Han Junxiong knew that Peng Borong was stronger than him but he didn't care. If saying the truth would mean that Peng Borong is going to attack him so be it. He wouldn't let this wench stop him from saving his brother.

Peng Borong who heard this wiped her tears and glared at Han Junxiong. She couldn't believe that he would even think that she was saying this to let him die.

"How can destroying the door that holds the test's space help in freeing him?" She said with a deep frown. She know that Han Junxiong would act stupid every now and then but this was a new record even for someone like him.

Han Junxiong who heard this couldn't utter another word as he didn't think about this. If this was a gateway to the test space, wouldn't he close the door forever by doing this?

He was now ashamed of what he said before but Peng Borong didn't give him a chance to apologize as she continued.

"Doing so could even result in the destruction of the test space itself, is that what you want you dimwit moron?" Peng Borong said as she didn't forget how Han Junxiong insulted her moments ago.

Han Junxiong who was now looking down didn't know what to say so he just stood there in silence. The disciples who were trying to stop him also moved away as they could see that Han Junxiong wouldn't try this again.

"Then… Then what should we do?" Han Junxiong asked as he didn't know what would be the right thing to do.

Peng Borong got closer to the door and touched it. Wiping the single tear that gathered in her eye she turned and looked at Han Junxiong .

"Junhui has a lot of tricks up his sleeves, we don't have to worry. If there is a way to come out of there alive, he will find it." Peng Borong said with a small smile as she looked at Han Junxiong. She didn't want to think about what would happen if there is no way to come out of there alive.

Han Junxiong also nodded as he now knew that destroying the door is plain stupid.

"The time in there could pass slower so maybe it is only a few seconds that he entered the test…" Peng Borong said as she was thinking about the reasons behind this.

Han Junxiong's eyes lit up as he thought about it.

"Yes! That could be it!" he said.

After a few more minutes they both stopped talking about this and left this room toward the next test. They both knew that there was no way that Han Junhui could die there.

This was their method to cope with it as they couldn't move forward if they lost hope. To their dismay, when they got out of the trial they got to know that Han Junhui's life candle went out and there was no doubt that he is dead.

This affected both of them but they still had the smallest hope that he might be alive and the eternal wail trial is somehow affecting the life candle's flame.

Alas, years passed but no one was able to find Han Junhui's body and he too didn't come out of the trial. This continued until today when Li Huang sent a sound transmission to Han Junxiong.

…

Han Junxiong shook his head as now he understood that Peng Borong was right about his brother having an ace up his sleeves. He wouldn't ever think that his ace was such a stupid thing but he was glad for it nonetheless.

Li Huang who didn't know the back-story was shell-shocked by what he saw in Han Junxiong's hand and couldn't stop himself anymore and shouted at him.

"Enough! Why would you have to go that far?" Li Huang said. What Han Junxiong found in his twin's storage ring was something called [Soul Needle].

A [Soul Needle] is a treasure that is used to inject a soul into a body, but the body has to be compatible with the original host of the body. So in the past many would use their own children for inbreeding to maximize the comparability of the newborn's body to move their souls there.

With this, they could cheat the heavens and select their natural talent from the children that they had with their own descendants.

This method was frowned upon and no one would dare do it openly as if found, they would be dealt with as soon as possible. Not only the act was heinous, as this was going against the heavens, no one would accept this and the perpetrator would be struck down with prodigious.

Now such a thing was in Han Junxiong and Li Huang couldn't let this continue. The fact that Han Junxiong was showing him this openly could also mean that he had no plan to let Li Huang leave after this so Li Huang tried to gain some information from him this way, so that he can run away depending on the situation.

Han Junxiong was taken aback at first but when he looked at the soul needle in his hand he understood what Li Huang was saying.

"HAHAHA, did you think I was going to use it that way? HAHAHA." He couldn't stop himself from laughing for a few seconds after he understood what Li Huang had in his mind. Of course, he wasn't going to claim his brother's body or something like that.

Li Huang was now almost sure that Han Junxiong is crazy. He waited for him to explain himself.

Han Junxiong went close to his brother's body and lifted his left hand.

"You didn't see this in my brother's hand?" Han Junxiong asked Li Huang now that he has calmed down.

"I did not." Li Huang said and looked at the item intently but didn't use the [Peeping eye of heaven] as Han Junxiong was looking straight at his face.

"This is what they call [Soul Cage]…" Han Junxiong started explaining. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

This [Soul Cage] was also an item that had some sinister uses. You could cage a soul in it as the name suggests and with this, you could torture someone forever as there was not a chance for a soul to die in there.

The basic version of the cage would only put you in an empty place and you would have to face the void but there were also versions of this device that would torture the soul in a more literal way.

From what Han Junxiong said his brother thought that the combination of these two items, soul cage, and soul needle, could be used as a life-saving treasure if used on one person.

"I admit, at the time I thought he was just saying nonsense and I didn't think that he had such items on him." Han Junxiong said as he shook his head.

Li Huang was now experiencing new levels of shock as he couldn't believe that someone would dare to risk such a thing as Han Junhui has done.

Li Huang thought that Han Junhui was probably in the test for a way longer time than him and he had to resort to such a method when he would have died if he was in his physical form. He probably hoped that someone would stumble upon his body in the future as the family and sect wouldn't let this matter be and he would be saved eventually.

A crazy act, but an ingeniously crazy act that deserved respect.

However, he probably didn't take into account that the time in the test space was moving faster so he had to be in his soul form for many many years.

'Although a soul would experience the time differently, he has been in the soul cage for long enough…' Li Huang thought to himself.

"Alright! Let's bring him back then!" Li Huang said as he was excited to talk to this mad genius.

"HAHAHA, yes. Let us do so!" Han Junxiong said as this was the happiest day of his life as he could see his brother again and he could stop blaming himself for choosing that damn door.

It didn't take long that he had the cage and needle ready with some herbs that were needed for this thing to work.

When everything was ready, Han Junxiong looked at Li Huang.

"Come on, activate the needle." Han Junxiong said with an amiable smile.

Li Huang was taken aback. He thought that Han Junxiong would definitely do it himself as he could brag to his brother about it or something but he didn't, that seemed weird to him.

"Are you sure you want to let me do this?" Li Huang said. He knew that this wasn't harmful to him so he wasn't worried about that but he still asked him again.

"Of course! You found him so it should be you." Han Junxiong said with a smile. In truth, he didn't want to be the one who did it so that Peng Borong can't beat him for not telling her about it first.
