Only then did Tang Changsheng realize how extraordinary an intelligent Wild Ghost like Du Song was.
An ordinary person's soul began to scatter before death. After death, it was bound to be incomplete, leaving the ghost either witless or deranged.
Not one in a hundred retained their wits. Even the Netherworld Office would gather up such a ghost and appoint him a Ghost Messenger.
In other words, ghosts like that usually fell into the hands of some Netherworld Office deity almost as soon as they died, as Fang Xin and Song Cai had. For one to become a wandering Wild Ghost and eventually land in Tang Changsheng's hands was exceedingly rare—like a meat pie falling from the sky...
With intelligent Ghost Creatures to command his Yin Soldiers, Tang Changsheng's burden grew much lighter.
He cultivated by day, but at night he still had to hold the Ghost Domain.
Then one night, a War Ghost at the peak of the Vicious Ghost level led a band of War Ghosts charging in.
This time, Tang Changsheng and his Yin Soldiers fought together. With twenty elite Yin Soldiers helping him, he easily routed the War Ghosts. He did not let the peak-level Vicious Ghost escape either, but killed it alongside the rest.
Two other Ghost Creatures failed to get away, and Tang Changsheng captured them...
Tang Changsheng then swept through the entire Ghost Domain again, hardening his heart and intending to scour it from end to end.
But however fine his plan sounded, the Ghost Domain would not have troubled generations of the General's Temple's Founding Patriarchs if it had been so easy to deal with.
That very night, Tang Changsheng led his Yin Soldiers into the heart of the Ghost Domain.
There he found a Battlefield strewn with the remains of swords
