Chapter 105 - Separating the Soul

Yang Tian took out a pearl bed from his storage space and lied Ting Ting down on it. After that he produced a crystal clear lotus. This lotus, even in the Cultivation World, was known to only a select few. However at higher planes of existence like the Spirit World, it was very famous. It was called the Soul Nurturing Lotus.

When looking at it from a medical standpoint, the Multiple Personality Disorder that Ting Ting is suffering stems from the brain. However from a Cultivator's standpoint, this was because her soul had fragmented. This meant that there were two personality inside the soul and controlled it at different times.

There were two solution to this. One is two merge the two personality and the stronger one would completely take over. Of course Yang Tian wouldn't choose this method since Ting Ting's normal personality wouldn't stand a chance against the assassin one.

So the only option is number two, directly split her soul in half and destroy the assassin's soul. It sound very dangerous but with Yang Tian's strength, this was actually very easy. However after her soul is split, she won't be able to wake up anymore. 

Because of this, Yang Tian planned to use the Soul Nurturing Lotus to nurture her soul until it recovers. This would take quite a bit of time but luckily her soul was week to begin with so the recovery time wouldn't be that long. According to Yang Tian's estimate, it would take no more than 3 years.

Yang Tian put his hand on her forehead and began to invade her mind. Inside a dark space without beginning or end, Ting Ting's soul was floating aimlessly. Her eyes were closed and her face was split into two. Once side was as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion. The other side showed a very youthful and cute expression.

Although she had the Soul Nurturing Lotus to protect her, the process of splitting her soul would be painful nonetheless. Yang Tian flew towards Ting Ting and said in a whisper:

- Sorry, I hope you and I will see each other soon.

As he said that, Yang Tian pulled a lotus petal and threw it towards her soul. After that he produced a sword. This sword, called Soul Annihilation, was a part of his soulbound Dharmic artifact. It was mainly used to slice through souls as well as demons and monsters.

As soon as the blade was brandished, Ting Ting's soul felt threatened. Yang Tian held his sword high and lighting slashed down. Her soul immediately split into two. From his hand a small flame flew out and the soul containing the assassin personality turned to nothingness.

At the very moment, Ting Ting only had half her soul left and it was showing signs of dissolution. One of the petals of the Soul Nurturing Lotus immediately appeared on top of her head. It made a grey light that enveloped her soul. Yang Tian sighed and then vanished.

When he opened his eyes, he softly touched Ting Ting's face:

- See you soon.

As he said that, Yang Tian was already outside the base. It was chaos inside the base as the bombs that Yang Tian and Qing Wu had planted in the beginning had already exploded. There were screams and wails constantly being emanated out of the base. Yang Tian pointed his fingers and a pillar of light enveloped the entire base.

As the light faded, it left a hole so deep that one wouldn't even be able to see the bottom. Suddenly the sand surrounding the hole was sucked into it like a river pouring down. It quickly filled up the hole. The scenery once again returned to normal.

Yang Tian looked back at the endless desert once more before turning to leave. Returning to the city, Yang Tian immediately went to Qing Wu's home but found no one. All of her belongings have been cleaned out. In the near future, Yang Tian would have no easy way to find her so he could only wait for her to come to him.

This time he didn't need to sit in a cargo hold anymore. Yang Tian was home in a blink of an eye. He hadn't used his phone in a couple of days and forgot to charge it so it was out. As soon as he went to charge it, Yang Tian saw a bunch of missed calls. He subsequently called everyone to ensure them that he was fine before calling Ye Wen Tian last.

- Do you have something urgent? You tried to call me like 100 times in the last couple of days. Is it that Blodd Devil business again?

Ye Wen Tian got the call from Yang Tian and quickly answered:

- Yes, it's him again.

- Then don't cal me again, I said that I won't be involve in this.

Yang Tian was about to hang up before Ye Wen Tian quickly said:

- Wait, there was a major development. It has to do with the Devil Sect.

Hearing Ye Wen Tian's urgent voice, Yang Tian felt a bit intrigued:

- Alright, out with it.

Ye Wen Tian breath out a sigh of relief and thanked his lucky star that Yang Tian was interested:

- Over the last couple of days, there have been many strange cases of murder happening all over the world. The victims all had there blood drained dry. When we investigated the crime scenes, we always discovered signs of devilish qi. Not only that, we've discovered a strange type of spell formation appearing across the world. I don't know how high that Blood Devil's cultivation is but he couldn't possibly have done all of that in such a short time.

- From all of that, we deduced that the Devil Sect is behind all this. This had made all the sects and clans furious. They've united and headed to the Devil Sect to get an answer. However when they got there, the place was completely abandoned with no one in sight.

- This made all the major forces in the world very nervous and they intend on setting a meeting to discuss a plan of action. Since we were the ones that discovered the existence of the Blood Devil, they are choosing this place as the meeting place. However we have no clue about the Blood Devil so we need you to represent us.

Yang Tian heard all of that and frowned. He didn't care about the Devil Sect of the Blood Devil. The thing that got him most worried was Liao Mei's safety. If the Blood Devil and the Devil Sect was intricately linked then Yang Tian had an inkling why there was a massive amount of devilish qi inside her.

- Yang Tian, what do you think? Why aren't you saying anything.

- It's nothing. This doesn't need my representation. Just tell the Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak that this was due to their negligence in the past. They'll understand.

Ye Wen Tian quickly understood the gist of the problem:

- You mean the Blood Devil is the clone of that supreme cultivator? The clone was that sealed by the Heavenly Mountain Sacred Peak all those years ago?

- Exactly, it was all because of them. They'll have a plan to to handle it. You guys deal with the rest.

Without waiting for Ye Wen Tian to answer, Yang Tian had already turned off his phone. He was now very worried about Liao Mei's safety so how could have the time to deal with their nonsense.

According to his estimate, that Blood Devil would still need a large amount of blood before he could recover the strength he loss due to the seal. So in the meantime, Liao Mei was safe. With her intellect, she had probably figured all of this out a long time ago. Yang Tian used his Grand Clairvoyance Spell and a blue river appeared and swirled around him.

Inside the river was countless image of humans to animals. Each were animated and lifelike beyond belief. The river subsequently flowed through Yang Tian's head and disappeared in it. Yang Tian was focused on every little detail and about 5 minutes later, the river stopped.

Yang Tian's mind was focused on the black figure that was Liao Mei. She was now hiding in a small house somewhere on the American continent and cultivating some sort of secret arts. Yang Tian continued to observe what happened  during the following days and Liao Mei was still there. No one had come to find her.

It seemed that no one knew her location. With his knowledge, Yang Tian could tell that Liao Mei would have to take more than half a year before she would be able to cultivate that secret art successfully. This meant that she wasn't in any danger in the near future.

Yang Tian was about to go to her but seeing that she was safe, he stopped himself. Without anything else to do, Yang Tian went outside to get some dinner before going to an electronic store. His laptop was caught in the earlier explosion so he needed to buy a new one. After trying out League of Legends, Yang Tian was hooked. The next time they meet, he wouldn't let Ting Ting look down on him anymore.
