Chapter 68

Inside the Jiangchang Detention Center.

Liu Yong, shackled heavily, was confined in a death row cell specifically for capital offenders. He watched the lightning tear through the sky beyond the iron bars, listened to the howling wind and thunder before the storm, and his heart burned like molten lava.

Not long ago, he was a young and admired hero, with a bright and promising future. At a young age, he had already become the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. His life should have been full of vigor and brightness, but because of Ye Feng, because of that damned migrant worker, his life had taken a sudden and drastic turn, transforming him from a people's police officer into a death row inmate.

Such a dramatic rise and fall was too much for Liu Yong to bear.

Facing the impending death sentence, Liu Yong accepted it. His case had become a major social focus, with extremely heinous circumstances. Despite his numerous grievances, he was powerless to change the outcome. However, he harbored deep resentment and dissatisfaction towards Ye Feng. He didn't know what evil had possessed him, leading him to be destroyed by Ye Feng, a nobody he had once not even bothered to look at. This made him extremely unwilling, and he even thought that if a person could really turn into a ghost after death, he would become a fierce ghost to claim Ye Feng's life, and the lives of all those associated with Ye Feng, including the female lawyer Qin Yan, Ye Feng's migrant worker colleagues, and the judge and police who turned him from the plaintiff into the defendant.

Ye Feng had become Liu Yong's greatest obsession at this moment.

Thunder rumbled, and the wind howled even more fiercely, but the heavy rain never came, just like Liu Yong's pent-up resentment, which had nowhere to vent.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed, and Liu Yong suddenly noticed a ghastly pale face outside the window bars, like a fierce ghost, terrifyingly abnormal.

This made Liu Yong's back tingle, his hair stand on end. He thought he was hallucinating, but after rubbing his eyes and looking closely, he saw a face outside the window, a face without expression, ghastly pale.

"Ahh!" Liu Yong instinctively screamed, but before his scream could fade, he heard a "thud," and a hole was forcibly smashed through the outer wall of the cell. The ghastly pale face instantly appeared before him.

A cold chill and a stench of blood hit him, and at this moment, Liu Yong was too terrified to speak.

This ghastly pale face belonged to a high-level ghost slave controlled by the Ghost Wolf using his ghostly senses.

At this moment, the Ghost Wolf, who was in the Liu family's old residence, had already seen this young man born on a yin year, yin month, and yin day through the ghost slave. He was very satisfied. This young man was full of yin energy, young, handsome, healthy, and strong, indeed the most suitable body for him to take human form.

Without any hesitation, the Ghost Wolf controlled the ghost slave to grab Liu Yong and quickly return through the hole.

The huge sound of the wall breaking had already alarmed the police on duty in the detention center. The death row cell was deep within the facility, a key area under strict surveillance, and the ghost slave had to pass through several iron gates. It had descended from the sky without being noticed, but the act of breaking through the wall finally drew the police.

On the night of July 14th, with yin energy and killing intent at their peak, the Ghost Wolf's murderous nature was greatly aroused. These humans, who seemed like ants and weeds to him, posed no threat, even if the police had guns, weapons capable of killing ordinary people with one shot.

But in the face of the Ghost Wolf's most valued super ghost slave, the night-duty police at the detention center had no time to react before their hearts were crushed and their throats torn, dying in a gruesome manner.

In the dark night sky, lightning flashed like arrows, and thunder roared. The long-awaited heavy rain finally poured down.

The rain splashed on the bodies of the more than ten police officers who had died in just a couple of minutes, mixing with their blood, instantly turning the area in front of the death row cell into a blood-soaked ground, looking as if it had rained blood.

The super ghost slave that had grabbed Liu Yong had already disappeared into the dark night.

The night of July 14th in Mingzhu was destined to become a night of blood.

A few police officers who had arrived late from the duty building were completely shocked by the bloody scene in front of the death row cell. After a long period of shock and panic, they finally remembered to urgently report to their superiors.

About ten minutes later, Liu Yong, still in a state of shock and fear, had already been brought back to the Liu family's old residence by the ghost slave and handed over to the excited Ghost Wolf.

Without any hesitation, taking advantage of the strong yin energy after the heavy rain, the Ghost Wolf finally bid farewell to his decades-old ugly, old, and fierce appearance, attaching his soul to Liu Yong's body, instantly absorbing and fusing Liu Yong's original soul. With the rapid circulation of ghost energy, in just a few minutes, he broke through the threshold of his later-stage ghost wolf cultivation, officially entering the later-stage ghost wolf realm.

The Ghost Wolf, now transformed into Liu Yong, sat cross-legged, using the strong yin energy of the night of July 14th to further stabilize his cultivation, ultimately reaching the peak of the later-stage ghost wolf realm.

The Ghost Wolf, now truly in human form, let out a long, excited howl. At this moment, he could finally leave the Liu family's old residence and move freely in the world of ordinary people. And in no time, he could use his ghostly senses to find the boundary between Huaguo and the Secret Realm, returning to the world that truly belonged to him.

But before the Ghost Wolf could enjoy his triumph for long, he suddenly felt a blockage in his chest, unable to catch his breath, and began to cough violently.

He thought it might be because his soul had just taken over the body and had not yet fully adapted, but after some time, the blockage in his chest did not dissipate and even grew stronger.

Upon closer inspection, the Ghost Wolf suddenly realized that this blockage was a massive resentment from the original owner of the body, Liu Yong. Even though Liu Yong's soul had been refined and consumed, this powerful resentment refused to dissipate.

After taking over Liu Yong's body and transforming into a human, the Ghost Wolf inherited some of Liu Yong's memories, and this resentment came from the memories Liu Yong had left in the Ghost Wolf's consciousness. Due to the intense resentment in his life, even though Liu Yong's soul had been scattered, the powerful resentment generated by these memories remained in the Ghost Wolf's consciousness.

If this resentment was not removed, the Ghost Wolf's future cultivation would be difficult to advance. If this resentment did not dissipate, the Ghost Wolf could not truly be considered a person with his own consciousness.

This made the Ghost Wolf extremely frustrated. For ghost cultivators, such a situation was rare, but once it occurred, they could only accept their bad luck. He needed to help the original owner of the body resolve this resentment.

After a moment, the Ghost Wolf, sensing the surroundings with his ghostly senses, let out another angry howl.

It was Ye Feng, again Ye Feng, the source of Liu Yong's unrelenting resentment, that damned Ye Feng...

Since this was the case, it seemed that he and Ye Feng would have to fight to the death. If Ye Feng did not die, even if he returned to the Secret Realm, his cultivation would remain at the peak of the later-stage ghost wolf realm. Only by killing Ye Feng and resolving this resentment could he continue to cultivate and advance his realm.

The frustration of the Ghost Wolf, who had figured everything out, was unimaginable. Looking at the dark night with heavy rain, he knew that this night, he had to fight Ye Feng to the death.

Because of Liu Yong's resentment, he had no choice.

But he still needed to wait. He had to wait for Liu Tianlong and Hao Jian to return. If they could successfully obtain specific information about Ye Feng and the yin female virgin, and know Ye Feng's current location, it would save him the trouble of expending ghost energy to find Ye Feng.

The last time the ghost slave split and fought Ye Feng, he had indeed collected some of Ye Feng's scent and could use ghost energy and ghostly senses to track Ye Feng.

But in a vast sea of millions of people, this was extremely difficult.

About half an hour later, Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan finally returned.

Suddenly seeing Liu Yong appear in the old residence and the disappearance of Master Ghost Wolf, Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan were greatly surprised.

But the Ghost Wolf could not afford to let them be surprised. Since he needed to use living people to refine souls and improve his cultivation after taking human form, and there were two living people right in front of him, he decided to use them for his first soul refinement.

As for the information they had gathered about Ye Feng, the Ghost Wolf did not need to hear it from them. He could use the soul-searching technique to extract their memories.

The soul-searching technique was a special skill of ghost cultivators, which could only be used when one's cultivation reached the peak of the later-stage ghost wolf realm.

And the Ghost Wolf had just reached the peak of the later-stage ghost wolf realm.

Without waiting for Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan to ask any questions, the Ghost Wolf extended his hands, quickly pressing them on the top of their heads, and used ghost energy to perform the soul-searching technique, instantly extracting their recent memories.

The Ghost Wolf's goal was clear. He only needed to know the memories of the two men regarding their recent investigation of Ye Feng. He had no interest in their entire life memories.

Through their consciousness, the Ghost Wolf learned that the two men had indeed put in a lot of effort, checking Ye Feng's recent call records and contacts, and found that Ye Feng had been in touch with a woman named Qin Yan and two men named Zhu Zi and Du Lijun.

Qin Yan was a female lawyer with her own law firm, and Zhu Zi and Du Lijun were Ye Feng's former colleagues. Finding any one of these three people would lead to Ye Feng's whereabouts.

After learning from Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan's consciousness that Zhu Zi and Du Lijun were at a villa construction site, the Ghost Wolf used his ghost energy to completely refine their souls.

Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan, destined to end their lives tragically, were thus turned into empty shells and then burned to ashes by the ghost fire summoned by the Ghost Wolf.
