Her Jifen  slot is already zero, worthless now. Without Jifen , she can’t exchange for skill cards; she can’t use the Charisma skill. When the Charisma skill fully fails, that’s when the men she manipulated will turn on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if I had become a breeze, a wisp of smoke, a speck of dust—touch me lightly, and I’d vanish completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I was swept again toward the rock wall, I suddenly released my grip and, in a move like diving into the ocean to retrieve the moon, snatched up the Luoyang spade from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was clearly something inside this coffin—otherwise, how could it have made sounds and movements on its own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t decide this matter—we must wait to see the Taoists’ stance,” Ying Zheng said, for this wasn’t an issue of Qin state affairs, but a conflict between the Taoists and the Luo Wang; they had no authority to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then just switch to another one,” Qin Luo replied dismissively, not seeing this as anything significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, Captain—a knight is approaching Kain Village, and he doesn’t seem friendly,” the archer, ever vigilant, warned. Though the man wasn’t strong—he didn’t reach the level to threaten us—and wasn’t targeting us specifically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she didn’t know how long the Third Prince and Xuan Mubai would talk; if she returned and came back again only to find them gone, she’d have to find another opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Xia Yuntong spotted an acquaintance there—they’d met twice before, not often, but certainly not strangers: Jing Baozhu of the Jingyuan Marquis’s household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xian had a plain face, broad shoulders, and a thick waist, like a peasant who labored daily in the fields, yet he carried a chilling aura of killing intent no peasant could ever possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qianlu wandered for a long while before sliding down the slide. The Husky lay on the slide, clumsily following him down, his posture awkward, lacking Li Qianlu’s agility—he crashed with a thud, his face slamming into the slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deliberately displaying his power. What if it had landed right in the center—or worse, on my head? He didn’t dare imagine it, and wouldn’t even think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet two people in the crowd had sensed just how immense the power behind Dagu’s seemingly simple motion truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sudden appearance made Bai Lan’s heart jolt—a strong, ominous premonition crawled up her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the snow intensified; the mountains and forests gradually whitened with frost, and the air grew much colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Qing swung his long sword at the final moment, slaying over a dozen Yulong cavalrymen, but ultimately overwhelmed by numbers, he died with over a dozen bright silver spears piercing his chest and abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Yueyao froze, instinctively touching her face—her skin was smooth and soft, delicate as if it could burst at a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tang Xiao dared not grow careless; as the sect leader of Haotian Sect, he knew full well what its most powerful secret technique was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Bu Fan wasn’t surprised by any of this—the dumb fox already possessed power beyond a ghost’s, considering her sword art and her inexplicable spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The summer sun was bright, almost blinding; Sheng Yan frowned slightly, then slowly opened his eyes, immediately searching for Jian Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s it… so the Canglan Academy and today’s Canglan imperial family aren’t cut from the same cloth. What about the two guaranteed admission slots you mentioned? Why have I never heard of them?” Lin Xiaoyao asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That won’t do!” Wu Liang muttered, then twisted his helmet crookedly with his hands, dismounted, scooped up some mud from the ground, and smeared it on his face—only then did he grin in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingyu’s eyes slowly shifted from surprise to disappointment—if Lu Zhao knew she wasn’t the original, he wouldn’t like her anymore, would he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the dumb fox step out from behind me, take the pudding offered by Qiyu, and eat it with complete indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning’s mother was pulled away by the doctor, struggling to chase after Ning Guochen’s body, which was being carried off to the morgue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhiquing didn’t dodge—she charged resolutely into the storm of lightning, her figure flickering in and out, using the speed boost from her fourth soul skill, Blood Shadow Kill, to pierce through Yu Tianxin’s attack range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Wan said: “The Ministry of Finance also supports you!” Huang Wan’s Ministry of Finance managed state finances and held nationwide fiscal authority—more powerful than Liu Yan’s Minister of the Imperial Household, let alone Lu Zhi’s Minister of the Imperial Stables or Liu Yu’s Minister of the Imperial Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long after, the food was all packed. Zuo Lun was stuffing the recovered money and bills into his pocket, about to push open the door, when suddenly, heavy rain began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the spirit sword wreathed in purple qi was flung away, then shot backward at high speed, finally embedding itself deep into the trunk of a massive tree, thick enough for several men to encircle. The entire process felt utterly smooth—the tree trunk was pierced as if it were tofu, offering no resistance whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Jian landed, and countless array nodes surged upward, reforming into the Golden Crow Flame Array, once again surrounding Zhuang Jian’s figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Dan heard this and was greatly startled, then had his hand shaken off by Xi Er. At that moment, Liu Dan and Dian Wei instantly felt ashamed. Xi Er hadn’t abandoned Liu Fan—he had rushed to Bailao Gate to find a cure for Liu Fan. They had all misunderstood Xi Er. The two exchanged glances, then lowered their heads in deep embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the pilgrims and their disciples all chasing after them, the Cloud Badger King unleashed his full power, leading fifty thousand Badger Beast demons in a flood-like assault, engulfing the pilgrims in a crushing circle of beasts. After repeated bloody battles, each of them was utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he could sense the power emanating from the phantom—it was of the same origin as the power his elder brother, the previous Xuanlang Divine King, had transmitted to him through dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the mermaid’s tear, said to cure all diseases and neutralize every poison, or the legendary mermaid flesh, rumored to grant eternal youth with a single bite—both were immensely tempting. If these were true, then with humanity’s current dominance and the greed of human nobility, wouldn’t they hunt mermaids everywhere?\u003C\u002Fp>",1188,"2026-06-19T18:47:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3d299b6e4f312cf9cd659fa2f7e89e000f4a866ab9c4b2154563ab29a5cc5dcb","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-182","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-180",209,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthere-is-a-malevolent-spirit-cover.jpg"]
