Hou Niao paid no attention to the astonished gazes fixated upon him, striking up casual conversations with people as he passed them by; sometimes he barely spoke a few words, and at other times, no one knew how he did it, but he managed to coax out a Wandering Soul!

When he returned, he chuckled and said, "These ghostly beings dare not approach those with robust yang energy, so they prey on the weak and infirm instead. With that said, brother, do you really think they can get away with it?"
The gatekeeper looked on in amazement, "Hou, junior brother, have you specifically practiced a Cultivation Technique for dealing with Soul Ghosts?"
