Chapter 452 Ghost Catcher 13
Lin Chao's life became even more difficult. The loan sharks were demanding him at a rate that bordered on brutality. His reputation was completely ruined, and he could barely get any decent commissions.
Those "fellow Daoists" who once fawned over him now avoided him as much as possible. The huge gap made him almost lose his balance, especially when he heard that Yun Chu had actually been able to enter the Tang family, a top-tier wealthy family. His jealousy and resentment reached a peak.
"It's all her fault! That bitch is the one who cut off my path!" Lin Chao smashed the last teacup in the small apartment.
He touched the copper coin magic weapon in his arms - this was a life-saving item left by his master. It could temporarily stimulate the potential of the Yin-Yang Eyes and even give him a glimpse of a dangerous future, but the price was huge.
He could not sense the "great evil" in Yun Chu, but was instead stung by the other party's cold and hard aura.
In desperation, he turned his gaze to the area he had never dared to touch - the Jedi called "Nine Nether Pit" in the mass graves in the west of the city!
The Nine Nether Pit is a very dangerous place that only appears in the middle part of the book and has swallowed up countless mages.
Lin Chao only learned of the existence of the secret map after being entrusted to him by a seriously injured and dying "old senior" on his deathbed. He survived a near-death experience and finally obtained a key token and a powerful vengeful spirit ally - a sealed half-body female ghost in red (Qiu Niang). Qiu Niang is one of the "keys" to the evil spirit that will haunt Tang Wan in the future!
At this moment, Lin Chao, who was in a desperate situation and had strong hatred in his heart, actually relied on the vague perception of Yin Qi by the Yin-Yang Eyes and the desire for the "future treasure" (he had been forced to use the copper coin magic tool several times.
Having caught a glimpse of something in the Nine Nether Pit that could help him turn things around), he took the risk and, without any guidance, relied on his intuition to reach the Nine Nether Pit!
There are numerous graves in the mass graveyard to the west of the city, and the gloomy air at night is as thick as ink.
Lin Chao suppressed his fear and unleashed the power of the copper coin magic weapon to rush into the hinterland.
The intense yin energy nearly froze him, and the light of his magical weapon flickered. Deep within a collapsed tomb, he found a place emitting faint, strange vibrations and unearthed a strange, cracked box that appeared to be carved from human bones. This was the seal of Qiu Niang, the half-bodied female ghost in red, as indicated by the map in the book!
However, just as his hands were about to touch the bone box with trembling hands——
"Lie——!" A ghostly howl so shrill and sharp that it didn't sound like a human voice tore through the night sky!
A thick, almost tangible, foul black gas, carrying a sickening stench of decay, gushed out from a crack in the deepest part of the Jiuyou Pit!
That was not Qiu Niang sealed in the bone box, but another more terrifying evil creature full of primitive and tyrannical aura!
It was obvious that Lin Chao's unsystematic destruction and powerful emotional fluctuations (especially the soaring hatred) awakened the existence that was sleeping deeper!
This was a completely unexpected event outside the plot! It was a huge variable caused by Lin Chao's forced change of the plot line!
The filthy black air was like a living tentacle, ignoring the bone box and rushing straight towards Lin Chao's face!
The biting resentment and desire to devour life hit you in the face!
Lin Chao's soul was trembling, the copper coin magic weapon in his hand was burning wildly, and his eyes were bleeding. At the critical moment, he only relied on his Yin-Yang eyes to catch a trace of the weak gap of black air. He grabbed the bone box in a panic and rushed out with all his strength!
puff!
His back was instantly torn into several wounds so deep that the bones could be seen, and a strange black filth was wrapped around it.
He spat out a mouthful of black blood, tumbling and crawling away from the Nine Nether Pit, fainting beside a desolate grave. The bone box in his arms emitted an ominous glow...
Qixia Residence.
Late at night, Yun Chu, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes!
The ghost bell on the desk rang without wind, and the dark blue light flowing between the frost patterns flashed rapidly, like an alarm!
An extremely filthy, strange and violent evil aura, along with a feeling of the magic power she had deliberately left near the Jiuyou Pit as a "warning mark" being eroded, came clearly to her!
At the same time, she also caught another familiar, chaotic and weak breath belonging to Lin Chao, struggling weakly!
"Nine Netherworld Pit? Triggered in advance?" A trace of solemnity and confusion flashed in Yun Chu's cold eyes.
In the book, the shocking changes in the Nine Nether Pit occurred a year later! "Lin Chao... you actually went there in advance? And it led to something unexpected?"
Yun Chu immediately stood up and made a gesture with her fingers. An ice-blue rune that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye appeared in front of her, clearly marking the location where Lin Chao was unconscious and the foul black aura emanating from him.
At the same time, the bone box in the unconscious Lin Chao's arms trembled slightly. A weak but clear female voice, filled with strong obsession, rang out directly in his confused consciousness:
"I…hate…let…me…out…" (Save me…let me out…)
Qiu Niang, the evil ghost in half red clothes, had her seal loosened a little ahead of time due to the drastic changes in the outside world!
She whispered seductively to Lin Chao - because Lin Chao, who was breathing weakly at the moment, was her only hope of escaping!
Yun Chu stood in the garden of Qixia Residence, the cool moonlight casting its shadow on her face. She looked at the direction indicated by the runes on her fingertips and the mark of the foul aura.
"Plans can't keep up with changes..." she whispered, a hint of determination in her coldness. "I wanted to use gentle means to crush you completely into the dust. But since you've already caused such trouble..."
A sharp gleam flashed in her eyes.
"That's fine. This uncontrollable change might... be the opportunity to completely and forever damn you. This time, it's not to crush your aura, but..."
The night wind blew, and the frost-patterned Taoist robe rustled. The dim light of the Ghost Bell gradually stabilized, but became deeper.
"…to clean it thoroughly!"
Yun Chu's figure disappeared under the moonlight and quietly went towards the direction where Lin Chao was unconscious.
She knew that Lin Chao, who had picked up the bone box and was corroded by filthy evil spirits, had become an extremely dangerous fuse.
She must not only resolve this unexpected crisis, but also take this opportunity to firmly control Qiu Niang, the last evil spirit who could become Lin Chao's "noble person" (although this is a dangerous double-edged sword), and become the last straw that breaks the camel's back! A new storm is coming early!
The moonlight from Qixia Residence seemed tinged with frost. Yun Chu's figure blended into the night, moving at a speed far beyond the reach of the naked eye. Following the traces of the spell left on Lin Chao's body and the foul, evil aura, he appeared almost instantly at the outskirts of the mass grave west of the city.
The pungent smell of decay mixed with the smell of fresh blood hit my face.
Lin Chao huddled in a panic beside a collapsed grave, his face as pale as death. The wound on his back was so deep that the bone was visible, but the most terrifying thing about the wound was the foul black air that was wrapped around it and wriggling and spreading like a living thing.
The black air was greedily devouring his vitality and remaining yang energy, making a subtle, teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.
He held the cracked human bone box tightly in his arms. A faint soul power fluctuation, extremely obscure and filled with strong obsession and resentment, was overflowing from it, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, trying to lick Lin Chao's residual soul consciousness - it was Qiu Niang who was trying to seduce the dying Lin Chao to lift the seal!
