The Soul Controlling Lineage, the Golden Light Divine Sword Talisman, and the Might of the White-robed Female Ghost

Outside Shentu Palace.

In the distance, atop a mountain, a Black-Robed Youth worked his fingers as though he were a puppeteer manipulating puppets.

Suddenly, the Black-Robed Youth stopped, his expression shifting slightly.

Seeing this, the Black-Robed Youth hurriedly channeled the Demonic Qi within him and unleashed a palm strike. His palm strike collided thunderously with the Sword Qi, shaking the surrounding void and shattering and blasting apart entire mountain ranges!

After the dust cleared.

The Black-Robed Youth's sleeve had been completely shredded. Bloody gashes covered his entire arm, leaving it a horrifying sight.

Then a smile appeared on his face. "But your game with me, the Soul Controller, has only just begun."

He turned and left.

Meanwhile, inside Shentu Palace.

Chu Kuangren gazed thoughtfully into the distance. "Oh, that strike didn't kill you? Interesting. Then I'll play along."

By now, he had more or less figured out the true identity of the person behind this. The technique of controlling souls with invisible threads was recorded in the Book Sea. It was a specialty of the Demonic Dao's Soul Controlling Lineage.

Was a successor of the Netherworld Lineage really so easy to kill?

No.
