Chapter 1940 - 1929: Beast Soul Warrior
In a rundown apartment, Ning Fan finally met Mary.It was clear that Mary's condition was very poor at the moment, with her soul body flickering rhythmically, like a light bulb with insufficient power.
This is also why Mary is hiding here, in an illegal immigrant area where various walks of life gather.
"Ning Fan..."
In her excitement, Mary's soul body flickered faster and faster, as if it could dissipate at any moment.
"Don't be excited, maintain a calm mindset."
Excessive emotional fluctuations can cause abnormalities in the soul body, especially given Mary's injured state.
"Don't say anything yet, I'll help you stabilize your soul."
After Mary was injured, the Phillips Family invited Ghost Mages from the Dark Council, but these mages seemed to lack profound knowledge of souls.
They only temporarily prevented Mary from dissipating, but did not completely heal her.
Luckily, Mary awoke early, and in Ning Fan's estimation, otherwise in a few days Mary's soul body would fade to where she couldn't interact with objects.
As time passes, she will eventually disappear into the void.
Due to the Divine Blood, Ning Fan's soul origin is extremely formidable.
Soul power transformed into countless strands in the brilliant golden glow, drifting toward Mary, then wrapped her into a golden cocoon.
Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome; Ning Fan only needs to feed soul power directly.
It's like charging, relying on the formidable soul origin to forcibly stabilize Mary's fluctuating soul body.
But doing so is somewhat addressing the symptoms, not the root cause; making Mary's soul body stronger is key.
Otherwise, similar issues would happen again, and Ning Fan doesn't have the time in America to heal her daily with soul power.
Similarly for soul bodies, if the Salvation Society people encountered Nannan, Ning Fan could guarantee the dead would be the other side.
To avoid the situation of the egg hitting the stone, make the egg as hard as the stone.
Not long after, in a sight invisible to ordinary people, the golden cocoon gradually disappeared, revealing a naked body of Mary.
Mary, amazed by the changes in her soul body, didn't notice this scene at all.
Mary's appearance was already delicate; especially in the soul body state, her skin was smooth and fine like a White Jade statue.
Faced with such a naked beauty, Ning Fan felt a bit overwhelmed; after a glance, he quickly shifted his gaze.
"Bick, I'm not deliberately taking advantage of you."
On second thought, Ning Fan found it somewhat incredible.
Bick knew Mary was a ghost, yet he had the courage to become lovers with her.
"This truly is a fateful encounter."
Mary knew Bick just to absorb his energy.
Thinking of these, Ning Fan chuckled; seeing Mary still naked, prompting, "Put on some clothes first."
Noticing herself naked before a man, Mary, coming to her senses, without any shyness, naturally conjured up a set of clothes.
"What happened with Bick's disappearance?"
After thinking it over, Ning Fan chose Bick as the breakthrough point, then connected all the clues.
After Mary was attacked, she was in a state of recuperation, knowing nothing of the subsequent events.
"Bick saved me when I was attacked, then we notified the Phillips Family... I heard from Philip's Clan Leader that Bick seemed to be a Beast Soul Warrior."
"Beast Soul Warrior?"
Recalling the timid giant, Ning Fan was puzzled; he hadn't noticed anything unusual about Bick.
"Perhaps it's related to bloodline."
Bloodline power is magical, ordinary among humans; only when bloodline is activated does it show its extraordinary nature.
With Ning Fan's current cultivation, he couldn't detect bloodline at that level.
Clearing the immediate doubts, Ning Fan continued to ask, "Then what happened later?"
"Later Bick joined the Phillips Family."
Ning Fan exclaimed, "You say he was embraced?"
"No. He just trained with the Phillips Family's help to discover the power of the beast soul."
"I see."
Ning Fan continued asking, "Then what happened after that?"
"Then the battle broke out. Worried for my safety, Bick hid me here."
Mary's expression tightened, speaking anxiously, "When I woke, I couldn't reach them, as if everyone had disappeared."
"And then you contacted me?"
"Yes."
Unwilling to give up, Ning Fan asked, "No clues at all?"
"I... I don't know either," Mary said in confusion, "I tried contacting the members of the Phillips Family and the Morgan Family, but got no response."
Due to Alice's relationship with Ning Fan, Mary, though an insignificant ghost, had an uncommon relationship with these two families.
The clans remaining in New City treated Mary as a guest, leaving many contact methods.
If Mary couldn't reach them, it indicates the two families had indeed left New City.
Ning Fan frowned, "But how do you know all thirteen blood clans disappeared?"
"It's my guess."
After awakening, Mary ventured outside to search yet couldn't find a single blood clan member.
New City was Phillips Family's territory, but it didn't prohibit other blood clans from entering.
Many blood clans from other families still hid in New City.
Having often spent time with Alice, Mary knew blood clan's habits and aura well.
"Do you know where they went?"
Mary shook her head, "The last time I saw Bick, he said there would be war, and advised me to be careful and wait for him to return."
Saying this, Mary shrugged, but after twitching for a while, no tears fell.
Such was the sorrow of ghosts, no matter how sad, they wouldn't cry.
"Too few details."
Ning Fan sighed.
Though Mary speculated, he already believed her.
Upon entering New City, Ning Fan expanded his perception, but didn't detect the chilling aura characteristic of blood clans.
The blood clans planning to make a mark in New City seemed to have completely vanished overnight.
"With Salvation Society's strength, shouldn't it qualify to maneuver between two forces, right?"
This was Ning Fan's doubt.
A Sanctuary of Light traitor, at best, had the power of a Duke, and that's counting the Holy Power enhancement.
Encountering aliens resistant to Holy Power, Stuart's real strength, as Ning Fan saw, was just at the Peak of True Origin.
As for Salvation Society's Sect Hierarch, the despicable Adams, he was nothing more than an ordinary human.
Ning Fan found it hard to believe Salvation Society could survive against blood clan power, and even collaborate with the Sanctuary of Light.
The foundation of cooperation is equality of forces,
If power disparity is too large, it's not cooperation, but subjugation.
The more powerful side would certainly swallow the weaker side.
"I heard Phillips Family say Salvation Society recruited people from the Exorcism Association."
Ning Fan wondered, "Why did Exorcism Association pop up? Aren't they a blood clan partner?"
"Exorcism Association's management cooperates with blood clans, but not all internal members agree."
