“Where is the Yin Spirit? Tell me, where did that Yin Spirit go? Didn’t you say it was fail-proof? That I wouldn’t lose it even between the expansive blue sky and the vast yellow spring?”

In the gloomy, death-laden city, scattered with bones and teeming with the mournful cries of Spectral Souls, a young man with his hair tied with a golden clasp, cloaked in a white robe, coldly stared at two grey-robed elders fiddling with a compass like magical instrument. His voice roared like a despicable ghost, an enraged spirit’s howl,

“Why is it untraceable now, tell me, how did you guarantee it to me initially? You urged me not to take action hastily, but now, not even a shadow could be found.”

“Young Sect Master, please calm down, just give us a little more time, this Thousand Yin Detector is one of the most fundamental spiritual treasures passed down in the Ghost Soul Sect, we are not yet familiar with it, which is why we couldn’t find the traces of the Yin Spirit.”

“Useless, all of you are utterly useless, you didn’t guarantee me this earlier.”

The voice of the brooding young man transitioned back from the ghastly screams to normal. However, the originally white ceremonial robe he wore now contained distorted faces of vicious ghostes. The robe turned grey and became shrouded by bloody evil spirits.

“With the talent of that Yin Spirit, it could at least achieve the status of a Ghost Immortal. If I could have gained it, not only could I step into the Dong Xuan realm, but I would even have the chance to inherit my father’s position, but now, because of all of you, it’s all gone in vain. If it can’t be found, I will cast all of you into the Corpse Raising Hall.”

“Young Sect Master, please quell your anger and don’t let momentary greed cloud your judgment, this could be detrimental to cultivation.”

A Cultivator, who seemed both present and absent, and kept shimmering in and out of existence appeared behind the young man. His deep and cold voice managed to contain the young man’s fury a little, who turned around to look at this Cultivator wrapped in dead souls.

“Greed? Li Shi, tell me, aren’t you greedy as well?”

“Even saints have their desires. We just shouldn’t indulge in them. We need to control them and not let them fog the Daoist Heart. Young Sect Master, haven’t you forgotten why you agreed not to lay your hands on that Yin Spirit girl immediately but to label her with the Thousand Ghost Tracking Compass and keep an eye on her?”

The shadowy figure clad in black armor, who barely gave away any presence, said calmly.

“Of course I remember, how could I possibly forget? I’ve etched her every move, her laughter, her voice, and her every frown deeply into my heart.”

While speaking, a grin crept upon the face of the golden armlet-clad youth in a grey robe.

Witnessing this scene, the two grey-robed elders alongside him exchanged glances as meaningful expressions spread across their faces.

For them, practitioners that manipulated corpses and ghosts, engaging in lustful tryst with Spectral Souls and attractive corpses was quite common.

After all, their Ghost Soul Sect dealt with these kinds of entities every day and were naturally affected by their aura, unlike the Profound Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been relegated as sidelined practitioners in the first place.

Their young Sect Master was particularly adept at this. His cave dwelling, housing all sorts of lascivious ghosts and alluring corpses was indeed a spectacle, acquiring a widespread reputation.

They didn’t notice the Yin Spirit girl who flew across the sky they encountered that day, but their young Sect Master, possessing the secret treasure of their sect, detected her presence and pursued hastily.

They also followed suit and had the fortune of seeing this being who seemed to possess Immortal Spirit’s aura. However, they quickly realized that this Yin Spirit girl was vastly different from the ordinary Yin Spirits. Her dress was no ordinary item, of extremely high quality, and possibly a celestial instrument.

Taking into account her spirit different from the Spectral Souls and Yin Spirits they had seen, and the pure and incredible Yin Qi on her body, it was natural to conclude that the origins of this Yin Spirit girl were extraordinary.

“Since you remember, why bother blaming the two elders? The situation that the Thousand Ghost Tracking Compass failed to locate her now demonstrates that our decision that day was right. Otherwise, at this moment, disaster might be imminent.”

“I know South-North is unusual, but that’s exactly why I want to obtain her, you understand? The Beauty Battle Hundred Ghosts that I spent half a lifetime collecting cannot compare to her. Do you understand how I feel?”

Upon hearing this, the golden armlet-bound youth’s demeanor suddenly became agitated. Once again, his robe turned white as many ghost shadows surged into his body, making his voice transform back into the screams of evil spirits, inspiring awe. However, the Cultivators by his side remained calm, evidently accustomed to it.

“I understand your thoughts, Young Sect Master, but there are many things in this world that we can encounter but cannot seek, as numerous as the crucian carp that cross the river. Are you going to seek all of them, Young Sect Master?

Currently, Young Sect Master should calm your mind, use this incident to refine your Daoist Heart. In this way, your cultivation can advance another step.”

“I understand everything you’re saying, but I can’t control it. I don’t want to think about this, I just want to obtain South-North.”

The youth’s face suddenly twisted, becoming gruesome and vicious as though it transformed into a fierce ghost. He extended his hand and his originally fair-skinned palm suddenly turned a ghastly green-black. His fingertips sharpened, looking like ghost claws.

“As long as I can obtain her, regardless of the price I have to pay, even if I have to carve out my father’s heart and offer it to her, as long as I can bring her a bit of joy, it would all be worth it.

I just want to know, where is South-North? Where should I search for her?”
