Gu Yuan, upon seeing this, had a glimmer in his eyes but did not give chase. Instead, he stepped forward and arrived before the Jade Gui.
The Jade Gui, having lost the protection of the Soldier Soul, revealed its true form, resembling an infant.
But when Gu Yuan's Mana swept over, attempting to seize it, a hazy cloud of miasma suddenly surged from the Jade Gui.
This miasma was like Weak Water; the moment Gu Yuan's Mana touched it, it immediately sank within, vanishing without a trace.
The Jade Gui had some Spiritual Nature, and although it had not birthed an Artifact Soul like those previous Evil Artifacts, it instinctively resisted Gu Yuan's grasp.
However, its spiritual wisdom was ultimately limited. With a thought from Gu Yuan, his Mana surged and spread, causing the waters of the great lake to roil violently and transform into an azure hand that suddenly surpassed layers of miasma, firmly grasping the Jade Gui.
