"Wade? Or Guster?" Sensing the change in Wade's demeanor, Fumino subconsciously took two steps back and tentatively asked.

"Neither..." Wade's face revealed a strange smile, which made Fumino feel quite unfamiliar.

"Ten years!" Wade spread his arms wide. "I've finally waited for this day. I can actually return to this world with a heroic physique!"

"What exactly are you?" Fumino asked in terror, backing away.

"Me?" Wade chuckled. "I'm a soul trapped here, desperately searching for a suitable body to stand on this earth again... Hmm?"

Halfway through his sentence, Wade suddenly frowned, accelerated, and rushed behind Fumino, grabbing her neck with one hand and her hair with the other!

Although she had only recently advanced, Fumino was still a hero-level hero. The fact that she was subdued so quickly shows the huge difference in strength!

In Fumino's memory, Wade did not have this level of power!

Just as Wade subdued Fumino, a tall man appeared where Wade had just been standing.

His appearance was so abrupt, like an edited film where someone suddenly appeared in the blink of an eye.

His appearance was so harmonious, so quiet, without disturbing a single blade of grass, a single tree, a single grain of sand, or a single stone, as if he had been standing there from the very beginning.

Upon seeing the man's face clearly, Fumino exclaimed in surprise, "The Hunter?"

That's right, the man who suddenly appeared was Zhang Lang!

Upon seeing Zhang Lang, Wade wore a look of disgust: "You persistent ghost! Every time I show even the slightest trace of my scent, you instantly come after me, trying to obliterate me with that strange power..."

Zhang Lang snorted coldly and took a step toward Wade.

"Don't come any closer!" Wade tightened his grip on Fumino's hand, a smile spreading across his face. "I know your mysterious power could have removed me from this boy's body, but you didn't. Because you sensed it, didn't you? I'm now bound to the boy's soul. If you remove me, the boy will die too!"

As he spoke, he ruffled Fumino's hair again: "Not only that, the girl won't survive either!"

"I've read her memories. I know you're companions from the same altar. You wouldn't want to kill her with your own hands, would you?"

Zhang Lang looked at Wade: "What do you want to do?"

"Looks like I guessed right!" Wade chuckled. "Beneath that ferocious strength and appearance lies a kind heart! If you don't want anything to happen to them, you'd better listen to me!"

"I'm not very familiar with them either," Zhang Lang said frankly. "I certainly don't want them to die, but if you're trying to use this to blackmail me and make excessive demands, then I'm sorry... I'll have no choice but to have them both die with you."

As he spoke, Zhang Lang raised his hand, releasing his explosive energy, which enveloped Wade.

"No...!" These words brought tears to Matsumoto Fumino's eyes. She had endured humiliation and struggled to survive in this ghost town, and finally, she had finally received help from her own teammates, who were now trying to kill her? Where could she find justice?

"That smell again!" Wade took several steps back. "I only have one request! Let me go somewhere, and then I'll let them go, okay?"

"Where?" Zhang Lang asked.

"It's not too far, it won't affect the world outside of town, trust me!" Wade grabbed Matsumoto Fumino: "Aren't you very confident in your power? I'm just a spirit, completely under your control. You wouldn't be so afraid to grant me such a small request, would you?"

Zhang Lang looked at Wade and gestured for him to follow: "You lead the way, I'll follow."

Wade smiled slightly: "No need to lead the way, you've been there before."

"This is the place where we first met!"

Located on Mount Kuwasaki, Kuwasaki Shrine is an ancient shrine with a history of over a thousand years. It enshrines the mountain god of Mount Kuwasaki. Long ago, the people of Kuwasaki town would come to the shrine to worship during festivals and pray for good weather and abundant harvests.

However, with the development of modern civilization, villages have transformed into towns. People no longer rely on natural resources like mountains, rivers, and land for their livelihood, and their reverence for the gods has gradually faded, leading to the shrine's abandonment. Until more than ten years ago, this place was taken over by a powerful evil spirit.

Zhang Lang followed Wade to this dilapidated shrine.

After getting off the plane in Aiyu City, in order to save time, he did not take a car, but went straight into the mountains and hiked towards Kuwasaki Town with the help of a map. Before long, he arrived at Kuwasaki Mountain and smelled a different atmosphere.

Mount Sangqi is teeming with all sorts of ferocious and powerful evil spirits. Zhang Lang, who had just mastered the ability to unleash his explosive power, naturally couldn't resist trying it out and killed a few evil spirits.

His move stirred up a hornet's nest. The evil spirits of the entire town of Sangqi received the message and rushed towards Sangqi Mountain, intending to devour the intruder alive.

Zhang Lang was quite pleased with this, so he allowed a large number of evil spirits to gather here, and then he released his power all at once, clearing out the entire Sangqi Mountain.

However, at the same time, something hidden in the Kuwasaki Shrine quietly escaped.

The moment Zhang Lang made his first move, this guy sensed something was wrong. This new intruder was unlike any of the previous exorcists. The others used spiritual power or magical artifacts to fight evil spirits, essentially "killing" them. But this guy's power was like an eraser; he simply swept it across and wiped the evil spirit away completely!

I've never seen power like this before! This guy is tough to deal with!

With his keen senses, Zhang Lang also noticed the peculiar entity attempting to escape. He immediately recognized it as the culprit and was about to eliminate it when he realized that covering the entire mountain had consumed too much of his inner energy, so he failed, only severely injuring it. The damaged spirit, weakened by its injuries, blended into the other fleeing evil spirits and disappeared without a trace.

Unbeknownst to him, the remnant spirit encountered Gust, who was exploring the mountains, and merged with him using a higher-level power, gaining his memories. It then entered Wade's jade tablet, and naturally, no longer could be detected.

After that, Zhang Lang recovered from his collapse while wandering around Sangqi Town. Whenever he caught a whiff of the remnant spirit, he would rush to eliminate it. However, the remnant spirit would always disappear without a trace. This is why the mysterious power that eliminates spirits would follow Guster wherever he appeared.

Now, Wade, controlled by the evil spirit, has returned here, clearly intending to do something.

"You wait outside..." Wade grabbed Fumino and led her into the shrine, turning back to warn Zhang Lang, "Wait outside for fifteen minutes, and don't come in, or these two guys will both be dead!"
