Like Ning Fengzhi, Salas had mistaken that golden-red light for something produced by a special Soul Bone.
Unlike a Head Soul Bone, limb Soul Bones, and a torso bone, Ning Fengzhi believed the peculiar Soul Bone on Xiao Wu could only take effect under certain specific conditions.
Therefore, Salas did not take it to heart.
