The female ghost's terrifying face, with its dead-fish-like eyes, sent a chill down our spines.
This must be the "sister" the ghost mentioned.
And the vengeful spirit haunting this Kang Kang factory.
"White eyes, this ghost has reached the Yellow Robe level," Chen Ge exclaimed in horror.
Vengeful spirits with white eyes are more ferocious than those with black eyes.
It also signifies a Yellow Robe level vengeful spirit.
Their weakest strength is at the Qi Gathering middle stage.
Yet, only Mo Ting and I have reached the early Qi Gathering stage.
Brother Chen, while knowing a trick or two, can at most open a spring eye. His own cultivation is practically negligible.
No wonder we couldn't break through the ghost's illusionary wall.
It turns out her strength was far superior to ours.
Perhaps even reaching the late Qi Gathering stage or beyond…
Ghosts become vengeful spirits.
Often due to lingering obsessions and grievances, leading to resentment after death, ultimately transforming them into vengeful spirits.
The female ghost said she wanted to guard the factory and kill those scumbags and beasts.
Since we're here now, it's inevitable we'll cross paths with this female ghost.
A life-and-death battle might ensue.
Before we engage, let's see if we can extract some valuable information from her.
For instance, what is her obsession?
If we know that, perhaps we can find a way to help her.
Try to guide her to reincarnation.
Of course, the chances are slim and it's difficult.
But trying is better than doing nothing.
"Are there that many beasts in this factory?" I asked tentatively.
"Many, too many. Those who are worse than beasts all deserve to die, deserve to die…"
The female ghost said ferociously, her body trembling.
The angrier she became, the more prominent the red blood vessels on her face appeared, making her look even more terrifying.
"Could your death be related to those beasts?"
In her enraged state:
"Of course, it was him, them, who defiled me and killed me.
I want to kill them, kill them…"
"Defiled?"
I frowned. Mo Ting and Brother Chen also darkened their expressions.
This suggests the female ghost was indeed violated in life.
Given that the ghost has been confined to this warehouse, it can be inferred that she died here after being violated.
Because of the torment she suffered in life, her resentment festered after death, turning her into a vengeful spirit.
She has since roamed this warehouse building.
Killing those she deems deserving of death.
Thinking this, I spoke again:
"Madam, you can provide us with clues.
We can report to the police and bring those who wronged you to justice.
Living like this will only lead you to a life of pain and hatred.
Why not listen to us? We can help you reincarnate."
I spoke with sincere conviction.
Hearing the word "reincarnate," the female ghost paused, her ferocious expression seeming to soften slightly.
Seeing this, Brother Chen and Old Mo's eyes lit up.
They both spoke to me:
"Xiao Qin seems to have an effect, keep talking about reincarnation!"
"Brother Qin, guiding her might work, put in more effort."
As they spoke, both of them set down their spiritual artifacts.
This made their demeanor less likely to provoke her…
"Reincarnate?"
"Yes, reincarnate, Madam. We are Taoist priests.
We can help you reincarnate.
The cycle of heaven's will dictates that those who wronged you will receive their due punishment."
I softened my voice, attempting to persuade her.
However, the female ghost had already become a vengeful spirit.
Her mind had been corrupted over many years.
Although she was moved by my words, could a few sentences truly sway her?
She became muddled and quiet for a moment.
But the next second, the female ghost let out a chilling giggle, her face contorting into a ferocious grimace:
"No need.
They've all been killed by me!
Reincarnate? Why would I reincarnate?
You, you are accomplices.
Yes, you must be accomplices…"
The female ghost's emotions shifted dramatically.
She had been quite calm just moments ago, but now she became agitated.
And extremely excited.
"No, we are Taoist priests. We are here to help you."
I continued, trying to placate her.
But the female ghost could no longer listen:
"No, you are accomplices!
You came here to harm me and my sister.
Die, you must die…"
As she spoke, the female ghost, like a maddened beast,
Was engulfed in black energy, her malevolent aura surging.
She revealed her ferocious face and sharp fangs.
For a vengeful spirit that had lost its reason, explanations seemed utterly useless.
With a fierce roar,
The female ghost raised her spectral claws and lunged at the three of us.
"Damn it, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit," Old Mo cursed vehemently.
Brother Chen also raised an eyebrow:
"Everyone, be careful!"
At this point, we could only fight back.
"Hmph!"
I let out a low growl, raising my peach wood sword to meet her.
The female ghost's speed was incredibly fast.
With a single flash, she was upon us.
Raising her sharp claws, she swept towards Mo Ting and me.
We dared not be careless.
This was a Yellow Robe level vengeful spirit; neither Mo Ting nor I could match her in a one-on-one fight.
We couldn't afford any complacency now.
Unleashing our full cultivation, we prepared to face her head-on.
With a resounding "bang," her spectral claws struck my peach wood sword. I felt a surge of immense force.
It numbed my hand, and my body was sent staggering backward. Her strength felt significantly greater than ours.
This ghost had definitely reached the late Qi Gathering stage in cultivation.
Otherwise, she wouldn't possess such formidable power.
Mo Ting experienced the same.
He almost dropped the peach wood axe in his hand.
Not only that, after her initial strike, the female ghost lunged forward again.
Her entire body radiated a malevolent aura, causing our hearts to pound and our breathing to become labored.
The female ghost's pounce was incredibly swift.
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of me.
She let out a fierce roar that made my ears ring.
Furthermore, before I could react,
She opened her gaping maw and lunged to bite my neck…
