Chapter 322: Revenge! Revenge!
“Everyone eagerly asked: What’s the plan?” Fifth Melancholy replied, “Everyone knows how to use the heart-linked divine skill; I believe we all remember how it works.”
“Everyone nodded in agreement.” Fifth Melancholy continued anxiously, “We can’t be sealed forever like this. He needs our spirit, so he must extract it during the process; but once extracted, although it’s just the spirit and has no offensive power, we will at least have a brief moment of freedom.”
“Everyone nodded.” Fifth Melancholy added, “I suspect that if he manages to eliminate us, then the heavenly restoration will take place in nine locations! Moreover, we need to be sent into each of our respective spots. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do it this way.”
“Fifth Melancholy stated: There are exactly nine of us, which means one person must occupy the central position. We don’t know who that is—maybe you, maybe me. But in the end, it will be one of our spirits. Right now, we only have a brief moment—the instant he makes his move to send us in, we will break free from his control. During that time, each of us must memorize our positions; the eight people on the sides can, during that fleeting moment, channel their spiritual power into the central position as purely as possible! We must contribute as much as we can!”
“At that moment, Fifth Melancholy stated: Since it’s spirit restoration, it requires the power of the spirit. For the spirit to have power, it must not shatter. Therefore, only the person with the strongest spirit power will have even the slightest chance of survival. What we’re doing is also a gamble; we don’t know if it will work, but this is our only chance!”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang couldn’t help but praise, “As expected of someone from the fifth family, to think of such a strategy in times like this.”
Zixie Qing also nodded in agreement.
At such a moment when anyone would just wait for death, Fifth Melancholy had clearly already formulated a plan. He must have thought it through while the Nine Calamity Sword Master was speaking, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so organized.
To maintain such a clear mind in that moment, this Fifth Melancholy was undoubtedly a top talent in the world!
“At that time, my brothers all said that no matter who this person is, as long as there’s a slight chance to escape, as long as we can survive, we must avenge our brothers! At all costs!”
“Fifth Melancholy said: Now, everyone stop talking, put all our efforts into nurturing our spirits, and don’t get angry.”
“Anger would scatter the spirits, and we wouldn’t be able to provide more help to our brother in the center. Everyone, close your eyes.”
Then we all closed our eyes, wholeheartedly stabilizing our spirit realm... Hehe, at that time, although I had no cultivation level, I could feel that my brothers were all fighting with all their might! Like never before, just for the critical moment to channel their spirit power to their brother! Just for that slim chance of survival.”
The Law Sovereign spoke mournfully, his eyes reddening, blood spilling from his mouth, but this time, he didn’t wipe it away. He said in a low voice, “Sure enough, after a while, he returned to speak with us, but none of us paid him any attention. He found it boring too, and used some drug, after which we fell unconscious. When we awoke again, we found ourselves in a strange place. In the void, strange sounds emitted, and slowly, nine mysterious openings appeared.”
“Then that bastard unhesitatingly grabbed us, destroying our physical bodies one by one and extracting our spirits. We didn’t say a word, just managed to exchange one last glance with each other in those final moments. At the last moment, Fifth Melancholy said one sentence before his head was shattered, and that sentence was: Remember! Then that person, that person killed us, gathering our spirits together, and flung them out. And I suddenly realized that I had entered the central opening!”
