'boom'

After a loud explosion, the middle of the cliff on Diaoer Mountain was blasted open by magic power, revealing a hole two people high.

The old traces at the entrance of the cave and the broken stones make it easy to tell that this is a man-made cave, but it was previously blocked by huge rocks.

As the entrance to the cave was broken open, a gust of cold wind instantly blew out from the cave.

Liu Jian, the ghost-catching general at the Songjiang City God Temple, was instantly perked up by the gloomy wind. "There are quite a few evil spirits hiding in here!"

After saying this, he looked at Hei Haier and asked, "God, I will go in right away and capture all these evil spirits."

"Just capture them, don't hurt them." Fang Jian said to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian glanced at Fang Jian. Although he didn't know who this person was, seeing that Hei Hai, a fourth-rank immortal official, was so respectful to him, he thought he must be of high rank. So he immediately bowed and replied, "Yes."

Then Liu Jian ordered the ghost soldiers behind him to rush into the cave. After a while, bursts of miserable and shrill ghost cries were heard from the cave, and then the more than 20 ghost soldiers retreated at an extremely fast speed.

When these ghost soldiers retreated to the cave entrance, Liu Jian couldn't help but take a breath, because it was nearly a hundred young female ghosts who forced the more than twenty ghost soldiers out.

These young female ghosts were also transformed from drowned baby girls, but after turning into evil spirits, they grew up instead.

These female ghosts were dressed in red, with disheveled hair, black eyes and mouths, and a murderous aura as red as blood. At this moment, they were all crowded at the entrance of the cave, looking extremely terrifying.

It’s no wonder that more than 20 ghost soldiers were driven out as soon as they entered. More than a hundred evil spirits are indeed not something that more than 20 ghost soldiers from the City God Temple can deal with.

"Who wants to arrest us?" the leading female ghost shouted sternly.

Liu Jian stepped forward and said, "I am Liu Jian, the ghost-catching general of the Songjiang Prefecture City God Temple. I am here to follow the City God's order to take you back to your reincarnation."

Hearing this, the young female ghosts in the cave roared in anger, and then the leading female ghost said, "Reincarnation? No, we want revenge!"

"Then go and take revenge," Black Boy said. "I haven't seen you go to Duozi Village to take revenge in all these years. Instead, you're hiding in this cave on the cliff. Can you take revenge like this?"

Hearing what Hei Haier said, a female ghost said in a mournful voice: "We were drowned when we were born. Our bodies are hanging on this cliff. We can't get down."

"Once we have cultivated successfully and are able to go down, we will definitely be able to take revenge!"

Black Boy laughed and said, "Can't get down? You're lying!"

"We didn't lie." The female ghosts retorted with grim faces.

Black Boy said, "You have already entered the path of ghost cultivation, how is it possible that you can't get down from this cliff? I think you are afraid of heights and dare not go down, right?"

"You're talking nonsense." The female ghosts suddenly became manic and angry.

Black Boy said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Otherwise, why don't you just lie down in your coffins? Instead, you dug a cave and hid in it. You're afraid of heights and don't dare to go down!"

When Hei Haier said this, the female ghosts were already extremely angry and rushed out of the cave with shrill ghost howls.

Those ghost soldiers immediately stepped forward to capture them, and Liu Jian also flew into the cave himself. As the ghost-catching general of the City God Temple, Liu Jian naturally had the magic to subdue evil spirits.

I saw him making hand gestures, his eyes flashing like lightning, then he raised his palms and clapped them forward. In an instant, divine light shone brightly and a rumbling sound was heard.

Those female ghosts immediately let out shrill wails, then fell to the ground screaming with their hands covering their eyes.

Liu Jian ordered, "Ghost soldiers, listen up! Quickly seize all the evil spirits in front of you and bring them back to the City God Temple to report."

"Yes, sir!" The ghost soldiers shouted, and then stepped forward to capture the female ghosts who were lying on the ground and unable to resist.

Then Liu Jian and the ghost soldiers took these female ghosts out of the cave, and then there was another round of ghost howling. It turned out that just as Heihaier said, these female ghosts were really afraid of heights.

So when they were escorted off the cliff by the ghost soldiers, they screamed in fear and the wind blew coldly.

"What evil ghost? They are just cowards." Black Boy mocked from the side.

"God," Liu Jian bowed to Hei Haier and Fang Jian, "The evil spirit here has been apprehended. I will now return to the City God Temple to report."

"Go ahead, and be careful on your way." Hei Haier said to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian bowed to Hei Haier, then bowed to Fang Jian, then led the ghost soldiers and more than a hundred female ghosts to fly down, and then returned to Songjiang Prefecture along the ghost road.

After Liu Jian left, Fang Jian said to Guo Shi, "Fellow Daoist Guo, let's go find the souls of your men now."

"Okay." Guo Shi nodded.

Afterwards, Fang Jian, Heihaier and Guo Shi began to search the area around Diaoer Mountain for the souls and energy of Guo Shi's thirty men. Although the souls of those thirty men were gone, their bodies were still there, so they only needed to take three strands of their hair to use the soul-searching method to find the location of their souls.

However, three days passed quickly, and Fang Jian and the other two found nothing. The only thing they could be sure of was that the souls of those thirty people were still in the world of the living, but no one knew where they were hidden. Even using their hair, essence, and blood, they could not find any trace.

This was the first time Fang Jian had encountered such a thing, but he was not worried. Instead, he felt a little curious.

As a Taiyi Golden Immortal, anyone who could hide their soul from him must also be a Taiyi Golden Immortal, or they must have used some magical powers or spells that he had never seen before.
