"No matter how difficult it is to deal with Fei Yi, it will not stop me from finding the ancient battle souls." Sima You Yue said, "They have sped up. I think they want to rush in front of us to capture the ancient battle soul. They might set some traps for us in the process."

"Then we will have to speed up as well. If they capture the ancient battle souls, we would have wasted this trip," Black Shadow said.

"Yes, we must speed up." Sima You Yue said, "However, we will not continue going this way."

"We're not taking this route? Then which route will we take?"

"A detour."

In this small space, Fei Yi and her could feel the presence of each other. If they chased after them, they were only giving Fei Yi a chance to kill them. They might as well take a detour. Although it would be wasting their time, it was safer and Fei Yi would not be able to judge their speed according to her position.

Hence, they no longer walked in a straight line, instead they travelled via the pavement that was slanted in another direction.

"They disappeared." Fei Yi said.

"This means they are no longer tailing us?" Xie Hun said, "Since we managed to shake them off so quickly, it looks like their Array Master cannot be compared to Fei Yi at all!"

Fei Yi ignored his flattery, and said to Yan Ya, "There is another possibility, they are no longer travelling via this route."

"How could it be! They must know that we have entered this place. Since they know that we are in front of them, if they didn't take this route, how could they possibly catch up to us." Xie Hun said disapprovingly.

This route was the route nearest to the battlefield. If they didn't take this route, they would have to take a detour, which was a longer route. Judging the current situation, it did not seem feasible.

"Let's not care about them for now. We shall go and capture the ancient battle souls," Yan Ya said. As long as the ancient battle souls are captured, then the mission this time is considered completed.

It didn't matter if they took this route. Once the ancient battle souls were captured, it wouldn't matter what tricks they played.

They continued to progress forward. The nearer they drew to the centre, the more unstable the spaces became. They had no choice but to slow down.

They walked carefully this way for a few days.

"According to our previous calculations, we will reach the centre of the battlefield with only half a day more. Reaching here, we would be able to encounter the ancient battle souls." Fei Yi said.

"Then we should hurry!" Xie Hun could not contain himself when he thought that he would be able to obtain the ancient battle souls.

Yan Ya took a glance at him. He could not understand why Xiao He chose someone like him to be a commander. He had seen the top ten commanders. Each of them had outstanding talent, so why did it not apply to him?

"We can't speed up even if we wanted to." Fei Yi said, "The space here is very unstable. Once it collapses, this little realm might not be able to withstand it. If this little realm collapses, the ancient battle souls will disappear along with it."

Alright, Xie Hun did not speak anymore. Either way, if they could not speed up, the people behind would also be able to overtake them either.

Half a day later, they had indeed reached the centre of the battlefield. Once they entered the range, they saw a few ancient battle souls drifting around.

Ancient battle souls and people from the Soul Region had not much differences. They were both considered spirits from the afterlife. However, because they have been in this small and cramped space for too long, their consciousness began to fade over time, so they could only float around foolishly. If they could take control over them now and make them into slaves, they would not able to go against them even when they regained their consciousness.

"Yan Ya, we previously agreed to split however many ancient battle souls here in half. General is still waiting for me to bring the ancient battle souls back to report, so I will capture these two first." Xie Hun said.

"Up to you." Yan Ya was too lazy to argue with such a person, it was only two ancient battle souls.

Once Xie Hun received a definite answer, he took out a soul stone, wanting to capture the two ancient battle souls.

The soul stone had no effects towards the ancient battle souls at all. Normal ancient battle souls would sub-consciously enter the stone once they encountered the soul stone, but the two ancient battle souls glanced at the stone with no intention to go in.

"They actually refused to enter the soul stone!" Xie Hun was taken aback. The soul stone had a big attraction for ancient battle souls with no consciousness, but these two could actually resist the temptation!

No, it should be mentioned that this little temptation was nothing to them!

Yan Ya and Fei Yi were also surprised. They really were ancient battle souls. Even after so many years, even after time had faded their consciousness and they had become muddleheaded, they were still so strong!

Yan Ya started to take an interest in the ancient battle souls. He felt that they were worthy to be his subordinates.

"I do not believe that you can really resist." Xie Hun said while using his spiritual energy and propped the soul stone above them. He released his spirit energy, wanting to capture them in.

However, the two ancient battle souls were still at their original spot, not moving an inch. Although his underworld skills made them feel uncomfortable, they still refused to enter the soul stone.

Actually, they also had no idea how long they had been floating around for. They also didn't know why they had to float around here, but they just refused to go into the black stone. Their intuition told them that they should not enter that thing, and something dangerous would happen if they entered.

Xie Hun increased his spiritual energy and the two ancient battle souls furrowed their brows, they waved their hands in frustration and Xie Hun immediately flew away, almost falling into a spatial fault. It was Yan Ya who pulled him up at the last minute, saving him.

"These ancient battle souls are too strong!" Xie Hun touched his chest, feeling scared but a little excited. They were such strong ancient battle souls. If he captured them, his ability would be able to overtake a few others.

"They're not easy to deal with." Fei Yi told Yan Ya.

"Indeed, it's not suitable to attack them directly." Yan Ya said while taking out a jade flute. He placed it at the side of his mouth and blew into it lightly.

The ancient battle souls' eyes were still very clear. Following the sound of the flute, their vision slowly blurred, as their eyes finally turned sorrowful. Their bodies emitted traces of despair as they looked up at the soul stone and flew into the soul stone together.

Only when Yan Ya placed the jade flute down did Xie Hun began to regain his consciousness from the music attack. He immediately flew across to pick up the soul stone.

"I really need to thank you this time." He nodded his head at Yan Ya, these words of gratitude had not much sincerity.

Yan Ya scoffed at his current behaviour. His long fingers held onto his jade flute as he said faintly, "Commander, you have seen the ancient battle souls here. The only fear is that, looking at your ability, it seems like you won't be able to capture them!"

Xie Hun immediately held his soul stone tightly, looked at him vigilantly, "What are you trying to say? We came to an agreement that these two are mine."

"I have no intention to snatch yours." Yan Ya said.

"Then what is your intention?"

"What I am trying to say is that you will need my help from now onwards, so shouldn't you help me too?" Yan Ya gently touched his jade flute, not looking at him.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Xie Hun let out a breath of relief after knowing that he was not after the ancient battle souls.

Yan Ya smiled and said, "Actually, it is not a big matter, I heard that you have seen Qing Hun's Cardinal Points Divine Seal, I only want to ask you what the divine seal looks like."
