Chapter 1 Feng Ruoxing's Actions

Feng Ruoxing’s actions weren't due to the mysterious origins of his opponent, but because they were so ordinary.

The "Zhuan Lian Sha" (Turning Face Demon), also called "Zhuan Shen Sha" (Turning Body Demon), is a relatively common type of ghost, described in many stories, especially in Japanese ghost novels, which almost always include a similar type of monster.

The Zhuan Lian Sha always appears on quiet roads, leaving behind a beautiful and lonely figure. It's like a lonely girl waiting for someone to help her.

When passersby see her figure, whether out of kindness or evil intentions, as long as they go over and talk to her, she will turn around.

No one knows what will happen when the Zhuan Lian Sha turns around.

Some say that they turn their heads to the back while their bodies remain still, showing people a pale face.

Others say that after she turns around, you will see a pair of blood-red eyes.

Still others say that the Zhuan Lian Sha reveals fangs and bites into a person's throat the moment she turns her head.

No ordinary person who has seen them turn around has ever survived. The only way to break the Zhuan Lian Sha is to call out her name and startle her into retreating.

For ordinary people, that beautiful figure may be a deadly poison.

Ye Yang said calmly, "I have no interest in your face. What I am interested in is what you are trying to do with the four array eyes you have set up in the four corners of Wan City."

The black-clad woman's body visibly trembled slightly: "Since you don't want to see my face, and you don't want to know who I am, why did you come here to find me?"

"I want a trace of your aura!" A cold smile crept onto Ye Yang's lips: "To use your words, I have countless ways to kill you. How do you want to die? I also have countless ways to break your scheme. How do you want to see it?"

"Arrogant!" the black-clad woman said angrily. "What waves can you make in my world?"

Ye Yang sneered, "Have you heard of the Shadowless Sword?"

As soon as Ye Yang's voice fell, the black-clad woman suddenly tossed her head, and her long hair swept across the surroundings like a black whirlwind. The tips of her hair even made a metallic clanging sound as they collided with the air.

A small sword, only the length of chopsticks and the thickness of a finger, was sent flying by the woman's hair and, after being struck into the air, turned its blade and shot straight towards Ye Yang.

The small sword suddenly disappeared halfway, as if it had never appeared in anyone's sight.

Ye Yang slightly raised his hand, his right-hand fingers coming together in the air and directly grabbing into the void. When he retracted his fingers, a small sword had appeared between them.

"Jian Xian (Sword Immortal) Shadowless Sword? Ridiculous!" the black-clad woman sneered. "Your cultivation is not enough. You just achieved formless attacks and think you can kill me? How naive!"

The Shadowless Sword is known as the supreme art of the Jian Xian: formless attack, shadowless sword, soundless control, and lifeless blade.

A true Shadowless Sword kills amidst laughter and conversation. The opponent will not know when the attacker acted or what method they used to kill them until they fall to the ground.

Ye Yang's Shadowless Sword was far from reaching this level, but it was still shocking enough. At least Feng Ruoxing beside him didn't see when he launched the Shadowless Sword.

Ye Yang smiled as he held the small sword: "I already said, I don't want to kill you. I want your aura."

"Little Lunatic, take out your phone and put it on the table over there! I think she can see it."

Ye Yang calling Feng Ruoxing "Little Lunatic" wasn't a term of endearment. Rather, a sorcerer, especially in front of ghosts and monsters, shouldn't call out the other person's real name. Some ghosts are best at using real names to hook souls.

Once a ghost calls out your name, it can cause you to lose your mind in an instant. That brief moment of pause is enough for many people to die.

Ye Yang and I can call each other's names because we have both practiced secret arts to fortify our souls, and we both have artifacts from the underworld wrapped around our hands. Ordinary ghosts can't easily take our souls away.

If we encounter a ghost or god that can forcibly separate our souls, calling or not calling our names wouldn't matter to us.

Ye Yang didn't know if Feng Ruoxing had such abilities, so he called out that name on the spur of the moment.

Although Feng Ruoxing didn't know what Ye Yang wanted to do, he still took out his phone and placed it on the table. The phone was displaying the scene inside the newspaper office's archives.

Ye Yang sneered: "Don't you want to see what kind of setup I've arranged?"

Although the black-clad woman didn't turn around, she seemed to be able to see the situation on the phone: "What's the point of showing me this?"

Ye Yang slowly said, "When Li Po rushed to meet the wedding procession, he made a guess: someone was making him follow their pre-arranged plot to find someone and bring out the person you needed."

"I checked the map of Wan City and found that it is a place of four extremes. The four mountains near Wan City are like four pillars, perfectly surrounding Wan City in a square."

"Each mountain peak is suitable for setting up an array. I think the terrain there is probably different, right?"

Seeing that the other party didn't react much, Ye Yang simply changed the subject: "Let's not discuss these for now. What I want to tell you is that if you have been to those four places, anyone or anything hiding there will surely die, because I can kill people through your aura."
