Jiang Fan wielded the Human Emperor Sword, channeling his Primordial Magical Power to unleash a golden sword light infused with Evil Extermination against the weakened Substitute Death Ghost. The eerie creature screamed as it was purified and reduced to ashes, unable to resist the strike. Though seemingly defeated, Jiang Fan revealed its rebirth ability had relocated it to the Cangwu Immortal Mansion's Scripture Pavilion, with his Fate Hint precisely locating it amid the Mansion Spirit's growing anxiety.

"Found it?"

Hearing these words, the Mansion Spirit abruptly felt perplexed.

It knew full well the formidable strength of the Substitute Death Ghost's Concealing Ability.

Whenever the ghost decided to hide, fellow cultivators had no chance of detecting it.

Had locating it been so straightforward, dealing with the ghost wouldn't be such a nightmare.

Its hiding resembled a single grain of sand blending seamlessly into the endless desert—practically impossible to spot.

Achieving such a feat would mark this human cultivator as truly exceptional.

"That’s right, you possess authority over portions of the Cangwu Immortal Mansion."

"Send me to the Scripture Pavilion—it's lurking there."

Without delay, Jiang Fan voiced his command directly.

Should the Substitute Death Ghost swiftly regain its power, slaying it would prove nearly impossible.

"Very well."

The Mansion Spirit sensed the urgency; now wasn't the moment for probing questions.

With no other choice, it had to place faith in this human.

Despite its greatly reduced strength, controlling certain authorities remained feasible.

Boom~~

In an instant, surging Void Power wrapped around Jiang Fan, teleporting him straight to the Scripture Pavilion.

Towering bookshelves lined the area, each packed with numerous inheritance jade scrolls.

This spot was truly a haven of profound knowledge.

Nevertheless, its sheer vastness made pinpointing the Substitute Death Ghost seem hopeless.

Yet Jiang Fan already knew its precise whereabouts.

Straightaway, he reached the second bookshelf to the northeast, where the ghost concealed itself in the fifth inheritance jade scroll on the third row.

The ghost's Concealing Ability was undeniably potent, with scarcely any aura escaping.

Additionally, it could merge perfectly by attaching to any object.

Even upon Jiang Fan's arrival, the ghost didn't stir.

Trusting utterly in its Concealing Ability, it was convinced he couldn't sense it.

After its period of vulnerability ended, the human faced certain death.

It schemed to consume his flesh and soul afterward, unleashing its pent-up rage.

Bang!

Jiang Fan brandished the Human Emperor Sword, slamming it onto the jade scroll and unleashing the fearsome Power of Evil Extermination.

The void cracked asunder.

"How is this possible? How did you find me?"

Faced with this mortal danger, the ghost exploded in shock and fury, forced to cry out and reveal itself.

It believed switching its resurrection site would throw off the hunter.

But how much time had passed? The foe was already at its doorstep before it could relax.

The pursuit was astonishingly rapid.

The ghost couldn't fathom the human cultivator's method.

It felt like invisible eyes watched its every move relentlessly.

This human was the ghost's perfect counter and greatest foe.

Had it slain the human first, no such dire threat would exist.

But lamentations now were futile; regrets couldn't change the past.

Boom~~

Moments later, the Substitute Death Ghost disintegrated into dust again.

In its weakened form, it stood no chance against the Human Emperor Sword's devastating force.

"Truly found it? This defies belief."

"Does he sense the ghost’s aura?"

The Mansion Spirit manifested nearby, staring at Jiang Fan in complete astonishment.

Across its long existence, no one had ever precisely located the ghost.

This surpassed even its boldest expectations.

Perhaps this human cultivator could genuinely eliminate the Substitute Death Ghost.

The Mansion Spirit brimmed with eager anticipation and joy.

Doom might yet be spared for the Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

"Don’t just stand there, it’s still not dead yet. Send me to the fifth medicinal garden, it’s hiding there."

Jiang Fan spoke up at once.

Eight resurrection chances lingered for the ghost.

Total extermination required depleting every single one.

Now wasn't the time for complacency.

Any hesitation might let it flee, inviting catastrophe.

He refused to lower his vigilance for a second.

"Alright."

The Mansion Spirit nodded, fully convinced of the human's prowess after this display.

It promptly sent Jiang Fan to the fifth medicinal garden in Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jiang Fan to spot the ghost once more and dispatch it with a single sword blow.

The ghost clung to a Spirit Grass in hiding, yet fate's direction made its efforts vain.

Absolutely no hiding place existed.

This round, the ghost vanished without a word, overwhelmed by suffocating frustration.

Next, Jiang Fan pursued its third resurrection location.

On the third kill, the eerie apparition surged with shock and fury, bellowing: "Human, stop, cease immediately! Do you know who you’re slaying?!"

With the fourth kill, the ghost brimmed with utter frustration and disbelief: "Damn it, how do you pinpoint my resurrection spots every time? How do you pull it off? Tell me, tell me now."
