Having experienced possessing the Empress and Su Qing'er, Ye Qingge had witnessed countless grand scenes. She quickly realized something was wrong, bit her tongue sharply to clear her mind, and used the Primordial Breathing Technique to adjust her state of mind.

The Hongmeng Breathing Technique was extremely effective; within a few breaths, Ye Qingge felt her consciousness rapidly calming down.

Seemingly sensing this, the knocking became more frequent, originating from the main door. Gradually, the knocking turned into pounding, causing the entire door to shake violently, as if it were about to be broken down at any moment. Starting from the main door, the knocking moved to the kitchen door, then Ye Qingge's bedroom door, until finally, her sister's door was slammed shut, followed by a frenzied, violent pounding sound like a storm.

It was as if that eerie being was already right in front of him.

Ye Qingge suddenly opened her eyes. She had completely calmed down and looked at the scene before her. Her tone was indifferent as she said, "This place is exactly the same as the home I remember, but upon closer inspection, there are too many flaws. It's too clean here; there's no sign that anyone has ever lived here. I know my sister's habits. Things here shouldn't be this tidy, and..."

"In conclusion, what I am seeing now is undoubtedly an illusion!"

She hadn't realized that her consciousness had been affected until she calmed down and observed the details, at which point she discovered the flaw.

Ye Qingge's tone was firmer than ever before when she spoke the last sentence, and the knocking stopped abruptly. The next moment, Ye Qingge felt her heart clench violently, as if someone had grabbed it hard, and a loud buzzing sound filled her ears.

The energy that had been swirling within her body rapidly contracted, and a mysterious will was rising within her, absorbing her energy inward and quickly condensing and transforming it, fighting against the discomfort within her body.

This invisible struggle ultimately ended in Ye Qingge's victory. Countless energies converged, finally condensing into a wisp of spiritual energy. All the essence, energy, and spirit in her body gathered at a single point, transforming into a ray of spiritual light, thus creating a divine being within her. It was this condensation of spiritual energy and light that completely shattered the discomfort within her body. The scene before her suddenly distorted, eventually turning into darkness and disappearing completely.

"call……"

She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still sitting cross-legged on the bed, her back soaked with cold sweat. The events of just now seemed like a dream, as if they had never happened.

The clock by the bed showed 2:20 p.m., the time when the sun was at its brightest. The warm sunlight streaming in through the window made Ye Qingge feel cozy and warm, completely dispelling the cold feeling she had experienced earlier.

bang bang

Another knock on the door pulled Ye Qingge back to reality. She glanced at her personal panel.

[Cultivation Level: First Level of Divine Awakening]

"Just as I expected, everything that just happened was nothing but an illusion. Judging from the current situation, I must have encountered the ghost that Kong Simeng mentioned!"

"This vengeful spirit seems to be good at creating illusions. Fortunately, when my possession ended, my cultivation had reached the peak of meditation, only one step away from divine awakening. The illusion not only failed to trap me, but instead turned misfortune into blessing, allowing me to break through the final bottleneck and enter the realm of divine awakening! My body has truly condensed spiritual energy and the inner spirit required for the realm of divine awakening. It just so happens that I haven't tested the effects of my Five Elements Divine Power yet, so let me see what you really are!"

On her personal panel, the Five Elements Divine Powers were still at the beginner level, but her Fire Element Divine Power had already reached the minor completion level. The beginner level was just the result of averaging out the other four.

She exchanged for a pill to increase her spiritual energy on the system panel and took it. She then activated the Soul Devouring Technique to the fullest extent to increase her spiritual energy. When she felt that she had enough, Ye Qingge got off the bed and opened the door to the room without any hesitation.

Chapter 22 Confronting Evil

The door to the room opened with a crisp sound, but there was no one behind it. Sunlight streamed in from the balcony opposite the living room, bathing it in a warm glow, completely unlike the gloomy and deathly atmosphere of the illusion.

It was as if... nothing had ever happened.

Ye Qingge was not fooled by appearances. She took a deep breath, focused her mind, and activated the spirit she had just condensed within her body. She skillfully manipulated a wisp of spiritual power to cover her eyes.

The inner spirit is a special existence, a point of spiritual light condensed from the essence, energy, and spirit of the entire body. It is similar to spiritual power or the mind's eye, yet different. It is like an indescribable state, greatly enhancing the ability to perceive the surroundings and observe things that were previously invisible to the naked eye. Under the interaction of spiritual power and the inner spirit, the world before one's eyes underwent a significant change.

Wisps of lingering yin energy remained in the living room. There were many traces left in the large living room, which were the remnants of yin spirits passing by. Unless one has reached a certain level of cultivation, it is impossible to erase them.

Ye Qingge glanced at it briefly and saw the origin of these yin energies, which appeared on the three god statues.

"The spirits originated from the statues of the three gods. Aren't the three gods supposed to have protected the ancestors of Ningcheng in history? That's why the people of Ningcheng have always worshipped them as gods... It seems that these histories are not credible."

Shaking her head, Ye Qingge followed the origin of the yin energy, searching for its final destination.

These yin energy threads moved erratically, as if the ghosts had already explored every corner of Ye Qingge's house, deliberately avoiding the sunlight, and finally ending up in... her own room!

"Could it be that I was wrong, and this ghost has already entered my room, waiting for its chance to strike... The illusion I just witnessed is proof of that!"

Ye Qingge's pupils contracted. In the corner of her vision, she noticed that her door was now shrouded in a dense aura of yin energy, with several handprints particularly prominent. Clearly, the moment she opened the door, a yin spirit had entered her room.

He uttered a low incantation, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm, which he then slapped behind him without hesitation.

At the same time, a dense yin energy rushed towards her from behind, and countless goosebumps suddenly broke out on the back of Ye Qingge's neck. The flame in her hand collided fiercely with the opponent and exploded. A hoarse scream came from the air, and Ye Qingge finally saw the appearance of the attacking yin spirit.

This was a female ghost, but not a human. The ghost was composed of a cloud of black mist, and its features were blurry and difficult to discern. It could only be seen from its silhouette that it was a woman. At this moment, its hands were already behind her neck, as if it wanted to attack from behind and break her neck. However, before it could make a move, it was hit by Ye Qingge's flames.

Ye Qingge's fire elemental divine power had reached a minor level of mastery, and the flames he condensed were no ordinary fire. When they encountered the yin energy of the Yin spirit, they burned even more fiercely. The Yin spirit in front of him suddenly severed a part of its yin energy limbs, barely managing to escape Ye Qingge's flames. Black mist surged around his body as he condensed new limbs while his figure suddenly disappeared into the shadows.

"Still trying to leave?"

Ye Qingge sneered, flames gathered in her hand, and she suddenly grabbed its shoulder.

However, the ghost merged into the shadows faster than she expected. Once inside, it vanished without a trace, becoming impossible to find again.

The spirit within Ye Qingge could only barely sense a peculiar entity escaping her room and arriving in the living room, causing a sudden and unusual change in the entire space.

Just like in the illusion before, the warmth in the living room was gone, and even the sunlight streaming in from the balcony seemed to have lost its heat. The stability of the entire living room suddenly dropped several degrees, becoming cold and lifeless.

stab

The sheer curtains between the living room and the balcony were suddenly pulled shut, the lights in the living room flickered on and off, and the sound of dripping water came from the bathroom, creating an atmosphere as if it were a scene from a horror story or movie.

Ye Qingge remained completely calm as she walked towards the living room.

She silently adjusted her breathing, using the Hongmeng Daoist Breathing Technique to keep her mind in the calmest state, unmoved by external things. She analyzed in her heart: "Judging from the way the Yin Spirit attacked me just now, this Yin Spirit is obviously not strong. It needs to use illusions to confuse me before it can find an opportunity to attack. It might be able to deal with ordinary people, but it is not strong enough to deal with me."

"The Fire Element Divine Power can inflict considerable damage on it, but it's not enough to kill it instantly... Adding the Heavenly Divine Transformation should be enough. The only problem is that this Yin Spirit is extremely good at hiding. I don't have a technique to detect its aura yet, so I can't find its exact location!"

"I only need one chance to attack it and I can kill it instantly!"

bang bang

The knocking sounded from the glass door between the living room and the balcony, pushing the eerie atmosphere of the living room to a new peak. The knocking was extremely rapid, as if there was a villain behind the door. The flickering of the lights increased significantly, and the door behind them was slammed shut. A cold wind blew in from all directions, making one's hair stand on end.

The knocking on the glass door reached its peak and then stopped abruptly. The next moment, it appeared on the bathroom door, and after reaching its peak, it reappeared on the door behind Ye Qingge, as if it were about to repeat the same trick.

However, Ye Qingge's eyes clearly noticed that wisps of yin energy were already heading towards her sister's room.

"You want to target my sister first?"

Ye Qingge's eyes turned cold. She walked to her sister's door, opened it, and went inside.

The room was nothing like the clean and tidy room in the previous illusion; instead, it was full of signs of life. The blankets on the bed were crumpled into a pile and randomly placed to one side, while two slightly worn teddy bears were on the other side. The wardrobe door was half open, revealing several winter school uniforms stored inside.

Ye Wenning, the younger sister, lay on the front of the crystal brain and fell asleep at some point. The crystal brain displayed the Ningcheng Forum page that she had recently browsed.

The female ghost who had attacked Ye Qingge earlier was now standing behind Ye Wenning, her hands outstretched as if she wanted to attack Ye Wenning. Upon seeing Ye Qingge's arrival, a look of panic appeared on her face.

Ye Qingge snorted coldly, revealing her anger. She gathered fire elemental power in both hands and strode forward, intending to unleash a powerful attack.

When the two were less than a meter apart, the blurry features on the woman's ghostly face seemed to be mocking Ye Qingge for being fooled.

The next moment, the ghostly spirits in front of her suddenly dissipated, and the sound of a door closing came from behind Ye Qingge. A thick, eerie wind swept in from behind, clearly indicating that this was a trap, and the real ghostly spirits were waiting for an opportunity to ambush Ye Qingge.

only……

"You want to use the same method twice? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

The anger on Ye Qingge's face vanished without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented calm expression. A divine aura suddenly emanated from her body, and the spiritual energy she had just condensed underwent a strange transformation, turning into an unprecedentedly condensed divine power. Her forward swing paused, and her body suddenly reversed, unleashing force to strike behind her.

God Transformation!

The flames in his hands were imbued with the sacred aura of the Heavenly God Transformation, shrinking in size but increasing in power dramatically. He suddenly struck the female ghost behind him, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack. The female ghost was completely unprepared for this and had no time to dodge, colliding fiercely with Ye Qingge's fire elemental divine power.

A violent burning sound rang out, accompanied by the miserable screams of the ghost. Through his special vision, Ye Qingge could clearly see that the female ghost was much more transparent than before. At this moment, it was no match for Ye Qingge's full-force attack, and its entire body began to dissipate into yin energy inch by inch.

"Is it finally coming to an end?"

Ye Qingge let out a soft breath. The state of the Heavenly God Transformation disappeared, and the little spiritual power that had just been gathered in her body was completely exhausted. She felt an unprecedented sense of weakness and couldn't help but gasp for breath. She could fall at any moment and could only lean against the wardrobe to barely keep standing.

The yin spirit dissipated quickly; in less than two breaths, most of it had dissipated. Just as the remaining half was about to dissipate, a beam of light suddenly struck Ye Qingge. Ye Qingge only had time to block it with her right hand. The light disappeared into the back of her right hand.

The evil spirit of the woman who had invaded the house finally dissipated completely, leaving only a phantom bead floating in place.

"How is this going?"

Ye Qingge felt a chill run down her spine. This was her first time encountering ghosts and spirits, and she had absolutely no experience in dealing with them. She had never expected such a change and had no idea whether it was good or bad.

She stretched out her right hand, but before she could examine it closely, there was another knock at the front door.

"Again?"

Chapter 23 Ningcheng Demon Master

The door lock clicked as Ye Qingge opened the front door and looked outside.

What appeared outside the door was not a ghost, but a girl wearing a light black trench coat. The girl looked to be about the same age as Ye Qingge, but slightly taller. Her beautiful hair was tied into a neat bun.

She seemed to be carrying something on her back, but Ye Qingge couldn't see it clearly due to the angle. The girl's temperament was refined and condensed. She held a compass in her hand and exuded a faint spiritual pressure. She was obviously a cultivator whose cultivation was much stronger than hers.

"you are?"

Ye Qingge was puzzled.

The girl smiled slightly, took out an identification document from her trench coat, and opened it: "Member of the Demon Suppression Division, Yan Ye'an."

"The East City Branch of the Demon Suppression Division just detected a violent fluctuation of Yin energy in your Fengyuan Residential Area. This place was one of the key areas affected. However, the Yin energy fluctuation has dissipated considerably now. Have you left or..."

Ye Qingge said calmly, "I've already taken care of it."

Yan Ye'an looked surprised. She looked Ye Qingge up and down, and when she saw that Ye Qingge was still wearing the No. 3 Middle School uniform, she suddenly realized: "A student from No. 3 Middle School, you have already reached the cultivation level of the Awakening of the Gods... No wonder, you must be a seed student of No. 3 Middle School. I remember that our Senior Feng from the Demon Suppression Division was also a seed student of No. 3 Middle School before."

"Yes."

Ye Qingge nodded. The Senior Feng that Yan Ye'an mentioned was Feng Yumeng, whom she had previously talked to Kong Simeng about. She was a legendary figure at No. 3 Middle School. Before graduating from university, she was recruited by Tai Academy. Her cultivation was extremely powerful. She had joined the Demon Suppression Division during high school and now held a high position in the Demon Suppression Division.

It's important to know that the requirements for joining the Demon Suppression Division were extremely high. There were various restrictions on cultivation level and strength, making it difficult even for children from wealthy families to join. Many of them only had the opportunity to participate in the assessment after graduating from university, let alone high school students from ordinary families.

He was quite well-known in No. 3 Middle School and even in the entire Ningcheng, and could be considered an idol for cultivators outside of No. 1 Middle School. He even had many fans in No. 1 Middle School.

She was puzzled as to why the members of the Demon Suppression Division were bringing this up.

She quickly understood why Yan Ye'an had brought this up.

After chatting with his senior for a while to build rapport, Yan Ye'an smiled and said, "I wonder if Miss Ye would be interested in joining the Demon Suppression Division? Our Demon Suppression Division offers excellent benefits. Young talents like Miss Ye can receive special housing benefits, as well as daily cultivation benefits such as pills and spirit stones."

Ye Qingge's face showed suspicion. She began to doubt whether the girl in front of her was really a member of the Demon Suppression Division.

Yan Ye'an understood her doubts and explained, "The Demon Suppression Division is currently short-handed. Your cultivation level is sufficient, and you have experience in slaying Yin spirits, so your chances of passing the assessment and joining are extremely high."

"I need to think about it some more."

Ye Qingge did not give a direct reply. Although the members of the Demon Suppression Division had good benefits, it was also very dangerous. They had to fight against evil spirits all year round, which was high-risk and high-reward.

With the Xianxia Exchange System, she doesn't need to worry about resources at all. As long as she helps the possessed object solve its difficulties, she will have a continuous stream of resources. Although the housing discounts and monetary benefits are tempting, there is no need to risk her life to join. Once she has enough strength in the future, money will no longer be a problem.

Yan Ye'an looked regretful and handed Ye Qingge a business card: "This is my business card. You can contact me anytime if you need anything. Also, although the evil spirits here have been removed, we still need to conduct a test as usual."

Ye Qingge knowingly stepped aside to let Yan Ye'an enter the house.
