The ghostly figure seemed to sense Yun Qing's gaze. Though his intelligence had long since been obliterated and his memories reduced to ash, that overwhelming hatred and obsession clung like maggots to bone, driving him to lunge recklessly at Yun Qing!
Yun Qing's heart tightened, and a sense of absurdity rose within him.
The Ghost Ruins could indeed attract and spawn yin souls and ghost creatures, but Yun Chi had died so thoroughly-and Yun Qing had personally checked and delivered the finishing blow. How could his remnant soul and obsession linger here and turn into a vengeful spirit?
Yun Qing's expression darkened, his suspicions deepening, but his hands moved without hesitation.
Facing the vengeful soul charging at him like a madman, he did not even use the Bear All Things Spear. He raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and closed them around the oncoming mass of gray-black qi from a distance.
"Disperse."
He uttered a single word, and reality obeyed. The true essence of nirvana at the middle stage of the Immortal King Realm emerged with a light touch.
Pfft.
A soft sound, like a candle being extinguished.
Before Yun Chi's phantom could even understand what had happened, his lunge froze in midair. Then, like a punctured bubble, he released a sigh filled with relief and bewilderment and vanished completely, as though he had never existed.
Erasing him had been easy, yet the clouds of doubt over Yun Qing's heart only thickened. The boundary between the Ghost Ruins and reincarnation, the distortion of the Heavenly Dao's laws... what exactly had gone wrong?
"Brother Huang, what exactly is...?" His gaze instinctively turned toward a certain spot deep within the Cloudship, only for him to sense Yun Huang's eyes sweep over him before slowly drifting away as though nothing had happened.
