Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Retrieving Souls

The moonlight was dim, and the night wind was chilly. Under the watchful eyes of Fu Tianyu and his companions, the apparition suddenly stood still a few steps away from the old jujube tree. However, it did not enter the range of the binding spirit array that Fu Tianyu had set up.

"Did he sense something?" Fu Tianyu thought to himself, feeling uneasy. According to Zhang Fangyang, the jujube tree in front was where the spirit creature usually stayed, and the view there was the best.

The spirit creature seemed to have truly sensed something. Suddenly, it took a few steps forward, and its transparent body tested the eyesight of Fu Tianyu and his companions. In the blink of an eye, it became impossible to see clearly.

"You should go in, I'll warn Fa Fei." Fu Tianyu began to curse. Did the spirit creature not know that time was precious?

The Iron Stiffener and Tang San Dao and others' bodies trembled slightly, making Fu Tianyu feel contemptuous. It was just a spirit creature, wasn't it?

"Hey, that thing is gone." The Iron Stiffener suddenly muttered in a low voice.

Fu Tianyu was stunned. He had been absent-minded for a moment, and now it had run away?

After focusing his eyes, he realized it was no longer near the jujube tree.

"I warn Fa Fei, it ran off there." Fu Tianyu whispered to the others behind him. They felt the need to look around and search.

"Chirp chirp chirp." Suddenly, a trembling voice came from behind. Fu Tianyu turned his head and saw that Left Dazhuang was pointing with his finger, his teeth trembling up and down.

"In... In... Here."

Fu Tianyu followed the direction that Left Dazhuang pointed at and immediately saw the spirit creature. It was standing straightly beside them, seemingly very interested in observing them.

Only then did Fu Tianyu see the full appearance of the spirit creature. It was actually a middle-aged man with a somewhat aged appearance. It seemed to have been like this before death. However, this spirit creature could not speak and was just a low-level spirit.

"Ah." The Iron Stiffener and Tang San Dao and Luo Si Feng and others also noticed that the spirit creature was standing right beside them. They couldn't help but shout. Fu Tianyu had no time to stop them.

Seeing that it had been exposed, Fu Tianyu stood up and formed a confrontation with the spirit creature. The others, Tang San Dao and others, were very unchivalrous and repeatedly waved their hands, given their current strength, they couldn't pose a threat to the spirit creature.

Fu Tianyu actually was also feeling relieved in his heart, but the position he was standing in was also the one he had set up as a precaution to prevent any unexpected situations. So long as he didn't leave this binding spirit array, there wouldn't be any problems.

"I said, buddy, you're not human, not ghost, why did you come out at three o'clock in the morning? Don't you fear being eaten by wolves?"

The others' mouths dropped immediately. Fu Tianyu's,.

The spirit creature seemed to be able to understand his words. It raised its arm and pointed at him. But Fu Tianyu didn't know what it meant.

"What do you mean? You think you can just point with one finger? Ah, you should do a two-finger gesture instead. You died and didn't go to reincarnation but ended up in this state. Your grandma doesn't care for you and your grandfather doesn't love you. How could you still be so shameless to scare people? Are you ashamed, or should I be your guide and come out to die in the bright sunlight during a sunny day?"

Fu Tianyu looked very distressed, as if he saw a weak and unaccomplished successor, making him feel heartbroken.

The spirit creature suddenly burst into rage. The formation of a spirit creature wasn't that simple. Generally, only souls with a certain intensity of spiritual power and unwilling to die could become a spirit creature. Otherwise, they would reincarnate. Of course, this was the common belief of the people. Who knows if they could reincarnate or not.

So, the spirit creature's formation had a strong unwillingness, making it hostile towards humans and others. Now that this spirit creature had been ridiculed by Fu Tianyu, how could it withstand the anger?

The lower-level spirit creatures have little offensive power and no physical attack capability. Therefore, Fu Tianyu wasn't worried. Such low-level spirit creatures can only use their spiritual power to disturb people's souls, causing hallucinations and leading people to make wrong judgments and resulting in death. This, Fu Tianyu had already consulted the Ghost King about before.

Having the Ghost King on his body, since Fu Tianyu wanted to find food for him, he naturally needed to have a clear understanding of this unique food. So now, he wasn't afraid of this spirit creature at all.

With the Yang Fire within him, if it was still disturbed by the spirit power of the spirit creature, he could smash the ball to death.

The spirit creature, upon being provoked by Fu Tianyu, rushed towards him as if wanting to attach itself to him. Attachment is the most important ability of low-level spirit creatures to deal with people. Of course, it depends on which body it attaches to.

With Fu Tianyu's pure Yang body, even if it were as strong as the Ghost King, attaching to it would definitely be doomed. This body is not something that can be randomly attached to.

Of course, now this spirit creature has no chance to attach. The spirit creature that just rushed over showed an extremely painful expression. Fu Tianyu was standing in the Binding Spirit Array. His attack brought him into the array as well.

The Binding Spirit Array, which was originally completely silent, emitted connected light threads after the spirit creature rushed over, binding the spirit creature. The Binding Spirit Array is indeed using binding.

Fu Tianyu watched the spirit creature that had rushed in front of him with great interest. Now this spirit creature was completely motionless and even in great pain, with a distorted expression.

For spirit creatures, Fu Tianyu had seen them before, but whether it was the Snake Spirit or the previous spirit creature, they were quickly digested by the Ghost King. Fu Tianyu's close observation of the spirit creature was the first time for him.

The virtual form, the transparent body, with the decorations from life, this is the spirit creature.

Tang Sanzuo and Tie Lunzi saw that the spirit creature was really bound by Fu Tianyu and finally got the courage to approach. They didn't know that just now they had stepped out of the Binding Spirit Array. If the spirit creature was to attack them, perhaps it would have already taken over their bodies.

"Brother Fu, this is the spirit creature?" Tang Sanzuo asked with a forced bravado, his voice still shaking a little.

"Correct. Don't you want to touch it?" Fu Tianyu smiled, as if this was something interesting.

Tang Sanzuo immediately withdrew his hand. Can this thing be touched at will?

The others like Luo Si Feng and others were very curious and turned around to circle the spirit creature several times, examining it thoroughly. Now they finally believed that Fu Tianyu could really capture the spirit.

"Brother Fu, how should we deal with this spirit creature now? We can't just let him stand here, it's too terrifying." Luo Si Feng asked. Now in their eyes, Fu Tianyu had undoubtedly become a professional.

Those who had some opinions about Fu Tianyu before, now have all wisely kept their mouths shut. People like Zhang Fangyang, who just arrived not long ago, previously thought that Fu Tianyu's strength was not so impressive and didn't take it seriously. But now that Fu Tianyu has the ability to capture the spirit creature, they have some fear in their hearts towards Fu Tianyu.

"Hey, this is a good thing." Fu Tianyu, regardless of whether the others would be frightened or not, placed his right hand on the head of the spirit creature. A colorful aura spread from Fu Tianyu's hand, and then the spirit creature kept shrinking and entered Fu Tianyu's hand.

Tang Sanzhu and Luo Si Feng and others opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with shock. They had no idea what had happened.

"Brother Fu... Brother Fu... Brother Fu, that spirit creature, was... was taken by... by you?" Tang Sanzhu gritted his teeth and pointed at Fu Tianyu's tightly clenched right hand, as if the spirit creature in his hand was exactly that one.

Fu Tianyu naturally wouldn't tell them the truth. Usually, his right hand was half-clenched, and no one could tell that there was anything in the palm of his hand. So Tang Sanzhu and others naturally didn't know that there was a ghost king living in Fu Tianyu's right hand.

However, since they were asked, Fu Tianyu had to explain to them anyway. Otherwise, under the guidance of curiosity, it would be very troublesome.

"That spirit creature was indeed taken by me, Boss Tang, everyone. What you saw today, you must keep secret from me. Otherwise, if there is a powerful spirit creature coming to look for me, the unlucky one won't be just me alone." Fu Tianyu said half-truthfully.

Tang Sanzhu and others didn't hear how Fu Tianyu took the spirit creature, but everyone had their own secrets. They didn't dare to ask more and just looked at Fu Tianyu with more respect.

At least they had never heard of anyone being able to capture a spirit creature so easily.

With a good start, Fu Tianyu and his team still had to go to other places where binding spirit arrays were set up. After all, there were more than one spirit creature appearing in this area.

In the palm of Fu Tianyu's right hand, the ghost king was chewing and stirring. Fu Tianyu could feel the muscles in his palm constantly moving. Although he was well-prepared and had experienced it before, his heart still felt a bit uncomfortable.

This guy's eating could make Fu Tianyu feel sick.

"Old Ghost, how does it taste? Let me give you two more to see if it's okay?" Fu Tianyu, although feeling uncomfortable in his heart, still had to explain clearly since it was a deal.

Before, he didn't know if the binding spirit array taught by the ghost king was effective. Now that it had been proven, then there had to be a price. Otherwise, if the ghost king changed his mind, he would have to go to someone else for help.

"Quaku, kid, you have a good heart. I feel there should be four more spirit creatures nearby. You brought them all here, so I'll tell you how to speed up the cultivation of the Yang Fire. As for that sword technique, well, it's free for you." The ghost king said while stirring his mouth.

"You'll be so kind?" Fu Tianyu felt something was wrong. This old ghost was not the kind to keep his word.

"Ih, rare chance to be kind and being treated like horse liver and lungs. If you don't offer for free, then okay, give me ten or eight more spirit creatures to eat. If I can't eat them, I won't be dried and left here."

Fu Tianyu staggered forward. This old ghost, what kind of ghost is this? He really thinks the spirit creatures are like his pork and is drying and leaving them here.

"Sure, free is better. You know my current strength. When facing any powerful master, I'll be done for. But old ghost, you live and stay in my place, don't you have to pay rent? There are no such stingy ghosts." Fu Tianyu joked.

The ghost king was now trapped in his hand and was exactly living in his place.

"I'll spray a face full of ghost fire on you. You still have the nerve to say that? Or you can kick me out. This crappy place, I don't even want to live in it." The Demon King couldn't help but want to devour Fu Tianyu. Acting foolishly to gain an advantage, the mighty Demon King was trapped in someone else's hands. Who would he turn to cry to?

"Ha ha ha." Fu Tianyu chuckled twice and ignored the Demon King no longer.

When the group arrived at the next location, they found that the spirit creatures here had been trapped in the binding spirit array, tied up tightly. This saved them from waiting, and the sentry posts here had already been completely withdrawn, and no one else had witnessed it.

Fu Tianyu took the lead, going forward and putting the spirit creatures into the Soul-Defeating Pearl. The old Demon naturally started eating again.

"Same body, different fate, old Demon, I capture the spirit creatures for you to enjoy, you do it." Fu Tianyu muttered to himself a few words in his heart, then headed for the next location.

After a whole night of, Fu Tianyu had collected five spirit creatures in succession, making the Three-Blade Swordsmen and others marvel. The spirit creatures around here had already been completed by him, about eight or nine of them.

"Master Zhang, there are still spirit creatures. Let's destroy him." After collecting the last spirit creature in the binding spirit array, Fu Tianyu patted Zhang Fangyang's shoulder and grinned.

Zhang Fangyang quickly moved aside. Fu Tianyu, for some reason, actually used his right hand to pat his shoulder. This hand, he had watched as the five spirit creatures were put into the Pearl, and it was terrifying.

"No, no more. As we previously determined, there are only these five spirit creatures. Or, or Deputy Boss Fu, you can walk around your area." Zhang Fangyang looked at Fu Tianyu's right hand in fear, with an expression of worrying that the spirit creatures would rush out.
