Chapter 137 The Ghost Sect
Chapter 137 The Ghost Sect
Gao Ge and Qin Yan drink together.
As a common man, he is not that righteous. If now Qin Yan can still find those gossip mongers, Gao Ge really wants to kill all of them and cut off their heads to hold the wine.
If anyone dares to stand in front of them to persuade Qin Yan to let the bygones be bygones, without any efforts of Qin Yan, Gao Ge will show him what brutality is even if he uses up all his power of stars.
He feels that Qin Yan suffers from great injustice.
A man who died for his country without even falling in the end has to suffer such humiliation. Yet, he has no idea whether Qin Yan has been cleared of wrongdoing. If yes, did he also receive many replies of “Oh”?
“If you cannot meet your wife and kid here, will you keep waiting?” Gao Ge asks.
“I don’t know.” Qin Yan shakes his head, “But that man told me that I would meet them as long as I wait here.”
Hearing that, Gao Ge suddenly feels shocked and raises his head to look at Qin Yan with bright eyes, “Who told you that?”
“An old man.”
“When?”
Qin Yan thinks for a while and shakes his head, “I cannot tell you. Since he helps me, I can’t betray him.”
Gao Ge doesn’t respond. Instead, he falls into deep thought.
He cannot betray the man?
That is to say, the man is still alive and not dead.
Otherwise, Qin Yan doesn’t even need to worry about that.
Then does Qin Yan and his soldiers’ lingering have anything to do with that man? If it is him who is fanning the fire secretly, what is he up to?
All of a sudden, Gao Ge realizes that the whole thing has been changed. There must be a reason why the Cultivation Academy and the Dragon Court ranked the task for Yue Xincheng and his team as a D-grade one. Maybe the situation in the tube-shaped apartment building was not as serious as now, which means that the change didn’t take place long time ago.
Qin Yan speaks again, “Mr. Gao, everything will be over by tonight. Then you can leave too.”
Gao Ge quickly stands up and stares at Qin Yan, “What will happen tonight?”
“That man told me that my wife and son might come back tonight. If they can’t, he will take me away to other places.” Qin Yan says.
Gao Ge cannot give any comment. After all, he has no idea who the man is, what he is up to or whether he is a good person or not.
Right then, he suddenly hears the sound of clanking.
At the moment, Gao Ge feels astonished as if his soul is shocked.
Bang.
Qin Yan suddenly stands up and turns over the table. His eyes become red instantly. Carrying a long sword, he directly walks out of the room.
“General Qin, what are you going to do?” Gao Ge asks.
Qin Yan turns a deaf ear to him.
It seems that he cannot hear Gao Ge at all.
Gao Ge gets a bit anxious and hastens to follow him only to find that the 3,000 soldiers are walking slowly out of the rooms.
The clanking sound is still on. The soldiers walk towards Qin Yan one by one.
Qin Yan suddenly raises his sword and slashes at a soldier. Instantly, the soldier disappears and then becomes a wisp of black air, which is taken in by Qin Yan.
“Devour the ghosts?” Gao Ge feels startled and gradually gets to understand.
The one ringing the bell is controlling Qin Yan?
He stands on the corridor and looks at the direction where the sound of the bell comes from. He keeps searching and finally has his eyes fixed on a group of people in cloak. It is unknown when they have built a high podium there, on which there is a table seemingly as the altar. On the altar there is some meat and a censer. Another man in black cloak is sitting on cattail hassock, ringing a bell and mumbling.
“The Ghost Sect?” Gao Ge’s pupils shrink immediately.
In his previous life, he only heard of it before. In the cultivation world, the most mysterious schools must be the Shadow School, followed by the Ghost Sect.
To his surprise, he gets to meet the Ghost Sect he didn’t see in his previous life.
As to how he knows they are from the Ghost Sect, it is quite simple.
A lot of Soul Summoning Pennants are placed on the podium, which is the unique signature of the Ghost Sect.
Any school that can be categorized as a sect is not small. Though the Ghost Sect has been declining, it still has a lot of remaining influences in the world, such as the corpse drivers, wizards, feng shui masters and fortune tellers. These people are somehow related to the Ghost Sect.
When he connects what Qin Yan said before, everything is very clear.
The tube-shaped apartment building and the lingering of these soldiers are due to the scheming of the Ghost Sect!
Why are they doing this?
Now Gao Ge cannot think about that.
Watching Qin Yan still devouring the ghosts of his soldiers, Gao Ge can do nothing even if he wants to.
He rushes to the room where Xia Lu and the others are kept. When he opens the door, he takes out his sword and takes a leap to jump off the third floor. After he lands, he immediately strikes at the podium built by the men of the Ghost Sect.
Before he reaches their front, three men in black cloak stand in his way.
“The Ghost Sect’s business. Living people keep away!”
One of the men in black cloak says in a deep voice.
Without saying anything, Gao Ge has waved his sword.
He targets at the man in black cloak who was talking to him.
“You are courting death!”
Noticing that Gao Ge should dare to fight instead of backing off, the man flies into a rage. He takes out a talisman. Just like doing magic, a ball of flame comes out of the talisman.
Gao Ge is caught off guard. Faced with the heat, he quickly draws back for a distance.
“Humph. How dare you act so recklessly! Get lost now and you can still get a chance of surviving!” The man says with a snort.
Gao Ge takes a deep breath. Even the air feels hot.
Instead of retreating, he chooses to go at the opponents proactively.
His power of stars starts to surge at the time. As the sword wind whistles, he reaches the front of the opponents.
“Heaven Shaking Sword Method?” The man is apparently shocked. Luckily, he reacts quickly so he dodges the attack. However, his arm is still pierced through and not severely injured.
“It is such a surprise that you should know the Heaven Shaking Sword Method. Are you a student of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect?” Another man in black cloak says out of surprise, “No, you can’t be. The Xiaoshan Sword Sect pays no attention to the affairs of the mortal world and will never send their students to the Cultivation Academy...”
“Hehe, it turns out that you know I am a student from the Cultivation Academy. Then how dare you do this to us? Aren’t you afraid that the Dragon Court will get even with you for this?” Gao Ge says with red eyes.
He is rather angry, not because of the emergence of the Ghost Sect but due to their dirty move.
Judging from Qin Yan’s reaction, needless to say, he must be controlled by the man to devour the soldiers’ ghosts slowly.
If he finds it out, how heavy will the strike be for him?
For Qin Yan, those soldiers who are willing to die with him in battle are just like his brothers.
This is real brutality!
“Humph, the Cultivation Academy is nothing! Even if he is from the Academy, he will die for getting in my way!”
The three men take out a blue talisman at the same time and break a finger by the teeth to let the blood fall on it.
Then, the three talismans, just like setting off a chemical reaction, give off red smoke.
In the red smoke comes the sound of shrill wailing. When the smoke takes shape, three women ghosts in red show up.
“Kill him!”
That is what the Ghost Sect does, which is famous for exorcism.
By exorcism, it actually means that they summon the ghosts and drive them to do as told instead of making them leave.
