The Wu Ghost Secret Realm was empty.
Progenitor Tingyou had killed everyone during his possession attempt, and then the Golden Core Sword Qi descended, smashing him to pieces.
Now, Lü Yang was the only one left in the Wu Ghost Secret Realm.
However, the Golden Core Sword Qi did not strike again. Instead, it returned to the sky above the Secret Realm, where it lay dormant, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi as if it would never dissipate.
Yet Lü Yang's expression didn't relax in the slightest. It grew extremely grave, for he could clearly feel that one of his karmic links was now locked onto by the Sword Qi. In other words, if the Sword Qi were to erupt, it could decapitate him with a single strike, even from thousands of miles away!
'Is it because I took the Wu Ghost Sect's inheritance?'
Lü Yang glanced at the remnants of Progenitor Tingyou's Soul, which he had collected. If he abandoned these soul fragments, he might be able to sever the karmic link to the Sword Qi.
