Blake nodded, “And it’s someone very powerful making Pablo didn’t want to tell Lilly about this person before his departure.”
Anthony understood, “He’s worried that Lilly will act impulsively and go after that person.”
Blake agreed and added, “He’s even more afraid that Lilly will confront that person directly because he didn’t even match Lilly’s ability.”
Lisa clenched her teeth, “Who is it…? Let me see him!!”
Blake had already figured out who that person was.
“Lilly, think about how your master was injured last time.”
After Lilly was injured by the golden energy, she went to the underworld but unfortunately she returned heavily injured. He was injured by the King of Cities.
This time, he went to the underworld again to find the Soul Flower for healing, but he returned in an even more miserable state. He also encountered the King of Cities.
So, this time, it was most likely the King of Cities as well.
Lilly didn’t have her father’s meticulous analysis skills, but when her father mentioned it, she immediately thought of a person based on her intuition.
“Daddy, you mean that person is the King of Cities!” she exclaimed.
Blake nodded, “Yes.”
“Your daddy wants to protect you, but not telling you doesn’t necessarily mean he can protect you.”
“Now that you know, you have to understand that the King of Cities is not someone you can easily deal with. He is treacherous, cunning, and most importantly, extremely powerful. He has his own support to break the rules and intervene. If you encounter him, you must not act recklessly for revenge. Instead, you must escape at any cost.”
Lilly nodded, “Daddy told me I should know that the person is very dangerous and she should run away immediately if she encounters him.”
Blake acknowledged her response.
If she didn’t know the danger, she might think that the rules would restrict him and miss the opportunity to escape.
Knowing the danger, she would understand that this person is shameless, but if she truly encounters him, she should run away quickly.
“Remember that,” Lilly said, looking down at the bottle in her hand, tightly gripping it.
Her father was worried that she would not listen… but she had listened. Would her father come back?
Blake looked at Lilli and sighed inwardly.
He continued, “Now that we know the fundamental reason for our failure, let’s talk about Leslie.”
“This person values his own life greatly. He has several hiding places. Someone who values their life will definitely have means to protect it. For example, how he can revive himself after death.” Blake nodded, “And it’s someone very powerful making Pablo didn’t want to tell Lilly about this person before his departure.”
Anthony frowned and seemed a bit disjointed.
A normal person would be afraid of death.

A normal person would be afraid of death.
Josh questioned as well, “Who would think about how to revive themselves after they die? This isn’t a game…”
Blake affirmed, “Leslie definitely would. He fears death. Moreover, as someone who practices spiritual ‘yang’ cultivation, he relies on the belief gathered from people’s prayers to enhance his strength, yet he also captures and nurtures ghosts.”
Yin and yang are contradictory, so it is somewhat paradoxical.
Josh still didn’t understand, “But he’s a priest; they’re supposed to capture ghosts, right?”
Blake shook his head, “Priests capture ghosts to eliminate them. The tradition doesn’t keep ghosts.”
Josh continued to inquire, “But in most scenes, Master’s responsibility was to catch zombies. Isn’t that ‘keeping’ them?”
Blake still shook his head, “Master also mentioned that ghosts are inauspicious beings, embodying poverty, sorrow, calamity, shame, cruelty, foulness, pain, and death. It’s not good to be involved with them. But zombies are not ghosts. Ghosts are formless and invisible, while zombies are different. Zombies can be seen; they belong to a ‘living being.'”
“So, Leslie is not the Hell Ruler, and he must know that ghosts cannot be kept. According to the normal spiritual practice, when a ghost is captured, it should be eliminated. But he keeps them.”
“It indicates that ghosts must have a more important role for him.”
For Leslie, the most important thing is his life.
The more powerful a person is, the more they value their life because they have achieved so much, and if they die, everything they have done would be in vain. So he can’t die.
“So he keeps ghosts, either for healing purposes or for other uses.”
Earning money is just a side benefit; the essential goal must be to enhance the aura of the ghosts.
Upon hearing this, Layton thought of something and immediately took out a book, “This book fell off him.”
He carries it with him, surely to have it handy for finding answers at any time of escape.
“When encountering something unknown… he flips through the book for answers,” said, “The Utmost Secret of Spiritual Path?”
There is the path of immortals, the path of humans, but this is the first time he has encountered the path of ghosts.
Blake briefly skimmed through it and whispered, “Indeed, there’s a method to revive ghosts.”
Leslie did consider how to resurrect himself as a ghost. The first step is to make his own soul stronger, so the ghosts he keeps are meant for his absorption after death.
The book describes how to raise ghosts, how to absorb them, and how to use them to enhance one’s own power…
Blake sneered, “He learned quite a variety so he’s not afraid of going astray.”
Lilly said, “Daddy, he doesn’t have a soul anymore, so he can’t be resurrected.”
Blake nodded, “Yes, he prepared for nothing.”
Lilly felt disappointed, “Then what about Master? Can we make use of ghosts to bring him back?”
Blake happened to see a passage in the book that made his heart sink even more, “I’m afraid not. Your Master is not a complete soul right now. Feeding him with captured ghosts might end up feeding him to the ghosts…”
So, we still need to find a way to condense his soul.
Lilly asked again, “What about the Soul Flower? Can we make use of it?”
Blake flipped through the book while saying, “Not sure… wait, it’s written here.”novelxo.com fast update
This book was ancient; the pages were almost rotten, and it was written in traditional characters.
Blake handled it with care and read slowly.
“The Soul Flower can nourish and strengthen the soul, the effect of condensing the soul is moderate, but it’s better than nothing in desperate times.”
A few lines of text with a depiction of a flower beside it, describing its shape.
“Soul Flowers can be either red or purple, with the purple being the core among them. It is said that one in every ten valleys may have a chance of finding a purple Soul Blossom, which is more powerful than the red one.”
Lilly had a spark of excitement in her heart and suddenly exclaimed, ‘That’s right, there are purple and red ones! Daddy picked a purple one last time!’
Lilli anxiously said, ‘Daddy, please check again if there are any soul-condensing flowers.’
She squeezed into her daddy’s embrace, staring at the book.
However, she could not understand any of the characters.
Lilly felt frustrated; she had just started kindergarten and couldn’t read.
Previously, she had always thought that being skilled at catching ghosts was enough. This was the first time Lilly experienced the bitterness of lack of illiteracy.
From now on, she vowed to study hard!
Amid Lilly’s random thoughts, Blake finally found another record about Soul-Condensing Flowers…
As he skimmed through the book, his facial expression gradually changed, and he pursed his lips in silence.
