Although Zhang Bin was only twenty-one years old, he had embarked on the path of cultivation this past year. He had experienced many dangers, fighting life-or-death battles with powerful cultivators. He had also fought bloody wars with incredibly formidable superpower users and even clashed with countless terrifying genetically enhanced humans in an underground American base. Furthermore, he had escaped from the cannon fire of an alien cosmic battleship. He had brushed with death many times.

He had felt no fear, not even a shred of trepidation.

But at this moment, a deep fear truly appeared on Zhang Bin's face. His eyes flared with terror as he stared at the woman emerging from the alley.

This woman didn't look like a demon or a ghost; she was a very beautiful woman whose figure, temperament, and appearance were in no way inferior to Zhu Danyan, who was sitting in the car.

However, a profound terror flooded Zhang Bin's heart.

Because… because this woman was identical to Hanbing Yun in every way except for her face.

Her stature was just as tall, her legs just as long, and the icy aura she emitted was almost the same.

Even her twin peaks were just as large, with virtually no difference.

What was more unbelievable was that she was wearing the same pants as Hanbing Yun, with only her top being different.

Furthermore, she was also a cultivator who had opened seventeen meridians, putting her at the exact same cultivation level as Hanbing Yun.

Even more, a faint aura of a special ability emanated from her, indicating she was also a superpower user.

Zhang Bin even noticed that there was yellow mud on her pants.

If he weren't absolutely certain that Hanbing Yun had committed suicide and that he had buried her with his own hands, he would have suspected this woman was Hanbing Yun in disguise.

Could it be that Hanbing Yun didn't die and crawled out of her grave? Is the yellow mud on her pants the proof? As for her top, she must have taken off her old one and stolen this one, which is clearly a bit ill-fitting. Or perhaps… this is Hanbing Yun's soul, and she's come to settle accounts with me?

Waves of fear assaulted Zhang Bin as he speculated wildly. In the past, he had never believed in ghosts, but since stepping onto the path of cultivation, he had come to realize just how many secrets and magical existences there were in the world. He had even seen the Nascent Soul that Zhou Tianyu cultivated. Moreover, the annotations of the Tao Te Ching also vaguely mentioned ghosts and souls.

Perhaps ghosts existed, and so did Hell. The appearance of Hanbing Yun's soul here was also a possibility.

Zhang Bin's gaze followed the woman intently as she walked toward the other end of the street, seemingly oblivious to him.

"Big Bad Egg, you lose your soul at the sight of a beauty. If you've got the guts, go and hit on her," Zhu Danyan chided coquettishly. Sitting in the back, she naturally couldn't see the fear on his face and just assumed he was smitten by the beautiful woman.

Zhang Bin snapped back to reality, immediately turning the car around and speeding after the woman. He had to get to the bottom of this, or he wouldn't be able to rest or eat in peace.

"You're really going to hit on her…" Zhu Danyan was so angry she nearly coughed up blood.

"Senior Brother's taste is indeed good, spotting an exceptionally rare beauty," Ma Rufei, who was driving behind Zhang Bin's car, had naturally seen the woman as well. He shouted excitedly and immediately sped up to follow.

As for Chen Chaoyue and Zhang Haijun, they were passed out drunk and snoring in the back.

Perhaps hearing the commotion, the beautiful woman whipped her head around and saw Zhang Bin behind the wheel. Her expression changed slightly, but instead of fleeing, she happily turned to meet him, calling out, "Brother, I got robbed! Can you give me some money?"

With a SWOOSH, Zhang Bin stopped the car right in front of her.

He opened the door, got out, and scanned the beautiful woman from head to toe. The more he looked, the more his heart pounded. She was almost identical to the Hanbing Yun he had buried, with the only difference being her face.

Ma Rufei also parked his car, got out, and studied the woman closely, a look of excitement spreading across his face. This woman was truly a rare find, easily comparable to Zhu Danyan, perhaps even to Hanbing Yun.

"Please, do me a kindness and give me some money…" the woman pleaded. Her voice was different from Hanbing Yun's, a bit coarser.

"You've reached the Rushing Pulse Realm and opened seventeen meridians. You're quite powerful. Who could possibly rob you?" Zhang Bin asked coldly.

"It was a group of experts. They were probably trying to assault me. I was terrified in the dark and fought with them. I managed to escape, but I dropped my bag," the woman said without hesitation.

"Senior Brother, Capital City is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Reaching the Rushing Pulse Realm is not that remarkable. It's plausible that experts would target such a beautiful woman," Ma Rufei explained.

"Zhang Bin, you bastard! I'm done with you! Just go with this beautiful woman!" Zhu Danyan, however, had somehow slid into the driver's seat. She drove off, her face full of anger.

"Don't go! Let me explain!" Zhang Bin hastily abandoned the woman who looked so much like Hanbing Yun and ran after the car.

Though he still had his doubts, if this woman really were a resurrected Hanbing Yun, she would have been frantic upon seeing me. Even if she wasn't frantic, she would never ask me for help. The more she spoke, the more her story would unravel.

"Beautiful lady, since you have no money, why don't you come with me? I'm not a bad person," Ma Rufei said, not leaving immediately, his face full of anticipation.

"No, no, no… You're a bad person, too!" Fear and caution appeared on the woman's face as she turned and hurried away.

"I'll give you money…" Ma Rufei took out his wallet, pulled out several thousand yuan, and chased after her.

"Thank you. I will repay you." The woman took the money and swiftly ducked into a small alley, vanishing into the night.

"What the hell? This is how you repay me? You didn't even ask for my name?" Frustrated and angry, Ma Rufei stamped his foot before getting into his car to chase after Zhang Bin and Zhu Danyan.

At that moment, Zhang Bin was sitting in the passenger seat, trying to explain. "I really didn't want to hit on her. She just looked suspicious, like a criminal. Maybe even a murderer."

"You're the criminal! You're the murderer!" Zhu Danyan's nose was practically twisted with anger. How could she believe him?

Zhang Bin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He continued his explanation while thinking to himself, Tutu, monitor her. We must find out who she really is.

"Master, she doesn't have a phone on her, and it's late at night. Monitoring her will be difficult. We've already lost her trail," Tutu's voice reported in his mind.

Lost her trail? How is that possible? Aren't there cameras all over the streets? Zhang Bin thought in astonishment.

"The cameras haven't detected anything," Tutu replied. "It's as if she just vanished into thin air, almost like she's a ghost."

Damn it, could she really be Hanbing Yun's soul?

Zhang Bin's face paled drastically.
