Feng City, The Guardian of the Tomb

"Generally, Nether Phantoms are driven by strong obsessions that remain unresolved until their death. After becoming a Nether Phantom, they exist in a realm of these obsessions, never finding release!" Gu Simu explained. "These are stories my father used to tell me before bed. My mother thought he was just trying to scare me and scolded him a few times... I never thought they were actually real."

Gu Simu stuck out her tongue, her expression showing a mix of happiness and pride. She had always been interested in stories about Nether Phantoms. When she saw the beggar woman earlier, she had a sense of familiarity. Initially, she thought it was just a story and didn't take it seriously. But when the beggar woman revealed her true nature and attacked, Gu Simu realized that her father's stories were indeed based in reality. As a result, her Exorcism Talismans had activated automatically, suppressing and eradicating the Nether Phantom.
