Chapter Sixty: The King of Ghosts Appears

  She let out a breath, looked at the mist that had all come out of the ghostly figure, and then tapped the head nurse's two ears, sealing off the head nurse's entire body. She pulled the head nurse completely out of the Seven Star Cauldron, grasped it in her hand, chanted an incantation, and saw the cauldron automatically lock itself, slowly shrinking until it was only held in her hand. Only then did she let out a breath, open her eyes, and exit from the heavenly eye realm. She casually tucked the Seven Star Cauldron into her bosom, patted her hands, and laughed: "It's done, Head Nurse is fine now——"

  However, Zhang Qianqian and Wang Jing were still worried about the head nurse who had not woken up yet. Wang Jing pulled my clothes and said with some worry: "How come the head nurse hasn't woken up yet?"

  I raised an eyebrow and nodded at Huang Kai: "You wake her up."

  Actually, I didn't expect that either. Huang Kai responded with a loud "Ah" and went up to slap the head nurse twice, instantly causing her face to swell. The effect was quite good, though - the head nurse let out a startled cry and came to from her daze, but she had no idea what had happened. She stared at Huang Kai in confusion, clutching her face and whispering in terror: "What do you want to do?"

  Huang Kai was too lazy to pay attention to her, a middle-aged woman. What else could he do? At least Huang Kai didn't think he lacked motherly love, so he shrugged and slipped away to my side, his face excited as he said: "Young Master, let's go see how your masters are doing."

  This kid just witnessed my ghost-repelling technique and was excited like he had been injected with chicken blood, leaving me speechless. So I told Zhang Jianchen to take care of Wang Jing and the others, and then led Huang Kai away. Many people in the corridor were discussing what had just happened, apparently it had already spread. I could only lower my head and try not to draw attention from others, but I wasn't quite sure where Master was either. Coincidentally, Master and the others didn't use mobile phones, making it very troublesome to find them.

  However, I also thought of a way. Since the masters want to deal with the town's evil spirit, they must set up an array and seal the boundary. With the array and seal in place, there will definitely be fluctuations in spiritual energy. As it is far away, there are bound to be yin spirits lurking around. I can naturally ask them a question. I closed my eyes, activated my divine thoughts, and opened my heavenly eye. Indeed, the hospital was filled with groups of yin spirits and soldiers, all rushing about. I clasped my hands together, forming the "please god" seal, and recited an incantation. The yin soldier who happened to be passing by not far from me heard it and stopped in surprise. I didn't dare to delay, so I bowed with my fists and said in a low voice: "I am a disciple of Quanzhen, today my master and several masters are here to subdue the evil spirit and catch ghosts, do you know if you have seen my masters?"

  The yin soldier nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head: "I haven't seen it either, nor do I know what's going on. The vengeful spirits in the hospital suddenly hid, and all the yin spirits from all directions are gathering here, so everyone is very busy. However, I heard that someone has set up an array and a boundary in the underground parking garage, maybe it's your master and his people."

  I thanked the yin soldier and pulled Huang Kai towards the elevator, but as we ran, Huang Kai still asked me with a surprised face: "Little Master, you can run so smoothly even with your eyes closed -"

  "What's with all the nonsense, hurry up and run." This Huang Kai is really annoying, but I have to say that Huang Kai is a bit of a reckless fool. Even though he clearly knows I'm talking to Yin Bing, he doesn't seem afraid at all, instead he becomes even more excited. I'm really speechless, I don't know how I ended up meeting such a treasure.

  Before I knew it, I had already gone downstairs. When I entered the parking lot, I couldn't help but pause for a moment. Yin Bing was right, there were indeed some Taoist priests in the parking lot, but not just my masters, there were six or seven of them. Even the array and boundary laid down were not those of our Quanzhen Sect. It was clear that they had arrived earlier. However, at this time, the main force was still my master and his group. Five people with five swords surrounded a swirling dark cloud, amidst which were eerie wails and howls, but I couldn't see clearly what was inside.

  One of them grabbed Huang Kai and didn't dare to rush up easily. The formation was a set of talismans, but the brushwork and characters weren't from our Quanzhen Sect. There were seventy-two talismans in total. With the Heavenly Eye, one could recognize a yellow canopy covering everyone inside. Although no sound could be heard, the intensity of the battle could be seen. The exploding talismans continuously turned into five-colored lights that flashed and disappeared. If not for this formation, the parking lot might have been destroyed.

  "Little master, why is there nothing here?" Huang Kai looked around curiously with a puzzled expression, not knowing why I stopped and still looking serious.

  I'm fed up with being annoyed, I just hummed a sound: "Shut up, if you don't want to die, stand still here and don't move, I'll go take a look"

  As the voice fell, I carefully walked towards the boundary, looking at the five-colored light bursting open inside. Master and Master Uncle and the others formed a five-element array with their five swords, with symbols connecting between the swords, but even so, it looked very strenuous, constantly spraying yang blood onto the swords. Meanwhile, several Taoist priests beside them grasped a talisman seal, continuously throwing out talismans, looking pale and strained.

  Gently placing my hand on the boundary, I could feel the impact of the boundary, which was completely sealed off. I couldn't easily enter, but seeing Master and the others struggling inside made me uneasy. However, for now, I could only observe from a distance, watching as dark clouds continuously burst out of the ghostly head, tearing apart the talismans' characters one by one. But they were being shredded by Master's and the others' green steel swords. The dark clouds seemed to be remaining calm, likely because Master and the others had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

  I just stood outside, staring blankly ahead, still clutching the Soul Bell in one hand, thinking that maybe I could be of some use at any moment. Before I knew it, I had been standing there for a long time, when suddenly I heard Huang Kai's voice beside me: "Young Master, it's getting dark, are you hungry? I've bought some buns, let's eat something to fill our stomachs first..."

  I didn't let him move, so when did he run out to buy buns? I was hungry anyway, and too lazy to say anything else. It's not like I wouldn't eat if I didn't have to. But what I never expected was that after eating just three buns here, before I could even put the fourth one in my mouth, the seal inside had already changed. Dark clouds suddenly surged up, and countless ghost heads burst out, like a huge wave crashing towards Master. Although the Five Elements Formation is connected by five energies, it ultimately relies on individual cultivation, and among the five of us, Master's cultivation was the weakest. The dark cloud rushed towards Master at an incredible speed, and before I could even react, I saw the ghost heads colliding with the sword formation one after another, exploding into a ball of light without knowing whether they were born or destroyed. Master was blasted flying out, and the sword formation was instantly broken. If it weren't for the timely rescue by the Taoist priests on the outside, I'm afraid even Master's uncles would be in danger. But from then on, we could no longer stop that dark cloud.

  The sword array was broken, and the Taoist priests on the periphery were greatly shocked. In a moment of hesitation, one of the Taoist priests had already been enveloped by the dark clouds. The dark clouds then crashed into the barrier, and before I could react, it seemed like I heard a loud rumbling sound. The barrier was unable to withstand the dark clouds. Only when the barrier exploded did I seem to see a ferocious ghost head within, with a bright light in its mouth.

  This isn't the key point, the key is that dark cloud just happened to be rushing towards the position where Huang Kai and I were. Although I didn't know what was inside the dark cloud, I knew it wasn't something I could mess with, so my instincts told me to get away from there. However, Huang Kai was still beside me, savoring his meat bun and smacking his lips nonstop, giving me an urge to kick him. So I used one foot to forcefully kick him out. Just as I kicked Huang Kai flying away, I wanted to dodge but it was too late. The dark cloud rushed over and enveloped me.

  At that moment, I didn't have time to think much, and I desperately shook the soul-capturing bell, urging the five-thunder talisman given by Master Wu to explode. The sound of the bell echoed, the thunder rumbled, and countless evil spirits rushed towards me, but were blown away by the bell's sound and the thunder. However, that ghost head didn't care at all. It was several meters high, with its big mouth open, ready to swallow me whole. Neither the soul-capturing bell nor the exploding thunder had any effect on it. I could only watch as I was about to be buried in the ghost head's huge mouth. At this moment, I even felt despair.

  But just as I thought I was going to die, my brow suddenly shook violently, and a small figure burst out of my brow. It was the second yuan Shen, but it didn't seem to be under my control at all. I felt that he had his own consciousness, only existing within me. I didn't know why he existed inside me, and I didn't have time to think about it. The little figure charged forward, punching the ghost's nose with a loud thud. I vaguely heard a muffled sound, and then the little figure flew back, disappearing into my brow once again. The ghost gave up its plan to devour me, retreating from my side in a hurry. Then, I heard my master's anguished cries, calling out my name, as well as the pained shouts of my three shifu and shibo.

  Everything was just a turn of thought, and I didn't even react, I just stood there stupidly, looking at the Taoist priest in front of me who had just been swallowed up and was now gray and black with no signs of life. Then my masters rushed to my side, their hands on my body were shaking, and there were also tears in their eyes. For a moment, no one knew what to say, while the other Taoists surrounded the dead Taoist priest.

  "Xiao... Xiao Hai..." was finally called out in a trembling voice by Jiu Shi Bo.

  Hearing the sound, I woke up from a trance and looked at Master Jiubai. Suddenly, I started searching my face and asked foolishly: "Master, have I lost anything?"

  As soon as I spoke, everyone seemed to let out a sigh of relief. Once they relaxed, they were all exhausted, and Master was even more so, his body stiffened, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood, almost falling to the ground. Luckily, Master Zu caught him in time. I was frightened and hurriedly supported Master, sobbing with tears: "Master, what's wrong?"
