Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

Jing Li stood on the roof of the red-walled, tiled house. An invisible force was spreading out from beneath her feet. Nangong Qian and the other two were no longer in the courtyard.

Each time the aperture expands, there is a spot that inexplicably responds to it, forming a beam of light.

The diffusion ended, leaving a total of eight beams of light, one of which was located in the side room.

The lower half of each beam of light emitted wisps of black mist, which seemed to be spreading upwards.

Jing Li smiled, "Found it!"

The most crucial part of suppressing that thing—its heart!

She then leaped lightly, landing steadily on the ground, and walked towards the side room.

The giant butterfly remained perched above the vortex, its antennae forming countless golden threads that wove a net to block the escaping yin energy.

Jing Li stood beneath the whirlpool, her hands rapidly forming hand seals. The butterfly slowly opened its wings, its antennae retracting gradually, until it finally shrank into the shape of a small, ordinary butterfly.

It vanished swiftly from Jing Li's palm.

At the same time, the eight-sided pillar of light that had formed vanished the instant the butterfly disappeared.

The suppression formation...broken!

Instantly, the vortex began to rotate clockwise, and a powerful suction swept away everything around it, causing the side room to collapse.

The entire village fell into a deathly silence; even though there was nothing around, it still gave people the creeps.

Jing Li moved against the wind, a smile flashing in her eyes. She saw it, hidden deep within—the Blood Glutinous Rice!

This is one of the items used to collect materials; it can be used as a substitute.

"boom!"

"sand!!!"

The tremendous cracking sound sent chills down one's spine, followed by a chilling aura that swept towards Jing Li's back.

As if sensing something, Jing Li glanced to the side, waved her hand, and a series of powerful metallic sounds crashed to the ground.

She slowly turned around and saw a hint of surprise on her face.

The sky and earth were dark, as if another space had been formed. The surroundings were dilapidated, and the whole village looked like it had been ravaged by a natural disaster, with ruins everywhere.

A human-shaped black shadow stood in the distance, its features obscured, but a large, metallic-looking sword stood upright on the ground beside it.

The dark figure continuously absorbed yin energy from all around, becoming increasingly solid and eventually coalescing into a complete human shape, with its facial features gradually becoming clearer.

Suddenly, Jingli's heart clenched.

She touched her heart strangely. "No way! This body has a heart condition?"

“扑腾！”

“扑腾！”

Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be right next to her ear, as if it would leave her body at any moment.

What followed was dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a sharp pain in her chest that made her mouth twitch.

"..."

What a pathetic body! Flip the table!

The wound on his arm seemed to stir, as if to express his dissatisfaction, and it widened its opening.

Jing Li frowned even more deeply. "You can do it like this?"

Just then, a white light appeared behind the shadowy figure, then darted back and forth in the air, leaping up and down aimlessly.

Jing Li saw clearly that the white glowing substance was a blood-red orchid.

But they could also see clearly the shadowy figure that had just flashed by—a general terracotta warrior, a great ghost that had been suppressed here after its death, capable of reaching the level of a ghost general.

It was clearly a large, imposing creature, wearing a crane-shaped crown and armor. One hand gripped a large sword tightly at its side, and its empty, lifeless eyes resembled two cold, hard steel balls, ready to solidify into a war-like form at any moment.

Just as Jing Li was about to cast a spell to lock the blood vessel, someone beat her to it.

"Got it!" A joyful voice came from behind the ruins.

It is early summer.

The two lay prone behind the ruins, their eyes fixed on the Blood Orchid.

Taking advantage of the gap, a talisman flew straight towards the white light, wrapped around it, and the blood vessel instantly fell to the ground.

Chu Xia was still immersed in joy while holding the Blood Bucket, but the Ghost General, who had been hesitant to move, suddenly reacted. He swung his broadsword, and the sword energy swept up a sword wind, leaving a long sword mark on the ruins.

The sword energy spread to the area where early summer was.

"Xiao Chu, be careful." Zhao Yanchen quickly pulled Chu Xia away. The two of them lost their balance and rolled on the ground before they looked up.

Jing Li was no longer in a hurry. She suppressed the frustration in her chest, crossed her arms, and looked thoughtfully in that direction.

Her things are not so easy to take.

The chosen one, looking to snag a bargain.

"Heh!" Jing Li scoffed dismissively, but then she caught her breath and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She grimaced and said, "Holy shit."

She turned and quickly covered her mouth. Did she really say that?

That's what the original owner said! It definitely wasn't me!

She calmly prepared herself mentally.

The original owner's will is harmful.

......

On the other side, the ghost general stood like a towering mountain, and every time he moved, a huge "boom" was heard, causing stones on the ground to fly everywhere.

"Give me your life!" He swung his broadsword wildly, aiming only at Chu Xia.

It doesn't seem like it has fully recovered to its original state.

Ghost General's body was unusually heavy at this moment. Although the power of his sword was great, Chu Xia could easily dodge it and still have time to discuss things with Zhao Yanchen.

"Ah Chen, have you seen any records of this?" Chu Xia, clutching the blood vessel in her left hand, fled frantically, but she also noticed something was wrong. "Why is he only chasing me?"

Why aren't we chasing that scum anymore!

They arrived and found the formation broken, and then they saw the dark figure.

Her original plan was to use the woman to distract the ghost, secretly find the magical artifact, and then quickly leave.

Anyway, that woman deserved to die, so how could someone who raised a vengeful ghost deserve to live!

But to my surprise, this damn thing has its eyes on me!

Zhao Yanchen ambushed the ghost general from behind, throwing talismans one after another, but only managed to leave slight marks on the armor.

His face was grave, and he shouted back, "Xiao Chu, it's a Ghost General! We need to find a chance to break out!"

"Ghost General!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xia was stunned for a moment, her heart skipping a beat.

Born into a self-taught family, she wasn't very clear about some things, but she persevered and fought her way to where she is today, and she was too proud to join the metaphysical society.

However, I have also heard my master talk about ghost generals! They are indestructible forces that can only be suppressed. They can no longer be called evil spirits because only those who have accumulated great merit in their previous lives have the opportunity to become ghost generals.

It's obvious that the thing attacking them must be some ancient general who defended his country.

As for why he didn't die of old age but became a ghost general, they couldn't guess.

The blade swept across Chu Xia's back, knocking her to the ground.

"Cough...cough!!"

The smoke and dust irritated her nasal cavity and throat, causing her to cough uncontrollably.

Fortunately, thanks to the ice stone, my body recovered a lot; otherwise, I would probably be vomiting blood again now.

She braced herself on the ground with one hand, almost getting up, when a cold blade of light slashed down directly at her, and she quickly dodged to the side.

"No! Ah Chen, he has no thoughts."

She kept glancing at Jing Li, fearing a sudden attack, while dodging the ghost general's attacks, but she didn't let go of the blood vessel in her hand.
