Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

Only cooperate with the strong... Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he was speechless inside.

This old fox is nothing more than a malevolent spirit, without even a physical body, yet he acts incredibly arrogant.

If it weren't for the strange method that could reverse the properties of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, Han Li would never have wanted to deal with such an old fox.

Han Li inwardly grumbled, but his face remained calm.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

"In that case, I agree. But—" He changed the subject, his gaze falling on the two menacing ghostly figures.

"Please keep your promise, senior, and make these two ghostly figures retreat first. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to discuss the follow-up matters with you in peace."

Qin Han followed his gaze and saw two ghostly figures, one black and one gray, hovering not far away. Their eerie green eyes were fixed on Han Li, and their Yin energy fluctuated violently, clearly indicating that they were still hesitating whether to make a move.

"That's natural."

Qin Han smiled faintly, and with a flash, he arrived in front of the two ghostly figures.

When Qin Han approached, the two ghostly figures instinctively retreated several feet, and a clear look of fear appeared on their souls.

The aura of a Ghost King is absolute authority in this land of ghosts and vengeance. Although they are not very intelligent, they know that the being in front of them is not someone they can provoke.

Qin Han looked down at them, his tone indifferent.

"This man is useful to me. You may all leave now."

The black shadowy figure let out a low hiss, seemingly unwilling.

The gray ghostly figure stared intently at Han Li, its Yin energy fluctuating more and more violently, clearly unwilling to give up.

After all, how can you just let go of prey that's already in your mouth?

They have been wandering in this land of ghosts and vengeance for hundreds of years. Since they became spiritual beings, they have been devouring the spirits and vengeful souls of the same level to increase their strength. However, this speed is too slow and is far less effective than devouring the primordial spirits of these cultivators from the outside world.

Now that they've encountered so much food, they naturally won't give up easily.

Upon seeing this, Qin Han frowned slightly.

He naturally knew what those two ghostly figures were up to.

These two ghosts weren't actually that strong.

That is equivalent to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

What's truly troublesome is the green ghost bead in their hands!

Sealed inside is a tiger demon spirit. Once the spirit-attaching technique is used, the two ghostly figures can merge into a three-headed tiger demon, whose strength will surge to the level of a ghost king.

This is also why Han Li went to great lengths to resolve them in the original story.

Thinking of this, Qin Han's lips curled into a cold smile.

"I know what you want."

He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"The tiger demon spirit within that ghost pearl is indeed important to you. But you must understand,"

He paused, his blood-red eyes sweeping over the two ghostly figures.

"If you offend me, even if you have that tiger demon artifact spirit, you might not be able to use it while you're still alive."

Upon hearing this, the souls of the two ghostly figures trembled simultaneously.

They naturally believed this statement without a doubt.

Speaking of which, ever since Qin Han transmigrated here, they had tried to provoke him, but they were ultimately no match for Qin Han, who possessed the cultivation of a Ghost King.

Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, Qin Han's tone softened somewhat.

"However, I am not an unreasonable person. Today, you will give me face," he said, pointing to the deeper part of the Ghostly Land, his tone carrying a hint of temptation.

"Many cultivators have wandered into this haunted place. Once I've finished my business, I'll find you some suitable prey so you can feast to your heart's content. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, the two ghostly figures exchanged a glance, seemingly making a final decision.

A moment later, the gray ghostly figure let out a low groan and slowly retreated, disappearing into the hazy gray mist.

Seeing this, the black ghostly figure let out a reluctant hiss and then disappeared into the fog.

Qin Han watched them retreat and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If these two ghosts are determined to cause trouble, he is not afraid, but he will have to expend a lot of effort.

This outcome is already the best it can be.

As for finding prey for them, Qin Han sneered. They were about to die, yet they still dared to negotiate with him. They were truly ignorant of their own limitations!

Once he finds a suitable body, driven by past grudges, he will return to devour it.

You should know that they are powerful ghosts equivalent to the mid-stage of Core Formation. After devouring them, his strength is very likely to break through to the peak of Core Formation!

Thinking this, he turned around and looked at Han Li again.

"Well? I kept my word. Now, can we have a proper talk?"

Han Li looked in the direction where the two ghostly figures disappeared, and his wariness of Qin Han grew even stronger.

This old ghost not only has bizarre methods, but he can also command the ghosts in this haunted place at will. He is indeed no ordinary person.

It seems that turning against them here is definitely not a wise move; let's just take it one step at a time.

"Senior is indeed incredibly powerful." Han Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute and spoke calmly, as a response to Qin Han.

After he finished speaking, he looked directly at Qin Han.

"Senior just mentioned that you need to find a suitable body to possess. What kind exactly? And when should I make my move?"

However, after saying this, he suddenly changed the subject and said:

"However, senior, please be careful. I am only at the early stage of Core Formation. If I encounter someone that I cannot defeat even after using all my strength, please do not blame me for being prudent and protecting myself."

Han Li stared intently at Qin Han.

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Qin Han's blood-red eyes. He snorted coldly in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged on the surface.

"No rush."

He spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on the deeper reaches of the Ghostly Land, his tone carrying a profound meaning.

"Just keep going forward. If you come across a suitable one, I will remind you."

As Qin Han finished speaking, his gaze lingered on Han Li for a moment before his tone suddenly changed.

"but--"

He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of profound meaning.

"Before we get down to business, shouldn't you introduce these two people?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zi Ling and Yuan Yao, who were bound by chains of Yin energy behind him, and gave a half-smile.

Han Li paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the two women, then nodded slightly and spoke:

"They are my companions. Since you and I are joining forces, please..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Qin Han laughed heartily.

"That's natural."

With a wave of his hand, the two jet-black chains of yin energy shattered inch by inch, turning into wisps of black mist that dissipated into the air.

Zi Ling and Yuan Yao felt a sudden lightness throughout their bodies, and the bone-chilling cold instantly disappeared. The two hurriedly circulated their magic power to dispel the remaining yin energy in their bodies, and retreated behind Han Li with pale faces, their eyes filled with the shock of surviving a disaster.

The Soul-Crying Beast also broke free from the black light barrier, leaping onto Yuan Yao's shoulder in a flash. Its emerald green fur stood on end, and it let out a low hiss at Qin Han, looking as if it were facing a formidable enemy.

Qin Han glanced at the little monkey, but didn't care. He simply raised his hand unhurriedly.

"Wait a minute."

Han Li frowned upon hearing this.

"Does the senior have any other conditions?"

Qin Han's lips curled into a meaningful smile as his gaze fell on the emerald green monkey.

"I have one more condition: I have taken a liking to this Soul-Crying Beast."
