Chapter 1926: Fortress

He felt that he had been able to plan ahead, having long since laid out an impregnable fortress here.

Now it was finally being put to use; although he felt a bit uncertain, this place still brought some peace to his heart.

"It is indeed impregnable; there is no need to worry about things like nuclear explosions," Chen Yu said with a smile. "But what you are facing now is not the threat of war, but Ximeng's methods."

"She... besides the Werewolf Clan, does she have any other methods?" Qiongsi's heart skipped a beat; this was what he worried about most.

The shock that Ximeng's Werewolf Legion had caused him was simply too great. Now that the Werewolf Clan had suffered heavy losses, they shouldn't be able to make a comeback for a while, right?

Besides the Werewolf Clan, could Ximeng possibly have any other methods?

"Hard to say. Although she is a pawn, her abilities are plain for all to see," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "What if she has other methods?"

Qiongsi was speechless for a moment. He had already been feeling uncertain, and with Chen Yu saying this, he became even more terrified.

This guy was truly afraid of death.

Just at this moment, a series of shouts came from outside the wine cellar, and there were also faint sounds of gunfire.

Qiongsi stood up abruptly, one of his hands trembling. He looked at Chen Yu with some horror, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Look, they've already arrived. Let's go; there's no use being afraid now. Let's go out and take a look." Chen Yu drained the wine in the cup before him in one gulp, then stood up with a chuckle.

"Alright." Although Qiongsi was terrified to the extreme, having Chen Yu with him made him feel much more at ease.

He stood up and walked outside with Chen Yu.

At the entrance of the fortress, a group of bodyguards kept changing their tactics, firing their guns into the air.

One could see several translucent white shadows wandering continuously in mid-air.

Guns were ineffective against them; the bullets could only pass through their bodies, but could not cause them any substantial damage.

Whoosh... A shadow struck one of the bodyguards at an extremely fast speed.

That bodyguard's body was thrown high into the air, then landed heavily on the ground. His body was instantly frozen into an ice block, and when it hit the ground, it shattered into pieces with a crash.

The bodyguard captain shouted, "Watch for cover, don't let the enemy possess you, fire!"

As he spoke, those several white mists began to move. They gradually condensed, then suddenly dispersed, whistling through the air. Every time they swept past someone, that person would fall down.

"What are these things?" Qiongsi gritted his teeth and said, "Where did Ximeng get so many bizarre things?"

"These are ghosts... but they don't look like pure ghosts." Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. "Is this the kind of experiment they do in her biological laboratory?"

"Ghosts? Biological laboratory?" Qiongsi understood instantly. He roared, "Yes, they have a Ghost Project in their laboratory, and that's what they were working on... I didn't expect the laboratory to have successfully developed them, and to be able to use them to launch an assassination against me."

Watching the group of ghosts whistling up, accompanied by screams, several more bodyguards fell to the ground and shattered into broken ice.

"Retreat, retreat quickly," Qiongsi roared.

These bodyguards could die at the hands of the enemy, but they absolutely could not die inexplicably at the hands of these neither-human-nor-ghost things here.

"It's useless. The greatest advantage of a Spirit Body is passing through walls," Chen Yu shook his head. "Even if you retreat now, it won't have any effect."

"Then what should we do?" Qiongsi was startled.

That's right, this thing could pass through any wall.

Even if they retreated to the interior, what use would it be? These things could easily pass through any place.

"It seems I have to make a move after all." Chen Yu shook his head helplessly.

He beckoned with his right hand, and Lichen was in his hand. With a deep shout, the Lichen in his hand swept through the air.

Whoosh, Primordial Qi scattered outward, forming ripples in mid-air.

These ghosts in mid-air seemed to sense a threat; they gathered together and launched an attack on Chen Yu.

"They still have consciousness?" Chen Yu looked at the ghosts in mid-air, his brows tightly locked.

It seems these ghosts are being controlled, and they can still retain the consciousness they had while alive, knowing that gathering together makes their power stronger.

However, no matter how strong they were, these things were no match for Chen Yu. In Chen Yu's view, they were nothing more than some new types of objects that had come out of a laboratory.

A scorching, dazzling light erupted from Lichen, and then this light suddenly dispersed.

Accompanied by a series of shrill screams, the entire ghost team suddenly turned into a pile of ashes, dancing in the air like fireworks, then slowly falling to the ground.

"It really takes Mr. Chen to make a move." Qiongsi finally let out a long breath. If Chen Yu hadn't been here, he probably would have fallen here during this wave of ghost attacks.

"There's one more over there." A bodyguard looked at the corner in terror.

One could see in a corner of the room, a thin mass of gas curled up in the corner, shivering.

It was different from the batch of ghosts that had been crazily hunting the bodyguards earlier; it seemed very weak and timid.

All the bodyguards became alert, but Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to be nervous, I know her, she has no power to harm."

The bodyguards then put away their guns. Although they knew guns were useless against this thing, holding them in their hands still gave them a trace of comfort.

Chen Yu walked slowly to the corner, looked at that ghost, and said in confusion, "We seem to know each other; you give me a very familiar feeling."

Seeing Chen Yu come over, this mass of gas became a little bolder.

She stood before Chen Yu, emitting a series of strange sounds, as if she were talking to Chen Yu, and as if she were recounting her own tragic experience.

"Are you Moli?" Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. Although he had been mentally prepared when he saw her, he was still slightly startled after confirming her identity.

The mist nodded slightly and said something else to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took out a Talisman Paper, condensed his Primordial Qi, and the Paper Talisman began to burn.

A ball of fire engulfed the white gas, and then, as a burst of black mist dissipated, the shadow had transformed into a human shape.

This was the translucent Moli. She was now in a ghost state, and after returning to human form, she appeared somewhat lost and helpless.

When she saw Chen Yu, her expression was slightly stunned, and then she reached out her hand, wanting to grab Chen Yu, but her hand passed through Chen Yu's body; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't grab him.

She had no choice but to stand on the spot and sob softly.

But she was currently in a Spirit Body state, so no matter how much she sobbed, no tears flowed from her eyes.
