C420 – The Source of the Problem

The first thing he set out to confirm has now been verified!

Moreover, the power that Bai Yu demonstrated with that recent strike was quite formidable!

At that moment, Sun Yunfaang watched in amazement as White Feather emerged from the scroll, radiating a sacred aura.

“You…”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Her gaze fixed on White Feather, she noticed he had an eerie, ghost-like appearance.

Then, Bai Yu approached Sun Yunfaang with a slight smile.

As she looked on in horror, he extended his hand, and a white filament instantly wound around her, binding her tightly.

“Release me, release me!”

Sun Yunfaang cried out, struggling fiercely.

But the more she struggled, the tighter the filament constricted.

Ignoring Sun Yunfaang’s efforts to free herself, White Feather picked her up and brought her before Jiang Hao.

He then dropped her at his feet and bowed respectfully.

“Master, how shall we deal with this malevolent spirit?”

The word “master” from Bai Yu sent a shock through Sun Yunfaang, leaving her feeling utterly defeated.

Jiang Hao observed Sun Yunfaang, now immobilized and bound, and was pleased with Bai Yu’s capabilities.

He crouched down, locking eyes with Sun Yunfaang, and offered a faint smile.

“Now, will you tell me why you’ve been following my grandfather?”

At his words, Sun Yunfaang immediately pleaded for mercy.

“Master, I beg you to spare my life. I was telling the truth before. Please, have mercy!”

But despite White Feather’s ghostly semblance, she was indeed a ghost.

Sun Yunfaang’s words couldn’t deceive her.

“Humph!”

With a cold snort, Bai Yu turned to Jiang Hao with reverence.

“Master, she’s not telling the truth!”

“She must be after the old man’s vast life force!”

With a single sentence, White Feather laid bare Sun Yunfaang’s true intentions.

Sun Yunfaang’s expression stiffened, a reaction not missed by Jiang Hao.

He looked up at White Feather, who, sensing his attention, quickly offered an explanation.

“Master, a martial cultivator’s life force is immense, brimming with yang energy. While it’s true that such energy can repel ghosts, making them fearful to come near…”

“…that same life force is incredibly enticing to them.”

“Take her, for example. Devouring a martial cultivator would bring her immense benefits, causing her strength to surge dramatically!”

Upon hearing Bai Yu’s explanation, Jiang Hao was struck by a realization.

“Everything in nature has its own cycle of creation and destruction!”

Yet, with the ghosts slowly stirring back to life, it seemed the martial cultivators were on the brink of a dire crisis.

Despite this, he felt utterly helpless.

He was formidable, yes, but not to the extent of altering the fundamental laws of the world by sheer will.

Shaking off these wild thoughts, Jiang Hao cast a brief glance at Sun Yunfaang, then turned his attention back to Bai Yu.

“Bai Yu, what’s your take on dealing with this ghost?”

Bai Yu eyed Sun Yunfaang with clear revulsion.

“Master, this ghost is steeped in malice and the aura of death, burdened by the lives it has taken. It cannot be allowed to persist!”

At Bai Yu’s declaration, Sun Yunfaang was petrified, pleading desperately.

“Please, have mercy on me, I don’t want to die!”

Jiang Hao remained unmoved by Sun Yunfaang’s pleas. The dark energy emanating from her only intensified his repulsion.

Piecing together that Sun Yunfaang was responsible for multiple deaths, Jiang Hao surmised she was likely the girl who, after suffering indignities, had ended her life in the well.

And those who followed her into the well’s depths were probably enticed by her.

She hadn’t come into existence following the resurgence of the world’s spiritual energy; she must have been born many years prior.

But the question remained: how had she managed to survive all those years without the presence of spiritual energy?
