The three twisted heads of the vengeful spirit all suddenly opened wide, revealing blood-red mouths like black holes.

"Screech, screech..."

The three mouths of the vengeful spirit emitted a sharp, piercing wail in unison.

The sound was unbearably harsh, seeming to penetrate the sea of consciousness and echo deep into the soul.

Song Wen felt as though a thousand arrows were stabbing into his brain, threatening to tear his soul apart.

A sharp, unbearable pain spread from his sea of consciousness.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared within his mind, resembling an endless abyss, devouring all the shrill screeches.

The sharp pain in his sea of consciousness vanished instantly.

A shadow flashed.

The imposing figure of the Ghost King suddenly appeared, defending Song Wen.

The Ghost King wielded a giant sword and swung it at the vengeful spirit.

The vengeful spirit swung its four arms to block the massive sword.

The giant sword collided violently with the four arms in midair, and a powerful residual force swept out like a storm, stirring the surrounding ghostly mist.

The Ghost King staggered back a few steps, barely maintaining its balance.

The vengeful spirit and the Ghost King were of roughly equal strength, both at the initial stage of the third level.

However, in this dense ghostly mist, the vengeful spirit seemed more at home, as though it thrived in this environment.

Song Wen's hands began to glow with silver lightning. Two large lightning orbs, about the size of a washbasin, quickly formed.

He swung his hand, sending the two lightning orbs crashing toward the vengeful spirit.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

The lightning burst forth in an instant, enveloping the entire vengeful spirit.

Lightning magic was known to be one of the most effective against ghostly beings, and even Song Wen's most basic Thunder Palm technique proved to be highly effective in suppressing the vengeful spirit.

The lightning raged over the vengeful spirit, causing it to freeze mid-air. Its soul trembled violently, and large amounts of ghostly energy were obliterated.

The vengeful spirit's attack methods were rather simple—aside from using its shrill scream as a spiritual sense assault, it only engaged in close combat.

It struggled, attempting to pounce on Song Wen again.

A sharp, one-inch-long blade suddenly flew out from the center of Song Wen's forehead.

The blade bypassed the Ghost King and targeted the vengeful spirit's soul.

When the blade pierced one of the vengeful spirit's heads, it instantly froze, as if it had been struck by an intense chill, becoming motionless.

Then, the blade unleashed an invisible force, causing the head to explode in an instant, scattering into pure ghostly energy that floated away.

Driven by its instinct for survival, the vengeful spirit changed direction and began fleeing upward.

Song Wen wouldn't let it escape so easily.

The vengeful spirit was an excellent material for enhancing spiritual sense.

Three long lightning spears suddenly formed, shooting rapidly toward the fleeing vengeful spirit.

The lightning gleamed.

The three lightning spears all launched at once.

The lightning surged like a violent flood, tearing through the vengeful spirit's soul.

Large amounts of ghostly energy were shattered, and the vengeful spirit's soul became increasingly ethereal, no longer as solid as before.

With the lightning ravaging it, the vengeful spirit's speed drastically slowed.

Song Wen seized the opportunity, pressing his hand onto the vengeful spirit's body.

A powerful suction force emanated from Song Wen's body.

The vengeful spirit seemed to sense the impending doom. It screamed desperately, its soul struggling with all its might.

However, all of it was in vain.

The vengeful spirit was gravely injured and ultimately could not escape the pull of the suction force. It let out one final, desperate screech, before losing all resistance and being dragged into Song Wen's sea of consciousness, swallowed by the black hole within.

After dealing with the vengeful spirit, Song Wen stood still for a moment to catch his breath and plan his next move, when he heard movement coming from behind.

Song Wen furrowed his brow, realizing that the battle with the vengeful spirit had likely been noticed, and someone was coming to investigate.

"Could it be a Nascent Soul cultivator?" Song Wen speculated inwardly, becoming more alert.

No matter who was coming, Song Wen did not want to face them.

He focused, and a corpse puppet at the late stage of the first level suddenly appeared in front of him.

This corpse puppet had been abandoned for some time. Originally at the early stage of the first level, it had gradually weakened due to prolonged neglect, despite being nourished in a corpse-refining coffin. Its strength had inevitably declined.

Song Wen injected a surge of spiritual energy into the corpse puppet's body, and it charged into the cave.

The spiritual energy could not stay within the corpse puppet's body and kept leaking out.

Song Wen performed a quick movement technique and flew into the air.

He guessed that the person approaching might be a Nascent Soul cultivator, and since this cave was obviously a secret realm, the person might enter to investigate.

Song Wen couldn't afford to enter the cave now; if it had no other exit, he would be trapped inside.

As for the corpse puppet, it was just a distraction to confuse the approaching person.

As Song Wen suspected, the person wasn't a Nascent Soul cultivator, but rather Xing Yixuan.

She had followed Song Wen's faint blood trail, using blood-based secret techniques to track him.

"There are remnants of the vengeful spirit's soul here. The person must have just left," Xing Yixuan murmured to herself.

A brief flash of green light appeared in her eyes, and then her brows furrowed in confusion.

Although the person was clearly alone, she sensed two distinct residual auras at the location.

One trace ascended toward the sky, weak and elusive, difficult to pinpoint.

The other trace led deeper into the cave, with a distinct spiritual energy, mixed with thick corpse energy, suggesting it was from a corpse cultivation practitioner.

"Why is there another person?" Xing Yixuan muttered to herself.

After a moment of thought, she decided to explore the deeper part of the cave.

One trace was faint and one clear, and ordinary people would likely think that the obvious trace was deliberately planted as a distraction.

However, Xing Yixuan decided to go against her initial assumption.

She had witnessed Song Wen's battle with Xing Li Ren and knew well how cunning Song Wen was.

Thus, she figured Song Wen wouldn't leave such an obvious trace to hide his movements.

The cave wasn't deep, only a few miles long.

Xing Yixuan soon arrived at the cave's depths.

It was a vast underground hall.

Inside the hall were hundreds of stone platforms.

Had Song Wen been here, he would have immediately recognized the purpose of these platforms.

They were identical to the dissecting tables in the Corpse Demon Sect's Corpse Dissection Cave, with even the layout of the underground hall bearing a striking resemblance.

The only difference was that these dissecting tables were much larger, clearly intended for dissecting demon corpses rather than human ones.

The corpse puppet Song Wen sent into the cave had already been torn into pieces by a few vengeful spirits.

As soon as Xing Yixuan stepped into the underground hall, she was ambushed by five vengeful spirits at the third level.

Luckily, she was cautious and noticed the vengeful spirits in time, fleeing, but her sea of consciousness suffered significant damage.

While being pursued by the vengeful spirits, she had just escaped the cave when she saw a figure falling from the sky, landing heavily on a platform.

It was none other than Song Wen, who had seemingly escaped earlier!
