Chapter 323 Ghost Messenger
"We've finally found the one who slipped through the net. Let's go over there. I wonder which ghost was so bold as to cause trouble instead of finding a safe place to hide!"
The ghost messenger looked at the soaring ghostly aura and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I used to be too lazy to bother with those evil ghosts."
However, the Ghost King has recently given orders, and they must obey them.
Although they didn't know what the Ghost King wanted to do with these evil spirits.
But this is not something these lowly minions can worry about. Also, it would be good if these evil spirits were cleaned up.
Otherwise, they would keep fooling the newborn ghosts and taking advantage of the soul-reaping messengers' inattention to kill them, which would cause the City of Rebirth to lose a lot of revenue.
As for these ghost messengers who belong to the City of Rebirth, their welfare benefits have also deteriorated significantly when their performance in the city is poor, which has caused them a great deal of annoyance.
Another thing is that these evil spirits are not only slippery, but also quite powerful.
Even if they are ghost messengers, they probably wouldn't fare well against these evil spirits alone.
So after the Ghost King issued the order, they went about in pairs in the City of Rebirth, which improved their efficiency in catching evil spirits.
However, after several months of continuous efforts to catch them, these evil spirits have become increasingly adept at hiding. There are only a few left, and every time we are about to catch them, they always escape at the last moment.
Upon seeing the soaring ghostly aura, the two ghost messengers were overjoyed; this was a performance record that was almost within their grasp! How could they possibly let it go so easily?
It must be two evil spirits fighting, otherwise, how could there be such a strong ghostly aura?
Upon realizing this, the two ghost messengers exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they quickly ran towards the location where the ghostly energy was emanating.
Unaware that two ghost messengers were about to arrive, the female ghost was so enraged that she lost her mind and completely forgot that she was still on the run.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the house and on Gu Xinyan and the others inside.
Its scarlet eyes, now tinged black by ghostly energy, were already terrifying, but now they were even more horrifying.
Fortunately, Gu Xinyan and the others were not afraid of ghosts. Besides, there were six of them in total, and they were all emboldened by each other.
So when they looked at the female ghost outside, their eyes even changed color, showing great interest. They discussed it while pointing at the female ghost.
The undiminished volume allowed the female ghost to hear everything clearly and distinctly.
As a result, the female ghost, who was already furious, not only had her eyes turn black, but her skin was also covered by a layer of black mist.
The fingernails on all ten fingers instantly grew longer, the jet-black nails appearing incredibly sharp under the reflection of the blood moon, gleaming with a cold, eerie light like daggers.
Immediately afterwards, the female ghost let out a sharp scream, so loud that Gu Xinyan and the others couldn't help but cover their ears.
However, the next second, the female ghost's figure flashed, transforming into a black lightning bolt, and rushed towards the store again, this time at a speed several times faster than before.
But the moment she got close to the store, the female ghost suddenly swung her hands forward, and ten black ghostly energies, like sharp blades, attacked the protective shield.
However, the female ghost's plan was quite good, but unfortunately, when this move landed on the protective shield, it only caused a slight ripple.
It deflected all the sharp blades formed from ghostly energy, rendering them completely ineffective against it.
The ghostly blades that were deflected all returned along the same path, heading straight towards the direction where the female ghost was.
Unexpectedly, the female ghost was unable to dodge the ghostly blade that was deflected back, and was hit squarely by her own ghostly blade.
At this moment, even the ghostly aura around her body became unstable, and a hint of madness flashed in the female ghost's eyes when she saw this.
Luckily, I had just swallowed something very nutritious, otherwise I really wouldn't have had any other options right now.
So she gathered her ghostly energy once more, forming a huge black ghost sphere in front of her.
On the surface of the ghost ball, tiny runes flickered, making it look incredibly eerie.
The people inside the shop also felt a chilling power emanating from the female ghost's sphere.
The next second, the female ghost continued to pour all the ghost energy in her body into the ghost ball, and then in the next instant, she threw the ghost ball violently towards the protective shield.
The moment the black ghost ball collided with the protective shield, a deafening roar erupted.
The powerful impact also snapped the surrounding trees and created cracks in the ground.
Even so, the protective shield remained completely still, standing there steadily.
Due to the excessive consumption of ghostly energy, the female ghost's already pale face became even whiter.
Not only did it turn white, it became somewhat transparent, and it collapsed helplessly to the ground, its eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"Out of ideas? Then let's get started!"
Seeing the female ghost slumped on the ground, Gu Xinyan waved her hand and took out her spirit sword from her spatial backpack.
After performing a graceful sword flourish in the air, just as he was about to rush out and finish off the female ghost with a single strike, he was drawn to the presence of two ghost messengers who suddenly appeared.
The reason they knew the two who came were ghost messengers was because they were both dressed in matching black clothes, just like the robes worn by officials in ancient times.
There was a large "差" (cha) character on their backs, and on the left side of their chests, the three characters "往生城" (Wangsheng City) were embroidered with gold thread. Upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Xinyan sheathed her spirit sword and looked at the two ghost messengers.
The two ghost messengers hadn't expected that they had come by following the ghostly aura. The ghostly aura had been so strong that it had overwhelmed the living person's presence.
Seeing several living people in their ghost realm was truly terrifying. The two ghost messengers exchanged a silent glance.
The next second, a small flag appeared out of nowhere, and it was waved a few times in the direction of the female ghost. Before the female ghost could say anything, the ghost disappeared.
Gu Xinyan and the others: "........."
Were they here for the female ghost? Before they could even finish the thought, the two ghost messengers turned around and stared straight at them.
Fortunately, these two ghost messengers were relatively normal, unlike the female ghost, who looked completely abnormal.
The two ghost messengers in front of them, apart from having long hair, had no difference in pupil color or anything else.
