Afterward, Ling Xiao carefully treated the body, restoring Jiao Batian's shell to its original state. Only then did he leave a soul to enter into Jiao Batian's body.
If it was the past, he couldn't have managed to do this.
But now, having cultivated the Soul Fragment Scroll, it was within his capabilities to control a soulless shell by splitting off a part of his own soul.
This couldn't be considered possession.
Possession would be far more difficult than this.
After all, possession requires controlling a living creature with an active soul.
Having dealt with Jiao Batian's body, Ling Xiao employed the Shadow Step combined with the Shadow Armor, silently leaving the True Demon Empire's Imperial Palace.
It was probably because they had grown too comfortable in their own wealth, or they had too much confidence in the Imperial Palace's Array Formation.
Not a single person in the True Demon Empire's Imperial Palace noticed Ling Xiao's trace.
