The Chaos Stone That Automatically Generated Spiritual Qi, a Secret Intervention
Outside the temple, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with torrential rain lashing down in a fierce wind; inside, however, the atmosphere was completely different, exuding a vibrant and lively ambiance.
The two vengeful ghosts were soaked by the rain, their clothes clinging tightly to their bodies, their silhouettes appearing and disappearing in the dim light.
The female ghost had seductive eyes and an incredibly alluring appearance, constantly tempting the men in the temple and igniting their lust.
The male ghost wasn't idle either; he was also constantly displaying his charm, focusing his gaze on the two remaining women in the temple and flirting with them in every way.
Looking at the scene before him, Liu Yi was filled with surprise and confusion.
These two vengeful ghosts clearly have the ability to directly bewitch people with their ghostly arts or directly absorb their yang energy, so why do they choose to lure people in this way, just like ordinary men and women?
However, he had to admit that these two vengeful ghosts were indeed powerful.
Even without using any ghost magic, everyone in the temple except him and the woman in green was already aroused, their eyes glazed over, and they were almost unable to resist pouncing on him.
What bothered him even more was that a smile appeared on the woman in green's face, as if she had already confirmed the identities of the two vengeful ghosts.
He pressed his hand to the ground, and a surge of True Power quietly enveloped the temple, preventing them from damaging it or injuring others when they fought.
The excitement on Su Yuxuan's face was not because she was bewitched by the male ghost, but because she was certain that the two vengeful ghosts in front of her were the targets she was looking for.
In her previous life, she had heard that Zhu Yizhou, while chasing two vengeful ghosts, accidentally stumbled into a haunted den.
By fortuitous opportunity, he obtained a token, which he later used to enter a secret realm, where he gained a tremendous fortuitous opportunity and his strength soared to new heights.
Moreover, he also obtained a Chaos Stone that could automatically generate Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
When she learned of the news, she specifically searched for the token and entered the secret realm three times. Although she obtained some treasures, she did not receive any great fortuitous opportunity.
In this life, she deliberately arrived before Zhu Yizhou to intercept that token.
Once he's strong enough, he'll enter the secret realm, hoping to seize the fortuitous opportunity that should have belonged to Zhu Yizhou.
Even if we can't seize the fortuitous opportunity from him, we must prevent him from entering the secret realm.
It's a pity that Bai Qianqian didn't come with her this time; otherwise, her chances of obtaining the token would have been much greater.
However, the two vengeful ghosts before them were comparable to those at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Having just broken through to the Early Stage of the Dao Image Realm, I am not yet familiar with the combat style of martial arts practitioners, and a head-on confrontation is definitely not the best strategy.
It's best to ambush and kill one of the vengeful ghosts first, so that you can then easily track down the remaining one.
Having made up her mind, Su Yuxuan immediately pretended to be bewitched by the male ghost, stood up with a dazed look in her eyes, and walked towards him step by step.
As she approached, a sharp glint appeared in her eyes, and her restrained aura erupted instantly, followed by a powerful palm strike.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, the male ghost was struck and coughed up a mouthful of black ghost blood, letting out a shrill scream as his body flew backwards out of the temple.
Su Yuxuan didn't stop, her graceful movements were swift and agile.
Her palms danced swiftly in front of her like butterflies flitting among flowers, the layers of palm shadows shifting unpredictably, carrying a sharp gust of wind straight toward the male ghost.
The male ghost retreated rapidly to avoid the attack, his injured ghost body becoming ethereal, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.
This sudden turn of events instantly jolted everyone awake from their daze of lust.
Seeing her companion's tragic state, the female ghost on the other side was filled with rage and screamed:
"What a cunning girl! I never knew you were a cultivator. But since you dared to injure Mo Xin, you will pay with your life today!"
Before she could finish speaking, the female ghost's ten fingers transformed into ghostly claws, carrying a chilling, eerie aura, and lunged straight at Su Yuxuan's face.
"Hmph, two vengeful ghosts dare to haunt me? Today, I'll make sure you don't leave alive."
With a flick of her wrist, Su Yuxuan grasped a spirit sword and immediately slashed fiercely at the ghost claw.
A sharp sword light suddenly appeared, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, instantly illuminating the dim temple.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, a sharp sword light, carrying an intimidating edge, severed the female ghost's claws.
Black ghost blood splattered everywhere, and the female ghost, in pain, let out a heart-wrenching, shrill scream.
Seeing Su Yuxuan's sword strike rise again, the female ghost's face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly screamed:
"Mo Xin! We're no match for them, retreat now!"
Before she could finish speaking, she had already flashed away, transforming into a black shadow, and dashed straight out into the raging storm outside the temple.
Seeing the female ghost flee, Mo Xin disregarded his own injured ghostly body and desperately channeled his ghostly energy, staggering as he chased after her.
Su Yuxuan's eyes flashed with anger, and she swung her sword again, her sword intent soaring into the sky. The sharp sword light caught up with Mo Xin in an instant.
Already severely injured, it only had time to let out a short, miserable scream before being completely annihilated by the sword light, its soul scattered and its spirit dispersed.
Upon seeing Mo Xin's body and soul annihilated, the female ghost in front increased her speed to the extreme, transforming into a blur as she frantically fled into the distance.
Su Yuxuan watched the male ghost disappear in the sword light, a smile flitting across her face.
She glanced in Liu Yi's direction, then her figure blurred, transforming into a green shadow, and chased after the female ghost in the direction she had fled.
She was determined to follow the female ghost to their lair and retrieve the token.
Moreover, it would be perfectly reasonable for him to hunt down the female ghost, allowing him to keep Liu Yi from discovering his true intentions.
Liu Yi watched the scene unfold. From Su Yuxuan's sneak attack on the male ghost to his annihilation and the final pursuit of the female ghost, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Although Su Yuxuan had intentionally suppressed the power and range of her attack, the aftershocks of their exchange were enough to instantly destroy the temple.
Fortunately, he was prepared and secretly neutralized the aftershocks of the attack, thus saving the temple and protecting the others.
Little Yellow, standing to the side, was so shocked by the sudden turn of events that he was speechless.
It had no idea that this unassuming, dilapidated temple would harbor a martial artist at the Dao Image Realm, and it quickly used its Divine Sense to transmit its message:
"Master, that female ghost has run away, why didn't you kill her?"
Liu Yi glanced at it and responded Divine Sense:
"If I intervene, I'll only be doing more harm than good. That woman in green was after these two vengeful ghosts."
"Oh, I see!"
Little Yellow suddenly realized, then shook his head in confusion:
"But she's just a martial arts practitioner, why would she want to find these two vengeful ghosts? I really can't figure it out."
Mind your own business, lest you invite trouble.
Liu Yi's gaze had already shifted to the rest of the people inside the temple.
They had just recovered from the shock of what had just happened, trembling with fear, muttering to themselves:
"That was close! Thank goodness that female immortal intervened, otherwise we'd all be dead here today."
"Yes! That female immortal is amazing. She destroyed one evil spirit in the blink of an eye, and now she's chasing after another one."
"I'd often heard people say that there were vengeful ghosts around here, luring passersby. I was always skeptical, but I never expected to actually run into one today."
"I had heard this rumor before, but I always thought it was just something someone made up. Now it seems to be true."
I've also heard that many immortal masters came here specifically to exorcise ghosts, but they all mysteriously disappeared in the end.
I wonder if that female immortal was able to successfully slay the vengeful ghost and return safely.
"Heavens above, please bless the female immortal so she can successfully slay the vengeful ghost."
