Jiang Yuan was not surprised by this.
Immortals are beings recognized by the Heavenly Dao. As long as their immortal destiny is not overthrown, they can... live forever.
Calling it immortality is a bit of an exaggeration; it should be described as being difficult to kill.
Ordinary methods simply cannot kill an immortal.
To kill an immortal, either the immortal must be willing, or you must be able to kill them in one strike.
Otherwise, you'll end up like this monster in front of you; you might damage its skin, but it will grow back.
As the monster watched its fingernails and hair grow back, a smile curved its eyes, as if it were pleased.
It was also telling Jiang Yuan that it was also an immortal, and that they were the same kind of beings.
Jiang Yuan ignored his gaze, made a hand seal, and bound the Soul-Locking Chain to it. Soul fire burned from the end she was holding towards the direction of the monster.
The monster roared and easily broke free of the Soul-Locking Chains.
but--
That was just a smokescreen.
The moment the Soul-Locking Chain broke, silver threads appeared all around him, spreading out like a spider web and tightly wrapping around his arms and body. It was like a cocoon, with silver threads covering his entire body.
In an instant, the silver threads tightened, cutting through the monster's skin like sharp knives, and black blood dripped down the silver threads.
The monster's disdain vanished, and it stared in surprise at the silver thread before it.
Following the silver thread, one can see that its end connects to the Yama's Pen in Jiang Yuan's hand.
The monster didn't hesitate much. It seemed to feel no pain as it let the silver threads pass through and penetrate its skin.
When the silver thread passes through, it cuts off its arm.
Bang--
Those arms, resembling lotus roots, fell to the ground.
But in the instant it fell, new arms grew.
It was exactly the same as his previous arm.
but--
When it looked up, wanting to show off to Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan was no longer there.
"I'm here." Jiang Yuan's cold voice rang out from behind.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a golden light shot towards the monster's back.
The monster staggered forward, then turned around and looked at Jiang Yuan in front of it.
"Immortal... Immortal..." the monster stammered, as if it could only utter this one word.
Its greed and desire grew stronger and stronger.
A very powerful immortal.
It's even stronger than it is now.
Seeing that the other party was unrepentant, Jiang Yuan didn't bother to say anything more.
It swept past like a fleeting shadow, heading straight for the other party.
Her attack speed increased, and the monster had intended to withstand Jiang Yuan's attack head-on.
But when the golden light struck it, the monster sensed something was wrong.
It was very uncomfortable, as if something was about to burst out of my body.
Jiang Yuan smiled, but her smile was indifferent and cold.
With a flick of her pen, the Book of Life and Death she held in her other hand glowed, and rows of names seemed to come alive, floating out of the book.
The names, gleaming with golden light, flew towards the monster like runes, swirling around it.
"Go back!"
The single word, powerful and resonant, echoed around and clearly reached the monster's ears.
The souls that had been swallowed by the monster seemed to hear a call and burst out, passing right through the monster's flesh.
Find your own name among the rows of names in front of you, and as your soul flies over, its name will be affixed to your soul.
After a wisp of soul rushed out, the souls that it had eaten but had not yet digested also rushed out like swarms of bees.
The monster's belly deflated like a punctured balloon, gradually shrinking and shrinking.
Those souls seemed to still be conscious, and as if guided by something, they all drifted toward their own names.
After the names were pasted onto their souls, the souls gradually regained consciousness. Some remembered how they died, while others remembered how they got there. When they saw the monster, their eyes were filled with fear.
"Ah—" the monster screamed, as if it would feel pain if its soul were to be pulled out of its body. Its face was contorted and its screams echoed around it.
However, its face was already a mess, so no matter how distorted it was, it was still the same; the only thing that could be seen was anger in its eyes.
The monster glared angrily at Jiang Yuan, panting heavily, and then roared as it lunged at her.
It wasn't very good at talking, and its shouts sounded like the fury of a wild beast.
Its figure was like a ghost, hiding in the darkness and suddenly appearing, getting closer and closer to Jiang Yuan each time it appeared.
"Little pen, remember this, this is called being enraged out of shame." Jiang Yuan loosened her grip, and the Yama Pen transformed into a fair-skinned elf, as white as snow.
Yama's Pen nodded seriously, then observed the place where the monster had appeared a few seconds earlier, searching for its trail.
The other party has an ethereal aura, unlike the people they've encountered before; they should be cautious.
The opponent is a being comparable to the Ghost King, but stronger than the Ghost King!
"These souls have been inside that monster for too long, and their instability means they could dissipate at any time."
"Little Brush, take them to the underworld and hand them over to Night Wanderer. He knows what to do."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, she opened the gates of the underworld for the Yama's Pen.
Once you cross this gate, you can return to the underworld.
The Black and White Impermanence are responsible for dealing with vengeful ghosts; as for their nighttime wanderings...
Although he was going to pick up Jiang Yichen, judging from the timeline, Jiang Yichen should have been dead for a short period of time.
Night Tour is someone who dislikes being late and is always on time; she would rather arrive early than be late.
He must have been waiting for Jiang Yichen before he died.
At the very moment Jiang Yichen closed his eyes and breathed his last, he must have taken his soul to the underworld.
He couldn't let Jiang Yichen die too quickly, nor could he spare him from suffering.
Based on her understanding of Night Tours, she would definitely start by mentally tormenting Jiang Yichen, so she would first take him to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer.
He must be bored out of his mind to go out at night now, we need to find him something to do.
Moreover, it is likely that only those who wander at night know how to handle and arrange these souls.
Not all of these souls are good souls.
Some girls are jealous of their best friends, so they trick their friends into coming here and have others stake out the place beforehand, hoping that the other party will attack their best friend and ruin her reputation.
Little did they know, this place wasn't just inhabited by ghosts, but also by monsters.
They had barely stepped inside, and before those people could even attack each other's best friends, several of them died at the hands of the vengeful ghosts and the monster.
Some people even bought insurance for their partners, intending to kill them to collect the insurance money.
When it comes to murder, you definitely need to choose a secluded place.
The Zhang family building is not only remote, but people have also gone missing there, and the police have yet to find any clues or locate the missing persons.
So they brought people here, thinking they would kill them, dispose of the body, and then claim a large sum of compensation from the insurance company under the pretext of an accident.
In short, many of these souls harbor ulterior motives.
These souls are handed over to the Night Wanderer, and with the help of the King of Hell's pen, the Night Wanderer has its own way of distinguishing which ones can be reincarnated and which ones need to atone for their sins.
