He walked up to Qi Yu, adopting the air of an elder, and looked at him with a serious tone.

"Qi Yu, right! You better stay right behind your uncle and don't hold him back!"

Qi Yu looked at the strange uncle in front of him and was somewhat moved.

He clearly wanted to protect himself, but he pretended to be fierce.

He felt a warmth in his heart, but said respectfully, "Understood, Twelfth Uncle!"

Twelve, secretly pleased by his address, thought: Hahaha! Jun Jinyu, your father usually enslaves us; now you'd better prepare to pay off his debts! Hahahaha~

Qin Luo ignored his madness and continued to send the hunting dogs to find a way out.

I'm waiting for Jingming to arrive so we can work together to help all the ghosts here find peace.

But fate had other plans; the group was subsequently controlled by an extremely powerful energy.

The once desolate city was now strangely imbued with an eerie atmosphere.

A figure slowly appeared before them, its form twisted.

His empty eyes stared straight at Qin Luo, as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her at any moment.

Qin Luo felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at, and Twelve and Thirteen also sensed the different way the ghosts treated Qin Luo.

They both stood in front of her, blocking her disgusting gaze.

Suddenly, the ghost vanished, like a wisp of smoke in the night wind, ethereal and illusory.

It originally intended to pass through the bodies of Twelve and Thirteen to reach Qin Luo's side.

But they were intercepted by the abbot halfway there.

"I advise you to let go of your obsession and reincarnate as soon as possible, instead of staying here and harming people!"

He then lashed out with his whip at the ghost, while the young Taoist priest shook his vajra bell and threw talismans at it.

Qin Luo told Twelve and Thirteen to take Qi Yu and follow the hunting dogs ahead, while he stayed behind to help.

The three were about to refuse when Qin Luo used the Demon Vine to wrap them up and throw them a long way away. The hunting dogs also ran in the direction they were thrown.

After they left, Qin Luo no longer needed to worry about his differences being discovered by the imperial court!

Twelve and thirteen are alright, but Qi Yu is the most unstable factor.

No one can guarantee that he won't become emperor someday, let alone that he won't trade his differences for his own life.

Without any further hesitation, Qin Luo swung the Demon Vine at the ghost.

The more the monster fought, the angrier it became. The surrounding air seemed to thin, and the invisible pressure made people feel suffocated.

It stretched out its withered hands, its fingertips flashing with a blackish-red light, and in the next instant, the life force in the bodies of the people rapidly drained away.

The abbot turned around and pushed the young Taoist priest and Qin Luo away.

"You all hurry, I'll hold it off..."

Before he could finish speaking, three figures appeared in front of Qin Luo.

Wu Hua used her energy to pull the abbot over, and incidentally knocked the ghost away.

Fan Xing and Xia Beinian followed closely behind, punching and kicking the ghost.

"You ugly thing, how dare you bully my sister! I think you want to live, oh no! You want to die a death worse than death!"

The ghosts were shocked to find they had such powerful allies; they tried to escape but couldn't.

It looked at Xia Beinian with a face full of terror.

"You are the Ghost King? Why are you helping humans?"

Xia Beinian nearly shattered its soul with a single punch.

"She's my sister-in-law, who do you think you are?"

Ghosts...

"The mighty Ghost King actually married a human woman..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Xing stepped forward and kicked him.

"Open your ghost eyes and see clearly, am I even human?"

The ghost looked at Fan Xing in disbelief.

"You're not a ghost, what are you?!"

Fan Xing gave it another beating.

"I am your great-aunt!"

The two souls were locked in a fierce battle, leaving the abbot and the young Taoist priest watching from the sidelines completely dumbfounded.

After exchanging a glance, the two turned their attention to Qin Luo.

Qin Luo and Wu Hua are still cheering for Erhun.

"Hit it, hit it, shatter its soul!"

"Sister, gouge its eyes out! It looked so disgusting when it looked at me!"

Seeing how enthusiastically they were shouting, the abbot and the young Taoist priest didn't go forward to disturb them, but simply waited quietly to the side.

Just as the two souls were about to scatter the ghost's soul, a rotten and damp stench wafted over.

A twisted and ferocious face appeared in mid-air, its entire body shrouded in black mist.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Luo discovered that it wasn't black mist, but rather chains formed from black runes.

She swiftly used her energy to pull the two souls back, and then the vengeful ghost devoured the previous ghost in one gulp.

Fan Xing patted his chest in lingering fear.

"Thank goodness you were quick enough, sister, otherwise I'd be its fart by now!"

Xia Beinian nervously held her hand.

"The stars, they've probably been dead longer than the two of us!"

Wu Hua unleashed a burst of energy at the vengeful ghost, which was knocked back a few steps, but the damage was minimal.

It ran behind Qin Luo and said timidly, "Luo Luo, I don't think I can beat it!"

Qin Luo was terrified inside, but calmly comforted it on the surface.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of us!"

Then she looked at the abbot and the young Taoist priest, only to find that both of them had their heads almost touching the ground.

The vengeful ghost burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"You bunch of little brats think you can fight me? You're overestimating yourselves!"

With a casual wave of its hand, it trapped the three people, two souls, one beast, and one vine in the ghost realm!

No matter how they attacked, it was to no avail.

The vengeful ghost seemed to be admiring its prey in the cage, deliberately toying with them.

"If you offer that little auspicious beast to me, I will release you, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hua was so frightened that she clung tightly to Qin Luo's leg. Qin Luo quickly picked her up and comforted her.

"I will not hand you over to any ghost, not even if I die!"

Only then did the abbot realize who the deity had come down to see. He went over and took Wu Hua's small hand.

"I can't either!"

The young Taoist priest chimed in, "Me too!"
