On the third floor of the restaurant, after I destroyed the two evil spirits, the entire space suddenly twisted. I saw the eerie aura that had been floating above the restaurant's ceiling suddenly rush into the third floor, heading straight for my head.
The moment I saw the eerie aura approaching, an unsettling premonition surged within me. Instinctively, I tried to step back, but I found that under the pressure of the eerie aura, no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't move more than a few inches.
As the eerie aura came within arm's reach, fear gripped my heart. "What the hell is this? Am I being ambushed?"
Just as my words fell, the entire eerie aura surged into my head. Inside it, I sensed a powerful force, but it was a power that only a ghostly being could control.
Once the eerie aura rushed into my body, a sharp pain shot through my head. I quickly clutched my skull and crouched down in agony, rolling on the ground.
"Woof Woof~~" At that moment, a bark echoed from within me. The previously slumbering Dog Treasure suddenly opened its eyes and pulled out a white mask from my chest, swiftly placing it on my head.
With Dog Treasure and the Soul Mask appearing, they began to frantically devour the eerie aura in my mind, alleviating some of the tearing pain. Although my head still throbbed painfully, it was bearable.
On the second floor of the restaurant, the female ghost watched as Liu Zhenxian left. She didn't pursue him because she knew her strength was limited and she couldn't interfere in the fight between Liu Zhenxian and his opponent. So she chose to stay behind.
The female ghost glanced at Hu Yalong and his companions standing by the balcony. A smile appeared on her face as she asked, "Are you three the ones I'm supposed to take away? Just wait a moment; I'll come to rescue you soon."
With that, the female ghost approached Hu Yalong and his group. After a while, all the ropes binding them were untied. The female ghost led them toward the third floor of the restaurant to join me.
However, upon seeing me writhing in pain on the ground, their expressions turned worried.
Hu Yalong anxiously walked over to my side. He tightly grasped my hands and shouted, "Jiang Ling, you can't die! We four brothers can't lose anyone; you have to hold on!"
Lan Yue followed closely behind. Although he usually wasn't very talkative, he took the initiative to squat beside me, grabbing my arm just like Hu Yalong did. This small detail revealed that Lan Yue's nature wasn't as bad as it seemed.
The only one who didn't come over was Li Hongze. From the very beginning, he had quietly stood in the corner, never speaking to Hu Yalong and the others. This was somewhat unusual for Li Hongze, who typically enjoyed gossiping in front of them.
At first, Hu Yalong and the others thought Li Hongze might have been startled by the sudden appearance of the Ghostly Being, so they didn't pay much attention. However, now Li Hongze was looking at me with cold eyes, as if he didn't recognize me at all.
"Heh, this Stinky Taoist actually dares to compete with me for something. He might as well just die," Li Hongze thought to himself as he pulled out a Folding Knife from his pocket and quickly approached me.
On the other side, after Hu Yalong and Lan Yue grabbed my arm, the Eerie Aura within me unexpectedly flowed through their hands and into their bodies.
"Ah! What is this? Why is my body so hot? I feel a bit swollen and painful; I hope I won't explode!" Lan Yue said with a pained expression. Since he hadn't activated his Wisdom Eye and had no magical power within him, when he first came into contact with the Eerie Aura, it felt like something was poking him, making him very uncomfortable.
"Wow, is this the Cultivation magic I've always dreamed of? This is amazing!" Hu Yalong exclaimed with a look of enjoyment. Having activated his Wisdom Eye before, he had some foundational understanding of magic. Now that the Eerie Aura surged into his body, it instantly made him feel the presence of Daoist Magic within his Dantian. At that moment, Hu Yalong truly felt like he had entered the realm of cultivation.
Unable to endure the pain within him any longer, Lan Yue released his grip and looked enviously at Hu Yalong. However, he quickly shook his head and turned to look around. Suddenly frowning, he said, "Huh? Where did Li Hongze go? What is he up to?"
Worried about Li Hongze's situation, Lan Yue stood up and quickly searched for him. Just a few steps later, he spotted Li Hongze fighting with the female ghost in an empty room.
Lan Yue's brows furrowed tightly as he rubbed his chin in confusion and muttered to himself, "How strange; why are Li Hongze and that ghost fighting? I need to go intervene before someone gets hurt."
In fact, when Li Hongze was about to sneak attack me earlier, the female ghost had noticed his intentions and desperately blocked his path, leading him into an empty room nearby.
At this moment, Lan Yue stepped between them and pulled Li Hongze back. "Li Hongze, stop! This female ghost is one of us; you both need to stop fighting."
"Hey, who are you! What gives you the right to act all high and mighty in front of me? Get lost, or I might just kill you," Li Hongze said darkly, a wicked smile spreading across his face, sending chills down Lan Yue's spine.
"Lan Yue, there's something off about this person. He was about to ambush you all, and I stopped him; otherwise, you would have been killed by him already." The female ghost pointed at the sharp Folding Knife in Li Hongze's hand. Following her gesture, Lan Yue glanced over and began to believe her words, recalling that Li Hongze was left-handed, yet he was now holding the Folding Knife in his right hand.
Fear filled Lan Yue's eyes as he took a few steps back and shouted, "You're not Li Hongze! Who are you really?"
