Lu Yang examined the crimes of the prisoners in the Hall of Sinners one by one. Before long, one caught his interest: "Attempted body snatching?"
It was a rather rare charge. Usually, body snatching succeeded; after all, when a high-level cultivator took over a low-level cultivator's body, the latter had no power to resist. How could it end in failure?
