Holding a lantern, guiding souls across, Lady Hou comes from the underworld.

Nanchuan Hospital Front.

A woman walks gracefully through the night.

Arriving at the gate, she looked up at the three characters "Nanchuan Academy" on the plaque and subconsciously took a deep breath.

The simple courtyard enclosed by a fence was clearly out of place with the grand and magnificent Marquis's mansion, which shows the Marquis Renxuan's favoritism towards this younger brother.

This place has been uninhabited for more than ten years, but the Marquis's residence is still maintained by people every morning and evening.

Not only is the interior spotless, but even the flowers and plants planted by the former owner have been preserved.

Bai Qingshuang gracefully pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in with light steps.

Although there was no one around, she walked cautiously, as if she was worried about disturbing the peace or as if she was on guard.

As she walked across the courtyard, she gently waved her sleeve, and the door opened in response.

But she wasn't in a hurry to go in; instead, she carefully observed her surroundings.

There is only one house here.

Although the area is spacious, there is just too much stuff piled up there.

There are five cabinets alone, not to mention a mountain of boxes and chests.

Finding something under such circumstances is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In fact, she had already visited once ten years ago.

However, at that time, she had not yet cleansed herself of the malevolent energy.

So much so that before they even got close, they were nearly annihilated by the chaotic array of magical artifacts inside.

Bai Qingshuang frowned slightly. To avoid getting any "things" in the room on her, she lifted her skirt and tiptoed around.

My gaze slowly swept over the pile of items, but a thought flashed through my mind...

That sword was no ordinary object; it could never be exposed so casually.

However, Ren Yao is an eccentric and unpredictable person; one cannot understand his thoughts using the logic of an ordinary person…

That's why Bai Qingshuang didn't dare to overlook any corner.

After searching for a while, she realized something and turned to look outside.

Someone had actually followed her.

Bai Qingshuang suddenly curled the corners of her lips.

interesting.

With a flick of her sleeve, she transformed into a wisp of smoke, floating in mid-air.

The person outside the door couldn't see her, and after observing her from the shadows for a while, he climbed in through the window.

He was very agile; he was clearly a trained fighter.

Bai Qingshuang, transformed into wisps of smoke, consciously approached and slowly swirled around him.

He seemed a little surprised and shooed it away with his hand.

Unexpectedly, the smoke became increasingly tighter, making him feel somewhat suffocated.

In that split second, a Bagua mirror hanging in the room reflected golden light, which shone directly on the man.

The wisp of smoke, illuminated by the golden light, immediately bounced outside.

Bai Qingshuang transformed into human form and collapsed in a flower bush in a sorry state.

She brushed her clothes off and was about to get up when she discovered that the soil on the hem of her clothes had inexplicably caught fire again.

Startled, she quickly plunged back into the lake.

Inside the courtyard of Nanchuan, Adong heard a sound and looked out the window, only to see the garden flowers and plants swaying gently in the moonlight.

A scene of tranquility.

Where are they?

He looked around, puzzled.

It seems we've really lost them now.

Bai Qingshuang climbed out of the lake, somewhat embarrassed.

I don't know what that kid Ren Yao buried in the yard, there are even things in the soil that can cure "ghosts".

She didn't even see a glimpse of the sword, yet she ended up in such a sorry state.

hateful.

Just as they were gritting their teeth, wishing they could raze the entire Yunhe Mountain to the ground, a bright white beam of light shot through the sky.

She stared intently at it, and her legs suddenly felt weak.

If I'm not mistaken, that's sword light.

Could it be that Ren Yao didn't hide the sword in Nanchuan Courtyard?

It's in Beiyuan!

Bai Qingshuang was overjoyed and immediately transformed into a wisp of smoke, drifting towards the direction of Beiyuan.

However, her expression froze as soon as she reached the entrance of the North Garden.

"Is it you?"

In the North Garden courtyard, Yan Zhengchu, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood with his hands behind his back. When he saw Bai Qingshuang, his expression hardened: "So, you ghost really are here!"

That day, in the battle inside the Tongtian Pavilion of Fu Lou, their strengths were evenly matched, and they barely managed to draw.

Bai Qingshuang managed to escape his clutches by launching a sneak attack while he was distracted.

Right now, we've run into each other head-on, which is really infuriating.

Without saying a word, Yan Zhengchu immediately drew his jade sword.

Bai Qingshuang stared at his sword and wondered if the sword light she had just seen came from him.

wrong.

With his current level of Taoist cultivation, the jade sword couldn't possibly have such a powerful deterrent effect...

She suddenly smiled sweetly: "Little Taoist, don't be in such a hurry to fight. Don't you want to know where everyone in this Marquis's mansion has gone?"

Yan Zhengchu was anxious about this matter, and immediately raised his thick eyebrows: "Did you do this in secret?"

"Speak quickly, what exactly have you done here, you ghost?"

Bai Qingshuang clicked her tongue in admiration twice, "You call yourself the eldest disciple of Master Tianji, yet you are truly ignorant..."

These words displeased Yan Zhengchu.

But then he thought about it again, and realized that his trip down the mountain to find the "Soul Nourishing Pearl" was his first experience.

That's not wrong, it's just that I have limited knowledge.

However, he had already read his master's "Exorcism Manual" thoroughly, and thus had read about his master's "life story".

"Stop trying to fool me, I'll beat you to a pulp today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a spell was cast towards Bai Qingshuang.

However, the opponent did not respond, transforming into smoke and nimbly dodging in the air.

He said, "Do you still remember the name of the founder of your Yunhe Mountain sect?"

This question caused Yan Zhengchu to pause slightly.

Something's fishy.

Why would you ask him the name of his ancestor out of the blue?

"How dare you! You dare ask the name of our patriarch!"

Yan Zhengchu was displeased, and all sorts of exorcism spells and incantations came out.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qingshuang suddenly said, "I have met your ancestor."

"..."

Yan Zhengchu couldn't tell for a moment whether the other person was insulting him or had actually seen him before...

"A hundred years ago, he suppressed a pair of evil spirits in Yanshan..."

Yanshan? Evil spirits?

Yan Zhengchu suddenly understood.

My master once told me that our patriarch became famous because he subdued the evil spirit of Yanshan.

He involuntarily took a step back.

Are you kidding me? This level of evil spirit is something a novice Taoist priest like him could encounter?

But the next second, Yan Zhengchu realized something was wrong.

"You're not going to say that you're one of those evil spirits from Yanshan, are you?"

"If that were really the case, would I still be alive today?"

"You're clearly lying to me!"

Bai Qingshuang was a little annoyed that the young Taoist priest didn't believe her.

If it were a hundred years ago, crushing him would have been as easy as crushing an ant.

However, after being suppressed in Yanshan for a hundred years, his soul power dissipated, and he was no longer the same as before.

She didn't want to live that kind of life again, stealing food from the spirits of the underworld...

It's good as it is now, but it's not enough.

Therefore, she had to accomplish something!

As the two demons fought fiercely in the North Garden, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently, as if something was about to burst forth from the earth.

Bai Qingshuang's expression changed slightly. With a wave of her long sleeves, the door next to her opened wide, and she immediately transformed into smoke and slipped inside.

Upon seeing this, Yan Zhengchu also used a tracking talisman to follow closely behind.
