“Could he be the flame person?” Gong Sunheng gasped and looked at the wisp of smoke in disbelief. “Then he’s simply too tenacious!”
Lou Qianxue warily stared at the wisp of smoke. “I think he was speaking the truth when he told us that he had perished, and he’s only a remnant of his soul. His true form is probably this insubstantial state.”
“What about the fire orbs from earlier?”
“He has been confined here for more than ten thousand years. It’s normal for him to learn how to slightly control the Abnormal Fire.”
“I understand now!” The gears in Gong Sunheng’s mind quickly moved. “He was initially just a soul. However, after controlling some of the Abnormal Fire, he made a body using the fire.”
“We accidentally destroyed his body using the sealed scrolls. Without his body, he had no choice but to snatch Mo Qingyuan’s body!”
“Then, Young Master Dan Taiyuan destroyed Mo Qingyuan’s body. With nowhere to stay, he could only exist in such a state!”
Lou Qianxue approvingly looked at Gong Sunheng. “You’re right. That’s my guess too.”
“That bastard!” A look of disbelief appeared in Gong Sunheng eyes as he exclaimed, “His spirit is everywhere.”
Lou Qianxue sighed. “Yeah. I don’t know what kind of weird person he is to stay alive for more than ten thousand years! It’s even more troublesome because we can’t attack him if he doesn’t have a body— Hm?” As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and paused mid-sentence.
Gong Sunheng stared at the black wisp of smoke. “Qianxue, I have an idea.”
“What a coincidence. I have one too.”
Both of them smiled at each other.
“However, this is not the place for us to talk.”
“Follow me.” Lou Qianxue grabbed Gong Sunheng’s sleeve and entered the Mountain River Space with him.
When the black wisp containing the two fire orbs saw that Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng had disappeared mid-air, it monstrously howled in frustration.
As he looked at the unfamiliar realm, Gong Sunheng was tactful enough to not ask too much about the Mountain River Space.
Once he entered, he said, “Qianxue, I discovered that no matter how that guy looks, there’s always those two fire orbs inside it. I think that the key lies in those two fire orbs… Hence, as long as we can snatch away the fire orbs, we have nothing to fear about him anymore!”
Lou Qianxue carefully asked, “Snatch the fire orbs? Then, we can only use the sealed scrolls. But we only have one left. Are you confident that we can succeed?”
“Don’t worry, after using so many scrolls, I’ve figured out the way. Plus, the origin source of the Abnormal Fire is too strong, and one sealed scroll can’t seal it. On the other hand, the two fire orbs can control the abnormal fire and are very powerful. Even if we only have one each, we can still have the ‘Phantom Demon Heart Fire’… The only thing troubling me is how to make him drop his guard. If he keeps controlling the two fire orbs, it’ll be harder for us to seal them.”
Lou Qianxue thought for a while. “I think that your plan works.”
“How can we make him loosen his control over the fire orbs?”
“Leave this to me!” Lou Qianxue smirked. “That’s what I was about to tell you.
“I suddenly remembered that both mental strength and soul strength can’t be captured. Both of them share a similarity.” Lou Qianxue then looked into Gong Sunheng’s eyes.
“I’ll attack his soul with my mental strength later. Unable to divert his attention, he’ll naturally become unable to control the fire orbs. You can take the opportunity to seal it. There should be no problem this way.”
Lou Qianxue’s words were very reasonable. However…
“No way!” Gong Sunheng strongly opposed it, and his tone became agitated. “Mental strength is the key to one’s consciousness! Plus, it’s very fragile. It’s okay if your mental strength is stronger than his. However, what if it’s weaker? Don’t you know that you might become a fool due to the impact?”
