My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 171 Something's Wrong with Him!

"Ho...ho...ho..."

The scholar turned around abruptly, only to see Lin Qingfeng, who was deliberately backlit and bathed in light.

It looks quite eerie, if not for the contrast with the curses outside the light screen.

"Immortal... Immortal Master! Please... please don't frighten me, I'm easily frightened!"

"On another note,"

The scholar, still shaken, pointed to the talisman on the table and asked in confusion,

"Immortal Master, the talismans we're using this time seem a little different from the ones we used before."

He pointed to a character card in his hand.

The painting depicts a woman named "Kayako".

He then pointed to the card in front of Lin Qingfeng, which depicted a white-clad female ghost crawling out of an ancient well, and the card in front of "Sacrifice," which depicted a suspended calligraphy brush.

"Look, yours is 'Sadako,' this spirit master's is 'Ouija Board,' and mine is 'Kayako'... Why are they all spirits this time?"

"Oh, this one."

Lin Qingfeng casually explained,

"We got tired of the previous Three X Kill game, so this is a set of games we created ourselves called 'Yin Spirit Kill' based on the gameplay of the talisman cards, to change things up."

The scholar nodded, his thoughts drifting back to the previous game of cards.

He was still shaken.

He must have had incredible luck that time; he was just incredibly lucky.

The starting hand consists of five cards, including various trick cards such as "Steal a Sheep", "Demolish the Bridge After Crossing the River", and "Forget About Shu".

He watched as the two immortals opposite him looked distressed because of their terrible hands, while he himself was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

This is how to do? !

If I win and displease the two immortals, they might stop protecting me, and I'll be doomed!
So he racked his brains and put on a performance.

He could have easily used "Steal" or "Demolish the Bridge" to remove the immortal's key equipment, but he deliberately used it on unimportant cards in his hand.

When the immortal had only one drop of blood left, he "just happened" to be unable to draw any cards. He dared not play any cards that would cause him to lose blood, for fear that he might accidentally take the immortal away.
Finally, he even went so far as to sacrifice his own blood, enduring several "Southern Barbarian Invasions" and volleys of arrows, before finally managing to make his character the first to die.

After that, the immortal master probably felt that winning was not challenging enough, so he took out this set of "Yinling Killing" and the three of them started playing.

Meanwhile, outside the light screen, the "ho...ho..." sound of bubbles grew louder and louder.

Countless ghostly figures, their bodies twisted and contorted in reverse joint postures, converged from all directions.

They moved silently through the hall, all heading in one direction. Although they didn't glance at the people in the light screen, their eerie voices and strange movements still sent chills down the scholar's spine.

Lin Qingfeng frowned.

"Tsk, these kids are making such a creepy noise, it's kind of disgusting and doesn't really fit the atmosphere of our game. How about we play some tunes to cleanse the air later?"

"Ah? What the immortal says is true!" The scholar quickly nodded in agreement.

Just as he spoke, a female ghost in white who was passing by suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her pale and swollen face turned towards the direction of the light screen.

It tilted its head, its dark eyes seemingly filled with confusion.

But there are some things it doesn't understand.

The female ghost eventually gave up her investigation and continued to slowly depart with the main group.

"Phew..." The scholar broke out in a cold sweat, almost thinking he was going to die. It took him a long time to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to continue playing games with the immortal.

Lin Qingfeng, while playing cards, pondered what kind of tune he should play later.

Within the warm glow of the screen, there was a relaxed card game and casual conversation.

Beyond the light screen, hundreds of vengeful ghosts slowly passed by, their stiff steps accompanied by terrifying howls of "ho...ho...".

"Ho...ho..."

"Ho...ho...ho..."

The grinning little devil had silently appeared behind the mother and child, its pale little hand reaching straight for the child in the woman's arms!
"careful!"

With lightning speed, Su Ling'er transformed the wooden sword, imbued with an eerie aura, into a streak of gray-black light, striking first despite being behind!

"Meow--!"

The little devil let out a shrill cry like a black cat, and its body, struck by the wooden sword, instantly turned into a cloud of black smoke, which was absorbed into the wooden sword!
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, on Su Ling'er's other side, three or four black cats with glowing green eyes quietly darted out of the darkness and let out the same shriek!
It was a feint!

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the black cats and the little devils, in the corner of the cellar, the life-size bronze mirror that everyone had forgotten suddenly rippled like water.

In the mirror, Shen Jiaye's pale, resentful face suddenly appeared!

Her long, jet-black hair seemed to come alive as it surged out of the mirror, wrapping around two undercover disciples who hadn't yet reacted, as well as a panicked mortal in the group, with lightning speed!

"what--!!"

Amidst the three people's shrill screams, the black hair suddenly pulled back, attempting to drag them forcefully into the mirror!
"Don't think about it!"

Wang Xiedi, who was closest to the sword, was furious. He poured all his spiritual power into the wooden sword and roared as he slashed forward with all his might!
The sword flashed fiercely, but it was ultimately a step too late.

It only managed to cut off a few strands of stray hair before the three figures were completely swallowed by the mirror and disappeared.

Wang Xiedi's enraged sword finally struck the ancient bronze mirror squarely!

"clang--!!!!!"

A deafening clang echoed through the cellar!

Immediately afterwards——

"Snap... snap..."

The smooth, water-like surface of the mirror shattered instantly from the point where the sword struck, revealing countless cracks!
Finally, with a crisp pop, the entire bronze mirror shattered and scattered all over the ground with a clattering sound.

at this time.

From the direction of the entrance to the secret passage, a familiar figure was swaying as it walked over.

It's that young peddler who went missing before!

"Looks familiar, who are you?"

Just as a disciple was about to step forward, Su Ling'er stopped him.

"Don't go over there! Something's wrong with him!!!"

Everyone stared intently and saw that the peddler was emanating an aura of death and mortality.

He slowly raised his head, revealing a face that could no longer be called a "face".

His lower half of his face, including his chin, had been completely eaten away by something, leaving only a bloody, mangled cross-section and bare white bones, covered in thick saliva.

"Ho...ho..."

Suddenly, his body twisted at an odd angle with his joints reversed, and he pounced on all fours at an extremely fast speed toward the mother and child who were already terrified!
