416 Banished Souls

"If you don't mind me asking, just what are you guys? Banished souls? Does this mean you're dead?" Yuan suddenly asked the shadowy figure.

"Dead, huh? While we're not truly dead, we might as well be considered dead since we cannot leave this place," she said.

"We're souls— evil spirits so to speak, and our physical bodies have long rotted from this world."

"Why? Why were you guys banished here? Did you do something wrong?"

The shadowy figure giggled in a graceful tone before speaking, "Maybe. Some considered us as sinners while others considered us as heroes— it all depends on which side you stand."

And she continued, "As for what we did… Well, we waged war against heaven and the ruler of the Nine Heavens— the Celestial Emperor. And as you can probably tell from our current situation, we lost the war and were banished to this Shadow Realm."
