"This stone statue was that strong?"
Lu Ren was secretly startled.
Nethernight Imperial Daughter said, "My father made this Stone Statue Puppet. It was cast from the materials used to make Supreme Soldiers, so it's incredibly sturdy. Its defense is even more formidable than a Battle Body's!"
"Even when I used Dao Rhyme, I couldn't damage the Stone Statue Puppet at all!"
Lu Ren frowned.
"Dao Rhyme is useless against it!"
Nethernight Imperial Daughter nodded.
"I'm afraid this Stone Statue Puppet is the test. Only by passing it can we meet your father's remnant soul!"
Lu Ren spoke calmly.
"A test?"
Nethernight Imperial Daughter stared at the puppet's brow. "Every Ghost Path Puppet has a soul. We control them by placing a mark on that soul!"
"So if we erase that mark, the statue will lose its ability to fight?" Lu Ren asked.
"Exactly!"
Nethernight Imperial Daughter nodded, then looked at Lu Ren. "Lu Ren, I hope you'll help me. Ghost Shakya Overlord schemed against me. Only by obtaining my father's inheritance will I have any chance of rebelling!"
"Are you asking me for a favor?"
Lu Ren teased her.
"Then consider this the one time I'm begging you!"
Nethernight Imperial Daughter met his gaze.
"Hahaha! All right, I'll take that. I'll hold down the Stone Statue Puppet for you!"
Lu Ren laughed and swept out his hand. The Life-and-Death Ghost Soul Lock surged forth, wreathed in mysterious light, and gathered into chains that whipped around the Stone Statue Puppet.
In an instant, chains bound the statue's limbs, torso, and neck. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free for the moment.
Good thing I reached the Eighth-Step Supreme Realm and my Dao Rhyme soared. Otherwise, even the Life-and-Death Ghost Soul Lock couldn't have restrained that statue!
Startled,
