When they heard that Xu Ning had encountered two evil ghosts comparable to those in the Spiritual Sense Realm—one slain and the other escaped—even Li Qingqiu was astonished, let alone everyone else.
Facing the crowd's stunned expressions, Xu Ning remained composed, even cold.
She continued, "Besides that, I found out that they seem to worship a powerful evil ghost. This evil ghost is the source of the Ghost Soldiers. If we can find him and destroy him, we should be able to get through this calamity."
Li Qingqiu looked at Xu Ning, satisfaction showing on his face.
