Chapter 993: Chapter 39: Accepting Disciples Chapter 993: Chapter 39: Accepting Disciples “New soul?”

Wang Ba was startled and immediately looked toward Ji Lan.

But what he saw was Ji Lan with eyes full of astonishment and suspicion.

With a thought, he quickly walked over.

Through the crystal coffin, he could clearly see that the girl was still lying quietly, as if asleep.

But he could also feel clearly that her breath had vanished, and although her body’s vital energy was still present, it was hollow and empty, giving a sense of withering.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but look toward Li Yingfu:

“Enforcer Li, are you sure?”

Li Yingfu didn’t explain and said solemnly:

“Right Enforcer, would it be convenient to open this coffin?”

Wang Ba once again glanced at Ji Lan, then said with a serious expression:

“Open!”

Li Yingfu didn’t hesitate for a moment and gently tapped the crystal coffin.

The lid of the crystal coffin instantly flew off.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but take two steps forward, his Spiritual Sense sweeping over the girl in the coffin, but he did not detect the ‘new soul’ Li Yingfu was speaking of.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn’t doubt Li Yingfu’s judgment.

As a Nascent Soul Later Stage cultivator, the other’s keenness was certainly not something he could compare with.

Ji Lan’s Spiritual Sense also scanned at the same time, her eyes filled with even more confusion.

Li Yingfu remained calm, his hand forming an incantation gesture.

Muttering words under his breath.

He then suddenly took out a tea basin from his Storage Treasure and gently tapped it.

From inside the tea basin, a stream of water instantly flew out, heading straight into the mouth of the girl in purple.

After a few moments of silence.

At the Spiritual Government between the girl’s eyebrows, a ripple of light suddenly appeared.

Within the light, one could indeed see an indistinct and shapeless, immature phantom.

Seeing this scene, Ji Lan’s whole body shook!

Wang Ba’s face also showed surprise.

He dared not speak, only to see Li Yingfu lifting a finger and the light of the water ripple gradually faded, and the phantom, as if affected by something, suddenly plunged into the girl’s eyebrows.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but look toward Li Yingfu:

“Enforcer Li, what is this situation?”

Li Yingfu’s eyes revealed contemplation, then he half speculated and half affirmed:

“Based on Martial Uncle Ji’s words, this girl is young, yet her soul could withstand a Golden Core Craftsman’s soul, even exhausting it, which shows her soul is extraordinary and extremely tenacious…”

“And a person’s soul is like a kindle of fire; sometimes the soul may be worn out, but if the body’s life force is still there and is preserved properly, even a mere wisp of ember can potentially reignite…”

“So, she’s not actually dead?”

Wang Ba glanced at the girl who was still lying quietly and questioned.

Li Yingfu shook his head:

“To be precise, the original her has dissipated along with the obliteration of her soul, and this new soul, although still the owner of this body, strictly speaking, is no longer the original her.”

Wang Ba felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

He sighed softly.

Perceiving the change in Wang Ba’s emotions, Ji Lan beside him couldn’t help but feel a sinking in his heart, his thoughts rapidly changing.

He gritted his teeth and immediately made a fist-and-palm salute:

“Master Wang, Elder Qin’s Spirit Possession of Ye Lingyu, I am aware of this matter, but did not intervene due to the dire situation of the Sect at the time.

I do not say this to shirk responsibility…

Now that Elder Qin has passed, if Master Wang wishes to avenge Ye Lingyu, Elder Qin was after all an Elder of our Sect, and though deceased, I am willing to take the responsibility on his behalf…

But please, considering that you were once a disciple of our Sect, spare the other members of the East Saint Sect from your wrath!”

Hearing Ji Lan’s words, Li Yingfu couldn’t help but look at Wang Ba and Ji Lan in astonishment.

He had sensed earlier that the Right Enforcer seemed to have a deep connection with this East Saint Sect, but hadn’t thought much of it.

Now hearing Ji Lan’s words, he suddenly understood.

Wang Ba was also taken aback upon hearing this.

He glanced at Ji Lan somewhat surprisedly.

With a thought, he guessed Ji Lan’s intention.

Then, in the surprised look of Ji Lan, he calmly shook his head:

“You are mistaken; I am not a disciple of the East Saint Sect.”

Ji Lan was shocked.

Not a disciple?

Could Junior Brother Hui be wrong!?

But that shouldn’t be…

the same name, and seemingly familiar with Ye Lingyu…

Wang Ba remained expressionless:

“Of course, you are not entirely wrong; indeed, I have some connection to your East Saint Sect.

To be precise, I once worked as a handyman in your Sect’s Beasts Room.

Yes, a chicken-farming handyman.”

“Handyman?!”

Ji Lan couldn’t believe his eyes and stared wide-eyed.

Li Yingfu, although expressionless, was also deeply shaken inside!

“Not even a disciple?!”

“The Right Enforcer’s starting point…

was that low?”

“From a small country Sect handyman to the Right Enforcer of the Wanxiang Sect’s Diwu Hall…”

He couldn’t help but be moved:

“How difficult must his journey have been!”

At that moment, he felt profound respect for Wang Ba.

Before, he merely admired Wang Ba for his talent and the way he conducted himself, and was grateful for Wang Ba’s previous action to save them in a moment of crisis.

But now, thinking about it, a mere handyman with no background, from a small country, had survived the upheaval of the Sect and risen against all odds.

In just a few decades, he had made Nascent Soul Cultivators bow their heads…

“You are a concealed Spiritual Root!”

Ji Lan said with some astonishment.
