I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 147

The moment the ghost woman knelt down, your brows also furrowed with concern, you knew trouble had arrived.

Actually, when you heard the three words "Soul Refining Sect," you pieced together the information you had previously gathered, and at the same time, recalled an extremely cruel form of torture called Bone and Flesh Separation.

The so-called Bone and Flesh Separation, Ma Hong and his two women served as the best examples. You weren’t clear on how this torture was carried out, but you guessed it must have something to do with the Pupil Skill.

Originally, you adhered to the principle of "not my business, not my problem," planning to inform Xian Qianling about the Soul Refining Sect matter before preparing to take your Detective Agency members and leave.

But now, with the ghost woman kneeling like this, you found yourself somewhat caught in a dilemma.

Alas!

Forget it, might as well go all the way and send the Buddha to the west!

You looked down at the ghost woman in front of you and said softly, "Get up first, then we’ll talk."

"Benefactor, I beg you, only you can save Ma Hong now."

"Don’t panic, first tell me, how can we save Ma Hong?" The ghost woman appeared very frightened, as if something was chasing her.

"Benefactor, Ma Hong’s soul is trapped in the Eternal Demon City; they want to refine his soul into a pill. Please save him! In my next life, or the life after, I’ll be your slave, your maid, a pig, a dog, just to repay you!"

Seeing how distraught the ghost woman was, your eyes fixed with determination, you firmly said, "Don’t worry, I will definitely rescue Ma Hong’s soul, and let him re-enter the cycle of reincarnation."

For ghosts, losing the physical body wasn’t frightening. What was truly terrifying was being scattered into nothingness, which meant truly leaving nothing behind.

"Let’s go!"

With that command, Xian Qianling let out a low shout and stepped forward with her long legs, ready to leave.

You quickly reached out to stop this crazy woman, asking, "Where are you going?"

"Where else but the Eternal Demon City!"

"How do you plan to get in? Are you just going to charge in guns blazing and then kill them all without leaving a single one?"

Xian Qianling admitted she had acted a bit impulsively, she took a couple of steps back and said to you, "What else is there to do?"

You let out a gentle sigh and said, "Let’s deal with the situation at hand first."

"The situation at hand?"

While everyone was puzzled, you looked up at the gate outside and called out, "Friend outside the door, you’ve been eavesdropping for so long, isn’t it time you came in?"

Everyone suddenly turned their heads toward the gate!

At that moment, an eerie laugh of a man came from outside, "Oh ho ho, I didn’t expect to find such a master hidden here."

Soon after, a man almost as tall as Zong Wangyue walked in.

Upon seeing the man, you blurted out, "So it’s you."

"Oh? Little brother, you know me? Have we met?" The man looked very thin and was wearing a green Taoist robe. Anyone who saw him would surely give him a wide berth, as this Taoist gave off an exceedingly sinister vibe.

"Ma Hong and his two women, you killed them, didn’t you?"

"No, no, no, little brother, you need to get your facts straight. I haven’t killed anyone," the man said with a smile, "I was just passing by and saw a ghost wandering about in broad daylight, so I came to take a look."

"Is that so? If you’re not guilty, why are you holding that magic artifact in your hand?"

With you pointing this out, everyone immediately looked at the man’s right hand. His sleeves were wide, and his hand was withdrawn inside, which wouldn’t be noticed without careful attention, but now that you mentioned it, everyone realized that he seemed to be holding a bronze bell.

"Oh dear, no choice then, since you’ve seen through me, I guess you’ll all have to come with me," he said.

As he spoke, the man suddenly shook the bronze bell in his hand!

"Dingling—"

The sound emitted from the bell seemed to carry a magic power that could instantly disorient you, making your heads spin and lose your sense of direction.

Meanwhile, you suddenly notice a strange gleam in the man’s eyes.

A sense of unprecedented danger immediately descended!

"Don’t look into his eyes!"

It was too late!

As you shouted, the people around you had already locked their gazes, staring at the man as if they were under some kind of evil spell.

"Heh heh heh, the kid is really overestimating himself!" the man sneered, seeing that you were the only one with your head down, not making eye contact, "Do you think you can avoid my Soul Capturing Technique by not looking at me?"

"Dee-dong—"

The sound of copper bells, when heard, was like someone whispering seductively right at your ear, "Lift your head, lift your head, look at him, it’s fine, it’s fine..."

You slowly lifted your head and met the man’s eyes.

"Yo yo yo, I’m in luck today, didn’t expect to catch such a beautiful policewoman, tsk tsk tsk, first I’ll take her back and enjoy the body, then strip away the soul and turn you into my Taoist soul slave!"

The man slowly approached Xian Qianling, his face full of lewd and evil intent.

"Hey."

At that moment, a highly discordant voice rang out.

The man turned his head, and the instant he made eye contact with you, his whole body shuddered!

"You... you..."

The man’s body seemed to be imprisoned by some force, unable to move, just staring at you fixedly.

"You dared to use a Pupil Skill on me? Hmm, hmm hmm hmm." Amidst cold laughter, two Mysterious Seals flashed in your eyes!

"Who are you exactly? How can you break my Soul Stabilizing Spell!"

The man trembled violently, struggling against the power holding him, his body slowly backing away.

"Trying to run? You don’t have a chance!"

Eyes wide open!

The two Mysterious Seals flickered with a sinister light, and soon after, the man’s pupils also reflected two Mysterious Seals, followed by a sensation of his head instantly exploding, boom—

After a loud noise, only the echo remained, and the man’s spirit collapsed, letting out a wretched howl!

He clutched his head, issuing a heart-wrenching scream, and eventually, his head drooped.

"Drip."

A droplet of blood fell onto the floor beneath him.

"What, what happened? What just happened?" Zong Wangyue finally came to his senses and shouted.

"It seems we were hit by an Evil Arts." Wei Shuxian pushed his glasses up, his brows deeply furrowed, as he noticed the man with his head lowered, blood trickling down his face onto the floor.

Zhang Zifeng walked over and lifted the man’s head, horrified to find two trails of blood from the man’s eyes!

"He was backfired by his own Pupil Skill." You took a deep breath and approached the man, saying coldly to him, "Tell me, what is your name? What do you do, and what is your status in the Soul Refining Sect?"

The man’s body swayed slightly as he truthfully answered your question: "My name is Hu Da, just a disciple of the Left Hall Master of the Soul Refining Sect, in charge of the Eternal Demon City."

"How many strongholds does the Soul Refining Sect have in Yuhang?" Xian Qianling suddenly came over and asked.

"We have three, three..."

"Bang!"

Hu Da’s head suddenly burst open, his disgusting brain matter mixed with blood splattering all over you and Xian Qianling!
