital directly? Or take a rest in the military area?" Li Yun asked.

"I want to rest in the military area for a few days and then go to the Taklamakan Desert." Zhang Chenran expressed his plan.

"Taklamakan Desert?" Li Yun was puzzled at first, then suddenly understood.

After the catastrophe in the ancient capital, Zhan Kong chose to go to the Taklamakan Desert for training. No one knows how he is doing now.

...…

Late at night, in a dim room in the Central Military District barracks.

Zhang Chenran lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, closed his eyes and let his consciousness wander into the shadow world.

In front of the palace of the shadow world, the slender and graceful figure was trapped within a ten-meter radius of the tiger wing statue.

The Parthenon spirit has not completely given up. She wants to break free from the restraints and leave this shadow world.

But every time she struggled, she was tortured and whipped again and again!

As if knowing that she could not escape, the slender figure transformed by the soul curled up on the ground, staring quietly at the tiger wing statue.

"What's wrong with her?" Zhang Chenran pointed at the Parthenon soul and asked.

"Are you scared of being beaten?" The Queen of Nine Netherworld had a playful look on her beautiful face, and she was holding a dark red soul vine in her hand.

"Can you beat her?" Zhang Chenran asked in surprise.

"King, I don't have that ability. It is this thing that has been suppressing my soul."

Queen Jiuyou pointed at the tiger wings statue, saying that she was just a weak woman and there was no way she could suppress the famous Parthenon spirit.

Zhang Chenran was even more confused. He walked to the tiger wing statue and knocked on the tiger's head:

"Little Tiger, are you interested in the spirit?"

A blood-colored wave emanated from the tiger statue. Zhang Chenran knew that it was angry and did not touch it again.

Why is he so irritable recently? There was no movement in the past year or so. Zhang Chenran was puzzled, but without thinking too much, he walked straight towards the Parthenon Soul.

Parthenon's soul had an extremely slender figure, with an unusual proportion between waist and legs, unlike that of an ordinary person. Her dark hair, which was long enough to reach her calves, was scattered on the ground in a messy manner

. When she saw Zhang Chenran walking towards her, her soul swayed slightly, and she was very frightened.

Originally, she was already attached to the most perfect carrier.

Unexpectedly, this young man who showed up unexpectedly not only separated her, but also dragged her into this shadow world that was completely isolated from the magical plane.

She had been washed by darkness countless times in the past two days. The divinity and light she emanated had become so dim that even the darkness could not dispel it. The

Parthenon spirit curled up ten meters away from the tiger statue, which was the farthest distance she could run.

Suddenly, dark tentacles extended from the dark sky above, bound her limbs and body, and forcibly hung her up.

Zhang Chenran stood in front of her, trying to integrate his dark seed into her soul.

The moment the seed entered the body of the divine shadow, it was purified by the divine energy!

Although the divine aura on Parthenon's soul's exterior has been worn away by darkness, the sacred energy within her still exists.

Every time a dark aura tries to invade the soul's body, the Parthenon soul seems to summon a powerful knight's holy soul to protect it.

"Twelve Guardian Holy Souls?" Zhang Chenran frowned deeply. He didn't have so many Shadow Origins to control these Holy Souls now.

Moreover, these holy souls are extremely powerful. With the Shadow Origin power that he currently controls, he can control at most two holy souls.

The power of Hades' origin can barely control one, and there are only three holy souls in total!

If the soul loses the protection of the Twelve Holy Souls, it would not take too much effort to control it.

"Things below the forbidden spell are easy, but when it comes to the forbidden spell level, I have to take care of it myself!" Zhang Chenran gave up the delusion of controlling the soul now.

"Xiaojiu, come with me to Shayuan."

Zhang Chenran's consciousness wandered and floated towards the Sha Yuan in the sky, with Jiuyou following closely behind.

In the white tomb palace in the Shayuan, a man and a ghost passed through many checkpoints and came to the Bridge of Life and Death.

"King, what are you looking for?" Queen Jiuyou asked puzzledly.

There are ten bridges, nine bridges of death and one bridge of life. In fact, the Bridge of Life leads to the Blood Throne, which is no different from death.

When Zhang Chenran first came, the nine dead bridges had already collapsed. Only now did he see all ten bridges.

Under the ten bridges was a dark and terrifying chaotic space, and the black gale was still howling!

"The Great Heavenly Seed of the Wind, the Black Scythe of Death Wind!" Zhang Chenran raised his right hand, and the arm armor of the emperor's armor flew over and he put it on his hand.

The Dead Emperor waved his hand casually, and the wildly dancing black sickle and dead wind seemed to be retracted as if a switch was pressed, and it escaped into the depths of darkness and no longer made trouble.

The dark chaos below was also dispelled, turning into dry floor tiles with some canal-like marks on them.

"King, what is this?" Jiuyou showed a look of horror, obviously, she didn't know the scene under the Bridge of Life and Death.

"Some ancient spells, meant to make you forget it, that's all I need to know."

Zhang Chenran let out a long sigh, and then the scene below changed into a dark chaotic space again.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

White jade floated out from the darkness on the left, forming a white jade road above the dark chaos.

There is no end to the road, extending into the depths of darkness.

Zhang Chenran raised his right hand wearing the arm armor of the emperor, and the darkness in front of him became hazy.

When he put down his hand, a silver mirror appeared on the jade road out of nowhere.

"Let's go."

Zhang Chenran suddenly became very familiar with everything here, so familiar that even Jiuyou felt a little strange about him.

She didn't know what was under the Jiushengyi Bridge, nor did she know about the space passage on the left.

Looking at his back as he stepped into the space mirror, Jiuyou Hou seemed to see the real king!

Queen Jiuyou came back to her senses and smiled as she had never done before:

"King, wait for your subordinates!"

Go through the mirror and arrive at another space.

While still in the chaotic space tunnel, Queen Jiuyou felt huge flows of energy.

Those energies are distributed, and each energy is hard to find even if you travel all over the magic plane.
