In response to Beast Lord Ruyuan's request, Zhou Xuanji asked, "You're able to possess someone right under the Beast Emperor's eyes?"
He was not afraid that the souls from the Ancient God Sword would turn against him in the future because part of their soul would still remain in the Ancient God Sword. He could ask the Sword Spirit to destroy the portion of their soul within the Ancient God Sword, dealing them a heavy blow, and he could then finish them off.
As long as he did not say so, the souls would never know this.
"Since I dare to make this request, I naturally have my ways. Don't worry," Beast Lord Ruyuan said confidently. He did not speak much compared to the other souls but more than Sovereign Xuan and Dao Lord Xuantian.
As such, Zhou Xuanji had the Sword Spirit split off his soul.
