The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of blue smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out, all of you!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable just a moment ago? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, her actions seeming far from a mere test or probing counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she wasn’t just retaliating—she was utterly enraged. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and mysterious, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.
If word got out that she couldn’t even defeat the soul forms of two Ghost Kings, she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!
Concealment was their greatest skill. Once they fully retreated into hiding, even ordinary Netherworld deities would be unable to detect them.
Naturally, the white-robed female ghost couldn’t find them either.
To lure out Wuqing and Wu’ai, kill them, and keep today’s events completely hidden, the white-robed female ghost calmed herself, her mind racing. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh and said, “Wuqing, Wu’ai, I know you haven’t gone far. You’re hiding nearby. Let me tell you my true identity: I am Bai Luolan, also known as the Netherworld Thief, wanted throughout the Netherworld. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. I possess countless treasures, and recently, I even stole all the elixirs from the Yellow Springs Ancestor… If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can offer you immense benefits. But if you refuse, I’ll use a celestial escape talisman to return to the immortal realm!”
The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing for any unusual presence. She was even willing to reveal her true name to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most-wanted criminal. She had stolen from almost every department of the Netherworld and had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the items weren’t particularly valuable, their theft was a profound insult and provocation to the Netherworld’s various departments. As a result, the Netherworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. Yet, due to her elusive and unpredictable movements, the Netherworld had been unable to capture her for centuries.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
Wu’ai suddenly materialized her spirit beside a tree.
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to look at Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, surely you’re willing to cooperate with me?”
Bai Luolan knew that after revealing the truth, cooperation was impossible.
Based on her understanding of the Ghost Kings, they would spare no effort to capture her, even at the cost of their soul energy. This was exactly what she wanted.
If the Ghost Kings chose to hide and flee, she would have no way to capture them.
So, she had to find a way to lure out the soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”
Sure enough, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s doppelgangers attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at top speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape—certain death was imminent.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai suddenly froze! In the next instant, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing. In her hand was a purple gourd, which she used to capture Wuqing’s three soul forms. She also collected Wu’ai’s soul, along with the spectral horse it was attached to. However, when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled instantly. She frantically looked around, thinking her plan was foolproof, only to realize she had been deceived.
Wu’ai emerged on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of sheer panic on your face is truly something! You probably never imagined you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me enlighten you—not only do I possess Keen Eyes, but I also have a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can delve into your deepest thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your true origins. The talisman you just used was a Soul-Locking Talisman, an artifact only the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor possesses. Given your level of skill, it’s nearly impossible for you to have stolen it from the Locking Nether Emperor. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even darker. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you really have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you attach your soul to a ghost guard without permission, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts with him. If War Wuji were to find out about this, what do you think would happen to you? So, rather than both of us suffering, why not become friends? We could even swear siblinghood, support each other, and join forces in the future. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own spirit?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the essence of a Yin Saint. You’re fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you can’t engage in romantic affairs with living people?”
“What would happen if I did? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already know what love feels like.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking somewhat resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you did, one of you would die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Aira deity. You must know of Aira, right?”
“Of course I know of Aira. It was because of her story that I was so eager to understand love.” Wu’ai looked at Bai Luolan curiously. “I heard that Aira eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Of course it’s true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell for a faithless man. After he attained immortality, he abandoned her. She waited bitterly in the mortal realm for a thousand years, and only recently did she awaken to the truth. Now, she’s determined to take revenge in the immortal realm and kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai’s heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, everything seemed to make sense.
The celestial soldiers soon transformed into green smoke and disappeared.
Other ghost officers and ghost horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various magical talismans!
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out, all of you!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable just now? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, completely unlike someone who had merely been testing the waters before launching a counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she wasn’t just retaliating—she had been thoroughly provoked. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful primordial spirits of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and mysterious, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.
If word got out about today’s events—that she couldn’t even defeat the primordial spirits of two Ghost Kings—she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!

The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing for any unusual auras. She was even willing to reveal her true name to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most-wanted criminal. Nearly every department in the Netherworld had been robbed by her, and she had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the stolen items weren’t particularly valuable, for the Netherworld’s various departments, it was a profound insult and a blatant provocation. Thus, the Netherworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. Yet, Bai Luolan’s movements were so erratic and elusive that, even after centuries, the Netherworld remained powerless against her.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
Wu’ai suddenly materialized her spirit beside a tree.
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, surely you’re willing to cooperate with me?”

Because if the Ghost Kings chose to hide and escape, she would have no chance of catching them.
So she had to find a way to lure out the primordial spirits of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”

Three of Wuqing’s doppelgangers attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s primordial spirit, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape—certain death was imminent.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai suddenly froze! In the next instant, Bai Luolan swiftly reappeared behind Wuqing. In her hand was a purple gourd, which she used to capture Wuqing’s three primordial spirits.

“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even grimmer. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”

“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own spirit?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the essence of a Yin Saint. You’re fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you can’t engage in romantic affairs with living people?”
“What happens if I do? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already have learned what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you do, one of you will die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hell Goddess Ailuo. You must have heard of her, right?”
“Of course I know of Goddess Ailuo. It was because of her story that I was so eager to learn what love is.” Wu’ai looked at Bai Luolan curiously. “I heard that in the end, Goddess Ailuo ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Absolutely true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell for a faithless man. After he attained immortality, he abandoned her.

“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai was stunned, feeling as though a sudden revelation had dawned on her.
“You were so powerful just now—how come you’re hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, not appearing to be merely testing them, but launching a counterattack. Watching her frenzied state, it seemed less like retaliation and more like she had been completely enraged. Just moments ago, she had barely escaped with her life after being pushed to the brink of death, using many precious life-saving talismans. Now, she was determined to use even more talismans to destroy the souls of these two detestable spirit-kings once and for all!
She had a nickname—Yōumíng Dàodào (Phantom Phantom Thief)—because of her mysterious and unpredictable nature, and her talent for stealing from all over the place, almost never failing.
If today’s events were made public, and it was known that she couldn’t even defeat two spirit-kings, she would lose all credibility.
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!

She then collected Wu’ai’s soul, along with the spectral horse it was attached to. But when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s remaining soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I actually fell for it!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled. She frantically looked around, thinking her plan was foolproof, only to realize she had been tricked.
Wu’ai appeared on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of panic on your face is quite something! You probably never dreamed you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you?

They were experts at concealment. Once they fully retreated into hiding, even ordinary Netherworld deities would be unable to detect them.
Naturally, the white-robed female ghost couldn’t find them either.
To lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out, kill them, and keep today’s events completely secret, the white-robed female ghost calmed herself down, her mind racing. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh and said, “Wuqing, Wu’ai, I know you haven’t gone far. You’re hiding nearby. Let me tell you my real identity—I am Bai Luolan, also known as the Netherworld Thief, wanted throughout the Netherworld. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. I possess countless treasures, and recently, I even stole all the elixirs from the Yellow Springs Ancestor… If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can offer you immense benefits. But if you refuse, I’ll use a celestial escape talisman to return to the immortal realm!”
The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing for any unusual presence. She was willing to reveal her true identity to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most wanted criminal. Almost every department in the Netherworld had been robbed by her, and she had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the stolen items weren’t particularly valuable, their theft was a great insult and provocation to the Netherworld’s various departments. Thus, the Netherworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. Yet, due to her elusive and unpredictable movements, the Netherworld had been unable to capture her for centuries.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
Wu’ai suddenly materialized her spirit beside a tree.
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, surely you’re willing to cooperate with me?”
Bai Luolan knew that after revealing the truth, cooperation was impossible.
Based on her understanding of the Ghost Kings, they would spare no effort to capture her, even at the cost of their soul energy—exactly what she wanted.
If the Ghost Kings chose to hide and escape, she would have no way to catch them.
So, she had to find a way to lure out the soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in the next life!”
Sure enough, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s clones attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape—certain death was imminent.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai suddenly froze! The next moment, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing, a purple gourd now in her hand. She used the gourd to capture Wuqing’s three soul forms, then also captured Wu’ai’s soul along with the spectral horse it was attached to. However, when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled, and she hurriedly looked around. She had thought this move was foolproof, never expecting to still fall for a trick.
Wu’ai emerged on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of panic on your face is truly something! You probably never imagined you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me tell you—not only do I have Keen Eyes, but I also possess a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can see into your deepest thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your true origins. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, which only the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor possesses. Given your abilities, it’s nearly impossible for you to steal from the Locking Nether Emperor. So, the only explanation is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even grimmer. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you attach your soul to a ghost guard without permission, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts with him. If War Wuji were to learn of this, what consequences do you think you’d face? So, rather than both of us suffering, why not become friends? We could even swear siblinghood, support each other, and join forces in the future. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of Yin Saintliness. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you cannot engage in romantic affairs with living humans?”
“What would happen if I did? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already know what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking somewhat resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you did, one of you would die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special mental technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Airavata. You must know of Airavata, right?”
“Of course I know of Airavata. It was because of her story that I was so eager to learn what love is.” Wu’ai looked curiously at Bai Luolan. “I heard that Airavata eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Of course it’s true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell for a faithless man. After he became an immortal, he abandoned her. She waited bitterly in the mortal realm for a thousand years, and only recently did she awaken to the truth. Now, she’s determined to take revenge in the immortal realm and kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai’s heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, everything seemed to make sense.
Bai Luolan was the underworld’s most wanted criminal. She had stolen from nearly every major underworld department, even secretly altering the Book of Life and Death. While some of the stolen items weren’t valuable, for the underworld’s departments, these thefts were immense humiliations and provocations. Hence, the underworld had placed a substantial bounty on her head. Unfortunately, Bai Luolan’s movements were unpredictable and elusive. Despite centuries of effort, the underworld remained helpless in capturing her.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out, all of you!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable just now? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, completely unlike someone who had merely been testing the waters before launching a counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she was not just retaliating but had been thoroughly provoked. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to use even more talismans to destroy the hateful souls of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and mysterious, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.
If word got out about today’s events—that she couldn’t even defeat the souls of two Ghost Kings—she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!

But if you refuse, I’ll use a Celestial Escape Talisman to return to the immortal realm!”
The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, fully focused on detecting any unusual presence. She was even willing to reveal her true name to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most wanted criminal. Almost every department in the Netherworld had been robbed by her, and she had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the stolen items weren’t particularly valuable, their theft was a great insult and provocation to the Netherworld’s various departments. Thus, the Netherworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. However, Bai Luolan’s movements were erratic and elusive, and for centuries, the Netherworld had been powerless against her.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
Wu’ai suddenly materialized her spirit beside a tree.
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to look at Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, surely you’re willing to cooperate with me?”
Bai Luolan knew that after telling the truth, there was no chance the other party would cooperate.
Based on her understanding of the Ghost Kings, they would spare no effort to capture her, even at the cost of their spiritual energy. This was exactly what she wanted.
If the Ghost Kings chose to hide and escape, she would have no way to catch them.
So, she had to find a way to lure out the souls of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”
Sure enough, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s doppelgangers attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s spirit, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s soul at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape and was doomed.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan suddenly vanished, while Wuqing and Wu’ai abruptly froze in place! The next moment, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing. In her hand was a purple gourd, which she used to capture Wuqing’s three spiritual souls. She also captured Wu’ai’s spirit along with the spectral horse it was attached to. However, when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s spirit, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled instantly. She frantically looked around, thinking her plan had been foolproof, only to realize she had fallen into a trap.
Wu’ai emerged on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of panic on your face is truly remarkable! You probably never imagined that a mere Ghost King would expose you, did you? Let me enlighten you—not only do I possess Keen Eyes, but I also have a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can penetrate your deepest thoughts. You attempted to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your true identity. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, a treasure exclusive to the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor. Given your abilities, it’s nearly impossible for you to have stolen it from him. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even darker. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?”
Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you recklessly attach your spirit to a ghost guard’s body, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts with him. If War Wuji were to find out about this, what consequences do you think you’d face? So, rather than both of us suffering, why not become friends? We could even swear siblinghood, support each other, and join forces in the future. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”

Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you can’t engage in romantic affairs with people from the mortal world?”
“What happens if I do? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already know what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking somewhat resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you do, one of you will die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is?

She waited bitterly in the mortal world for a thousand years, and only recently did she awaken to the truth. Now, she’s determined to take revenge in the immortal realm and kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai was stunned, feeling as though a sudden revelation had dawned on her.
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat into hiding.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of blue smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out, both of you!”
“Weren’t you so powerful just now? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”

She also collected Wu’ai’s soul, along with the spectral horse it was attached to. But when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!

You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your true origins. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, which only Lock Nether Emperor Rakshasa possesses. Given your level of skill, it’s nearly impossible for you to have stolen it from Lock Nether Emperor. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”

“Of course I know Goddess Aira. It was because of her story that I was so eager to learn what love is.” Wu’ai looked at Bai Luolan curiously. “I heard that in the end, Goddess Aira ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Of course it’s true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell for a faithless man. After he became an immortal, he abandoned her. She waited bitterly in the mortal realm for a thousand years until recently, when she finally woke up and decided to seek revenge in the immortal realm, to kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai was stunned, feeling as though a sudden realization had dawned on her.
Bai Luolan knew that once she revealed the truth, cooperation from them was impossible.
Based on her understanding of the spirit-kings, they would spare no effort—even risking their souls—to capture her, which was exactly what she wanted.
Because once the spirit-kings disappeared and fled, she would have no chance of capturing them.
Therefore, she had to find a way to lure out the souls of these two spirit-kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and conceal themselves.

A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at top speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape and was doomed.

Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive.

The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing for any unusual auras. She was willing to reveal her true identity to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most wanted criminal. Almost every department in the Netherworld had been robbed by her, and she had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the stolen items weren’t particularly valuable, their loss was a great insult and provocation to the Netherworld’s various departments. Thus, the Netherworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. However, Bai Luolan’s movements were erratic and elusive, and after centuries, the Netherworld still hadn’t been able to capture her.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
Wu’ai suddenly materialized her spirit beside a tree.
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to look at Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, surely you’re willing to cooperate with me?”
Bai Luolan knew that after telling the truth, there was no chance the other party would cooperate.
Based on her understanding of the Ghost Kings, they would spare no effort to capture her, even at the cost of their soul energy. This was exactly what she wanted.
If the Ghost Kings chose to hide and escape, she would have no way to catch them.
So, she had to find a way to lure out the soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”
Sure enough, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s doppelgangers attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape—certain death was imminent.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan suddenly vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai froze motionless! The next moment, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing. In her hand was a purple gourd, which she used to capture Wuqing’s three soul forms. She also collected Wu’ai’s soul, along with the spectral horse it was attached to. However, when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled. She frantically looked around, thinking her plan had been foolproof, only to realize she had fallen into a trap.
Wu’ai appeared on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of panic on your face is quite something! You probably never dreamed you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me tell you—not only do I have Keen Eyes, but I also possess a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can discern your innermost thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your origins. The talisman you just used was a Soul-Locking Talisman, something only the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor possesses. Given your abilities, it’s nearly impossible for you to steal from the Locking Nether Emperor. So, the only explanation is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even darker. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you attach your soul to a ghost guard without permission, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts. If War Wuji were to find out about this, what do you think would happen to you? So, rather than both of us suffering, why not become friends? We could even swear brotherhood, support each other, and join forces in the future. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you can’t engage in romantic affairs with people from the mortal world?”
“What would happen if I did? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already know what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking somewhat resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you did, one of you would die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Aira deity. You must have heard of Aira, right?”
“Of course I know of Aira. It was because of her story that I was so eager to understand love.” Wu’ai looked curiously at Bai Luolan. “I heard that Aira eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Of course it’s true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell in love with a faithless man. After he attained immortality, he abandoned her. She waited bitterly in the mortal world for a thousand years, and it was only recently that she woke up and decided to seek revenge in the immortal realm, to kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai was stunned, feeling as though a sudden realization had dawned on her.
“Whoosh!”
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of blue smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out now!”
“Weren’t you both so powerful earlier? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, her actions seeming less like a calculated counterattack and more like a furious outburst. She had been pushed to the brink of death, forced to use many precious life-saving talismans to narrowly escape. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the detestable soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and mysterious, she stole from everywhere and had almost never failed.
If word got out that she couldn’t even defeat the soul forms of two Ghost Kings, she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!
They were experts at concealment. Once they fully retreated into hiding, even ordinary Netherworld deities couldn’t detect them.
Naturally, the white-robed female ghost couldn’t find them either.
To lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out, kill them, and keep today’s events completely secret, the white-robed female ghost calmed herself and suddenly let out a cold laugh. “Wuqing, Wu’ai, I know you haven’t gone far. You’re hiding nearby. Let me tell you my real identity—I am Bai Luolan, also known as the Netherworld Thief, wanted throughout the Netherworld. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. I possess countless treasures, and recently, I even stole all the elixirs from the Yellow Springs Ancestor… If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can offer you great rewards. But if you refuse, I’ll use a Celestial Escape Talisman to return to the immortal realm!”
The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing for any unusual presence. She was even willing to reveal her true name to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most wanted criminal. Nearly every department in the Netherworld had been robbed by her, and she had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the stolen items weren’t particularly valuable, their theft was a great insult and provocation to the Netherworld’s various departments.

If the Ghost Kings chose to hide and escape, she would have no way to capture them.
So, she had to find a way to lure out the soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in the next life!”
As expected, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s clones attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape—certain death was imminent.

Wu’ai emerged on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of sheer panic on your face is truly something! You probably never imagined you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me enlighten you—I not only possess Keen Eyes but also a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can penetrate your deepest thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I unraveled your true origins. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, an artifact exclusively held by the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor. Given your level of skill, it’s nearly impossible for you to have stolen it from the Locking Nether Emperor. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even darker. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”

We could even swear siblinghood, support each other, and join forces in the future. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own spirit?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the essence of a Yin Saint. You’re fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you can’t engage in romantic affairs with living people?”
“What happens if I do? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already know what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you do, one of you will die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is?

“Absolutely true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell for a faithless man. After he attained immortality, he abandoned her. She waited bitterly in the mortal realm for a thousand years, and only recently did she awaken to the truth. Now, she’s determined to take revenge in the immortal realm and kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai was stunned, feeling as though a sudden revelation had dawned on her.
It seemed Bai Luolan had no way to escape and was surely doomed.
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out now!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable earlier? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, her actions appearing far from a calculated test before launching a counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she was not merely retaliating but had been thoroughly provoked. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and stealthy, she stole from everywhere and had almost never failed.
If word got out that she couldn’t even defeat the soul forms of two Ghost Kings, she would lose all face.

“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled, and she frantically looked around. She had thought her plan was foolproof, never expecting to fall for a trick.

We could swear brotherhood, support each other in the future, and help one another. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you can’t engage in romantic affairs with living people?”

Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking resentfully at Bai Luolan.

Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful souls of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and stealthy, she stole from everywhere and almost never failed.

However, when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled instantly. She frantically looked around, thinking her plan had been foolproof, only to realize she had fallen into a trap.
Wu’ai emerged on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of sheer panic on your face is truly something to behold! You probably never imagined that a mere Ghost King would expose you, did you? Let me enlighten you—not only do I possess Keen Eyes, but I also have a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can peer into your deepest thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your true origins. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, an artifact exclusive to the Rakshasa Lock Nether Emperor. Given your level of skill, it’s nearly impossible for you to have stolen it from him. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even darker. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you attach your soul to a ghost guard without permission, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts with him. If War Wuji were to find out about this, what do you think would happen to you? So, rather than both of us suffering, why not become friends? We could even swear siblinghood, support each other in the future, and join forces. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you cannot engage in romantic affairs with people from the mortal world?”
“What happens if I do? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already have learned what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking somewhat resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you do, one of you will die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Aira deity. You must know about Aira, right?”
“Of course I know about Aira. It was because of her story that I was so eager to learn what love is.” Wu’ai looked at Bai Luolan curiously. “I heard that Aira eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Of course it’s true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell for a faithless man. After he attained immortality, he abandoned her. She waited bitterly in the mortal world for a thousand years, and only recently did she awaken to the truth. She has now decided to seek revenge in the immortal realm and kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai’s heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, everything seemed to make sense.
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out now!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable earlier? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, completely unlike someone who had merely been testing the waters before launching a counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she was not just retaliating but had been thoroughly provoked. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and stealthy, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.
If word got out about today’s events—that she couldn’t even defeat the soul forms of two Ghost Kings—she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!
Concealment was their greatest skill. Once they fully retreated into hiding, even ordinary Nether Deities would be unable to detect them.
Naturally, the white-robed female ghost couldn’t find them either.
To lure out Wuqing and Wu’ai, kill them, and keep today’s events completely hidden, the white-robed female ghost calmed herself down after a moment of contemplation. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh and said, “Wuqing, Wu’ai, I know you haven’t gone far. You’re hiding nearby. Let me tell you my real identity. I am Bai Luolan, also known as the Netherworld Thief, wanted throughout the Netherworld. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. I possess countless treasures, and recently, I even stole all the elixirs from the Yellow Spring Ancestor… If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can offer you many, many benefits. But if you refuse, I’ll use a Celestial Escape Talisman to return to the Immortal Realm!”
The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing for any unusual auras. She was even willing to reveal her true name to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most wanted criminal. Almost every department in the Netherworld had been robbed by her, and she had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the stolen items weren’t particularly valuable, their loss was a great insult and provocation to the Netherworld’s various departments. Thus, the Netherworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. However, Bai Luolan’s movements were mysterious and unpredictable, and for centuries, the Netherworld had been powerless against her.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
Wu’ai suddenly materialized as a spirit beside a tree.
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to look at Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, surely you’re willing to cooperate with me?”
Bai Luolan knew that after revealing the truth, cooperation was impossible.
Based on her understanding of the Ghost Kings, they would spare no effort to capture her, even at the cost of their soul energy. This was exactly what she wanted.
If the Ghost Kings chose to hide and escape, she would have no way to capture them.
So, she had to find a way to lure out the soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”
Sure enough, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s doppelgangers attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape and was certain to die.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan suddenly vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai froze motionless! In the next instant, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing. In her hand was a purple gourd, which she used to capture Wuqing’s three soul forms. She also captured Wu’ai’s soul, along with the spectral horse it was attached to. However, when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled instantly. She frantically looked around, thinking her plan was foolproof, only to realize she had been deceived.
Wu’ai appeared on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of panic on your face is quite something! You probably never dreamed you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me tell you, I not only have Keen Eyes but also a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can discern your innermost thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your origins. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, which only the Raksha Locking Nether Emperor possesses. Given your abilities, it’s almost impossible for you to steal from the Locking Nether Emperor. So, the only explanation is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even more unpleasant. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?”
Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you attach your soul to a ghost guard without permission, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts with him.

“A normal woman?!”
Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the essence of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you cannot engage in romantic affairs with living humans?”
“What would happen if I did? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already have learned what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking somewhat resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you did, one of you would die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Airavata. You must know of Airavata, right?”
“Of course I know of Airavata. It was because of her story that I was so eager to learn what love is.” Wu’ai looked at Bai Luolan curiously. “I heard that Airavata eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Of course it’s true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell in love with a faithless man. After he attained immortality, he abandoned her.

The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out now!”
“Weren’t you so formidable just a moment ago? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, her actions appearing not as a deliberate test but rather a full-blown retaliation.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she was not merely counterattacking but had been thoroughly provoked. Having narrowly escaped death moments ago after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful soul forms of the two underworld kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and stealthy, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.
If word got out that she couldn’t even defeat the soul forms of two underworld kings, she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!
They were experts in concealment. Once they fully retreated and hid, even ordinary underworld gods would be unable to detect them.
Naturally, the white-robed female ghost couldn’t find them either.
To lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out, kill them, and keep today’s events completely secret, the white-robed female ghost calmed herself down, her mind racing. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh and said, “Wuqing, Wu’ai, I know you haven’t gone far and are hiding nearby.

The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing any unusual presence. She was even willing to reveal her true name to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the most wanted criminal in the underworld. She had stolen from almost every department of the underworld and had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death.

Thus, the underworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. However, Bai Luolan’s movements were mysterious and unpredictable, and for centuries, the underworld had been unable to capture her.

The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to look at Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, are you willing to cooperate with me?”
Bai Luolan knew that after revealing the truth, the other party would not agree to cooperate.
Based on her understanding of the underworld kings, they would spare no effort, even expending their soul energy, to capture her—which was exactly what she wanted.
Because if the underworld kings chose to hide and escape, she would have no way to catch them.

You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your origins. The talisman you used just now is a Soul-Locking Talisman, which only the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor possesses.

If War Wuji were to find out about this, what consequences do you think you’d face? So, rather than both of us suffering, why not become friends, swear brotherhood, and support each other in the future? Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!”
Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Don’t you know that someone like you cannot engage in romantic affairs with people from the mortal world?”

“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai’s heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt a sense of clarity.
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped walking. “You not only dared to attach your soul to a ghost officer but also kissed a man from the mortal world, intending to commit immoral acts. If Zhan Wuji ever finds out, do you think you’ll survive? Therefore, instead of both of us suffering losses, why not become friends, sworn siblings even? In the future, we can work together, support each other—wouldn’t that be better? Also, I can help you understand love and even help you become a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?”
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat into hiding.

“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out now!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable earlier? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, her actions seeming less like a calculated counterattack and more like a furious outburst. She had been pushed to the brink of death moments ago, forced to use many precious life-saving talismans to narrowly escape. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and mysterious, she stole from everywhere and had almost never failed.

“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled, and she frantically looked around. She had thought her plan was foolproof, never expecting to fall for a trick.
Wu’ai emerged on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of panic on your face is quite entertaining! You probably never imagined you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me tell you, I not only possess Keen Eyes but also a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can perceive your deepest thoughts.

“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, completely unlike someone who had merely been testing the waters before launching a counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she wasn’t just retaliating—she was utterly enraged. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful souls of these two Ghost Kings.

Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!”
Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you can’t engage in romantic affairs with people from the mortal world?”
“What happens if I do? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already know what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you do, one of you will die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Aira deity. You must know of Aira, right?”
“Of course I know of Aira. It was because of her story that I was so eager to learn what love is.” Wu’ai looked curiously at Bai Luolan. “I heard Aira eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”
“Of course it’s true. But you must meet a man truly worthy of your love. Don’t end up like my senior sister, who fell for a faithless man. After he became an immortal, he abandoned her. She waited bitterly in the mortal world for a thousand years, and only recently did she awaken to the truth. She has decided to take revenge in the Immortal Realm and kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, that Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai’s heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, everything became clear to her.
“So what if I did? If you hadn’t interrupted me just now, I would have already known what love feels like.”
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and conceal themselves.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of blue smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out now!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable just a moment ago? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, her actions appearing not as a deliberate test but rather a full-blown counterattack.
Her frenzied demeanor suggested she was not merely retaliating but had been thoroughly provoked. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful souls of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and mysterious, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.
If word got out that she couldn’t even defeat the souls of two Ghost Kings, she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!
They were experts at concealment. Once they fully retreated into hiding, even ordinary Netherworld deities would be unable to detect them.
Naturally, the white-robed female ghost couldn’t find them either.
To lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out, kill them, and keep today’s events completely hidden, the white-robed female ghost calmed herself down, her mind racing. Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh and said, “Wuqing, Wu’ai, I know you haven’t gone far. You’re hiding nearby. Let me tell you my real identity—I am Bai Luolan, also known as the Netherworld Thief, wanted throughout the Netherworld. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. I possess countless treasures, and recently, I even stole all the elixirs from the Yellow Springs Ancestor… If you’re willing to cooperate with me, I can offer you immense benefits. But if you refuse, I’ll use a Celestial Escape Talisman to return to the immortal realm!”
The white-robed female ghost scanned her surroundings, intently sensing for any unusual auras. She was even willing to reveal her true name to lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out to capture her.
Bai Luolan was the Netherworld’s most wanted criminal. Almost every department in the Netherworld had been robbed by her, and she had even secretly altered the Book of Life and Death. Though some of the stolen items weren’t particularly valuable, their theft was a profound insult and provocation to the Netherworld’s various departments. As a result, the Netherworld had placed a hefty bounty on her head. Yet, due to her elusive and unpredictable movements, the Netherworld had been unable to capture her for centuries.
“Are you really Bai Luolan?”
Wu’ai suddenly materialized as a spirit beside a tree.
The white-robed female ghost, Bai Luolan, turned to look at Wu’ai and smiled faintly. “Yes, I am Bai Luolan. Now that I’ve revealed who I am, surely you’re willing to cooperate with me?”
Bai Luolan knew that after revealing the truth, cooperation was impossible.
Based on her understanding of the Ghost Kings, they would spare no effort to capture her, even at the cost of expending their spiritual energy. This was exactly what she wanted.
If the Ghost Kings chose to hide and flee, she would have no chance of capturing them.
So, she had to find a way to lure out the souls of these two Ghost Kings.
“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”
Sure enough, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s doppelgangers attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had nowhere to escape—death was certain.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai suddenly froze! In the next instant, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing. In her hand was a purple gourd, which she used to capture Wuqing’s three soul fragments. She also captured Wu’ai’s soul, along with the spectral horse it was attached to. However, when she reached the tree to capture Wu’ai’s soul, she found it had transformed into a Soul-Dissolving Talisman!
“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled. She frantically looked around, thinking her plan was foolproof, only to realize she had been deceived.
Wu’ai appeared on another tree. “Bai Luolan, that look of panic on your face is quite something! You probably never dreamed you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me tell you—not only do I have Keen Eyes, but I also possess a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can discern your innermost thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your origins. The talisman you used just now was a Soul-Locking Talisman, a spell only the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor possesses. Given your abilities, it’s nearly impossible for you to steal from the Locking Nether Emperor. So, the only explanation is that you are his disciple.”
“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even darker. She slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re dying to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you attach your soul to a ghost guard without permission, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts with him. If War Wuji were to learn of this, what consequences do you think you’d face? So, rather than both of us suffering, why not become friends? We could even swear siblinghood, support each other, and join forces in the future. Besides, I can help you understand love and even make you a normal woman.”
“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the spirit of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you cannot engage in romantic affairs with living humans?”
“What would happen if I did? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already know what love feels like.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking at Bai Luolan with some resentment.
“If you did, one of you would die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Aira deity. You must have heard of Aira, right?”
“Of course I know of Aira. It was because of her story that I was so eager to understand love.” Wu’ai looked at Bai Luolan curiously. “I heard that Aira eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”

“Senior sister? Could your senior sister be the thousand-year female ghost, Lady Bai, whom Shui Miao often thinks about?”
Wu’ai was stunned, feeling as though a sudden revelation had dawned on her.
“If you do it, one of you will die—it will either be him or you,” Bai Luolan shook her head. “Do you think the dual cultivation technique I taught Shui Miao was just for fun? Actually, it was meant to save you—to help you become a real woman through a special heart technique. This technique was created by the Love God of Hell. You should know about the Love God, right?”
The white-robed female ghost did not flee but instead counterattacked, which greatly shocked Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and conceal themselves.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, show yourselves!”
“Weren’t you both so formidable just now? Why are you hiding like cowards?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, her actions appearing not as a deliberate test but rather a full-blown counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she was not merely retaliating but had been thoroughly provoked. Having narrowly escaped death moments earlier after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and stealthy, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.
If word got out that she had been defeated by the soul forms of two Ghost Kings, she would lose all face.
Wuqing and Wu’ai seemed to have vanished!
They were experts at concealment; once they fully retreated into hiding, even ordinary Nether Deities would be unable to detect them.

“Cooperate? Maybe in your next life!”
As expected, Wuqing made his move…
Three of Wuqing’s clones attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at lightning speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had no escape and was doomed.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai suddenly froze! In the next instant, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing, holding a purple gourd in her hand.

“I’ve been tricked!”
Holding the Soul-Dissolving Talisman, Bai Luolan’s face paled, and she frantically looked around. She had thought her plan was foolproof, never expecting to fall for a trick.
Wu’ai appeared on another tree. “Bai Luolan, your panicked expression is quite amusing! You probably never dreamed you’d be exposed by a mere Ghost King, did you? Let me tell you, I not only have Keen Eyes but also a Keen Heart. When I fully activate my Keen Heart, I can discern your innermost thoughts. You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your origins. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, which only the Rakshasa Lock Nether Emperor possesses.

“Wu’ai!”
Bai Luolan’s expression grew even grimmer as she slowly walked toward Wu’ai. “How about we talk?”
“Talk? About what?” Wu’ai sneered coldly. “Right now, you’re desperate to kill me. Do you still have the mind to talk?”
“Of course!”
Bai Luolan stopped in her tracks. “Not only did you attach your soul to a ghost guard without permission, but you also kissed a mortal man and intended to engage in intimate acts with him.

“A normal woman?!” Wu’ai blinked. “What do you mean? Am I not a normal woman?”
“Of course not. Don’t you even understand your own soul?” Bai Luolan frowned. “Wu’ai, you were born from the essence of a Yin Saint. You are fundamentally different from mortals. Didn’t you know that someone like you cannot engage in romantic affairs with living people?”
“What would happen if I did? If you hadn’t interrupted earlier, I would already have learned what love is.”
Wu’ai pursed her lips, looking resentfully at Bai Luolan.
“If you did, one of you would die—either him or you!” Bai Luolan shook her head. “What do you think the dual cultivation method I taught Shui Miao is? It’s actually a special technique to save you, to make you a true woman. This method was created by the Hellish Airavata. You must know of Airavata, right?”
“Of course I know of Airavata. It was because of her story that I was so eager to learn what love is.” Wu’ai looked curiously at Bai Luolan. “I heard that Airavata eventually ascended to immortality with the man she loved. Is that legend true?”

Wu’ai was stunned, feeling as though a sudden revelation had dawned upon her.

She waited in the mortal world for a thousand years, only recently awakening to the truth and deciding to go to the Celestial Realm for revenge, to kill that heartless man.”
“Senior sister! Could it be that your senior sister is the thousand-year-old female ghost Bai Niangniang that Shui Miao keeps in his heart?”
The white-robed female ghost not only didn’t flee but actually counterattacked, which greatly shocked both Wuqing and Wu’ai, causing them to retreat and hide.
The celestial soldiers soon turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
The other ghost guards and spectral horses were instantly killed by the white-robed female ghost using various mystical talismans!
“Wuqing, Wu’ai, come out now!”
“Weren’t you both so powerful just a moment ago? Why are you hiding like cowards now?”
“Come out!”
The white-robed female ghost screamed hysterically, completely unlike someone who had merely been testing the waters before launching a counterattack.
Her hysterical demeanor suggested she wasn’t just retaliating—she was utterly enraged. Having narrowly escaped death after being pushed to the brink, she had used many precious life-saving talismans to barely survive. Now, she was willing to expend even more talismans to destroy the hateful soul forms of these two Ghost Kings.
She had a nickname: the Netherworld Thief. Elusive and mysterious, she stole from everywhere and had almost never been caught.

To lure Wuqing and Wu’ai out, kill them, and keep today’s events completely secret, the white-robed female ghost calmed herself down after a moment of thought. Suddenly, she smirked coldly and said, “Wuqing, Wu’ai, I know you haven’t gone far. You’re hiding nearby.

Three of Wuqing’s duplicates attacked simultaneously from three directions, three black swords thrusting toward Bai Luolan.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred as Wu’ai’s soul, attached to a spectral horse, instantly entangled Bai Luolan’s spirit at top speed.
It seemed Bai Luolan had no escape and was doomed.
But at the critical moment, a black talisman emerged above Bai Luolan’s head. Amid flickering black light, Bai Luolan vanished, and both Wuqing and Wu’ai suddenly froze! In the next instant, Bai Luolan quickly reappeared behind Wuqing. In her hand was a purple gourd, which she used to capture Wuqing’s three soul forms.

You tried to scheme against us, but in the end, I uncovered your origins. The talisman you just used is a Soul-Locking Talisman, which only the Rakshasa Locking Nether Emperor possesses. Given your skills, it’s nearly impossible for you to steal from the Locking Nether Emperor. So, the only explanation is that you are his disciple.”
