"Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

The old man forced down the metallic taste rising in his throat, managing a strained smile on his wrinkled face.

"Hand over the soul bag and the soul crystal tower."

Gu Wudao looked down at him, his tone calm, yet carrying an undeniable domineering air.

The Soul Bag is a "storage bag" for collecting Soul Crystals, while the Soul Crystal Tower is used to secure the Soul Crystals that shatter within a wandering soul at the moment of its death.

Upon hearing this, the old man's smile became even more humble.

[“My lord, those two items are extremely valuable in Chaotic City. With my meager resources, I simply…”]

"Hand it over or die!"

[As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wudao didn't waste any words; a massive hand of spiritual energy, as powerful as the collapse of the heavens, crashed down.]

"I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

The old man's expression changed drastically. His spiritual energy surged wildly, barely managing to erect a protective shield, which fluctuated constantly under the shadow of the large hand, as if it would shatter at any moment.

He dared not hesitate any longer, quickly taking out a black cloth bag and a semi-transparent, pitch-black pagoda, and respectfully holding them above his head.

Gu Wudao didn't even lift an eyelid; with a flick of his sleeve, the two items landed in front of you.

"My husband?"

[Your eyes showed emotion, but your hands moved swiftly, and you glanced at the other person with concern.]

"Don't you want it?"

[Gu Wudao, too lazy to watch your clumsy performance, brought down his giant spiritual palm that had been hovering in mid-air.]

"No!!! You won't talk..."

[Boom!]

With a muffled thud, the entire ruin was instantly leveled, leaving only a pool of bright red blood on the ground.

Gu Wudao flashed to the ground, and with a wave of his hand, a jet-black ring slowly emerged from the dust.

He casually wiped away the remaining spiritual imprint on the ring, then flicked his finger, and a stream of light flew out of the ring, hovering above his palm.

It was a scaled-down version of the armor.

[It is semi-transparent, with a faint, cold blue light flowing around it.]

You fell from the sky, took a closer look, and then the armor suddenly pierced your forehead with astonishing speed.

【"Huh?"】

You were startled, immediately withdrew your divine sense, and found that the armor was quietly floating above your sea of ​​consciousness.

Seeing that there was no immediate danger, you looked at Gu Wudao and gave him a reproachful glare.

"Husband, could you please tell me in advance next time you're going to do something? It's kind of scary!"

As if he had thought of something, Gu Wudao's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and he nodded seriously for the first time ever.

"Okay, I'll definitely let you know in advance next time."

Your pretty face flushed red under his strange gaze. You stomped your foot, turned away angrily, and muttered to yourself:

"You scoundrel! You pervert! You shameless bastard!"

【"Ha ha."】

[Gu Wudao's delighted laughter suddenly rang in your ears, startling you so much that you took two steps back, only to be pulled into his embrace.]

"Let me go..."

You lowered your head, the tips of your ears slightly red, and your voice was soft.

Gu Wudao gave you a deep look, then turned his gaze to the sky. The next moment, the two of you transformed into streaks of light and sped rapidly towards the horizon.

"Huh? Aren't we supposed to be hunting souls?"

"There's still time."

【"???"】

You struggled frantically.

"Don't move. I'll take you to a good place and explain how to use those three things."

You are a good and obedient child.

【...】

As night quietly fell, a streak of light rushed toward Chaos City. Upon closer inspection, the figure within the light seemed to be slightly out of breath.

【Buzz~】

The moment you landed inside the city, the gray mist abruptly transformed into a deep, eerie green.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city was swallowed up by the deep green mist.

You only felt a blur before your eyes.

Immediately, a strong sense of weightlessness assailed the depths of one's soul.

【"Um!"】

You let out a muffled groan, and your vision blurred.

When you opened your eyes again, the city had completely vanished, replaced by a wasteland shrouded in green mist.

"Is this the surface of the land of spirits?"

[The wandering spirits won't appear directly within the City of Chaos; after all, it's a city inhabited by humans, and the yang energy is too strong for them to bear.]

[You did not enter this place with your physical bodies, but rather through that mystical green mist to complete a special "out-of-body experience."]

Of course, once cultivators arrive here, they can still sense the condition of their physical bodies within the city and can choose to return at any time.

And it is precisely because of you special "wandering spirits" that the real wandering spirits appear.

Therefore, it remains to be seen who the prey is and who the hunter is.

Just as you looked up into the distance, an attack accompanied by gusts of cold wind suddenly struck from behind.

Your expression remained unchanged, but your right hand subtly reached back, your fingers like pincers, precisely gripping a cold hand.

【Gah~】

You then turned around and saw a short, dark figure struggling violently, emitting strange cries.

[Wandering spirits don't have specific rankings; their general strength can be discerned simply by their appearance.]

The strongest wandering spirit to appear in this eerie place is a red-clad female ghost, whose appearance is said to be so lifelike that it is almost indistinguishable from a living person.

[His strength is enough to fight a true Nascent Soul cultivator.]

[However, if a cultivator enters this place solely with their divine soul, their strength will decrease by one major realm.]

Currently, you can only exert the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

But... well, who told you to have such a good husband?

[At this moment, three soul attacks have been personally sealed deep within your soul by Gu Wudao.]

Each strike is enough to annihilate any wandering soul below the Nascent Soul stage.

【Gah!!!】

[Seeing the wandering spirit trying to pounce on you, you flicked your finger, and a beam of dark light instantly pierced its skull.]

The wandering spirit froze abruptly, its cries ceasing abruptly.

Then his body began to disintegrate from the edges, turning into wisps of eerie green smoke.

【You take out the translucent, jet-black tower, hold it in your palm, aim it at the wandering spirit, and lightly tap the tower with your fingertip.】

【"Buzz~!"】

The small tower shot out a dark beam of light, precisely locking onto the soul crystal that was about to dissipate along with the remains of the body.

The rice-grain-sized crystal nucleus, gleaming with a cold white light, was firmly held in mid-air by the beam of light.

[Then you raised your hand and gently waved it. The Soul Crystal struggled in mid-air for a moment before transforming into a stream of light and entering the Soul Pouch at your waist.]


[“Boom!”]

You look up and see a vast expanse of dark green mist surging towards you.

[And ahead in the mist, a familiar figure was sprinting for its life...]
