Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1488

"Heaven and earth together, true form within; primordial spirit binds, soul be recovered."

In the dimly lit room, Shannon stood before the vermilion-inked talismanic array, chanting softly to the sound of a clear melody. As she spoke, a cold gust of wind swept through the room.

However, as the wind passed, nothing remained. The figure on the ceiling was still there, but the water stain had slightly faded.

She waited for another while, ensured no changes in the room, and finally retracted the array. Shaking her head at the rest, she said, "The soul has been shattered. I can't recover it."

If it had been right after the soul was shattered, perhaps a fragment could still be recovered. But after such a long time, all that remained was a trace of lingering negative energy. There was nothing left, let alone the possibility of recovering the soul to ask it anything.

Maya wasn't in the apartment where Warren had exiled her. Instead, traces of a fierce ghost's termination had been found here. It simply couldn't be a mere coincidence.

"Maya's spiritual energy had been completely sealed. She couldn't have been the one to have terminated the ghost. I'm more inclined to believe this is the doing of the Black Smoke Organization."

If that were the case, it would explain why Maya could completely transform her appearance into another person and even regain her once-lost spiritual energy. For a fleeting moment, Shannon had also detected a trace of black smoke energy on her.

Many of these clues pointed to the possibility that Maya had become part of the Black Smoke Organization. Still… They had no evidence.

A face swap altered the soul's appearance, and even if one forcibly probed into her soul, it couldn't prove that she was indeed Maya. No matter what, they had to track down the victim of her face-swapping.

Skylar fell silent momentarily before saying solemnly, "This is an apartment Warren told a clan elder to prepare for her. He'd never find a place housing a fierce ghost for her, knowing she couldn't use her spiritual energy."

He knew Warren enough that he would still covertly protect Maya despite his great disappointment in her.
