Chapter 58: Shadows Everywhere

The wandering shade suddenly reacted — its empty eyes turned blood-red as it shrieked and lunged toward them, claws slashing.
Shao Xian quickly chanted a binding curse, freezing the spirit midair while drawing his peachwood sword and charging forward. The old man tossed a ghost-capturing talisman — with a hiss the transparent figure dissolved into smoke and was sucked neatly into the charm.
“Girl, one lone ghost — taken care of!”
The old man’s fear vanished; he held the talisman aloft, looking rather smug.
Yun Jiao frowned faintly.
“Wasn’t… that a little too easy?”
The ghosts she’d seen before hadn’t been this fragile.
“Those were vengeful spirits. This is just a wandering soul — not the same thing.”
