Fu Jingyu tore open the shattered armor on his chest and gasped: “Baoxin Worm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the skin, the grotesque demon worm had already bitten through and devoured Master Qin’s heart; three black tendrils had already bound his soul into a tight bundle, shoving it toward its mouth…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuan swiftly felt his body and pulled out a smooth, jade-like object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baoxin Worm, nearly biting into the soul, froze—its sharp snout protruded from beneath the flesh, as if confirming something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Jingyu and the others tensed: they must preserve Qin’s soul—it was the last clue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others had died earlier;

a strike might shatter the nearby soul along with the worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lao clutched a counting rod tightly, hesitating: “If there’s truly no other way… I’ll try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuan knew at once: Yan Da was just like him—willing to step up, but without full confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuan’s dagger could also handle this worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuan slowly pulled back with one hand, dragging the “Tai Sui Jade” to lure the black, grotesque Baoxin Worm inch by inch out of the flesh; with his other hand, he gripped the dagger: “Yan Da, strike—if anything goes wrong, I’ll do my best to fix it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!” Yan Lao gritted his teeth and asked Fu Jingyu: “Where’s its vital point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Jingyu, from a learned family: “Its abdomen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lao swiftly calculated—confirming Fu Jingyu was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm had been pulled out halfway; Yan Lao widened his eyes, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a white shadow shot in from behind Xu Yuan—“Ang!”—it extended its neck and swallowed the Baoxin Worm along with Qin’s soul in a single gulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Fu!” Xu Yuan shouted, lunging for the white goose’s neck, trying to squeeze the worm back out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Jingyu sighed and stopped his hand: “No use—it’s too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Fu Jingyu’s intervention, Da Fu spat out the worm, kicked its big webbed feet, and scurried away—wobbling, yet astonishingly fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuan’s grasp met empty air; without fire wheels, he could never catch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Fu flapped his wings triumphantly, honking loudly, circling everyone once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he returned before Xu Yuan, opened his beak, and—glug—spat out a bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the bubble: Qin’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unharmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuan was overjoyed and immediately called to Fu Jingyu: “Quick, act!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Jingyu cast his spell, firmly binding Qin’s soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lao beamed at Da Fu and said to Xu Yuan: “Da Fu is quite the expert at dealing with worms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yuan patted his forehead in praise; Da Fu ducked his neck to avoid it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immediate soul interrogation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lao’s Eye and the Drifting Master stepped back voluntarily to “clean up the battlefield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Jingyu cast several spells, and Qin’s soul spoke without reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qu Hui  Office was unquestionably the expert here—they had many methods to preserve memory while erasing consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly were you doing in Ghost Witch Mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin’s soul, vacant, replied: “To negotiate with the malevolent spirits within, and persuade them to leave Ghost Witch Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!” Everyone present was stunned—was this not pure fantasy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The malevolent spirits were born and raised here—how could they possibly leave Ghost Witch Mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll find them a better place. And as long as those few on Guanghuo Street agree, most of the head monsters will follow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ordinary malevolent spirits in the mountains?
