Earlier, before Shi Feng, Huo Yu, and Chuan Mu entered this room, Jiang Ning had a fierce battle with the malevolent ghost filled with violent anger and almost lost her life.

In the end, Jiang Ning used a secret technique to deliver a heavy blow to the "evil ghost," revealing its true form. The appearance of the "evil ghost" was exactly the same as the woman lying on the bed.

However, that "evil ghost" shouldn't be this woman's soul because Jiang Ning sensed that the soul still resided in the body.

"Could the evil ghost be Chuan Mu's other daughter?" Jiang Ning wondered secretly in her heart.

But then, she discarded these thoughts, deciding not to overthink it.

That was Chuan Mu's business. She was merely helping with this matter in exchange for that item, equivalent to a transaction.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's attention was still focused on the figure on the bed. Suddenly, a translucent, mist-like figure appeared above her head.

A ghostly white woman's face faintly appeared within it. If it weren't so pale, it would be almost identical to the woman inside the light veil on the bed!

Then, that ghostly white woman's face started to change, twisting into a fierce, sinister appearance!

...

"Hmm?"

In the City Lord's Hall, Shi Feng, Huo Yu, and Chuan Mu were walking when suddenly, Shi Feng's brows furrowed, and his feet came to an abrupt halt. He turned his head, glancing behind toward the carved stone wall they had just passed through.

"Hmm? What's wrong, little brother?" Seeing Shi Feng suddenly stop and look back, City Lord Chuan Mu immediately sensed something wrong and hurriedly asked.

"Let's go!" At this moment, Shi Feng didn't answer Chuan Mu's question nor wasted any words. His body flashed as he swiftly headed toward the carved stone wall.

Seeing Shi Feng's action, Chuan Mu understood: something urgent must be happening inside!

He dared not delay, quickly following suit. In the blink of an eye, the figures of Shi Feng and Chuan Mu passed through the carved stone wall.

The ancient City Lord's Hall was left with Flame Saint Son Huo Yu standing there alone.

Glancing at the carved stone wall, Huo Yu smirked coldly, leisurely walked to the grand City Lord's chair, sat down slowly, and crossed his legs with an air of contentment.

The matters inside, everything inside, no longer concerned Flame Saint Son Huo Yu!

...

"Nine Nether! Soul-shocking Seal!" In the elegant and bright room, the air suddenly turned unbelievably cold, with a tremendously fierce aura sweeping through the entire room.

At that moment, a sharp shout from Divine Refiner Jiang Ning rang out!

A translucent white smoke containing a woman's face was about to crash onto Jiang Ning, "Ugh!"

Suddenly, the ghostly white woman's face showed an extremely painful expression, let out an ear-piercing shriek, and was blasted away by Jiang Ning's soul attack.

Before meeting Shi Feng, Jiang Ning was nearly killed by this evil ghost. Now, armed with this soul attack, she managed to inflict heavy damage on the "evil ghost" as soon as they met. It seems the Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal is indeed subtle!

"Since you are dead, don't linger in the human world. Begone!" Jiang Ning coldly scolded the "evil ghost" that was blasted away.

"Awoo!" The "evil ghost" let out an extremely shrill and furious scream, its sound as sharp as an angry wild cat.

At this moment, the form of the "evil ghost," which had been blown back, abruptly steadied and then darted down rapidly toward Jiang Ning. In that instant, two hideous ghost claws appeared, each ghost finger bearing sharp, fierce fingernails as sharp as ten daggers.

"Stubborn ghost!" Seeing the fierce charge of the evil ghost, Jiang Ning coldly shouted again, followed by the operation of her soul power once more, "Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal!"

Jiang Ning's soul attack once again surged toward the evil ghost!

"Ah!" Another shrill, woeful scream echoed in the air.

Just then, Shi Feng and City Lord Chuan Mu entered the elegant and bright room, and as soon as they stepped out of the City Lord's Hall into this space, they immediately felt the incredibly chilling cold!

And just at that sharp, woeful scream, Shi Feng and Chuan Mu both saw the evil ghost that was pouncing toward Jiang Ning being violently blasted away by Jiang Ning's strong soul power.

"You wretch!" Chuan Mu yelled angrily at the blown-away evil ghost!

Then Chuan Mu laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Good!"

It seems that Jiang Ning, having learned the soul attack technique of that mysterious young man, has indeed improved significantly!

And since Jiang Ning has obtained the item, she will undoubtedly deal with this wretch wholeheartedly!

This wretch! This wretch! I shall bring you back! I shall bring you back! Soon enough, you will be utterly destroyed, your soul scattered! Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph!

Chuan Mu thought intensely in his heart.

"Such intense resentment! This is an unparalleled fierce soul!" At this moment, Shi Feng, standing beside City Lord Chuan Mu, suddenly spoke.

While walking through the City Lord's Hall, Shi Feng suddenly sensed an unrivaled fierce evil aura coming from behind, prompting him to rush back quickly to have a look.

Little did he know he would indeed witness an unparalleled fierce soul!

How tragically did it die, harboring how much resentment at its death, to turn into such a heaven-piercing evil ghost?

Under Jiang Ning's soul power just now, Shi Feng could sense that this fierce ghost's resentful soul had already reached the level of Jiang Ning's soul power.

No wonder Jiang Ning, with such powerful soul power, almost met her end earlier!

"Ah!" The unparalleled fierce soul, once again blasted away by Jiang Ning into the air, let out an extremely shrill cry and suddenly steadied itself.

It seemed to sense Chuan Mu's presence, and the ghostly white face appeared again, looking extremely fierce and twisted, with the aura of evil and resentment around it growing thicker and thicker.

With a harsh voice, still extremely piercing and sharp, it seemed to pierce straight into one's heart: "Chuan Mu! Chuan Mu! You dog thief, Chuan Mu! You perverted, selfish, vile beast! I want you dead! I want you dead! Ah!"

At this moment, that evil ghost suddenly moved again, becoming extremely aggressive, its hideous ghost claws reappearing as it dove down.

This time, its trajectory was not toward Jiang Ning but toward City Lord Chuan Mu.

"Hmph! Come on!" Seeing the rapidly descending evil ghost, Chuan Mu sneered and said, "Wretch! I have tried many times to find you but to no avail! Today, you come seeking death on your own, then let me handle you personally!"

As he spoke, a tremendously powerful aura suddenly rose from City Lord Chuan Mu!
