by a ghost, they didn’t feel right turning down Xiao Jingru when she asked them. So they stood up and walked over to the girl, occasionally checking her eyelids or taking her pulse; their brows furro...Chapter 182: Wuxing Water Ghost

The yin煞qi emanating from the large cave was like a black pipe connecting it to the Umbrella of Gathering Yin.

Old Ghost stared at what was happening in front of him, his mouth agape and eyes showing signs of shock. What on earth is going on

Xiao Yu did not expect that the Umbrella of Gathering Yin would be so powerful; however, upon thinking about it, it made sense. Even an ordinary construction site could form a Trilateral Accumulation of Yin Qi, let alone such a place with dense yin energy.

Suddenly, Earth Ghost floated out from under the Umbrella of Gathering Yin. In the air, he anxiously formed hand seals. The umbrella was then slowly closing and cutting off its connection to the yin qi emanating from the large cave.

"Earth Ghost, what's going on" Xiao Yu frowned at Earth Ghost, who looked worried, and asked.

“Young Master... Young Master..., I sensed Little Water’s presence! I was just in that yin energy!” The anxiety on Earth Ghost’s face showed a hint of excitement. He said this as he answered Xiao Yu.

"What A Water Ghost" Xiao Yu exclaimed.

“Yes! In the yin qi sucked into the Umbrella of Gathering Yin, I sensed Little Water's presence; it was very faint though, and only after absorbing that yin energy did I feel it!”

Earth Ghost calmed his excited state and told Xiao Yu with a serious expression.

"Oh... Can you sense where the Water Ghost is"

Xiao Yu thought for a while, slowly raised his head and asked Earth Ghost. He had a feeling that if it really was a Water Ghost, this large cave must have something to do with him.

Earth Ghost closed his eyes and frowned slightly as he carefully sensed the exact location of the Water Ghost.

Old Ghost saw Earth Ghost float out from under the Umbrella of Gathering Yin and felt shocked by the substantial source energy he was radiating. He hurriedly took a few steps back, standing at the mouth of the large cave.

"There...," suddenly, Earth Ghost opened his eyes, pointed excitedly at the large cave, and said.

“I just sensed Little Water’s faint source energy from this yin qi!” Earth Ghost pointed to the surging torrent of substantial yin煞qi coming out from the large cave and continued speaking.

Old Ghost saw that Earth Ghost was pointing at the large cave behind him with an excited face, his expression turning vicious. Once again, inch-long solid swords made of black mist appeared at the tips of his fingers as he warily watched Xiao Yu and Earth Ghost.

"Ow... Owowow..... Owow.... Owowow......"

The old ghost warily watched the two of them and仰天發出一陣急促而帶有特殊韻味的嚎叫。

A moment later, those two squads of soldiers floated in from the basement door. Seeing that besides Xiao Yu, there was also a ghost here, and not just any ghost but one that seemed powerful, as if they felt a faint sense of oppression from this ghost standing there.

The eyes of these ghost soldiers constricted. They warily watched the two of them, then they saw the old ghost at the cave entrance with an alert expression, so all of them floated over to him.

"Reporting, General! The first squad is here!" These ghost soldiers stood before the old ghost and said.

"Good! First squad, listen up! Assist this general in repelling the enemy, your souls will be consumed but you shall not retreat!" Looking at these brothers who have followed him for hundreds of years, the old ghost spoke with a tragic tone.

"First squad understands the order! Our souls will be consumed but we shall not retreat........ our souls will be consumed but we shall not retreat...." These ghost soldiers sounded mournful as they all shouted loudly in unison.

"Good, prepare to defend against the enemy!" The old ghost glanced at his brothers with a parting look in his eyes.

Although Xiao Yu had just fought him to a draw, but that other ghost beside them was someone he could not fathom! Not only was his essence solidified, there was also a faint aura about him.

If he knew that the earth spirit was now just an empty shell, who knows what he would think. Because the earth spirit's essence is connected to the Polyspore Parasol's essence, they saw the essence of the Polyspore Parasol instead.

Once the earth spirit has recovered from its injuries sustained during the great calamity, dealing with these ghosts would be effortless for them. But now, scaring people is still fine, but if it came to a fight, he had no way out except self-destructing his essence.

Xiao Yu didn't know why these ghosts were so determined in stopping anyone from entering the large cave, but his purpose of coming was to subdue them. His villa would soon be used, and naturally, he wouldn't allow these ghosts to exist within it; moreover, he would seal this big hole.

Since they誓死阻擋 (swore to defend with their lives), there was no choice but to subdue them. After all, the living world不屬於他們 (didn't belong to them), and their presence here會影響世人 (would affect ordinary people).

"Earth spirit, protect me!" Xiao Yu sat cross-legged and loudly commanded the earth spirit beside him.

Xiao Yu naturally knew that the earth spirit was just an empty shell now. He could still鬥個小鬼 (fend off a little ghost), but對付鬼將軍這樣的老鬼顯得力不從心 (dealing with an old ghost like General Ghost would be beyond his capabilities). However, no one knew the state of the earth spirit, so it could still scare them.

"Yes, Young Master!" The earth spirit responded and rapidly formed a complex hand sign.

"疾 (Quickly)..."

After finishing the hand signs, the earth spirit softly shouted. The Polyspore Parasol slowly opened up but did not absorb煞氣 again; instead, it floated above Xiao Yu's head and slowly enveloped him while the earth spirit flew over to sit cross-legged in front of Xiao Yu.

The Old Ghost and the ghost soldiers watched the two people's actions, which were very strange. However, seeing how serious the two of them were made them increasingly vigilant.

The Old Ghost stared at the two of them intently when suddenly he saw a figure resembling Xiao Yu floating above his head, although it seemed to exist in an intermediate state between illusion and reality.

"A yin soul"

With a look of astonishment, the Old Ghost looked at the figure hovering over Xiao Yu's head. After a moment of thought, he suddenly exclaimed with a drastic change in expression.

Hearing the Old Ghost’s exclamation, Xiao Yu glanced at him curiously; he hadn't expected that this Old Ghost would also immediately recognize his yin soul besides that demon.

As the Old Ghost stared at Xiao Yu's figure and saw him holding a brush in his right hand and a book in his left while carrying a sword on his waist, he was momentarily stunned. After a short while, an expression of shock appeared on his face.

He had just recognized that three items carried by Xiao Yu’s yin soul were magical artifacts. Unlike the old Taoist who took half a day to recognize them as such, when he saw these objects all brought out from Xiao Yu's body, he knew they were magical artifacts and relatively powerful ones at that.

Should it just be him and this ghost, they still had some confidence in fighting. But upon seeing the appearance of Xiao Yu’s yin soul, he felt hopeless, yet hopelessness did not mean he would surrender easily.

Xiao Yu looked at these ghosts blocking the cave entrance and said coolly, "You can step aside now!"

"Unless our souls disperse, you won’t be able to get through!"

"Commander is right. Unless we all perish, you won’t be getting past us," shouted the ghost soldiers in unison after hearing the Old Ghost's words.

The Old Ghost glanced at Xiao Yu and then looked at his brothers who had followed him for hundreds of years standing before him; he realized that they might not survive tonight. His master had repeatedly told him how powerful yin souls were, let alone with magical artifacts in their possession. According to his master’s teachings, there were several types of magical artifacts, the most formidable being those capable of housing a human body. Such magical artifacts could be considered spiritual artifacts since they possessed spirituality.

The Old Ghost turned around and knelt down toward the cave entrance, saying, "Master, your disciple is unworthy; I can no longer serve you."

After saying this, the Old Ghost stood up with a resolute expression. A fierce aura surged out of his body.

Xiao Yu and the earth ghost were taken aback when they saw the Old Ghost kneeling down to pay respects to his master at the cave entrance; they couldn't help but wonder what was going on Could it be... They exchanged glances.

"Brothers, you have already accompanied me in death once. Now, are you afraid of accompanying me as my soul disperses" The Old Ghost looked sternly at his ghost soldiers, and his voice rose from low to high.

"Fear not, fear not, there is no need to fear..."

Hearing Old Ghost's words, these ghost soldiers shouted loudly.

With their shouts, a fearless aura emerged from them. This aura gradually gathered around them, and the yin煞qi floating out of the large cave seemed to have intelligence as it divided into several streams, entering their bodies.

Seeing this scene, Earth Ghost, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly stood up and muttered, "It's Little Water. I can sense Little Water’s essence qi."

"Little Water... Little Water.... It's me, Little Earth! Quickly take back your essence qi!"

Suddenly, something occurred to Earth Ghost who anxiously shouted towards the large cave.

Afterwards, with a worried look, he turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Young Master, quickly stop them. Little Water is infusing her essence into them!"

Hearing what Earth Ghost had to say, Xiao Yu switched his judge’s pen from his right hand to the left one. He then unsheathed the Sword of Exorcism and demonic extermination, and initiated the righteous qi technique as a golden light flashed on the sword.

Right before Xiao Yu was about to take action with the Sword of Exorcism in hand, suddenly, the yin煞qi that had been infused into Old Ghost and the ghost soldiers paused for a moment before dispersing loudly. Those yin煞qi resumed their outward spray state.

"Earth Is it you" As the yin煞qi returned to its original form within the large cave, a weak voice faintly came from that direction.

“Little Water, it’s me! What happened to you Your essence qi is so feeble..." Hearing this extremely weak voice, Earth Ghost hurriedly shouted back.

"Alas, there's no easy way to explain... Jinfeng, bring him in!" The water ghost sighed and said.

“Yes, Master!” Old Ghost answered with a strange look at the two of them.

“Young Master, you should return first.”

Xiao Yu understood what Earth Ghost meant. One must be cautious; moreover, that old ghost knew about yin souls. If they entered and Xiao Yu’s physical body suffered any mishap, it would be too late to regret.

After Xiao Yu's yin soul instantly returned to his body, the one sitting cross-legged on the ground slowly opened his eyes.

Xiao Yu stood up from the ground. He closed the Umbrella of Yin and placed it behind him before heading towards the cave entrance with Earth Ghost. on Wang Family’s territory and given their powerful strength, some things had to be done according to what Wang Haiyang said. However, this was a time to establish his standing in this small circle,...
