There is a skill, officially named Soul Picking, colloquially known as Corpse Touching. When ghostly energy revives, one can even touch ghosts.
"Ding dang, your cheat system is online!...
A red light is a warning, indicating a dangerous situation.
This was the first time Fang Zong had encountered such a situation. Since Elder Wang usually wouldn't bother him, he felt the matter was serious and became extremely interested in the Youye Illusionary Realm.
Old Wang believed in letting qualified people develop on their own, and he was the strongest among the great generals who were "let go".
"It's just the appearance of a Netherworld, is it really worth making such a fuss?"
Fang Zong dialed Old Wang's contact number. Bai Baixue didn't like contacting the Ghost Killing Team, so she grabbed a peach, ate it, and walked away.
"You can call me if you need anything." Bai Baixue left only this sentence. On Fang Zong's phone screen, Old Wang's eyes widened involuntarily because of this, and his white beard and white eyebrows twitched. "Bai Baixue... the Great Sage Equal to Heaven... she, she told you that you can call her if you need anything?" Old Wang murmured in disbelief.
"You've seen immortals before, haven't you?" Fang Zong laughed.
"Gods? It depends on what kind of gods they are! The Eight Immortals are already powerful enough. If Lü Ying hadn't suddenly decided to side with us, he, He Xiangu, and Han Zhongli together could have thrown the entire Eastern Kingdom into chaos. But the Great Sage Equaling Heaven... do you know that the ancient Three Ages Book records that even the Eight Immortals combined could only last ten moves against the Great Sage Sun!"
"Oh, that's pretty impressive."
"It's incredibly powerful!"
"On the contrary, I think the Eight Immortals are too weak..." Fang Zong didn't think Bai Baixue was that powerful. That one blow pierced through the small mountain, and now that he thought about it, it was nothing special. He was at the level of supernatural powers, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to burn down a small mountain. "Let's talk about the Youye Illusionary Realm," Fang Zong smiled. "I know that the Youye Illusionary Realm is a small world created by the fragments of the Six Paths of Reincarnation using the beliefs of countless people. However, it is just a small world. Moreover, since it has the word 'illusionary realm' in it, it shouldn't be real. If it's not real, why should we be afraid of it?"
"If we don't do anything about it, it will become real, and it will be terrifying."
As Old Wang flipped through a thick ancient book, even through the phone call, Fang Zong could feel an extremely profound power emanating from it.
"Compared to the sealed lands, the Youye Illusionary Realm is really just a useless thing. Even the worst sealed lands can absorb some ancient power, like those of the City God or the Earth God... These aren't considered very good sealed lands. The best ones retain the dragon energy of dynasties, which can make cultivation advance by leaps and bounds." Old Wang said somewhat embarrassedly, "The Youye Illusionary Realm only has one thing, which is the vengeful spirit generated by the fourth ghost energy revival. It's similar to a ghost, but stronger. The entire Youye Illusionary Realm was generated around it. Only by eliminating the vengeful spirit will the Youye Illusionary Realm disappear."
"Then what?"
"I will try my best to find a place to seal off the area for you. As for the Youye Illusionary Realm this time, I need your help."
Old Wang said with a wry smile, "I sent two newly promoted supernatural beings into the illusionary realm, but within three minutes one was dead and the other was injured. The injured one only managed to utter four words before falling unconscious. We must prevent the Youye Illusionary Realm from becoming a real world, otherwise a large number of mindless vengeful spirits will be generated and scattered across the entire land of the Eastern Kingdom. They are more troublesome than ghosts."
Fang Zong nodded: "Even ghosts know they can't eat people indiscriminately; they're afraid of our retaliation."
“Wraiths are not afraid of revenge; they only have the desire to kill and no thoughts at all.”
Knowing that Fang Zong wouldn't stand idly by, Old Wang said again, "After this is over, I will try my best to exchange for a sealed-off territory..."
"Okay, we'll talk about that later. First, tell me what those four characters are."
"The Orphan of Zhao!"
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Fang Zong didn't ask Elder Wang to guarantee him any reward or benefit. The sealed land was such a precious thing that even if Elder Wang wanted to get it from the people who had already been granted it, it would cost a huge price. Moreover, it was no secret that he liked ghosts. Elder Wang sending him to deal with Youye Illusionary Realm was essentially no different from giving him a benefit.
Old Wang didn't pry into his secrets, and he was willing to give Old Wang more smiles.
He is willing to repay kindness tenfold...
"The Orphan of Zhao, the Orphan of Zhao..." Fang Zong didn't rush to set off, but used his phone to look up information about 'The Orphan of Zhao'. This is a very ancient historical tragedy in the Eastern Kingdom, which took place in the ancient Jin Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was adapted into the Yuan Zaju play "The Orphan of Zhao, a victim of injustice," and has continued to the present day with many versions.
Furthermore, the story of "The Orphan of Zhao" may not be the actual story. He found a movie that also depicts the orphan of Zhao, but it differs greatly from the original plot.
"Which one is it?" Fang Zong wondered as he strolled around the campus.
Murong Zhen was in the innermost server room when he learned about the triple agent incident. He suddenly became interested in playing around with the Japanese stock market. He took money from Fang Zong and the Ghost Killing Team, managed the trading, and split the profits 811, with the Ghost Killing Team taking 80%. Given the extent of his antics, it was unknown how much effort and resources the Ghost Killing Team would have to spend cleaning up the mess afterwards.
Fang Zong went over to take a look and found that Murong Zhen's eyes were bloodshot and his fingers were moving rapidly. He originally wanted to ask about the Zhao family orphan, but he didn't ask anymore - there was just too little information. Not to mention Murong Zhen, even if Zhuge Liang were reborn, he probably wouldn't be able to guess what the outcome would be.
"Good morning, Principal!"
"Principal, should I call Teacher Murong..."
Several skilled operators transferred from the Shancheng Ghost Killing Squad branch called Fang Zong by the school's nickname in low voices. Fang Zong shushed them, shook his head, and drifted into the school's back garden.
