"Senior Lin is not an evil ghost, Clark. He is my benefactor. Someone that has saved my life many times already." Han Bei replied after a short pause.
There was really no need to hide this truth from her man. And even if she would, she doubted that her lie would be believed at once.
Definitely not in front of our bored gamer who was as sharp as the greatest blade ever made.
"Be that as it may but that is no excuse for him to continue to leech on your body, Han Bei. I believe that he is taking no less than 90 percent of your cultivation and resources.
I would think that you have already repaid the favor that he has given you for many folds over." Clark said and his eyes was intent on the ordinary necklace on Han Bei.
It was adorned by the simplest of strings, thin and colorless, and displayed a silver coin as its masterpiece.
The coin was probably the ugliest misshapen coin that our bored gamer has seen in his long life.
It has no design whatsoever and was mostly definitely done with extreme haste because its surface was rough and was formed in an asymmetrical circle.
The silver coin was truly a blasphemy of art. Alas, Han Bei certainly did not feel that way at all.
She held the cursed thing in her hands as if to safeguard it from the prying eyes of our good gamer.
"Senior Lin won't survive if you do that, Clark. He is merely a wisp of soul. Please let him be."
Han Bei defended her benefactor. Looking at her beautiful face, our bored gamer could only sigh in response.
"Are you going to stay silent, old man? Would you continue to hide behind the body of a little girl? I can't believe that the mighty Lin Wu would stoop to this kind of lows."
Clark teased the old spirit inside the necklace. With the help of Nancy, it was easy looking at the details of this fallen soul.
"You dare!" A deafening shout echoed inside the room. What was crazy was how this voice of anger reverberated in waves unto the entirety of Aurora City.
"BANG!" A vast soul pressure then descended in the scene. It was so strong that millions of the population in the city could not help but prostrate in worship at this godly presence.

Inside the City Lord's secret cultivation chambers.
"What an irresistible power! I wonder which Senior and sect has arrived in my city?" The old man named Zhang Yun whispered as he was also already kneeling in place.
He tried to resist at first but it was a lost cause in the end. He was like a little child amidst this impossible display of spiritual force.
"I wonder who is brave enough to incur the wrath of this Senior?" Zhang Yun wondered and could only pinpoint the general direction of this power.
He dared not investigate further in fear of attracting slaughter into his own house.

"Ohhh... Enough with the theatrics, old man. We both know that you would not dare waste what meager soul power you have at this time.
You could truly die in the aftermath if such a thing were to happen. I bet that you would not like to face death today, do you?
Especially not someone like you who fears death more than anyone else in this world. You even had the balls to take your soul and put it in this ugly silver coin.
What epic cowardice indeed!" Our bored gamer laughed and continued to just lay down on the bed with his hands easily supporting his head.
Directly over him was the fuming shape of a cursed soul. Lin Wu wore a majestic daoist robe and had a very dignified bearing.
It was just sad that behind this mask of nobility was a cultivator who has fallen far astray from the Great Dao.
"Who are you? How do you know all these things?"
"I can't remember that we have ever crossed paths before!" Lin Wu was terrified with this realization. This was his greatest secret.
He was once a Heaven Realm Expert which had the lifespan of 5,000 years. He reached the peak of this realm after 4,000 years but grew stagnant in the following time.
This was a bottleneck that he faced for many decades until he realized that he could not achieve a breakthrough unto the Tribulation Realm in this lifetime.
Thus, he could only rely on some dark techniques that could preserve his soul even after his longevity was over. Lin Wu succeeded.
Alas, the drawback for this power was that he needed a strong host that he could cling unto.
Most of his targets would die in just a few years and thus, Lin Wu could only jump from body to body. This was true until he met our Han Bei. She was special because of her physique.
Han Bei possessed a rare body called Saint Physique.
"Hmmm... Is there a need for us to meet for me to know who you are and who you are not?" Our bored gamer smiled as he played some impromptu riddles into the fray.
"You..." Lin Wu's powerful form that was drowning with so much power right now took a step back from our good gamer. If he could, Lin Wu would have long vanished into parts unknown.
Unfortunately for him, he doubted that that would do him good with how mystical our avid gamer was at the moment.
"Leave now. You have had your luck in finding Han Bei. Don't waste this chance, old man. Leave or stay here forever." Clark offered 2 choices unto the fallen spirit.
Lin Wu was indeed lucky to be achieve a cooperation with Han Bei. One should know that a Saint Physique has the peculiar ability to purify all kinds of evil in this xianxia world.
Lin Wu who was an evil old monster while he was still alive turned into the sagely kind soul of today. With enough time, he could possess a body and make it his own.
A true rebirth was not far from this old man's road.
"Be well, little girl." Lin Wu said to Han Bei and a breath later, he was gone with the wind. The otherworldly spiritual pressure also vanished at once.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior! This girl will surely remember you forever!" Han Bei cried in the wake of her old benefactor.
