Chapter 138 Feel The Sun
Right now, this situation was truly too strange. Xiang Nan did not have a definite judgement yet. At this moment, the evil sect was extremely powerful.
But at least he knew that the mission he had taken on must have exceeded the scope of a first-class mission.
However, with Xiang Nan's personality, it was impossible for him to return to the Haoran Sect. He had to figure out the situation clearly.
"What's the matter?" Sun Chun asked curiously when he saw Xiang Nan standing motionlessly on the roof.
"Oh, nothing." Xiang Nan jumped down and said, "I've seen the situation. Let's go back first."
After saying that, the two mounted their fast horses and returned to the state capital.
Xiang Nan did not tell Sun Chun what he had seen with his own eyes, because he did not trust anyone now.
Based on what Xiang Nan had seen and heard in Linhai Town, he speculated that the person who had taken away the humans might not be a demonic beast, or rather, it was not just a demonic beast.
The reason why the townsfolk of Linhai Town could disappear at the same time without causing great panic was because someone had instantly sucked out the souls of all the people in the town.
In this way, there would naturally be no signs of fighting or escaping.
"Alright, Xiang Nan, you're tired from traveling. Rest early. This mission can't be completed in a day or two." Sun Chun had arranged a guest room for Xiang Nan and was about to leave.
Just as Sun Chun was about to close the door, Xiang Nan suddenly raised his head and asked, "General Sun, was the last time you searched before or after Linhai Town's townsfolk disappeared?"
"It was before," Sun Chun said.
"Understood." Xiang Nan nodded.
This was a crime committed against the wind. After the army had just searched, the enemies in the shadows immediately captured all the people in Linhai Town.
Moreover, according to the souls of the townsfolk, the Linhai townsfolk had not disappeared for seven days, because after the human soul was separated from the flesh, it would dissipate in seven days.
"Why?" Xiang Nan's right hand gently tapped on the table as he pondered for a while.
There were only three possibilities for the enemy to make such a big commotion at this time.
Firstly, the enemy really did not place the Haotian Army in their eyes, but this possibility was the smallest.
Second, the enemy might be from the military, or rather, Sun Chun himself! This possibility wasn't high, but just in case, Xiang Nan still didn't tell Sun Chun what he had seen and heard.
The third possibility was that the enemy was planning something, and it was already at the final stage. That was why they chose to act against the wind and capture tens of thousands of people in one go.
Xiang Nan poured himself a glass of wine and slowly drank it. He muttered to himself, "Regardless of the possibility, that enemy or demonic beast is definitely not something easy to deal with."
"They can instantly extract the souls of the townsfolk in this town. It must be related to the Corrupt path. I have to be fully prepared before I can make a move."
As he spoke, he pushed the wine cup away, spread out the Sun God Technique on the table, and continued to study the incantation.
At this moment, he did not have the strength to defend himself against the Bai Yan Lightning. If he encountered a great demon, it would probably be difficult to deal with him. He could only cram his feet and start with the Sun God Technique.
The Sun God Technique was the purest Yang technique. This technique should be the greatest nemesis of any evil creature in the world.
As Xiang Nan flipped through it, his hands began to compare strokes, but no matter how much he practiced it, it seemed that he could not find the path of the Sun God Technique.
Gradually, it was dawn. Xiang Nan cleaned up briefly and walked into the courtyard.
He narrowed his eyes and looked up at Chen Yang. He used his body to feel the temperature of the sunlight and thought, "The first time I saw Master cultivate the Sun God Technique was at night. There was no sunlight at that time."
"However, she still attracted a ray of sunlight to envelop her body. That means that what Sun Shen Gong absorbs is not the real sunlight in the traditional sense."
It was as if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed by a martial artist came from the air. However, it was not real air, but the essence of everything in the world.
Based on this calculation, the Sun Divine Art did not absorb pure sunlight. Instead, it absorbed the essence of light condensed by sunlight illuminating the world. This essence would pervade the world, so it could also be absorbed at night.
"Then the most important thing I should do now is to sense the essence of light? Living is called spiritual energy of light."
Xiang Nan closed his eyes and sensed the abundant Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth. The first thing a martial artist needed to learn to sense Spiritual Qi was the Spiritual Qi Sensing Chapter.
However, the Sun God Technique did not have a Sun Sensing section. This meant that the process of sensing sunlight was different for everyone, so they were unable to write an incantation.
Xiang Nan sat down cross-legged and quietly bathed in the sunlight, as if he had calmed down and remained motionless.
From the morning sun to the afternoon sun to the evening red.
During this period, Sun Chun came twice. Seeing that Xiang Nan was cultivating, he didn't have the nerve to disturb him and left tactfully.
Then at night, Xiang Nan was still sensing the difference between day and night, allowing Xiang Nan to discover some small differences in perception.
This difference was a flash of inspiration. Xiang Nan tried his best to grasp this kind of inspiration. He knew that he was not far from sensing the spiritual energy of light.
It was as if he had caught a small tail of something, but that thing was very naughty and he kept running away.
The little bird chirped on the tree branch. On the top of the tree hung gold and silver jewelry that it had stolen from somewhere, and it was cheerfully calling out.
Xiang Nan sat from night until late at night, and then from late at night until dawn.
When dawn arrived and the first ray of sunlight shone on Xiang Nan's body, Xiang Nan suddenly shook!
A feeling of restlessness sprouted in his heart. It was as if he was about to grasp the location of the Spiritual Qi of Light!
But at this moment, someone suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard. The sound of footsteps interrupted Xiang Nan at the most critical moment.
Xiang Nan was both angry and helpless. He could only open his eyes and say, "General Sun, is something the matter?"
Sun Chun apologetically spread out his hands and said, "It was not that I insisted on interrupting you. I really have something important to discuss with you."
"Those disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect have already gone to the Qing Shui Forest. Actually, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but I didn't have the heart to interrupt your cultivation."
"But they didn't come back last night. That's why I had no choice but to look for you."
Xiang Nan was shocked and shouted, "What? They entered the Qing Shui Forest? This is bullshit! General Sun, you've seen their strength before. Why didn't you stop them?"
Those 30 plus Azure Cloud Sect disciples weren't strong enough. At best, they were just ordinary disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. They weren't like Wang Xiaoyun, who belonged to the core disciples of a second-rate sect.
Wouldn't a guy of this strength be courting death if he went to the Qing Shui Forest?
Sun Chun said helplessly, "There's nothing I could do. They keep saying that they want to complete the mission before you, proving that they are stronger than you."
"Not to mention, they accepted the mission just like you. I have no right to stop them."
"Otherwise, if the Azure Cloud Sect asks me, I won't be able to explain myself."
Xiang Nan no longer listened to so much and immediately set off, "I am heading to the Qing Shui Forest now. My griffin is inconvenient to move in the forest. Please prepare a fast horse for me, General Sun!"
