Looking for 9 Emperor Wives
Chapter 40 The soul without body

Jiyu went from the Dark God follower base while carrying Jade Hong, because to the precarious situation the confused Jiyu wanted to take the injured and unconscious Jade Hong to where.

Jiyu continued to drive his horse away from the mountainous area and Eunsang Village, he also could not bring Jade Hong to the palace because of the traitor he did not know.

Jiyu had thought he would bring Jade Hong to the alchemy Association, but he was afraid that the place would also be infiltrated by the enemy.

Jiyu kept riding all day and she just stopped, when she reached a village that Jiyu did not know her name and she rented a room in the inn.

Jiyu again treated Jade Hong's wound even more thoroughly, he ingested liquid medicine and transferred qi energy into Jade Hong's body to make her conscious and heal, Jiyu also treated her own wounds.

Ergo managed to catch up with Jiyu to where he was staying, Ergo's condition was so terrible that his fur fell out, he broke his side and his wings were injured even though not so badly that he could still fly.

While there are Ace and Aro who are in the space ring they only experience wings and broken legs.

Jiyu then healed them all and they gathered inside the ring of universe left Jade Hong who was asleep in the inn room.

"Why can't that human-like black shadow be attacked?, even by your purgatory?," asked Aro curiously.

"That's because the shadow is a soul, a soul without a body cannot be attacked,"

"I just remembered a long time ago when the followers of the Dark Gods were only aware of cases like this ever happened," Jiyu said while holding a forehead and remembering what happened in the past.

"The disembodied soul cannot be attacked by divine fire unless it has a body." Ergo said.

They were discussing what happened during the battle at the Dark Gods Followers headquarters.

"Then why did the other General generals get destroyed with your purgatory?, and they also had a body from the previous body" asked Ace.

"That's because generals who have low-level souls can maintain their old bodies when they are killed, and try to be revived. Their old bodies can still take it."

"While the Souls are of a higher level when killed and revived, their old bodies cannot hold their power so that their old bodies are destroyed. So they need a new body that suits their soul," said Jiyu explained patiently over to Aro and Ace's curiosity.

"So the black shadow will look for a new mother, and after that can only be killed?" asked Aro to confirm.

"It's our job to find out. In whose body the soul will dwell," said Ergo lazily, because already know for sure Jiyu will order her again to find out.

Jiyu smirked at Ergo's grunt, she indeed knew herself the most without many words.

"Doctor from anywhere?," asked Jade Hong who was awake and saw Jiyu opening the door from the outside, while carrying a tray of food.

"I'm from downstairs, eat you must be hungry" said Jiyu.

"Had, we couldn't go back to the capital and now we're in a small village. I don't know exactly where we are now" Jiyu said.

Jiyu watched Jade Hong eat in silence, with thoughts venturing into the past.

"Doctor Jiyu?, do you know if the soldier I brought survived?," asked Jade Hong Shaking Jiyu who was daydreaming.

"I don't think, maybe even your elite troops were all killed. But did you see who shot your arm?" asked Jiyu to confirm.

"Isn't it obvious that it might do, why do doctors still ask?" jade Hong asked frowned and did not know why Jiyu was still asking such a sure thing.

"No, the one who shot you was one of your elite troops. Which means there's a traitor in the palace and we're trapped by them, to come to their base so they can kill you." Jiyu said while projecting what she saw before.

Jade Hong saw it turn wide and she tried to deny it.

"Doctors must be wrong, I've known them for a long time. There's no way they're just gonna betray me."

"But think about it, attacks in many villages. Then the trail that we can easily find, even though for years the empire searched their headquarters and never met. Although there used to be attacks but when pursued the empire never found traces left."

"And again they know that the emperor's majesty will order you to lead an army, so that they are easier to kill you. And if you die then the empire will falter because without an heir, while the emperor is sickly," said Jiyu trying to convince the doubtful Jade hong.

Jade Hong thought and after a long moment of contemplation, about all the events they had experienced. He finally agreed with Jiyu's opinion despite not fully believing it.

Elsewhere, a dark shadow figure resembling a human with his flaming red eyes was sitting on a stone chair and scattered debris, he said, in front of him were dozens of people standing and looking down. They were the Dark Gods' surviving followers.

"Find me a new body, for me to occupy and after that I will help you" the figure said.

"Master there are 2 bodies that may be suitable for you at this time, the first one is Helio and the princess' fiancee and she is also our follower. The 2nd elite soldier who shot the princess," someone among the crowd made a suggestion.

The figure then saw 2 bodies placed in front of him. "make the Helio And these are our eyes, get him near the stupid princess and draw as much blood as possible and then raise the others."

The figure then stood up and entered the elite soldier's body and fused with his body.

"This body is pretty decent, but you still have to find a body that really suits me," said the elite soldier who was in the rasuki staring and moving to his 2 hands.

"Call the bloodsucker and tell him to make up his next plan, if you tell me. Now I'm going to go recuperate from the resurrection" the figure then went quickly to a cave in the mountain close to the destroyed headquarters.

Helio And he went to where Jiyu and Giok Hong were staying, he could easily find it because he had previously installed tracking magic on Giok Hong's body without even knowing it.

Jiyu and Jade Hong continue their aimless journey in disguise, fearing that their existence is known to the Dark Gods and to the imperial soldiers who might be looking for them.
