Chapter 117: Mysterious Remnant Soul
Xu Zhengyang had barely finished speaking.
The eighteen Ghost Generals that previously commanded the malicious spirits—unexpectedly possessed partial control over the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
Right as Xu Zhengyang was speaking.
All eighteen of them suddenly appeared beside him. With a twist of their hands, they condensed weapons like sabers, spears, swords, and halberds from the yin energy within the banner.
Then they turned into streaks of afterimages.
Charging in unison at Xu Zhengyang’s Divine Will avatar projected within 6090's inner realm!
“Fools courting death.” Xu Zhengyang sneered disdainfully upon seeing this.
These eighteen Ghost Generals had been refined by Chen Yabo using the living souls of eighteen Tier 1 cultivators.
Xu Zhengyang originally held high hopes for these malicious spirits, wishing to have them carry out so unique tasks.
But now...
Just as the weapons in the hands of those Ghost Generals were about to land on Xu Zhengyang and annihilate his Divine Will avatar—
Countless chains ford of yin energy suddenly appeared out of thin air, precisely binding all eighteen Ghost Generals in place, rendering them immobile!
Seeing Xu Zhengyang wield the Ten Thousand Souls Banner with such proficiency, the Ghost Generals finally panicked and simultaneously begged for rcy:
“Milord, spare us…”
“This is the restriction left by that bastard Chen Yabo. As soon as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner changes hands, we’re compelled to avenge him by killing the new banner master.”
“Y-Yes, yes!
We really didn’t want to attack you, Milord—it was the oath’s compulsion, we had no choice...”
...
“Oh?”
Xu Zhengyang’s expression shifted slightly at their words. He waved his hand, summoning one of the bound Ghost Generals to his side and imdiately cast the Soul-Searching Technique on it.
Monts later.
The Ghost General, now soul-searched by Xu Zhengyang, stood with vacant eyes and lost all intelligence. It had beco a re husk of a soul, devoid of any chance for reincarnation!
After a brief scan through this Ghost General’s mories, Xu Zhengyang shook his head and sneered coldly. “You lot spew nothing but lies. Death is too good for you!”
As he spoke—
With a sweep of his hand, the bound Ghost Generals lined up before him. He prepared to soul-search them one by one, erasing each of their consciousnesses!
These Ghost Generals, after all, were still the souls of Tier 1 cultivators. They made excellent materials for refining Xuan Yin Soul-Piercing Needles!
“Milord, please don’t!”
“We are willing to swear upon our heart demons to follow you loyally unto death. Please have rcy, Milord!”
“We deserve to die for deceiving you, Milord! Please forgive us…”
...
Seeing Xu Zhengyang actually intended to erase their minds one after another, the Ghost Generals finally panicked completely. Even their pleas sounded far more sincere than before.
“Too late.”
Xu Zhengyang said with a cold smile, his actions without a shred of hesitation. “You’ll serve as my spellcasting materials instead!”
As he spoke.
He used yin energy to conjure gags to silence them, and proceeded to erase their consciousness one by one using the Soul-Searching Technique.
At this mont.
Xu Zhengyang shouted to the other malicious spirits in the stadium, “Where’s Kou Xudong? Co over here!”
The words had barely left his mouth.
A spirit dressed like a clever servant quickly floated over to Xu Zhengyang and called out, “Here, here!”
Xu Zhengyang glanced at Kou Xudong and said, “The Ten Thousand Souls Banner has been co-refined and is now a Tier 2 artifact.
So from today forward, this place is renad 6090!
You ca early.
Perfect timing—our 6090 community just welcod so newcors. Go explain the rules of this place to them properly.
Then follow our previous organizational structure.
Promote veteran workers with strong capabilities to group leaders. Assign the newcors to these leaders in groups.
Let the experienced train the new in a ntorship model, helping them quickly adapt to their roles and handle their duties.
Can you do it?”
Kou Xudong froze slightly upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation on his face.
Xu Zhengyang’s instructions were clear and systematic, but to him...
It all seed a bit too advanced!
However, when Kou Xudong saw the impatience on Xu Zhengyang’s face, he clenched his teeth and replied imdiately, “Yes, I can!”
Kou Xudong had already died once.
He understood—
This master before him was no ordinary person. His future prospects were limitless. If Kou Xudong didn’t seize this opportunity now, he would regret it for life!
“Mm.”
Xu Zhengyang nodded and waved his hand, granting Kou Xudong partial authority over the yin energy, then said, “Go do your job.”
“Yes, Master!”
Kou Xudong replied excitedly, having sensed the changes within himself.
Then he imdiately floated in front of all the other spirits and declared, “Everyone listen up! I’m issuing the following assignnts…”
At first.
Kou Xudong was extrely nervous, even stamring in his speech.
But as he continued—
He realized that being a leader wasn’t so hard. He gradually gained so confidence, his mind beca clearer, and his work more organized.
Though there were certainly a few hiccups along the way—
Kou Xudong’s cleverness prevailed, and in the end, he resolved the unexpected issues and successfully completed Xu Zhengyang’s task.
He had laid the foundation for 6090's structure!
...
While Kou Xudong busily bustled about—
Xu Zhengyang smoothly erased the souls of all eighteen Ghost Generals using the Soul-Searching Technique, turning them into eighteen yin husks.
Ready to be refined into Xuan Yin Soul-Piercing Needles at any ti!
At that mont.
After reviewing the mories of the eighteen Ghost Generals, Xu Zhengyang discovered sothing unusual—
Chen Yabo had repeatedly instructed every one of them never to harm a certain remnant soul within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
Though Chen Yabo had poor foresight—
He had still spent many years in the True Essence Sect and did possess so asure of discernnt.
To have made such an emphasis...
『So what secret does this remnant soul hold?』
Xu Zhengyang pondered and imdiately used his administrator privileges in 6090 to carefully inspect every malicious spirit within.
Monts later.
When Xu Zhengyang found that remnant soul—
He saw it was like a dying candle in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished at any mont.
But its soul power was surprisingly condensed—though not on par with Master Xuan Yin, it was slightly stronger than Pei Zhen’s!
“Oh?”
Xu Zhengyang’s eyes lit up, and he used 6090's administrator privileges to open up a garden.
Then he pulled both his Divine Will avatar and the remnant soul into it.
“Who are you?”
Xu Zhengyang got straight to the point as he looked at the remnant soul before him.
“……” The remnant soul remained silent.
Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang didn’t waste ti and imdiately used administrator privileges to suppress it.
Then he walked up and said, “Forget it. Rather than verify your ghostly lies, it’s more convenient to just soul-search you.”
At that mont!
The remnant soul broke through the restrictions of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and quickly spoke, “Wait!
I’m different from the other spirits. I am rely a remnant of mory and a sliver of soul power from my original self.
So even if you soul-search , you won’t gain anything useful!”
Xu Zhengyang remained unmoved and sneered, “I’ll decide after I try!
Even if what you say is true—
That I won’t get anything useful from soul-searching your remnant soul, I won’t lose anything either, will I?”
