I was greatly startled!
Now that it was Sheng Shixun and Lu Ling coming out from the backyard, didn't it mean... didn't it prove that Si Jiangchen had lost?!
With the self - righteous nature of the Lord of Mount Tai, how could he possibly let Si Jiangchen, the "zombie bringing disaster to the world", go?!
"Si..."
I couldn't wait to rush through the door and run to the backyard to help Si Jiangchen.
However, at this moment, only Bai Yu and I were in the shop, and we were facing Sheng Shixun whose strength was unknown, as well as Lu Ling who had been suppressed in the Great Kuan Yin Temple for God knows how long. If I left and only Bai Yu was left, I was afraid that he would be outnumbered and have an accident. Then I would feel even more sorry for Granny Bai!
Thinking of this, I stopped my steps abruptly, grabbed a copper coin sword from the counter in the shop, and pointed it at Lu Ling, who had already returned to her original form.
Sheng Shixun squinted his eyes slightly at my sudden stop. He thrust the whisk in his hand forward to protect Lu Ling in front of him.
"Miss Du, Lu Ling is a poor soul. Please don't make things difficult for her."
Sheng Shixun hung his head, wearing a compassionate look on his face.
"Humph!"
Although I didn't know Lu Ling's past, just because she had harmed Lord Mu Yuan, who had once saved me, so badly, I couldn't feel the slightest bit of affection for her. "Pitiful people must have something hateful about them. If she were a good person, how could she have been suppressed under the Kuan Yin statue?!"
"That little bitch Lu Xiyu!"
When Lu Ling mentioned her niece, her hair even spread out ferociously like seaweed, flailing with her emotions. "She instigated her man to kill me and suppress me for so long!"
"How vicious must you be to turn your relatives against you?!"
I always take my own side rather than seek justice. I would never think from the enemy's perspective. No matter how pitiful Lu Ling made herself out to be, I would only think that she had done so many evil deeds that she had completely offended her relatives!
"Vicious? Now let you see how vicious I am!!"
Lu Ling was enraged by my words. Ignoring Sheng Shixun's obstruction, she swept towards me like a gust of gloomy wind.
Ordinary ghosts can only invade people's spirits with their resentment, interfering with people's consciousness and creating illusions. For example, in order to teach those two hooligans who came to my shop to blackmail me a lesson, I once let a hanging ghost stare at them in mid - air every day, scaring the two guys out of their wits!
No matter how ferocious Lu Ling was, she was just a ghost. I was a cultivator and a zombie with incomplete three souls and seven spirits. Except for evil ghosts of the level of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother, other ghosts couldn't affect my mind at all.
I gave a cold "humph" and thrust the copper coin sword in my hand towards Lu Ling's chest.
That copper coin sword was just a rather shoddy imitation. Since Lu Ling was Lu Tianchang's younger sister, she naturally knew that this sword was bought by her elder brother for five yuan in the wholesale market. Therefore, she didn't even bother to dodge. She still wanted to get into my body and take it over.
However, she had forgotten who was holding this shoddy imitation!!
I had already silently recited the ghost - suppressing spell in my heart and made a magic gesture with my left hand to infuse it into the shoddy sword.
Just as Lu Ling was about to rush in front of me, Sheng Shixun beside me suddenly sighed. "Miss Du, since you are doing evil in front of me, then... I have no choice but to act on behalf of heaven and punish you."
He looked like an immortal. Even though he was wearing modern clothes, when he waved the whisk, his gray hair fluttered, giving off an air of ancient elegance.
If someone saw him like this at this moment, they would definitely think that this was a highly - cultivated semi - immortal capturing me, this disheveled and blood - stained demon girl.
"Come at me together!"
At this moment, I didn't have the time to consider how powerful Sheng Shixun was. I just wanted to end this quickly so that I could go to the backyard to check on Si Jiangchen's situation.
Lu Ling had already got close to me. The sword only brushed against a few white horse hairs on the whisk. Sheng Shixun, though he had started later, was even faster than a ghost and managed to hook the blade of my sword, allowing Lu Ling to take advantage of the opportunity.
Lu Ling became even more complacent. From her wide - open blood - red mouth, a long blood - red tongue had already stretched out.
"You've lived long enough... It's time for me to enjoy immortality!"
Her face was close to mine again, trying to repeat her old tricks.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal colliding rang out. Streams of black smoke suddenly rose from Lu Ling's ghostly body. She was extremely surprised and looked down unbelievably. She found that the copper coin sword in my hand had already broken. The red silk threads were flying, scattering the 108 imitation copper coins strung together. At least half of them had passed through her ghostly body, causing puffs of black smoke!
"Ahhhhhh..."
Lu Ling let out a scream belatedly. With the ghost - suppressing spell and the blessing of the extremely yang black dog blood, no ghost could withstand it!
Although Master Lu's copper coin sword was fake, the silk threads used to make the sword were truly made of dog blood. My sense of smell for blood was extremely sensitive. I had already known it when I entered the door, so I directly picked up this sword as a weapon.
"Little bitch!! You're courting death!"
Lu Ling was screaming in pain from the burning. She lunged at me wildly. Sheng Shixun also followed behind her. The whisk fluttered, sending out countless faint golden glows like countless golden needles shooting at me.
The golden light is supreme. Since Sheng Shixun could emit golden glows, his magical power was at least countless times stronger than that of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother!
I originally wanted to release the Buddha Mother from my demon pill to help me fight the enemy, but seeing Sheng Shixun like this, I was afraid that even if she came out, she wouldn't be a match for Sheng Shixun...
Lu Ling also didn't expect that Sheng Shixun, who had met her for the first time, had released her from the dark place under the Great Kuan Yin statue. He also promised to fulfill one of her long - cherished wishes, allowing her to enter the cycle of reincarnation without any regrets. Moreover, Sheng Shixun even promised that if she wanted to enter the path of cultivation as a ghost, she could follow him. By then, she could become a ghost immortal and still do whatever she wanted!
Lu Ling wasn't a naive girl who had never seen the world. She knew in her heart that Sheng Shixun had his own motives for these promises. He had come all the way from the capital. He definitely wasn't here for sightseeing!
However, how could Lu Ling care about Sheng Shixun's motives?
Since she had been released, she would avenge her own death!
Lu Xiyu! That little bitch who had taken over her cousin Lu Tianchang was just like her mother, a fox spirit good at bewitching men!
Lu Xiyu's mother had not only bewitched her cousin Lu Tianchang but also never married for a lifetime. She had even broken with the Lu family for adopting Lu Xiyu. She had given up the great future of being the clan leader and come to this shabby place to be a fortune - teller!!
Lu Xiyu had even killed Lu Ling in a foreign land in order to help her man seize the family property.
Now Sheng Shixun not only wanted to help her take revenge but also spared no effort to protect her. This made Lu Ling feel a bit grateful in her heart...
The whisk wrapped around Lu Ling's ghostly body, making her feel soothed. Even the speed at which the black mist overflowed from her body slowed down.
"Go!"
Just as Lu Ling was about to open her mouth to thank him, Sheng Shixun suddenly whipped out the whisk. Lu Ling was involuntarily sent crashing towards Bai Yu, who had used the demon pill to form a defense.
