527 Keeping a Ghos (1/2)
”Jerk!”
Tantai Juelie roared and became increasingly ferocious-looking. ”Do you know the pain and suffering we have endured in the netherworld? Do you know how much we've sacrificed for me to escape from that hell? Do you think you can deny your wrongdoings so easily? That's impossible! My mission is to capture you and let you get the fate you deserve!”
”The fate... I deserve?”
Tantai Guihu looked towards Fang Yuan and his pupils contracted. 'He is indeed the planned creation! If that is so, is he the one responsible for all that had happened 15 years ago? This is unbelievable.'
”Hmm?”
However, Fang Yuan could detect in this instant that all the ghosts he had created were completely annihilated!
A blurred-face ghost in black robes was wielding a sharp blade behind Tantai Juelie. It slowly crept into his body from behind.
”Oh god!”
”Ghost!”
There were screams all around. The headlines for tomorrow would surely be about this paranormal sighting in the city.
”That ghost!”
Tantai Juelie shrieked. ”Was it the one who killed Lin Qi? Are you using your body to breed ghosts?”
”Breeding ghosts?”
Thoughts raced through Fang Yuan's mind as he thought about this restrictive spell exclusive only to the Tantai Family.
It was different from his own Spirit Sealing Body. This restrictive spell would alter one's body, allowing it to become suitable to breed a ghost. However, it had limited control over the ghosts in it!
”Is this all you've got?”
Fang Yuan looked towards Tantai Juelie. ”Do you think you stand a chance against me with these few ghosts of yours?”
His Spirit Sealing Body was a secret only known to himself. To the people of the Tantai Family, Fang Yuan was merely an incarnation from a Strange Level curse, but he was already strong enough on his own. Together with another top-notch exorcist, their collective combat power was powerful enough to the extent where only the most powerful group of elders in the Tantai Family would stand a chance in taking them down.
”A few?”
Hearing Fang Yuan's comment, Tantai Juelie was a little confused. However, Tantai Guihu was utterly shocked. ”Juelie….. How many ghosts... did you keep in you? Are you crazy?”
”Hehe... I've been crazy all along! I am willing to do anything to escape that hell for our family!”
Tantai Juelie was frenzied. ”You can never imagine all that I've suffered... the horror of it!”
”Rippppp!”
As he spoke, he tore his shirt apart.
”Ah!”
Screams were heard. Even Jiese the Monk could not bear to look as he shut his eyes and chanted his mantra silently.
”One, two, three, four... Five! Hehe... You're indeed ruthless to keep 5 ghosts in you. Have you not suffered the backlash of it? Could it be because you share the same bloodline with these ghosts, or is it their intention not to harm you?”
A hint of gold flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes as he examined Tantai Juelie.
He noticed mysterious faces on his heart, shoulders, legs and even on his back. These faces were full of life and their eyeballs could even dart around.
Most importantly, Fang Yuan recognised all 5 of these faces!
”The elders of the Tantai Family!”
Tantai Guihu held his head with both of his hands and almost teared as though he was looking at someone familiar. ”Did you turn your own family members into ghosts?”
If one was not careful, one would suffer the backlash of keeping so many ghosts in one's body. Therefore, the best strategy would be for one to keep ghosts with the same bloodline as himself, gaining protection and immunity from the fact that they were once family!
”I'm afraid that... they are all willing ghosts!”
Fang Yuan looked deeper into Tantai Guijing. He knew that Tantai Guijing alone could not do anything to force these 5 elders into himself.
Furthermore, if Tantai Guijing were to forcefully kill them to turn them into ghosts, these ghosts would only be filled with vengeance and would not hold back in dealing with whoever killed them. If Tantai Guijing were to kill his own relatives, these elders would surely deal with him in retaliation.
Now that Fang Yuan understood the situation, he knew that all of these would only be possible if the 5 elders of the Tantai Family were willing.
”Hehe... What a huge sacrifice to give up 5 elders of the Tantai Family!”
Fang Yuan knew that these elders had long turned into ghosts and might even lose their memories. All that was left of them were hatred and vengeance!
Hatred and vengeance towards Fang Yuan!
At this point in time, these 5 elders were staring intently at Fang Yuan and their eyes turned bloodshot.
”Phew...”
Fang Yuan lightly exhaled and could feel the pressure from a certain being descending upon them. Surprisingly, he smiled. ”This is merely the combined power of 5 powerful Murderous Level ghosts, it's not enough! Not enough!”
A black robe slowly appeared on Fang Yuan and the power of its curse started to spread out. Jiese the Monk and the rest started to feel fear in their hearts and were dizzy, as though a terrorizing presence had arrived.
”Indeed... you are not human, but an evil ghost!”
Witnessing this scene, Tantai Juelie's pupils shrank.
He had already expected that something like that would happen. However, this new ghost was very different from the ghost which he had seen 50 years ago and therefore, he was a little confused.
'No worries... As long as I use my killer move, I will be able to win!'
A chilly look appeared in Tantai Juelie's eyes. With a cunning smile, he took out a ceramic doll.
This doll was only as large as a human's palm. It was red and vein-like structures covered the doll. These veins were trembling.
As soon as he took out the doll, Fang Yuan felt a sense of restriction and the original restriction seal appeared on him once again.
”Haha... how do you feel?”
Tantai Juelie laughed. ”This is a curse doll refined by your blood once a month, years ago when you were younger!”
With this curse doll, Tantai Juelie would be capable of dealing with even a Strange Level curse.
Needless to say, this doll was covered in large amounts of Tantai Mieming's blood years ago. If Fang Yuan was indeed a ghost, he would undoubtedly be controlled by this doll!
This was Tantai Family's last resort in case Fang Yuan went out of control!
