Meanwhile, in a night market of a certain city, two men were sitting at a barbecue stall enjoying their late-night snacks. One of them was Chi Jun, who had previously appeared outside Baishan Village in the deep mountains. The other man looked to be in his fifties, with a grim expression that gave off an air of danger, making people hesitant to approach him. This man was the main soul of Luo Hailiang.
At the barbecue stall, aside from Luo Hailiang and Chi Jun, there were five other tables filled with customers eating and drinking, totaling around twenty people. The atmosphere was lively, with laughter echoing through the air.
Chi Jun took a bite of his lamb skewer and noticed something unusual about Luo Hailiang's aura. He paused his movements and turned to look at Luo Hailiang, asking, "Luo Hailiang, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Hailiang gently shook his head and replied in a chilling tone, "My split soul has been discovered by someone—the Taoist who previously disrupted Zhang Guanghua's plans. I think his name is Jiang Ling."
Luo Hailiang's split soul had remained within the body of White Alliance, allowing him to learn some basic information about me through conversations between myself and White Alliance.
A strange glint flashed in Chi Jun's eyes as he rhythmically tapped his fingers on the table. With a serious expression, he said, "Luo Hailiang, that Taoist is no simple character. He managed to embarrass Ye Bihong and the others; he definitely has some skills. Your split soul only has Millennium Ghost General Cultivation; it will be very difficult to escape from that Taoist's grasp."
About a minute later, just as I was about to completely extinguish that split soul, Luo Hailiang suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. His face turned pale as he collapsed onto the ground. Luo Hailiang's body began to convulse uncontrollably as he hoarsely shouted, "Ah! Stinky Taoist, I will kill you!"
Since Luo Hailiang's main soul and split soul were one and the same, when I destroyed that split soul, it was akin to severing a part of Luo Hailiang's essence, causing backlash against his main soul.
"Luo Hailiang, are you okay?" Chi Jun hurried over and flipped Luo Hailiang onto his back. He saw black blood oozing from Luo Hailiang's orifices; his already pale face became even more grotesque as bluish corpse spots began to appear. The once smooth skin was visibly decaying at an alarming rate, releasing a foul stench from Luo Hailiang's body.
Originally just a companion soul of White Alliance, Luo Hailiang now controlled a body that had been refined through secret methods into a corpse. At first glance, this corpse seemed no different from a living person; however, now that Luo Hailiang's spirit was injured, the flaws of this body were laid bare.
Onlookers nearby noticed the commotion involving Chi Jun and rushed over. Someone eagerly asked, "Brothers, are you all right? Do you need us to call an ambulance?"
"What is that smell? Why is it so foul?" As the onlookers approached Luo Hailiang, they finally caught a whiff of the putrid corpse stench. They quickly covered their noses with their hands and looked at Luo Hailiang's body with puzzled expressions.
"Ugh~~ Ugh~~" At that moment, Luo Hailiang's body was severely decayed, yellow pus oozing everywhere. He looked as if he had been splashed with acid, an especially grotesque sight. The girls who witnessed this scene felt their stomachs churn, immediately crouching down and vomiting violently.
The boys' faces turned pale in an instant, fear flickering in their eyes. They turned to Chi Jun beside them, their voices tense as they asked, "Bro, what... what is going on? This person was just fine a moment ago; how did he suddenly become like this?"
Chi Jun sighed. He glanced at the onlookers and shook his head, speaking calmly, "You appearing here today is just bad luck for you. I hope you can live longer in your next life."
Upon hearing Chi Jun's words, an ominous premonition surged within the onlookers, but they couldn't pinpoint what had gone wrong. It wasn't until they saw the corpse on the ground move its head slightly and open its eyes, casting a chilling gaze over them, that realization struck.
"This... this corpse is alive again! What is happening?!" The onlookers exclaimed in panic as they watched the corpse agilely rise from the ground. Pieces of decaying skin fell from Luo Hailiang's body, and even his left eye had fallen out of its socket, dangling precariously from his face as if it could drop off at any moment.
"Monster... it's a monster! Everyone run!" The onlookers were horrified by the sight before them; goosebumps covered their bodies as they finally understood where the problem lay. They screamed in terror and quickly turned to flee from Luo Hailiang.
"It's useless; you can't escape. You will all become my nourishment," Luo Hailiang muttered ominously to himself. His cold gaze fixed on the fleeing crowd as he reached out into the void and clenched his hands tightly, shouting loudly, "Night of the Hundred Demons, Evil Spirits Rampant Night. I have a hundred ghost souls; one person walks alone at night. Gods block me, I kill gods; demons block me, I slay demons. Soul Devouring Spirits, come forth!"
As Luo Hailiang's voice fell, ghostly faces appeared on the backs of the twenty onlookers, each about the size of a palm. These were the sub-souls that Luo Hailiang had deployed in advance. He initially intended to use these sub-souls to devour the Yang Qi from those people to maintain his own body. When he and his companions left, he would secretly retrieve those sub-souls.
Unfortunately, circumstances had changed. By actively awakening the Soul Devouring Spirits, Luo Hailiang intended to completely consume the souls of those twenty individuals to repair his own damaged body.
"Hehe~~ Hehe~~" The sub-souls emitted eerie laughter as they opened their mouths wide and lunged at the Spirit Covers of those onlookers, pulling their souls out bit by bit.
These sub-souls were merely ten-year-old Evil Spirits created through Luo Hailiang's ghostly arts and were entirely different from his Millennium Ghost General's split soul. These sub-souls could handle ordinary people who didn't understand Taoist Magic fairly well. Even if Hou Libang and his group encountered these sub-souls, they could easily deal with them using the blessed Sabres I had given them.
