Zhang Mao dragged a long iron chain behind him, which emitted sounds inaudible to the average person with every movement. Seizing Green Ghost followed closely behind him, resembling an officer escorting a prisoner to the Execution Ground.
The return of this Yin Person could only be due to the escort of Monsters and Demons; how could it possibly be Seizing Green Ghost?
This was likely related to Zhang Mao's heavy Evil Energy from his interactions with ghosts, making it impossible for ordinary Monsters and Demons to approach him. Thus, such a powerful spirit had been summoned unusually.
In Taoism, capturing a Seizing Green Ghost is akin to a Western dragon-slaying hero defeating a dragon; it would surely bring fame and recognition.
However, the Seizing Green Ghost was incredibly formidable, and even those skilled in Taoist arts might not be able to subdue it.
At this moment, Wei Ning's heart raced. If it were just a battle against the Seizing Green Ghost, he would have some confidence. But Wei Ning was not here merely to exorcise demons; he needed to ensure that Zhang Mao's soul entered his living body within the Seven Days of Mourning. If time passed without success, Zhang Mao's soul would likely dissipate, resulting in Wei Ning's failure. How could he face the heartbroken Zhang Long and his wife then?
Suddenly, the Rooster King in Wei Ning's arms let out a loud cry and flew away. Wei Ning's heart sank as he thought, "This is bad." He felt regret for being careless and not keeping a close watch on the Rooster King.
The Rooster King flew onto the shoulder of the Seizing Green Ghost and pecked at it. The Seizing Green Ghost shook its green robe and spat out a stream of green mist. The Rooster King let out a horrified cry before convulsing on the ground and fainting.
Seizing Green Ghost held Zhang Mao's spirit and glanced at the corpse in the ice coffin. Zhang Mao's longing gaze intensified as Seizing Green Ghost prepared to leave with him. Zhang Mao clung tightly to his coffin, refusing to let go.
Wei Ning observed their every move with his Yin-Yang Eye, growing increasingly anxious. If the Seizing Green Ghost did not release its grip, it would be difficult for him to intervene.
After exchanging a few words in ghostly language with Zhang Mao, who bowed and wept before Seizing Green Ghost, it remained unmoved and forcefully pulled Zhang Mao away toward the door.
Just as they reached the entrance, a flash of golden light appeared. Seizing Green Ghost screamed; this was part of the trap Wei Ning had set up at home. In that instant, Wei Ning sprang into action, launching seven jujube pit nails at the seven vital points of Seizing Green Ghost's body. Hearing the sound, Seizing Green Ghost fell to the ground. Wei Ning quickly pulled on his Ink Fight talisman, binding Seizing Green Ghost securely.
Wiping sweat from his forehead, Wei Ning sighed in relief and was about to lead Zhang Mao's spirit away when suddenly Seizing Green Ghost opened its eyes wide and tore apart all the Ink Lines binding it, charging straight at Wei Ning.
Although called a ghost, Seizing Green Ghost was neither truly a ghost nor entirely human; it was half-human and half-demon, akin to a monster. Therefore, Wei Ning's ghost-subduing tools had limited effect on it.
Wei Ning quickly retreated while opening his Yin Yuan Umbrella mid-air and casting Chen State Talismans one after another. However, upon contact with Seizing Green Ghost, these talismans turned to ash. At that moment, Wei Ning truly grasped how formidable Seizing Green Ghost was; fear surged through him as he swiftly dodged its attacks while trying to think of ways to subdue it.
Green mist spewed from Seizing Green Ghost’s mouth. Wei Ning quickly pinched his nose shut; this mist seemed almost tangible as it filled the room more and more. He realized that if he left this room, Seizing Green Ghost would take Zhang Mao's soul away. Retrieving it afterward would be incredibly difficult. Thus, he dared not flee but instead continued to maneuver within the room against Seizing Green Ghost.
The green mist thickened further inside; as Wei Ning dodged one attack after another from Seizing Green Ghost while also caring for Zhang Mao's spirit, he became increasingly frantic. The green mist swelled until everything around them turned green as if shrouded in a layer of green fog.
This must be the death energy absorbed by the Seizing Green Ghost. If I had absorbed it myself, the consequences would be dire.
But how long could Wei Ning hold his breath?
Suddenly, Wei Ning could no longer hold it in. He inhaled sharply, and two streams of green death energy rushed into his nostrils like a pair of giant whales sucking in water.
A thought flashed through Wei Ning's mind: This is bad. Immediately, a strong sense of paralysis surged through his entire body. He felt as if his body no longer belonged to him, slowly becoming rigid, while his consciousness began to fade away. Everything seemed to slip from his grasp.
Darkness. Darkness. And then even more darkness.
Only a voice began to emerge within him.
Seeing that Wei Ning had fallen unconscious, the Seizing Green Ghost muttered something in a ghostly language, then dragged Zhang Mao's soul toward the door. Zhang Mao seemed to still have some awareness, gripping the coffin tightly and refusing to let go.
Suddenly, Wei Ning stood up straight from the ground.
His skin glowed with a bright red hue, one eye shimmering gold while the other burned red, radiating a soul-chilling power. His fingernails elongated rapidly, resembling ten gleaming scythes.
The Seizing Green Ghost looked at Wei Ning and let out a fearful cry, while Zhang Mao's soul trembled even more violently.
Wei Ning moved, and in an instant he was beside the Seizing Green Ghost, baring his sharp teeth in a menacing snarl.
The Seizing Green Ghost felt a surge of fear rising within him.
In a hurry, he expelled two streams of blue light from his nostrils and grabbed Zhang Mao's soul, attempting to flee. However, Wei Ning did not dodge; his claw-like fingers lunged at the Seizing Green Ghost with ferocity.
The Seizing Green Ghost couldn't evade in time; Wei Ning's fingers pierced through his body as easily as cutting tofu. The Seizing Green Ghost glanced at his own form and then at Wei Ning, panic deepening in his eyes.
Gripping his own body with one hand while lifting Zhang Mao's soul with the other, he dared not linger and dashed outside. But Wei Ning was too fast, immediately blocking the Seizing Green Ghost's escape route. His hands plunged into the Seizing Green Ghost's body once more and pulled apart with force.
The Seizing Green Ghost let out a horrific scream as his body deflated like a punctured balloon. With loud pops, green corpse gas erupted from him continuously, filling the air with an overwhelming stench.
Seizing Green Ghost looked incredulously at Wei Ning, then glanced at his own body, which was leaking corpse gas. Suddenly, he spoke in human language, "Are you human or ghost?"
Seizing Green Ghost's body slowly shrank, eventually turning into a puddle of green pus. The room instantly smelled like a sewer, with filth flowing everywhere and an unbearable stench.
Wei Ning let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness once more.
Time passed, and daylight broke. It was then that Wei Ning was rescued by Zhang Long and His Wife.
At this point, Zhang Long and His Wife had likely guessed that Wei Ning's attempt had failed, their faces filled with worry. However, Wei Ning had previously made an agreement with them about the dangers of his method, so Zhang Long and His Wife did not say much to him. Yet, their worried expressions and the sound of Zhang Long's wife weeping made Wei Ning feel uneasy.
But now it was too late; Zhang Mao had probably already lost his Three Souls and Seven Spirits. Wei Ning had done his best, but if Zhang Mao was destined for this fate, what could he do?
Since Wei Ning had lost consciousness and remembered nothing of what he had done, he still believed that Zhang Mao had been captured by Seizing Green Ghost.
At that moment, the so-called Rooster King suddenly pecked at Wei Ning's shoe. Instantly, Wei Ning perked up and exclaimed, "Could it be that you know where Zhang Mao is?"
The Rooster King nodded repeatedly.
At this point, the couple from the Zhang Clan also brightened up, as if they saw a glimmer of hope.
