Chapter 28 -28 Crisis_1

After returning to Li Mansion, Lin Bei hadn’t returned yet, so Chu Liang sat cross-legged in meditation, ready to use this time to reward himself.

In the midst of the White Pagoda, a faint golden ghostly figure was imprisoned.

Chu Liang had thought before, was this White Pagoda some sort of malicious magic artifact that refined souls in exchange for treasures. But later found out that it wasn’t, the White Pagoda did not interfere with the dissipation and reincarnation of souls, and the golden phantom it extracted was more like a mark. It just proved that he had indeed killed such an evil spirit.

The most direct evidence was the Masked Ghost in front of him, and the Cat Spirit from before, they were all ghosts transformed, they were originally spiritual phantoms.

If what the White Pagoda refined and brought here was their spirits, then their form in the White Pagoda should be identical to their form outside. However, it isn’t so, there is only a mindless golden phantom inside the White Pagoda.

So this is simply a White Pagoda that encourages one to exorcise demons.

With that, he casually pressed the “Refining” button.

Boom——

After the dazzling light, he caught the treasure in his hand and found that it was a clear and transparent white Jade Talisman.

[Soul Exchange Charm]:

Can temporarily exchange your godly soul with that of another body for three breaths. It is recommended to use it on the same species, entering a different species won’t be a good experience. Three breaths is a short time, but sometimes it’s enough.

Chu Liang curled his lips, this reward was disappointing.

This kind of Jade Talisman is not strictly a talisman, it’s just a stored Daoist Technique.

Cultivators can store their divine skills in such a way to eventually store it in a Jade Talisman. The higher the grade of the Jade Talisman, the better the storage effect. Like this white Jade Talisman, it can retain at least 80% of its power.

Sometimes, this kind of Jade Talisman can have miraculous effects, such as an instant effect of some complex spells, or to store some self-defense techniques for the younger generation.

But this method has many limitations and the cost of consumption in the middle is very high, so it’s not very common.

Like this Soul Transfer Spell stored in the Jade Talisman…

Chu Liang did not see much use, it would have been better to give an empty white Jade Talisman, this rare material could be sold at the Chuan Jian Hall for quite a few Sword Coins.

But a white Jade Talisman storing a rubbish spell like this wouldn’t be worth that much.

As soon as the reward ended, Lin Bei returned from outside.

“How was it?” asked Lin Bei.

“All went well, the Masked Ghost has been eliminated.” Chu Liang replied.

“That’s good, my side also went smoothly. Yan Xiaohu has recognized me as his sworn elder brother, swearing to change his past behavior and start anew.” Lin Bei grinned.

Chu Liang nodded.

He then proceeded to explain the specifics to Lin Bei.

“But it’s a bit strange…” after hearing Chu Liang’s account of the events and understanding the full picture, Lin Bei was puzzled, “They all bullied her, so why didn’t Situ Yan bear a grudge against Yan Xiaohu? He was scared for a good while, but his name wasn’t even on her revenge list.”

“Maybe…it’s because Yan Xiaohu did not discriminate against her on account of her appearance,” Chu Liang speculated, “Although he would ask Situ Yan for money, he would also ask others for the same, treating everyone equally. The ones who hurt Situ Yan were those who treated her specially…”

“Makes sense, sigh…” Lin Bei nodded and let out a wistful sigh.

…

Under the quiet night, the night should have been without words.

Back at Nanshan Academy, Song Qingyi was sitting in meditation, practicing for a while before lying down to rest.

At the human level, Cultivators still need sleep to nourish their spirits; it is only when they reach the peak of the Divine Consciousness Realm, the perfection stage of essence and spirit, that they can substitute cultivation for sleep. However, the experience of replacing sleep with cultivation still cannot compare to the comfort of having a good night’s sleep.

Not long after, near dawn, she was suddenly awaken by a faint sobbing sound.

“Hmm?” Song Qingyi rolled over and sat upright, confirming that a faint sobbing sound was wafting in from outside the window.

She got out of bed, put on her clothes, and with a single leap, came to the window.

This was the residence Nanshan Academy had specially arranged for her, it was quite far from other lecturers’ lodgings, and there weren’t many people living nearby.

Who was crying?

She followed the sound and not far away, saw a small figure curled up in a corner, her hair tied up in two buns, crying with her back to Song Qingyi.

“Little friend?” Song Qingyi hurriedly approached, “What’s wrong?”

At this point, the affair with the Masked Ghost had come to an end and she wasn’t particularly on guard. However, at the moment the child turned around, a strong, ominous energy hit her front-on. Song Qingyi felt her heart tighten and immediately tried to retreat!

But it was a little too late.

She’d already caught sight of the child’s face, black and horrifying. His veins bulged and twisted, his shattered visage was like a smashed watermelon. The image rang in her mind like a heavy hammer striking deep within her soul.

Although her reaction had been swift, she hadn’t expected this attack, and she froze in the spot temporarily.

It was during this brief moment that seven or eight ghostly hands, with black elongated fingernails, sprung from the ground and clutched her ankles!

Forcefully biting her tongue to regain consciousness, Song Qingyi tried to draw the Inch Heart Ruler to cut off these ghostly hands.

But then, a chill ran down her spine, and she felt extreme cold. She found herself unable to move.

From another perspective, you could see a long-haired ghost woman dressed in white whose face was covered, had somehow clung to her back, her hands clutching Song Qingyi’s shoulders.

“Who’s there?”

Song Qingyi asked in a calm voice, despite being restrained. Having several ghosts appearing all at once could not possibly be a coincidence.

Someone must be orchestrating things from behind the scenes.

“Oh dear, it’s the little maiden from the Scholar’s Academy…” A raspy, unpleasant voice sounded from the side.

A tall figure in a black cloak with a hood covering his head stepped forward. His voice was elderly, but his stance and physique suggested otherwise – there was something eerie about him.

“You oughtn’t to have interfered with my painstakingly-crafted Masked Ghost.” His tone remained indignant. “I promised her that if she killed her three enemies here, she could devotedly help me harvest souls. Who knew… that once she had finished, she prepared to leave with me… And yet, you chose that time to kill her…”

“I’m very angry…”

“You must pay the price…”

His sinister tone sent chills down one’s spine in the darkness before dawn.

Song Qingyi didn’t say anything else. Instead, she suddenly flicked a small golden light into the air with her left hand – it was the Half-page Golden Book.

The Half-page Golden Book rose into the air, emitting a cleansing light that caused the ghost hands restraining Song Qingyi to emit black smoke. Screams filled the air as they released her.

“Ah!”

The ghost hands and the ghost woman in white hastily retreated, and Song Qingyi was freed. She didn’t try to attack the black-robed man, as their previous battle had proven his cultivation to be far superior to hers—he was at least a Golden Core Realm cultivator… and a highly unusual demonic cultivator at that.

Escaping is her top priority at the moment.

She saw herself leaping backward, the black-robed man didn’t pursue but gave a strange smile as he reached for a large, black, iron slingshot.

He loosely gripped the slingshot with his right hand, drew it full tilt, and sharply commanded, “go!”

Shoo-

An arc of electric light cut through the night.

Point.

Song Qingyi’s on-air body jolted, with the sound of being stabbed by a sharp weapon, yet no wound appeared. However, she froze and then fell heavily to the ground.

Crash!

After she fell, she felt an extreme numbing cold spread through her body, even the slightest movement of her fingers felt extremely difficult. Suddenly, a name flashed through her mind.

The Soul Piercing Nail.

An Underworld King Sect’s demonic magic artifact. It’s an invisible weapon that directly attacks the soul. As soon as you are nailed by it, your soul is controlled, leaving you paralyzed.

The footsteps from behind got closer as the black-robed man leisurely approached and, with a flick of his fingers, Song Qingyi was involuntarily yanked upright as if he had invisible strings attached to her.

“Come with me.”

The black-robed man chuckled eerily and continued marching forward. Song Qingyi followed stiffly behind, seemingly unable to escape.

But then.

In a corner unnoticed by anyone, the half-page Golden Book that had been protecting Song Qingyi had silently disappeared…
