Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

West of MO City.

In an alley not far from the Chengguo Residence, there was a desolate and dilapidated mansion.

It was overgrown with weeds and filled with dust.

From the looks of it, no one lived there.

However, at this moment, in a room in the backyard, a few scarlet candles could be vaguely seen through the gaps in the window.

Thick curtains covered the room, and it was uncomfortably warm.

At this moment, an old woman in a red floral robe and a round hat was sitting cross-legged in front of the candles. She closed her eyes and was muttering as she did some calculations with her fingers.

Beside the old woman stood a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, watching attentively.

After a while.

The middle-aged man finally could not help but ask in a low voice, “How is it?” He waited for a moment.

The old woman suddenly opened her eyes. Her scarlet pupils reflected the flickering candlelight in front of her, but her eyes seemed to be unfocused. Her voice was low and hoarse. “It’s already there. The snow outside is very heavy, and there’s no light in the house. That kid should be asleep… I will get it to check how many people are in the house first. After that, I’ll cast a spell on him so that he’ll fall into a nightmare…’

The middle-aged man hunched his body and was a little nervous. “It’s so far

away. Nothing will go wrong, right?”

The old woman snorted coldly, and a scarlet light flickered in her eyes. “Butler Wang, don’t worry. That ghost slave of mine is not an ordinary thing. Although it can’t compare to an out-of-body soul and it doesn’t dare approach a martial artist with strong vigor and vitality, scaring a weak scholar is nothing to it. Back then, I used it to scare several women and ill people to death.”

The middle-aged man hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “I’ll be counting on you then.”

A glint flashed in the old woman’s eyes. She formed hand seals and muttered some incantations before she yelled, “Go in!”

Her gaze landed on the refined little ghost. Facing the snowstorm, it floated toward the window of the house.

At the same time.

At the Qin residence.

Luo Qingzhou’s out-of-body soul suddenly saw a black shadow land lightly in the small courtyard outside through the crack in the door.

It was especially clear under the light of the snow.

A few wisps of black aura lingered around the black shadow. Its face was ferocious, and its eyes were red. Clearly, it was the ghost mentioned in the book.

It was different from the soul.

These ghosts did not have their own consciousness. Other than the various emotions they carried with them when they died, they almost did not have their own thoughts.

Other than the wandering souls, these ferocious ghosts with bloodshot eyes could be evil ghosts, resentful ghosts, or ghost slaves of humans.

The eyes of the little ghost outside flickered as it looked furtively at the window of his room. Clearly, it was not an ordinary ghost, nor did it barge in unintentionally. It had a purpose.

This was his first successful attempt at astral projection, so Luo Qingzhou was still a little weak. He was well aware that he could not deal with this ghost with his soul alone.

Therefore, he made a prompt decision and immediately floated back to his room to return to his body.

In almost an instant, his soul fused with his body.

He opened his eyes and looked at the window. A cold glint flashed across his eyes. He immediately stood up and hid beside the window.

Then, he clenched his fists. The skin on his arms tightened and his muscles bulged. The internal energy in his body surged into his fists. He held his breath and was ready to attack!

Ghosts were most afraid of things with extreme Yang energy. Martial artists with vigorous blood and Qi were their nemesis!

Whoo…

First, a cold wind blew and knocked on the window.

Then, the ferocious black shadow stepped on the black gas and passed through the window. It stuck its head out and floated in. It widened its scarlet eyes and looked into the house.

However, before it could see clearly, a scorching aura suddenly came from the darkness beside it!

Boom!

There was a sudden explosion in the silent room!

Then, a hot wave of air instantly pierced through its body. Before it could react, it exploded in its body!

Its body which was surrounded by black fog was instantly blasted into pieces and dispersed like smoke!

Sizzle…

In its shock, it was about to gather its body and escape when it suddenly realized that the fist that had pierced through its body had a few small blue electric arcs!

A shrill scream that only it could hear suddenly came from its twisted, desperate face.

Before it could react, its soul dissipated and it turned into nothingness! At the same time.

In the backyard of that desolate and dilapidated mansion, a shrill and hoarse scream suddenly sounded from a certain house!

The old woman, who was casting a spell with her scarlet eyes wide open, suddenly covered her eyes that were in pain. She screamed and rolled on the ground. Her wrinkled old face was distorted, and she looked as terrifying as a demon!

Wang Cheng, who was beside her, trembled in fear. He hurriedly retreated and pressed himself against a corner, his face filled with shock.

After a long time.

The old woman, who was covering her eyes and rolling on the ground, finally regained her silence. She lay there motionless as if she had died.

Wang Cheng’s face was filled with fear. After waiting for a while, he involuntarily took a step forward and called out in a trembling voice, “Sorceress…” “Sorc—.”

“I’m fine…

The old woman suddenly spoke, her voice even hoarser than before. She slowly sat up from the ground and removed her hands from her eyes.

Only then did Wang Cheng realize in shock that her eyes were filled with blood. Two lines of scarlet blood flowed down from the corners of her eyes and hung on her face like blood tears. Coupled with her wrinkled and ferocious old face, she looked abnormally terrifying.

“I didn’t expect that there would be a martial artist hidden in that kid’s room..

The old woman sat down facing the candlelight again. Her face had already regained its calmness, and her eyes were still dripping with blood.

Wang Cheng’s expression was ugly. “It should be that maidservant… Sorceress, w-what should we do?”

The flickering candlelight reflected in the old woman’s blood-red eyes. She smiled sinisterly. “How can I let them off after they have destroyed a ghost slave that I’ve spent so much effort to refine? Butler Wang, don’t worry. Since I’ve accepted this task, I’ll naturally help you get rid of that kid. That maidservant can’t possibly accompany him every night. After I rest for two days, I’ll send two more powerful ghost slaves over. Even martial artists won’t be able to detect them. I’ll turn that kid into an idiot.”

Wang Cheng lowered his head and cupped his hands. “Thank you.”

“Hmph! If I had taken action personally, I would have succeeded in one try. Things wouldn’t have become so troublesome. The only reason I didn’t do that is because my soul left my body yesterday and I discovered that there were soul cultivation experts in MO City. I was afraid that I would overstep the boundary and unintentionally provoke them.”

The old woman sneered and closed her eyes. The corners of her eyes twitched in pain. Under the candlelight, her face twisted into an ugly grimace, becoming even more ferocious than before.

The cold wind howled outside the window, and the snow became heavier.

After Luo Qingzhou killed the ghost with a punch, he was thinking about something in front of the window when Xiao Die’s panicked voice suddenly came from outside the door. “Young Master, was there thunder just now?”

“Sounds like it.”

Luo Qingzhou retracted his aura and returned to the bed.

The little girl pushed open the door and ran in with a frightened expression.

Luo Qingzhou knew that she was most afraid of thunder. He lifted the blanket and said, “Come, I will hug you to sleep. Don’t be afraid.”

Xiao Die let out a whimper.

The young girl got into bed, crawled under the blanket, and pressed herself against his chest.

Luo Qingzhou hugged her and lay down. He recalled the punch just now.

Although it was his physical body that had thrown out a punch earlier, he felt that his soul, which had just returned to his body, seemed to be punching together with the physical body.

He wondered if he could cultivate this Thunder Fist after his soul left his body.

He decided to give it a try tomorrow night.

The books said that to cultivate the soul, the first realm was the Elementary Glimpse Realm.

The Elementary Glimpse Realm consisted of five stages: Soul Fixation, Out of Body, Night Travel, Day Travel, and Controlling Things.

He had unknowingly completed his Soul Fixation. Tonight, his soul had successfully left its body, completing the Out of Body stage. It was probably all thanks to the black liquid.

Next, he would start with Night Travel so that his soul could continue to strengthen.

Then, he would go onto the Day Travel stage.

When his soul could appear under the light or even the scorching sun, it would undergo a greater qualitative change.

Then, the last stage would be the Controlling Things stage.

It was said that once one mastered that stage, one could control objects from a thousand miles away and decapitate a person. He could kill without leaving a trace and walk as fast as the wind. Even ordinary martial artists with vigorous Qi and blood would find it difficult to detect and resist him.

At the thought of this, Luo Qingzhou was rather excited and expectant.

If he could cultivate his soul successfully, he would not only defeat Luo Yu in the arena. He could do more than that!

Not only did he want that vicious First Madam to pay with her blood, but he also wanted her to suffer for the rest of her life!

The same goes for Luo Yu!

“Young Master… Touch..

The little girl in his arms suddenly twisted her body and placed her delicate feet into his hand. Her face was as red as an apple..
