There was silence in the city, and many ancient monks were still kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, which was a kind of fear from the depths of their souls, as if they were facing an ancient god, and they couldn't help but bow down to each other.

Lu Xiao was also a little stunned by this, he actually performed this soul devouring technique like this, that huge ghost, as if it came from hell, full of gloomy atmosphere, and he actually existed in the sea of his own consciousness!

After the ghost shadow entered the soul core, Lu Xiao felt a surging power surging from his body, which was quickly absorbed by the soul core.

However, after absorbing this power, Lu Xiao did not feel a significant increase in his divine consciousness, only felt that he seemed to have a more obvious perception of the seemingly void world that he had perceived at the moment of condensing the soul core before, although there was no direct increase in his divine consciousness, but there was a sense of comfort.

At this time, Lu Xiao didn't have much time to carefully experience his changes, but focused on the villagers in the city.

In this short period of time, many villagers who had fallen to the ground before stood up one by one, their eyes full of gray color, without a trace of brilliance, standing motionless.

Lu Xiao sensed it with his divine thoughts, and these hundreds of villagers had become the same as those beasts, losing their vitality and completely controlled by themselves.

For a while, Lu Xiao sighed in his heart, speaking of which, he could be regarded as having harmed these people, if it weren't for himself, these people would still be living an ordinary life.

But Lu Xiao didn't think about this matter deeply, some things were studied deeply, but there was no result, and he didn't feel that he was a good person from beginning to end, the so-called dead friends are not dead and poor, in order to survive in this different world, sometimes he has to take some less upright means.

Hundreds of villagers lost their souls in an instant, and under Lu Xiao's control, they joined the team of the ancient monks.

Just when Lu Xiao controlled these people to go to the city wall, in the houses where those villagers lived, a loud baby cry suddenly sounded.

This cry was very loud in the silent city, Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and instructed an ancient monk to go to the room and carry the baby out.

Monk Gu carried the baby to the side of the tower, and Lu Xiao looked at the infant child and sighed in his heart.

However, after a while, Lu Xiao's mood recovered and he didn't think about it anymore.

"Since you are still alive, I will give you a chance. Lu Xiao looked at the child indifferently.

The next moment, a black sword appeared above the baby's head.

Lu Xiao didn't pay attention to the baby, his divine sense was introverted, and he checked the soul core in his sea of consciousness.

At this moment, the purple light of the soul core was not as shining as before, but it was a little more imposing, and one of the looming shadows slowly swayed, a little more condensed than before.

Lu Xiao felt carefully that his soul power was a little stronger than before, but this kind of power was not something that he could directly use to fight.

In a short period of time, the baby has completed the marrow washing, and the newborn's body is more pure than that of an adult, and its mind is easier to perceive.

Although he still doesn't understand what the so-called cultivation is, when he grows up, he will be able to embark on the path of cultivation smoothly with a little guidance, and his cultivation speed will be much faster than that of those who only start cultivating after the age of ten.

Leaving the baby in the care of the leader of the ancient monks, Lu Xiao asked an ancient monk to take out a piece of black metal from the space in his body, and his divine sense probed into it, wanting to figure out the mystery.

The strange scene caused by the collision of the two swords with their spiritual power just now frightened Lu Xiao.

He had probed this metal before, but he didn't feel anything special except that he sensed spiritual power fluctuations on it.

"Could it be that there are living creatures in here?" Lu Xiao wondered in his heart, if it weren't for the living creatures, how could he still speak.

However, when the divine sense penetrated into it, it was still the same as before, without the slightest abnormality, and only felt the faint flow of spiritual energy in it.

Immediately, Lu Xiao ordered the ancient monk to inject spiritual power into it.

The voice before did not affect himself and these ancient monks, and Lu Xiao believed that even if the voice appeared again, it would not have any effect.

With the infusion of spiritual power, the star-like light on the metal surface became brighter and more beautiful.

However, the change that Lu Xiao was expecting still did not happen, except for emitting light, no matter how the ancient monk injected spiritual power, there was no reaction.

Lu Xiao thought for a moment, and asked the ancient monk to take out another piece of metal, inject spiritual power, and then hit it together, he wanted to imitate the movements of the two villagers just now.

"Qiang!" Monk Gu completely obeyed Lu Xiao's order and slammed the two pieces of metal together.

At the moment when the two pieces of metal collided, Lu Xiao suddenly felt a wave of soul coming from the metal.

This fluctuation seemed to be very powerful, Lu Xiao tested it with his soul, and found that the source of the fluctuation seemed to be far stronger than himself, but it was very far away from himself, so he did not cause harm to himself.

The nightmarish whisper from before sounded again, and Lu Xiao directly ignored it, wanting to track down the location of the owner of the voice.

In the dark, Lu Xiao felt as if he knew where the thing was, but in an instant, the source of the fluctuation became blurred.

Lu Xiao forcibly lifted his spirit to see clearly, but he never succeeded.

Soon, the fluctuation gradually disappeared, and Lu Xiao asked the ancient monk to try a few more times, and the results were all the same.

And when the fluctuations subsided, Lu Xiao recalled in his mind, but suddenly found that the inexplicable creature he had seen before had no impression in his mind at this moment!

The only thing I remember is the countless eyes......

"Strange, this metal, is it really impossible to live?" Lu Xiao said in his heart.

Monk Gu put away the metal and, according to Lu Xiao's instructions, returned to the city again.

The long swords forged by the villagers before, Lu Xiao still let those villagers hold them, these people have now lost their souls, even if the sound occurs again, it will not affect them, on the contrary, with these strange metal forged long swords, it may work wonders in battle.

After all the hundreds of villagers were transformed, the speed of absorbing spiritual power was also a little faster, after all, now they were equivalent to a tool for absorbing spiritual power, compared to ordinary people, without the shackles of the Dao rules, it would be more effective for Lu Xiao now.
