Chapter 1314 – Painful
Wine Sage agreed to the request without hesitating.
Bai Li Zi Xi’s soul has been imprisoned underground and had served her purpose long ago. It was just that Crazy Sage was still furious as the Bai Li Clan was in a decline due to her.
The majority of the clan elites have been lost in the war, while Bai Li Qing Yan was found to possess demon blood and was involved in the Demon G.o.d Command incident. When the Half-Sages thought back, they all knew there was likely more to the entire chain of events than it seemed.
This woman had once been bestowed as the hope of the Holy Court and given the t.i.tle of Saintess but she had managed to hoodwink the Half-Sages and caused chaos to the entire Spirit Treasure Continent.
Letting her die for such crimes was naturally seen as too light for a punishment.
Now that Ji Mo Ya wanted to meet her, it was naturally not out of kind intentions. However, one party was an imprisoned soul that deserves to die ten thousand times. In contrast, the other side was a hero of humanity. It was only logical that Wine Sage would give some face to Ji Mo Ya.
This location was secretive, it required Wine Sage to personally lead the way.
Both walls of the corridor possessed complicated patterns that were drawn using the blood of Blood Tear Birds. The designs were filled with a strange and mysterious power that could trap souls firmly in this place and no gaps for the souls to exploit.
The chamber was split into ten smaller rooms. Each room imprisoned a soul that appears in the image of their body when they were alive due to a unique spell. Their bodies would be slightly translucent and without shadows and could only float in the tiny rooms.
If the souls were to touch any part of their rooms, the spell would release a faint red glow that can burn the souls. The pain from such soul attacks would cause them to howl in pain for days without means of release.
Wine Sage opened the secret chamber and pointed at the last room, indicating that it was where Bai Li Zi Xi’s soul was kept.
Ji Mo Ya nodded and entered the place. The door behind him silently closed.
Ji Mo Ya slowly walked past the rooms. There were souls imprisoned in the first few rooms; those souls were tattered and incomplete as they wobbled and hanged in the air.
Their expression was sinister yet also of pain. Their mouths were wide open as though they were suffering endless pain. However, no matter how much they appear to scream, not a single sound could be heard.
These souls had been imprisoned for an immeasurable amount of time and had long lost their proud arrogance. The soul burning pain had never stopped, each pa.s.sing moment was torment.
They no longer begged to be released, only hoping for an end, even if it meant for their souls to dissipate.
That was why the moment Ji Mo Ya entered, these souls immediately charged to the door of their rooms. No sounds came from their mouths as they stretched their hands, their crazed gazes of despair were tinged with a trace of hope. Their mouths keep opening, and closing, each pleading: “Help me! Kill me!”
Ji Mo Ya pa.s.sed them without any expression and reached the door of the last room.
A translucent figure was curled up within the corner of the room. When it noticed movement, it raised its head and looked at the door, only to see Ji Mo Ya’s calm eyes.
After a moment of surprise, the dim soulless eyes immediately turned shockingly bright before it charged towards the door.
Due to a slip in control, the floating body touched the door of the room, causing it to release a dark red glow that wrapped the body. The translucent face that regained some of its previous vigours immediately revealed a pained expression.
No sound came from Bai Li Zi Xi, but the way her eyes protruded, the twisted expression and soundless howls made it apparent that she was suffering great pain.
Such soundless but visual pain was enough to cause any man with firm will and heart to shudder in fear.
