Chapter 171: Asking a Ghost for Help
The Daoist priest remained seated cross-legged on the bed, calmly looking at him.
“It sounds like this isn’t your first offense.” Even his tone was remarkably calm.
“...” The scholar ghost was immediately startled, his entire body trembling. He realized that he had slipped up in his words.
It wasn’t because he was foolish, but the yang energy in the room was burning like fire. His body was rapidly shrinking, and it took all his energy just to endure the pain. He had no capacity left to focus on anything else.
At this moment, he could only stammer, “But it’s my first offense against you, Immortal Master...”
“I see.”
“Please, Immortal Master, spare my life!” The scholar ghost's form continued to shrink rapidly.
At this rate, he would likely dissolve completely in less than a moment, like snow under the noon sun. Seeing this, the scholar ghost dared not harbor any further tricks and pleaded for mercy with all his might. “Spare me, Immortal Master!”
“Don’t worry,” the Daoist priest said, simply waving his sleeve. Instantly, all the solstice spiritual energy and yang energy in the room dissipated.
