Chapter 993: Chapter 39: Accepting Disciples Chapter 993: Chapter 39: Accepting Disciples âNew soul?â
Wang Ba was startled and immediately looked toward Ji Lan.
But what he saw was Ji Lan with eyes full of astonishment and suspicion.
With a thought, he quickly walked over.
Through the crystal coffin, he could clearly see that the girl was still lying quietly, as if asleep.
But he could also feel clearly that her breath had vanished, and although her bodyâs vital energy was still present, it was hollow and empty, giving a sense of withering.
Wang Ba couldnât help but look toward Li Yingfu:
âEnforcer Li, are you sure?â
Li Yingfu didnât explain and said solemnly:
âRight Enforcer, would it be convenient to open this coffin?â
Wang Ba once again glanced at Ji Lan, then said with a serious expression:
âOpen!â
Li Yingfu didnât hesitate for a moment and gently tapped the crystal coffin.
The lid of the crystal coffin instantly flew off.

Wang Ba couldnât help but take two steps forward, his Spiritual Sense sweeping over the girl in the coffin, but he did not detect the ânew soulâ Li Yingfu was speaking of.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didnât doubt Li Yingfuâs judgment.
As a Nascent Soul Later Stage cultivator, the otherâs keenness was certainly not something he could compare with.
Ji Lanâs Spiritual Sense also scanned at the same time, her eyes filled with even more confusion.
Li Yingfu remained calm, his hand forming an incantation gesture.
Muttering words under his breath.
He then suddenly took out a tea basin from his Storage Treasure and gently tapped it.
From inside the tea basin, a stream of water instantly flew out, heading straight into the mouth of the girl in purple.
After a few moments of silence.
At the Spiritual Government between the girlâs eyebrows, a ripple of light suddenly appeared.
Within the light, one could indeed see an indistinct and shapeless, immature phantom.
Seeing this scene, Ji Lanâs whole body shook!
Wang Baâs face also showed surprise.
He dared not speak, only to see Li Yingfu lifting a finger and the light of the water ripple gradually faded, and the phantom, as if affected by something, suddenly plunged into the girlâs eyebrows.
Wang Ba couldnât help but look toward Li Yingfu:
âEnforcer Li, what is this situation?â
Li Yingfuâs eyes revealed contemplation, then he half speculated and half affirmed:
âBased on Martial Uncle Jiâs words, this girl is young, yet her soul could withstand a Golden Core Craftsmanâs soul, even exhausting it, which shows her soul is extraordinary and extremely tenaciousâŠâ
âAnd a personâs soul is like a kindle of fire; sometimes the soul may be worn out, but if the bodyâs life force is still there and is preserved properly, even a mere wisp of ember can potentially reigniteâŠâ
âSo, sheâs not actually dead?â
Wang Ba glanced at the girl who was still lying quietly and questioned.
Li Yingfu shook his head:
âTo be precise, the original her has dissipated along with the obliteration of her soul, and this new soul, although still the owner of this body, strictly speaking, is no longer the original her.â
Wang Ba felt a slight heaviness in his heart.
He sighed softly.
Perceiving the change in Wang Baâs emotions, Ji Lan beside him couldnât help but feel a sinking in his heart, his thoughts rapidly changing.
He gritted his teeth and immediately made a fist-and-palm salute:
âMaster Wang, Elder Qinâs Spirit Possession of Ye Lingyu, I am aware of this matter, but did not intervene due to the dire situation of the Sect at the time.
I do not say this to shirk responsibilityâŠ
Now that Elder Qin has passed, if Master Wang wishes to avenge Ye Lingyu, Elder Qin was after all an Elder of our Sect, and though deceased, I am willing to take the responsibility on his behalfâŠ
But please, considering that you were once a disciple of our Sect, spare the other members of the East Saint Sect from your wrath!â
Hearing Ji Lanâs words, Li Yingfu couldnât help but look at Wang Ba and Ji Lan in astonishment.
He had sensed earlier that the Right Enforcer seemed to have a deep connection with this East Saint Sect, but hadnât thought much of it.
Now hearing Ji Lanâs words, he suddenly understood.
Wang Ba was also taken aback upon hearing this.
He glanced at Ji Lan somewhat surprisedly.
With a thought, he guessed Ji Lanâs intention.
Then, in the surprised look of Ji Lan, he calmly shook his head:
âYou are mistaken; I am not a disciple of the East Saint Sect.â
Ji Lan was shocked.
Not a disciple?
Could Junior Brother Hui be wrong!?
But that shouldnât beâŠ
the same name, and seemingly familiar with Ye LingyuâŠ
Wang Ba remained expressionless:
âOf course, you are not entirely wrong; indeed, I have some connection to your East Saint Sect.
To be precise, I once worked as a handyman in your Sectâs Beasts Room.
Yes, a chicken-farming handyman.â
âHandyman?!â
Ji Lan couldnât believe his eyes and stared wide-eyed.
Li Yingfu, although expressionless, was also deeply shaken inside!
âNot even a disciple?!â
âThe Right Enforcerâs starting pointâŠ
was that low?â
âFrom a small country Sect handyman to the Right Enforcer of the Wanxiang Sectâs Diwu HallâŠâ
He couldnât help but be moved:
âHow difficult must his journey have been!â
At that moment, he felt profound respect for Wang Ba.
Before, he merely admired Wang Ba for his talent and the way he conducted himself, and was grateful for Wang Baâs previous action to save them in a moment of crisis.
But now, thinking about it, a mere handyman with no background, from a small country, had survived the upheaval of the Sect and risen against all odds.
In just a few decades, he had made Nascent Soul Cultivators bow their headsâŠ
âYou are a concealed Spiritual Root!â
Ji Lan said with some astonishment.
