After City Lord Yao had breakfast, he went to the hall with Yao Xinyuan.

Li Nian observed Yao Xinyuan. His face seemed very pale and his body was even thinner.

The city lord asked, "When can this vengeful spirit be caught? I will not be at peace until this vengeful spirit is eliminated."

This father and son both look sicker than each other. City Lord Yao is simply suffering from excessive depression, but as for Young Master Yao, no one knows the reason!

"Father, if we can't catch the vengeful spirit, we might as well just forget about it. It's seriously injured and probably won't dare to come again."

City Lord Yao slapped his son's hand away and said with a stern face:

"This vengeful spirit killed so many people in the city, it must pay the price." As he said this, he coughed heavily.

There was a hint of pain in Yao Xinyuan's eyes. Seeing his father so thin and seriously ill, his heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife. But...

The vengeful spirit hadn't appeared in the past few days, so they weren't worried. After all, it would definitely return. Eating human souls was its only way to quickly heal.

That night, just as Li Nian was about to go to bed, he heard a knock on the door.

Bai Ji gestured for her to follow him, and only then did Li Nian and Jiang Yuxia realize that they had all arrived at Yao Xinyuan's courtyard.

It was foggy there, and the power of the vengeful spirits was very strong.

A hoarse voice sounded, "Quickly find some people for me, I need to heal my wounds"

"Those people are watching us so closely now, you can't do anything about it, let alone me."

"Those people were recruited by your father, right? I can't do anything to those Nascent Soul cultivators, but can I do nothing to your father? I'm going to kill him right now!"

"No...you dare?"

Then there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and the noise inside became heavier.

Bai Ji flew lightly to the ground, summoned his long sword, and with a flash of sword light, he struck the vengeful spirit inside the door. The pressure of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul instantly filled the entire courtyard.

The door was split open, You Meir screamed, came out, and looked at them with angry eyes.

Under the dim moonlight, the power of You Meir's resentful spirit grew stronger.

When Qi An, Yanzhou and others took a look, they realized that she was not a beauty at all, but a faceless woman.

I remember the voice of "good brother" in the woods.

It felt like I had eaten a fly!

It’s a little hard to describe!

"What a mortal! He actually teamed up with them to deceive me," You Meir said sinisterly to Yao Xinyuan who was lying on the ground.

As he spoke, he gathered black energy in his palm and was about to attack Yao Xinyuan.

But before it could hit him, it was blocked by Yue Jian's spiritual power.

Bai Ji swung his sword forward, and the sword light flashed by as fast as lightning. At the same time, he used the Wind-Stepping Technique with his feet. His figure was so fast that it was difficult to catch him, and the sword energy was like a rainbow.

Two figures, one white and one black, were fighting in the air. Soon, the black figure retreated repeatedly, unable to withstand the sharp sword energy.

Baiji gathered a ball of light in his hand and quickly shot it towards the black shadow. Bang!

The black figure slammed into the ground, spitting out black blood from its mouth.

"Since we are going to die, why not die together?"

After she finished speaking, she grabbed with both hands, and a somewhat transparent white shadow in the room was suddenly grasped in You Meir's hands.

Yao Xinyuan, who was lying quietly on the ground, wanted to rush over and snatch the white shadow away as if he had gone crazy.

He was only held back by Qi An and Yan Zhou, and he begged desperately, "Don't... don't kill her."

"I didn't call them here. Please don't kill her. Please..."

Several people looked at this scene and were a little confused!

That white figure was just a soul, or to be more precise, a remnant soul.

Seeing that You Mei'er was unmoved, Yao Xinyuan turned around and begged Li Nian beside him, "Miss Li, please...save Hua'er, she did nothing wrong, she is innocent..."

Li Nian looked at the young man who was begging desperately with some complicated feelings.

"Heh...she's innocent?!"

"Mr. Yao, you may have forgotten that she also ate the souls of the common people, hahahahaha..." You Meir laughed crazily.

Li Nian looked at her, and while her attention was distracted, he filled his whole body with spiritual power, used the Wind-Stepping Technique, and rushed to You Meir's side. The spiritual power popped out from his fingertips and hit You Meir's hand.

When she instinctively let go of his hand, she grabbed Bai Ying and quickly slipped back to Bai Ji.

Before anyone could see clearly, Li Nian had already flashed over.

When You Meir found that Bai Ying was gone, she immediately rushed over and killed Li Nian without caring about anything.

After being hit by Li Nian's palm, he immediately became obedient!

"Master Yao, shouldn't you explain?"

Ye Zhanying frowned and looked at Yao Xinyuan and said

"We were invited by the city lord to help you. Now this vengeful spirit seems to have a complicated relationship with you!"

Yao Xinyuan was calm, he just looked at Li Nian crazily, and at the remnant soul in Li Nian's hand.

"Give her to me...give her to me," the young man said with trembling hands.

Bai Ji and others frowned. What was going on?

"Master Yao, this remnant soul is already extremely weak. If we delay any further, I'm afraid it will dissipate and disappear into the world." Li Nian reminded

"What? Impossible! As long as I eat those souls, she can stay with me forever!" The young man said painfully.

"Forever?! Hahaha, I lied to you!"

"A lowly dead soul deserves eternal life, the same as me?" You Meir's expression became distorted and hideous, which made people feel scared.

When Yao Xinyuan heard this, he looked at You Meir in disbelief and wanted to pounce on her, but was stopped by Yanzhou.

After hearing this, everyone was almost clear about the truth of the matter.

He sighed in his heart, his eyes a little complicated.

"Please... save her, she did nothing wrong. If you want to kill someone, kill me!" Yao Xinyuan kowtowed to the ground with great force. After a while, his head was broken and blood flowed down his brow.

The city lord came hurriedly from the main courtyard with the support of the housekeeper. When he saw this chaotic scene, he asked with trembling fingertips.

Bai Ji briefly recounted the situation. The city lord looked at his son on the ground in disbelief and said with deep sorrow, "You... you are so confused!"

The young man knelt on the ground, his face covered in blood and his eyes full of despair.

"Why...why do you do this?"

When the young man heard this, he looked a little dazed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was lost in some beautiful memories.

It turns out that this remnant soul is Fang Huaer, a prostitute in Tianman Tower, who sells her art but not her body, and has great attainments in playing the piano and chess.

Yao Xinyuan was invited by a good friend to come to Tianmanlou to listen to the piano for the first time, and he met Fang Huaer. Then the two were attracted to each other, met, got to know each other and fell in love.

Yao Xinyuan redeemed her from her status as a slave. Fang Huaer was originally the daughter of a declining family. With her talent, she opened a music school and became a famous musician.

Yao Xinyuan originally planned to bring Fang Huaer home before March to show her to his father, who would definitely like her.

He didn't expect that Fang Huaer would be kidnapped when he left to buy pastries.

When he found her again, she was lying on the ground naked, covered in blood, and lifeless...

Yao Xinyuan watched the scene in despair, holding Fang Huaer's body and sitting there dejectedly.

Until late at night, You Meir appeared and told him that as long as he could call back her soul, she would stay with him forever in the Soul Eater.

In this way, Yao Xinyuan covered up for You Meir as the young city lord, and those who hurt Fang Huaer were the first to have their souls sucked away.

Fang Huaer's soul, which should have returned to the underworld, was forcibly recalled and forcefully fed into human souls.

Yao Xinyuan didn't care, he just wanted her.

As long as it's her, whether she's a human or a ghost, what does it matter!
