"What a handsome lad, be my errand boy!"
A malevolent spirit at the initial stage of Da Luo, engulfed by karma, leered at a passing handsome ghost.
The man carried a wooden book satchel, wore a square cap, and a plain linen robe, appearing like an ordinary scholar.
Indeed, this scholar possessed no cultivation, merely the soul of a mortal, brought to the underworld after death in the mortal realm.
However, one had to pass through several gates before being reincarnated.
He had just stepped out of the Ghost Gate and was already targeted by a malevolent spirit at the initial stage of Da Luo.
The reason was simple: the scholar was too handsome.
So handsome, in fact, that many passing ghosts felt ashamed and skirted around him.
These were ordinary souls, naturally unwilling to cause trouble. After all, they were already dead, and there were underworld constables patrolling nearby.
But these malevolent spirits, having emerged from hell, feared punishment but their inherently wicked nature made them unable to suppress their urge to do evil.
"Lad, still hesitating? Then I'll wipe your memory clean!"
With that, the malevolent spirit's eyes spewed green light, intending to erase the man's memories and turn him into a blank-souled puppet.
The patrolling underworld constables nearby showed displeasure.
But the opponent was too strong, and they were afraid to intervene.
They couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this lad was truly unlucky!
Seeing that even the constables dared not interfere, the surrounding ghosts quickened their pace, not daring to linger.
The malevolent spirit revealed a hint of smugness.
The handsome man's face contorted in terror.
"Help me!"
"Lad, you can scream until your throat breaks, no one will save you."
...........
Meanwhile.
Lin Yu's consciousness, touring the surroundings of the Underworld, frowned.
"Someone's calling for help over there, let's go take a look."
Ming Kun nodded. "That's the Ghost Gate, the first checkpoint for souls entering the Underworld. There are only weak souls there. I wonder who's calling for help, but it's fortunate they encountered us."
Lin Yu smiled. "It's his destiny not to die. Let's save him!"
Ming Kun nodded.
The next moment.
He appeared above the Ghost Gate.
Looking down.
A massive malevolent spirit was about to strike a strikingly handsome soul with its palm.
Ming Kun's brow furrowed.
"Truly outrageous. A powerful Da Luo early stage expert, bullying a mere mortal soul!"
Below.
The malevolent spirit cackled sinisterly.
The handsome man's soul was filled with despair.
How could he be so unlucky? In his mortal life, he had suffered inhumane torment from the powerful. If not for the Emperor saving him, he would have long since been tortured to death.
However, he was already old. Not long ago, rebels stormed the palace and executed him.
He was spared death due to his beauty, but soon became a plaything for the perverse new powers.
Not long ago, he had thrown himself against a grand hall, ending his tragic and sordid life.
He thought that death would bring an end to everything.
Who would have thought there was an underworld after death?
But what comforted him was that he could forget his past and reincarnate, starting a new life!
Yet, this most ordinary of dreams was once again being shattered by this impossibly powerful being.
"Monster! You will die a terrible death!" he roared with all his might, charging towards the malevolent spirit.
The malevolent spirit was enraged.
"Your soul is somewhat interesting, boy, but your memories are worthless."
"Since you're so arrogant, I'll torment you a bit, let you taste the suffering I endured in the Blood Pool Hell on the thirteenth layer of hell."
With that, he prepared to torment the soul.
Suddenly.
A somewhat familiar figure appeared before him.
Upon seeing the newcomer, his limbs trembled, and the soul dropped from his hand.
This being was as tall as ten thousand feet. If the soul fell, it would be utterly destroyed.
Ming Kun reached out and caught the soul.
As he got closer, Ming Kun was also surprised.
"A captivating constitution, appearing on a man. That's quite rare," he muttered to himself.
Then, he looked up at the malevolent spirit.
The malevolent spirit began to sweat profusely.
"My lord, I..."
"With the body of a Da Luo, you bully a mortal soul. What is your crime?"
"My lord, please listen to me. This lad's soul is special. I intended to offer it to you, but he was uncooperative, so I just wanted to teach him a lesson."
"Hmph, do you think I don't know what's in your heart?"
As his words fell, the malevolent spirit's face contorted with rage.
"I've been so humble, what more do you want?"
He roared fiercely.
"Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you!"
"I have connections above too. That's General Six-Eyed. You're just a newly appointed commander. I advise you not to be uncooperative!"
"If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones."
After saying this, he crossed his arms, looking as if he expected Ming Kun to retreat in fear.
Ming Kun's brow furrowed.
The mortal soul looked up at Ming Kun's profile, gritting his teeth.
"Esteemed lord, I have lived long enough. For me, whether my memories are wiped or I reincarnate, it makes no difference. Please do not make things difficult for yourself."
After saying this, he tried to struggle free.
However, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
The malevolent spirit laughed. "Commander Ming, this lad is giving you a way out. Go, and I'll forget this."
He roared with laughter.
It was as if he already saw Ming Kun retreating in anger.
*Whoosh~*
A flash of saber light streaked through the air.
*Puchi~*
A head, wreathed in surging karma, landed heavily on the ground.
The head still had consciousness as it hit the ground.
"You... you dare kill me! General Six-Eyed will not let you go!"
"Noisy!"
Ming Kun slapped out, and with a thunderous roar, the malevolent spirit was reduced to fragments.
"Hmph, you asked for it!" he snorted.
The handsome ghost, witnessing this, was filled with awe.
It turned out that the person before him was the strongest, infinitely more powerful than the malevolent spirit.
Ming Kun looked at him and silently inquired, "Brother, this lad's soul is somewhat interesting, but I don't think I'm assessing him accurately. Take a look."
Lin Yu nodded and said, "It's just a soul of enchantment at the immortal level."
"No! This lad can even influence me!"
Although the influence was slight, it was indeed an influence.
Lin Yu was no longer sure of his judgment.
"System, scan this soul."
"Ding, scan complete."
Source of the Great Dao of Enchantment: This soul is a manifestation of the Great Dao of Enchantment. It can be merged into the Heavenly Dao, perfecting the principles of the thirty-sixth Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly Realm.
Note: This Great Dao originates from an outer domain, not belonging to the Nine Rings Domain. When merged into the Heavenly Dao, it will cause the Heavenly Dao to undergo a slight transformation.
This Great Dao has consciousness and can be enfeoffed as a god. Its true spirit will merge into the Heavenly Dao; as long as the Heavenly Dao is not destroyed, it will be immortal!
