Spirit 1609 Human Form 3

down my spine and took a few steps back in fear.Cheng Banxian looked up at me, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Your constitution is indeed special. You can actually sense the sinister aura a...Seven Lords... White Impermanence...

Hearing this long-lost voice, I was a little dazed.

Bai Wu Chang hasn't appeared in a while, has he Is it because I can't handle him

"Hee hee~~ The Emperor doesn't trust you taking the little Emperor out into the world, so he has ordered all City Gods to secretly watch over you during your travels. If there are any problems or difficulties, report them immediately~~~" Bai Wu Chang smiled at me, still holding his soul-summoning paper in his hand, shaking it back and forth.

The little demon who came to report earlier was intercepted by me in front of the Imperial Court. Thinking that I hadn't seen the little Lady for a long time, I figured I'd come take a look and see if her cultivation had improved. ~~~

Is that so...

I smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Seventh Grandfather. It's just that Jiang Qiyun is very busy now. You wouldn't want him to be distracted by these trivial matters of the mortal world, would you"

Bai Wuchang, with a face as cold as freshly fallen snow, his eyebrows arched high and lips curled into a chilling smile, said, “Hee hee~ Little Lady has been to the Demon Realm for a while, hasn't she You seem to have become much more enlightened…”

The words "Demon Realm" felt like a stone pressing down on my head. Just hearing them gave me a sense of heaviness.

Seeing Bai Wu's distress, I felt a surge of amusement and chuckled gleefully: "Little Madam~~ What stories lie behind these people We'll unravel them later~~ Don't let them hurt you..."

He coldly glanced at Zhang Fatty who was struggling to get up on the ground, his eyes turning icy.

Ba Wu Chang's smile held many meanings.

Those who know him well may not be able to guess.

But he didn't smile, which definitely meant something was very, very wrong.

Zhang Fatzi was hit hard on the bridge of his nose by Zi Xiao Ruyi, his nostrils bleeding and his eyes seeing stars. He looked at me with fear and madness in his gaze.

He was just about to pounce on me when Bai Wu Chang, with his slender fingers, lightly tapped him with the summoning scroll.

Zhang Fatty's body seemed to be pierced by ice, his expression dazed and trembling in place.

I didn't dare waste this good opportunity. I raised my hand and slapped the five Lei Fu from the Shen family on all four sides, leaving Tian Lei in the middle.

Shenxiao Jade Mansion

"— Five Thunder of Heaven's Mandate."

Before I could finish my silent recitation, You Nan beside me had already taken the lead and grasped the Thunder Seal.

Boom!

I always thought Younan's Lei Jue was enough to give ghosts a fright, but it turned out that the power of this Lei Jue directly blasted a huge hole in the entire floor of this small building!

Even the layer below was split open, and a black qi seeped out from the hole in the ground!

Yunan was also a little surprised, looking at the small hand at a loss.

"Hee hee~ Little Empress and Young Master are working well together, aren't they" Bai WuChang stretched out his slender hand and patted You Nan's head.

Yu Nan was still very respectful to him, immediately stood with his hands behind his back, and was picked up by Bai Wu Chang and placed on his shoulders.

"Little Lord, let's go check out the black hole below. ~ I'll leave this to Little Madam~." He took Younan and drifted down.

Before me, a gaping hole gapes open. The floor and the tattered fur are torn to shreds.

Liu Feifei's upper body was on the edge of the pit opposite, and inside the house behind her, Zheng Daochang was still hiding behind the black door.

I can't jump over it.

That translucent snake, curled up and hiding in the corner across from it, was reluctant to get close to the edge of the pit—the aura of the Heavenly Five Thunderstorms still lingered.

Liu Feifei's body slowly slid to the edge of the pit and suddenly, with a torn piece of fur, she tumbled headfirst into it!

The floor below was also pierced, directly splitting open the basement. Zhang Fatty looked and screamed in horror, turning around and running down to save Liu Feifei.

The smoke gradually settled, and Zhang Fatty's ghostly cries seemed to be getting farther away.

I stood still, forming a triangle with Zheng Daochang and the transparent snake monster on the remaining floorboards.

"Xiao Qiao... Your lightning technique is still so sharp... This Zijiao Ruyi... is still the most beautiful in your hands..." Zheng Daochang's voice was somewhat mournful.

His tone, how does it seem so familiar with the Five Thunder Method and the Purple Cloud Wish

I furrowed my brow. This was my old man's former arch-nemesis... must be because of what Mom did...

Imagine decades ago, my rough and tumble father eloped with the fairy-like heiress from the Shen family. Zheng Daochang, being a high-ranking elder of the inner sect at the time—a true elite—must have been seething with hatred when he saw his beloved young mistress snatched away by an up-and-coming nobody. This resentment drove him down a dark path.

"...Zheng Daochuan." I gripped the Zi Xiao Ruyi, trying to call out his name directly.

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened.

“Since your lifespan has come to an end and you have failed to cultivate the Tao, you should accept reincarnation. You linger here, foolishly attempting to protect yourself with anger and become a ghost immortal. This is the lowest form of cultivation. As a member of the Xuanmen, why are you so obsessed” My voice was firm behind me, right at the edge of the Ghost Gate.

But I don't want to let him go just yet. There are still a lot of unknowns here, and I need him to tell me more.

“Xiao Qiao, I have long since lost the heart to cultivate… Seeing you every day, and suddenly not seeing you every day…”

"Even upon hearing of your sudden passing, my spirit is scattered and I am lost in a haze, unsure how to go on with life... I want you to come back to me. I need to know where you went, where I should seek your trace..."

But you are like a gust of wind, leaving no trace behind. No matter how I consult the gods and oracles, even seeking out secret sorcerers to read my fate, or venturing overseas—

Overseas

"As I expected, he didn't lie to me...I can really see you again here..." Zheng Daozhang's voice was tinged with a trace of sadness.

"Things are different now, seeing you again wouldn't change anything. Mom... would she even recognize you like this" I asked, frowning and speaking softly.

Zheng Daozhang was silent. My gaze fell on the transparent serpent-like creature lurking nearby, and I secretly pointed my sword towards it, on guard.

"This monster is your disciple Called Moli... What exactly are you trying to do" I was a bit angry, thinking about how he manipulated the souls of the living.

"Disciple Hahahaha... This isn't, the thing of that stupid woman from back then, is it..."

What what Stupid woman

What grudges and behind-the-scenes stories are there here

"This snake monster, it wants to eat me, doesn't it!" Zheng Daochang said fiercely: "The woman who just came in, she is a living human-shaped spirit! Back when I was overseas, I saw this kind of magic before!"

Liu Feifei, a living yokai

"Do you want to know... Xiao Qiao... I left all of this for you... Go to the basement and look around, these years of things happened, I recorded them all in my last few years of life, that diary is buried inside..." Zheng Daochang's voice seemed a little weak.

"Xiao Qiao... you are still the Xiao Qiao of yore... but I have become... a earthbound spirit... Xiao Qiao... don't send me off... let me look at you a little longer..."

I furrowed my brow. This Zheng Daochang is acquainted with my mother. Should I try to absolve him of his sins

I hesitated here, and on the other side, that translucent giant serpent, taking advantage of the gradually disappearing celestial energy from the thunder talismans beside the pit, suddenly plunged down!

The white snake's shadow fell to the basement at the very bottom, where smoke and darkness engulfed the white figure.

Oh no, that snake —

Could it be that its purpose is the notes buried in the basement!

I turned around and was about to chase after him down the stairs, when a rustling sound suddenly came from Zheng Daochang's side. I looked back——, I was very down and felt why I was different from others.When others are sixteen or eighteen, they're so carefree and flamboyant. Even my brother lives a pretty sunny life.And I, was forced to open...
