Chapter 271: Possessed by an Evil Ghost

The dark night was silent.

Yang Wenfang, naked and with her long hair disheveled, walked out from the back door without a sound.

In the pitch-black alley, she suddenly let out a hair-raising laugh.

Bai Qingtong, who was following behind, felt a sudden chill run down her spine.

At this moment, Yang Wenfang suddenly stopped, slowly turned her head, and looked behind her; a smear of fresh blood remained on her parted lips, looking exceptionally ferocious.

Luo Zijun and Bai Qingtong hid behind the door, holding their breath and remaining motionless.

Silence reigned for a long time.

Only then did Yang Wenfang turn her head back and continue walking forward.

Bai Qingtong's face was deathly pale, and just as she was about to continue following, Luo Zijun pulled her back and whispered, "Return to the small courtyard."

Bai Qingtong was taken aback.

While she was still confused, Luo Zijun had already pulled her away and entered the small courtyard where Yang Wenfang lived.

Luo Zijun quickly entered the room, checked around, and then said to her, "You stay here and guard my physical body; I will use Soul Out-of-Body to follow her, otherwise I will be discovered by her."

"Soul Out-of-Body?"

Bai Qingtong looked completely bewildered.

Luo Zijun had no time to explain; he immediately sat cross-legged in the room and urged, "Just stay by my side and guard me, do not touch me, do not leave the room, and wait for my return!"

After saying this, he immediately performed Soul Out-of-Body and flew onto the roof.

While Bai Qingtong was standing by his physical body in a daze, Luo Zijun's soul suddenly stirred up a cold wind on the roof beams, and with a movement of his Soul Power, he used Object Manipulation Technique to move a chair in the corner of the room and placed it behind her.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qingtong's eyes widened immediately.

Because in her line of sight, this chair had floated over on its own!

Luo Zijun did not dare to linger; he immediately passed through the roof and flew at high speed, soon catching up to Yang Wenfang, who had just walked out of the alley.

In the vision of his soul, Yang Wenfang's body was entwined with black Qi, and a black shadow was clearly parasitizing her.

It was indeed a ghost causing trouble!

He immediately followed behind without a sound.

After exiting the alley, Yang Wenfang walked toward the street on the left. Just as she reached a corner, two ragged beggars suddenly rushed out from the corner. One of them stared with wide eyes and said to her, "This... this... I'm not dreaming, am I? This woman isn't wearing any clothes..."

The other one also opened his eyes wide and said, "It doesn't seem like a dream; this girl looks like a fool..."

Yang Wenfang stopped there, looking at him with a vacant gaze.

"This girl is so fair..."

Both old beggars' eyes shone, and they stared at the naked young girl before them, drooling uncontrollably.

"I... I'm hungry..."

Yang Wenfang suddenly spoke and also swallowed her saliva.

The two old beggars looked at each other. One of them hurriedly grabbed her and grinned, "Girl, are you hungry? Come, come, come, we have food over there!"

The other beggar also immediately went up and grabbed her other arm, laughing excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, we have food over there, lots of food, guaranteed to let you eat your fill."

Having said that, the two of them, without further ado, pulled her from left and right into the nearby alley.

The alley was pitch-black and filled with trash.

In the right corner at the very end of the alley, there was a crude little hut.

Outside the hut, it was also piled high with trash.

The two beggars couldn't wait to pull Yang Wenfang into the hut and pounced on her immediately.

Then, two screams suddenly came from inside.

A hand reached out from the hut, but it quickly retracted.

The entire hut began to shake.

But soon, everything became quiet.

Luo Zijun landed on a nearby courtyard wall, his gaze fixed on the entrance of the hut, not entering.

"Crunch... crunch..."

A clear chewing sound came from the hut, which sounded exceptionally hair-raising in the silent night.

Before long, a figure walked out of the hut.

Yang Wenfang's mouth was full of blood, her eyes were scarlet, and her naked body was also covered in blood.

She stood outside for a while with her long hair disheveled, then turned and walked out of the alley.

After she walked out of the alley, Luo Zijun quickly flew to the top of the hut and looked inside. On the floor covered with thatch, the two beggars were already lying there motionless.

Their eyes were wide with terror, their bodies were a bloody mess, and they had been gnawed beyond recognition.

Both of their stomachs had been hollowed out.

Luo Zijun immediately flew into the night sky, exited the alley, and caught up with Yang Wenfang.

After Yang Wenfang left the alley, she began to return the way she came.

Soon, she arrived at the entrance of the Yang Mansion and walked in through the back door.

Luo Zijun immediately passed her, returned to the small courtyard where she lived first, entered the room, and prepared for his soul to return to his body.

In the room, Bai Qingtong was guarding his physical body.

However, at this moment, the sister-in-law was sitting cross-legged in front of him, eyes wide, looking at him with curiosity, and one of her fingers was constantly poking his body.

"Brother-in-law? Brother-in-law?"

She whispered while poking him.

When Luo Zijun's soul returned to his body and he opened his eyes, she was extending her finger, preparing to poke his lower parts.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Zijun grabbed her fingers.

Bai Qingtong was startled, her face instantly turning red as she said, "Bro... Brother-in-law, you're back..."

Luo Zijun said, "Why are you poking me?"

Bai Qingtong said with a blushing face, "I was just curious..."

Luo Zijun let go of her fingers, glared at her, and said, "Poking my body is one thing, but where were you planning to poke just now?"

Bai Qingtong lowered her head in silence, her cheeks burning hot.

"Creak..."

At this moment, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.

Luo Zijun felt a chill in his heart; he immediately stood up, went to the window, and looked out at the small courtyard.

Bai Qingtong also hurriedly got up from the floor, came to his side, and looked outside.

When she saw Yang Wenfang returning with her body naked and her mouth and body covered in blood, she trembled in fear, her face turning pale.

Yang Wenfang entered the small courtyard, walked straight to the well, and began to draw water to wash her body.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qingtong finally understood why her brother-in-law had said there was a bloody smell by the well during the day.

But where did all the blood on her mouth and body come from?

Did she go to eat wild cats again? And did she eat a lot of them?

Just as Bai Qingtong was feeling horrified, Luo Zijun suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Later, when she comes in, circulate your Internal Energy and punch her in the stomach. If she resists, use your full strength and keep hitting her; you can hit anywhere. If she doesn't resist, keep hitting her chest, neck, and forehead, using half of your Internal Energy."

Bai Qingtong nodded, her ear itching and her heart racing; she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, but because they were so close, she accidentally kissed him on the face.

Both of them were stunned.

At this very moment, the sound of light footsteps came from the small courtyard.

Yang Wenfang had finished washing her body and was walking toward the room.

Bai Qingtong's expression changed; she immediately tensed her body, clenched her fists, and began to circulate the Internal Energy within her.

As for Luo Zijun, he silently hid in the corner behind the door.

The footsteps arrived softly at the room's entrance.

Then, with a "creak," the door opened, but Yang Wenfang, who was standing outside, did not enter immediately.

She stopped at the doorway, scarlet light flickering in her pupils as she looked into the room, seemingly sniffing for some scent.

"Boom!"

Who would have thought that at this moment, a fist carrying scorching blood energy would suddenly pierce through the door, then transform into a claw and grab her by the throat!

Yang Wenfang's body jolted, and a look of terror appeared in her scarlet pupils.

She immediately tried to break free, but was violently dragged into the room by that claw and thrown out.

As soon as she landed, Bai Qingtong, who had been hiding in the corner nearby and waiting for the right moment, suddenly acted, landing a heavy "bang" of a punch on her abdomen.

Yang Wenfang's eyes widened abruptly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bai Qingtong punched very quickly, her fist carrying scorching blood energy landing heavy, successive blows on her chest, throat, and forehead!

Yang Wenfang suddenly opened her mouth wide and let out a shrill, miserable scream.

Then, a black shadow was forcibly beaten out of Yang Wenfang's body by these four punches, flying out from between her eyebrows and fleeing in a panic toward the roof!

"Halt!"

At this moment, a thunderous shout suddenly came from the roof!

The black shadow jolted violently and stopped in its tracks, its figure trembling, its scarlet eyes slightly dazed for a moment.

Then, Luo Zijun's soul appeared on the roof beam and landed a punch right on its head.

"Boom!"

The black shadow fell straight down from mid-air.

As soon as it landed, Luo Zijun's soul followed it down and landed another heavy punch on its chest, directly rupturing its body and leaving it limp on the ground.

Luo Zijun immediately returned his soul to his body, then walked over, activated the Soul Power within him, and grabbed it by the throat.

The black shadow twisted its body in terror in his hand, letting out a piercing scream.

At this time, Bai Qingtong, who was nearby, actually saw this black shadow as well.

It was a ghost with a green face and sharp fangs, two horns on its head, and its entire body wreathed in black mist!

It struggled desperately to break free, only to find that the hand gripping its throat was becoming tighter and hotter, while it was becoming increasingly powerless.

Yang Wenfang, off to the side, had already collapsed on the ground, seemingly asleep or unconscious.

Bai Qingtong widened her eyes, looking at the ugly and ferocious monster before her, and said with a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law... what is this..."

"An evil ghost."

Luo Zijun answered briefly, then looked at the evil ghost in his hand and asked, "Why do you harm people?"

The evil ghost glared at him with scarlet eyes full of venomous hatred and did not answer.

Luo Zijun extended his other hand, plunged it into its ruptured chest, and then tore its entire chest right off.

"Sizzle—"

That piece of chest that had been torn off instantly vanished into nothingness in his scorching hot palm.

The evil ghost screamed in pain, its whole body trembling.

Luo Zijun asked again, "Why do you harm people? If you don't answer, I will scatter your soul."

The evil ghost trembled in pain for a while longer, then glared at him with its scarlet eyes and suddenly shrieked, "When her father was an official, he harmed my entire family. Now, I want to make her life worse than death! I want to turn her into a monster that eats people everywhere, make her father's reputation be ruined, and then make her father watch with his own eyes as she eats her own mother, eats everyone in the manor, including himself!"

Bai Qingtong, standing to the side, listened with a trembling body, feeling a chill run through her.

Just as Luo Zijun was about to ask more, the evil ghost violently tore its own neck apart, freeing its entire head; instead of fleeing, it opened its blood-red maw full of fangs and lunged at his face like lightning, screaming, "I want to turn you into a man-eating monster too!"

"Whoosh!"

It drilled directly into Luo Zijun's brow!

"Brother-in-law!"

Bai Qingtong was instantly frightened until her face turned bloodless.

However, the next second, it screamed and fled from Luo Zijun's brow, its entire head engulfed in flames, rapidly melting away.

Not to mention that its body was currently shattered and heavily damaged; even at the peak of its strength, it could only possess the bodies of the old, weak, sick, disabled, or those with weak souls.

"Ah—"

It let out a shrill scream and soon vanished into nothingness.

The remaining pieces of its body were also burned to nothing in Luo Zijun's scorching blood-Qi flames.

Green light flickered in Luo Zijun's pupils as he looked around the room once more; seeing nothing left behind, he withdrew his Soul Power and returned to normal.

At this moment, he clearly felt that his Soul Power had strengthened once again.

Bai Qingtong said with a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law, are you alright?"

Luo Zijun said, "I'm fine. First, carry Miss Yang to the bed; once she wakes up, there are some things I still need to ask her. By the way, don't tell her about tonight's events, and don't tell anyone else either."

Bai Qingtong agreed, and together with him, they lifted Yang Wenfang onto the bed.

After finishing this, Bai Qingtong couldn't help but ask with a pale face, "Brother-in-law, Wenfang... did she really eat..."

"No."

Luo Zijun interrupted her, looking at the unconscious young girl on the bed, and couldn't help but glance at her stomach, which was distended and bulging.

"Don't overthink it, and don't ask any more questions."

Luo Zijun pulled the quilt from the bed and covered the young girl with it.

If she were to find out, she would likely wish she were dead.
