A piercing scream accompanied by thick black smoke billowing from the water.

A moment later, the river returned to calm.

A emaciated corpse, cut in two, that looked like a human but also like a monkey, floated up.

The reason I say "seems" is because this thing was burned so black that its original appearance is no longer visible.

But behind it, dragged a burnt, curled-up tail.

Xu An grabbed the tail, preparing to throw the thing onto the bridge to show everyone.

But to everyone's surprise, when they lifted it, the tail fell off.

Xu An stared blankly at the teardrop-shaped metal lump at the base of the fallen tail for a long while.

"Depend on……"

"Girl, you were quite the ladies' man in your lifetime!"

"It's one thing how they were while they were alive, but why are they still causing such a commotion after they're dead?"

Xu An disgustedly threw the thing into the water, and then quickly went ashore.

"Dead?"

"What is it?"

Gu Ning asked nervously.

"Yeah, he's dead."

"It's...it's a female corpse."

"Just as Sister Nu said, it has gathered too much evil energy, and with the abundant spiritual energy, it has become a force to be reckoned with."

"If this thing is allowed to cultivate for several more decades, I'm afraid..."

"We really can't do anything about it hiding in the water!"

Xu Andao.

On the bridge, the water condensed again, transforming into the two children.

The two children looked at Xu An with fear, then quickly ran towards Zhang Lingxuan and Li Xingxuan.

He made a series of babbling gestures, seemingly concerned about whether Zhang Lingxuan and the others were injured.

"The bridge is broken, and it will probably collapse soon."

"You two... you don't need to be confined here anymore, you can leave."

"Let's leave, although I don't even know if reincarnation even exists."

"You're free now, just don't cause trouble for others in the future."

Xu An glanced at the two little ones and said calmly.

The two little ones gestured for a while, then disappeared.

After saying that, Xu An silently looked into the darkness at the bridgehead, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"You all went to such lengths to lure out the water ghost, it's truly..."

"Thank you all for your hard work!"
