“Are you scared now?”
“Possessing a ghost officer’s soul without permission—light punishment means removal of all titles and starting from the very bottom; heavy punishment means soul dispersion, never to be reborn.”
“Just imagine, having committed such a grave mistake, do you think your master, Zhan Wuji, will be angry? Do you think he’ll just let you off the hook? If this matter spreads and becomes the talk of the entire Fengdu, even if he wants to protect you, do you think he’ll dare to?”
“If I were Zhan Wuji, I’d show no mercy, even to family, and punish you severely to salvage my reputation.”
The white-robed female ghost spoke slowly, deliberately, dragging out her words.
She wasn’t fleeing—she was fearless, intentionally luring the ghost officers here to use them as leverage.
Wuqing and Wu’ai exchanged glances. Wuqing, usually silent, frowned slightly and asked the white-robed ghost, “What do you want? If you brought us here, it’s not just to talk nonsense, right?”
Wuqing had a strong personality—stubborn and proud.
“Wuqing, this is all my fault. I’ll explain everything to Master. You don’t need to talk to her anymore. It’s just death anyway—I don’t care,” Wu’ai thought bitterly. She had caused this mess and was the one who thought of using her soul to possess a ghost officer. Now that things had gone wrong, she naturally didn’t want to drag Wuqing into it.
Wuqing said nothing, continuing to stare at the white-robed ghost.
The white-robed ghost sighed lightly and shook her head. “Wu’ai, you’re too naive! Do you really think a few words will make the stubborn Zhan Wuji spare Wuqing? You two don’t understand him as well as I do! Enough talk. Now I’ll give you two choices. One: cooperate with me, follow my orders, do whatever I say, and in ten years, we go our separate ways. I’ll keep this secret. Two: refuse to cooperate. You team up and kill me. But if you can’t kill me, then your deaths won’t be far behind.”
The white-robed ghost was confident, certain Wuqing and Wu’ai would choose the first path.
Wu’ai glanced at Wuqing. Though slightly annoyed, ten years was nothing to a ghost officer.
Wuqing lowered his head in thought, then nodded. “Fine. We’ll choose the first path and follow your orders. But we want to know who you really are.”
“That’s better left unknown,” the white-robed ghost smiled slightly at Wuqing. “Now, continue protecting Shui Miao. If anything happens, I’ll appear naturally.”
After speaking, the white-robed ghost turned to leave.
Suddenly, Wuqing drew his sword and blocked her path, coldly saying, “I have my own principles. You must tell me who you are, or else I’ll choose the second path.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A group of ghost horses and officers drew their swords, ready to fight the white-robed ghost to the death.
The white-robed ghost glared coldly at Wuqing and sneered, “You truly are heartless! Don’t you care about others’ lives at all? What can knowing my identity do to you? Is it more important than your friend’s life?”
“Friend?”
Wuqing shook his head coldly. “I have no friends. In my eyes, there is only life and death.”
Wu’ai quietly moved behind the white-robed ghost and suddenly hugged her tightly, shouting, “Wuqing, strike now! Kill her and end this!”
“Die!”
Wuqing’s eyes flashed with a chilling light. His sword skills were profound, his speed like lightning.
“Damn it!”
The white-robed ghost muttered incantations, and just as the black sword pierced her, she transformed into a talisman, her figure flashing behind Wuqing. Without hesitation, she aimed a palm strike at his back. But before her strike landed, a sword suddenly emerged from Wuqing’s back, piercing her hand. The white-robed ghost screamed in pain, quickly retreating and staring at Wuqing in shock. “How can there be a sword on your back?”
“What’s so strange about that? I have three souls. No matter which side you attack from, I’ll make sure you suffer.”
Wuqing smiled slightly. His soul suddenly split into three, surrounding the white-robed ghost.
At that moment, Wu’ai handed Wuqing the talisman the white-robed ghost had transformed into. “This has the official seal of the Fengdu Talisman Bureau. She must have stolen the missing soul-shifting talisman. She’s probably a thief. Let’s capture her and report back to Fengdu.”
“Report back? Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose your secret?” the white-robed ghost suddenly laughed sinisterly, pulling out a handful of soul-splitting talismans. Instantly, dozens of clones scattered in all directions, while her true body escaped in the chaos.
“Trying to escape? Not so fast!”
Wu’ai flashed forward and grabbed the real body of the white-robed ghost. “Ha! You didn’t know I have the Linglong Eye, did you? Even if you create ten thousand clones, I can still recognize you!”
“Die!”
Wuqing thrust his sword straight at the white-robed ghost’s forehead!
“Vajra Talisman of Protection—impervious to blades!”
At the last moment, the white-robed ghost spat out a golden talisman. It transformed into a golden light, enveloping her body in gold. Wuqing struck with all his might, but his sword bounced back!
Protected by the Vajra Talisman, the white-robed ghost remained unharmed.
“This is actually the Vajra Talisman from the Buddha Treasury of the Underworld! You thief! So you stole so many treasures from the Underworld!” Wu’ai exclaimed in shock.
These talismans were extremely valuable treasures. Wuqing and Wu’ai had only seen them in their master Zhan Wuji’s possession.
“Hmph!” Wuqing sneered at the white-robed ghost. “That Vajra Talisman can only protect you for ten breaths. After that, let’s see what you’ll do.” His mind shifted, and he suddenly vanished!
Invisibility—another of Wuqing’s ultimate techniques.
“Boom!”
Only five breaths later, the golden white-robed ghost exploded!
Wu’ai was thrown backward by the blast.
But at the moment of the explosion, a white talisman shot into the sky…
“Could this be the Gathering Soul Talisman of the Immortal Realm!”
Seeing the talisman, Wuqing, still invisible, felt his scalp tingle. This white-robed ghost carried far too many precious talismans! If he wasn’t mistaken, the Gathering Soul Talisman was a supreme talisman of the Immortal Realm, one that even immortals rarely obtained. How had this earthly ghost gotten her hands on it? Who was she, and why did she possess so many treasures?
“Whoosh!”
A black sword beam descended from the sky, cleaving straight toward the Gathering Soul Talisman!
Wuqing had three forms—he had hidden one in the sky and one underground. Now, they proved useful.
However, before Wuqing’s sword could strike, the Gathering Soul Talisman transformed into the white-robed ghost. She hastily waved her hand toward the sword beam, scattering a handful of talismans. Instantly, they transformed into celestial soldiers!
Indeed—armored warriors capable of flying through the air.
But these weren’t real celestial soldiers. They were Celestial Soldier Talismans created by immortals using divine power. For thirty breaths, they would fight like real celestial soldiers, but after that, the divine energy would dissipate, and they would vanish into thin air.
“Good! Now it’s my turn to counterattack!”
Earlier, the white-robed ghost hadn’t been trying to escape—she had been testing Wuqing and Wu’ai’s abilities.
Now, she had a general understanding.
So, the counterattack began!
