Chapter 12655 Freed

The heart of water was like a floating mist, emitting a strange and powerful force alone in this dead space.

Ling Xiao observed carefully and found that as long as he did not step into the range of the building complex, the Water Heart did not seem to actively attack. This seemed to be a special conditioned reflex, just like the pitcher plant preying on mosquitoes, it would only attack under certain conditions.

Ling Xiao's mind moved and he had an idea. Since the Water Heart had no consciousness and was only acting on instinct, he had more ways to deal with it.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, which was left when he was knocked away by Water Heart. He looked at the woman beside him with a questioning look in his eyes.

"You won't interfere?" he asked.

The woman glanced at him and didn't answer. She just stood there quietly, like a bystander.

At this moment, the voice of the Evil Spirit Emperor sounded in Ling Xiao's mind again: "If he interferes, I will take action. Stop talking nonsense and take action. If the Water Heart senses the danger, once it hides completely, you will have to waste time looking for it. It's not worth it at all."

Ling Xiao was delighted when he heard this. With the words of the Evil Spirit Emperor, he could give it a try.

He no longer hesitated and suddenly released the Green Wood Dragon Soul, the Gengjin Dragon Soul, and the Fiery Dragon Soul. Under Ling Xiao's control, these three dragon souls rushed into the building complex like three streams of light and started a fierce battle with the Water Heart.

Although the Heart of Water was powerful, it was ultimately a dead object without consciousness. Its attack and defense were all based on instinctive reflexes. In this case, although Ling Xiao's three dragon souls could not completely suppress it, they were able to deal with it and prevent it from escaping.

While the three dragon souls were fighting with the Heart of Water, Ling Xiao suddenly rushed into the building complex. He summoned his Tyrant Martial Soul, which was his most terrifying martial soul and the reason why he could continue to reincarnate and become the strongest.

A huge black shadow enveloped the Heart of Water, like a huge black hole, swallowing the Heart of Water in. As long as Ling Xiao entered the range of Tyrant Martial Spirit, he could easily refine this ball of Heart of Water.

The woman saw this and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She originally just wanted to watch the show and didn't believe that Ling Xiao could take away the Water Heart. After all, in her opinion, Ling Xiao's strength was far from enough to subdue this Water Heart that contained terrifying energy.

However, the facts were beyond her expectations. Ling Xiao not only conquered the Heart of Water, but also did it so easily.

"You have received the Heart of Water!" the woman said with some surprise.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, I have received it. Didn't you see it, Senior?"

"Forget it, I am free now!" The woman sighed, with a sense of relief in her tone. Her eyes looked into the distance, as if she could see through time and space, recalling those long forgotten years.

Her figure seemed more ethereal in the dim light, as if she would disappear into the air at any moment. Although her face was still beautiful, it had lost its former vitality and energy, leaving only a dead calm.

"I am trapped here. My body has long since rotted away, leaving only this wisp of ghost living dully... I'm considered alive, at least my consciousness hasn't completely collapsed." The woman said softly, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in her voice.

Ling Xiao's heart was moved when he heard this. He looked at the once glorious disciple of Kuishui Sect in front of him, who now ended up like this, and couldn't help but feel pity and sympathy.

"Senior is really a ghost!" Ling Xiao laughed bitterly and sighed. He couldn't imagine what kind of suffering and pain such a beautiful woman had experienced in her life to become what she is now.

The woman shook her head slightly, as if she didn't want to talk about those past events again. She was silent for a moment, and then continued: "In order to protect the Heart of Water and prevent it from being obtained by the Holy Hall, our Kuishui Sect sealed ourselves and hid here. However, something happened later, perhaps because of the long-term confinement, some people became crazy."

Her tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness and regret, as if those past events still left a deep mark in her heart.

"Until it turned into a disaster, a self-destructive disaster. That terrible disaster killed all the people from Kuishui Sect here, including me." When the woman said this, her voice was trembling a little.

Ling Xiao could feel the grief and anger in her heart, which was a kind of unwillingness and helplessness towards her fate.

"But I'm lucky. My soul lives in my hairpin and has existed until now." The woman forced a smile, but that smile was full of bitterness and helplessness.

Listening to the woman's words, Ling Xiao felt a deep sense of sadness and regret. He had heard of the glory and honor of the Kuishui Sect, but now he saw with his own eyes the tragic end of the disciples of this once glorious sect.

He thought of how the Kuishui Sect was more terrifying than the ten major sects in Central China back then. There were even rumors that Huangquan Bulao Mountain was founded by an elder of the Kuishui Sect.

It was the only existence that could compete with the Holy Temple at that time, but unfortunately it has now disappeared, leaving only this ghost to tell of its former glory and honor.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel deep sympathy and respect for the woman. He knew that she was once a brave and strong person who was willing to sacrifice herself to protect the Heart of Water. Although she has now become a ghost, she still sticks to her beliefs and responsibilities.

He stood silently in front of the woman, feeling her sadness and helplessness, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Perhaps this is the fickleness of fate. No one can predict what kind of twists and turns and hardships they will experience.

"You came here by chance. Don't you have any interest in continuing the legacy of the Kuishui Sect? You can inherit it yourself or pass it on to someone else. I can't bear to see the Kuishui Sect fade into history like this!"

The woman said suddenly.

"No problem at all!"

There was a flash of surprise in Ling Xiao's eyes. The inheritance of Kuishui Sect surpassed that of the ten major sects. I wonder how powerful it is.

Although he already has many abilities, it is always good to have more skills. Moreover, as the woman said, the inheritance of Kuishui Sect can also be passed on to others, and it would be a good helper to strengthen him.

"My name is Qiu Shui Kui, and I am the last leader of the Kui Shui Sect!"

The woman introduced: "I don't know what you call the confident little guy?"

"I'm not small at all. Forget it, there's no point in explaining it to you. My name is Ling Xiao!" Ling Xiao thought for a while and said.

This time, he used his real name. There was no need to lie to a ghost.

"Ling Xiao... Ling Xiao... Do you know Senior Yu Xuanyue?" The woman suddenly became excited.
