He lunged desperately towards the man, trying to snatch the soul from his grasp. The man, who called himself the Envoy of the Underworld, didn't move. Qiu Yue's charge passed right through him, unable to touch him at all.
"What's going on? My lord..." Qiu Yue looked at the other party in disbelief, and said even more frantically, "Give it back to me, give it back to me!"
