A chilling white mist rose from the well.
"Ahhh..."
A chilling cry echoed through the air.
A thick clump of black hair grew wildly from the well!
"Fa Lan, watch out!"
Mo Xie lightly touched the ground with her feet, leaped forward, hugged Fa Lan, and took a few steps back.
She narrowly avoided the flying black hair.
Falan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was..."
Mo Xie shook his head and said, "It's good that you're alright."
"So you...you can let go now?" Fa Lan asked, her head bowed and her cheeks flushed.
"Oh..." Mo Xie chuckled and released the arm that was wrapped around her shoulder.
"Ahhh..." The crying became even more shrill and piercing!
Mo Xie drew her sword with her left hand and used her right hand to protect Fa Lan as they retreated a few steps.
Fa Lan said in a deep voice, "This is a vengeful ghost!"
"A vengeful ghost?"
“That’s right! A vengeful ghost is the most terrifying ghost that the unjustly dead can transform into... even more powerful than the ghost from the underworld you killed before!”
Mo Xie's face darkened. "Is that so? Then it is indeed a bit tricky."
He had to use all his trump cards to defeat that great demon from the underworld.
"Ahhh..."
White mist and black hair surged wildly from the well, and a pale hand suddenly appeared at the edge of the well.
As the piercing wailing sound entered her ears, Mo Xie felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and a wave of dizziness wash over her.
He bit his tongue and snapped out of his daze.
"With unparalleled soul power by my side, why would I be afraid of you?"
Mo Xie's eyes were fixed, her mind focused and her spirit calmed.
Although the sobbing sound was still there, it had almost no effect on Moye.
Looking at Fa Lan again, one could see her pursing her pink lips and pinching two fingers together, struggling to hold on.
Mo Xie then extended two fingers and touched her smooth forehead, unleashing a powerful surge of soul energy, "Suppress!"
Fa Lan was also freed from the terrifying wailing. She first thanked Mo Xie, then tilted her head and said with a look of surprise, "This is the Ghost Cry, a terrifying technique that only powerful ghosts possess."
"Even my Daoist elders need to rely on unique magical artifacts to resist the Ghost's Cry... You clearly have no Daoist cultivation, so how did you manage to do it?"
Mo Xie shook his head and smiled, saying inscrutably, "A person's soul is not necessarily weak... Be careful, she's out!"
Fa Lan stopped asking questions and looked at the well with a serious expression.
All I saw was...
A woman in white with disheveled hair slowly climbed out of the well, supporting herself with her hands.
Thick, black hair and a chilling, ghostly aura surrounded her.
"Sadako?"
Mo Xie thought to himself, "But I'm no ordinary person either. Even if Sadako really comes, I have nothing to fear!"
"Ughhhhh..."
The white-clad female ghost seemed to stretch, her body twisting eerily as she let out a low growl of extreme pain.
"Such strong resentment!"
Mo Xie felt a tremor in his soul, his soul perception giving him a signal that this thing was extremely dangerous.
"Okay, I take back what I just said..."
He turned his head and said, "If things don't look good later, we'll escape...wait, where is everyone?"
Fa Lan's robes billowed as she rushed forward, her clear, icy words reaching Mo Xie's ears, "Young Master, this ghost is extremely dangerous and has nothing to do with you. You should leave first!"
"Could it be related to you?"
Mo Xie gripped the demonic sword tightly, not quite understanding.
Fa Lan raised his magical weapon and struck the female ghost, his tone devoid of ferocity but filled with compassion, "You died a tragic and unjust death, and were transformed into a vengeful ghost by someone using ghost magic. Let me help you find liberation."
"Can I understand what you're saying? Silly Taoist nun..." Mo Xie couldn't understand, but... he found this little Taoist nun more and more adorable.
"Fine! If you die, I won't be able to find that bastard protagonist anyway!"
With a flick of her three-foot-long demonic sword, Mo Xie transformed it into a peach wood sword and leaped into the air.
Sizzle!
With a single sword stroke, he severed the black hair and landed beside Fa Lan.
Fa Lan's voice held a hint of joy, "You...you didn't leave?"
Mo Xie said, "Don't misunderstand, if I really can't win, I still have to run away!"
Fa Lan nodded and said, "That's only human nature! I have a way to send this ghost into reincarnation, don't worry!"
Mo Xie scoffed, "Heh, are you not human? In a situation where death is certain, you have to go and die?"
As a ruthless villain, he couldn't stand this kind of saintly person.
What else could the law she speaks of be?
It's nothing more than some ultimate move that requires sacrifice to use!
Even a fool could figure that out.
Fa Lan said, "To eliminate evil and protect the righteous path for the common people is the duty of our sect."
As Mo Xie cut off the ghost's hair, she said with exasperation, "But this world doesn't belong to you alone!"
"But this world belongs to us... How can I bear to watch it be ravaged by demons?" Fa Lan looked at Mo Xie's back with gentle eyes and said softly, "Fellow Daoist... you're too attached to appearances!"
A soft spot stirred in Mo Xie's heart. After a long silence, she nodded and said, "I understand..."
Fa Lan nodded vigorously, relieved, and said, "It's good that you understand..."
Mo Xie added, "If we really can't beat you then, I'll just knock you out and take you away!"
Fa Lan's beautiful face froze for a moment.
She pursed her lips, but then smiled silently.
...
"ah!"
The female ghost, perhaps driven mad by Mo Xie and the other person, let out a shrill scream.
She no longer attacks with her black hair, but instead hides her dense black hair.
