At the beginning, everything went smoothly.
The familiar rhythm was still there: light the lantern, gather souls, hide, and ambush at the right moment; an hour later, they had already accounted for three wandering souls and two fierce ghosts. The purification was drawing to a close. According to the Tideng Monk, once the Gang Qi inside these soul bodies was resolved, it would be time to release them.
Whether the Gang Qi was completely resolved or not, no one knew for sure, but these purified soul ghosts indeed lost their aggressiveness after dissolution and were not as ferocious anymore. However, how long this peaceful state could last was uncertain.
Hou Niao couldn't be bothered to backtrack to experiment whether the soul ghosts in those purified areas were still aggressive, because one thing was certain: the number of wandering souls and fierce ghosts in those areas were definitely far less than usual.
