Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

Upon hearing this, Han Li's expression changed slightly, and Yuan Yao's face turned pale.

Qin Han didn't give them a chance to speak and continued talking on his own.

"If I'm not mistaken, this beast is not a naturally born spirit beast, but a peculiar creature that is somewhere between a spirit beast and a demon soul, refined through a special secret method."

"In the entire Chaotic Star Sea, there is only one sect capable of refining this spirit beast."

At this point, he slowly turned his head, his blood-red eyes looking at Yuan Yao with a half-smile.

"Little one, do you wish for this old man to reveal the origin of this beast?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's expression changed drastically!

She instinctively clenched her sleeves, her body trembling slightly, and a look of undisguised horror flashed in her eyes.

The origin of this beast is one of her greatest secrets. This old ghost is nothing more than a vengeful spirit trapped in the Void Heaven Palace. How could he possibly know the details of the Howling Soul Beast?!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart. Her voice trembled slightly, but she tried her best to remain calm.

"Since you have taken a liking to this beast, senior, I will naturally not disobey you."

She gritted her teeth and reached out to lift the Soul-Crying Beast off her shoulder.

"However, this beast has been with its junior since childhood and is already sentient; I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Han's smile did not fade; instead, it became even more meaningful.

"Having been by your side since childhood?"

He slowly repeated the sentence, his tone suddenly turning cold.

"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

Yuan Yao's delicate body trembled instantly, her face turned ashen, and her hands holding the Crying Soul Beast were shaking slightly.

However, Qin Han suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

As if he had thought of something interesting, a glint of light flashed in his cold, blood-red eyes, and the chill in his tone instantly dissipated.

"Never mind." He looked at Yuan Yao with a half-smile.

"I don't want to make things difficult for a junior like you. But—" He changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming nonchalant, "I wonder how that Old Demon Three Yang is doing these days?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's pupils suddenly contracted!

Qin Han seemed oblivious to her reaction and continued speaking, his tone tinged with reminiscence and emotion.

"Speaking of which, it's been quite a few years since I last saw that old fellow. Back in the Chaotic Star Sea, we were old acquaintances who crossed paths a few times. Once I leave this Void Heaven Palace, I'll definitely go and pay him a visit—"

Qin Han looked at Yuan Yao meaningfully.

"While you're at it, ask him what he's been busy with all these years."

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Yao felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head!

Ever since she stole the Soul-Crying Beast and the Soul-Singing Pearl from Qingyang Sect, that old demon has been relentlessly pursuing her, forcing her to hide and flee.

This was her deepest secret, how could this old ghost know?!

Is it...

A chill ran down her spine.

Could it be that this old ghost and the Three Yang Old Demon are truly old acquaintances? Or even... have a deep friendship?

If that's the case, wouldn't I be walking right into a trap?

Yuan Yao immediately dared not think any further.

She gritted her teeth, no longer daring to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly opened her mouth.

A grayish-black bead flew out of her mouth, spun around, and landed in her palm.

The bead was about the size of a pigeon's egg, grayish-black in color, with faint runes flowing across its surface, radiating a strange spiritual pressure.

The key to controlling the Howling Soul Beast is the Soul-Singing Pearl!

"Please calm down, senior!"

Yuan Yao forced a smile, her voice trembling slightly, and presented the Soul-Sounding Pearl to Qin Han with both hands.

"This is the Soul-Resounding Pearl, which is also used to control the Soul-Crying Beast. As long as this item is refined using the same method as refining ordinary magic treasures, this Soul-Crying Beast will forever belong to you, senior."

She paused, gritted her teeth, and added:

"I haven't had this beast for long and haven't truly refined it yet. Senior only needs to forcibly erase the traces of my divine sense on it."

Qin Han looked at the gray-black bead in front of him, then at Yuan Yao's pale face with a forced smile, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"You're quite sensible."

He spoke calmly, and with a wave of his hand, the Soul-Sounding Pearl flew from Yuan Yao's palm and landed in his pitch-black ghost claw.

The moment Qin Han got his hands on it, he sensed a faint divine imprint within the bead, which he assumed belonged to Yuan Yao.

Although the mark had already merged with the Soul-Sounding Pearl, with his spiritual power, forcibly erasing it was just a matter of lifting a finger.

However, Qin Han did not make a move immediately.

With a thought, the Soul-Sounding Pearl disappeared from his palm and was stored in the world within the Creation Cauldron.

Then, his gaze fell on the little green monkey.

Then, he raised his hand, and an invisible suction force gushed out from his palm, pulling the Soul-Crying Beast from Yuan Yao's arms.

The little green monkey let out a sharp screech, its fur standing on end as it instinctively tried to resist.

However, under the oppressive aura of Qin Han, a Ghost King, its meager cultivation was simply no match for him.

Qin Han's mind stirred again, and the Howling Soul Beast's figure suddenly froze, followed by an expression of extreme pain appearing on its face. Then, it vanished from the spot without leaving a trace!

It was as if this spirit beast had never existed in the world.

Han Li's pupils contracted slightly, and his divine sense swept across a radius of several feet in an instant, but he could not sense the presence of the Soul-Crying Beast at all.

The emerald green monkey, along with all its aura, vanished into thin air!

"this……"

Han Li remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

Judging from the fact that he did not have any storage magic treasures such as spirit beast pouches on his body, could it be that the other party has some other special storage magic treasures?

That old ghost's methods are truly endless and unpredictable!

Zi Ling and Yuan Yao looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.

Qin Han ignored their reactions, simply standing with his hands behind his back, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Alright. You guys go ahead."

His gaze drifted deeper into the land of ghosts and vengeance, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes.

"I will inform you when I find a suitable body." Qin Han's figure slowly retreated, gradually merging into the hazy ghostly mist, leaving only his last words echoing in the yin wind.

Yuan Yao stared in the direction where Qin Han had disappeared, her heart filled with shock and fear, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Zi Ling, standing to the side, shook her head, looked at Han Li with a complicated expression, and whispered:

"Brother Han...who exactly is this person?"

Han Li remained silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled.

"I don't know." He stared at the direction Qin Han had disappeared in, his expression grave. "But one thing is certain. This person is no ordinary ghost."

After saying this, he said no more and turned to walk deeper into the land of ghosts and vengeance.

Zi Ling and Yuan Yao exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

The three figures gradually disappeared into the hazy ghostly mist, leaving only howling winds echoing through the endless ghostly land.
