In the night sky, Shi Feng said to Huo Yu, "Chuan Mu has escaped, let's go!"

"Okay!" Huo Yu nodded in response, and then their figures swooped down toward the massive stone building where the Space Transmission Array of Wuchuan Wasteland City was located.

But just as they began their dive, Shi Feng suddenly paused and shouted to Huo Yu, "You go to the Space Transmission Altar and wait for me! I'll be right back!" After saying this, Shi Feng's figure flickered and quickly darted off in a different direction.

The direction he was flashing towards was the City Lord Mansion.

...

In a refined and tranquil room, a delicate shout resounded, "Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal, shock!"

Along with it, there was a shrill and sinister scream.

The Divine Refiner Jiang Ning, who had been proudly standing atop the City Lord's Hall, sensed the commotion coming from this room and swiftly returned.

Then, she saw the female ghost attempting to steal that body, and with a soul attack, the Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal charged towards the female ghost.

Jiang Ning didn't want to concern herself with other grievances. Since she had accepted the item from the City Lord Chuan Mu, she had to keep her promise to protect "Chuan Wen," her "daughter," and eliminate this evil ghost.

"Ah!" Another extremely shrill howl emanated from the female ghost's mouth. Her resentment and hostility were overwhelming, and Jiang Ning's soul attack inflicted extreme pain, driving her into a frenzy.

Then, Jiang Ning coldly said, "As long as you swear an oath never to enter Wuchuan Wasteland City again and never approach this body, I can spare your life! Otherwise, I will make sure your soul is scattered!"

Under Jiang Ning's soul attack, the female ghost had already been seriously injured. Jiang Ning was confident that with her powerful soul attack, she could scatter the ghost's soul and obliterate her.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the female ghost shrieked again, "You want me to stay away from my body? To let my body suffer under Chuan Mu's perverse abuse forever? Ah! Try it! Try letting your body suffer Chuan Mu's perverse abuse every moment!"

At the last sentence, the female ghost bared her sharp ghost claws again, diving down towards Jiang Ning.

"Impudent!" Upon hearing the female ghost's words, Jiang Ning shouted coldly once more, her already frosty face growing exceptionally cold. "Since you are so persistently foolish, you shall be completely reduced to ashes!"

"Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal!" Then, Jiang Ning shouted alluringly again, releasing another soul attack.

"Ah!" The descending female ghost was sent flying away by Jiang Ning's powerful soul attack before she could reach the ground.

This soul attack made the female ghost's figure noticeably fainter, as if a strong wind could scatter her form, making her extremely weak.

The ghost, who had been blown away, steadied her form, her pale face looking exceptionally grim. Her hair was disheveled, she seemed very wretched, and the sound of her labored breathing indicated she was struggling.

"Hehe! Hehehe!" At this moment, the female ghost ceased her anger and laughed skyward. It was as if she were speaking to someone, or perhaps speaking to herself, she laughed mournfully, "Hehehe, maybe for me, having my soul scattered and obliterated is the true liberation!

I hate! I hate so much! I only hate that my strength is insufficient, that I can't avenge my brother, or myself, by killing the perverted Chuan Mu! With this ghost body of mine, even if I dedicate every effort of this lifetime, I probably won't be able to kill that beast Chuan Mu, so let me achieve true liberation!"

Speaking with a chilling ghostly sound, at this moment, a resolute expression appeared on the female ghost's face. She looked down at Jiang Ning, and then, with her ghost body, charged downward once again, saying coldly to Jiang Ning:

"Strong-souled woman, since you so wish for me to be obliterated, then let me be obliterated!"

"I'll oblige you!" Upon seeing the female ghost charging down once more and hearing her words, Jiang Ning responded vocally.

Given the ghost's condition, one more strike from her powerful soul attack should make the ghost disappear completely, fulfilling her mission.

At this moment, Jiang Ning let out another alluring shout, "Nine Nether! Soul-shocking Seal!"

"Nine Nether! Soul-shocking Seal!"

Just as Jiang Ning's soul attack was being released, suddenly a young man's voice rang out, and that voice was Shi Feng's.

As soon as Shi Feng had entered this room just now, he saw Jiang Ning and the extremely weak fierce ghost.

With Shi Feng's understanding of ghosts, he naturally saw at a glance. If the female ghost took another soul attack from Jiang Ning, she might be obliterated. So he immediately directed his Soul Power to counter Jiang Ning's Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal with his own.

"Uh!"

"Ah!"

Suddenly, two cries of pain resounded.

The painful cries, one male and one female, were from the female ghost's shrill scream and Shi Feng's cry of anguish.

In the clash with Jiang Ning's powerful soul power, Shi Feng felt a massive shock in his mind, a searing pain in his head, as if struck by a colossal hammer.

"Ugh!" Shi Feng's face turned pale, and a gush of bright red blood spurted violently from his mouth.

It appeared the sudden collision with Jiang Ning's soul power injured Shi Feng significantly. After all, Jiang Ning's soul power had reached the Four-star Half God Realm, incomparable to his One-star Demigod soul power!

And the female ghost suffered even more miserably, screaming shrilly as she was blown away, her already thin ghost figure becoming even thinner, almost transparent.

Fortunately, with Shi Feng bearing most of the soul attack for her, she wasn't completely obliterated under Jiang Ning's soul attack.

"You?" At this moment, Jiang Ning turned around, looking at Shi Feng who had entered the room, eyebrows lightly knitted, showing puzzlement on her face.

She was puzzled why this young man had taken the attack meant for the female ghost.

"Show mercy!" Shi Feng formed a handprint with both hands to recover his injured soul, and spoke to Jiang Ning.

"Oh?" Jiang Ning let out a light "Oh" and then asked Shi Feng, "Why did you help her?"

Under the Nine Nether Secret Method, Shi Feng's injured soul quickly stabilized. Hearing Jiang Ning's question, he replied, "She's a pitiful woman, there's no need to pursue her to the end. Let her go."

Shi Feng said this, pointing to the Golden Silk Nanmu Bed and the graceful figure behind the thin veil, "This body is originally hers. Whether human or ghost, no one can stand idly by while their own body's dignity is violated and abused!"
