Wen Cai was an exceptionally astute woman.

With all the information she had previously gathered, combined with Ning Fan's current demeanor, she had enough to make an accurate deduction.

"That's right," Ning Fan confirmed Wen Cai's speculation.

Wen Cai bit her lip lightly, abandoning any further thought of teasing him.

"Do you know how to extract a spirit from a weapon?" she asked.

Without waiting for Ning Fan's response, Wen Cai stated bluntly, "Melt it!"

Ning Fan's heart sank.

Upon learning that Brother Chuan had turned into a Ghostly Person, his first thought was of Wen Cai.

Wen Cai was in the spirit extraction business; she might have a way to help extract the [Butcher] from Brother Chuan!

Although this would turn Brother Chuan into an ordinary person, and he might not be able to obtain a Soul Servant again in the future...

It would still be better than becoming a mindless husk.

However, Wen Cai's words shattered his last hope.

"Have you found Lin Chuan?" Wen Cai asked softly, noticing Ning Fan's dejected mood.

Ning Fan shook his head.

After a moment's thought, he replied in a hoarse voice, "We dare not look."

Wen Cai sighed.

The members of the Stray Dog Pack, before finding a way to turn Lin Chuan back...

Lacked the courage to face him.

"Alright, Sister Cai, I'll be going then," Ning Fan said with a bitter smile. "This time... I'm really leaving."

"Wait a moment," Wen Cai licked her lips, hesitating for a long while before finally speaking, "I've heard someone mention before that there might be a way to suppress a Ghostly Person's Soul Servant."

Ning Fan's eyes instantly lit up.

"What method?"

"I don't know the specifics! And I can't guarantee the truthfulness of this information; it could very well be false," Wen Cai didn't beat around the bush. "You know about the three sovereigns in the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone now, right?"

"Yes," Ning Fan nodded. "Su Bei's father is one of them."

"Correct," Wen Cai pinched her chin. "I've never been to the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone, and I know almost nothing about that place. I just heard someone say that one of the sovereigns... has an army of Ghostly People under his command."

"An army of Ghostly People?!"

"Yes!" Wen Cai cleared her throat. "I was thinking... if he can form an army with Ghostly People, doesn't that mean he has a way to control the Soul Servants within them?"

"What's that sovereign's name?"

"I think... it's Lin Hai!"

Wen Cai said seriously, "Ning Fan, I'm not sure about the truthfulness of this information! So before you figure it out, don't act rashly. You know that Su Bei is in the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone!"

Defeating Su Bei in F27 District was possible because it was her home turf.

The Monitors could set up a trap, waiting for Su Bei to fall into it!

But if Ning Fan were to go to the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone, it would be like walking into the lion's den.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

If Wen Cai hadn't seen how much Ning Fan cared about Lin Chuan, she wouldn't have told him this information.

"Alright," Ning Fan said gratefully. "Sister Cai, don't worry, I won't act rashly."

Having hope was always better than having none.

And Ning Fan wasn't just placating Wen Cai.

He was well aware of how dangerous it would be to go to the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone.

Even if this information were true, Ning Fan would make thorough preparations before going.

Seeing that Ning Fan was about to leave, Wen Cai suddenly asked softly, "When will you come back this time?"

"Let's talk about that after we find Brother Chuan," Ning Fan sighed. "Since there's a possibility of saving him, we can't just let him wander alone in the wild."

"Alright, if you encounter anything I can help with... contact me," Wen Cai opened a drawer and took out a mobile phone, handing it to Ning Fan. "Return it to me when we meet again!"

Ning Fan was stunned.

This phone could be used for communication in the wild!

"Don't lose it, it costs over a hundred thousand Solas!" Wen Cai glared at him.

It was impossible not to be moved.

"I'll definitely come back," Ning Fan didn't pretend to be polite.

This phone was incredibly helpful to him.

The only thing he could do was to pay Wen Cai back double when he really earned money in the future.

"Alright, get out of here!" Wen Cai turned her body sideways.

Ning Fan saw her petite body trembling slightly. He wanted to step forward to say goodbye, but after some thought, he decided against it.

"I'm leaving, Sister Cai."

Bang.

The office door was closed.

Wen Cai turned her head almost instantly, looking at the tightly closed door.

"Stupid fool! Doesn't understand anything!"

......

When Ning Fan returned to the cave, Monkey was already gone.

Seeing him pause for a moment, Hui Zi sneered, "I found a tree in the Ghost Mist Forest and nailed him to it."

This was Monkey's ultimate fate.

If he was lucky, he might die from blood loss.

If he was unlucky, he might be eaten alive by the Aberrant Beasts in the Ghost Mist Forest before he died completely.

"You rushed out so urgently earlier, did you think of a solution?" Qiao Fei had clearly lost some of her usual indifference.

If there really was a way, it meant that not only could Lin Chuan be saved, but her sister...

Might also have a chance to come back!

Ning Fan recounted what he had just discussed with Wen Cai.

"The Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone?" Hui Zi's brow furrowed deeply. "That place isn't easy to get into."

Based on their descriptions, although they had never been to the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone, they had heard of its notorious reputation!

The Aberrant Beasts there were terrifying.

The people...

Were even more terrifying!

Under the "protection" of the Three Sovereigns, the surrounding Aberrant Beasts didn't dare to attack the alliance zone.

However, while the people inside the zone didn't have to face the threat of Aberrant Beasts, they had to face the Three Sovereigns, who were more terrifying than the beasts.

Who knows, if one of the sovereigns was in a bad mood, some people in the zone might have to die.

In the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone, the Three Sovereigns...

Were like gods!

Three gods!

The order within the zone was entirely up to the Three Sovereigns!

"If what that Monitor captain said is true, it means we need to seek help from one of the sovereigns..." Thinking of this, the hope that had just ignited in Hui Zi was somewhat extinguished. "It's too difficult."

"Having hope is better than having none," Ning Fan said firmly. "I can't abandon Brother Chuan, just like he wouldn't abandon us!"

"Kid, when you talk like that, aren't you basically insulting me? Are you the only one with loyalty and righteousness?" Hui Zi was a bit unhappy.

"I think what he said is right," Qiao Fei stood up. "If there's hope, we should try."

"Fine, fine, fine, you're all noble, and I'm the ungrateful one!" As he spoke, Hui Zi had already started to extinguish the campfire.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Fei asked.

Hui Zi sneered, "What else? Of course, I'm going to try with you guys! I just thought it was a bit difficult, did you really take me for a coward?"

"But where do we go to find Brother Chuan now?" Ning Fan was a bit lost for direction.

Qiao Fei looked outside the cave.

"There's a place called the Soul Return Basin in F19 District," Qiao Fei's eyes dimmed. "If Brother Chuan has really turned into a Ghostly Person now, I think... he might go there!"

Before the two could ask why, Qiao Fei directly gave the answer.

"My younger sister is there now!" Qiao Fei's emotions were clearly fluctuating. "Because that place is a paradise for Ghostly People."
