we are safe."Still within the cave, Jiang Yun heard the voice of the Emperor Xuanyuan.Just now, Emperor Xuanyuan said he had something to attend to and would be leaving for a while. Jiang Yun didn't...Right now, Ginger Cloud has no idea that Fang Yu Xuan and Ghost Fury have already teamed up to deal with her.

All of his attention was focused on the middle-aged man in front of him, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

In his mind, Bai Ze kept letting out earsplitting screams.

"Heaven's Blessing, Heaven's Blessing! There's actually a Heaven's Blessing realm Yin Spirit here. Boy, don't you run away quickly What are you standing here doing!"

"Run away, run as far away as possible. Right now, you're no match for someone from the Heavenly Blessing Realm. Run!"

Bai Ze's scream made Jiang Yun involuntarily chuckle. Facing a Tianyou realm expert, where would he even have the possibility of escaping

Moreover, judging by his appearance, he seemed to have always been by my side, yet I was completely unaware of it.

If he wasn't intentionally trying to play a trick on the other party, he probably would have continued to follow silently and unnoticed.

Although Ginger Cloud had previously guessed that the opponent belonged to this world and was a powerhouse at the Heavenly Blessing Realm, he never expected them to be a Yin Spirit!

Naturally, he was different from ordinary ghosts. He still clearly retained his own sanity!

However, Gingercloud wasn't too surprised. It must have been because the other party's cultivation realm was higher.

Baize once said, the Heavenly Blessing Realm, that's a realm where one is blessed by heaven.

In short, the other party is most likely the strongest person in this world who could wield the power of this land.

Even if this world was swallowed by the Underworld Beasts, he managed to retain his sanity thanks to his immense power or perhaps some other unknown reason.

The two of them just stared at each other, neither speaking a word. Jiang Yun could even clearly feel that in the other person's gaze towards him, there was a hint of scrutiny.

A moment passed, seeing that the apparition still showed no intention of speaking, Jiang Yun could only take the initiative and ask directly, "I have no grievances with you, senior. I wonder why your disciples keep trying to kill me"

Hearing Ginger Cloud's question, the ghost's strange smile on its face became even more intense, and it directly answered: "Because your body is very suitable for me!"

As the other party spoke in that raspy, indistinct voice, Jiang Yun could confirm with greater certainty that it was the same person who had spoken to him twice before.

However, Ginger Cloud's brow furrowed in thought.

To possess one's own body, it is nothing more than a soul possession. To occupy another person's physical form with one's soul entity, much like borrowing a corpse to return to life.

Although Yinlings are not souls, they certainly share similarities with them. So it's understandable that he would want to take over someone else's body.

Only Ginger Cloud couldn't figure it out. Soul possession, the taking over of a living body, yet the other party clearly wanted to kill her.

Furthermore, given the opponent's Heavenly Venerate Realm strength, it would be effortless for them to seize my body if they chose to. There was no need for such convoluted schemes—manipulating ghosts and inciting cultivators from the Shan Hai realm to attack me.

Unexpectedly, the ghost took the initiative to answer: “Once I make a move, this mist will invade my body, causing me to lose my last vestiges of consciousness and become a completely soulless entity!”

Although Jiang Yun still didn't quite understand, he could already roughly guess what was going on.

In this world, even the bodies of ghosts are actually composed of ubiquitous gray mist.

And these mists, I'm afraid, are the key to the ghost realm beasts spawning ghosts!

This favored one, though born as a Specter, did not allow the mist to fully invade his body, thus retaining his last vestiges of sanity.

But if he makes a move, the mist will find an opportunity!

No wonder he can only command ghosts and has to rely on others' power to kill himself!

The specter spoke again, "I can only inhabit the bodies of the dead, and from all of you who have come here, I have chosen yours!"

Jiang Yun finally realized, but of course he wouldn't believe everything the other party said, so he still kept his guard up and said: "Since senior can't take action, borrowing the power of outsiders also can't kill me, then I wonder what senior's plan is now"

The apparition chuckled again, and instead of answering, asked: "Don't play these little games with me. What are your intentions for calling me out"

Those who can cultivate to the Heavenly Blessing Realm are at least thousands of years old, each a venerable monster with deep scheming. Even though he had become a yin spirit, he saw through Jiang Yun's purpose at a glance.

Indeed!

Ginger Yun spoke up and invited the other party to appear for a reason, even going so far as to deliberately drive away all her fellow disciples.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun said calmly, “I originally wanted to make a deal with my senior. I hope that my senior could allow me and my fellow disciples to leave this realm!”

The specter grinned and said, "Now, it can be done just as well!"

Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring fixedly at the other person and said: "Senior's meaning is, you want me to sacrifice myself to fulfill my fellow disciples"

"Sacrifice Don't be ridiculous!" The specter blinked. "Apart from one person in this world, no one else can kill you. And that person I can't control either, so I've changed my mind!"

This sentence caused another stir in Jiang Yun's heart. Among the thousands of cultivators in the Shanhai Realm, it wasn't strange for someone to be able to kill him, but to be so confident and even unable to be driven by the other party, this person must be extremely powerful.

However, Jiangyun also knew that the other party probably wouldn't tell him who that person was, and now he didn't have the heart to worry about other things.

The apparition continued, "You've seen it too, this world has been corrupted beyond recognition. And to leave, I alone must make a way out, punch a hole through."

"But once I make a move, I will completely become a ghost spirit. At that time, the one who will be sacrificed will be me, not you!"

Jiang Yun asked puzzledly, "Senior, what do you mean Just say it straight!"

Let me enter your soul!

"Rest assured, as long as you're alive, I can't possess you. I can only enter your soul and, using the cover of your powerful life force, block those gray mists. That way, I can make a move and create an exit."

By then, you and your fellow disciples will be able to leave, and you must also take me with you. And promise me, after leaving this realm, help me find a suitable body!

“Enter my soul” Jiang Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I wonder what effect that would have on me”

"At most, it'll just make you a little weaker!"

Gingercloud didn't speak right away. Instead, he bowed his head, pretending to be deep in thought. In reality, however, his mind was racing.

Up to this point, he could at least be certain of the other party's objective: to seize his body and leave this realm!

But what they call "not taking action" must surely mean they are hiding something.

The simplest restriction would be to prevent the use of spiritual energy. However, since the other party constantly hides within the void, this ability couldn't have been innate; it must also require the expenditure of spiritual energy.

However, the other party's actions must be subject to some unknown limitations, which is why they appeared and conducted a transaction with me.

But at least there was one thing the other party shouldn't have lied about, he should have thought that if he wanted to leave this world with all his fellow disciples, he probably really could only rely on him.

But allowing someone into one's soul is absolutely not as simple as he said, it will definitely not just make them slightly weaker.

He might even truly seize his own body and take its place!

Bai Ze also roared madly: “Boy, you must not agree to him, he definitely doesn't have good intentions. If you let him into your soul, you'll be inviting the wolf into the room, and it will be difficult to get rid of him once he’s in!”

Jiang Yun was just about to ask Bai Ze how strong the Heavenly Blessing Realm was when, suddenly raising his head, he found that the ghostly figure in front of him had vanished.

This caused Jiang Yun's heart to jump, and immediately afterwards, a sense of impending doom arose.

Jiang Yun suddenly turned back, and in his sight appeared two figures, along with a golden sword qi!
