The Mad Azure Sky Ghost Venerable

"Boom!"

A corner of the great hall before the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable was sliced away, allowing the bright moonlight to spill in and illuminate the gloomy interior.

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's graceful face was filled with disbelief; her pupils constricted sharply, and she stood frozen on the spot.

How is this possible?

Her two strongest ghost generals had been insta-killed just like that?

Even she could not kill the Great General Iron Head Ghost with a single blow.

And what in the world was that immense aura of mana?

The mana released in that single strike must have been equal to the total sum of an ordinary Solid Core stage cultivator, right?

What kind of background did this person have?

Was he human or ghost? Do humans even fight like this?

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable had seen many Taoists and monks; they all followed methods and procedures when subduing demons, some even trying to talk to ghosts, using reason and emotion to convert them.

But what was the deal with this man who looked like a god descending from the heavens?

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable was dumbfounded; she was completely rattled.

Fei Luo's strangeness far exceeded her understanding; despite having lived for over a hundred years, this was the first time she had ever encountered such a freak.

Boom!

Immediately following, a sea of scorching flames appeared within the Ghost Mansion, and a chorus of miserable screams erupted in unison.

Heavenly Fire Incantation.

Fei Luo stood upon the back of the Green Bird, his chest heaving as he exhaled gently toward the Ghost Mansion below.

"Lord Ghost Venerable, help us!"

"Ah!"

"No, I don't want to die!"

"..."

The shrill screams followed the brief silence, deeply grating on the nerves of the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable.

Suddenly, the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable rose to her feet; she knew that if she didn't act now, her Ghost Mansion would be destroyed in an instant.

She tucked the crystal ball in her hand into her sleeve, her body vanishing into the Ghost Mansion like a phantom.

"Human, since you seek death, I shall grant your wish."

A voice as chilling as ten-thousand-year-old ice rang out. The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable flicked her sleeve, and a Yin wind that swept through the entire mansion emerged, filled with a bone-piercing chill that instantly extinguished the sky-filling flames.

"Young Master, watch out." In the eyes of the Green Bird, the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable had vanished the moment she extinguished the flames, reappearing right in front of her.

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable held a crimson longsword in her hand—her ghost artifact.

"Green Bird, hide well. I'll go meet him."

Fei Luo spoke, pushing off with his feet to soar into the air, the edge of his Flowing Cloud Sword shifting.

Wind Chaser!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several blinding sword beams appeared, locking onto the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's entire body and slashing toward her.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's expression was grave; her ghost artifact only managed to deflect a few of the beams, and one still slashed into her body.

With a "rip," the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable narrowly avoided Fei Luo's strike, but half of her red dress was sliced away, revealing her jade-like physique.

Under the moonlight, through the torn dress, half of the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's body was fully exposed, the high mounds beneath her small red bodice appearing in glimpses.

"Hahaha~" Fei Luo laughed toward the sky as he descended toward the ground.

Fei Luo could not fly, and fighting while standing on the Green Bird was inconvenient; having feasted his eyes, he wore an inexplicable smile.

The Green Bird felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes filled with adoration.

Was the Young Master showing concern for her?

By telling her to stay away from the center of the battle?

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's exposure was not only seen by Fei Luo, but by the countless ghosts on the ground as well.

"Human! I will gouge out your eyes and slice you into a thousand pieces!"

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable realized her loss of composure, and hearing Fei Luo's mocking laughter, her face twisted into a hideous, distorted mask.

How many years had it been?

Ever since she became a vengeful ghost, her body had never been seen by an outsider.

Even her own subordinates usually communicated from outside the hall.

She had suffered inhuman treatment while she was alive because of this very skin, and it remained a permanent, aching wound in the heart of the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable.

Even after becoming a Ghost Venerable and reaching a terrifying level of cultivation, she would often recall the experiences of her past life.

She had once sworn a solemn oath that becoming a vengeful spirit was her rebirth.

In the future, when she resurrected her husband, she would offer her pristine body—the one she had kept as a vengeful spirit—to him, for he alone was worthy of seeing it.

Yet now, this detestable human had seen most of her body?

This incident struck a nerve with Azure Sky Ghost Venerable, driving her rage to its absolute peak.

"Rip!"

Azure Sky Ghost Venerable tore a strip of fabric from her wide sleeve and instantly tied it around her waist, covering much of the exposed view.

However, her jade-like legs remained bare.

With a "whoosh," Azure Sky Ghost Venerable unleashed a burst of ghost energy from her hand, forming a palm print that struck the mansion below.

Her target for this strike was not Fei Luo.

It was the ghosts below who had seen her body.

She knew such an attack could not deal with Fei Luo, but as for these ghosts who had seen her, not a single one would be left alive today!

"No, Your Excellency Ghost Venerable, spare us!"

"Ah!"

"Run! This madwoman has lost her mind!"

"She's just a piece of trash anyway. Bo Yi was already smashed to bits by bandits, so what's with the high-and-mighty act? I—"

"Damn it! Ghost Venerable, I—"

Facing the attack of Azure Sky Ghost Venerable, many ghosts were instantly reduced to ashes in their despair.

The remaining ghosts, seeing this, revealed their vicious nature and began spewing filth.

Most of these ghosts had only submitted to her out of fear of her strength.

They knew a thing or two about Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's past in private, and seeing her turn on them so ruthlessly, they grew desperate.

Seeing this scene and hearing these foul insults, Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's complexion turned a bruised purple.

"You..."

"How dare you...?"

Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's eyes glowed red, her robes billowed without wind, and her long, slender jade legs were fully exposed. Her dark hair whipped high behind her, and a frigid killing intent caused the temperature to plummet, biting and bone-chilling, as if she were a female Asura.

"This Seat has protected you for years, yet you are such disgusting, filthy wretches! Die!" Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's eyes looked bloodshot, and black veins appeared on her fair face, spreading down to her neck.

Her figure vanished, turning into a ghostly wind that continuously reaped the lives of the many subordinates within the Ghost Mansion.

These subordinates who had once revered her.

These subordinates who, faced with death, had torn open her old wounds and insulted her.

It reminded her of the scenes of her defilement in her past life; she had truly gone mad.

This scene not only caused Azure Sky Ghost Venerable to lose her reason, but even Fei Luo and the distant Green Bird, the two Underworld Envoys, were slightly stunned.

Fei Luo watched Azure Sky Ghost Venerable, who acted like a mad demon as she slaughtered the vengeful spirits, and fell into a momentary silence.

This woman was, after all, a tragic soul.

Fei Luo did not take advantage of her state, nor did he disdain to do so; he simply watched quietly as Azure Sky Ghost Venerable slaughtered the ghosts.
