Zhang Yi, formerly Steward Hua, was terrified.
The first time he had abandoned his body and fled with his Innate Soul, he discovered just how dangerous this world was.
Over a mere thousand li, he had encountered four groups of Monster Beasts and three groups of martial artists who wanted to prey on his Innate Soul. The way they looked at his ball of Innate Soul was like dogs spotting a meaty bone—their eyes had all turned red.
Fortunately, Steward Hua's years of accumulated resources were no joke. His life-saving methods emerged one after another: either using talismans to confuse or trap his opponents, or activating life-saving Spirit Weapons to accelerate his escape.
But even so, the radiance of his soul had now grown somewhat dim.
