Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After Driver Chen left, Chi Shuyan walked over to Swan Lake. Because it was a public tourist spot, there weren't any official personnel watching it, so it was very easy for her to enter.

There were a few small boats next to Swan Lake. Chi Shuyan got into a boat. Since it was night and there was no one around, she directly channeled her spiritual energy, and the boat moved on its own on the water without the need for oars. Chi Shuyan then took out 1,000 paper cranes and poured her spiritual energy into them. The paper cranes then flew up to lead the way.

Ever since she became a cultivator, her five senses were not only sharp, but also very accurate. She also had a strong reaction to things like baleful aura and yin energy.

It wasn't long before the boat approached the mouth of a cave which clearly contained a dense baleful aura.

It was just that something happened halfway.

Standing on the boat, Chi Shuyan clearly felt something pulling at it from below. The boat was about to sink.

Chi Shuyan took out a few Exorcism Talismans and threw them into the water without a change in expression. Then, a mournful scream suddenly rang out, and the calm surface of the lake rippled before something burst out of it.

Chi Shuyan took a glance and saw something that looked like a cross between a monkey and human, yet was neither. This thing was commonly known as a 'water ghost.'

Chi Shuyan took out another Explosive Talisman and blew the thing to pieces. For a moment, the mournful screams didn't stop. Then, the surface of the lake completely settled. Occasionally, there would be the cry of a bird. It sounded very scary at night, but Chi Shuyan was calm and not afraid at all.

Soon, the boat approached the mouth of the cave. Chi Shuyan went in. It was very damp and the ground was made of gravel.

The further in Chi Shuyan went, the thicker the baleful aura became. When she entered the deepest part of the cave, she saw a pool of water. The thick baleful aura had taken the form of smoke and was floating above the pool. Obviously, this wasn't an ordinary pool. It should be an illusion set up by that ghost thing.

It wasn't too difficult to break this illusion.

It didn't take long for Chi Shuyan to dispel this illusion, and the pool turned into a bright red pool of blood. A strong baleful aura poured out of this blood pool, and Chi Shuyan's face changed drastically.

This blood pool had probably been produced from that ghost thing killing countless people in the last several hundred years, while the baleful aura had probably been here to begin with. No wonder an ordinary water ghost was able to cultivate into becoming a great ghost in just a few hundred years.

Chi Shuyan was very glad that she had dealt with that ghost thing. Otherwise, if it had been left alone to continue harming people and cultivating, it would be really difficult to deal with.

She had originally wanted Xiao Ningjin and the others to sever the last of the karma and collect the remains of that ghost thing, but looking at this now, not only had this ghost thing taken many lives in the last few centuries, the blood of its victims had been poured into this pool.

Given how atrocious and sinister its crimes were, there was really no need to collect the remains. It seemed that this ghost thing hadn't been upright to begin with. If Chi Shuyan had felt a little sympathy when the ghost said that it had been wronged and drowned in a cage, this sympathy was completely erased when she saw this blood pool.

This blood pool and this baleful aura were really bad for people, but they were indeed very nutritious for supernatural beings. Chi Shuyan mulled over how to avoid wasting this blood pool. Moreover, such a dense baleful aura could only do harm to the animals and people nearby. She might as well stick the Yin Ghost Gonfalon in the middle of the blood pool so that the lonely souls and wild ghosts in it could absorb the human blood and baleful aura to their hearts' content.

With a wave of the Yin Ghost Gonfalon, thousands of lonely souls and wild ghosts howled and appeared. They began to crazily absorb the baleful aura and human blood in the pool. As these lonely souls and wild ghosts absorbed the baleful aura and human blood, their figures became more and more solid. There were even a few with profound cultivation who started to break through to the False Ghost King realm.

It was just a pity that it wasn't that easy to break through to the False Ghost King realm. In the end, only one succeeded, and the others all failed. However, the strength of thousands of lonely souls and wild ghosts was incomparable.

Chi Shuyan wasn't the only Celestial Master in the world. To avoid side problems, she set up a barrier at the entrance of the cave so that no one, not even Celestial Masters, could sense the dense yin energy and baleful aura here.

While the ghosts in the Yin Ghost Gonfalon absorbed the baleful aura and human blood, Chi Shuyan sat on the side and circulated her spiritual energy as she meditated.

Elsewhere, Driver Chen was driving passengers as usual. At first, he still remembered the young lady's reading, and was a little apprehensive. However, as the night wore on, he forgot about it for a moment.

After dropping off the last passenger, Driver Chen prepared to drive home.

Not long after, however, someone suddenly hailed his car in a more remote suburb, and said that he needed a ride.

Driver Chen rolled down the window and sized up the man outside. He saw that the man was an average-looking, somewhat thin person with a buzz cut and a very ordinary face. He was someone whom you wouldn't be able to pick out on the streets.

It was already so late, so Driver Chen was naturally wary, and this was also such a remote place. However, he saw that the man was thin and weak, so he didn't think much of it. He was about to unlock the door and let the man in.

For some reason, Driver Chen's eyes suddenly fell on the time in the car, which clearly showed that it was 3:25am.

He had forgotten what the young lady had told him.

Driver Chen was alarmed.

To be honest, although he didn't really believe that the man in front of him was some bad guy, the young lady's words from before inexplicably flustered him.

There was a flash of a vicious expression on the man's face before he approached the car. He said very mildly, "Brother, I beg you to do me a favor and give me a ride. It's late and it's not easy to hail a taxi. It's not good for me to be out here in the middle of nowhere at night. Brother, I beg you to do me this favor. I really have something to do. If you're willing to help, I'm willing to pay you three times the usual price."

The man spoke earnestly.

Driver Chen was a little moved. If it wasn't for that young lady's reading, he might have opened the car door and let the other party in without hesitation, but he was feeling a little anxious now.

Seeing this, the man pleaded earnestly again. Driver Chen was about to respond when, in the light of the car's headlights, he vaguely saw a smear of red on the corner of the man's shoe; it looked especially like human blood. His face changed drastically.

Because it was dark, the man didn't see his expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, do me this favor. As long as you're willing to help, it doesn't matter how expensive it is!"
