Chapter 162: Fierce Ghosts, Fierce Ghosts

Mu Yi used exorcism charms on everybody . He didn’t want to be someone who tried to be on good terms with everyone but he didn’t want to end up alone after the ritual . Besides, no matter what, they were there because of him so he had to ensure their safety .

Not only could exorcism charms purify people from resentful Qi but it could also protect them from it . Mu Yi ignored the people’s reactions of surprise . He turned around and threw a five thunders charm . The crowd heard an explosion and lightning struck the roof of the temple .

A hole opened in the roof . Brick and tile flooded down . The old men around Xue Wu were stunned . If Mu Yi had only used the exorcism charms on them, they could have conceived it all . Yet he could also make lightning descend from the sky . They looked at him with respect after that . They didn’t even pay attention to the hole in the roof .

“Ah!” someone screamed .

It was a gloomy sound that came out of the temple . A strong wind started blowing . A black shadow appeared in front of Mu Yi . The shadow floated halfway up in the air . It was surrounded by black Qi . It looked like a man but it was already a ferocious ghost, no, it was a fierce ghost .

The ghost’s Qi wasn’t weaker than Mu Yi’s Qi . It also had mental abilities .

“They’re not afraid of yin Qi or fire . They can condense their mental abilities . Those are fierce ghosts . ” Mu Yi recalled being told that . The lightning hadn’t worked as he had expected . It hadn’t destroyed the ghost . There was a fierce ghost in front of Mu Yi . It was something to be cautious about . It even had mental abilities which meant it was as smart as someone alive .

“Stinky Taoist priest! Why do you mean me harm?” said the fierce ghost staring at Mu Yi .

Since Mu Yi had started traveling, the ghost with whom he had conversed the most was Nian Nuer . She had innate mental abilities and acted like a normal little girl . Therefore, Mu Yi wasn’t surprised to see a ghost who acted like a human .

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re the xiucai from back in the days?” said Mu Yi .

The people around him felt like they were going to faint . They were scared just thinking about it . The xiucai from back then?! Wasn’t he dead? How could he still be alive? There was something wrong . He had turned into a ghost!?

They shuddered with fear when they thought about it . Some people turned around . They wanted to run away . The ghost nodded, glancing at the few old men before looking at Mu Yi again,

“Indeed . I wouldn’t have thought someone would remember me after so many years,” said the fierce ghost .

“You turned into a ghost because of resentment but you still understand suffering . You don’t feel good about the lightning strike, right?” said Mu Yi .

Mu Yi thought of the lightning strike which had happened . Maybe someone had done that on purpose?

“Little Taoist priest, what do you want to do?” said the fierce ghost .

He didn’t do anything reckless . He felt threatened by Mu Yi, especially after having seen the lightning attack . Even though the attack wasn’t as powerful as the one ten years ago, he still couldn’t afford to underestimate Mu Yi . If he had been struck by the lightning directly, he wouldn’t have enjoyed it . It could have been dangerous as well .

“I’m here for those women who died unjustly . I want to avenge them,” said Mu Yi .

His real goal was more complex but he didn’t need to tell him everything .

“Their deaths have nothing to do with me . If you want to avenge them, you should talk to them,” said the fierce ghost pointing to the crowd .

The old men around were scared . They had taken steps backward . Their legs felt like cotton . Some of them even fell to the ground .

“Hahahaha! Did you see that? Even though I built the temple and practice cultivation here, I’ve never injured someone . Don’t you know how to distinguish between right and wrong?” said the fierce ghost to Mu Yi .

“Those women didn’t die because of you, indeed . What about those men who died suddenly in the village? After they died, they were supposed to reincarnate but you imprisoned them . You probably used them for your cultivation, right?” said Mu Yi straightforwardly .

“Hmph! If they hadn’t been greedy, nothing would have happened to them . I don’t feel like replying to your last question,” said the fierce ghost shaking his head disdainfully .

“You’re right,” Mu Yi said .

The crowd thought Mu Yi would refute what the fierce ghost had said .

“Haha! Not bad, not bad . You’re not confused,” said the fierce ghost bursting into laughter .

“Actually, I was just talking shit,” said Mu Yi .

“What do you mean?” asked the fierce ghost .

He didn’t understand what he was saying . Even though he had mental abilities, he had been meditating in seclusion for many years . He wasn’t used to communicating anymore .

“Travelers are all like that before they start slaying evil spirits,” said Mu Yi smiling .

“Are you messing with me, little Taoist priest?” said the fierce ghost .

A cold wind started blowing again .

“No, I’m just teasing you,” said Mu Yi .

“You really want to die!” the fierce ghost said .

He was angry . He threw himself at Mu Yi with a lot of power . All the torches on the walls were blown out . Only the moonlight illuminated the area but it wasn’t enough to see clearly .

Mu Yi didn’t mind . As the ghost threw himself at him, he kept calm and took out the copper lamp . He didn’t move slowly . He was quick . The copper lamp shone brightly and illuminated the fierce ghost .

“Ah!” the fierce ghost shouted .

It flew back quickly . Mu Yi was holding the copper lamp with his left hand . He raised his right hand and white lights flashed . He had thrown a few evil spirit slaying charms . When the evil spirit slaying charms disappeared, the fierce ghost had already reached the ceiling of the mausoleum . He was staring at Mu Yi angrily .

Mu Yi still looked calm . He took out a five thunders charm . Lightning descended from the sky and aimed at the fierce ghost .

“Ah!” The fierce ghost screamed .

Even though this time Mu Yi was facing a fierce ghost, it didn’t matter . It was equivalent to the second difficulty, which was Mu Yi’s current stage . The fierce ghost wasn’t very skilled . It didn’t seem to be able to compete with Mu Yi .

Mu Yi had the copper lamp and five thunders charms . The ghost didn’t have experience in fighting against humans . Fierce ghosts who had experience weren’t as easy to suppress . That lightning wouldn’t suffice to kill a fierce ghost . At their level, their defense was good . Unless Mu Yi used the last two five thunders charms he had, he might not be able to defeat the ghost .

He wasn’t there to deal with him though, even if he had committed crimes . Mu Yi didn’t care . When he had said he was there to avenge the women, it was just an excuse . Actually, what Mu Yi really wanted to do was help Nian Nuer using the fierce ghost .

Nian Nuer was only one small step away from breaking through . If they waited a few more days, she would be able to advance by herself . Mu Yi didn’t intend to wait anymore because of what Xue Wu had said . People who wanted to steal the key from him would find him quickly . They might even come tomorrow .

Mu Yi would definitely need help . It was better if Nian Nuer broke through in a safe environment, not during a battle . Therefore, the best solution was to do it before any enemies found him .

It was a great opportunity . When Mu Yi had noticed the resentful Qi around Zhao Quan’s body, he had come up with the idea . The temple didn’t disappoint him . Not only was there resentful Qi inside but there was also a fierce ghost . Mu Yi was delighted .

He was convinced that if the Bamboo Tree of Life absorbed the fierce ghost, it’d help Nian Nuer . Mu Yi would maybe be able to finish the sacrificial ritual of the Bamboo Tree of Life . That would be amazing .

Besides, if Nian Nuer advanced, she’d be able to come out during the day as well . As long as she didn’t come out when it was noon when the sun was high and it was the hottest . If Nian Nuer reached the second difficulty, Mu Yi would feel reassured . He would be much stronger .

The lightning disappeared and the fierce ghost reappeared . He looked miserable . He was all black . Half of the black fog which surrounded him had disappeared . He was emitting sad and plaintive cries . He quickly realized something was wrong . He wanted to escape but Mu Yi didn’t let him .

“Bamboo Tree of Life, quickly!” shouted Mu Yi, pointing at the fierce ghost .

The Bamboo Tree of Life which was on the table started shaking . Tt was the first time Mu Yi had used another ghost for the sacrificial ritual . Emerald green lights flashed and the Bamboo Tree of Life stabbed into the fierce ghost’s body .

“No, stop!” the fierce ghost yelled .
