Chapter 475: Chapter 464: Fierce Ghost
When Ye Qiu and her group arrived at the abandoned school in West Suburb, it was high noon. The scorching sun brought discomfort to the two ghosts. The Water Ghost, having cultivated a physical form, wasn’t much affected, but looked at Ye Qiu in amazement. At least when he had just become a ghost, he wouldn’t dare to walk under the sunlight so openly.
"If you don’t want to enter, then don’t. You’ve helped me enough already, I don’t want to bring you any trouble." Ye Qiu said, as she placed her palm towards Meng Huai’s forehead and imparted a suitable Cultivation Technique to him.
Feeling the Cultivation Technique suddenly appearing in his mind, Meng Huai stared at Ye Qiu dumbfounded, stammering, "You... were you a cultivator before?"
"No."
"Then how do you know these miraculous methods that only appear in novels?" Meng Huai was truly curious. Ye Qiu didn’t know this a few days ago. When did she have such an extraordinary adventure?
"Don’t ask anymore, I won’t tell you." With that, she leaped into the school grounds with a strange atmosphere. Meng Huai, teeth gritted, eventually followed her in.
Ye Qiu stood in the schoolyard, sensing the peculiar atmosphere of the school. It wasn’t long before Meng Huai also appeared beside her.
"Why did you come in too?"
"You have imparted the Cultivation Technique to me, how could I let you take risks alone?" Meng Huai said with an indifferent smile, vigilantly surveying their surroundings.
He was also a ghost, but the atmosphere here made him extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, about a dozen students appeared around them. Clearly dead for many years, their eyes lacked any luster as they slowly surrounded Ye Qiu and Meng Huai.
"They seem to be controlled."
"It’s the principal and the teachers over there." Ye Qiu’s gaze shifted over, as a male principal led a group of ghostly figures resembling teachers, standing in front of the teaching building with an unfriendly look towards them.
At this moment, the abandoned school was beginning to change slowly, bit by bit returning to its state before abandonment. Just like when they were alive, the student ghosts methodically returned to their classes.
"You shouldn’t have come here." The male ghost principal said so, then let out a sinister laugh, "But now that you’re here, you are all my students. Class is in session, what are you still standing around for?"
"Of course, to absorb your Ghost Energy." Ye Qiu was not afraid at all and raised her hand to charge forward.
Meng Huai panicked upon seeing Ye Qiu’s action; the principal and teachers looked far from ordinary, wasn’t this just courting death? So, he also rushed forward.
Ghosts can indeed kill ghosts. Seeing Ye Qiu and Meng Huai, these unruly students, the principal and teachers became angry. Their eyes instantly turned blood-red, and their faces turned an abnormal shade of pale green.
"Don’t come near me." Ye Qiu said this to Meng Huai, and when she landed among the principal and teachers, she began to operate the Cultivation Technique inside her body.
Meng Huai hesitated for a moment but ultimately listened to Ye Qiu’s words and stepped out of the area.
Just as he stepped back, a very strange change occurred around Ye Qiu. Countless streams of black Ghost Energy rushed towards her body, and her ghostly form swelled rapidly as if she was about to explode.
This was one of the Cultivation Techniques from the "Soul Power Technique." While it could quickly absorb Ghost Energy, it also greatly harmed the spirits being absorbed. A single misstep could lead to obliteration. Even if not dispersed, it would become a Fierce Ghost, never to reincarnate as a human again.
But what Ye Qiu feared least was precisely this. She couldn’t even control her own transmigration, so why worry about not reincarnating as a human? As for dispersing into the cosmos, that seemed unlikely.
System 001 understood her Host’s actions and figured she must have guessed something, so it shut its mouth and closed the panel. After all, it was just a small System; there wasn’t much it could do.
As time passed by seconds and minutes, the aura around Ye Qiu grew increasingly terrifying. Gradually, as the Ghost Energy of the principal and teachers weakened, the student ghosts also began to slowly regain clarity. Meng Huai led them to the edge of the school, away from Ye Qiu.
"Ah!" Ye Qiu let out a long howl, ejecting the principal and the teachers, whose Ghost Energy was now negligible.
"Ye Qiu." Meng Huai looked at Ye Qiu, hesitating to approach.
At the sound of his voice, Ye Qiu turned to look, causing Meng Huai to retreat several steps in fright, trembling and not daring to come closer.
At this moment, with the moon directly overhead, Divine Woman Liu in Green Lake District had already arranged the divine altar, and Chu Cheng and Song Jin stood nervously at the side, holding Amulets in their hands.
"There won’t be any danger, right?" Chu Cheng asked with a stiff expression.
"What’s there to fear? Ye Qiu is just a ghost who has just died; what can she really do?" Song Jin spoke dismissively, with a hint of excitement on her face.
Divine Woman Liu approached the altar, lit a yellow talisman, and, holding the Soul Summoning Bell, began to chant. Her aged body also started to dance nimbly.
"Ye Qiu, what’s wrong with you?" Meng Huai asked, seeing Ye Qiu’s body flicker on and off.
"Someone is summoning me," Ye Qiu said dangerously, her body still not fully saturated with Ghost Energy. Her face had turned completely blood red, and any slight movement she made could stir up a strong wind.
"They’re all yours," Ye Qiu pointed to the not yet fully dead principal and teachers.
Seeing this, the student ghosts each revealed their fangs and leaped forward with ferocious expressions on their faces.
Some of them had been tortured to death, others had been killed by these principals and teachers after they had turned into ghosts; all of them, without exception, shared deep hatred with them.
Moreover, because of the control of these principals and teachers, they couldn’t reincarnate even in death, forced to repeat the life they had before they died, day after day.
They all deserve to die! The principals and teachers all deserve to die!
"Come back, Ye Qiu, come back, Ye Qiu!" Divine Woman Liu’s ritual seemed to encounter resistance, and the Soul Summoning Bell in her hand rang faster.
"Ye Qiu, where are you going?" Watching Ye Qiu swiftly fly away, Meng Huai also gave chase, but it was a pity that he couldn’t quite catch up.
The sound of the Soul Summoning Bell got louder and louder, and gradually, a wind arose in the villa. Chu Cheng and Song Jin were blinded by the wind and didn’t notice Divine Woman Liu’s increasingly solemn expression.
"Ye... Ye Qiu." Suddenly, Chu Cheng opened his eyes, pointing to a spot and shouting in panic.
Song Jin was also startled by the sudden appearance of the ghostly figure, and then sharply rebuked Chu Cheng: "What’s the panic? Granny Liu is here, Ye Qiu can’t escape today."
"Chu Cheng, Song Jin, go to hell." Seeing the two of them, Ye Qiu forgot about the Divine Woman beside her and completely lost her sanity.
"Ah! Help, help!" Watching Ye Qiu pounce towards him, Chu Cheng screamed again in fright.
"What a Fierce Ghost, stop your evil deeds." Divine Woman Liu thrust the Peach Wood Sword towards Ye Qiu, "Today I shall carry out justice on Heaven’s behalf and take you in."
Ye Qiu paid no attention, her colossal ghostly body still pouncing towards Chu Cheng and Song Jin.
"You can’t hurt me." Song Jin, clutching an Amulet with a fierce look on her face, laughed heartily as she watched Divine Woman Liu’s Peach Wood Sword, "Go die, Ye Qiu."
