Chapter 895: Chapter 54: The Young Lady of Sky City
"Senior? Senior?!" He Ling grew more anxious, constantly calling out to the soul remnant in the necklace.
"Surrender? Just based on you?" At this moment, a sinister voice suddenly echoed.
A black shadow emerged from the necklace on He Ling’s chest, floating above him and looking down at everyone.
"Even though I, Han Le, failed to ascend, I was the first in thousands of years to attempt ascension. No one else has even attempted since. You actually want to meddle with me?" Han Le said mockingly.
The Sect Master of Cangyuan Sect didn’t look at Han Le, but rather at He Ling with deep regret, asking in a stern voice, "He Ling, I ask you, are those matters with the demon cultivators your doing?"
He Ling opened his mouth, trying to say something, but nothing came out. At this point, what was there left to say?
"You are merely a soul remnant, yet you dare to speak such empty words." The Great Elder waved his hand, "No need for nonsense."
The next moment, Han Le’s actions shocked everyone, causing them to halt their advance.
Because Han Le directly entered He Ling’s spirit platform.
"Senior, what are you doing?" He Ling shouted out in pain.
"A spirit root without an attribute cannot be possessed; I just have to make do with yours for now." Han Le said with great reluctance. Originally, he never intended to possess He Ling because He Ling’s spirit root was fire-attributed, completely incompatible with his cultivation technique. But in this situation, he could only possess first and then find a way to escape. As the saying goes, ’Where there’s life, there’s hope.’
He Ling let out a painful wail. The Sect Master’s face showed some reluctance; after all, this disciple was indeed excellent in the past. But he was incited by Han Le, leading him astray, and now he met such an end.
The Great Elder wouldn’t give Han Le a chance to possess and was about to join others in advancing when something unexpected happened again.
Logically, after Han Le possessed this body, he would gain full control, devouring He Ling’s soul.
However, after Han Le entered this body, a figure was squeezed out of He Ling’s body. And this soul looked completely different from He Ling. With a more ordinary appearance, he desperately called out to the Cangyuan Sect Master: "Master, save me, Master save me!"
The Sect Master of Cangyuan Sect was stunned. Who was this soul that looked completely different from He Ling?
"Did this soul possess the real He Ling?" The Great Elder’s eyes widened.
"Never mind, kill Han Le first!" Wei Yunshu didn’t want to delay any longer. He couldn’t even imagine the consequences if someone as dangerous as Han Le acquired a body. Even if this body didn’t meet Han Le’s standards and was only temporarily possessed, it was still extremely dangerous.
"Wait!" Tianmiao suddenly spoke, stopping Wei Yunshu and the others’ actions.
"What’s wrong, Young City Lord?" Although confused, Wei Yunshu halted.
"There’s still another soul in that body," Tianmiao said, looking intently at He Ling, whose face was twisted in pain, and stated something shocking.
"Is that the real He Ling?" The Cangyuan Sect Master urgently asked. Was it possible that his outstanding disciple wasn’t dead, merely asleep inside that body, continuously suppressed by that treacherous soul?
"No..." Tianmiao gently shook his head, "This person, I fear, was never your Cangyuan Sect’s disciple He Ling from the very beginning."
"What? What do you mean?" The Cangyuan Sect Master was puzzled.
