In a dark room a hundred miles away.
An old man with white hair was casting a spell. Just as the souls were about to fuse, an overwhelming Yin energy swept past him.
Before the old man could react, the altar collapsed and exploded. The powerful impact sent the old man flying a few meters away and smashed him against the wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he muttered to himself, “This is impossible, absolutely impossible…”
The old man seemed to be in too much shock. His eyes rolled and he fainted.
At the same time, the dark chain bound a soul that had almost solidified.
An extremely evil spirit surrounded the soul. Although his face could not be seen clearly, it was not difficult to guess that there was a ferocious expression on his face.
He stared at Qin Xi as if he wanted to eat her alive. He even let out a blood-curdling scream that sounded jarring to the ears.
He struggled with all his might, trying to break free from the Chain of Darkness, but the more he struggled, the tighter the chain around him, as if it wanted to smash him.
Qin Xi ignored the ferocious soul and walked to Han Shi. She helped him sit on the slope and wiped the sand off his face. She grabbed his hand and slowly injected some True Qi into his body.
When a healthy glow gradually returned to Han Shi’s face, she sat beside him and closed her eyes to rest.
Although Liu Dequan and the driver could not see the trapped soul, they felt the situation was extremely dangerous.
After witnessing the dark chain coming back to life, they found it unbelievable and even felt unfamiliar with this place they called home.
After being freed from the shackle of the soul and nourished by the True Qi, Han Shi gradually regained his consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a scene quickly flashed across his eyes. He couldn’t quite catch the scene, but he felt a strange familiarity with it.
Hearing the ear-piercing scream, Han Shi threw a glance at the soul. The soul was stunned by a king’s aura spreading out from Han Shi. The soul wanted to scream, but he felt like his throat was strangled, making him unable to utter a sound.
The terrifying look in Han Shi’s eyes quickly disappeared, and he returned to his usual ignorant and obedient self, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.
Qin Xi opened her eyes slightly and looked at the bound soul in confusion. “Why aren’t you screaming?”
The soul restrained his murderous aura and revealed his true appearance. He was dressed in ancient clothes, wearing a jade crown and an embroidered robe. There was a jade belt around his waist and he was wearing cloud boots. He looked very noble and dignified.
“How dare you attack me?”
He roared at Qin Xi in a deep and hoarse voice.
Qin Xi sneered. “You just stayed in the human world longer than other souls. Why wouldn’t I dare? Besides, you’re going to hurt my husband. Why should I be merciful to you?”
The soul said angrily, “Do you know who I am?”
Qin Xi retorted without reserve, “I don’t care who you are and it doesn’t make a difference who you are. If I don’t like you, I’ll hit you.”
“You…”
The soul was furious. The viciousness in his body rose again, and his eyes were filled with madness. “It wasn’t easy for me to find a good body that I could incarnate into, but you pulled me out with force. Do you know how much magic power I lost?”
“You deserve it. If you continue to cause trouble, I promise I’ll make sure you can’t even be a soul.”
Qin Xi was obviously threatening. In order to let this arrogant soul know how powerful she was, she made a hand seal and a layer of dark fire suddenly lit up on the dark chain.
“Ahhhhhhhh…”
