Chapter 237 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 19 (1/2)

An Su pushed the door open, receiving a fright upon seeing the walls densely packed with wards

“Ghost-jiejie… W-what was Mr Feng trying to do?” ‘Why did he put up so many wards to trap you?’

“Rip them off.”

“Oh, okay.” An Su shut the door behind her and went to tear the wards off the walls. But the moment she touched one, her hand was scorched. She retreated and hesitated for a moment, eventually deciding that she was able to tolerate this level of pain. She bore with it as she tore the remaining talismans off the walls.

By the time she had finished, her hand was a bloody mess.

“I’m done, Ghost-jiejie.” An Su hid her hand behind her back.

“Dummy.” Shi Sheng floated over to her. “Give me your hand.”

“Ah? It’s fine…” An Su retreated with a red face.

“Hurry up.” ‘My(bbb) time is measured by the second, okay?’

Only after Shi Sheng’s urging did An Su stretch her hand out. She felt a cooling sensation engulf her hand as soon as Shi Sheng took it it.

The burn wounds caused by the wards healed before her very eyes.

“This’ll do for now. I have to save my spirit energy for later, otherwise I won’t be able to win any fights.” Shi Sheng released An Su, revealing the wounds that had already scabbed over. Although they were a bit ugly, they didn’t hurt anymore.

An Su was surprised. ‘Ghosts can do this?’

Shi Sheng was too lazy to explain the difference between ghosts and ghost cultivators to her. She floated outside.

“Ghost-jiejie, where are you going?” An Su hurriedly chased after her.

Shi Sheng’s brows wrinkled slightly as she stopped in place. It seemed that she didn’t know where Feng Jin was heading to… ‘I don’t recall a venue written on the invitation… No wonder he dared to show it to me.’

“Ghost-jiejie?” An Su gave her an uncomprehending look. ‘How come you suddenly stopped when you were in such a rush just now?’

Shi Sheng scratched her head in frustration. Deciding it couldn’t hurt to try, she asked An Su, “Do you know where the Exorcist Gathering is being held?”

‘Exorcist Gathering?’

An Su shook her head innocently. She knew of exorcists — but had never actually met one until recently. It really wasn’t a surprise that she’d never even heard of an Exorcist Gathering.

……

Mt. Tiandu, the place where several of the most famous monasteries were located.

A massive explosion startled its sleeping inhabitants awake, causing them to rush down the mountain without even putting their clothes on properly.

“What’s going on?”

“Did something explode? …I felt the whole mountain shake—maybe it was an earthquake?”

“I didn’t see a flash, dunno what it is. Hurry down and take a look.”

A large, blackened hole greeted those who rushed down to the foot of the mountain. The crater severed the path towards the peak, flashing with intermittent lightning.

A lot of people had come down to take a look, but they were clearly divided into two different camps.

“W-what is this?”

“What kind of explosive could create such a large hole?”

They hadn’t seen any flashes, and only heard the bang.

“Remember that recent news report?” A young, baby-faced man timidly voiced his thoughts.

“Xiao Bai, you’re referring to the news about a hole filled with lightning appearing in a neighbourhood?” A middle-aged man immediately replied.

The young man Xiao Bai nodded his head. “Don’t you think this hole is very similar to the one described on the news? A sudden explosion without any flash beforehand. A massive hole filled with lightning suddenly appearing…”

“Xiao Bai’s right. Could it be that aliens have descended on our Mt. Tiandu?”

The other party immediately mocked the speaker, “We always knew that you Baiyun Monastery scrubs weren’t intelligent or cultured, but you lot have always acted like it was something to be proud of. Don’t you know science? Where the hell would aliens come from?”

Blah blah blah…
