Chapter 40: Crimson Embroidery Shoes 7; Diannan Gu Master

Translated by Shiya of Exiled Rebels Scanlations 

Editor: Karai

 

When Kou Xuanling came out, he saw Du Shuo and Chen Yang sticking together lovingly. They were both  upright and unconscious about it as well. He was silent for a moment and took away the portrait of his Zushiye, “I’ll go next door.”

Chen Yang said, “Do you have a key?”

“Qiu Shengmin will open the door.” Kou Xuanling waved his hand and went out without looking back. He turned to the room beside theirs and knocked on the door of the Qiu siblings.

As long as his Zushiye was around, Kou Xuanling was not lonely. Chen Yang didn’t worry about him. He continued to report to Du Shuo what happened in the last  two days. Du Shuo listened quietly. Finally, Chen Yang said, “I, Kou Xuanling, and Qiu Shengmin all got red cards. I have to play the game of counting stairs tonight. It’s up to you to find the Ghost Controlling Pile. By the way, also the ghosts here like to pretend to be Hell soldiers.”

Du Shuo, “Just destroy the Ghost Controlling Pile directly and call the Regional Hell Overseer to capture all the ghosts. You don’t have to play those ghost games.”

Chen Yang shook his head, “I saw a lot of skeletons in the backyard that probably have been dead for many years. It’s easy to culture evil spirits when they are trapped in the Ghost Gate Array. It doesn’t matter if I don’t play, but if I don’t, I can’t guarantee the safety of other students.”

“They deserve it.” When Du Shuo mentioned other people’s lives, he was indifferent.

“Most of the masterminds who killed teacher Bai Yan have been killed. The rest of them are onlookers. If they are killed too then it’s going overboard,” Chen Yang didn’t agree with the killings of teacher Bai Yan. It’s wrong to be a by-stander coldly, but it’s not a crime deserving of death. “What’s more, if she kills more innocent people, teacher Bai Yan will have more guilt.”

The Yin laws and court tests people’s spirits. It counts their merits and demerits, then subtracts it with their sins. At the end, those guilty souls will be sent to Fengdu for trial. When one kills for injustice, after deducting their enmity, the rest will become their sins. After taking revenge, she will have to make atonement for the killings she has committed. Therefore, the more people teacher Bai Yan kills, the more serious her sins will be. If the Hell soldiers capture her and bring her to Fengdu, she will likely have to accept a lot of punishment at this rate.

Du Shuo only judged the merits, demerits and sins of the ghost. As long as it does not involve Fengdu’s order, he will not care about the rest. However, even though he did not care, the Regional Overseers and the Ghost emperors would still care. After all, not everyone was a natural born God like Du Shuo was. They would also consider the injustice in the human realm when passing judgment.

“Mn.” Du Shuo was close to Chen Yang’s neck, opened his mouth and took a bite. When the bite mark appeared, he released it and slowly licked and soothed him, “Whatever you want.”

Chen Yang immediately grinned, sat on Du Shuo and pushed him away, “Itch, don’t lick it.” Du Shuo not only ignored him, but also held his hand and continued to lick down his neck.

“Don’t lick it. I have to go out at night,” Chen Yang said.

Du Shuo raised his eyes, got up and bit Chen Yang’s two lips, “Then I will kiss Yang Yang.”

Chen Yang left the dormitory room in the evening and his legs were still soft. His cheeks were red and there were mists in his eyes. People who understand will know what has gone down at first glance. People who don’t, naturally think he had just woken up. For example, the Qiu siblings looked back and forth between Chen Yang and Du Shuo until Chen Yang introduced Du Shuo as his partner. When they went downstairs to the canteen for food, Kou Xuanling sighed after seeing the two as normal as ever, “I was busy offering to my Zushiye in the afternoon, and asked him to bless me with an extraordinary performance in the evening. I didn’t get a good rest like you. I’ll go back to sleep for two hours. Call me when it’s time.”

The Qiu siblings’ strange gaze shifted from Chen Yang and his partner to Kou Xuanling. They asked if he knew the relationship between Chen Yang and Du Shuo or not? Kou Xuanling nodded his head in affirmation, but he also mentioned Chen Yang’s footwork was flimsy and needed to be worked on quickly.

Chen Yang’s face was almost buried into the bowl, and his right hand was under the table, pinching Du Shuo’s soft skin. They didn’t do the whole thing, but it was still exciting. Du Shuo looked calm and normal. When he was pinched, he didn’t say a word. After his wife had released his anger, he coaxed him back. He can’t complain to Chen Yang, but he can to the mouthy Kou Xuanling. So Du Shuo said, “More nonsense, and I will burn the portrait of your Zushiye.”

Kou Xuanling immediately glared at him. He was hostile with anyone who dared touch his Zushiye. But as soon as he met Du Shuo’s indifferent eyes, he dared not say anything. He was sure Director Du could really do such a thing as burning the portrait of his Zushiye.

The Qiu siblings looked back and forth and decided to eat as quietly as a chicken.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling got ready to knock on the door of Qiu Shengmin’s dormitory room. The door opened, and Qiu Shengmin came out. Qiu Shengming followed behind, and his face was worried. He asked , “Can I go with you?”

Chen Yang shook his head. “You will be in the way.”

Qiu Shengming looks despondent. It was only in the evening that he learned that Qiu Shengmin also got a red card to participate in the death game. It’s even more frustrating to find that you have no ability to help.

Qiu Shengmin assured him that she would come back safely and told him, “Promise me to stay in the dormitory room and not go out. No matter what happens, don’t go out. I have a way to deal with those things. But if you meet one, it’s a dead end. I don’t want to survive with no injuries, but find you……”

Qiu Shengming said, “I know.”

Qiu Shengmin hugged him and said, “Believe me, I have a hunch that nothing will happen.” Her premonition has always been accurate, and Qiu Shengming knew that, but he was still worried. They are brother and sister. From childhood to adulthood, they are the only family members of each other.

Chen Yang and the three go to the stairway and wait for Qiu Shengmin. Qiu Shengmin patted her brother on the shoulder and ran towards them. Approaching the teaching building, Du Shuo slowed as he watched them enter the building. He turned away when Chen Yang and the others turned to the stairs. He looked back at the cracked mirror in front of him. In the mirror, Du Shuo’s face was pale green and staring at the outside. It slowly showed a strange smile which was extremely terrifying.

Du Shuo looked indifferent. He grabbed the frightening ghost in the mirror, pinched it into a small ball and threw it into a bag. Turning to go to the back of the mountain, he met a ghost who was pretending to be a Hell soldier on the way. He also squeezed it into a small ball and threw it into the bag. It was funny that these ignorant ghosts, when they saw Du Shuo himself, still pretended to interrogate him to take away his soul. It’s too late for them to escape when they were squeezed into small beads.

The rest of the ghosts were so frightened that they ran away and did not dare to get close to him. Du Shuo didn’t have time to catch them all. He wanted to smash the Ghost Controlling Pile and let the Regional Overseers do the rest.

Chen Yang met teacher Li, Cheng Dong and Ling Hao on the third floor. When they saw Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling, they were glad to have Tianshis at their side to protect their lives. When it is found that none of them were playing the same game as them, they immediately changed faces. Teacher Li stood in front of them, “Why don’t we exchange cards?”

“Can cards be exchanged?”

“Yes. All three of you are Tianshis,” Teacher Li thought Qiu Shengmin was a Tianshi too. “It’s your responsibility to protect us. 1 Now all three of you are in the same group, but we are in another game. Who will guarantee our safety? So it’s better to swap cards and at least make sure there’s one Tianshi in each game.”

Chen Yang said, “So that’s why you know how many people are involved in the game of death? If a game is easier to play, you would exchange cards with the other player. But it’s not going to be that easy. The ghosts are toying with you guys with these games. How can they tolerate you exchanging your cards? The card we got is from a dead student. If the rule of exchange is that one person must die -”

“How is that possible?” Teacher Li interrupted him, “We still need you to save us. What’s more, I would die if I were to exchange with you, right?”

Chen Yang, “What if it was the one that actively exchanged who will die? You are so afraid of death, as long as you are alive, it doesn’t matter to you if the others died, does it? If you change with a person from my group, you can join our group, and we will keep you safe. The one who was replaced will die, and the other team will die too because of a lack of a member. Am I right?”

Teacher Li’s expression has told everyone that Chen Yang’s guess was right. Before that, no one knew how many students he had cheated with this trick and killed. All so that he could survive. Ling Hao and Cheng Dong stepped backwards together and were on guard for Teacher Li.

When the three people went to the fifth floor to meet with others, Ling Hao and Cheng Dong couldn’t help telling everyone what they had learned. The others were all on guard against teacher Li. It’s also retribution, as this eventually killed Teacher Li.

At this point, Chen Yang asked them about their game and who was involved. “There are 15 people,” said Ling Hao. “Playing the Ghost Entering game. The vice principal and the three directors are there too.” Ling Hao mentioned the vice principal and the three directors to remind Chen Yang, wanting to put pressure on them to protect them since they were the employer.

But when Chen Yang and company heard the other names, they knew that teacher Bai Yan’s revenge was coming, making some of them want to go there even less. Chen Yang nodded to show that he knew, and then said to them, “Time is running out, you are not going up there yet?”

Three people had no choice but to go upstairs angrily. Then came two more people, head teacher Jin and teacher Liu. When the two met Chen Yang, the three were also quite surprised. Head teacher Jin said, “We want to meet teacher Bai Yan and ask her to stop, so we picked up the dead student’s cards.”

Chen Yang sighed, “I’m afraid you can’t see teacher Bai Yan even if you pick up the cards. Instead, you will die in vain.”

Head teacher Jin and teacher Liu didn’t understand, so Qiu Shengmin was kind enough to answer their doubts. “Jinshui secondary school has a lot of ferocious ghosts. Most of those who participated in death games and killed students are those who are vicious. Teacher Bai Yan seldom does it in person. If it wasn’t for us being in the same group with you tonight, you two would be killed directly. However, judging from the members in the other group of death game just now, teacher Bai Yan will appear tonight.”

Head teacher Jin and teacher Liu were confused and asked, “So do we start now?”

Chen Yang looked at the time, “it’s time to start. Do you know how to play the counting stairs game?”

“In the past, when I was studying in College, students loved to pass on these strange tales including the stairs that were countless in the teaching building. If one counts the stairs there, they will be caught by the things under the stairs and buried in the stairs,” Teacher Liu said.

“Almost.” Chen Yang said. “The horror story of counting the stairs comes from the corpses under the stairs. If you count while stepping on the stairs alone in the middle of the night, you will probably wake up the corpses under the stairs and be dragged into the stairs and buried alive,” said Chen Yang.

Head teacher Jin, teacher Liu and Qiu Shengmin were all shivering. Head teacher Jin said with a cracking voice, “Chen Tianshi really knows how to joke.”

Chen Yang, “I’m not joking, seriously.”

“……” All three showed a look of fear.

Chen Yang handed them the talisman, “When you meet that thing, stick it on them, shout for help and run away quickly.”

“Chen Tianshi, won’t you protect us?”

“Only one person can count one flight of stairs.”

Therefore, teacher Liu and head teacher Jin can only go to the fifth floor and the fourth floor respectively, and they begin to count at 12 o’clock. As for Chen Yang, the three of them were waiting directly on the third floor. Qiu Shengmin wondered, “We aren’t going to go separate ways?”

“No. We will wait for that thing to show up and grab it. Things in the school are more likely to attack head teacher Jin and teacher Liu than us.”

Qiu Shengmin was surprised, “Don’t you worry about the things in the backhill space? And don’t you worry about other ferocious ghosts surrounding us because we violate the rules of the game?” No wonder she asked, because Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling seemed to show that they had to play the games to survive, which made her think they really had to.

“Of course not. The reason why we didn’t pass the game before is because of the uncertainty and we couldn’t act rashly. And there was no way to break the Ghost Controlling Pile back then. It’s not the same now. Director Du is here so you don’t have to worry about anything else. Just lure those things out, grab them, and beat them.”

Chen Yang chuckled, “my brother Du is very good.”

He was somehow showing off. Qiu Shengmin looked at the implicit ‘my husband is so powerful, my husband is mine!’ performance of Chen Yang felt the pounding her own heart. She stood with Kou Xuanling, fortunately, she’s not the only single dog here.

The teaching building was empty and there was a dim yellow light in the corridor. In the stairwell you couldn’t see your fingers. Holding a flashlight, teacher Liu took a step down. The sound of his shoes against the stairs was very loud and reverberating in the empty corridor. It was like entering a different space and he was the only one in the dark.

As she walked and counted, she did not dare to look down. She was afraid that what she was stepping on was not stairs, but rotten corpses. To reach the next floor, there were two flights of stairs, a total of 24 steps. At the 12th step, teacher Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a sudden noise. Teacher Liu was so scared that her heart constricted, she ran down the stairs quickly without looking back.

She was relieved to see headteacher Jin on the fourth floor. Headteacher Jin nodded to teacher Liu, he took a big breath and summoned up the courage to go down his stairs as well. He felt the same fear as before, but when he thought that there were people upstairs and downstairs, he just didn’t feel as afraid. When he reached the 11th step, he looked back and found that there was no more teacher Liu in the darkness.

Headteacher Jin was in a panic, he stepped down the stairs and called out, “12.” Suddenly, he noticed that the feeling of his feet was odd. He swallowed saliva and looked straight ahead, trying to move his foot. Suddenly, he felt his ankle caught by a cold and slippery hand.

Headteacher Jin lowered his head and flashlights to the position. He was walking on a corpse that grabbed his ankle and was dragging him down. Headteacher Jin couldn’t break free, his ankle fell into the steps, and his whole person was dragged in. He began to struggle and shout for help, but his voice did not echo in the corridor, it was as if he was imprisoned in a different space.

In a panic, he found the talisman in his hand and pasted it on the corpse with his eyes closed. As soon as the strength of grasping was loosened, head teacher Jin started to run, shouting for help. This time, Chen Yang ran up and saw the corpse on the steps, “A walking corpse? Kou Xuanling, lend me your peach wood sword.”

Kou Xuanling threw it up. Chen Yang caught the peach wood sword without looking back and stabbed the walking corpse on the steps who was trying to escape. After the corpse screamed, it melted into a pool of black water. Kou Xuanling ran up to take the peach wood sword thrown back by Chen Yang and wiped the dirty marks on it.

Suddenly, they heard a very confused scream from the fifth floor and they ran up to check. Qiu Shengmin took care of head teacher Jin and teacher Liu and hid together in a classroom. They knew that they would only cause trouble if they went up. Fortunately, they had two talismans in hand, which can be pasted on the doors to block the evil spirits.

When Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling arrived there was no one standing at the classroom door, only blood on the ground. The two glanced at each other and knocked three times. The door opened slowly. Seeing that the two Tianshis were here, Ling Hao immediately pulled them in, “Masters, help us quickly.”

Chen Yang saw that there were six people left in the room. Ling Hao and the rest were playing the game of Ghost Entering. There were 15 people in total at the beginning. In less than half an hour, nine people had died. It was very fast.

“Master Chen, I have money in my family. As long as you save my life, I’ll give you as much as you want.”

“Tianshis, I have money too. As long as you save my life, don’t say 20 million yuan, even 40 million yuan, I will give you!”

“Chen Tianshi, Kou Tianshi…”

Six people rushed forward to ask for their help. Chen Yang reminded them, “Hurry up, keep playing.” After a pause, he added, “If you guys have more than a dozen people left alive, I would have probably helped.”

They didn’t know what Chen Yang meant. They were about to ask, but the two didn’t want to talk to them. Instead, they showed disgust. After some thought, Ling Hao realized his reasons. The rest of them were not stupid either, and they quickly understood. Only Cheng Dong was stupid enough to still ask them for help, causing the rest of the people to hate him. So they all picked up Cheng Dong and pushed him out of the door.

Fifteen people played the game of Ghost Entering. The rule of the game is that all fifteen people need to enter the room, then choose one of them to leave the room. Only one person can stand at the door each time. They have to stand outside for ten seconds and then knock on the door three times. Open the door and wait for the next one to go out, the whole time they need to be quiet, they cannot communicate. When you open a door, if you find that the person has something attached behind him,  you shouldn’t panic or close the door. You just need to blow away the dirty things so they cannot enter.

However, nine people have died now. They must have closed the door due to selfishness and fear whenever they saw something attached, causing the death of the person as they would be killed by the thing when they were locked out.

It is precisely because Chen Yang knew this that he did not want to help. Ling Hao and others also figured this out, so they wanted to keep themselves alive by pushing others out. At that moment, Cheng Dong was being pushed out of the door and yelled angrily. But he still needed to play the game, so after standing for ten seconds, he knocked on the door three times. When the door opened, he saw the people inside looking behind him in horror. He knew that there must be something attached to him.

Cheng Dong’s face is pale, his pupils are frightened and enlarged, his forehead exuded cold sweat. His whole body trembled and he was covered in coldness and Yin aura. He remembered that the last person who exited the door was teacher Li. He had hid inside and saw teacher Bai Yan attached to him. Teacher Bai Yan was in a red dress and red high-heeled shoes. She had no pupils, her neck was hanging down, and her mouth was twisted and deformed, her tongue was long and hanging out.

They shut the door because of fear, and they shut teacher Li out with teacher Bai Yan. They heard teacher Li knocking on the door for help, and then they heard the sound of a beast gnawing. The screams of Teacher Li slowly faded until it all became silent.

Cheng Dong wanted to rush inside, hoping they wouldn’t close the door. But the door was still mercilessly closed in front of him. Cheng Dong banged on the door, crying and cursing for help. The people inside were silent and the door gradually turned still.

Cheng Dong looked back and saw the directors, teachers and classmates who died in the game just now. They had died miserably, they surrounded him, seized his hands and feet, and began to gnaw at his flesh.

There were five people inside besides Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling. At this time, Kou Xuanling opened the door, grabbed Cheng Dong and threw him inside the classroom. Chen Yang used the red string on his wrist to whip the fierce ghosts and caught them. As soon as Kou Xuanling took out his peach wood sword, he heard the classroom door slamming shut behind him, he shook his head and scolded coldly, “There is no cure for them!”

Chen Yang put the captured ghosts into the dice and looked at the shut classroom door, “If they can be cured, why would the evil spirits be attracted to them?”

In the game of Ghost Entering, the thing that was attached to the person is his debt. Therefore, the ghosts were here to take revenge. The nine people who died deserved death.

“When I was grabbing Cheng Dong into the classroom, I saw a red figure following him in the corner of my eyes.”

“You saw wrong. I didn’t see it.”

After a short pause, Kou Xuanling said, “Yes, I must have seen it wrong.”

After cleaning up all the evil spirits outside the classroom, Kou Xuanling kicked the classroom door open, and a strong smell of blood came in an instant. The two men walked in and turned on the lights. What they saw was the tragic death of six people. The ground was full of blood. Behind them was teacher Bai Yan, who had become a fierce ghost.

Teacher Bai Yan, “Tianshis?” Her voice became low and ugly. It must be due to her hanging herself and destroying her throat that caused the voice of the dead to change.

“Bai Yan, is your revenge over yet?”

Teacher Bai Yan was silent.

“It should be over. The culprits who killed you and forced you to your death are all dead. They are all killed by you. It should end here.”

“No. No!!! How can it end? It’s not over yet! Have you seen what this school looks like? Humans have human morals, ghosts have ghost morals as well. They… don’t even have the most basic human morals. They are all animals! Full of selfishness, how many people have been killed by them? They don’t deserve sympathy at all. The victims turned around and became the perpetrator in a matter of seconds. No matter how good you treat them, they will still be ruthless to you when it comes to their self-interest. They have no hesitation, fear, repentance and guilt when harming and killing people. Do they deserve to live? They just deserve to die in fear and despair.” Teacher Bai Yan went from calm to madness, and finally came back to calm again, “you are Tianshi. You have done no harm. I can let you go, as long as you don’t care about Jinshui secondary school and leave.”

Kou Xuanling said, “I’m afraid you would order ghosts to attack us as soon as we turn around though.”

Chen Yang said, “You know that there is human nature and ghost nature. So you should also know that the two realms have their own laws. If they killed you, even if the human realm can’t punish them, the great Underworld will record their sins. Just as when you kill, the human realm cannot stop you, but the underworld will record your sins. We don’t care about the people you killed before. They deserved that. But if you want to kill more innocent people now, we can’t ignore it!”

Teacher Bai Yan was stimulated to rage. The Ghost Gate Array weakened the mana of Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling, and her power soared. The classroom doors and windows were closed and the lights were flashing. Teacher Bai Yan was suspended in the air, with her long hair flying, showing the horrors of her death. The six bodies, who died in front of her, slowly climbed up and attacked Kou Xuanling and Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took hold of one end of the red string in each hand, entangled the hands of the corpse who had come forward, obstructed their movements and then removed their joints. The corpse’s hands and feet joints were removed, struggling to crawl on the ground, looking up to bite Chen Yang. Chen Yang raised his feet and stepped their heads down. The corpses moved back a few steps. Even though the corpses tried their best, they were only able to move a little.

Kou Xuanling also removed the corpses’ joints and took their mobility away. Then the two men attacked teacher Bai Yan one by one, and the red dress of teacher Bai Yan fluttered. With one hand, she grasped Chen Yang’s red string, and the other held Kou Xuanling’s peach wood sword. She didn’t care about the damage caused to herself by the two Taoist instruments. With a strong pull, they were both pulled into the front of her eyes and she squeezed their necks.

Chen Yang had difficulty breathing and saw a rope falling slowly over his and Kou Xuanling’s heads. It’s a rope belonging to a Hanging Ghost. It’s hard to take it off once it is on you. Chen Yang looked down, holding one end of the red string in his hand and touching the bronze coin with his fingertips. He shot the bronze coin out and it landed in front of teacher Bai Yan.

Teacher Bai Yan was startled and gave Chen Yang the chance to stick the ancient copper coin directly in the middle of her forehead. In an instant, Yang aura gathered and held her soul. Kou Xuanling took the opportunity to kick away teacher Bai Yan. He grabbed his peach wood sword and stabbed her in the chest. Chen Yang, on the other hand, was making a hand seal, the copper coin was held between his thumbs. Just like how the Fengdu Emperor could frighten ghosts and gods, teacher Bai Yan was frightened by him. Step by step, Chen Yang went forward and closed the distance between teacher Bai Yan and him. Kou Xuanling was behind teacher Bai Yan and blocked her escape. Chen Yang put the bronze coins on teacher Bai Yan’s forehead. In an instant, Yang aura appeared with golden lights, trapping her white face and eroding her ghost and Yin aura.

Du Shuo walked smoothly through the open space to the back mountain space and entered the Bungalow where Bai Yan committed suicide. After a short tour, his eyes were fixed on the beam of the house. After walking two steps forward, he paused and looked back at Bai Pang who was standing at the door.

Bai Pang, who seemed to be weak and harmless, had killed many people by using his weak appearance to his advantage. His intuition told him that this man was not easy to deal with. He dared not to act rashly, so he warned, “Mind your own business, or you won’t even know what had killed you.”

Diannan Gu Master?” 2 Du Shuo calmly stated the origin of Bai Pang, ignoring his instantly changing expression. He quickly obtained a half-a-man tall white marble pile from the beam. Holding it in the palm of his hand, he walked out of the bungalow and smashed it under Bai Pang’s gaze.

Once the white marble pile was smashed with the back hill space being the center, a ghostly aura burst out in an instant, like a huge tide going straight into the sky. Every Tianshi with acceptable levels of training were made aware of the immense Ghostly auras here. Many were on the way and some were reporting it back to the Taoist Association.

Bai Pang panicked, “Who are you?” How could he smash the Ghost Controlling Pile with his bare hand? It should be noted that the Ghost Controlling Pile could trap the ghosts.  It was stained with a lot of Yin and ghostly auras. It was also full of ghostly resentment and was extremely vicious. Even Tianshis need to handle it carefully to avoid the curse from recoiling. “Are you a Shangqing Tianshi?”

Du Shuo, “That’s not important. You shouldn’t have set up the Ghost Gate Array and issued a job request to deceive Tianshis.”

Looking at Du Shuo approaching step by step, Bai Pang retreated, “Ordinary people can’t deal with the ferocious ghosts when they come in. So I can only get Tianshis to come and find out the truth. They must publish the truth and prove my sister’s innocence.”

While they were talking, a rustling sound came from the ground. After a while, the soil turned and a group of poisonous insects crawled to the surface one after another. They all died soon after crawling out. Bai Pang was shocked and stared at Du Shuo as if he was looking at a monster. He ordered all the Gu insects he raised in the corpse to attack Du Shuo, and then ran away without looking back.

Du Shuo didn’t chase him. He stayed where he was. Those Gu insects all died the second they were within a two meter diameter of him. In this way, Bai Pang will be killed by the Gu insects recoiling curse without Du Shuo needing to catch up to him.

After the white marble pile was smashed, the mana of Chen Yang’s hand seals and ancient copper coin was revived. Kou Xuanling’s peach wood sword and talismans also regained their original strength so they were able to quickly suppress teacher Bai Yan. She was put into a dice. In the end, the two strolled along the teaching building’s corridors, catching all the fleeing ghosts into the dice.

Fortunately, the Hell Regional Overseer was also aware of the heavy Ghostly aura in the sky. He sent Hell servitors to clean up the ghosts. At the same time, the Tianshis who were nearby, also came to capture the ghosts who had fled into the mountains or cities.

Meanwhile, the wandering ghosts in the mountains finally met real Hell Soldiers and Tianshis. The ghosts were like monkeys who had claimed themselves king of the forest, as they had never seen a tiger in their lives. At this time, they could only think and regret their previous stupidity and ignorance. They scurried away in fear, but were quickly arrested.
