The confrontation and struggle at the spiritual level were far more dangerous than anticipated.
Xu Xiangyang dared not imagine the outcome if he were to be defeated in this struggle; he could only go all in, putting his hope in the strength of his own spirit.
Of course, even after his soul left his body and grappled with the Ghost House Elder, he didn't forget to spare a little attention to monitor the situation in the real world.
And when he saw Lin Xing Jie starting to give up on escaping and sitting still, fully concentrating on recovering her condition, Xu Xiangyang felt a bit relieved.
At this moment, their thoughts were in alignment.
Xu Xiangyang didn't believe that the two of them had any chance of escaping, so they needed to wait until Lin Xing Jie had recovered enough to summon Xiao An—or even if she couldn't wholly recover, by merely summoning the muddy torrents from another world, as long as they acted together, they still had a chance to repel the Ghost House Elder.
