Hoo!
As the shadow of the Demon Tribe appeared, it transformed into an ugly figure of an alien race, specifically a female, exuding an endless chilling aura. Although it was merely a shadow, the appearance of this alien was astonishingly clear, with cold, greedy eyes staring at You Qianxue, shooting forth a green, covetous glow. Behind it, the original old woman had gone silent, appearing faded as if she had been dead for a long time.
"Old Yuan, what is this?" Qin Chen asked, somewhat horrified.
This person actually pulled out a soul body from their own body?
He had seen the soul bodies of the Demon Tribe before, which were just streaks of light. Although one could discern their faces, it was merely a face; however, this shadow had manifested as a member of the Demon Tribe, resembling a vividly alive silhouette, extremely clear.
Old Yuan said solemnly, "This should be the soul body of this Demon Tribe person."
"Soul body?" Qin Chen frowned, "How is that possible? Soul bodies are incredibly weak and usually appear as streaks of light; how could it take on a human form?" The reason a soul thought could manifest as a human was due to the presence of true essence within the soul thought, which formed the human shape, rather than the soul itself, which was merely an idea attached to the true essence.
The shadow of the Demon Tribe before him, composed entirely of soul, had not a trace of true essence aura, which had already surpassed Qin Chen's understanding.
"There's nothing impossible about this. When the soul reaches a certain level of strength, it can naturally manifest physically and even directly take action, invoking the forces of heaven and earth," Old Yuan affirmed.
Qin Chen was intrigued and suddenly shocked: "Could this be what the big black cat referred to as the separation of spirit and body?" The separation of spirit and body was a realm he had always aspired to reach, as only by achieving this could one resist parasitic seeds.
"Separation of spirit and body? Close enough. The souls of the Demon Tribe's soul masters are incredibly powerful, but very few can achieve such external manifestation of the soul. However, this person has directly extracted their soul, severing the connection with their original physical body; what could their goal possibly be?" Old Yuan questioned, glancing at the currently breaking through You Qianxue, suddenly focusing his gaze, "Could it be that this guy is trying to seize your little girlfriend's body?"
"Seize You Qianxue's body?" Qin Chen exclaimed, unable to believe it, "Old Yuan, is that possible? Qianxue has a silver parasitic seed within her." From what he understood, the parasitic seed could isolate all powerful beings from seizing the body, which had been verified countless times in his own experience; even the former Demon Commander Yan Mo could not easily seize him due to the parasitic seed's interference.
Old Yuan replied solemnly, "It's not impossible. Although the parasitic seed is frightening, it is not completely incapable of being seized, and it depends on the grade. If it were the golden parasitic seed in your body, I would bet that this soul master could never seize it. However, your little girlfriend only has a silver parasitic seed inside her, which makes it uncertain. After all, the silver parasitic seed is far inferior to the golden one."
"Moreover, the soul master has numerous methods and does not necessarily need to completely seize your little girlfriend. For example, the previous Yan Mo resided within the body of the Ji Family ancestor; although he did not seize his soul, he could share a body with him and wait for an opportunity to make a move."
Qin Chen felt a weight in his heart; at this moment, he was beginning to believe what Old Yuan said. Otherwise, how could the soul master enhance You Qianxue's strength so dramatically and transfer their original power to her?
If it was to seize You Qianxue, then everything made sense.
But how exactly would they do it? Qin Chen still did not understand.
