Ghosts That Walked Out of a Book

"President, are you alright?" Zhao Xiaodao struggled to his feet, ran to Gongsun Qiong's side, and asked with concern.

Gongsun Qiong shook her head, handed the spirit sword back to Chu Hongyuan, and said, "I'm fine, that thing can't hurt me."

Chu Hongyuan sheathed his spirit sword, looked outside the door, and said in confusion, "I wonder what secret technique that woman used, because even I couldn't sense her presence."

Zhao Xiaodao, who was standing to the side, was also still shaken. He nodded and said, "It was really scary. How could such a terrifying being exist?"

Gongsun Qiong frowned slightly, turned and walked into the hall, saying, "Didn't any of you see her just now?"

Chu Hongyuan and Zhao Xiaodao followed behind, shaking their heads and saying, "No, we only saw her when you stabbed her, Chairman."

"But President, your aura was so powerful just now!" Zhao Xiaodao said in surprise.

She only now remembered that Gongsun Qiong, who had no cultivation, had actually stabbed the woman with her sword, making her appear. Otherwise, Chu Hongyuan and Zhao Xiaodao really wouldn't have been able to deal with the invisible woman.

Chu Hongyuan remained silent. He sensed that the president had changed since emerging from the Analects, but he couldn't pinpoint the change. The president was still just an ordinary person, with no fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

However, the aura that erupted from the guild leader when he stabbed the invisible woman was something even he couldn't achieve. In other words, in a sense, the guild leader's cultivation level was higher than his.

You must know, Chu Hongyuan's cultivation level is the Spirit Venerable first stage! Spirit Venerable powerhouse! The guild leader, who doesn't understand cultivation, actually unleashed an aura even stronger than his Spirit Venerable cultivation level. How could this not surprise Chu Hongyuan?

'Are the books in the Mysterious Bookstore really that magical?' Chu Hongyuan wondered to himself. He even felt that he should find a chance to go in and take a look: at least for now, he was really tempted.

Gongsun Qiong didn't show any smugness. Instead, she asked with a puzzled look, "Xiaodao, I remember hearing something strange when we went back to the trading market this afternoon. Do you remember it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaodao thought for a moment and replied, "President, are you referring to the incident last night where a cultivator at Yihong Tower went mad for no reason and had his heart ripped out?"

Hearing this, Chu Hongyuan suddenly realized and chimed in, "That's right. I happened to run into the owner of Yihong Tower at the trading market today and chatted with her for a while. According to her, the cultivator last night wasn't attacked or poisoned by anyone; he just inexplicably went mad, and there were no wounds on his body except for his ripped chest. It's very strange. Could it be that invisible woman from earlier did it?"

Gongsun Qiong placed her hand on the table and gently tapped it, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, the mysterious death of that cultivator last night is related to what we just encountered. Moreover, she didn't use any secret techniques to evade your senses; she wasn't human to begin with."

"Not human?" Zhao Xiaodao and Chu Hongyuan exchanged glances, not quite understanding Gongsun Qiong's meaning.

Gongsun Qiong nodded and said, "That's right, she's not human. The reason you can't see her is because she has no physical body; she's an illusory being."

Zhao Xiaodao and Chu Hongyuan fell silent. They had never even heard of such a situation before, so they were shocked and couldn't process it for a while.

Gongsun Qiong knew they might not understand, and in fact, even she herself wasn't quite sure, so she said, "Let's leave it at that for now. Let's continue observing. It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaodao and Chu Hongyuan nodded and left with puzzled expressions.

Gongsun Qiong sat quietly inside the hall, silently gazing out the door, lost in thought.

The night is still long.

The Mysterious Bookstore.

'Giggle~'

'Thump~ thump.'

'Clang clang clang~'

"..."

"Ahhhh! Yun Qingyang, what are you doing!" Ma Feifei yanked the blanket off her head and shouted loudly.

This mother dragon is simply insane! Instead of Rest at night, she's been tossing and turning in the yard, Ma Feifei has been annoyed for a full ten minutes!

'Pfft~'

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh silenced the chickens outside.

The door creaked open.

'Clang, clang, crash!' The sound of a bowl shattering.

The sound of flowing water, "Splash, splash."

Ma Feifei went completely mad, got up, opened the door, and walked out.

"Can you explain to me what it means to disturb the neighbors so late at night instead of Rest?" Ma Feifei looked at the mess in the yard and said helplessly to Yun Qingyang, who was squatting by the well.

At this moment, Yun Qingyang Zhengyi the chicken's body with one hand and pinching its head with the other. Bright red blood flowed down from the chicken's neck and into the bowl.

Upon hearing Ma Feifei's question, Yun Qingyang replied mysteriously, "I'm learning a spell."

"Are you crazy? Killing a chicken to learn magic in the middle of the night? What kind of magic?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but complain. But as soon as she finished speaking, Ma Feifei paused, looking at Yun Qingyang's actions, and asked, "Learn magic? Do you even know what magic is?"

Yun Qingyang nodded and said, "I know."

Ma Feifei thought for a moment and asked, "Did you learn it from 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio from a Chinese Studio'?"

Yun Qingyang nodded again and said, "Yes, the book says that there are many supernatural creatures in this world that we can't see. The book calls them ghosts and monsters. It is said that they are people who refuse to be reincarnated after they die, and then wander in the world as vengeful ghosts to harm people. I wanted to see if what the book said was true, so I learned a spell recorded in the book. It says that you can draw a talisman with chicken blood and then you can see those strange things that you can't see normally."

Ma Feifei was stunned after hearing Yun Qingyang's words.

"Could it be that I encountered a ghost because I suddenly had that strange feeling last night?" Ma Feifei wondered to himself.

Suddenly, Ma Feifei remembered overhearing the group of cultivators discussing the mysterious death of a cultivator at the Yihong Tower last night.

"Could it be that the ghosts and monsters from the book have come out of the book?" Ma Feifei was a little worried.

If it really were a ghost or monster from a book that came out of the book, then that would be hilarious.

Based on the strength calculation of that cultivator at Yihong Tower, the fact that a cultivator at the Spirit King realm could have their heart emptied without any apparent reason, and without discovering the presence of an enemy, proves that the ghost's strength exceeds that of the Spirit King realm. This also means that if things are really as Ma Feifei thinks, the entire Dubian Town may be plunged into crisis.

Because, cultivators at or below the Spirit King of Spirit King in Dubian Town make up 99% of the base.

Moreover, there are too many ghosts and monsters in *Strange Tales from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio *...

God knows how many escaped...
