Chapter 59: A Celestial Omen
The group hurried toward the source of the scream.
They hadn’t gone a hundred meters before spotting another team of examinees — surrounded by a swarm of ghosts, barely holding behind a battered barrier. The shield was cracked and trembling, ready to shatter any moment. Among the ghosts stood a pitch-black vengeful spirit, clearly controlling the mob.
Everyone froze for half a beat — the scene was nearly identical to what they had just faced. Yet this group was so close, and they hadn’t sensed a thing earlier.
Seeing the barrier about to fail, Tang Chen reacted first. He yanked out a Blazing Flame Talisman and flung it.
A burst of crimson fire erupted, instantly consuming a large swath of ghosts and halting their advance.
“Hurry — capture the souls!” Tang Chen barked.
Snapping out of their daze, Old Bai and the rest began throwing their ghost-catching charms, sealing the scattered shades.
But the vengeful spirit shrieked, rallying its minions and sending a fresh wave surging toward them.
Their hearts sank — this was an even bigger horde than before. They had no choice but to pull weapons and charms, fighting seriously this time.
