......

A light drizzle was falling from the sky, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, with no sign of the rain clearing up.

The air was heavy with a hint of chill, and passersby hurried by.

The school bell rang.

A girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old was carrying an umbrella and walking slowly on the bumpy, muddy road. Her leather shoes were covered in grime.

Her face was deathly pale, as if she had lost her soul; she walked unsteadily, her eyes devoid of any light.

Unconsciously, I walked into a dark, shadowy alley.

After the girl entered the alley, without anyone noticing,

The entrance suddenly disappeared, distorted and replaced by the shape of a high wall.

"Brothers! Get a job done!"

"Hey, the soul smells especially sweet today."

"Haha, what a stroke of luck! The soul of this kind of well-behaved girl is so pure."

From the shadows of the alley, a dark blue mist rose, and the stench of fermenting excrement instantly filled the entire space.

The black mist writhed and twisted, and after a few minutes, it even coalesced into a human face.

His expression was strange; he opened his mouth wide, stuck out his long tongue, licked his rotten, maggot-infested teeth, and his eyes were fixed on the girl at all times.

"I haven't tasted anything like this in centuries! It's so milky and fragrant, it's like it was born to seduce ghosts!"

"Charge! Brothers!"

"Such naturally pure goods are a once-in-a-century find!"

"It's a pity that the soul seems to have been touched by those big shots; it's not pure, it's second-rate."

"Alright, if she were truly flawless, would we brothers even have a chance to make a move? I bet that woman was devoured by those heavenly soldiers and demon generals, leaving only a wisp of her soul."

“However…” The largest ghost trembled, its face contorted so that its expression was unreadable.

"This body is indeed beautiful. We five ghost brothers are truly blessed to be able to touch a lady from a respectable family!"

"Guys, I'll eat first—"

Just as the leader of the Five Ghosts brothers transformed into a sticky black tentacle and was about to touch the girl...

A bright golden light suddenly burst forth in the girl's eyes.

The light was so bright it almost blinded the five ghosts.

The ghost with the lowest cultivation level was killed simply because it glanced at the girl's golden eyes.

He was so frightened to death by the golden light that his ghost evaporated on the spot, leaving no trace.

But it wasn't over yet. Righteous energy possessed the girl, centered around her, and then erupted into a fierce storm.

The three little devils, whose cultivation levels were only ninety-nine years, were still unaware of what had happened.

He was torn to shreds on the spot by the righteous spirit, leaving not even a cry of pain for the world.

Only the eldest of the Five Ghost Brothers remained, an old ghost who had cultivated for four hundred and ninety-nine years and was quite imposing.

He had to use all his strength, exhaust his cultivation, and use all his trump cards to barely save his life.

However, its body was still mostly destroyed, with only a wisp of its original soul remaining.

"Sir, spare your life!"

That remnant of the original soul actually transformed into a small person, constantly kneeling and kowtowing, begging for mercy.

"My lord, spare my life! I was blind and didn't know it was a celestial lord in person!"

The leader of the Five Ghosts was quite frustrated and depressed, as he had already come to such a remote place to set up his own Taoist temple.

How come we still encountered these Taoist priests who are pretending to be weak but actually strong?

Wasn't it agreed that this area would be allocated to these vengeful ghosts?

The leader of the Five Ghosts pleaded desperately, begging the "Immortal Lord" to show mercy and let him go.

He only acted out of momentary malice and lust, which is why he accidentally attacked the passerby.

Normally, he would never dare to provoke these celestial lords and generals with powerful backgrounds.

"hehe."

"Unfortunately, you've misspoke. I'm not some immortal lord."

Ok? ? ?

If not a celestial being, then what is he?

The leader of the Five Ghosts felt for no reason that an unspeakable terror was about to befall him.

Where do demons and monsters find righteousness?

"What you say is true, sir. I will go back and apologize to you in person."

"This little devil has quite a lot of wealth in the mortal world, and I will definitely treat you well, so that you can come to the mortal world with dignity and leave comfortably."

Since he is not a celestial lord, he is probably a celestial lord's illegitimate son, or a celestial lord who descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation but did not lose his memory.

I was touched by a deity.

No matter what, he was not someone that this ghost-blocking person could afford to offend.

The five old ghosts quickly confessed all of their territory.

"I also have a bunch of little devils under my command."

"My lord, if you dislike any mortal, I will send a little devil to torment her."

They were afraid the young girl might have reservations.

The leader of the Five Ghosts hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we know what we're doing. We won't torture you to death, but we guarantee you'll suffer a fate worse than death."

“Those ordinary methods of praying for blessings are useless to us, but they can make a fortune for the righteous god behind your house.”

The girl squinted.

chuckled.

"You're quite shrewd even as a ghost, which is why you've managed to accumulate nearly five hundred years of cultivation."

The leader of the Five Ghosts, Fly, rubbed his hands together, a fawning smile on his face.

Facing the "Immortal Lord," even their souls seemed to lose several points of their power.

“We brothers are all highly regarded, and many other immortal lords have also come to us for customized services.”

"Do you offer to customize prank plans?"

"That is."

"So you've forgotten that I'm one of the people you're trying to mess with too?"

A small black banner rose from the girl's fair and slender hand.

A strange wind suddenly swept through the alley.

A large amount of pitch-black evil energy and resentment gushed out from the small banner, its color even more than a thousand times denser than the mist emitted by the Five Ghosts!

If you lean closer, you can hear a piercing wail.

"Year 499?"

"His cultivation level is barely acceptable, and he's a bit older than my fellow disciples."

Under the terrified gaze of the Five Ghosts Boss.

The girl parted her red lips slightly, revealing her white teeth, and her throat sounded as if kissed by a god, like heavenly music.

What came out of his teeth chilled the Five Ghosts Elder to the bone.

"what!"

"You...you're actually a demonic cultivator! Impossible!"

What kind of Emperor's Banner is this!

It's clearly the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls!

There was a human emperor's banner that emitted billowing black smoke, the black smoke being more intense than the evil he had committed over the past hundred years.

This demonic cultivator is clearly the one who has killed countless people, incurring the wrath of both heaven and man!

"No, no."

"There can be no demonic cultivators in this world. Humans have no path to immortality or demonism except to become ghosts!"

"Where is the Immortal Lord? Immortal Lord, come quickly!"

The leader of the Five Ghosts fled frantically, even trying to pick up his phone to send WeChat messages to the other immortals.

But the girl grabbed him and put him into the Emperor's Banner, where he was instantly refined!

"Jie Jie Jie."

"Please, young friend, come into my Emperor's Banner for a chat!"

"However, you're wrong about one thing. My Emperor's Banner is so pure it's almost purple-black!"

Actually, it's because I drank too much soy sauce from the Emperor's Banner, which made me a little darker, but that's normal.

Unfortunately, the leader of the Five Ghosts will never understand.

He let out a piercing wail before being swept into the Emperor's Banner, which exuded righteous energy.

"Young friend, please allow me to perform a brief soul search."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt."

"At most, their souls will be scattered."

This is a modern society where immortals and demons coexist. Besides humans, there are also immortals, demons, monsters, and ghosts on Earth.

Immortals are righteous gods who reside in the Heavenly Court and do not usually descend to the mortal realm to interfere with the human world.

Demons are powerful monsters who live within protective barriers. If mortals accidentally enter a demon's domain, they will only become its prey.

Demons are false immortals and evil monsters, or righteous gods or great demons who have fallen into the demonic path, and they are evil on the side.

As for ghosts...

The Heavenly Court has rules that mortals may not become immortals, demons, or monsters.

If you want to gain extraordinary power, you can only become a scoundrel who acts as an accomplice to evil, and your cultivation level cannot exceed a thousand years.

The leader of the Five Ghosts is also the most powerful ghost in this area.

"Hehe, that's really interesting."

It was not an accident that the original owner entered the Five Ghosts Boss's dojo.

The Five Ghosts had long been entrusted by the Immortal Lord to lie in ambush here.

Ning Jun rubbed his slightly aching temples as the original owner's memories flooded back like a tide.

The original owner's name was Yang Zhen, an ordinary high school student. He lived with his father and his godbrother.

For the first seventeen years, all was well, until she encountered evil spirits on her eighteenth birthday.

It was Bai Ruanruan, a wandering Taoist priest, who used talismans to dispel evil spirits and saved Yang Zhen's life despite being injured.

Yang Zhen then realized that there were still demons in the mortal world, and the reason they couldn't be seen was because the Celestial Master was silently upholding justice in the mortal world.

Bai Ruanruan was originally a boy, but due to a mistake while going down the mountain, she turned into a girl.

To repay his benefactor, Yang Zhen decided to let Bai Ruanruan stay at his home temporarily.

Little did anyone know that once Bai Ruanruan was taken in, she never left.

She wanted to go to school, so the Yang family enrolled her in the best high school and placed her in the same class as Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen took care of all of Bai Ruanruan's food, drink, accommodation, and transportation so that she could recuperate.

Bai Ruanruan was initially carefree and reckless.

As a Taoist priest, he used talismans without any restraint, damaging public facilities every time he exorcised a demon.

The Yang family paid hefty compensation afterwards.

Besides her unprofessional exorcism techniques, Bai Ruanruan also began to imitate Yang Zhen's style of dress and makeup in her daily life, following her closely at almost every step.

Although Yang Zhen cared, he held back and assumed that Bai Ruanruan was just studying.

Aside from having to wipe Bai Ruanruan's bottom every day, Yang Zhen's life was relatively stable until her godbrother returned from his hometown.

Li Cheng was a student of Professor Yang, Yang Zhen's father, and she and Yang Zhen were sworn siblings.

He was handsome and gentle, and Yang Zhen had a crush on him for a long time. The two were in an "ambiguous period".

Yang Zhen wanted to confess her feelings, but Li Cheng hinted that she should wait. He was currently in a period of academic advancement and wanted to wait until things stabilized before making a move, so he refused to break the ice.

However, his good fortune was short-lived. While investigating water resources in the field, Professor Yang accidentally ingested poisonous water and died suddenly.

The heavy burden suddenly fell on Yang Zhen's shoulders.

Under the immense pressure of losing a loved one, Yang Zhen suffered a mental breakdown and became utterly exhausted.

Li Cheng told Yang Zhen to give him Professor Yang's information, and then he would take care of everything in the Yang family and investigate the real cause of Professor Yang's death.

One night, Yang Zhen woke up from a nightmare. Missing her father, she went to his study.

But what came from inside was a nauseating sound.

"...We're just like siblings..."

"You're the only one in my heart..."

Yang Zhen pushed the door open abruptly.

The scene inside made her eyes widen in horror. She saw Bai Ruanruan wearing her camisole nightgown, in front of her deceased father's photo, being affectionate and inseparable from her godbrother.

Their tongues were practically sticking out of each other's mouths; they were practically on the verge of sleeping together.

Her "best friend," who usually calls herself a tough guy, is her most trusted "secret crush," who will protect her for life.

They'd been having an affair all along, keeping it a secret from her, and then betraying her cruelly. They were even stirring up trouble at the funeral!

Under the double blow, Yang Zhen broke down emotionally and ran away from home. With no one to protect her, her spiritual energy dissipated.

Ultimately, he was targeted by a powerful demon who plundered the Heavenly Spirit Pearl from Yang Zhen's body.

Yang Zhen was originally the reincarnation of the Heavenly Spirit Pearl.

When a person is emotionally agitated or on the verge of collapse, the Heavenly Spirit Pearl can manifest and unleash its power to protect itself.

But their mission was thwarted when they encountered a powerful demon. By the time Li Cheng, Bai Ruanruan, and the others arrived, Yang Zhen was nothing but an empty shell.

The two continued their pursuit of the great demon to reclaim the divine artifacts of Heaven, without even sparing the victims a glance.

Yang Zhen, now an empty shell, had a large portion of his soul stolen, and lived like a walking corpse, unnoticed by anyone.

Ultimately, he mistakenly entered the domain of demons and monsters, where he was toyed with by the five demons.

Li Cheng and Bai Ruanruan arrived late again, accompanied by a large number of relatives and friends.

Seeing Yang Zhen at her most disheveled, with her hair in disarray and her clothes on the verge of being torn.

Even Bai Ruanruan, a high-ranking deity in the Heavenly Court, and Li Cheng, the prince of the merman clan, were "powerless" to stop mortals from taking out their phones to take pictures.

Numerous indecent photos were circulated online.

Overnight, Yang Zhen went from being a well-behaved girl with excellent grades to being called a whore by everyone by her neighbors, students, and netizens, and her reputation was completely ruined.

However, Li Cheng and Bai Ruanruan, who knew the truth, did not help Yang Zhen explain.

Instead, Yang Zhen forgave these cyberbullies.

"Mortals cannot see ghosts and gods, so they will not believe your experience."

"Even if you explain, it will only increase my workload and expose ghosts to the public, increasing public panic."

"For the sake of the bigger picture, just bear with it. They just don't know the truth, there's no need to care about them."

After saying his last words, Li Cheng left the Yang family.

Bai Ruanruan didn't even bother to glance at Yang Zhen in the hospital.

The two joined forces to defeat the great demon and retrieve the Heavenly Spirit Pearl.

Bai Ruanruan refined it in one gulp, and with the help of the spiritual energy within the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, she became an immortal once again.

"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. I am not a mortal after all. It would be better to sever my ties with the mortal world as soon as possible."

She transferred one ten-thousandth of the spiritual energy within the Heavenly Spirit Pearl to Yang Zhen, extending her lifespan by ten years.

“You took me in for a year, and I will extend your life by ten years. In this way, the karmic connection between us will be severed.”
