Chapter 278: Chapter 193: Blood Burning

At this moment, Li Yi had returned to the Peace Finance Building.

He took a bath, cleaned the filth from his body, and after a brief rest, he immediately put into practice the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill and entered a state of Meditation.

This time, the Meditation was not for the purpose of Cultivation, but because Li Yi wanted to understand the supernatural event in the old city district.

At this moment, he needed to consult someone.

The vengeful spirit residing within the Sword Coin.

The origin of all these events was because of him, and now with such a calamity unfolding, perhaps this inherently evil vengeful spirit could come up with an idea, think of a plan to deal with it.

"Evil vengeful spirit, wake up already, I have a question for you,"

"Evil vengeful spirit, come forth."

"Evil vengeful spirit..."

Perhaps growing impatient with Li Yi’s persistent calling, the next moment, the energy field of the Sword Coin fluctuated, and then the energy converged, and the phantom of an Incomplete being appeared.

"You, demon head who’s on the verge of becoming a true demon, stop your chanting. In my life, my actions were upright and aboveboard, how come I became an ’evil vengeful spirit’ when it got to your mouth? Indeed, your demonic nature is deep in your bones, and your words reveal an abyss of evil. You have used up all the merit I had previously accumulated with just a few words, truly worthy of an Earth Prisoner,"

The vengeful spirit inside the Sword Coin revived and immediately snapped at Li Yi.

"Stop pretending to be asleep. When your gravesite was disturbed, a fierce ghost emerged, and now that ghost has possessed a person and has gained a following. Do you know what’s going on?" Li Yi asked.

"Oh, you mean that woman possessed by a fierce ghost? I do have some recollection of that. However, this matter was caused by you Earth Prisoners. If it wasn’t for your disturbance of my resting place, how could she have been afflicted by that evil fierce ghost? It’s all your greed that led to the release of that terrible thing," the vengeful spirit inside the Sword Coin said, taking pleasure in the misfortune.

Li Yi immediately pursued the matter further, "We’ve been working together for some time now, and I believe we’ve already established a solid and unbreakable friendship. Why not be generous to the end, talk about the origins of that fierce ghost, and give a solution, how about it?"

"Don’t try to get chummy. I am a man of virtue and high morals, how could I establish a friendship with an inherently evil Earth Prisoner like you? Don’t flatter yourself; our relationship isn’t that close, and today is our first meeting," the vengeful spirit in the Sword Coin retorted.

"Hearing you say that, I suddenly remembered something. If I hold the Hanging Man Spear in one hand and grasp the Incomplete Coin in the other and collide them together, which do you think will come out on top?" Li Yi asked seriously.

With his words, the energy field of the Sword Coin immediately began to surge.

The half-formed figure conjured by the remnants within the Sword Coin instantly showed a look of shock, then pointed at Li Yi and said, "You, when did you come up with such a malicious method to deal with me?"

The Hanging Man Spear is a Netherworld Artifact, specifically designed to kill fierce ghosts and harm souls. It is the bane of the remnants within the Sword Coin.

During his prime, he wouldn’t fear the mere Hanging Man Spear, but now only a remnant of him remained. Just one touch and he would be instantly scattered, permanently erased from this world.

"I can’t help it; I also want to be a good person, wear suits, and tie ties. I don’t want to be a rascal or a hoodlum, but it’s up to the senior to give me a chance," Li Yi said.

He had no other option.

After all, the issue with Liu Yan was serious and involved many people’s lives and deaths.

"Now you have truly become a qualified demon, and while I feel gratified, I can’t help but feel heartbroken. You Earth Prisoners become demons as easily as eating or drinking. If I had known this would happen, I should have urged you towards goodness," the remnant in the Sword Coin said.

"Then you should regret not teaching me how to be a good person," Li Yi replied.

"No, even if I had urged you towards goodness, you couldn’t have become a good person, only a hypocritical demon," the remnant in the Sword Coin declared.

Good, good, good.

It seems I’m destined to become a demon, no matter what.

Indeed, the prejudices in people’s hearts are like mountains, immovable no matter what.

Li Yi continued, "Regardless of what you say, this matter concerns the safety of many people, even my own safety, so today, I must get some information by any means necessary."

"Since your obsession is so strong, and you’re wielding the Hanging Man Spear, then let us talk," the remnant inside the Sword Coin conceded, not persisting in his stand-off with Li Yi. After all, he really didn’t want to be stabbed to death by Li Yi’s spear. He still had unfulfilled wishes and needed to cling to life in this world.

"That fierce ghost is actually an incarnation of lingering regret. In its previous life, it was also a cultivator, but due to insatiable greed, it tried to rob my grave, only to be killed by an after-death countermeasure I left behind. Because its death was unjust, its vengeful spirit remained, lingering around my grave. Originally, with the evil nature of the Earth Prison, it would have been quickly dissipated, but then you Earth Prisoners started coming one after another, delivering yourselves to death."

"With so many deaths, the number of vengeful ghosts increased, and this person’s spite absorbed quite a lot of them, thus surviving and growing stronger by the day, eventually becoming a fierce ghost, attaching itself to a woman’s corpse, and escaping."

"Since then, it’s been like a fish in the ocean, a dragon soaring into the sky."

"From what I’ve observed, this demon has now come into its own, gaining some spiritual intelligence, remembering some of its previous life’s techniques. Therefore, it has learned the Corpse Control Technique, allowing countless unjustly dead to, like it, inhabit a corpse, cultivating and evolving."
