I almost... fell for their trick?

If you are really lured into these crooked and evil ways and fall for their tricks, the consequences will be absolutely unbearable!

If you become the kind of person who single-mindedly pursues power and ends up losing your self-awareness and rationality, what difference is there between you and being dead!
Zhuge Guangming clutched his chest, cold sweat pouring down his back, soaking his clothes. He said with lingering fear, "I was momentarily misled, I'm so sorry. My attitude was a bit rude, please forgive me. Really, thank you again. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be standing here talking to you like this."

It seems this person isn't so ungrateful. Li Zixuan said calmly, "Not bad. Don't be so easily fooled next time. Go back and tell your relevant departments that similar incidents might happen frequently in this area recently, and tell them to be careful not to be lured in."

Zhuge Guangming solemnly promised to tell his colleagues about this.

After Li Zixuan returned, he told Zhang Hao about it.

Zhang Hao also felt the matter was very serious after hearing this. Zhuge Guangming was considered a powerful figure in the Celestial Master circle, yet even such a capable person was almost lured into a trap.

Zhang Hao explained the situation to the underworld.

Upon receiving the news, Yama, the King of Hell, immediately dispatched his subordinates, Black and White Impermanence, to lead dozens of ghost messengers to patrol the South China Sea. In short, such an incident must never happen again.

The peculiar evil power within Zhang Hao could not be completely eradicated. For now, he could only go out as a ghost, assisting the ghost messengers on patrol.

However, perhaps the patrols have been effective, the area has been very peaceful for the past ten days or so, and there seems to be no major problem.

That night, Zhang Hao drifted outside as a ghost. The night was quiet and dark, with only the sound of the wind whistling past his ears.

As Zhang Hao was floating, a man on a motorcycle suddenly sped towards him from the front!
Zhang Hao was originally floating in the air, and normal people or objects could not touch him.

But the young man speeding by seemed to possess a peculiar aura. As he charged forward, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit off his lip ring!

The red lip ring was bitten open in an instant, instantly forming a small red vortex!

The red vortex, with its terrifying suction force, exerted a strong pull on Zhang Hao, who was floating in the air!

Caught completely off guard, Zhang Hao was suddenly swept into the red vortex!

When he calmed down, he realized he was falling continuously. Around him were vortexes formed from terrifying, blood-red yin energy, and he was at the center of one of these vortexes, still plummeting downwards!

All I could hear was the howling wind, and all I could see were constantly spinning vortexes.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and carefully sensed the surrounding aura.

The surrounding atmosphere became extremely eerie. The yin energy here was incredibly dense, exuding a bone-chilling cold.

Logically, the soul shouldn't be so sensitive to heat or cold. But here, that icy feeling gradually spread throughout his body, as if if this continued, he would eventually be frozen to death by this strange thing. Zhang Hao heard a smug laugh coming from outside.

"Hahaha... What a bountiful harvest tonight! I never expected to snag such a powerful soul on my very first night in this new line of work!"

The smug laughter was filled with indescribable excitement, as if he were about to receive some enormous benefit.

"As long as I can digest this soul, my strength will definitely increase a bit more. After I level up, I can truly become someone who can borrow divine power, just like what was said in the signed agreement! At that time..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao's expression turned serious.

It seems I've become someone's prey.

If you want to break through this vortex and escape, it's not impossible.

Zhang Hao's soul was extremely powerful; for him, breaking free from the shackles of this yin energy field was merely a matter of expending a little more effort.

However, Zhang Hao is more concerned with finding out the truth about the matter at hand.

He pretended to be indignant and shouted angrily from inside, "Let me out! Let me out! I have no grudge against you, why did you scheme against me like this? You killed an innocent soul, don't you feel any remorse?"

The man outside was still speeding along on his motorcycle. He chuckled, his tone light and cheerful: "Since you're a ghost now, you should disappear from this world completely, because ghosts shouldn't exist in the human world! You're lucky to contribute to my power! Stop struggling and just stay inside. When you merge with the aura of the underworld, in a way, you'll be immortal."

It will forever be the power I possess, a part of my source of power. Even if it is used up, it will slowly condense and recover. Isn't this another form of immortality?
The young man speeding on his motorcycle thought he was such a good guy!
After hearing the other party's twisted logic, Zhang Hao almost laughed out of anger. He clenched his fists, telling himself over and over that he couldn't teach this guy a lesson yet; he had to find out what was going on first.

So Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and cursed at the other party: "You want to kill my soul and I should thank you? What kind of logic is that? Let me out! There are rules in the underworld that you can't harm innocent souls! I didn't do anything bad in my life! You can't harm me like this! Otherwise, when the underworld finds out, you will definitely not be spared!"

The young man was having a blast speeding; he was like a mouse darting through the night.

He laughed even more smugly after hearing the other party's threat.

"What Yama? He's just a minor god. Once I absorb enough souls and level up, I'll have the power of a god. At that time, even Yama will have to kneel down and lick my toes! It's your good fortune that you can become a part of me now! Stop struggling and obediently accept assimilation!"

The so-called assimilation is to use the intense yin energy permeating that red underworld aura to slowly melt the souls caught in it, turning them into the yin energy itself.

The more powerful the soul, the denser the yin energy it can transform into.

Ever since signing the agreement with the god, the young man Li Jingyun felt that he was really lucky. Otherwise, how could he have captured a legendary S-level powerful soul so easily?

Indeed, I am the chosen one! Every move I make can enhance my strength, making me the destined powerhouse!
With a beaming smile, Li Jingyun didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing. (End of Chapter)
