Chapter 228 Two choices
“You really can’t tell us?”

Zhou Qing stared at Hu Lingling. His dark eyes reflected Hu Lingling’s disheveled figure filled with resentment.

However, Hu Lingling lowered her head and said nothing more.

“Okay, then we won’t bother you anymore.”

Zhou Qing turned around and apologized, “I’m really sorry for making you like this, but I hope you can be a good person in the future.”

“roll!”

At this moment, anger, fear, resentment, shame and other emotions once again surged into Hu Lingling’s heart, causing her to curse, “I never want to see you again in my life! To see you bastards!”

“Do you have to be so angry?”

Zhou Qing muttered quietly as he went up the stairs with Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina. They all looked quite disheveled.

“Zhou Qing, I didn’t expect you to be so good at talking. You made her look so embarrassed with just a few words.” Xiao Wu said jokingly.

“I didn’t expect her to be so ‘sensitive’.” Zhou Qing sighed slightly and said to Tang San, “Xiao San, the soul power circulates in the meridians, which will cause the tendons to break. There is probably only one reason. Something went wrong and stimulated other flesh and blood tissues in the body. In a short period of time, it can greatly enhance the body’s functions, but the longer the time is delayed, the greater the burden on the body will be, and finally the balance in the body will be broken, causing the body to collapse in the end.”

To put it more scientifically, it is the incorrect operation of soul power that stimulates the relevant neural networks or glands in the human body, causing a large amount of hormones that can stimulate the human body to be secreted, thus making people always in a state of over-excitement or even madness.

If you stay in this state for a long time, your body will naturally not be able to bear it and your brain will also suffer serious damage.

However, Tang San definitely did not have the concept of “hormones”, so Zhou Qing did not say it clearly, but only said that there was something wrong with the operation of soul power, which stimulated the flesh and blood tissues.

“Well, this method of circulating soul power is very dangerous, and it will only be done when one is desperate.”

Tang San had also heard of this method of circulating soul power in his previous life:

A certain evil martial artist was being hunted by the righteous disciples. As a last resort, he used a technique called “Demon Disintegration Technique” to allow his internal strength to surge in an instant, and killed all the righteous disciples who were hunting him.

But in the end, he died of exhaustion. When he was found by other righteous people, his internal organs were shattered, his muscles were broken, and his bones were almost turned into powder.

In short, this method is extremely dangerous. Although it can burst out powerful force, the consequences are simply unbearable for the human body.

Unexpectedly, among the soul masters of this world, there is actually someone who has created this method, and because of the existence of the martial soul, there is a possibility of survival after using it.

“I think this may be a method created by the Fallen.” Zhou Qing talked about the “Origin of Martial Souls” that he had seen in the library of the Notting Martial Soul Branch Hall. “The Fallen can also do research, and can even look at problems from angles that normal soul masters cannot see. But when they really study related topics, their confusion in thinking will cause various experiments to be unreproducible.”

The fallen also do research?
Tang San was slightly stunned, but when he categorized the Fallen into the “evil people” and “demonic people” of his previous life, he understood.

They just crossed the moral bottom line of being human, which doesn’t mean they are stupid.

“So, Hu Lingling is a Fallen?” Tang San felt that as a righteous person, he could not coexist with the evil and demonic ways, so he thought it would be better to kill Hu Lingling. “It’s hard to tell at the moment, but I can only say that her desperate method just now might have come from a Fallen.”

Zhou Qing did not jump to any conclusion. “Specifically, we have to find Hu Fangyuan first!”

“Hu Fangyuan’s surname is also Hu. Are he and Hu Lingling siblings?” Xiao Wu guessed.

“It’s not certain yet, maybe they have the same surname. The only thing we can be sure of is that the two of them should be close. At least Hu Lingling has something close to ‘love’ for Hu Fangyuan, and Hu Fangyuan… we haven’t seen him in person, but judging from the information given by Butler Xiao, he should care about Hu Lingling a lot, but whether he has other purposes is unknown.” Zhou Qing shook his head, “After all, if he is really a fallen person, he can break the bottom line of being a human being for power, and even abandon his parents, relatives, brothers and sisters at will, or even use them.”

“People like this don’t deserve to live in this world!” Tang San was filled with righteous indignation, wishing he could kill all these evil demons.

“I just took the wrong road.” Zhou Qing glanced at Tang San and continued to talk about Hu Lingling, “Under what circumstances would an eighteen-year-old girl not care about her chastity?”

“For the soul bones.”

Xiao Wu gave the answer she could see. After all, Hu Lingling was captured because of Zhou Qing’s soul bone.

“Yes, soul bones.” Zhou Qing’s mind was not on the soul bones, “So, this kind of people can never be killed off. As long as there are still people pursuing power, they will always exist.”

These words were naturally said to Tang San.

Tang San did listen to it, but he frowned slightly. After all, according to Zhou Qing’s words, the fallen people will always exist and can never be eliminated.

More importantly, does this seem to be true?

In previous lives, all the major martial arts sects had been cracking down on evildoers, but those people always managed to reappear, and some even established evil sects to compete with the major forces of the righteous path.

Why is this so?
Tang San pondered and finally found the answer from Zhou Qing’s words: the pursuit of power.

If this doesn’t change, nothing will change!
Thinking of this, Tang San looked at Zhou Qing calmly, and once again keenly noticed the hesitation in Zhou Qing’s eyes –

[Brother Qing, you have a pair of eyes that can see through the essence of the problem, and you also have the idea of ​​changing, but the vigor and spirit you had in the Holy Soul Village has been lost in part…
You want to change everything, but you are afraid that you will be assimilated by everything in this world…
Only when you focus on the research of martial soul, soul power, qi and blood, will you regain that confidence, but this should not be everything for you.

You need the courage to face it all! 】

Zhou Qing, who didn’t know what Tang San was thinking, continued: “Now, we have two choices.”

Romantina asked, “What choice?”

“The first is that we continue to follow our own ideas and explore the traces of that Soul Sect.”

“As for the second one, tell this to Master Mashuno. The other party may not be a simple Soul Sect, but a Fallen Soul Sect. He may have some extremely strange and unpredictable means. Although we have many trump cards, such as the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, we should not expose them if we can…”
