Bai Mu couldn't hold back his tears and withdrew his hands. The woman's eyes flashed with disappointment because of this small action.

"Auntie, you got the wrong person!" "My name isn't Xuan'er. My name is Bai Mu!" Then, without looking back, he walked towards the window and jumped down.

"Xuan'er, Xuan'er …" The woman ran to the window and wailed in agony.

The woman slid down to the ground as she watched Bai Mu's back disappear into the distance. Xuan'er, I know you must be blaming me. It was her mother's fault, it was her fault … "Xuan'er, Xuan'er …" The woman repeatedly said that it was her fault, and again and again she called out the name of the person called Xuan'er.

Bai Mu, who hadn't left at all, leaned his back against the wall. As he listened to the woman's wails, tears unconsciously flowed down his cheeks. Wiping away his tears, he abruptly sped up his pace, sprinting madly towards a dark place …

"Xuan'er, don't worry. Mom will never give up on you. I will find you and let you return to my side."

"Ahh!"

This was a small forest, so Bai Mu was probably tired of running. He leaned against a large tree and shouted fearlessly, hoping to soothe the chaotic mess in his heart.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to have feelings for that family." A laugh echoed through the forest.

"Come out!" The pain on Bai Mu's face was quickly replaced by indifference.

Bai Mu had actually already noticed the change in the route beneath his feet. When he had left the Wang Family, he had planned to head home. Who knew that because of his distraction, that person had taken the opportunity to secretly change the route?

Regarding Bai Mu's discovery, he didn't reveal it, but remained calm and collected. This time, he definitely had to uncover the identity of the mastermind.

"Yo, you want me to come out isn't that simple? Eat the appetizer I prepared for you first."

As he spoke, countless white shadows swarmed over from every direction of Five Mile Slope, and arrived in front of Bai Mu. The shadows transformed into physical entities, filling the entire five Mile Slope! All of them bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they glared viciously at Bai Mu.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with my things?" That voice was filled with pride and mockery towards Bai Mu.

"I'm not too satisfied, but Xu Cheng, I didn't expect you to change industries!" He looked at the relatively familiar group of souls. On the first day he returned, he had encountered their corpses and even had their heads explode. Naturally, their souls were injured as well. The head of this soul wasn't much better than it was right now.

However, with so many souls, it was obvious that he would not be able to escape from the recent headless murders in H City. However, he did not expect Xu Cheng to be so merciless as to deal with these innocent people. Recalling the events that had occurred in the past few days, as well as the mastermind behind it today, Bai Mu finally understood what was going on.

The moment they reached the mountain, they encountered the attacks of the manipulated mummies, followed by a series of uncontrollable murder cases. Then, the fact that Xiao Min was almost turned into a mummified corpse was all due to this Xu Cheng.

It seemed that this Xu Cheng was born to be a director. He had arranged so many good scenes for him. What he found strange was that this Xu Cheng's Soulreaper Lock had been taken away by the King of Hell. Why was he able to take in so many souls? Furthermore, he even had the ability to control them?

Moreover, he wouldn't allow Xu Cheng to trample over human lives. After so many people had died in the past few months, it was impossible for the King of Hell and the rest of them to not know that Xu Cheng had broken away from the King of Hell and had joined a force that not even the King of Hell could interfere with.

As for Xu Cheng, who was hiding in the dark, his body trembled when he heard his name. It was also because of this disturbance in its aura that its location was exposed. With a swoosh, a bunch of dark purple lights shot towards Xu Cheng's location like arrows.

Sensing a sudden surge of energy approaching, Xu Pang Ma jumped onto another tree and his body immediately transformed into a solid form. He knew that as long as Bai Mu had the Spiritual Energy, even if he himself had become ethereal, he would still be injured.

"So what if I know? "Little bastards, attack!" Following Xu Cheng's order, those restless creatures pounced towards Bai Mu like hungry wolves. Bai Mu didn't mobilize his Spiritual Energy. Since they were solid, there was no need for it.

For a time, the sounds of a fist striking human flesh could be heard as the brute force and brute force clashed. As for Bai Mu, he was able to easily dodge the attacks of the corporeal ghosts.

However, Bai Mu was surprised to find that these ghosts seemed to be made of bronze. Their bodies were caved in by a fist the size of a human's fist. Even so, those things didn't collapse.

This made Bai Mu extremely furious. No matter what he was beaten into, as long as there was a trace of his physical body remaining, he would rely on this fact to launch an attack.

"Ao, ao, ao …" A series of sounds echoed throughout the cold and empty hillside. The corpses formed from the souls fought Bai Mu in turns. Even though Bai Mu was full of energy, he still found it difficult to endure.

"Heh heh ~ Don't worry, the good show is yet to come!" Xu Cheng knew that Bai Mu hadn't used his Spiritual Energy, so he naturally wouldn't place the item he was most proficient in at the front. This time, a chain that had been retracted appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

"Soulreaper Lock!" Bai Mu said in disbelief. At the same time, he sent a fist flying toward a female corpse in front of him.

"No, no, no" Xu Cheng shook his finger, "This thing is much stronger than the Hades' Soul-Reaching Lock. I call it the Soul Absorbing Lock. You should know that your father's soul was taken by this treasure."

"Alright, I'll be lazy to waste my time talking to you. I'll let you experience its power immediately!" As he spoke, he shook the Soul Absorbing Lock in his hand, and the white fog slowly spread out with a metallic sound. These ghosts were no longer frightened to death by the sound of death. As they heard this sound, their spirits were lifted.

The temperature in the surroundings plummeted, and the white fog that emanated from the Soul Sucking Lock instantly covered the entire hillside. The back of the mountain, which was already rather cold, now made people shiver even more.

"Hahaha …" Roar … Roar … Roar … Awoo, awoo, awoo. All sorts of ghostly wails were heard. It was as if they were mocking Bai Mu's current condition.

"An insignificant skill!" He secretly lit up the talisman that his master had given him. His eyes suddenly became as clear and bright as the stars, as if they had been washed by the purest water in the world.

The object within the white mist was clearly seen by Bai Mu. It seemed that although his master was a bit lacking in kindness, this talisman seemed to be quite useful. Bai Mu thought to himself that he must ask his master for two more talismans next time.

Seeing Xu Cheng's self-righteous sneer, he also laughed and asked a certain direction in the air, "Xu Cheng, is this the ability of your Soul Absorbing Lock?"

"What are you so proud of? Let's see what I'll do next! "

It was obvious that Xu Cheng didn't know that Bai Mu had used the talisman to open his Heaven's Eye. He thought that Bai Mu was only testing him because he couldn't find his bearings in the fog. Although his opened Heaven's Eyes wouldn't last for long, it was enough to deal with the item in front of him.

The souls that had previously been scattered like scattered sand were now fusing together, as if they were going to form a giant. So the reason why the fog rose was to stall for time! " Naturally, Bai Mu wouldn't let them succeed. He secretly gathered his Spiritual Energy and waited for the moment the ghosts converged.

Only at that time would the ghosts have the weakest soul power. If they could fuse well, it would be difficult for him to deal with them. The reason why Xu Cheng's fog rose was to deceive Bai Mu.

"Boom …" The ghosts didn't even have the time to cry out in alarm before their souls were destroyed by the Spiritual Energy that Bai Mu had sent over. Even their physical bodies had dissipated.

Since ghosts were connected to the main body, it couldn't help but affect the person that supported the soul fusion, not to mention that Xu Cheng wasn't a person, he was only a soul. Xu Cheng heard a pfft sound. The stream of blood that he had been holding back suddenly spurted out, and some of it even splashed onto the Soul-Sucking Lock.

Before Xu Cheng could cry out in alarm, Bai Mu had already flashed in front of him. He pulled the white figure that floated out of the Soul-Sucking Lock to his side, and then flew away from where Xu Cheng was.

He secretly took back the soul that he pulled over and laughed: "I didn't expect you to vomit blood even after turning into a ghost, and even more so, I didn't think that I would have to rely on your blood to unlock this Soul Linking Lock!"

Bai Mu didn't mention a single word about how he had just destroyed Xu Cheng's ghost. He knew that Xu Cheng was definitely furious, so he said these words to agitate the person in front of him. Oh, no, it should be a ghost!

"You …" The Phantom Soldier that he painstakingly nurtured over the past few days was instantly destroyed by Bai Mu, and he was also injured because of this. Not only that, the matter of him using his blood to nourish the Soul Sucking Lock was also known to him, and he even saved Wang Rong's soul.

"Enough!" "As a ghost, you actually dared to do such a thing. Tonight, I shall carry out justice for the heavens!" As he spoke, he prepared to smash the spiritual energy stored in his hand towards Xu Cheng.

With a bang, the Spiritual Energy collided. In a split-second, Bai Mu was forced back a big step. By the time the fog dissipated, it was unknown where Xu Cheng had escaped to.

"That person is not easy to deal with!" Recalling the strike just now, Bai Mu's hands were still trembling. He was indeed a ruthless person. Furthermore, his speed was astonishingly fast. He really couldn't feel anything when he attacked.

Without a second thought, he turned around and left the area with Wang Rong's soul.

Xu Cheng, who had returned to the underground palace, still had a lingering fear in his heart. He never thought that Bai Mu would have increased his strength so much. Not only did he break his Ghost Controlling Technique, he even almost lost his life.

"Xu Cheng, how dare you!" Master told you to go collect the soul, but you went and provoked that brat. If I hadn't arrived in time with the puppet leader, your soul would have been shattered long ago. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because Master is in seclusion. " Guan Li crossed his arms and said with a dark expression.

"Emissary Guan Li, many thanks this time. I hope you can forgive me, or else master's trial …"

"Now you know that Master's trial is not going well?" Guan Li harrumphed.

"What are you being so cocky for? He's just an ordinary person. If you have the ability, don't get in my hands." Xu Cheng muttered in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face like a grandson, "You're right, Envoy Guan Li. I was just lucky that I didn't reveal my identity. That brat still doesn't know that I'm from the underground palace."

Seeing that Guan Li did not say anything, Xu Cheng continued, "This little one guarantees that I will not seek out that person for revenge from today onwards. This little one will properly search for my soul elsewhere and promise that I will not cause any bad blood in the underground palace."

Hearing Xu Cheng's words, Guan Li looked at Xu Cheng and said with a sullen expression, "You can't do that again. Otherwise, no one will be able to help you out there!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Cheng nodded repeatedly and finally coaxed Guan Li into being happy before leaving dejectedly.
