Lin Che's soul followed all the way.

It looked like it was aimless, but only he could see the lingering aura.

After flying through the mud for another five miles, he finally saw not thick mud but a deep well.

His soul emerged from the bottom of the well, slowly floated up in the cold water, and suddenly reached the wellhead.

The little thief's soul escaped from here.

Standing at the mouth of the well, Lin Che looked around. With the help of the powerful Yuanshen secret method of "Heavenly Secret Soul Guiding Mirror", Lin Che once again discovered the other party's residual breath.

This time, the opponent fled into the air.

"I want to see where you, little thief, can escape to."

Lin Che's soul also flew into the air, chasing after it.

Soon, he passed by a ruined area, which was the remains of the fire from his previous battle with the divine python. Because of the fierce battle, the strong and murderous fighting spirit was still there.

Lin Che could also clearly see that the little thief's soul had made a big detour and avoided these remaining fighting intentions.

This proves one thing, that the little thief's soul is already very weak.

The other party is instinctively afraid of this fighting spirit.

In this case, Lin Che felt even more confident.

Just in case, he would not risk his soul and had to bring his physical body along.

Swish!

His soul flashed and returned to his body in the underground palace.

At this time, Yan Musk was already in the underground palace with many guards loading these gold, silver and jewelry. Lin Che did not interfere too much. He just needed to take a look later.

"Xiaodian, follow me!"

Lin Che dropped a few words and vanished into thin air.

The next second, his physical body appeared beside the wellhead. He first took out a cold flame from his Cangtian bag and lit it, and a burst of deep blue smoke rose up.

This is to inform Yu Huadian of his location.

Without waiting for Yu Huadian to come over, Lin Che once again left his body and began to chase the soul of the little thief.

We were tracking them in the air and would soon be leaving Youdu City.

Lin Che did the same thing, and his soul returned to his body again. At this time, Yu Huadian was already silently guarding beside him.

"Take my body and fly forward!"

This time, Lin Che did not return to his physical body immediately.

His "Heavenly Secret Soul Guiding Mirror" is very special and needs to be used in the state of soul, so he simply lets Yu Huadian carry his physical body, while he himself remains in the state of soul and continues tracking.

The next scene was a bit strange.

Yu Huadian carried Lin Che's body on his back and flew in the air. When the other guards saw this, they followed him.

After leaving Youdu, Lin Che quickly discovered that the remaining spiritual aura of the little thief had become even more pronounced.

This proves that the other party passed by here not long ago.

We continued flying forward and arrived at a dense forest. After crossing the hill, we found a mass grave on the other side.

"Right here!"

Lin Che glanced around and found that there was a lot of scattered spiritual energy floating around.

Yu Huadian heard Lin Che's voice transmission and understood what was going on. He waved his hand and ordered all the guards to disperse and surround the mass grave first.

"This way—"

Lin Che glanced around and discovered that there was actually a faint golden aura rising into the air in this mass grave.

His soul flashed and appeared next to the golden aura.

Suddenly, he saw a weak soul lying on its side in a small pit, surrounded by bottles and jars for worship.

This spirit statue looked very weak and very hungry. Its nose was sniffing at a small jar frantically, making a squeaking sound, clearly swallowing the special smell in the jar.

Lin Che's first thought upon seeing this was that a ghost was eating incense. Furthermore, the ghost was so engrossed in the food that he hadn't even noticed him approaching.

Now that we've caught up, there's no need to wait any longer.

Lin Che's soul also burst out with a powerful force, kicking the small jar away.

The soul was obviously startled and suddenly looked up at Lin Che.

"Still eating?"

Lin Che reached out and poked the other person's forehead, saying in a teasing tone, "I'm here to take you in!!"

The other party's soul trembled all over, and a familiar outline appeared on the blurry face. It was Jiang Yanshu who had escaped before.

"ah--"

He screamed and immediately jumped into the air, trying to escape.

But Lin Che was well prepared and directly used the "Guixu Zhushen Talisman", which can directly kill the Yuanshen.

Boom!!

With a single hand, he grabbed Jiang Yanshu who was about to escape in mid-air.

“Ahhh!! Let me go, don’t kill me…Ah!!”

Jiang Yanshu struggled frantically, but in Lin Che's hands, he was like a little chick and there was no way he could escape.

However, the guards outside were horrified by what they saw.

Coming to this mass grave was already eerie and scary enough, but a sudden wind blew up in the middle, and many things in the mass grave made a rattling sound and scattered all around.

It was as if... there was an invisible person struggling frantically on the spot.

This is too scary.

"Lin Che, we are brothers who have shared weal and woe... Please don't kill me, give me a chance to live. I still have use, really, please don't kill me..."

"If you were truly afraid of death, you would have fled Yanyun long ago. But you dared to sneak into the underground palace when I opened it. It seems that not only are you not afraid of death, but you are also thinking about revenge. Am I right?"

Killing intent flashed in Lin Che's eyes. If he didn't kill Jiang Yanshu, he wouldn't even be able to control the Emperor's legacy.

If Jiang Yanshu were released today, what if this wandering ghost could truly live for hundreds of years? Would the Emperor's legacy be wasted?

Lin Che exerted force with his palm, and Jiang Yanshu immediately let out a scream.

"I really don't dare. You're trying to kill me, aren't you afraid of retribution? You're a great scholar, but if you kill me, aren't you afraid that your righteous spirit will dissipate?"

"Lin Che, I'll do whatever you say. Please don't kill me, please don't kill me."

Lin Che remained silent and took the opportunity to ask, "Tell me, why did you risk returning to the underground palace? Can you still take away the money inside? What's your purpose?"

"I, I just want to find out if there's any soul-nourishing demon essence in the underground palace. I need to absorb some demon essence, that's all. If this continues and my soul is sucked away, I'll be completely destroyed."

Lin Che immediately grasped the key information.

When he had been talking to Jiang Yanshu before, he had asked Jiang Yanshu why he was so keen on pursuing immortality. At that time, Jiang Yanshu did not give a direct answer.

And now, Jiang Yanshu's soul was emitting golden light, and he actually used the word "suck away".

Lin Che almost reflexively thought that there must be some mystery here.

"Who sucked away your soul?"
