The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

661-665

"Alright." Leng Yi shrugged.

Elder Xuwu turned back and continued, "Four in a circle and stand at the four corners of north, south, east and west. You should know that once the spirit is released, it will try to escape by any means. When the female spirit runs to one of you, that person will restrain her. Is that clear?"

"Yes!" The exorcists from the three kingdoms answered with much gusto. Even though the young man was pale, he still answered, albeit with a little uncertainty.

Elder Xu Wu was entirely confident that they would win this round. The young man was obviously a mess. Would he be too scared to even move when the female spirit is let out?

"Alright, now that all of you understand the rules, let's begin." Elder Xu Wu stretched his arm out and placed the talisman pouch in the middle of the circle.

Not long later, the puffed up talisman pouch started to toss and turn. Then, strands of black hair emerged, thick and dense. It was a terrifying sight.

Then came the eyes, the nose, and the mouth...

The ghoul crawled out speedily, as if she had finally found the exit she was looking for. If it was not for the crowd around them, the ministers would have long ran away!

The sight of her was too horrendous. The ghoul looked as if she had been run over by something. At first, she turned her head over and stared at a direction with empty eyes. Then, she rushed at it in full force.

Leng Yi mumbled lightly before making a hand sign, "Stay!"

The ghoul stopped in her tracks, as if she was blocked by something. Knowing that she could not escape in this direction, she grinded her teeth and shot off backwards instead!

The exorcist from Huangzi Nation did not expect that the Yin energy on her would be that heavy. He almost failed to keep her in check, but in the end, he restrained the female ghoul in place!

The ministers were shaking along the sidelines. If she managed to escape the circle, she would possess someone's body.

Once possessed, she could take over their will!

Spirits were different from people, especially those who died within less than half a year. They could sense people through their breathing.

This female ghoul was obviously intelligent. After two tries, she accurately pinpointed where the heaviest breathing was coming from, and where the the weakest defence was. She took two steps backwards, twisting her head first then her body. She stared at the young man's direction with thick black fog seeping out of her blank pupils...

"This is no good! She is transforming into a malevolent spirit!" Liu Yu stood up while watching from the sidelines.

Elder Xu Wu lowered his voice and said, "Hold your ground. She is just furious because she could not break through the barrier just now. She has yet to become a demon."

Liu Yu still looked worriedly at the young man.

Not only was the young man's forehead glistening with sweat, his back was also drenched. He chanted Leng Yi's spells he just heard, over and over again.

Despite that, the female ghoul did not seem affected in the least. She was only briefly wary in the beginning, but after she understood the situation fully, she rushed toward the young man and was about to sink her teeth into him...

... when a silhouette flew toward her.

By the time the audience realized what was happening, Helian Wei Wei had pulled the young man aside. With her cape pulled over her head, which covered her face, only her star-like eyes shone through, as she stood tall while facing the sinister ghoul.
