Chapter 1252: Soul Imprisoned
lf, was half-buried in snow and ice, with only half of its head exposed.Lowering his head, Jiang Yun carefully examined the carcass. He discovered that it wasn't killed by freezing or starvation, but...No damage to the hole!
Although Ginger Cloud's voice was soft, these three words were like three bolts of thunder, exploding in everyone's ears and hearts.
Because this name represents a monstrously talented genius, it represents the Kong family at its peak.
Within this area, or maybe even throughout the entire world, there may be people who don't know Guan Zhifei, but absolutely no one would not know Kong Wushang's name.
After all, Kong Wushang's heaven-defying aptitude to simultaneously cultivate the powers of the five elements back then was truly astonishing!
Kong Wushang's sudden disappearance, coupled with Kong Xuehai and others announcing to the outside world that Kong Wushang was dead, has left many people feeling saddened.
It was precisely with Kong Wushang's demise that the Kong family gradually declined from its former glory.
However, no one had expected that this genius who had disappeared for decades would reappear at a time when the Kong family was facing life and death.
After a moment of silence, Zong Bai suddenly let out a cold laugh. He took a step forward and stood directly in front of Jiang Yun, his eyes like electricity as he stared at Jiang Yun and said, “Are you Kong Wu Shang”
Jiang Yunning calmly said, "I am Kong Wushang!"
Although Ginger Cloud could clearly feel that Zong Bai was using his divine sense to check his internal condition, Ginger Cloud wasn't worried at all.
Although Zong Bai's strength is high, he is still a bit worse than Lei Bao.
...while he himself disguised himself as Meng Guan within the Lei Ji Tian, even Lei Bao couldn't see through his disguise in the slightest. Zong Bai was certainly not capable of seeing through it.
Even Zong Bai could only see what he wanted to see!
While Zong Bai scrutinized Jiang Yun, the crowd invited by Guan Jia above the valley couldn't help but discuss among themselves.
"Is he really unharmed"
"At least on the outside, it should be him. I met him once back then. Compared to now, his appearance hasn't changed much, just a bit more mature!"
Judging him solely based on his appearance wouldn't be enough to confirm he is Kong Wu Shang, after all, there are many secret methods that can change a person's appearance.
"Then I don't know, but right now Senior Zong is clearly judging his authenticity."
"The master of the past, was his teacher after all. If this person were an imposter, it would be absolutely impossible for him to deceive the master."
Guan Peng's face no longer held his usual smile, but had grown somber instead.
Especially his own son, Guan Zhifei's terrified expression when he saw Kong Wushang was truly embarrassing for him.
Because this just proves what Kong Wushang said earlier, he didn't remove his mask because he was afraid Guan Zhifei lacked the courage to make a move.
Of course, Guan Peng was also a little skeptical. He wasn't entirely sure if Kong Wushang truly was Kong Wushang, so he was also waiting for Zong Bai's final conclusion.
As for the Kong family, besides being shocked, there was naturally some suspicion, but more importantly, there was anticipation.
They sincerely hoped to stand in the center of the valley, it was their own Kong family's young master, the very same demonic genius from back then.
This way, not only can the Kong family escape today's peril, but they also have a very high chance of regaining everything they lost and returning to their peak state.
Under the gaze and anticipation of everyone, Zong Bai finally slowly opened his mouth and said: "Since you are unscathed, why don't you kneel when you see your master"
Zong Bai's words plunged everyone into shock once again, while the members of the Kong family, even Kong Xuehai and Kong Benchu, wore smiles of delight.
Apparently, Zong Bai didn't find any flaws in Jiang Yun's demeanor. He even basically believed that the person before him, Kong Wu Shang, was indeed Kong Wu Shang!
"Master" Jiang Yun still said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, I don't remember having a master like you!"
"Be bold!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zong Bai was instantly furious. The people around him couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Kōng Wúshāng actually dared to say such words, this is simply betraying the sect and destroying his ancestors!
Seeing Zong Bai about to become angry, Kong Xuehai finally spoke: "Senior Zong, please calm down. Wushang didn't mean any disrespect to you. He truly doesn't remember!"
"We actually found Wu Shang a year ago, but his soul seemed to be imprisoned by someone, causing him to almost completely forget the past. So after we brought him back, we didn't tell anyone and couldn't break the imprisonment."
"To this day, he still cannot recall past events, only that he is Kong Wushang!"
After listening to Kong Xuehai's words, Zong Bai sneered and said, "Soul imprisoned"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zong Bai didn't give Jiang Yun any time to react. He suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on top of Jiang Yun's head, sending his divine sense directly into Jiang Yun's soul.
However, just a moment later, Zong Bai's expression changed drastically. He let out a muffled grunt, his palm leaving Jiang Yun's head, and his figure staggered back a step!
Just as his divine sense touched Jiang Yun's soul, he immediately felt a terrifying power surging out from within him. It not only directly shocked his divine sense back, but also some of the power seeped into his own body.
After standing still for a moment, Zong Bai's face turned extremely ugly.
Although there was still a hint of suspicion in his gaze towards Jiang Yun, his heart had already believed most of it!
The power to push back against him like that couldn't possibly be from Jiang Yun. This means there must truly be a restriction within Jiang Yun's soul, and it could only have been left by someone stronger than himself!
Moments later, Zong Bai suddenly sneered and said, “First, you spar with Zhifei. Let me see how much your cultivation has improved over the years!”
After uttering that sentence, Zong Bai's figure retreated back to its original position. However, his words finally allowed Kong Xuehai, Kong Benchu, and Kong Meng's hearts to completely settle down.
All of these statements were told to them by Ginger Cloud, making them say so.
...and they were always uneasy, after all, being imprisoned souls was a rather ethereal concept. While it might be possible to fool others, it was highly unlikely that Bai Zong wouldn't notice.
Now, Zong Bai's words are proof that he at least believes half of it.
The reason why they still had Jiang Yun and Guan Zhifei compete was naturally to see if Jiang Yun could display the power of the Five Elements!
As for this, Kong Xuehai and they are already not worried at all!
Everyone around naturally knew that Zong Bai had confirmed Kong Wu Shang's identity!
Even those cultivators who had originally been invited by the Guan family began to ponder whether they should change their attitude towards the Guan and Kong families, some of the quicker-witted ones already doing so.
At this moment, the Guan family members are the angriest and most helpless.
Especially Guan Peng, if his eyes could kill, he would have killed Jiang Yun a thousand or even a million times by now.
Because he also knew better than anyone else, if Kong Wushang really came back, it was very likely that he would be taken back into Zong Bai's sect.
And his own son Guan Zhifei, even if he could still be Zong Bai's disciple, Zong Bai would definitely no longer pay excessive attention to his son.
After all, Kong Wushang's talent far surpasses Guan Zhifei's.
At that time, the situations of the Guan and Kong families will reverse. The Guan family will decline, while the Kong family will rise again!
Thinking of this, Guan Peng solemnly transmitted his voice to his son: "Zhi Fei, use all your strength, do everything you can to kill Kong Wu-shang!"
Before Guan Zhifei could understand the meaning behind his father's words, Jiang Yun, standing opposite him, also spoke up: "Now, are you sure you still want me to make the first move"
