Chapter 108: 108. Bright on the path, dark behind the scenes.

I grabbed Liu Zi'ang's left hand and felt for the pulse to find a faint, slow beating.

"Old Ren, do you know what she is trying to do? And you're helping her?! Have you lost your mind?"

Old Ren's expression already turned dumbfounded when he heard about soul extraction; he probably never imagined that a friend of so many years would harbor such twisted intentions.

"Are you out of your mind? At your age, why are you entertaining such crooked thoughts?! When everything was fine, why... why would you attempt soul extraction?! Do you want to get everyone killed? Fortunately, you didn't get the child's finger, or else... or else... you..."

Without wasting time on useless talk, Ninth Master Chang immediately placed his hand on my right. I gripped Liu Zi'ang's arm tightly and yanked forcefully, tearing Aunt Liu's soul and spirit out of him and slamming them back into Aunt Liu's body with a palm strike.
