Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

"call--"

The young man exhaled a long breath, stretched his neck, and rotated his wrists a few times, as if adapting to this brand-new body.

Han Li stood several feet away, coldly watching this scene.

The scene from not long ago involuntarily flashed through his mind!

The scene when Qu Hun was possessed by Xuan Gu was exactly the same as when this old ghost possessed him.

At that time, he also watched helplessly as a body changed its owner.

"senior--"

Han Li suddenly spoke, his tone still calm as usual, but with a hint of icy coldness.

"This means the possession was successful."

Qin Han was adapting to his new body when he heard this, and his movements paused slightly.

He slowly turned his head, his pale red eyes looking at Han Li, taking in the undisguised coldness on the other's face and the fleeting anger.

Qin Han quickly guessed seven or eight parts of the truth after a moment's thought.

Qu Hun, Xuan Gu Lao Mo.

Han Li was moved by the scene before him!

Thinking of this, Qin Han's lips curled up slightly. Instead of getting angry, he revealed a half-smile.

"Yo—"

He spoke slowly, his tone playful, his face full of mockery.

"Seeing how annoyed you are, could it be—"

He drew out his words, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, "Which old monster tried to possess you before? Or was it a close friend or lover who was possessed? Perhaps this is triggering some painful memories?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's body suddenly stiffened!

His pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at Qin Han, utterly shocked.

How could that old devil guess so accurately?!

Apart from himself, no one else in the world knew that Qu Hun had been possessed by Xuan Gu.

This old ghost is nothing more than a yin spirit trapped in the Void Heaven Palace. How could he know so much about his experiences?

Although it didn't directly reveal the source, it guessed the matter pretty accurately in just a few words, which really made Han Li a little scared.

Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, but three times... that's definitely not luck!

Upon realizing this, Han Li was deeply shocked, and for a moment, the thought of keeping his distance from this old ghost arose in his mind.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the emotions that had not yet calmed down.

"You flatter me, senior."

He paused, met Qin Han's gaze, and said, word by word:

"Now that you have successfully possessed my body, senior, it is time for me to take my leave. After all, I have my own matters to attend to in this Void Heaven Palace. You have obtained what you sought, senior; our agreement can be considered fulfilled, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Han looked at him with a half-smile, neither exposing him nor revealing his true intentions, but simply nodded.

"Go."

He waved his hand casually, "I still need some time to get used to this body, so I won't keep you any longer."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a surge of ghostly energy appeared in his palm, revealing a strange talisman that was entirely black.

"Keep this with you. If the person who placed the restriction on you tries to harm you, crush this talisman, and I will come to your aid."

"But before that, you'd better find a way to survive, otherwise I alone will not be able to stand up to a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Han Li took the item, stared at Qin Han silently for a moment, then scanned the talisman in his hand with his divine sense. After confirming that it was correct, he put it into his storage bag.

Without saying another word, he turned and left.

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

The three figures quickly disappeared into the hazy, gloomy mist.

Qin Han stood there, watching the direction they had left in. The smile on his lips gradually faded, replaced by a deep and thoughtful expression.

"The next time we'll face Han Li is in the inner palace."

"But before that, I need to make my next move quickly!" Just as he was thinking, a sudden inspiration flashed in Qin Han's mind, as if he had thought of something.

Then Qin Han's mind stirred, and his figure vanished from the spot.

……

The Creation Cauldron, a world within the cauldron.

A flash of black and white light appeared out of thin air in this desolate little world.

His gaze swept across the gray-brown land spanning hundreds of miles, finally settling on a huddled figure in the distance.

It is the Crying Soul Beast that has already completed its reversal!

Qin Han lifted his foot, his figure became blurry, flickered twice, and instantly appeared in front of him.

But the little monkey was lying on the ground, its fur dull and lifeless, its eyes tightly closed, and its breathing steady, as if it were fast asleep.

Qin Han squatted down and examined it carefully, his brows twitching slightly.

The overall appearance of the Soul-Crying Beast has not changed much. It is still about a foot long, with a high nose and a slightly comical face.

But there seem to be two differences.

The fur, which was originally emerald green, has now turned into a light blue-green color, shimmering faintly in the light of the world inside the cauldron.

The color wasn't particularly vibrant, but it exuded an indescribable aura, making it seem like a completely different beast from its previous sinister appearance.

Then there was the image of the hideous demon, which had vanished without a trace, replaced by a piece of smooth, soft, and pristine light blue fur.

Qin Han reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of the Crying Soul Beast.

A warm sensation came from my palm.

Previously, the Soul-Crying Beast exuded a chilling aura, but now, this little monkey emanated a gentle, yang energy, completely opposite to its previous state.

"We actually managed to reverse the situation." Qin Han muttered to himself, his tone tinged with satisfaction.

He withdrew his hand and his gaze fell on the gray-black bead on the ground not far away. It was the "Soul-Crying Bead" that controlled the Soul-Crying Beast!

With a wave of his hand, the bead flew up from the ground and landed in his palm.

It felt cool to the touch, and there were faint runes flowing on its surface. Qin Han could feel the faint divine imprint left in the bead, which was left by Yuan Yao.

Without saying a word, he immediately probed into it with his divine sense and easily wiped away the mark.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Soul-Sounding Pearl in one gulp.

Once the pearl entered his stomach, Qin Han immediately activated his magic power, using the same method as refining ordinary magic treasures to wrap the Soul-Sounding Pearl layer by layer, repeatedly refining it with his divine sense.

The entire process took only a few dozen breaths, and the Soul-Sounding Pearl established a close connection with his soul.

Just then, the sleeping Soul-Crying Beast suddenly opened its eyes.

Its eyes were no longer the dark green they used to be, but had turned into a light gold, clear and bright, like a pair of polished amber.

It glanced at Qin Han, its eyes no longer showing the fear or hostility it had before, but rather a hint of affection.

With a light, cheerful cry, it climbed onto Qin Han's shoulder in a few steps, settling down steadily with its tail swaying gently, looking extremely obedient.

Qin Han glanced at it, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He reached out his hand, and the Soul-Crying Beast instinctively rubbed its head against his palm, feeling the soft, furry touch.

"It seems...nothing special about it."

Qin Han muttered to himself, carefully examining the little monkey on his shoulder.

Its aura was gentle and restrained at the moment. It was neither a spirit beast that could restrain ghosts nor a strange beast that could restrain righteous cultivators. At first glance, it was no different from an ordinary spirit beast, and even looked harmless.

"Never mind. We'll take him out and see when the time comes, and then we'll know for sure." Qin Han withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it.

He stood up, looked around at the desolate world inside the cauldron, and secretly made plans in his mind.

"Right now, there are more important things to do; we need to leave this haunted place as soon as possible."

With this thought in mind, Qin Han's mind stirred again, and his figure flickered and disappeared from the world inside the cauldron.
