Then the skeleton didn't bother looking over Lin Fan any longer as it went right back to where Faust was standing and said, "Little Faust, not this one."

Faust's face sunk when he heard this, but he still wouldn't give up as he said, "Teacher, please, this is the only thing I'm asking of you. I need his body to revive her."

The skeleton shook his head and gave a sigh before saying, "Little Faust, I really can't do anything this time. I can only tell you that my main body has its own plan and I can't interfere with it. If you really insist, I might even have to take care of you."

Faust couldn't help taking a step back when he heard this.

In all his years of learning from his master, he had never heard such words from him. Normally his master was playful and teased him quite a bit, but he had never heard a threat like this before…

Faust couldn't help looking at Lin Fan and wondering just what was so special about him that even his teacher wouldn't touch him, but there was nothing he could do since there was no way for him to force his teacher into killing him.

In fact, Faust had been lucky enough to accidentally summon his teacher in the past which was something that could be considered the luck of nine lifetimes.

His teacher had been the one who had taught him all that he had known about summoning the undead and had been the one that made him what he is today. If it wasn't for his teacher helping him, he would have died countless times already.

In his heart, there was only one person who had a higher position than his teacher, so normally he would have definitely listened to the words of his teacher. However, this involved that one person who was higher in his heart, so he had no other choice,

Faust didn't give up as he pulled out a sword that was made of bones from the ground before turning to Lin Fan. Judging by the look on his face, it seemed like he was going to go all out, but that was fine for Lin Fan as well since he was also running out of life energy.

Faust went right past the skeleton in the dark robe who didn't do a thing as he watched Faust run out. In the end, while he knew that Lin Fan was involved in the plans of his main body, he had been with Faust for some time now, so it was impossible for him not to feel a single thing towards him. So while he couldn't do a thing towards Lin Fan, that didn't mean that he couldn't stand aside and do nothing. Not to mention what had already happened to Faust…

Faust charged forward at Lin Fan with his white sword wrapped in the black energy of death. He had gathered all his energy for this one single strike, causing the black energy around his pure white sword to take the form of a skull that was like the reaper of death.

Of course, this was exactly what Lin Fan wanted since he knew that he wouldn't be able to last much longer with these ten laws. Faust didn't know this and if he had been slightly more patient, he could have waited out Lin Fan to take him down. It was just too bad that he had been too agitated and chose to use this heads on confrontation method in the end.

The one problem for Lin Fan was that Faust was a ghost in these ruins, which meant that there was the protection of the array for him. Even if Lin Fan defeated him with his full force, without using the golden energy, it was impossible for him to truly kill him.

As of right now, the only way that Lin Fan knew of to use that golden energy was to put his life in danger and it would appear at the last second, but using his life energy like this would ensure that he would be safe, so it wouldn't appear.

Still, that was a bridge that Lin Fan would deal with when he crossed it since for now, all he needed to do was take down Faust, otherwise he might really be in a bad situation.

So Lin Fan also raised all his laws to the max and gathered all the energy he had into a single slash.

Both of them advanced towards each other, letting out roars as they gathered all their energy.

Finally they clashed right in the center of the room, but this clash didn't even last a single second before breaking up.

It was something that neither side had expected, but it had happened in the end.

Just like with the ghost principal, when Lin Fan's sword clashed with Faust's sword, the second before the collision, there was a golden glow that suddenly completely wrapped around Lin Fan.

With this golden glow that appeared, there wasn't even a single second of hesitation as Lin Fan's sword cut right through Faust's sword and continued forward before cutting him right in half.

The two sides of Faust's body flew through the air before landing on separate sides of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked down at his sword, seeing the golden glow quickly retreat back to his body, heading to the golden diamond on his forehead.

He couldn't understand just what caused this golden glow to appear. He had thought that he had figured it out before, but now it just confused him more because it had suddenly appeared without his intention at all.

The upper part of Faust with his head was staring right at Lin Fan, or rather the golden glow that surrounded him with a complicated look in his eyes. It was a mix of yearning along with a hatred towards that golden glow.

Since Faust had been cut down, his summons would have normally disappeared, but the skeleton in the dark robe just stood there on the side watching everything without showing a single sign that he would be disappearing.

Lin Fan turned back to Faust and asked, "Where is the doll?"

After all, this was the most important thing to him right now.

Faust looked at Lin Fan with an even more complicated look, but in the end, he dug into his chest and took out a golden glowing doll. This was the doll that had been described in the folder, but when Lin Fan saw it, he saw that the file really didn't do it justice.

This was a doll that was completely life-like and it wasn't a doll of something random, it was a doll of a woman and it was a very beautiful woman.

Lin Fan didn't say anything for a while as Faust began dissipating into ashes and it was Faust who broke the silence in the end by saying, "Do you want to hear a story?"

Lin Fan was surprised to suddenly hear this and while he was thinking about this, the skeleton on the side suddenly said, "Listen to him, it'll be good for you."

Lin Fan looked at the skeleton on the side and after another bit, he gave a nod to Faust.

Faust started by saying, "Before coming here, Gretchen and I were wanderers. We weren't rich, but we were happy with our simple lives of wandering. However, after coming here, it all changed…"

Faust stopped after saying this and he gave a sigh as he looked at the doll that he was holding. Then after another pause, he said, "It was all that b*stard's fault that everything turned out this way, if it was possible, I wish that we never came here in the first place."

Lin Fan was about to ask a question, but Faust suddenly raised his hand and said, "Don't interrupt just yet, let me finish."

After saying this, he continued, "In the end, he used these people to trap us and he took her away from me. Before I could do anything, she was already dead...and it was all my fault."

There was a single tear that came out of the corner of his eyes when he said this and then he said, "I was able to summon teacher here and he taught me the way to preserve her body, but the soul, the soul, it was still the one thing missing. For the soul to be summoned back, there needs to be a sacrifice. Something of equal value…"

Then Faust turned to look right at Lin Fan and pointed at his forehead, "That power that you've been given, that is the key to all of this. As long as I can get it, I'll be able to summon back her soul."

Seeing the desire in Faust's eyes, Lin Fan raised his guard, preparing to block any attacks that would come his way.

Seeing this, Faust revealed a faint smile and waved his hand before saying, "Calm down, there's no way for me to take it from you now. You can see what kind of condition I'm in, do you really think I can still do anything?"

Then there was another pause before Faust gave a sigh and revealed a smile, "No, it's time for me to rejoin her in the afterlife, but before I leave, I want to give you a warning." After saying this, there was a serious look that appeared on Faust's face, "You say that you don't know that Huang Di, but I can tell that you're related to him in some way. Just be warned, you shouldn't trust…"

Before he could finish, there was a beam of golden light that fell down right on top of him.
