Chapter 44
While the audience was enjoying the show crazily, Xue Tinghe was still trapped in the ghost girl's pre-death illusion, repeatedly experiencing the experience of being pushed down the stairs and falling to his death.
It wasn't until the old house suddenly shook that he finally woke up for a moment from the pain of falling down the stairs.
After all, he was one of the most talented celestial masters. This short moment was enough for him to seize the opportunity and immediately perform the Golden Dragon Art.
A golden dragon as thick as a bucket roared out, immediately breaking the ghost girl's illusion and sweeping away the evil spirits around her.
Xue Tinghe panted and glanced at the camera that was still flashing red light to show that it had been working diligently. His face looked very ugly. He turned around and glared fiercely at the female ghost who was forced out of her body by the golden dragon, with murderous intent in his heart.
Everything he had just experienced in the illusion was likely witnessed by the audience in the live broadcast room. Now he could only kill the ghost and silence him so that there would be no evidence. After leaving here, he could also say that the ghost's words should not be fully believed.
After a person dies, the three souls and the spirit are separated, the life soul and the seven spirits dissipate, and only the heavenly soul and the earthly soul fly to the underworld to be judged. The ones that are forcibly left in the human world are only some of the seven spirits that dissipated due to obsession. Therefore, evil ghosts have incomplete memories, and may even be deeply affected by the obsession and resentment after death, which distorts their memories and thoughts, so they tell a lot of nonsense.
It is the consensus of all heavenly masters that the words of evil spirits cannot be fully trusted.
However, keeping this female ghost would be a big trouble. Thinking of this, he commanded the golden dragon to rush towards the female ghost fiercely.
The audience in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded when they saw this sudden change.
What does he want to do? Kill the demons and silence them?
[Oh no! Ghost sister, run! ! ! ! ! !]
But what no one expected was that the female ghost not only did not run away, but also curled the corners of her mouth at Xue Tinghe, revealing an unfathomable smile.
Xue Tinghe's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong, but it was too late. The golden dragon had already rushed in front of the female ghost. Before the golden dragon could touch her, she suddenly disappeared, and the golden dragon rushed into the wall behind her.
Bang! It was a sound like a mirror shattering.
Xue Tinghe knew that the formation used by the Tianshi Association to refine the captured ghosts was broken.
Xue Tinghe's eyes were bloodshot, and his mind was full of "Why is this happening?"
How could the female ghost who was supposed to be thrown into the soul refining formation suddenly appear? How could the female ghost know the weak point of the soul refining formation?
The Qi family's formation is very advanced, and even the most proficient elders of the Tianshi Association cannot comprehend it much. They can only use the sealing formation in this accidentally discovered ancient house to trap the wronged souls and evil spirits they captured under the pretext of taking them back for salvation, and then set up a soul refining formation based on the original sealing formation.
They thought they had integrated the two formations perfectly, and at least even he, the only heir of the Qi family, could not find any flaws.
Thinking of this, Xue Tinghe froze. That's right, he was no longer the only heir of the Qi family. Even this female ghost was summoned by that person.
Xue Tinghe gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Yue!"
He wanted to remedy the situation quickly, at least destroy the camera, but before he could do anything, a hand came from behind on both sides of his shoulders. Before he could struggle, the two people behind him twisted his arms behind his back. When he turned around, he saw that they were two people from the Special Management Bureau who had sneaked in from nowhere.
A surge of yin energy erupted into the sky, as if darkness had fallen, and the shrill cries and howls of many people filled the entire world. Even the audience in the live broadcast room felt their scalps tingle and their backs chilled, and goose bumps appeared all over their bodies due to the apocalyptic scene and the extremely shrill cries.
Then a scene that made it extremely difficult for them to get here appeared.
Many ghosts rushed out from the center of the Yin Qi outbreak.
There was a teenage boy whose body was twisted abnormally after being thrown, with his brain mixed with blood all over the ground: "Save me! I was wrong! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I regret it! I want to continue living and study hard..."
A woman with blood dripping from her lower body kept stroking her flat belly, mumbling in a daze: "Baby, where is my baby? Baby, where are you? Come out and let mommy take a look, okay? Just one look..."
A delivery man, holding his head with his hands tilted at an incredible angle, kept muttering, "Hurry up, I'm going to be late! Nannan's medicine is almost gone, I need to make more money quickly..."
A worker covered in dry cement struggled and cried out, "I'm here! I'm buried in the ground, someone come and help me!..."
Another young woman, wearing pajamas and barefoot, with bruises all over her face and severe strangulation marks on her neck, wept bitterly, "Mom and Dad, please believe me. I didn't run away with another man. I didn't bring shame to you. I was killed by that beast..."
There were also students who jumped from buildings after being bullied, children who died after being kidnapped and abused, and only wanted to go home, elderly people with dementia who starved to death after waiting for their children to return, uncles who jumped into the water to save others but drowned themselves, and even firefighters who were completely engulfed in flames but still stubbornly continued to put out fires, and police officers who were stabbed countless times and covered in blood...
The audience was shocked. These were real... ghosts?
Their idea was soon confirmed, and someone recognized some of their ghosts.
Isn't that my neighbor's daughter's dad? Their family was also pitiful. They were a well-off family of five, but then they were in a car accident. His wife died, his elderly and frail parents were disabled, and the driver was also broke and in a vegetative state. The family couldn't afford compensation. Later, their three-year-old daughter, Nannan, became seriously ill, and the family's hopes fell on him. He could only make more money by delivering food. However, as fate would have it, while rushing to deliver food, he slipped on the wet ground and fell off his electric scooter, breaking his neck and dying instantly. Leaving their seriously ill daughter to be cared for by two disabled elders is truly tragic!
"Tingting! Is that you, Tingting? Your father and I never believed that beast's lies and never gave up on looking for you. I told you my daughter has always been an excellent student. How could she do such a thing? Even if she really didn't want to live with him anymore, she could have divorced him. How could she have run off in her pajamas and eloped with someone, even refusing to contact her family for so many years out of shame?"
[What a bastard! He killed my daughter and then slandered her for so many years! I want him to pay for my daughter's life! ! ! !]
"Uncle! It's really my uncle! He drowned in the river near our village over a decade ago while trying to save two drowning children. That river is prone to accidents. Before my uncle's death, children were mysteriously drowning every year. After my uncle's death, miraculously, anyone who fell in was always swept back to shore, and no one has died since. But three years ago, a few Taoist priests claiming to be celestial masters went to the river to perform a ritual to liberate the souls of the deceased, and people started drowning again. So, uncle, why are you here? Are you the reason why people who fell into the river didn't die all those years because you saved them?"
"Son! That firefighter covered in flames is my son! He died fighting a fire. Ever since, even after the mall was rebuilt, it's been haunted. People have seen the firefighter covered in flames wandering around the mall putting out the fire. The owner, guessing our son couldn't rest in peace after death, contacted us and asked a celestial master from the Tianshi Association to perform a ritual to liberate my son. But why? Even after he's been liberated, why is my son's ghost still here?!"
I recognized the company logo on the worker's uniform. It belonged to a well-known real estate developer in our city. I remember hearing a while ago that a plot of land owned by that developer was haunted. They invited a celestial master from the Tianshi Association to perform a ritual to liberate the spirit, and since then, nothing has happened since then, and work can resume smoothly.
The audience finally found the key word—the Celestial Masters Association. Oh, and this variety show was launched because the production team changed its investors. The director also admitted that the location and process of the show were all planned by the Celestial Masters Association. What a coincidence! Among the many ghosts that suddenly appeared, many were confirmed to have been liberated by the Celestial Masters Association. Who would believe that there was no trickery involved?
At this moment, a young and beautiful girl among the ghosts slowly walked towards the camera. She seemed to be the most sober among the ghosts, but her figure was also the most vague, like an illusion formed by the refraction of sunlight that would dissipate at any time, leaving only the faint starlight and the still dazzling candlelight.
She stood in front of the camera, feet together, at attention, and saluted vigorously. Her voice was sonorous and powerful: "Report, police number XXXXXX, undercover agent Tian Yu reports, mission completed, codeword is @#￥￥%￥#... I now request to return to the team, and I hope the world will be free of drugs..."
A tear fell from her determined eyes. In front of everyone, she turned into stars in the sky with regret and unwillingness and disappeared.
Everyone was so shocked by this scene that they were speechless. It felt like their throats were blocked by a huge stone, and they were choking uncomfortably.
Someone immediately searched the police number online and copied the information they found onto the barrage.
This police number, passed down through three generations of the Tian family, was permanently sealed seven years ago. It was only this year, when Tian Yu's comrades saw off her only remaining relative, her grandmother, that the stories and photos of her, her father, and her grandfather were made public.
And the photo published on the official website is exactly the same as that girl!
Both her grandfather and father died while catching drug dealers. She later attended police academy and went undercover. During her last contact with Shangguan, she announced that she had found evidence of a major drug lord's trafficking. However, before she could hand it over, it was discovered and she quickly disappeared into hiding. She only managed to leave half a code for the organization before she vanished, and her body was never seen again.
It was not until the organization paid more efforts and blood that they finally caught the drug lord and criminal gang three years later, and they found the evidence hidden by Tian Yu.
After seeing the evidence, many people felt very sorry. If they had obtained the evidence earlier, they could have arrested the drug traffickers earlier, which would have reduced more victims and sacrifices. They felt even more sorry that Tian Yu failed to achieve his goal.
After reading the footage, viewers learned that even after her death, Tian Yu, transformed into a ghost, still lingered in the human world, unwilling to leave, determined only to relay the secret code back to the organization. They also finally understood Tian Yu's tears, her final regret, and her unwillingness. The words she uttered before fading were likely repeated countless times by her, like the other ghosts.
Tian Yu's boss, who had rushed over after receiving a notification from the Special Management Bureau, didn't even have time to see her one last time. He only watched the few rapidly fading stars and could only tearfully utter the words Tian Yu wanted to hear the most:
[Narcotics Control Corps: Welcome, Officer XXXXXX, the hero Tian Yu, back to the team! ]
At the same time, the anti-drug official website also released a black and white photo of Tian Yu again, and the official website was gray and white: Welcome police number XXXXXX, the hero Tian Yu is back!
And below he tweeted @Tianshi Association, demanding that they give an explanation regarding Tian Yu’s matter.
When Tian Yu's identity was confirmed, the audience burst into tears and the anger in their hearts was finally ignited.
[Why did this happen? Did Tian Yu's spirit fly away? Why is she here? What did the Celestial Master Association do to her? Did they already capture Tian Yu's ghost and know her identity? Why didn't they notify the authorities? Why didn't they tell the authorities about such an important code?! Celestial Master Association, stop playing dead! Come out and explain everything!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Tianshi Association, what's going on with these ghosts? Why are the ghosts that were supposedly liberated showing up here? What have you done to these heroes and innocent ghosts? Don't say that humans and ghosts have different paths and that humans are more important. That's bullshit! Ghosts are transformed from dead people too! Just because a person is dead doesn't mean you, the idiot Tianshi, can do whatever you want! Stop playing dead and come out and explain yourself! ! ! !]
In such a short moment, not only Tian Yu, but the audience also saw several ghosts as illusory as light and shadow turn into light spots and disappear.
The audience went crazy when they realized what this meant.
At this moment, the female ghost reappeared, facing the camera head-on. She solemnly stated, "I'm Yu Zhenzhen, reporting this in my real name. The Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Association are capturing ghosts in the name of salvation or exorcism. Regardless of whether they've been killed, wronged, or have meritorious deeds, they've all been imprisoned and sealed in this ancient house for soul refinement. They're refining all the ghosts into soul power for their cultivation."
audience:! ! !
Tianshi Association, you deserve to die! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The Special Management Bureau had already begun its roundup when Xue Tinghe broke the formation and a large number of ghosts appeared. At Director Lin's command, the people ambushing the Tianshi Association rushed in, and the insiders also stopped pretending and suddenly took action to help the Special Management Bureau quickly control the scene.
Xu Jitong was still watching the live broadcast and was about to curse Xue Tinghe for being more trouble than helpful when his most trusted secretary pointed a gun at his head. He was completely frightened and dared not move.
Others continued to surround the ancient residence from deep within. The Celestial Master Association was refining souls there, so naturally they had deployed guards. However, they were hiding deep within the residence today to make room for Xue Tinghe to film a variety show.
Some special management bureau personnel also took out the soul-collecting equipment they had developed and prepared to collect all the ghosts and bring them back to the bureau.
Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard from deep within the old house, and the roar of an unknown monster resounded throughout the house. All the ghosts were frightened and huddled together, trembling in fear. Others were also shocked so much that their eyes saw stars, and fear took over their brains. It was the fear from the depths of their souls when weak creatures faced predators from the upper food chain!
The Special Management Bureau personnel and the Tianshi Association members who had penetrated the ancient house to capture people were running around frantically, cursing the Tianshi Association members as they ran: "Are you crazy? If we catch you, you'll just go to jail for a few years, or be shot at most, and you can still have an afterlife after death. How could you actually let this thing out? Don't you even want an afterlife? You just want your soul to be shattered and never be reborn!"
The people from the Celestial Master Association were also in tears. "Stop cursing! We didn't know this thing existed! Why? Isn't there only a Thousand-Headed Ghost Viper sealed in here?"
Someone from the Special Management Bureau said, "Look back, your Thousand-Headed Ghost Viper is being chewed like a spicy snack by that thing!"
The miserable howling of a thousand-headed ghost vipers came from behind him very appropriately.
“…”
The people from the Tianshi Association didn't dare to look back and ran even faster.
Xue Tinghe was the first to come to his senses. He took the opportunity to break free from the control of the Special Management Bureau. While running, he took out the special refined mobile phone he had been hiding. The change was too big, and he had to notify his master immediately. His master and the elders were heroes who saved the world. The Special Management Bureau would definitely not dare to do anything to him. His master would definitely have a way.

Qi An was leading Qi Yue around the complicated formation and heading towards the center of the seal formation. After they entered the seal formation, Qi Yue lost contact with the black mist clone he left with Gu Yunshuang, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Qi'an is the formation spirit, so he can still sense what is happening above the formation.
Suddenly Qi An frowned and said with suppressed anger: "Are those people crazy? They actually let that thing out! And at this time."
He turned to look at Qi Yue: "It seems we have to move faster."
Qi Yue's eyebrows jumped violently, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
