Girls' dormitory building No. 17, downstairs.
The eight-immortal table, which had been set with incense burners and offerings, had been overturned on the ground. The half-burnt candles had also gone out and rolled on the ground. A red apple rolled away on the ground until it was stepped on by a slipper and stopped rolling.
In the darkness, as the female ghost, who was floating in the air with only half a body, screamed, the peach wood sword in Master Jia's hand snapped in two!
The pale-faced, ferocious female ghost opened her fanged mouth and lunged at the neck of Master Jia, who was lying on the ground struggling, preparing to bite him.
"Grandmaster, save me!"
Master Jia screamed in fright.
Just as the female ghost's black fangs were about to bite Master Jia's neck, a fist wreathed in golden light suddenly slammed in from the darkness, stopping the long-haired vengeful ghost.
The vengeful ghost turned its head and saw the golden fist flying towards it. Its pupils contracted instantly, as if it were terrified.
It tried to avoid the golden fist that terrified it, but it was too late; Zhang Yuan's fist grazed past the ghostly figure.
The fist struck the void, and a large hole was pierced through the ghost's phantom!
At the same time, the vengeful ghost let out a miserable scream in the night sky and quickly floated into the air. It looked at Zhang Yuan with fear and anger in its eyes. The phantom that Zhang Yuan had just hit quickly returned to its original state, but the phantom was much fainter than before.
He must have been injured.
The vengeful ghost looked angrily and warily at Zhang Yuan, who was wearing shorts and slippers. The latter was also tilting his head, examining the ghostly figure with half of its body floating in the air.
"Is this what a vengeful ghost is like?"
"It doesn't seem like there's anything scary about it, it's just that it's a bit ugly."
Zhang Yuan muttered to himself.
This was the first time in his life he had ever seen a ghost.
However, he was not afraid, because after cultivating to the Meridian Opening Realm, Zhang Yuan's body was full of yang energy, and he was not afraid of ghosts and monsters, which are yin spirits.
In his haste, he tentatively threw a punch at the female ghost with the Mighty Golden Light Spell, and found that the spell could hurt her, and that the vengeful ghost seemed to be very afraid of it.
This gave him more confidence.
The Yang Shen Cultivation Notes state that the Great Strength Golden Light Spell and the Spirit Severing Technique are very powerful against low-level spiritual beings, and it seems that this is indeed the case.
The vengeful ghost floated in the night sky, its venomous eyes fixed on Zhang Yuan, who appeared expressionless, harmless, and posed no threat. Then, it suddenly pounced on Zhang Yuan at a 45-degree angle.
Sharp, demonic claws tore through the air, and steel-nail-like fangs could shred human flesh.
Before the vengeful ghost could even arrive, Zhang Yuan shouted, "Great Strength Golden Light Spell!"
Then, Zhang Yuan was enveloped in a golden light, his body radiating a faint golden glow like that of a god.
Zhang Yuan simply threw a punch, which startled the female ghost in mid-air so much that she immediately turned around and fled.
Zhang Yuan tilted his head, watching the fleeing female ghost gradually disappear into the darkness of the night. After thinking for a while, he finally gave up the idea of chasing after her and killing her.
It's so late, he still needs to go back to his dorm to get his toiletries.
While still lying on the ground, Master Jia, who had narrowly escaped death, slowly opened his eyes and saw the back of a mysterious young man wearing slippers and shorts. He was surrounded by golden light like a god or Buddha, and with one punch, he scared away the fierce ghost.
Master Jia was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth!
After the vengeful ghost left, the young man in his underwear turned around and walked up to Master Jia, helping the injured Master Jia to his feet.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"It's good that you're alright!"
After saying that, Zhang Yuan slipped on his slippers and walked away as if nothing had happened, leaving Master Jia bewildered in the night wind.
His tall, slender figure turned a corner under the dim streetlights and disappeared into the night.
By the time Master Jia realized what was happening, the young man had already vanished.
"What powerful magic! I've met a master tonight!"
"Why does this expert look like a student?!"
Master Jia muttered to himself.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Master Jia shivered.
Because of the struggle with the vengeful ghost, the scene of the ritual was in complete disarray.
Recalling the danger of tonight, Master Jia was still terrified. Fortunately, he met a master. However, he regretted that he forgot to ask the master's name and contact information!
Although the vengeful ghost escaped, it did not die. Worried that the ghost might return, Master Jia shrank back, glanced around warily, and then quickly picked up the Bagua plate and the broken peach wood sword that had fallen to the ground before hastily leaving Tongcheng University.

The next morning, in the principal's office.
Even through the door, you could hear Principal Zhang's furious roar from inside the office.
"A liar, he's definitely a liar!"
"What kind of most powerful exorcist in Tongcheng? He's a complete fraud!"
Inside the office, the monitor screen in front of Principal Zhang showed the back of a man wearing shorts and slippers helping up the injured Taoist priest Jia.
Zhang Tangjin watched the surveillance video of the exorcism three times last night, carefully observing the entire process.
Its feelings went from anticipation to disappointment, and then to being deceived and angry.
Ruan Xiangyu stood silently to the side, feeling awkward.
She never expected that the so-called most powerful exorcist in Tongcheng City, whom she had gone to great lengths to invite, would be so useless, unable to even handle a female ghost.
However, since Master Jia was recommended by her, Ruan Xiangyu could only stand awkwardly but politely to the side, bearing the brunt of Principal Zhang's anger.
"Eight thousand yuan! And not a single splash!"
Now we can't contact Jia the swindler; his phone is switched off, so it's obvious we won't get the money back.
After calming down, Zhang Tangjin's gaze fell on the back of the young man wearing shorts and slippers in the middle of winter on the surveillance screen.
"Who is this guy? He scared the female ghost away with just one punch?"
"Secretary Ruan, do you know the whole group of young people who wear slippers?"
"Could it be a student from our school?"
"have no idea!"
Ruan Xiangyu shook her head.
During the surveillance playback, the video was somewhat blurry because it was nighttime, and since the young man had his back to the camera, Ruan Xiangyu didn't know who he was.
Zhang Tangjin rubbed his temples wearily.
The local police station does not handle cases of ghosts or other supernatural occurrences at schools.
The footage captured by the video surveillance, as well as the situation of the nighttime search of the girls' dormitory, all indicate that the school is indeed haunted. What's worse, he had a dream last night in which a long-haired female ghost came to take his life!
This nightmare woke Zhang Tangjin up in the middle of the night.
Principal Zhang was terrified that his dream would come true and that the female ghost would come looking for him to take revenge.
After all, it was his decision to hire a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost.
"Never mind."
"Secretary Ruan, go and inquire again to see if there are any other reliable exorcism masters who can handle this matter!"
"It would be best to find that young man from the video surveillance."
Zhang Tangjin said.
Ruan Xiangyu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Principal, I will do my best!"
