Pitch-black fog, dark as ink, churned and spiraled, while wisps of frigid mist flowed and entwined through the void.
Several corners of shimmering white robes drifted in and out of the black fog.
Long black hair, like a cascading waterfall, flowed with the mist, gradually unfurling and drifting.
A hazy human silhouette emerged from the chaos, shifting from illusion to substance as its outline slowly became clear.
She wore a plain white gown that fluttered softly in the cold wind. Her long black hair spilled down her back, and the tiny black mole beneath the corner of her left eye was even more familiar to me.
"Xiao Yu!"
I cried out excitedly.
The black fog swiftly dispersed, and Xiao Yu appeared before us.
The people around us all greeted her in turn.
"Miss!"
"Miss Bai!"
"Big Sister Yu, long time no see!"
"Sister Xiao Yu!"

Even at such close range, she could only manifest a True Spirit.
It was clear that, at this very moment, her true body could not leave the Nine Corpse Tower within the bronze tower.
Xiao Yu smiled happily when she saw us.
"You've all had a hard journey. Jiang Ning, did you bring back the Spirit-Guarding Treasure?"
Xiao Yu did not waste any words, simply looking at me gently.
I immediately nodded.
"I brought it back. The Eight-Foot Jade Magatama, one of Japan's three great national treasure artifacts."
As I spoke, I quickly took out the Eight-Foot Jade Magatama.
Third Master, Uncle Yu, Aunt Tang, and Team Leader Zhao all widened their eyes at that moment.
Anyone who had dealt with Japan's Arcane Sect or Feng Shui circles had almost certainly heard of the Eight-Foot Jade Magatama.
Even
