Ch. 142He Was Courting Disaster, Yet His Words Stirred the Heart
Mu Rong tried to persuade the ghost to leave the Martial Soul Hall by exposing how it used him and offering him a future free from its control. He gave the ghost several rare treasures and revealed that Tang Hao’s lover, Ah Yin, was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, leaving the ghost torn over what to do.
- Mu Rong told the ghost that the Martial Soul Hall treated him as a pawn and would never grant him its deepest inheritances.
- Mu Rong offered the ghost a peaceful life and the chance to pursue the peak of soul power if he let Mu Rong go.
- Mu Rong gave the ghost an Acacia Heartbreak Red, another rare herb, and a stone as farewell gifts.
- When the ghost threatened to return with reinforcements, Mu Rong offered a secret that could repay the ghost’s debt to the Martial Soul Hall and secure his friend’s departure.
- Mu Rong revealed that Tang Hao’s lover, Ah Yin, was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast nearing human form, and the ghost asked for time to think.
