The scorching blood-like power trapped the Bai Family Master but did not completely obliterate him, instead leaving him with a sliver of life.
Jiang Fengwu placed her longsword against his neck and coldly asked, "Speak! Are you lurking in the mortal world for so unspeakable secret?"
"Heroine, spare my life! I promise to tell you everything I know!"
Feeling the nacing killing intent from the sword blade, the Bai Family Master imdiately pleaded for rcy in a low voice, his face filled with a pleading, bitter expression, "I have no secret, nor any other purpose; I’m rely hiding here to seek refuge and survive."
"Hmm? Still not being honest!" Jiang Fengwu’s phoenix eyes widened, and her sharp gaze made his body tremble uncontrollably, while the longsword in her hand drew closer to his body.
If it was truly to seek refuge and survive, then how could it cause such a commotion? Shouldn’t it be done in a more low-key manner?!
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"
Realizing his lie could not deceive her and only provoked her killing intent, the Bai Family Master dared not hide anything anymore and imdiately revealed his mission.
It turned out that he ca to this remote small town for only one purpose: to collect negative emotions such as fear, anger, and frustration from mortals!
That’s why he road at night, randomly tornting mortals, to further provoke their negative emotions, making it easier for him to collect them.
Low-level ghost clan mbers like him were actually spread across various remote small towns and villages, all engaged in the sa task.
"What is your purpose for doing this?" A glint of cold light flashed in Jiang Fengwu’s eyes, as she pursued.
The Bai Family Master shook his head, bewildered, "I don’t know. This task was assigned by those Ghost Kings who only instructed us to do it without explaining the reasons."
She inquired about so things; so were answered, while others he didn’t know.
"I’ve said everything I should; I beg the heroine to spare my life. I dare not bully mortals in the future and am willing to follow you and be at your command."
Even though he knew he was unlikely to escape death, he was unwilling to give up on the slightest chance, not caring even if he beca a servant to a mortal.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Fengwu snorted coldly, and with a surge of her Qi-Blood, she swung her sword, emitting a crimson Sword Light that instantly severed the ghost clan’s head. No blood was seen, only strands of Yin Qi drifted out but quickly vanished.
"If I let you go, how would the grievances of those mortals you killed be resolved?"
With a sigh, she turned to look for the old woman she had sent away from the battlefield and, seeing that she was only frightened and not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the savage household servants, upon realizing their master was actually a ghost clan mber, they scattered and fled in panic, hiding who-knows-where, and Jiang Fengwu couldn’t be bothered to look for them.
She helped the old woman stand up and gently said, "I’m sorry; your house is destroyed. Use this Silver Tael as compensation, and find soone to rebuild your ho tomorrow."
"No, I cannot take it! You avenged my husband and are my family’s benefactor; how can I take your silver?" The old woman refused promptly, unwilling to accept.
But Jiang Fengwu firmly placed it in her hands. The old woman, lonely and impoverished, had her only place of shelter and many items inside destroyed; if she looked on without helping, she might soon beco just a handful of yellow earth.
Moreover, Jiang Fengwu wasn’t in a rush to leave, planning to lie in wait in the city for the ghost clan mbers collecting negative emotions to co.
According to the ghost clan mber disguised as the Bai Family Master, at the end of every year, a ghost clan mber would co and take the accumulated negative emotions away.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know where the ghost clan ca from, otherwise, Jiang Fengwu wouldn’t have waited but would have actively pursued them.
As for other remote small towns still suffering from the tornt and humiliation of the ghost clan, she had a plan to solve it.
That was to contact nearby Immortal Dao powers and have them clear out those ghost clans; after all, they were just so low-level Qi Cultivation ghost clans, which any slightly powerful Immortal Dao power could easily handle!
At this ti, Jiang Fengwu had already unraveled the Triple Seal Array within herself, restoring her Perfect Earth Immortal cultivation!
No other choice, who could have thought that as soon as she intended to enter the mundane world, she would stumble upon the ghost clan’s sche?
If she didn’t lift the seal and restore her strength at this ti, was she planning to flee from this place with her hands tied, or prepare to march to her death?
"If I rember correctly, about five hundred miles to the east, there should be a cultivator sect." Jiang Fengwu recalled briefly before transforming into a streak of Spirit Light, disappearing from sight.
In just a mont, she arrived at the mountain gate called Qingyuan Sect.
Just releasing a wisp of her aura frightened all the cultivators in the mountain into terror, and so were already kneeling on the ground, shivering and begging for rcy.
Seeing their unbearable display, Jiang Fengwu couldn’t help frowning, but she quickly returned to normal.
Thinking carefully, if she were so weak and suddenly noticed by an Earth Immortal of unknown nature, she too would be filled with fear and dread.
"I’ve co here for one thing I need you to do." She completely gathered up her aura and spoke, intentionally casting the Heart Clarity Spell to prevent them from forgetting her instructions out of fear.
"What orders does the senior have? We will do our utmost!"
