Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Experimental site...

There is a small path running north-south, two meters wide and one hundred meters long, between the courtyard behind the main hall and the two branch courtyards in the east and west. Now the doors of the two courtyards are broken, and the stone pavement on the path is also badly damaged.

But what was interesting was that there wasn't a single drop of blood in the front hall. The body parts along this path were mostly concentrated at the East Courtyard entrance and along the path leading from the East Courtyard to the West Courtyard. But overall, the situation in the backyard, where we had just arrived, was the worst, with at least ten monks dead...

Shen Qiao's gaze fell on the wooden door in the east courtyard that had fallen to the ground and been crushed.

The door to the east courtyard was knocked open from the inside.

She turned and walked over there, deducing the situation in her mind as she walked.

The out-of-control ghost broke free of its restraints and, after exiting the East Courtyard, first killed the two guards guarding the gate, and then went to the West Garden. But if it had rushed all the way out and killed the two guards, why didn't it continue directly to the front hall?

Judging from the chaotic scene, the ghost should have been unable to control itself. But it deliberately turned and went to the West Courtyard, which was at least a hundred meters away from the East Courtyard.

Shen Qiao stopped at the gate of East Garden.

The buildings in the east courtyard had been almost completely demolished, and it seemed as if they had caught fire, with the fallen wood all charred.

Unless, there is something in the West Courtyard that attracts it.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiao turned and went west.

The west door was crashed in from the outside, and wood chips were scattered all over the floor.

She noticed that the wall of the west courtyard seemed to be lower than that of the east courtyard. This group of people must have reinforced the east courtyard specifically for the ghost.

The situation in the west yard was better than that in the east yard. At least there wasn't much blood, and there weren't those horrific body parts on the ground.

Walking into the house in the west courtyard, Shen Qiao took a special look. Although the door frame on this side was cracked, there was no sign of it being completely knocked open.

The size of this ghost...isn't it as big as she imagined?

With this doubt in mind, Shen Qiao focused his attention on this room again.

There was no furniture in the room, not even a candlestick. It was spotless, as if it had been vacated specifically.

With the moonlight shining in from outside the door, Shen Qiao lowered his head and was immediately stunned.

"Master."

Wang You heard her calling for help and walked over from the yard. Shen Qiao stepped aside and motioned him to look at the ground.

The moonlight only illuminates a limited area, and there is a layer of dust on the ground, but you can see some red runes here. They are so densely packed that if you don't look carefully, you would think they are the pattern of the floor.

"interesting."

Wang You snapped his fingers, and the dusty runes suddenly lit up with blood light. At the same time, Shen Qiao heard many chaotic sounds in his ears.

Heart-wrenching wails, creepy chewing sounds, desperate pleas...all kinds of harsh sounds mixed together, making it almost deafening.

"Soul-Trapping Spell." Wang You waved his sleeves and withdrew his hand. The runes dimmed and the voice in his ears disappeared.

"Many living souls were once trapped here. They must have been used to feed that ghost."

Shen Qiao frowned. "Then the reason this ghost came out of the East Courtyard and went to the West Courtyard first is because it is easier to eat these stripped souls?"

"It's possible."

After saying that, Wang You turned around and said, "Come out with me and look at this."

Shen Qiao glanced at the empty house.

The sound I just heard should be the fragments of memory left behind when these souls were eaten by that ghost.

These beasts are worse than animals...

Turning around and going outside, Wang You seemed to be casting a spell, and she could see the golden spiritual power spreading.

This seemed to be the first time she saw the concrete color of Wang You's spiritual power, a color that was completely inconsistent with ordinary people's impression of "death".

The color of "living towards death".

A shaking feeling of the ground cracking drew Shen Qiao's attention back. She found that there were cracks in the ground under her feet, and the ground was shaking as if it was sinking.

She seemed to understand Wang You's meaning, and drew her sword, sweeping it out across.

Wherever the sword energy passed, a cloud of sand and gravel was raised. As the surface materials were cleared, a large piece of bluestone slab covering the entire yard was revealed. A huge octagonal formation diagram was engraved on it. The two men were now standing in the east and west directions respectively.

Shen Qiao didn't have time to sheath his sword. He stared at the formation for a moment, stunned. "Is this... the annihilation formation I used in the previous battle against the demons?"

This formation is extremely destructive and was developed mainly to suppress monsters. Once activated, everything within a hundred miles will be razed to the ground in an instant.

"So, Emperor Wenzong and the royal family have been conducting experiments in this city. They're evacuating now because the ghost is out of control. If they can't suppress it, they plan to destroy all the research data and all the ghosts at the cost of the entire city?"

There are at least a thousand households in this city, how could Emperor Wenzong be so cruel! !?

Shen Qiao clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand.

These people...have really had enough of life...

Wang You made a grasping motion and said, "Fortunately, they finally controlled the ghost."

This is not the stage to activate this formation.

The golden spiritual power penetrated the formation diagram, and the entire bluestone slab was instantly covered with golden lines. There was only a cracking sound, and the entire formation diagram was completely shattered into useless small stones.

"Let's go, it's dawn."

"Ah."

Shen Qiao's face was gloomy. She followed Wang You to the gate of the yard, but stopped for a moment, swung a sword with her backhand, and then walked out of the yard.

After the two left, they saw that the good house suddenly fell apart and was completely scrapped without any warning.

Walking back to the front hall from the backyard, there is a clear difference between the front and back yards, but it is like two completely different worlds.

Those jobs definitely don't last just one or two years. How do they maintain their orthodox image as immortals while doing these shameful things that are against their conscience and harm their virtue?

After walking out of the door, Shen Qiao turned around and took a look at the government office.

Looking at the four big characters "Save yourself and save others" written neatly on the plaque, it seems ironic no matter how I look at it.

She raised her hand to call the talisman and said indifferently, "Mysterious Fire."

The talisman paper flew up without wind in an instant, and suddenly burst into flames after landing.

This hypocritical and evil place should be burned down.

"This matter is no longer limited to the Immortal Realm." Wang You said, handing the reins to Shen Qiao, "Are you still going to take care of it?"

Shen Qiao took the reins and looked at the burning flames. "Take care of it."

Wang You looked at her for a moment, but didn't say anything else, "Okay."

Now everything in the city has been completely cleared out, and the government office has been burned down.

The master and his disciple did not stay after leaving the government office where they were stationed, but went straight up the mountain road and headed straight for Emperor Wenzong.
