"Isn't it?"
I replied, "Of course not."
"Don't try to fool me; I can feel it."
"What do you feel?"
"I feel myself becoming free and lighter. I’ll soon be able to command the Wandering Ghosts. Hahaha... Chen Fei, I have to thank you for this!"
Gao Ling cursed, "Fei, you've been tricked! I've noticed something was off with this guy for a long time!"
Zhang Xun added, "It seems like we're at a disadvantage, but what he said is basically true."
The corporeal Hu Qingming confidently stated, "I've been with him for so many years. How could I not know about his little schemes? Chen Fei, you all are simply dreaming if you think you can destroy the Yin-Yang Ghost Path. Do you really believe that's possible?"
I said, "How would we know without trying?"
"You probably won't have the chance to try; today is your day of death." After saying this, the corporeal Hu Qingming commanded, "Wandering Ghosts, heed my call!"
However, after those words were spoken, only a few souls disguised as officers moved. These souls were not a threat; the earlier officer had already changed his tune and said, "My lord, it's no use! Those ghosts aren't moving."
"My lord?" Gao Ling asked.
"Are you really Yin Soldiers?" Gao Ling questioned again.
The officer replied, "We are Yin Soldiers who emerged from the Yin-Yang Dao. You wanted to eliminate us? It's too late now; our lord has fully awakened."
Zhang Xun said, "Is that so? If you adults have awakened, why do those spirits not obey orders?"
At this moment, the corporeal Hu Qingming also became flustered, exclaiming, "This is impossible! It can't be happening!" Zhang Xun replied, "Nothing is impossible." The corporeal Hu Qingming turned to me and asked, "Chen Fei, what did you do? What exactly did you do?"
His emotions were becoming increasingly agitated.
I spoke up, "I didn't do anything. I merely severed the red thread and locked away a few of your souls. Haven't you noticed?"
"Scoundrel."
The corporeal Hu Qingming shouted like a madman, "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
Previously, the lieutenant rushed forward quickly, but it was futile. I took out my dagger and struck down one spirit after another. With the protection of True Dragon Qi surrounding me, these ordinary ghosts were no match. Zhang Xun and Gao Ling soon joined in, and within moments, all the Ghost Soldiers were dispatched.
The corporeal Hu Qingming finally began to panic. He asked, "What have you done? Why did you start believing me and then stop?"
I replied, "Because you weren't sincere enough."
"Why? I told you the truth. You and I aren't sincere enough; you're lying."
I said, "You did tell me the truth, but sometimes a single glance can convey more than a thousand words."
"You would rather believe a glance than trust me."
I hummed in acknowledgment, but in reality, I was right. The corporeal Hu Qingming was a fake. At that moment, my dagger was already drawn; the real Hu Qingming's wounds were healing. He looked at me and said, "Thank you."
I replied, "Honestly, from the first moment I saw you, I thought you resembled an elegant scholar. Since you've read so much literature, you should possess that kind of aura."
Hu Qingming smiled.
The corporeal Hu Qingming let out a roar, saying, "Chen Fei, I never expected to be defeated by you."
I replied, "It was just a coincidence."
After saying this, I no longer hesitated. I walked over to the corporeal Hu Qingming and said, "I am going to extract your soul."
"Go ahead, my soul is locked away anyway."
I glanced at Zhang Xun, who understood and quickly approached. Zhang Xun said, "If we pierce two blood holes in his shoulders, the soul can be extracted."
Zhang Xun added, "The shoulders can be considered the gates of life; these two places conceal the soul."
I nodded. The corporeal Hu Qingming seemed to be facing the situation calmly, but could he really be so honest and surrender? So I asked Zhang Xun, "Is there a chance something unexpected might happen?"
Zhang Xun replied, "Yes. Extracting the soul means freeing him from your control. If we can't kill him immediately, he will escape."
I asked, "Is there any way to kill him instantly?"
"There is!"
After this was said, the corporeal Hu Qingming finally became flustered. "How can you do this?"
I urged Zhang Xun to move quickly!
Zhang Xun decided that since we were going to extract the soul, we should let Hu Qingming keep his original soul intact; it would be a perfect return! I looked at Hu Qingming, who said, "Okay." Earlier, he had been calm, but now he could no longer maintain his composure. Before we could act, his soul began to leave his body on its own. In that instant, I took out the Hundred Ghosts Diagram and directly suppressed the extracted soul.
Gao Ling exclaimed happily, "We did it!"
Zhang Xun confirmed, "We succeeded."
I handed over the subdued ghost to Hu Qingming. After a glance, he directly fused with the soul, and a series of anguished cries echoed in the air. The fusion was remarkably successful.
The moment Hu Qingming opened his eyes, I felt a chilling aura wash over me, but it vanished almost instantly. This terrifying sensation was something only the Wandering Ghosts could evoke.
Hu Qingming quickly returned to his body, and after merging with it, he appeared even more fearsome.
I asked, "Is the connection with the Wandering Ghosts severed?"
Hu Qingming replied, "Severed! But it doesn't matter."
"Why not?" I inquired.
"Because you're back, and we might have to walk the Yin-Yang Ghost Path again."
Looking at Hu Qingming, I realized that this version of him was the one I was familiar with. Zhang Xun's emotions fluctuated as he said, "I didn't expect to see someone legendary."
Hu Qingming responded, "I'm not some legendary figure; I'm just an ordinary person."
Gao Ling chimed in, "An ordinary person who has survived until now? A soul leaving its body and still living? Don't kid around."
Hu Qingming: …
I suggested, "Since you've recovered, let's leave this place."
Hu Qingming said, "Wait a moment."
I asked, "What is it?"
Hu Qingming replied, "We need to take something from here."
"What is it?"
"Book of Ten Thousand Ghosts," Hu Qingming said.
I asked, "Where is the Book of Ten Thousand Ghosts?" Although I had no idea where it was, just hearing the name made it clear that this book was extraordinary! Hu Qingming sighed and replied that the Book of Ten Thousand Ghosts was hidden within the black souls behind us. However, retrieving it would not be an easy task.
"Let's get started!" I said.
Hu Qingming calmly responded, "Wait for me." After saying this, he walked toward the pile of Wandering Ghosts. In an instant, piercing screams filled the air. Standing at a distance, we listened to those agonizing cries, which sent chills down our spines.
Gao Ling gasped, "How much pain must they be in?"
Hearing those screams made me feel pain as well. I shouted, "Do you need help?"
Hu Qingming warned, "None of you come over! If these ghosts catch a whiff of blood, they'll go wild!"
After hearing this, we had no choice but to halt our steps. None of us dared to approach. We could only watch helplessly as Hu Qingming was tormented by the Wandering Ghosts. It was a horrific sight, yet we were powerless to assist him. At that moment, Gao Ling couldn't help but exclaim, "He really is a tough guy!"
Indeed, he was tough. With so many ghosts tearing at him and those heart-wrenching screams echoing around us, I could hardly bear to listen.
After what felt like a moment of waiting, Hu Qingming emerged from the mass of Wandering Ghosts. He looked disheveled and worn out but bore no visible injuries; however, his soul had clearly suffered greatly. At that moment, he staggered out holding a pile of something resembling graphite slabs.
He looked ready to collapse.
Once he stepped out from the ghostly crowd, he shouted, "Get out of here quickly!"
I noticed that the souls behind us were slowly awakening; the Black Souls were awakening one by one. We began to quicken our pace toward the exit. Just as we reached the exit point, Hu Qingming handed me the graphite slabs. I realized what they were.
These were secret scrolls—my master's secret scrolls.
Hu Qingming instructed, "Chen Fei, take the Book of Ten Thousand Ghosts and leave here first."
I said to Gao Ling, "You need to climb up quickly."
Time was running out; the Black Souls were closing in. Zhang Xun and Gao Ling were still hesitating, so I shouted, "Hurry up! Do you want to die here? Gao Ling, you go first."
Gao Ling still wanted to go up, but I told her, "Damn it, just get moving." As Gao Ling climbed up, I took off my clothes and wrapped the graphite board in them. Was this Book of Ten Thousand Ghosts really the secret scroll of my master? And was it because of this Book of Ten Thousand Ghosts that Jiang Changsheng and I had a falling out back then?
But why did Jiang Changsheng save me later? He brought me back to life, and when the Old Witch tried to harm me, Jiang Changsheng appeared again to rescue me. What did all of this mean?
Once Gao Ling was up, she shouted, "Hurry up!"
Zhang Xun quickly followed her. At that moment, the Black Souls were almost upon us. I threw the Book of Ten Thousand Ghosts upwards, and Zhang Xun caught it. He asked, "Chen Fei, what are you doing?"
I simply replied, "Just hold onto this for me."
As soon as I finished speaking, the Black Souls surged forward like a tide, and in an instant, Hu Qingming and I were engulfed by them.
Hu Qingming said, "Chen Fei, do you want to die?"
I reassured him, "Don't worry; we won't die."
