Chapter 26

t

As Xugui tried to escape, a black beam of light moved straight towards him and pierced through his body .

He groaned with pain, his right hand shook, and he fell on the other side of the wall . Right away, Xugui knew he had been lucky .

Mu Yi quickly chased him and jumped on top of the wall, but when he looked on the other side, there was nobody to be found . There was just some blood on the ground . Mu Yi looked furious .

The old Taoist Priest had taught him to always kill an enemy, especially if he was injured; otherwise, his counterattack would be even more terrifying . Xugui wasn’t going to let him off after everything . Now, Mu Yi could only count on Su Chongshan for help .

As Mu Yi was thinking of a solution, the door of the courtyard opened by itself . Su Chongshan entered with two other people .

One of them was the messenger, and the other one was a tall and sturdy person with a big bow . He was clearly the one who had shot the arrow a moment before .

Even though he didn’t look bloodthirsty, Mu Yi knew that the person was dangerous .

If Mu Yi fought against him, he’d die in the blink of an eye .

Of course, against ghosts, that guy couldn’t do anything .

As Su Chongshan and the two men came in, Nian Nuer and her mother were already back in the bamboo forest . Su Chongshan just saw a shadow flicker .

Nian Nuer had tried to stop Xugui, but she didn’t want the enemy to use his flag because she could get injured by it . She was furious that he had left though .

“You are excellent, Taoist priest . I’m impressed,” Su Chongshan said while looking at Mu Yi .

Actually, Mu Yi and Su Chongshan had already agreed on a plan . The third solution was that if Mu Yi failed, then Su Chongshan would send strong fighters to continue the battle .

Therefore, after the beginning of the big battle, Su Chongshan had brought these two guards . They were in charge of killing Xugui .

When Mu Yi got involved and threw the five thunders charm, they also saw it . They were shocked as the five thunders charm was truly incredible .

Besides, after Mu Yi had thrown a white ball at some point, they had also seen Nian Nuer and her mother, surprising them .

When Su Chongshan told them the plan, they didn’t really have hope, but they were wrong .

They looked at Mu Yi in a respectful way . They were strong enough that they could kill someone like Mu Yi many times over at this point . He didn’t have any more five thunders charms after all . Even though he had a few evil spirit slaying charms, he couldn’t compete with them .

Even the archer could kill Mu Yi from a distance .

“You’re joking . I’m angry at myself because the Taoist priest escaped” Mu Yi said while shaking his head . Thanks to that battle, he now understood how to fight against someone who had a similar level of power .

He was convinced the same thing was going to happen again .

“Don’t worry . He was struck by an arrow . Even if he’s lucky and doesn’t die, he won’t be able to go too far . I’ve already given the guards the order to monitor all exits . He’s stuck here,” Su Chongshan said confidently .

In terms of ghosts, he didn’t know anything, but he certainly knew how to deal with humans . They were much easier . Also, Xugui was already injured . He couldn’t use his full strength to fight anymore . The guards he had sent to capture him were elite guards .

Even though the situation was bad, it was also an opportunity for the guards to practice .

The Su Clan had existed for a very long time . Even though it looked small, it didn’t necessarily mean that it had no hidden power .

“I hope so,” Mu Yi said while nodding . He wasn’t as confident as Su Chongshan . He didn’t know why, but he had a bad premonition . He had the feeling that Xugui wouldn’t get caught that easily . He certainly had a way to escape .

But as Su Chongshan had said, Xugui was already injured, and Mu Yi was just being paranoid . Besides, Mu Yi would be a lot stronger by the time Xugui managed to recover and come back for revenge in the case where he did manage to escape .

Mu Yi then looked at the broken flag on the ground .

After being broken in two, the flag had returned to its normal hand-sized appearance . Unfortunately, it was still in two pieces .

Mu Yi had seen how powerful the flag was, and it could even oppress Nian Nuer . Now that he didn’t have the five thunders charm, he needed good materials .

With Mu Yi’s current amount of wealth, he wouldn’t give up such a good item .

Therefore, he didn’t pay attention to Su Chongshan as he picked up the flag and put it in his bag .

Su Chongshan said nothing . Mu Yi deserved that item, and he had fought for it . Besides, Su Chongshan didn’t need it . He was just worried about the ghosts in the forest .

He didn’t know they were there, and he never came back because it made him sad . It was also the reason he had sealed the area . He had never thought that his daughter and granddaughter would turn into ghosts and stay here the entire time .

He felt extremely guilty and sad . If he had known that before, he wouldn’t have let them stay in here for thirty years . He would have come to see them . After all, they were members of his family even if they were ghosts .

“Taoist priest, I have a request,” Su Chongshan said to Mu Yi .

“You want to see Nian Nuer and her mother?” Mu Yi asked . He knew what Su Chongshan was thinking and .

“Indeed . Please help me,” Su Chongshan said while bowing .

“Alright, wait here . I can’t decide for them whether they want to see you or not though,” Mu Yi said . Su Chongshan was speaking in an earnest tone . He watched as Mu Yi entered the forest . Mu Yi was also curious about the bamboo forest .
