Chapter 256 Only ghosts can kill ghosts
Yang He’s idea is a bit far-fetched, but it is still quite feasible.

He picked up the receiver of the phone and immediately a childish voice came from the other end, sounding like a boy of no more than seven or eight years old.

"Father, you finally found me. I am Yang...Jiulang."

"Yang Jiulang, where do you usually appear?"

"There are thirty-six telephone booths. Father, you just need to walk into one of them and Jiulang can take you to telephone booths all over the city."

Yang Jiulang seemed extremely excited and began to speak incoherently.

"Yang Jiulang, I want to ask you a question."

"Father, tell me."

"........."

Yang He whispered a few words and hung up the phone, having received a satisfactory answer.

He focused his attention on Liu Zhishang, and his spiritual vision showed that there was an evil ghost lurking in the latter's lungs, which was a water ghost.

Liu Zhishang should be good at water magic when he was in the outer sect of Jiejiao.

Yang He's voice surged into the depths of Liu Zhishang's mind, imprinted on his soul and spirits, "Liu Zhishang, only ghosts can kill ghosts."

"Only a ghost can kill a ghost."

Liu Zhishang couldn't help but mutter to himself, and looked at the wooden box belatedly. The iron chain that tied the wooden box had broken at some point.

Through several cracks, one can notice the incorruptible poisonous people placed inside.

Liu Zhishang heard the heavy breathing of the poisonous man.

He...is already alive!!!
There is no record of any poisonous person being corrupted in the official records. Liu Zhishang only knows that this thing can exorcise ghosts to a certain extent.

"Are non-corrupted poisonous people also ghosts? Is there no hope for Shi Jue City?"

The ghost face gradually separated from the ground and the wall, and then the outlines of limbs and torso appeared. Countless ghost shadows were descending into the world.

Liu Zhishang was at a loss for a moment and watched the ghosts gather around him.

Jingle Bell.

He suddenly discovered that there was a telephone on the altar. The sound was extremely rapid and shrill, but it also made the ghost in the house pause.

"Only a ghost can kill a ghost."

Liu Zhishang repeated it again, with a hint of determination between his brows.

He knelt at Yang He's feet and banged his head hard against the altar. The blood dyed the incense and candles red, and also stimulated the ghost to become restless.

"Immortal... Immortal, do you know how to get rid of the ghost realm?"

"Shijue City is about to fall. Ghosts are now appearing during the day. The number of ghost areas is increasing, even doubling every day!"

"Millions of people in the city are destroyed. How on earth are we supposed to protect ourselves?!"

Liu Zhishang felt dizzy, which was a sign of excessive blood loss.

He was on the verge of insanity because he could not bear the imminent fall of Shijue City, and seeing Yang He was like grasping a life-saving straw.

Liu Zhishang was disappointed that Yang He did not respond at all.

The phone kept ringing, but it could no longer scare the ghost.

Liu Zhishang was shaking uncontrollably. A ghost shadow had entered his body and was frantically gnawing at his flesh and bones. His yang fire was gradually extinguished.

That's not all that frightened him the most.

A faint light came on in the freight elevator against the wall not far away. The elevator descended to the ground floor of the building, and after the door opened, it seemed that someone walked in.

"He...why did they come? I clearly told them to go home!"

Liu Zhishang knew that there must be several detectives following him in the freight elevator, and they would become food for the ghost next.

Even the previous arrangements will inevitably be in vain because the sealing of the floor will be broken.

"Only a ghost can kill a ghost."

He thought of the somewhat inexplicable words again, and stared at the phone with his eyes possessed by a mysterious force, his heart seeming to jump out of his throat.

Liu Zhishang endured the severe pain and picked up the phone, his arms were already covered with corpse spots.

After hesitating for a few breaths, he put the receiver to his ear. First there was a harsh and disordered noise, followed by a hoarse and dying whisper.

It seemed as if the person on the other side of the receiver was another dying self.

Another self said: "I am Liu Zhishang, and I will die from the resurrection of the evil ghost."

Liu Zhishang was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but dry heave, and a large amount of river water mixed with a few water plants came out of his stomach.

The ghosts inside the body screamed in fear and tried to leave in a hurry.

Liu Zhishang opened his mouth wide and made a strange sound similar to that of a frog. In an instant, the ghost shadow became weak as if it had suffered a serious blow.

A few ghost shadows were not careful and fell into the water on the ground.

I was trapped inside and couldn't get out.

Liu Zhishang came back to his senses and stared at his palms in confusion.

Not only did it grow scales, but there was also a thin membrane between the five fingers. Then I touched the neck and found that the structure of fish gills was opening and closing.

"Water ghost?"

Liu Zhishang realized that the source of his power came from a water ghost, but he had no idea why it was a water ghost or where the water ghost came from.

In fact, the water ghost is exactly the Taoist tradition that Liu Zhishang once practiced in Jiejiao.

Yang He recalled that although the ten sons of the Yang family could not help Liu Zhishang recover his memory, they could help them use magic, just like Feng Xuan who was imprisoned in the ward at that time.

However, they will have the disadvantage of becoming one with humans and ghosts.

There was a knock on the freight elevator, and the eyeworm stopped at the door, blocking the other detectives from entering the fourth floor.

Liu Zhishang looked back, only to see that the wooden box had been torn into pieces. Yang He was standing in the shadow with a smile on his face, with eye bugs flying around him.

"Immortal, I..."

"Liu Zhishang, you controlled the water ghost in your body and revived successfully." "So... it was revived." Liu Zhishang carefully felt the Yin energy. As long as he controlled the water ghost, the ghost domain of Lishi Building would be vulnerable.

"That's right, only ghosts can kill ghosts."

He showed no remorse at all, even though he had already developed inhuman characteristics.

But at least there is a glimmer of hope for preserving the Shijue City.

"Liu Zhishang, you are born with a water ghost. You can become a constable because you have a ghost in your body. There are also many ghost masters hidden in the city, and they can all be revived."

Liu Zhishang suddenly realized and attributed everything to Yang He.

"My Immortal, how can I successfully revive others?"

"Telephone booth, Ping An Hospital, Mirror Shop, Xiangshan Academy."

The place mentioned by Yang He was naturally his four sons. They were the only ones who possessed similar abilities. Liu Zhishang used the phone to retrieve his magical powers and would be controlled by Yang Jiulang in disguise.

His plan was... to drive out the wolves and devour the tigers, and use the monks of the two sects trapped in the Ten Absolute Formations to erode the territories of the Ten Heavenly Lords in the formation.

The remaining consciousness of Yao Tianjun turned into Grandma Yue in the tea garden.

If the ghost realm of the ten sons of the Yang family swallows up the tea garden, does it mean that the throne conferred by the ten heavenly kings is likely to fall on the heads of the ten sons?

Yang He was confident that he could turn the tables.

"The ten sons of the Yang family are evil spirits after all. Their intelligence is too dull. They need a group of ghosts to help them in order to conquer cities in the Ten Absolute Formation."

"Well, I also need the Ten Absolute Formation to remain stable for a long time."

The pupil between Yang He's eyebrows opened wide, and a faint light flickered in the dark night. Ordinary people could not detect it at all, and only those with spiritual vision could get a glimpse of it.

The faint light was the battle between the immortals of the two sects, which lasted for a moment and then stopped abruptly.

Since Yang He is extremely reliable, the Chan Sect even has the upper hand, causing the Twelve Golden Immortals to focus on testing Zhao Gongming.

The Ghostly Formation will most likely continue for ten expansions.

"Immortal." Liu Zhishang covered his chest and asked, "I feel... resurrection is far from being able to bring out the strength of a water ghost. Can it be resurrected a second time, or even a third or fourth time?"

Yang He's thoughts were interrupted and his pupils trembled.

"hiss……"

He just mentioned the word resuscitation casually, and suddenly realized it.

Isn’t the unity of man and ghost the revival that the monks of later generations rely on?
However, there is no endless hell, and the integration of humans and ghosts achieved through the ten sons of the Yang family is actually a shortcut, as there is no symbiosis between humans and ghosts.

Is it the history that I created?

wrong.

Yang He suppressed his distracting thoughts. The pursuit of the unity of man and ghost by monks in later generations was an inevitability caused by the endless hell. As long as monks continued to exist, sooner or later someone would try to abandon organ resuscitation.

Even if you kill the source of the creation of the method, it will not change future generations.

Besides, the Ten Absolute Formations are fake.

Liu Zhishang has been severely affected by the magic circle and it is impossible for him to recover his memory. When the Ten Absolute Formation is destroyed, his memory will be erased as well.

"Liu Zhishang, you can follow your heart and explore the secrets of revival, but remember to be careful of backlash and don't expose my existence."

Yang He cannot intervene too much, lest the two sects realize that the ten Yang sons stole the peaches. Although he seems to have jumped out of the chessboard, he is facing an immortal after all, and they all have the power to overturn the chessboard.

“Immortal, Liu Zhishang understands.”

Liu Zhishang fell to his knees, the madness in his eyes gone.

Yang He did not continue to waste time, and even did not get rid of the ghost domain that had just formed in the Lishi Building. He twisted the plague Taoist's head hard.

[Your character "Plague Man" has died, and the role-playing story ends]

Ding dong.

The freight elevator finally opened.

The eight people trapped inside were still in shock, but only Du Chang knew that it was Yang He's doing.

“No matter what Master Wen’s purpose is, this may be his only chance of survival. Even if he has not become an immortal, the methods of the second generation disciples are far beyond the ordinary.”

Du Chang supported his companion whose legs were weak, and the scene he saw made his scalp tingle.

Liu Zhishang stood in the center of the fourth floor, mucus oozing from his skin. A layer of water stains accumulated on the ground, and dozens of ghost shadows were trapped inside.

Where is Master Wen?

The headless body was placed in the corner, and the head was missing.

The detectives were a little at a loss. In just a short moment, Liu Zhishang seemed to have become a different person. His every move was full of sharpness, and his appearance became...neither human nor ghost.

Liu Zhishang bowed respectfully towards the headless corpse.

"Do you believe me? I have found a way to eliminate the ghost realm. At the same time, we can master the magic method to deal with ghosts."

"Liu Tou'er, are you... possessed by a ghost? While you still have your sanity, we will take you back to the government office to soak you in the magic water!"

"I won't force you. You can leave anytime you want."

The detectives showed fear on their faces, but no one backed down. After seeing the ghost realm ravaging the Ten Deadly Cities, they were all going crazy.

Liu Zhishang nodded slightly and placed the phone on the altar.

Jingle Bell.

The phone kept shaking.

Liu Zhishang said softly: "Who of you will go first?"

“Liu Tou’er, this doesn’t feel like magic, it feels like… like…”

"Does it matter? Only a ghost can kill a ghost."

In the early morning light, a group of eight people walked out of the Lishi Building.

The cordon in front of the door was removed for the first time.
