The Mad Azure Sky Ghost Venerable

Boom!

One corner of the great hall before the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable was sliced away. The bright moonlight spilled into the hall, illuminating its gloomy interior.

Her delicate face was filled with disbelief. Her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she froze in place.

How was this possible?

How had the two strongest Ghost Generals under her command been killed in an instant?

General Iron Head Ghost— even she couldn't kill him with a single strike.

And what was that incredibly powerful aura of magical energy?

The magical energy released in that one attack was probably equal to the combined total of an ordinary cultivator in the True Core stage, wasn't it?

Who was this man?

Was he human or ghost? Did humans really fight like this?

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable had seen plenty of Daoists and monks. When they subdued demons and exorcised ghosts, they always had their methods. Some would even talk things through with ghosts, appealing to their feelings and reasoning with them to guide them toward enlightenment.

But what was this man before her, who looked like a celestial god?

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable was dumbfounded, her thoughts in disarray.

Fei Luo's strangeness far exceeded her understanding. Though she had lived for over a hundred years, encountering such an oddity as Fei Luo was a first for her.

Boom!

Immediately afterward, a mass of scorching flames appeared within the Azure Sky Ghost Mansion, and screams rose in an endless chorus.

Heavenly Fire Incantation.

Fei Luo stood atop the Green Bird, his chest puffed out as he gently blew toward the Ghost Mansion below.

"Lord Ghost Venerable, save me!"

"Ah!"

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

"..."

After a brief silence, shrill screams came one after another, deeply grating on the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's nerves.

Suddenly, the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable rose to her feet. She knew that if she didn't act soon, her Ghost Mansion would be destroyed.

She tucked the crystal ball in her hand into her sleeve, then vanished from the Ghost Mansion like a ghost.

"Human, since you're asking to die, I'll grant your wish."

A voice as sinister as ten-thousand-year-old ice rang out. The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable swept her sleeve, sending a freezing gale surging through the entire Ghost Mansion. It was bone-chillingly cold, and the flames blanketing the area were extinguished in an instant.

"Young Master, be careful." In the Green Bird's eyes, the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable had vanished the instant she appeared after putting out the flames. When she appeared again, she was already right in front of the Green Bird.

In the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's hand was a crimson longsword—her ghostly artifact.

"Green Bird, stay back. I'll deal with her."

Fei Luo spoke, then pushed off with his foot and soared into the air, turning the blade of the Flowing Cloud Sword in his hand.

Wind Chaser!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several blinding sword arcs appeared, locking onto the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable and slashing toward her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's expression was grave. Her ghostly artifact knocked aside several of the sword arcs, but one still struck her body.

With a ripping sound, she narrowly dodged Fei Luo's sword. Half of her red dress was sliced away, revealing her jade-like body.

In the moonlight, her exposed half was visible through the torn dress, and the pair of proud curves beneath her red belly band were faintly discernible.

"Hahaha!" Fei Luo threw his head back and laughed as he descended toward the ground.

Fei Luo couldn't fly, and fighting while standing on the Green Bird was rather inconvenient. Now that he'd gotten such a good look, an inscrutable smile appeared on his face.

The Green Bird beside him felt warm inside, her eyes full of admiration.

Was the young master concerned about her?

Was he keeping her away from the center of the fight?

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's alluring figure had been exposed, and Fei Luo wasn't the only one who saw it. Countless ghosts on the ground saw it too.

"Human! I'll gouge out your eyes and cut you into a thousand pieces!"

Realizing how she had exposed herself, the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable heard Fei Luo's teasing laughter, and her face twisted into a hideous scowl.

How many years had it been?

Ever since she had become a vengeful ghost, no outsider had ever seen her body.

Even her own subordinates usually spoke to her from outside the hall.

She had suffered inhuman treatment in life, all because of this body. It was the pain she would carry forever.

Even after becoming a Ghost Venerable and reaching a level of power that inspired terror, she still often thought of what she had suffered in life.

She had sworn a solemn oath: becoming a vengeful ghost was her rebirth.

When she revived her husband one day, she would give him her untouched body as a vengeful ghost. Only her husband would ever be allowed to see her body.

But now, this wretched human had seen nearly all of her body!

The incident struck a nerve with the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable, driving her fury to its peak.

Rrrip!

The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable tore a strip of cloth from her wide sleeve and, in an instant, tied it around her waist, concealing much of her exposed figure.

But her jade-like legs remained bare.

With a whoosh, ghostly energy shot from her hand, forming a palm that struck toward the mansion below.

Her target wasn't Fei Luo.

It was the ghosts below who had seen her body.

She knew an attack like this wouldn't work against Fei Luo, but not one of the ghosts who had seen her body would be allowed to survive today!

"No, Your Excellency, spare us!"

"Ah!"

"Run! That madwoman's lost it!"

"She's always been a whore. Bo Yi got smashed to pieces by bandits, and now she wants to act all high and mighty? I'll f***—"

"Damn it! Ghost Venerable, I'll f***—"

Faced with the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's attack, many ghosts turned to ash in an instant, consumed by despair.

Seeing this, the remaining ghosts bared their fangs and began hurling curses.

Most of them had submitted to the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable only because of her strength.

They also knew a little about her past. Now, seeing her turn on them without a second thought, they panicked too.

At the sight of this, and hearing those filthy insults, the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's face turned purplish blue.

"You..."

"How dare you...?"

Red light blazed in the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's eyes. Her robes billowed in a windless gust, and her long jade legs were now completely exposed. The blue-black strands behind her head streamed upward as her icy killing intent sent the temperature plunging. The air turned bone-chillingly cold, and she looked like a female asura.

"I protected you for years, and you turn out to be such vile, filthy creatures. Die!" The Azure Sky Ghost Venerable's eyes were bloodshot. Black markings appeared on her pale face and spread down to her neck.

She vanished, turning into a gust of dark wind that relentlessly reaped the many subordinates inside the Ghost Mansion.

These were the subordinates who had once revered her.

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

They brought back the sight of her being violated in life.

She had gone mad.

This scene left not only the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable bereft of reason, but Fei Luo and the Green Bird, the two Underworld Envoys in the distance, momentarily stunned as well.

Watching the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable, seemingly possessed by madness, slaughter the vengeful ghosts one after another, Fei Luo fell silent.

In the end, she was a woman with a tragic fate.

Fei Luo didn't take advantage of her while she was down. He disdained doing such a thing and simply watched in silence as the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable killed the ghosts.
