Chapter 495 Earth Soul
Xie Huan was stunned for a moment, without any expression on his face, and asked: "How did you die?"

"Do you know the origin of Earth Soul?"

Shi Mang looked at him, trying to find a hint of emotion in his face and eyes, but he was disappointed.

"It is said to be formed by the fission of Shenyin, one of the Seven Secrets."

"Yes, Shenyin split into three parts, the earth soul, the dark skeleton and the divine heart. The divine heart appeared decades ago and caused a huge shock. The forces on three ninth-level spiritual islands were bloodbathed. Once empty, countless Yuanying gods fell, and were finally sealed by Yun Yan and his wife on the Holy Island. "

Xie Huan's pupils widened slightly, thinking that the seal on Yunli's body was said to be the source of the disaster, but it turned out to be the heart of the god.

"How did she die?"

"The immortal's will exploded, everyone was wiped out, and the seal on her body was naturally broken. When everyone was resurrected again, the divine heart had already taken possession of her body."

"Just being possessed?"

"No one who is corrupted by God's heart can survive."

"That is to say, no one saw her really dead, right?"

"You're having an illusion."

"It's not that I have any illusions, it's just that you are inferring at will."

"That's what it looks like in the past."

"Historical data is not a theorem of the universe and may not happen in the future."

"Since you are so persistent, I won't say anything."

Shi Mang sat back in front of the window, slowly closed his eyes, gradually fell into concentration, and finally said: "Zhang Wuhen will compromise in three days. Then I will communicate with the earth spirit, and you can come over at any time."

"You may say that I am persistent, but I just believe that she will not die. We will see."

Xie Huan smiled slightly, and his whole person faded until he disappeared.

Shang Wen, who was standing there, trembled and came back to his senses. He looked at his hand with a blank look on his face. The marks on it had faded and disappeared.

"What happened just now?"

Shang Wen said in a daze.

"Stop pretending, you heard clearly everything that happened just now and the conversation between Xie Huan and I."

Shi Mang said calmly, drinking the tea in his hand and looking out the window.

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Shang Wen looked stupid and frowned.

"When Xie Huan left, he glanced at you to remind me that you know everything."

"Damn Xie Huan!"

Shang Wen's eyes suddenly turned red, his mentality exploded, and he roared angrily: "I tried my best to do things for him, but he actually wants to kill me to silence me!"

"Who wants to destroy you? It's just to erase your memory."

"Ah, don't you want to kill me? I made a mistake just now. I hope Lord Corpse Emperor will never tell Xie Huan that my respect for Mr. Xie is like the vast sea water, endless..."

Shi Mang was bored. With a wave of his hand, a force poured into Shang Wen's body, pulling out his Yuan Ying and soul, and stripping away this memory.

After a moment, Shang Wen frowned and returned to the fog with a confused face. This time he was really confused, thinking hard, but couldn't remember anything.

He knew that he had been tampered with, and he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly left with his two followers.

Three days later, as Shi Mang expected, Zhang Wuhen relented and agreed to return the temple's belongings to the people on Immortal Island.

In the past three days, the whole island was in a state of chaos. Xie Huan was not even seen. Zhang Wuhen scolded all the major families and took the opportunity to deal with more than a hundred people and put the other four to death. The rights of the big family were further deprived and all were consolidated into the hands of the Zhang family. Even the Qing family, which was at its peak, was suppressed.

At this point, the Zhang family is the only one on Xiwang Island, and the other four families can only compete with the Zhang family if they join forces.

After all this hard work, Zhang Wuhen became the biggest winner.

On the day Shi Mang and others landed on the island, although his face was filled with anger, his heart was calm and he was even secretly happy.

Many forces on the island also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to be deprived of their rights and resources than to go to war with the Immortal Island.

All the senior officials of Xiwangdao gathered near the temple. They watched Shi Mang and others walking into the temple talking and laughing, feeling extremely complicated in their hearts.

These people they usually worshiped were now standing in front of them alive, and they were also their enemies. This feeling was extremely weird.

The people of Immortal Island walked around the temple, bustling with people, looking at the items from the past, and they were all filled with emotion.

But soon everyone's expressions dropped, as there were too many things missing.

Tianhun said: "Island Master Zhang, right? Last time I came here, each hall was full of items. Why is it that this time there is not even a fifth?"

"These things have always been enshrined here. Except for you and Xie Huan who took them last time, no one has touched them. If they are missing, Xie Huan probably took them."

Zhang Wuhen explained.

"Ha, old thing, I have you!"

Tianhun stared.

Zhang Wuhen smiled slightly, stroking his beard, saying nothing, thinking, what can you do to me?

"Xie Huan, did you take it?"

Shi Mang looked at the crowd and said calmly.

Everyone looked over, and a path was immediately separated from the crowd, and a monk with light steps walked out. With a smile on his face, he said loudly: "I did take something, a total of two items, a jade slip, all of them are here." Please take a look at this, your lords.”

After saying that, he came to Shi Mang and handed over a storage bag.

Everyone on Xiwang Island stared at this young man, their eyes wide with anger, wishing they could rush up and tear him apart.

The five family heads, Zhang Wuhen, Qingjian, Shang Qiu, Leng Xinghan and Song Baiyu, all stared at Xie Huan and carefully looked at the top leader of Yuan Yanghai, with different expressions.

"Are you Xie Huan?"

Zhang Wuhen asked with a gloomy face.

Xie Huan nodded and said with a smile: "I have met Island Master Zhang and all of you adults."

After saying that, he opened the storage bag and took out the Arcas fragments, a yellowed jade slip, and a black cloak. After showing it for a while, he handed it to Zhang Wuhen and said, "I took the liberty last time and didn't go through it before." The owner agreed and took the three treasures, which now belong to their original owners."

"Are you kidding? The Human King's Palace alone is missing at least 300 items. Including the other palaces, the total loss is at least 20,000 items, if not 30,000."

Zhang Wuhen said with a sneer.

"So many? There must be unknown thieves among them. The island owner and Lord Corpse Emperor need to investigate thoroughly."

Xie Huan said in surprise.

"Haha, now it's interesting. I don't even admit that I took it. Could it be that I took it?"

Tianhun sneered, staring at Xie Huan and Zhang Wuhen.

Both of them looked like they didn't care, what can you do to me.

"The space where Xiwang Island is located is top-secret, and it is blocked by my Immortal Island. The things will definitely not go out. They must still be on the island. Since neither of them has taken it, Island Master Zhang is helpless. This matter is actually easy to handle. , just leave it to me."

Shi Mang looked indifferent and said to all his men: "You have all heard that the things were taken by the thief and hidden on the island. Now I give the order to search the thief on the island and recover the items."

"Yes!" Everyone understood immediately, and they all dispersed in laughter.

Zhang Wuhen and other five family heads all changed their expressions and said angrily: "Corpse Emperor, what do you mean?"

"The meaning is very clear. You are not capable of capturing the thief, so I will help you."

While Shi Mang was speaking, all the old people of the Human King had fled and poured into the major mansions on the island to plunder them.

The monks on Xiwang Island were all horrified and hurried back to deal with it, but they were captured by the Human King's old troops and not a single spiritual stone was left.

"Corpse King!"

Zhang Wuhen said angrily: "You are robbing!"

"Island Master Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? You started it first, who is to blame?"

Shi Mang said.

"Ask them to stop. I will replenish all the lost items for you."

Zhang Wuhen and several family heads were panicked. If they continued to rob them like this, all the five major families would return to poverty.

"Okay, just now Island Master Zhang said that the lost items were at least 20,000 if not 30,000. So let's count them as 20,000. Don't use garbage to make up the number. At least they must be from my era."

...Zhang Wuhen was dumbfounded. What he had just said casually meant that there were no 20,000 items in the entire temple.

Xie Huan secretly thought that if he was cruel enough, Xiwang Island would completely lose its capital now, and it would be impossible to return the things he was robbing now. Zhang Wuhen would shoot himself in the foot.

This Shimang looks gentle and gentle, but his methods are ruthless. You have to be careful when dealing with him.

"I just said 20,000 pieces..."

Zhang Wuhen was about to explain with a shy face.

Shi Mang interrupted directly and said: "Island Master Zhang doesn't want to say that he is joking with everyone, right? We have serious discussions with you about such an important matter, and you are joking with us?"

A chill spread out.

People like Shi Mang are different from the people on Xiwang Island. In addition to the difference in their own strength, they also have the homicidal temperament that has been tempered for thousands of times. They have come back from the line of life and death again and again.

Everyone felt the chill of Shi Mang, and was convinced that once the talks collapsed, blood would flow into a river in the next second, and even the entire Xiwang Island would be shattered.

Under this huge pressure, Zhang Wuhen could only break his teeth and swallow it, confessing to 20,000 items.

The chill on Shi Mang's body dissipated in an instant, and he said gently: "Xiwang Island has been operating in the name of Taoism for so many years, and the benefits have been considerable. Forget about the interest."

His words were a reminder to Zhang Wuhen, don't be ignorant, and the extra money you get today can be used as interest, otherwise you will have to peel off your skin.

How could Zhang Wuhen dare to say anything? Shi Mang was completely in control of him, so he decided to spread the debt to the other four families as much as possible.

Shi Mang called everyone back, glanced at Xie Huan again, and said nothing about the affairs of the Renwang Palace.

Xie Huan naturally understood that Shi Mang was selling favors to him. The key things he wanted were the Arcas fragments and the earth soul. As for the other things, they were nothing more than resources to nourish his subordinates. More of himself would not be much, less of him would not be much. A lot of points.

He smiled knowingly.

Firstly, he wanted to show that he understood, and secondly, he wanted to show it to Zhang Wuhen, telling the people on Xiwang Island that he was surrounded by poetry and asking them to take it easy.

Ever since he appeared, the looks in the eyes of the people on Xiwangdao were killing him.

After settling the matter on Xiwang Island, Shi Mang looked at the sky, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and a circle of golden light flowed around his pupils.

His temperament suddenly became awe-inspiring.

The old men of the Human King stopped playing and dispersed around Shi Mang.

Xie Huan discovered that whenever they stopped at random, they would vaguely contain some kind of formation sequence, forming an extremely strong and complex hidden energy.

"Shenyin, do you still remember me?"

Shi Mang said slowly, forming a seal with his hands, and a golden light shot out from the seal, like a small sun, shining on the entire sky.

The pupil of Xie Huan's right eye flashed, turning into a blue silver glow. He saw that the golden light continued to split the rules of space, and dark energy gradually poured out, becoming stronger and stronger, like ink dripping in clear water, spreading rapidly.

Almost everyone feels the pressure of this energy.

From several places on the island, there were a lot of shrill screams. They were very frightened and trembling, as if they were struggling in a cage. They were the creatures of the black abyss who were imprisoned on the island.

Suddenly the whole world went dark, and the dark energy poured down, like the moonlight of the black moon, spreading all over the island and covering everyone.

Xie Huan's body flashed with golden light, isolating the energy.

He glanced at everyone, and they all cast different spells to resist the energy, but Shimang remained unmoved and allowed the energy to cover his body, like a gray gauze.

The scene outside the island has also undergone tremendous changes. The originally clear sky turned into an endless black abyss, as if it had been swallowed into the belly of a giant thing.

Xie Huan's pupils flashed violently, and he discovered that it was not "as if", but that he was really in a completely different space. The energy of the black abyss outside Xiwang Island was constantly flowing, like a formless life form.

Shi Mang recited some kind of spell in his mouth. The syllables were like the language of the Black Abyss, but they were different. After listening for a while, Xie Huan found that it contained the most instinctive syllable energy, which itself conveyed a certain meaning.

Suddenly, the spell in Shi Mang's mouth stopped, and the darkness was filled with life energy, and a low whisper came: "Shi Mang, you are still alive."

"I'm alive."

The golden light in Shimang's eyes was bright, looking at the endless darkness and said: "Shenyin, come to my island of immortality and become my companion."

"Why?"

The voice whispered.

"With our friendship, my ambition, the Human King's last wish, and my strength, if you stay on Xiwang Island, you will never be able to recover your true form. If you follow me, you will eventually recover."

Shi Mang said firmly.

"Those things you said are all rubbish in my opinion. Only restoring my true body can attract me. It's just that you have the ability to say that you can restore my true body for me."

"Now in Yuanyanghai, if I can't do it, then basically no one can do it."

"Humans' words are rarely reliable. I was deceived by the King of Humans' sweet words and ended up in the current situation. You can leave, I will not cooperate with you anymore."

"Shenyin, I think you can think about it again. Don't you want to return to your true form?"

Shi Mang frowned slightly.

At this time, a sneer came from the black sky: "Master Shenyin has made it very clear, why are you still stalking here? Speaking of which, you are a step too late, Master Shenyin has already promised me We, the Black Abyss clan, have no friendship other than hatred with you humans.”

A shadow appeared in the sky and slowly emerged, with a face covered in black lines, two horns on its head, its body covered in purple scales, and a hint of sarcasm at the corner of its mouth.

"This person is..."

Xie Huan's pupils shrank, it was his first time seeing this person, but this aura...

It was exactly what I sensed when I came out of the Black Abyss and when I left the Wings of the Black Abyss. I didn't take it to heart at first, but now it seems that I am being followed. This Black Abyss creature lurked through the battle between me and Qing Ming. He emerged from the Wings of the Black Abyss.

And from the perspective of momentum, it is at least the dominant level.

"you are?"

Shi Mang asked expressionlessly.

"You can call me Mi Mie."

The creature from the black abyss said with a smile.
