Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 40: Female Corpse

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Female Corpse

Dou Dou is still too young, her expression not very clear.

However, Shen Siyuan still discerned something amiss from her brief words.

So he said to Yin Xingyue, "Xiao Yue, go and check it out with Dou Dou to see what the situation exactly is."

Yin Xingyue obediently nodded, then turned her gaze towards Dou Dou.

"Oh?"

Dou Dou, clueless, still didn’t realize what was happening.

"Where did you see the big villain before? Do you remember?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Of course, I remember."

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou put her hands on her hips, puffing out her belly, seemingly quite proud.

"Remember to take your sister to see."

"Oh~"

Dou Dou looked suddenly enlightened, seeming to have just understood.

Then she transformed into a Yin Wind and circled around the room, then flew out of the window with Yin Xingyue.

Watching them leave, Shen Siyuan pulled out the "Embrace the Wind and Sleep" book and started reading the interpretations about wind and clouds in the beginning, while combining the past studies of the Jiuyou Demon Lord, something clicked in his mind.

Back in the Great Wilderness era, the Jiuyou Demon Lord had a technique called "Cloud Roll."

Despite being known as the Jiuyou Demon Lord, the names of the techniques he practiced were very dignified and imposing, with not a hint of ghostly aura; however, being Demon Dao Skills, the cultivation methods were often unconventional, advancing quickly and against the orthodox methods of cultivation.

For example, this "Cloud Roll" sounded like a carefree observation of clouds coming and going, but in reality, it was a technique to control Yin Wind with extremely fast speed, coupled with a ghastly wailing that swayed people’s hearts, making it capable of hooking one’s soul directly out of their body, which was quite terrifying.

However, Yin Wind is still wind, which gave Shen Siyuan some inspiration by analogy.

Although the spiritual energy of this world was completely lost, breaking all methods of cultivation.

He could use Netherworld Energy to replace the spiritual energy, and although the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was already damaged, it was still enough for his lone use. Later, once the Soul Banner was repaired, the inexhaustible Netherworld Energy would fully facilitate his cultivation.

Moreover, as the Banner Master of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, he was not afraid of the corrosion by the Netherworld Energy losing his sanity completely.

Of course, there would be some effects on the body, but compared to the benefits, these effects could be completely ignored.

However, Shen Siyuan was not planning to try it right now.

Instead, with a thought, he summoned the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, then pinched a finger formula, and instantly, his vision shifted from himself to Yin Xingyue, seeing what she saw, hearing what she heard.

This was the basic ability of the Banner Master of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, able to share the vision of the ghosts under his command.

Not to mention that Dou Dou next to him hadn’t noticed Shen Siyuan’s presence, even Yin Xingyue herself was unaware of Shen Siyuan’s existence.

The two rode the Yin Wind, spinning rapidly in the air at a very high speed. Given the size of Bin Hai City, they should have arrived long ago.

Shen Siyuan was puzzled, but soon he understood.

Only to see Dou Dou circling in the air, muttering, "It’s supposed to be here, isn’t it here? How could I possibly not remember..."

Good grief, this little creature was just adamantly stating she remembered the way, proving to be completely unreliable, only fit to be a mascot.

Yet Shen Siyuan did not speak out, watching how the two of them would handle it, since he intended to keep them around in the future, they should be of some use.

In that moment, Yin Xingyue took the initiative to ask, "Dou Dou, where is your home?"

This she knew, Dou Dou immediately changed direction.

"Over there." She pointed straight ahead.

"Then let’s go check there first," Yin Xingyue rode the Yin Wind towards the direction.

"Sister, wait for me!" Dou Dou hurriedly followed up.

The two riding the Yin Wind, slicing across the sky, naturally caught the stunned eyes of countless ground ghosts.

Some ghosts even tried to jump from buildings, attempting to ride the wind, but ended up thinking too much; they simply floated gently to the ground, completely unable to fly up, let alone ride the wind.

"I remember now, I remember..."

The buildings on the ground finally made Dou Dou feel familiar.

Soon, the two landed at a derelict construction site.

Through Yin Xingyue’s vision, Shen Siyuan then realized, it turned out to be Peninsula Sunshine, the largest cluster of unfinished buildings in Bin Hai City.

Construction started only three years ago but was halted due to a break in the capital chain. This stop lasted over a decade with no one taking over, eventually becoming the biggest joke in Bin Hai.

The two little ones landed on the rooftop of an unfinished arched building, which was supposed to be a shopping mall. The building itself was particularly large, and it was unclear why Dou Dou had previously come here and then encountered the big villain.

Yin Xingyue had the same question.

"Because of Jiu Jiu," Dou Dou said.

"Who is Jiu Jiu?" Yin Xingyue asked puzzled.

"Jiu Jiu is a little bird I found in the sky."

Yin Xingyue: ...

It turned out she worried that Shen Siyuan might be lonely at home alone, so she left home planning to find her Brother Potato.

But while in the air, she encountered a bird, found it cute and unconsciously followed it, which led her here.

Although it was a bit convoluted, the little one was indeed kind-hearted. Despite having her parents’ company, she still thought of Shen Siyuan.

"Where did you see the big villain?" Yin Xingyue asked.

"Follow me."

The little one waved her hand and walked forward with an air of leadership.

The two went down from the rooftop, eventually reaching the fifth floor.

"Why didn’t we just fly down?" Yin Xingyue asked.

Dou Dou paused, then showed a silly smile: "Hehe, I forgot."

Yin Xingyue was at a loss with this little sister, glancing around in the eerie silence that was frightening.

Yin Xingyue, still a child, unconsciously shrank her body.

Instead, Dou Dou, who knew no fear, strode forward confidently, and Yin Xingyue hurried to keep up.

Then they found a woman in the corner, topless and tied to a chair.

The woman’s head hung low, her body was bloodied and battered, appearing lifeless.

Previously fearless, Dou Dou immediately hid behind Yin Xingyue.

Yin Xingyue herself got scared and kept retreating but still shielded Dou Dou behind her.

"Don’t be afraid, I am here."

Just then, Shen Siyuan’s voice suddenly rang in Yin Xingyue’s mind.

Yin Xingyue was startled, then immediately felt fearless.

"Let Dou Dou stay aside, and you go check," Shen Siyuan instructed.

So, Yin Xingyue turned and instructed Dou Dou.

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou immediately scampered off with her short legs, hiding sneakily in a corner.

"Banner Master."

"Call me brother."

"Brother."

"I am here."

Hearing this, Yin Xingyue’s face showed a calm and composed smile, and she walked confidently toward the corner where the woman was.

Through Yin Xingyue’s eyes, Shen Siyuan observed that the woman was likely dead, her body covered in whip marks, bloodied and battered with a Y-shaped burn on her chest.

The woman must have been tortured to death, and the perpetrator was extremely brutal.

Initially bolstered by Shen Siyuan’s support, Yin Xingyue now felt a surge of fear, a feeling that even reached Shen Siyuan.

"It’s okay, don’t be scared, look around some more."

Shen Siyuan comforted her in her mind.

Encouraged by this, Yin Xingyue mustered her courage again and looked around.

Shen Siyuan then noticed an oil barrel next to them. Inside the barrel were burnt ashes containing a Fire Fork; the burn on the woman’s chest was likely caused by it.

Seeing no one around, not even the ghost of the woman, Shen Siyuan then had them return.
