352 What is in the Heart

“With our current strength, we can’t break the enchantment within an incense stick time. We can’t let him escape, can we?” Jing Wudao, who was originally weak, immediately recovered a little, and his aura stabilized.

“You’ve suffered great loss to subdue the enemy. The plan after this…” Before Zhao Qiankun could finish his sentence, he shook his head.

“Are you confident in devouring He Youliang’s cultivation now?” Zhao Qiankun said as he patted Gu Mingzhou’s shoulder with his right hand.

Gu Mingzhou didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the weak Jing Wudao.

From the conversation between Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao, Gu Mingzhou could roughly make out the situation.

The reason Jing Wudao was so weak was obviously that he had used a powerful spell technique just now.

Gu Mingzhou walked towards He Youliang.

Without the obstruction by the array flags and barriers, Gu Mingzhou walked leisurely and quickly reached He Youliang’s side.

He only looked at He Youliang, whose eyes were tightly shut and who was barely breathing, and he actually felt some pity in his heart.

Does he really have to do it that way?

He Youliang was someone Jing Wudao had risked his life to stay behind, so how could Gu Mingzhou let Jing Wudao down?

He looked at the unconscious He Youliang at his feet, his eyes no longer filled with pity. He began to circulate the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique, and his Dantian shook.

A strange aura suddenly attacked his heart, and he could not help but freeze.

Gu Mingzhou looked at He Youliang in disbelief, but his heart was in turmoil!

The Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique left behind by the Qing Emperor seemed to be a top-notch spell technique in the world.

He could increase his cultivation by forcefully devouring other people’s cultivation.

What was the difference between him and those brutal monster cultivators who swallowed weak monster beasts by force?

What was the difference between killing and absorbing the blood of living beings to improve one’s cultivation?

Not to mention those who had been devoured!

“What are you still dawdling for? We don’t have much time. If Shangguan Fei gets here, we’ll all be finished!” Seeing Gu Mingzhou’s hesitation, Zhao Qiankun’s face immediately showed anger.

“Is there no other way?” Gu Mingzhou shook his head and said,”

“You need to possess great power to save innocent lives!” Zhao Qiankun did not wait for Gu Mingzhou to finish and interrupted him.

“Strength doesn’t differentiate between good and evil. These people who devour cultivation are all evil. Why should you feel guilty?” Jing Wudao also shouted anxiously.

“How much blood have you shed on the path of cultivation? Now that the situation is so urgent, you want to retreat?” Zhao Qiankun seemed to have been completely enraged by Gu Mingzhou as he shouted at him.

“I can still kill him! At the very least, there’s still a possibility of him reincarnating, but if he’s devoured, he’ll truly die, his Dao will be destroyed, and his soul will be scattered!” Gu Mingzhou retorted.

Even though Zhao Qiankun was completely enraged, he still refused.

“Wu Ji patriarch’s soul was devoured by me when I used the Heavenly Devouring Technique?” Gu Mingzhou slowly raised his head and looked straight at Zhao Qiankun. His voice could not help but turn cold.

The voice was cold, sharp, and bitter.

He did not blame Zhao Qiankun.

More than anything else, he was grateful.

He also knew that Zhao Qiankun chose to hide the truth to prevent him from getting emotional.

Even though Zhao Qiankun had concealed his true strength, he could still sense it.

In fact, Gu Mingzhou was well aware of Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao’s motive for doing this.

He had to do his best to improve his cultivation.

What Gu Mingzhou was doing now was no longer his own business.

Just as Zhao Qiankun had said, on the path of cultivation, killing had become a common occurrence. Bloodshed and death were commonplace.

Although he wasn’t an evil person, he wasn’t a merciful person either.

He had been exposed to the cruelty of cultivation, so he naturally did not pity Wu Ji patriarch.

Thus, he had chosen to devour it after Zhao Qiankun’s persuasion.

Even if he had a grudge against this cultivation method, he could still reluctantly accept it.

However, Gu Mingzhou did not expect that when he was devouring Wu Ji patriarch, a strange aura entered his body, making him feel uncomfortable.

Although he had guessed a certain possibility.

However, he wasn’t sure, so he decided to ask Zhao Qiankun about it later.

Unfortunately, in his joy, there were still many things to do, so he naturally forgot about that matter.

When he was preparing to use the Heavenly Devouring Technique on the severely injured He Youliang, he suddenly felt that aura again.

Not only did he instantly recall the aura of Wu Ji patriarch, but it also allowed Gu Mingzhou to verify his original guess.

That strange aura was the aura of the dissipating soul!

Whose soul was dissipating?

Of course, it was not Gu Mingzhou. The answer was undoubtedly Wu Ji patriarch and He Youliang!

When the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique devoured the cultivation base of others, it was also devouring the soul of the other party!

Gu Mingzhou did not mind killing people.

Cultivation was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, a world of slaughter.

However, he did mind this kind of behavior, which would even destroy the soul after killing.

That was undoubtedly a cruel method. It was equivalent to directly wiping away all traces of their existence and disappearing from the world forever!

He couldn’t accept it and was disgusted.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that the dissipated soul was gradually merging into his own soul.

He even had an illusion that Wu Ji patriarch’s soul was staring at him with hatred somewhere in his body.

Gu Mingzhou’s words obviously left Zhao Qiankun speechless and at a loss for words.

“Do you know what I’m thinking?”

“Have you asked me if I was willing or not?”

Zhao Qiankun was in a daze as he reminisced about the past.

“Sigh, do as you wish!” The furious Zhao Qiankun looked at Gu Mingzhou’s twisted expression and said bitterly.

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Qiankun’s floating body gradually faded away.

In the face of Gu Mingzhou’s firm attitude, Zhao Qiankun obviously chose to give in.

Gu Mingzhou was at a loss. He missed his poor life when he was young.

Unfortunately, he could only recall the past.

“I should have supported you unconditionally no matter what choice you made, but you were wrong this time.” Jing Wudao’s steps were still a little unsteady, and there was disappointment on his face.

“But…” Gu Mingzhou did not know how to continue.

“When devouring other people’s cultivation, it’s a little cruel and terrifying to devour their souls as well. However, there’s no such thing as reincarnation in this world. Even the Qing Emperor couldn’t avoid death, let alone us?” Jing Wudao slowly turned his head and looked at Gu Mingzhou again.

Gu Mingzhou had not said a word from the beginning to the end. However, as Jing Wudao spoke, his head drooped even lower, almost touching the ground.

How could he not know how Zhao Qiankun treated Gu Mingzhou?

However, when he found out that the Heavenly Devouring Technique could even devour souls, he felt an inexplicable anger that directly affected his emotions. Coupled with Zhao Qiankun’s aggressive attitude, he was able to vent his emotions.

But now, he suddenly felt regret.

He began to regret his words and actions just now, and he was inexplicably angry.

Gu Mingzhou raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

He forced out a smile and looked at Jing Wudao as if he had made a decision.

He suddenly snatched away three array flags and pointed them at Jing Wudao’s forehead without waiting for him to speak.

“Collect!” A light shout came from Gu Mingzhou.

Jing Wudao’s body turned red and quickly entered Gu Mingzhou’s body.

“There are some things I have to do myself!” Gu Mingzhou said lightly.

He looked back at He Youliang on the ground, his fists clenched, and his tear-streaked face gradually turned cold.
