"Who's there!"
The Pavilion Chief asked, sounding a little nervous.
But the person outside merely replied calmly, "It's me!"
"It's the Station Chief."
Ye Qianfan recognized the Station Chief's voice and hurriedly peered through the gap in the door.
However...
What he saw was not the Station Chief at all.
It was a Human-Skin Ghost standing before the door, trying to open it!
"So the chief is back. Let me open the door."
With that, the Pavilion Chief reached for the bolt, ready to open the wooden door they had only just managed to shut and let the Station Chief inside!
Ye Qianfan hurriedly pressed hard against the door. "Don't open it! That's not the Station Chief outside. It's a human skin!"
"Impossible!"
The Pavilion Chief shook his head. "As long as the Door God is here, those human skins can't approach the Courtyard House. Otherwise—aah!"
Whoosh!
Before the Pavilion Chief could finish, a sword blade gleaming with cold light thrust straight through the gap in the door.
The Pavilion Chief went deathly pale with fright and collapsed onto the ground!
Ye Qianfan, on the other hand...
The moment he saw that blade, he hurriedly pulled back the bolt and welcomed the person outside in!
He had instantly recognized the sword thrust through the gap as a Nuo Master's sword. He had one, and so did the Station Chief!
Human-Skin Ghosts were already monstrous enough!
If they were given swords too, how was anyone supposed to survive?
"Yeeaah!"
The instant he pulled open the large wooden door...
Ye Qianfan saw the Station Chief cleave the Human-Skin Ghost in two with a single stroke. The reason it had appeared right in the middle of the door gap was that the Station Chief had pinned it to the door with his sword
