Human Clan Defender-Chapter 627 - s Gathering Information, Remnants of the Ghost Saint’s Soul (Two in One, Request for Monthly Tickets)_4

Shen Changqing felt a trace of emotion. The life force of the Demon Clan is truly formidable and terrifying. Even if their main body perishes and is sealed within this place, the remaining half of their body can maintain vitality for a hundred years. In other words, such powerful beings, if they had separated a part of their flesh and Divine Soul in advance and placed it in a hidden location, could almost guarantee their immortality. However, there is a significant risk to this method. If the separated flesh and Divine Soul were too weak, they would struggle to survive long, and even if they did, it would be extremely difficult to revive. If too much power was left behind, it would greatly diminish their own strength. Just like the Ghost Saint. Half of his body was severed, and it took him a hundred years before he dared to surface again. What he was doing during those hundred years is self-evident.

Upon hearing this, the remnant body of the Ghost Saint trembled. "Could it be that my main body fell at your hands?"

Although he now only possesses half of his Divine Soul, his sensory power is still extremely strong, allowing him to clearly detect the terrifying power emanating from Shen Changqing. This power... it even makes him feel alarmed.

"Indeed, your main body did fall into my hands," Shen Changqing readily admitted.

The remnant body of the Ghost Saint spoke, "So, you've come to kill me now?"

"Indeed."

"As expected..." The Ghost Saint remained silent for a long while.

At that moment, Shen Changqing's tone softened slightly. "But I have a few questions for you. If you answer them, I might give you a chance to live."

"You won't. You can deceive them, but not me." The voice of the Ghost Saint's remnant body was calm. Clearly, he was aware of what had happened on the eighth floor.

This time, it was Shen Changqing who fell silent. The most awkward thing is having one's lie exposed right to their face.

The remnant body of the Ghost Saint said, "In fact, I anticipated this situation ever since I was imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Tower. Even if you don't kill me, my main body wouldn't spare me if I were to leave. In any case, it's death either way, so why care by whose hands I die?"

He is the Ghost Saint's half-body, and the Divine Soul within him is also half of the Ghost Saint's original Divine Soul. But the problem is, a hundred years have passed, and the main body has certainly already replenished the missing half of its Divine Soul. Therefore, if he were to leave the Demon Sealing Tower, the main body would definitely seek him out, devour him, and convert him into its own strength. After a hundred years of separation, though the Divine Souls are from the same One Origin, different thoughts have already emerged; it is no longer as straightforward as before.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing began to understand why the Ghost Saint's remnant body was so calm.

"Moreover," the remnant continued, "now that my main body has fallen at your hands, how could you let me go? I am a Demon Saint; even a severely injured one is a catastrophic disaster for ordinary members of the Human Clan. With the irreconcilable hatred between our races, as a Great Qin Defender, would you make the mistake of releasing a tiger back into the mountains?"

The Ghost Saint's remnant body had seen through it all. From the moment I entered the Demon Sealing Tower, my fate was sealed. Back when my main body was still alive, the outcome would have been the same whether I left or not. Now that the main body is dead, my chances of leaving are even more remote.

"It seems you've thought it all through!" Taking a deep breath, Shen Changqing felt a sense of helplessness. Faced with such a philosophical and resigned remnant of the Ghost Saint, he gave up on getting any answers from him.

At the same time, Shen Changqing also noticed something. The personality of the Ghost Saint's remnant body is very different from the Ghost Saint at the Fallen Saint Pass. The former is more open-minded and confident in his speech, whereas the latter is far less so.

"However, there's one thing I can tell you: the Demon God is very powerful, far stronger than you are now. Even if you can slay my current form, you cannot contend with the Demon God's existence. It won't be long before the Demon God officially arrives. To think you can turn the tide with your strength alone is just wishful thinking."

The remnant body of the Ghost Saint spoke slowly.
