Chapter 1404

Gui Yan pulls out a life storage stone containing the souls of hundreds of spirit race women. He threatens to crush the stone if Long Chen kills him. The Spirit Guard tells LC to kill Gui, but LC says he will let him go in exchange for the stone.
Gui Yan gives Long Chen the stone and flees. Long Chen frees the spirit race women in the stone. Guo Ran destroys Gui Yan's other teleportation talisman by 'accident'.
After Gui Yan leaves, it is revealed that Long Chen and Meng Qi can track Gui's position using his essence blood (see Blood-Tracing Soul Jade).
But the true battle had yet to start.
DBL and the spirit race then arrive at the Forest of Life.
