Chapter 154: Monument King: Her spiritual weapon is not amber fire at all...
"An undead spirit that possesses a body?"
Ye Yangjia repeated Lin Zhuyue's words, then carefully looked at Yao Hanshuang, who was dominating the arena, and muttered,
"Although his temperament is completely different, I still feel like he's not possessed."
Shi Can stood up and explained, "Because the spirit possessing him has a very similar aura to his."
"What's the smell like?"
Ye Yangjia asked,
"Could it be that he also has a dead brother or sister?"
Wen Miyan slapped Ye Yangjia on the head.
"From how ferocious he is, he's definitely an old ghost." Wen Miyan pointed at Yao Hanshuang, who looked down upon everyone on the field and said, "He must be an ancestor or something like that."
Lin Zhuyue didn’t quite understand, she only knew that there must be another soul playing tricks in Yao Hanshuang’s body.
Gong Yongyuan had already rushed to the edge of the field. The referee wanted to stop him, but he waved the referee away and rushed onto the field.
"Yao Hanshuang" stood on the court, his hands behind his back like an old man, looking coldly at Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo with his gloomy eyes, as well as Hongdou who was easily overturned by him.
Although Hongdou was knocked out, she did not suffer any serious injuries. She immediately got up from the ground and floated behind Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo who were holding hands, ready to fight again.
On the field, Yao Hanshuang's soldiers, those massive beasts, rose to their feet one by one. They stood before "Yao Hanshuang," their eyes gleaming with a faint green light. Their expressions were completely different from when they first appeared on the field. They were fierce, sinister, and devoid of self, like weapons.
Yao Hanshuang reached out to Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo—
Gong Yongyuan grabbed his outstretched wrist and said in shock:
"Stop, this is just a competition. If you kill someone here, Yao Hanshuang's situation will become very difficult in the future!"
"Yao Hanshuang" looked at Gong Yongyuan coldly. Those immortals with green eyes also turned their heads and stared at Gong Yongyuan ferociously like jackals, ready to bite him at any time.
"You are an ancestor after all! He is your descendant!"
Gong Yongyuan did not back down, but pleaded with him,
"Even if you don't acknowledge him as your current disciple, you should still consider him!"
Faced with this earnest plea and exhortation, Yao Hanshuang remained unmoved; he simply felt annoyed. He shook off Gong Yongyuan's hand, and then, the immortals all leaped up and pounced on Gong Yongyuan, their mouths open, their fangs sharp. It's easy to imagine that if they pounced on him, Gong Yongyuan would be completely torn to pieces.
At this moment, a rain of arrows shot over, and the immortals retreated temporarily to dodge.
Liu Nanguo said, holding a bow:
"I don't know what the situation is, but this isn't a competition anymore, is it?"
Shi Xiangsi also shot an arrow, which went straight to Yao Hanshuang's face.
"Yao Hanshuang" caught the arrow with his hand, exerted force with his feet, rotated on the spot, and threw the arrow back to Shi Xiangsi who shot the arrow.
Shi Xiangsi dodged swiftly.
"Don't get involved! Get out of here!"
Gong Yongyuan turned around and looked at Shi Xiangsi and Liu Nanguo and said,
"He's not someone you can handle! Do you want to lose your own lives, or let Hongdou's soul fly away?"
"Yao Hanshuang" stretched out his hand towards Gong Yongyuan's back.
At that moment, a golden arrow shot across the field, shooting straight towards Yao Hanshuang. Yao Hanshuang tried to grab the arrow, but it pierced his palm and pierced it. Then, the arrow transformed into golden flames, burning from his palm upwards.
"Yao Hanshuang" narrowed his eyes and looked towards the source of the arrow.
Lin Zhuyue stood in the audience with his feet on the ground, holding a recurve bow in his hand.
She drew her bow, and the golden amber fire condensed into an arrow, ready to shoot the second arrow at "Yao Hanshuang".
Golden amber fire is an extremely yang fire, and it has a strong restraining effect on yin-attributed spirits such as the undead. No matter how powerful the undead in "Yao Hanshuang"'s body is, as long as he is an undead, he will be burned by this flame.
However, "Yao Hanshuang" waved his hand and the golden amber fire was extinguished.
Lin Zhuyue widened his eyes.
"Yao Hanshuang" stretched out his hand towards Lin Zhuyue, and black mist rushed out.
Gong Yongyuan shouted in horror: "Scatter!"
The official spiritualists present at the scene stood up at the same time. They looked serious and silently chanted spells. A golden barrier rose at the edge of the field.
Three spiritual masters, including Fu Xingwei, quickly jumped out of the audience seats and came to the arena.
Fu Xingwei shouted, "Everyone, evacuate outside the barrier!"
The referee and the grounds staff turned and fled.
Fu Xingwei and two other colleagues carried Gong Yongyuan, Shi Xiangsi, and Liu Nanguo and ran out of the barrier. Fortunately, Yao Hanshuang's target wasn't them, but Lin Zhuyue in the audience. The black mist he released didn't chase Gong Yongyuan, but instead went straight towards the barrier.
With a loud bang, the barrier shook, and golden runes fell like powder.
After placing Gong Yongyuan and the twin sisters in the audience seats, Fu Xingwei and two colleagues immediately devoted themselves to maintaining the barrier.
"Hold on, and wait for reinforcements from the Spiritual Master's Mansion."
Fu Xingwei looked at Yao Hanshuang on the field with a complicated expression and said,
"Retrieve his information and find out what's going on."
Gong Yongyuan walked up the stairs in a daze and came to his classmates.
"Is this the one that beat you up in your house before?"
Ye Yangjia pointed at "Yao Hanshuang" on the field and asked,
"What the hell is this? Why would the immortals listen to him?"
"He is the Monument King."
Shi Can said,
"The Chuma Hall doesn't just have animal fairies like Hu, Huang, Hui, Bai, and Liu. When the underworld still existed, the Chuma Hall had to interact with the underworld to handle certain matters, so there are also ghost fairies in the hall. Ghost fairies are divided into two categories: Qingfeng and Beiwang. Qingfeng's origins are nothing special, but Beiwang is more special. Beiwang were usually disciples in their lifetime. Many Beiwangs in the halls are the ancestors of the disciples."
"Although the underworld has been sealed, in the Northeast region, the longer-established sects still retain Qingfeng and Beiwang."
Wen Miyan looked at Yao Hanshuang who was still on the court with a complicated expression:
"In other words, the undead spirit possessing Yao Hanshuang is the former owner of the hall?"
"He is Yao Hanshuang's ancestor, right? Why is he treating Yao Hanshuang like this?"
"There are some problems in the hall..."
Gong Yongyuan sighed and told the truth.
"Disciples are not ordinary humans. They are not in the Book of Life and Death, and therefore cannot be reincarnated. After death, the only path they can take is to become a Monument King, practice cultivation, and become an immortal. Only in this way can they escape the suffering of reincarnation."
"However, spiritual energy waned, and the path for ghosts to ascend was cut off. This was a devastating blow to this ancestor who longed to become an immortal. But at that time, the path for humans to ascend had not yet been cut off. Although it was very weak, it was better than having no hope at all. So he began to seize the body of his disciple..."
Shi Can asked, "Even humans don't have the chance to ascend now, right?"
Gong Yongyuan nodded, looked at "Yao Hanshuang" on the field with complicated eyes, and said:
"Yes, but he has deprived so many people of their lives and consciousness that his own consciousness has become blurred. All that remains is his obsession with becoming an immortal, and he relies on this obsession to act. Even though his wish can no longer be realized, he still clings to the younger generation of the Yao family."
"As a member of the Yao family, my cousin's biggest reliance is the immortals. However, the Monument King who is pestering him was once a disciple. Moreover, the Monument King is in charge of the hall. The immortals didn't listen to him at all when my brother was possessed."
Shi Chan folded his arms and said:
"No wonder. I've heard that your mother's spiritual power is stronger than your uncle's, but it turned out that your uncle was the one who inherited the Chuma Hall. I thought your family favored boys over girls, and your brother's position was actually a throne."
"...My mother left Yanbian when she was twelve and got married at nineteen in order to avoid becoming a disciple."
Gong Yongyuan laughed at himself and said,
"I have another uncle who jumped into the sea to avoid being a hero."
Shi Can sighed, "It's so tragic."
Wen Miyan pointed at "Yao Hanshuang" on the field and asked:
"What should we do? I think with the situation like this, even the people from the Spiritual Master's Mansion can't handle it."
Gong Yongyuan's eyes dimmed for a moment and he looked at Lin Zhuyue.
"You saw it just now. The amber fire has little effect on him."
Shi Can quickly stopped Lin Zhuyue behind him and said,
"Find a way to solve it yourself. Don't expect my partner to fight for your brother."
"Golden Amber Fire is indeed not very effective." Gong Yongyuan said, "But Golden Amber Fire is not the only partner you have."
Lin Zhuyue was stunned for a moment.
Shi Can's expression changed. He stared at Gong Yongyuan seriously and sharply and asked:
"You don't have amnesia?"
Gong Yongyuan ignored Shi Can and looked at Lin Zhuyue who was standing behind Shi Can and said:
"Lin Zhuyue, the hexagram says you're the one who can save him, so he came here from Yanbian. The school rules at the North Korea branch are very strict. As a first-year student in the advanced department, he won't be able to participate in this year's four-school league unless he transfers. It will probably take another four years before he'll have a chance to see you, but he can't last another four years."
"That Monument King is getting stronger and stronger. In four years, the Monument King will completely take over his body."
"Please, save him."
Gong Yongyuan looked at Lin Zhuyue with a pleading expression and said,
"As long as you save him, I will promise you anything. I can stand by your side, and so can the Gong family."
Lin Zhuyue frowned and said, "Sorry, I can't do it."
"you……"
"I understand your desire to save your brother." Lin Zhuyue shook her head at Gong Yongyuan, "But if I reveal my spiritual power now in front of so many people, everything will be over."
Shi Can asked, "Is there no way for him to regain his sanity on his own? How did you deal with him when he went crazy before?"
"Before, we..."
Just then, a hand pushed from behind.
Lin Zhuyue was pushed. He was in the audience one second and appeared on the field the next.
Tushan Yunlin, wearing a flowery jacket and with his hands in his pockets, stood leisurely at Lin Zhuyue's original position.
Shi Can said angrily: "Old fox, what are you doing?"
"Can't you see? That old ghost has set his eyes on the little girl's body."
Tushan Yunlin said lightly,
"If she doesn't go down, the old ghost will come up. Besides, that Yao Hanshuang will be suspended from the competition, and the Spiritual Master Mansion might be able to find foreign aid who can solve the problem. If the little girl of the Ling family misses this opportunity, there won't be a next time."
Shi Can knew that now was not the time to argue, so he ran downstairs.
But he had only taken two steps when Tushan Yunlin appeared in front of him and raised his leg to kick him.
Shi Can summoned the Absolute Blade and asked, "Old man, don't you want your legs anymore?"
On the court, Lin Zhuyue was still confused, but she was quickly adjusting herself to a fighting state.
The King of Monuments stared straight at Lin Zhuyue. As soon as he raised his hand, the immortals received the order and rushed towards her in an overwhelming manner.
Lin Zhuyue attempted to defend herself with a paper barrier, but it was shattered into pieces just as it formed. Amber Fire appeared to protect its master, igniting the immortals' fur. But the immortals seemed unfazed by the heat or the pain, charging at her, knocking her to the ground and tearing at her limbs with their sharp teeth.
They avoided Lin Zhuyue's neck, wondering if the King of Monuments wanted to live.
But the attack and bite did not last long, and the crowd of immortals were knocked away.
A burning bus flew high into the sky from the ground, then turned around and fell towards "Yao Hanshuang" on the ground.
Lin Zhuyue stood up, her body covered in blood.
After "Yao Hanshuang" avoided the bus, the bus that crashed straight into the stadium turned into golden petals and gathered towards Lin Zhuyue, and then condensed into an unfolding long scroll, surrounding Lin Zhuyue.
"...Ukiyo-e scroll?"
"Her spiritual weapon is not Golden Amber Fire at all!"
"She's deceiving everyone!"
Shi Can yelled at Tu Shan Yun Lin, "Are you happy now?"
He took out his cell phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and dialed Shi Yingshao's number. When the call was connected, he said:
"Dad, something happened. Lin Zhuyue's spiritual weapon was exposed. The plan to control the Spiritual Master Mansion has been advanced."
