I was momentarily stunned upon seeing these three words.
The Taishan God, the patriarch of our lineage.
What was this black token?
"Young Master Qin, this token is so strange!"
"Indeed, I can feel a special kind of energy."
"..."
The twelve demon souls also spoke up, sensing the unusual nature of the token.
The female ghost continued, looking at us:
"I remember that Daoist priest sealing me and this token within the stone coffin.
He later built a City God temple on top of me.
Only when the temple was razed and the coffin broken did I emerge!
I also recall his last words, saying he hoped that when I saw the light of day again, I would shed this malevolent energy.
Alas, I still cannot control myself.
Once my emotions run wild, I kill..."
The female ghost spoke with a touch of melancholy.
After all, her vengeance had been served.
She had killed all those she sought to.
Her true nature likely did not wish for bloodshed.
Otherwise, she would not have let me leave earlier.
Having heard her story, I began to understand the female ghost.
I then addressed her:
"If you trust me, come with me. I promise to send you for reincarnation, hoping you can soon break free from a life of sin and be reborn."
However, the female ghost did not answer directly.
Instead, she looked out the window and said with great sorrow:
"My life was filled with sin, and I caused the deaths of many innocent people.
In this life, my heart is filled only with resentment and sorrow.
Daoist priest, if you can truly send me to reincarnation, I am willing.
Even if I cannot be human in the next life and become a small bird, I would still be happy."
The female ghost spoke forlamentedly.
Although I had not experienced her plight, hearing her story was enough to know the misery of her life.
I said little more. If the other party was willing to repent,
I did not mind helping within my capabilities.
Therefore, I nodded and said:
"Agreed!
Your malevolent energy is too strong. I must first take you back and seal it.
Then, I will perform a ceremony to guide your path.
Only then can I guide you towards reincarnation.
Otherwise, if your mind becomes chaotic,
we will be unable to send you away."
Ordinary specters could be sent to the afterlife with a guidance charm and a petition.
However, a vengeful spirit of this caliber, without a grand ritual to resolve her resentment and malevolent energy, could not be easily dispatched, and might even cause unforeseen events.
The female ghost nodded upon hearing this:
"Alright! What should I do?"
"That's simple, wait a moment."
Saying this, I picked up a water bottle from the room.
I wrapped my reflective vest around the bottle and said,
"You can just come in yourself. Once we return, I will perform a rite for your transcendence."
I spoke truthfully.
But as soon as I finished speaking, I felt the room grow cold.
The atmosphere felt distinctly wrong.
Looking up again at the red-clothed female ghost, I found her expression had darkened.
Her demeanor was completely different from the sorrowful one moments before.
Now, filled with hatred and ferocity, a much stronger malevolent aura emanated from her.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Si She warned.
The other demon souls moved forward, forming a shield on my left and right.
Seeing her state, I felt a sense of unease.
I quickly spoke:
"Madam, please calm down, do not let resentment cloud your mind. Maintain your own thoughts."
Although the female ghost had not made any further moves, her behavior indicated that something was amiss.
Just as she had said herself, she was beginning to lose control.
However, the moment I finished speaking, the face of the red-clothed female ghost suddenly contorted into a peculiar expression.
One side showed anger and hatred, while the other showed terror and fear.
She shook her head, repeatedly saying to me:
"Go, I, I'm losing, losing control, losing control!"
The female ghost spoke with great difficulty, struggling.
Since we were already here, there was no turning back.
I said:
"Madam, calm down, suppress the malevolent energy within you, calm down!"
But the moment I finished speaking,
the female ghost shuddered, her contorted expression turning into a hideous grimace, and her body stopped trembling.
She glared at me fiercely and said:
"Calm down? My life was tragic, how can I calm down?
You dead Daoist, you want to trap me in that tiny bottle?
I was imprisoned for a hundred years, and now that I've finally emerged, I won't go into that bottle."
As she spoke, a potent Yin malevolent energy radiated from her entire body.
Her face grew increasingly monstrous, clearly on the verge of losing her sanity.
"If you cannot regain your senses, then do not blame this humble Daoist for taking action!"
I knew that in this situation, further words were useless; I had to act.
The red-clothed vengeful spirit did not reply.
After hearing me, she let out a low growl:
"Die!"
With that, she let out a roar and lunged at us.
"Attack!"
I also gave the order.
I hadn't expected that at the last moment, the female ghost still couldn't control herself.
Her attitude and emotions changed so rapidly, as if she were two different people.
But that's how vengeful spirits are. If they could truly control their emotions, they wouldn't be vengeful spirits.
The twelve demon souls, upon receiving my command, did not hesitate.
They all surged towards the red-clothed vengeful spirit.
With a resounding "bang,"
Chen Long's fist collided with the female ghost's claw.
The red-clothed female ghost was very powerful, at the early stage of Dao body realm.
Although she was naturally formed, in theory, her strength should have been greater than those cultivated by the Netherworld Cult in the Li Family Village ghost dens.
However, she had been sealed for a hundred years, and much of her malevolent energy had been worn away.
Therefore, her strength had declined.
Facing Chen Long now, she was still at a disadvantage.
After one exchange, she was clearly on the losing side.
The eleven demon souls flanking her swarmed forward.
I didn't need to intervene, just retreated to give them space.
The twelve demon souls were all powerful.
Now, with twelve against one, even the formidable red-clothed vengeful spirit found it difficult to resist.
The "humming" of Yin malevolent energy continuously exploded within the room.
The young Daoist downstairs could only see billowing black smoke...
As for the workers, apart from occasionally hearing muffled thuds, they saw nothing.
This time, I did not intervene directly.
First, it was unnecessary.
Second, the space was limited, and my presence would hinder the twelve demon souls.
The red-clothed vengeful spirit was fierce, but she was no match for so many opponents.
After being overwhelmed for more than ten minutes, she finally could not hold on.
She was sent flying by Chen Long's palm.
Then, she was pinned to the ground by Shen Monkey and You Rooster, unable to move.
Seeing this, I finally approached.
I saw that the female ghost's face was still contorted, and she glared at me fiercely.
She continued to growl lowly:
"You dead Daoist, don't think you can suppress me again. I will kill all of you men, kill all of you despicable people. Revenge, I want revenge..."
Her voice was low and deep.
Seeing this, I wasted no more words.
I bit my finger and drew a Ghost Suppressing Talisman on her forehead.
Temporarily sealing her...
