Li Dan was so frightened that he staggered backward and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Yang Tian, you must not let her save me..." Wang Huateng hurriedly pulled He Ling's hand away and shouted at Yang Tian: "No matter what, you cannot let her remove the Ghostly Aura from me, otherwise she will die. In fact, this is not Ghostly Aura, but a seal..."

Before Wang Huateng could finish speaking, He Ling's hand had already struck the back of Wang Huateng's head.

Wang Huateng's eyes rolled back, and he fainted directly.

"He Ling, what are you doing?"

Wang Ying frowned; she felt something was amiss.

"It's alright, let me treat him properly."

He Ling said calmly, and as she shook her hand, a Blood Talisman appeared. She then placed this Blood Talisman on the top of her skull, and a Blood Aura emerged, falling onto Wang Huateng.

"He Ling, don't do anything weird!"

Yang Tian also felt that He Ling was somewhat eerie.

It seemed that Wang Huateng had something to tell Yang Tian, but before he could finish, He Ling had knocked him unconscious.

This made Yang Tian feel strange.

Yet seeing He Ling settle into treating Wang Huateng, despite self-harm, he said nothing more.

Under He Ling's treatment, the Blood Aura entered Wang Huateng's body, gradually eliminating the Ghostly Aura within.

Before long, Wang Huateng's body fully recovered.

"It's done; I've removed the Ghostly Aura from him. From now on, he will be fine..."

Having accomplished this, He Ling's face turned pale as paper.

She sat down on the ground, staring blankly at Wang Huateng, her thoughts unknown.

"It's good that it's okay!"

Yang Tian checked Wang Huateng over and knew he had recovered, so he directly took out the Red Umbrella, activated his Spiritual Breath, and the Red Umbrella burst into a powerful light.

Since He Ling was a ghost, Yang Tian infused the Sword Qi from the Holy Sword into the Red Umbrella.

This Sword Qi was even more divine than his Spiritual Breath.

Having done this, Yang Tian handed the Red Umbrella to He Ling.

"It's useless, you cannot save me..."

He Ling shook her head.

"How can you know if you don't try?"

Yang Tian opened the Red Umbrella, and instantly, a red light enveloped He Ling.

"What kind of Spiritual Breath is this? So divine!"

Almost the next second, He Ling gasped in surprise, instinctively taking the Red Umbrella, and after being dazed for a moment, excitedly said: "Yang Tian, you really are powerful. I can feel my soul strengthening!"

"This is my compensation for you."

Yang Tian said calmly.

"Oh."

He Ling nodded but then lowered her head, lost in thought.

When Yang Tian saw He Ling silent, he frowned, wanting to say something, but at that moment, He Ling's body flared up with strong flames, which boiled along her body.

"What is this?"

Yang Tian frowned.

"It's nothing..."

He Ling shook her head, hesitated to speak, then sighed deeply, saying nothing.

Yang Tian could feel He Ling's soul was slipping away; he activated his Spiritual Breath, forming hand seals to seal He Ling.

Gradually, those flames extinguished.

This made He Ling even more surprised: "Yang Tian, what is the state of your Spiritual Breath exactly? Why is it so powerful? Not only can it strengthen my soul with the Red Umbrella, but it can also suppress the flames on me! But even my master couldn't suppress these flames..."

Yang Tian checked once more, finding He Ling had recovered, so he no longer concerned himself with her and instead activated his Spiritual Breath to wake Wang Huateng.

"Yang Tian, don't let Ling heal me..."

Wang Huateng cried anxiously upon waking.

"Daddy, big brother already let He Ling treat you!"

Wang Yue said.

"It's gone, everything is gone..." Hearing Wang Yue's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in Wang Huateng's eyes; he sat paralyzed, staring blankly at He Ling, lost in thought, eventually sighing heavily as he stood and walked toward the study.

This left everyone quite puzzled.

Why was Wang Huateng back to normal but not at all happy?

Wang Huateng stayed in the study for several hours before finally emerging. As Yang Tian activated his Divine Sense to probe the study, he found there was a letter on Wang Huateng's desk.

This letter had likely just been written by Wang Huateng.

"Yueyue, accompany Daddy for a walk!"

Yang Tian was about to ask Wang Huateng about the letter's matter, but Wang Huateng already pulled Wang Yue with him, exchanged a few words with Li Dan, and walked out.

"Daddy, where are you going?"

Wang Ying frowned.

"I'm recovered, I've not taken Yueyue to an amusement park for a long time, today I'll take her to have some fun..."

With these words, Wang Huateng pulled Wang Yue and vanished at the door.

From start to finish, He Ling said nothing; she just squatted in the corner, blankly watching Wang Huateng's departing figure, but her body grew gradually weaker.

Watching Wang Huateng's departing silhouette, she sighed.

"It's over, tomorrow we'll head to the Dark Land to find Wang Lingzhan!"

Yang Tian ordered Wang Ying and Ling Ying to prepare, intending to investigate Wang Huateng's letter in the study, but at that moment, He Ling in the corner burst with a potent light.

Bang!

After a rumbling noise, He Ling's entire body shattered, scattering Seven Souls and Six Spirits on the ground.

"Ah!"

Wang Ying and Ling Ying were petrified.

"He Ling, what is happening?"

Yang Tian's face turned grim, but at that moment, he discovered, a flame surged again around He Ling, exactly the same flame as before.

In no time, Yang Tian reacted: "He Ling, that flame just now was not extinguished by me, only suppressed, now it's erupted again!"

Speaking, Yang Tian wanted to help He Ling recover.

But He Ling shook her head: "Yang Tian, don't help me anymore, I've long said there's no saving me; even if you bestow sacred Spiritual Breath upon the Red Umbrella, it's merely helping me hold on for a little while longer. This flame actually is a seal!"

"Seal?"

Yang Tian frowned.

"Exactly!" He Ling hesitated slightly but finally explained: "I'm going to die anyway, so I'm not afraid to tell you I actually deceived you. I'm not Wang Lingzhan's pupil, I'm just a soul sealed by Wang Lingzhan. At first, Wang Lingzhan sealed me intending that one day I might purify his demonic nature. In truth, I'm not his disciple, Bu Ruji and Bu Rucheng are not my senior brothers; in contrast, I'm the subordinate of Fierce Celestial King, who once hunted Wang Lingzhan, that's when he sealed me..."

He Ling paused, then continued: "At that time, Wang Lingzhan sealed me with his bloodline, waiting for the day he'd eradicate his demonic nature to come find me again. I can only suppress the seal on me by absorbing the Yang Qi from Wang Lingzhan's descendants. Wang Huateng knows this, which is why he willingly allowed me to absorb his Yang Qi. But when you forced me to lift the Ghostly Aura on Wang Huateng, I could no longer absorb Yang Qi from him, causing the seal on me to explode..."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood: "No wonder Wang Huateng tried desperately to prevent you from clearing the Ghostly Aura from him earlier; turns out it's because you have a seal on you!"
