The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 49 - 46: Soul Summoning Formation

Chapter 49: Chapter 46: Soul Summoning Formation

With a bang, before even turning around, Qin Zhao struck out with a palm behind her.

Instantly, Shen Dongdong was sent flying by her blow.

"If you leave now, I might still spare your life."

Shen Dongdong glared at Qin Zhao, then his gaze shifted to the two bodyguards.

"You can go, but they must stay!"

He had intentionally left two people alive, to use as the Array Eye.

Qin Zhao looked at him indifferently, "Do you think you can stop me?"

The pale cyan Spiritual Power in her hand shot out, shattering the several corpses on top of the pyramid.

These were deliberately placed by Shen Dongdong, to activate some ancient Evil Formation that summoned Dead Souls.

"You...! You’re seeking death!"

Shen Dongdong’s face twisted with rage as he attacked Qin Zhao.

"I’ve been preparing for so long, why did you have to come at this time!

It’s your own fault for seeking death, so don’t blame me!"

But he was no match for Qin Zhao, who beat him until he spat blood after just a few exchanges.

"Are you a Heavenly Master too?"

Shen Dongdong looked at Qin Zhao unwillingly, "Although I used them to sacrifice the Evil Formation, these people deserved to die! Who do they think they are, acting superior, why do they discriminate against the disabled, why do they bully them!

They just wanted to survive, but what about these people? They didn’t leave them any way out and even caused the death of Donghong! I killed them to make them atone for their sins!"

Qin Zhao recognized his identity at first glance, the owner of that small disabled workshop.

The village chief called him Old Shen when he drove them away that day.

The Spiritual Power in her hands had already gathered, and Qin Zhao could have killed him with one blow, but she hesitated to attack.

After a long pause, Qin Zhao gestured towards the two bodyguards, "They are innocent."

The village head and those villagers, perhaps they all bullied these disabled people. Shi Yunkai and the two actress secretly insulted them with their words; indeed, what goes around comes around, but these two bodyguards looking for someone were innocent.

Shen Dongdong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Fine, you take them and leave. But you can’t meddle with the altar anymore! Donghong has been dead for so long, and I can’t find her soul no matter what. She came to me in a dream; she said she was trapped and couldn’t leave."

Shen Dongdong pointed to the two bodies on top of the altar, which belonged to Qu Donghong’s parents.

"It was them who intentionally killed Donghong... to commit insurance fraud! Have some pity on me, and let me summon her soul, so I can send her on to reincarnation."

Her parents had always seen the deaf-mute Qu Donghong as a burden, ignoring her since childhood. Later, when they were strapped for cash, they found Qu Donghong while Shen Dongdong was in the hospital.

They bought insurance in secret and then lured Qu Donghong to the mountains to kill her, claiming a large amount of insurance money.

In the deep mountains, there were many Heavenly Pits, below which lay an endless Abyss.

That was the perfect place to hide a body after murder.

Qin Zhao saw the man’s eyes red with pain and his face twisted with suffering, and thinking of those people who had died and deserved it, she felt there was no need for her to interfere.

"Can you still walk?"

She turned to ask the two bodyguards.

They nodded hastily, their legs may have been weak, but they could still run for their lives.

Qin Zhao led the two down the mountain, but before long, the Communication Talisman in her pocket wouldn’t stop buzzing.

"Zhaozhao! Help!"

Su Xiaotong’s cry for help came through, and Qin Zhao suddenly felt something was wrong, abruptly stopping in her tracks.

That Soul Summoning Formation required living people to be the Array Eye to be activated!

Qin Zhao took away these two living people, so where would Old Shen get new living people from?

Only those who had left! If he captured them for sacrifice, he could activate the Array!

-

A few minutes earlier, at the entrance of the village.

Su Xiaotong and the others had felt the fog getting thicker nearby, and then they encountered a landslide. The fallen rocks had blocked their way out.

Pei Rou’s car was at the very front, and they were stuck there while the other cars also stopped.

"What’s blocking the road? Is there another way?"

"There isn’t, we can only leave from here."

"So, what do we do? I don’t want to go back."

"Get everyone out of the cars, let’s clear these things together."

Since they were here to film an outdoor survival show, they had quite a few tools in their vehicles.

The men got out of their cars and started shoveling the chunks of soil, hoping to clear a path quickly so that they could leave this eerie little village. Many of the women also stepped forward to help.

"Ah! A ghost!"

Pei Rou suddenly let out a shrill scream, startling everyone.

When they looked in the direction Pei Rou was pointing, they saw a long-haired woman crawling out from underneath the car next door, her pallid arm clearly not a hue that could belong to any living person.

"Hehe, come with me."

From the mouth of the woman, a weird hoarse voice came out. Her pale hand clutched Pei Rou’s ankle.

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Screams rose one after another at the scene.

Su Xiaotong was not far away, holding a talisman that Qin Zhao had given her.

She had seen the female ghost before and was calmer than the others. Seeing everyone running away, she took a deep breath and walked towards Pei Rou.

"Evil ghost, begone!"

After chanting the spell, Su Xiaotong hurriedly threw out the peace charm.

The peace charm landed on the back of the female ghost’s hand, igniting a burst of flame, forcing the ghost to let go of Pei Rou and roll on the ground, emitting painful cries.

"Don’t come any closer! I have more talismans, be careful or I’ll kill you!"

Su Xiaotong held up a Communication Talisman, nervously warning her.

The female ghost, seeing what was in her hand, showed signs of wariness.

Instantly, she fixed her gaze on Pei Rou, who was attempting to flee.

"I must take someone with me today!"

With a chilly ghostly energy, the female ghost floated towards them like a sinister breeze.

"Wuwuwu! Don’t grab me, grab her! Don’t come here, don’t!"

Pei Rou was terrified, her face pale and tears streaming down her cheeks.

As the female ghost flew towards them, Pei Rou pushed Su Xiaotong out in front of her.

Su Xiaotong’s Communication Talisman fell to the ground, and then the female ghost grasped her shoulder.

In the nick of time, Su Xiaotong recited a spell, but the Communication Talisman only transmitted a single phrase, "Zhaozhao, save me!" Then the ghost vanished with Su Xiaotong.

"Xiao Tong!"

After the ghost disappeared, everyone was still shaken, taking a while before anyone remembered Su Xiaotong.

Feeling the strange looks from others, Pei Rou sobbed with tears streaming down her face, "I, I didn’t mean to do it, I was just so scared, I didn’t know what I was doing."

Someone shiveringly asked, "That ghost said she had to take someone with her today, and she took Su Xiaotong. Does that mean, we’re all safe?"

No one answered, but everyone’s hearts relaxed slightly.

Although Su Xiaotong was taken, at the moment of life and death, everyone could only think of their own safety.

If it wasn’t themselves being taken, who could care for another?
