On Monday, Zhou Yichao called out, "Bai You, what did you say? This female ghost has become even more powerful!"
She had already been at a disadvantage, and now it was even worse. Bai Tong's expression was not good either. She hadn’t expected this female ghost to be so easily provoked. Just a moment ago, she had been confident that she could frighten the two of them into a panic, but now she felt uncertain.
Zhou Yichao, interrupted in her attempt to perform a ritual, moved to Bai Tong's side, standing back to back with her as they prepared to face the irrational female ghost before them.
To make matters worse, the infant girl sensed her mother's change and immediately began to grow restless. An unsettling aura radiated from her, as if she were ready to tear the two of them apart.
Before Bai Tong and Zhou Yichao could think of a way to break the deadlock, the female ghost and the infant lunged at them. The sharp claws glimmered ominously in the dim light of night, threatening to shred them both.
Zhou Yichao felt a wave of regret wash over her—she regretted coming here. This Bai You was far too unreliable. As soon as they engaged with the dual ghosts, an unsettling feeling surged within them.
This was bad; they couldn't win.
Zhou Yichao whispered, "Bai You, do you have any confidence?"
Bai Tong's face was heavy with worry. She didn’t have any confidence at all. She hadn’t realized just how formidable these two ghosts were. Even in her foundational stage, she feared she wouldn’t stand a chance.
Zhou Yichao didn’t hear her respond and sighed inwardly.
She already knew the answer.
With a pessimistic thought, she wondered if she would meet her end here today. In that brief moment, the two ghostly figures flew towards her once more. Their every move was difficult to counter. Bai Tong struggled to fend them off with her peach wood sword, but soon coughed up a mouthful of blood and quickly scattered several talismans.
"Use the talismans to hold them off, let’s run!"
As soon as Bai Tong's voice fell, she saw her talismans being crushed into a ball by the baby ghost's grip. Her face turned pale with shock—were the talismans she drew really that ineffective?
Beside her, Zhou Yi's expression suddenly brightened as she looked at the talismans. She almost forgot about her life-saving weapon. Grabbing Bai Tong with one hand, Zhou Yi noticed her confused expression and had no time to explain. Instead, she quickly threw another talisman behind them.
"Run!"
Zhou Yi immediately pulled Bai Tong and dashed outside, not daring to look back even for a moment. They sprinted out of the courtyard in one breath and only turned around once they reached the roadside.
They saw the two ghostly figures glaring at them with resentment, as if some unseen force was preventing them from pursuing. Looking up, they noticed a yellow talisman floating quietly in midair.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she had brought the ghost-repelling talisman she bought from Fu Xi. That money was well spent.
From now on, she would never complain about Fu Xi's prices again; those talismans were worth every penny!
Turning to Bai Tong, Zhou Yi said, "Friend Bai, our preparations today were insufficient. These two ghosts are more formidable than we imagined. We should come back next time when we’re better prepared."
Bai Tong's heart was filled with reluctance. She had come with great determination to exorcise the spirits, hoping to make a name for herself, but in the end, she found herself unable to defeat them. It was truly humiliating.
No matter how unwilling she felt, there was nothing she could do; she simply wasn't strong enough. With a resigned nod, she agreed.
The two turned and began their descent down the mountain. At that moment, Bai Tong couldn't help but feel curious about the talisman. The situation had been so urgent earlier that she hadn't had time to examine it closely. Now, as she thought back on it, she realized that the talisman looked increasingly like an exquisite spirit-restraining talisman passed down through her sect's ancient texts.
