Although this place was very strange, Xiao Shi could only continue forward no matter what. He silently memorized the eight taboos on the stone tablet. He felt that with his current luck, he still had some advantage here.
Of course, the most important thing was to find the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect who were imprisoned here as soon as possible. Through the strangeness of this place, he could sense that the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect imprisoned here were definitely not simple.
If it was just an ordinary disciple, he was not worthy of being imprisoned in such a place. The entire valley was silent. Only Xiao Shi’s footsteps spread in the dark night, making him look even more lonely.
He walked for ten minutes. The plants in front of him began to flourish, and many tombstones appeared in these dense plants. This was a cemetery. On a few tombstones, illusory remnant souls floated. These remnant souls basically only had half a body. They either did not have a lower body or an upper body.
They repeated something in a low voice. Because they were too far apart, Xiao Shi was unable to hear clearly. However, the moment he saw these remnant souls, he thought of one of the taboos in the valley.
He could not attack remnant souls!
If not for this taboo, he would definitely choose to absorb these remnant souls into his body as nourishment to increase his spiritual sense. These remnant souls were clearly not ordinary souls. There would be greater benefits after absorbing it. He could also obtain a portion of the memories in the remnant soul, so that he could understand more about this imprisoned place.
But under the taboo of the valley, Xiao Shi definitely could not have any designs on these remnant souls. Not only could he not do anything, he could not even have thoughts. This was because there was another taboo among the eight taboos.
One could not have any evil thoughts in the valley.
Evil thoughts…
Actually, it was very difficult to determine that. However, Xiao Shi knew that the evil thoughts referred here were definitely from the valley’s standpoint. If one had bad thoughts about the remnant souls in the valley, that would be considered evil thoughts.
Xiao Shi immediately retracted his thoughts. As there was only one path here, he could not avoid this cemetery. He had to pass through here. As he approached, he realized that these remnant souls were all in a muddle-headed state. They kept repeating the words.
He heard it clearly now. The remnant soul closest to him kept muttering, “It’s over. The matter has been exposed. The Martial Emperor will kill me. He will definitely kill me!”
Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. Through the words of the remnant soul, he realized that this remnant soul was very likely someone from the Martial Emperor’s era when he was alive. “Could it be that this remnant soul was killed by the Martial Emperor when he was alive?”
As someone who already had four Emperor’s Armors, Xiao Shi instinctively cared about the Martial Emperor. He looked at the remnant soul curiously and asked, “What did you expose? Why did the Martial Emperor want to kill you?”
The remnant soul’s neck twisted stiffly bit by bit. His empty pupils stared at Xiao Shi. “It’s over. The matter has been exposed. The Martial Emperor will kill me. He will definitely kill me!” It repeated.
Xiao Shi frowned slightly. The remnant soul’s consciousness was too severely damaged. So much so that it could only keep repeating this sentence. He could not answer his own question.
Xiao Shi felt a little regretful about this. Although he could not ask anything from the remnant soul, he also knew that this remnant soul was most likely from the Martial Emperor’s era when he was alive.
“Looks like the water in this imprisonment place is deeper than 1 imagined!” Xiao Shi sighed in his heart. Once something from the Martial Emperor Era was involved, It was definitely not simple.
He followed the path of this cemetery and kept moving forward. There was no danger in this cemetery. These remnant souls would not take the initiative to attack Xiao Shi. They did not have the ability to attack either.
Xiao Shi felt that the true danger of this cemetery was actually mainly because he could not help but have the evil thoughts of absorbing these remnant souls into his body. Under close contact, he could feel the attraction these remnant souls brought to him. It was as if he was walking in a mountain of gold and silver, but he could not pick up the gold and silver treasures on the ground.
Not only could it not be picked up, he could not even think of picking it up. He had to restrain his thoughts at all times.
When Xiao Shi advanced for a distance, “Hey, kid, i have a secret here. Do you want to know?” A remnant soul suddenly floated to Xiao Shi’s side and said mysteriously.
Xiao Shi was stunned. “Are you talking to me?”
“Apart from you, is there anyone else here?” The remnant soul looked at Xiao Shi as if he was crazy.
Xiao Shi’s gaze turned cold. This remnant soul was clearly different from the remnant souls from before. The remnant souls from before could not communicate. They could only repeat one sentence. However, this remnant soul could communicate with him.
“What do you know?” Xiao Shi asked.
“If you want to know the secret here, you have to give me a treasure. If you give me a treasure, I’ll tell you this secret.” The remnant soul said eagerly.
Xiao Shi pondered for a moment. He tried to take out a treasure and gave it to the remnant soul. The remnant soul immediately took it with shining eyes. He immediately put this treasure into his mouth..
