Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 621: Power of the Holy Mother Scepter

“Where? Where is he?”

I feltinspired and joltedup immediately.

I followed Chuyi’s line of sight and saw a short, bony old man leaving that house. Hehada bucket on his backas hesneakilymovedtoward the river. When he came to the riverbank, he put the bucketinthe water and got into it. Heslowlypaddledaway. He looked like a child playing in a water park.

I didn’t know what he was doing, so I asked Chuyi.Hethought then answered, “Perhaps he’s trying to sense the Dragon Eye’s aura.”

Chuyigrabbed his eight-faceted Han sword,climbed off the water tower,and headedtoward the riverbank.

At thismoment, the old man had paddled around a hundred meters away. Chuyi followed him alongside the riverbank. The old man suddenly took a turn. However, asimplestructure obstructed our sight.When we crossed those obstacles, the old man had already disappeared!

“What should we do now?” I was a little flustered.

Chuyi shot me a glance then jumped directly into the river. I wasn’t good at swimming, so I had to wait here.

Half an hour later, Chuyihadn’treturned. I had to walk onthesmall path alone. After a few steps, I saw Chuyi swimming toward me. I hurried to pull him up. He had blood all over his body, and hisface was strangely pale.

“Hurry, carry me back.” Chuyi fainted after saying that. I didn’t know what had happened, but if themancould hurt him like this, he wasn’t weak at all. I clenched my jaw and picked him upbefore puttinghim on my back. I started to run towards our car.

I had run for quite a long time, but I hadn’t gotten out of the place yet. Then, I realized the strange situation. When I came here, it didn’t take such a long time! I now knew I was inanillusion!

Chuyi was right. This shabby, calm-looking village didhide a murderousaura! I stopped and took out theIllusory Mind Bell. I wanted to use the belltosee if I could find the way out. But before I could shake it, Chuyi grabbed my hand.

“Oh, you’re awake. What happened back there?”

I cheeredupand puthim down. As long as he was with me, no matter what happened, I could feel at ease.

However, Chuyi didn’t use theIllusory Mind Bell. He put on a cold smirk and threw it far away. He turned to meand said inan amused tone,“Oh, withthesemediocreskills, you dare come to Dragon King Village?”

“You… Who are you?”

When the man spoke, it wasn’t Chuyi’s voice. Instinctively, I retreatedand panicked.

He sneered and pulledoffhis facial skin, which revealed a withered, wrinkled face.

“It’s you!” I looked at the old man in front of me. I tooka deep breathand said,“What did you do tomy friend?”

“You should worry about yourself.”

The old man retreated a few steps. All of a sudden, he disappeared into thin air. Then, I heard an incoming noise. I frownedand clutchedthe Holy Mother Scepter tightly.

As the noise came closer, I saw numerous ghosts.This time, their target was me! They didn’t beset me or swarm over me at once.They cameorderlyin groups from all directions.

“Screwyou!” I couldn’t help but curse. Then, I hit the nearest ghost with the Emei Piercer. I now regrettednotbringingthe Yin and Yang Umbrella.

As they were coming in groups, I couldn’t capture them at once even if I used theBigDipper Sirius Spell. Moreover, I was still in anillusion. Icouldn’t waste a lot of strength on them.

I was lucky that the withered, old man didn’t take myIllusory Mind Bell. Wielding the Holy Mother Scepter and the Emei Piercer, I moved toward theIllusory Mind Bell. When theIllusory Mind Bellwas finally in my sight, I feltrelieved. I swept the Holy Mother Scepteraround to force the approaching ghosts to back off. Then, I jumped and grabbed theIllusory Mind Bell. I shookit hard.

However, theIllusory Mind Belldidn’t work. It didn’t affect those ghosts at all.On the contrary,it seemedto make the ghosts more excited. It looked like the old man had deliberately leftbehindthe bell.

He was afraid of theIllusory Mind Bell, but the ghosts weren’t! I didn’t have time to figure outthe reason whena sharp pain hit my shoulder. I turned my head aside and saw a ghost tearing my shoulder!

“Damn you! Get off me!”

I stabbed the Emei Pierce into the soil and quickly took out a talismanbefore palmingit on the ghost’s forehead. The ghost screeched andvanished into awisp of smoke. The other ghoststhat were watching me halted at the scene. Their eyes moved, lookinghere and there. I knew they were scared.

It seemed they were afraid of spiritual talismans. Ihadfinally foundtheir weakness. I took out a few talismansthenproactively approachedthe ghosts.They dispersedimmediately. However,the nearest ghosts weren’t that lucky.They vanished after being hit.

After confirming that they were scared of spirit talismans, I didn’t use them anymore. With the Holy Mother Scepter in hand, I moved forward. Whenever they wanted to jump toward me, I would put my hand into my pocket as though I was about to take out the talismans. The ghost would freeze at that move.

However, I was just pulling back and forth with the ghosts. As I didn’t have time to think abouthow to escape theillusion,I becamerestless. My movements weren’tcoordinated, either.

The ghosts seemed to recognize my weakness. They started to swarm toward me like bees taking revenge for their broken hive. I had to quit my conservativetacticand use the talisman.

However, there were so many of them. When they came near, Isubconsciously put my hand into my pocket and realized that I had used up my talismans!

The ghosts halted. But then,seeing thatI couldn’t take out more talismans, they became excited. They shrilled and shrieked as they stormedtoward me.

As I was in this situation, I had no other choice. I read theBigDipper Sirius Spell. The Holy Mother Scepter immediately radiated a gold lightthat expanded fromme. The ghosts around me were smashed.

Since there were too many of them, the pressure the Holy Mother Scepter had to bear was getting bigger and bigger. I could feel my strength draining.

I decided to make the last bet. I kept readingthe spell to maximize my controlofthe scepter.

After I had finished reading the spell, the Holy Mother Scepter floatedup and hoveredin the air while the gold light endlesslyexpanded. This move endedall the ghosts in thisillusoryspace.

I exhaled and squatted, gasping for my breath. I had to rub my belly in order not to vomit.

“Die!”

Rightatthis moment, I heard theangryvoice of the old man behind me. Immediately, cold energy ambushed me from behind. I knew it was a deadly attack, but I didn’t have enough strength to avoidit.

It felt like I washitby a train. I was sent flyinga few meters backwardandvomited blood. When I fell, I didn’t even feelanypain, but my limbsshookuncontrollably.
