The old Daoist ignored me and walked straight into the house, then said to the empty room, "I'll give you two choices. One, let me surpass you. "I normally wouldn't do something like collecting ghosts that would make a person's soul perish, but if you don't know what's good for you, then I can only reluctantly accept it."

Laughter came from the room. It was a very arrogant and vicious laughter, but it also carried a hint of sadness. "I know you're very powerful, but I still have things to do. I definitely won't let you take me in!"

The old Daoist calmly said, "Eh, since that's the case, there's no other way." After saying that, he quickly bit his finger and drew an Yinyang Eight Trigrams pattern on his palm. He then chanted an incantation and sent a palm strike at the wall.

A golden Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams pattern flew to the wall, and after entering the wall, Li Youlan screamed miserably. The screams were so loud and piercing that even I felt my heart ache.

After Li Youlan was hit by the Yinyang Eight Trigrams pattern, she quickly flew out of the wall. In an instant, she disappeared again.

At this time, the four wooden chairs in the room automatically floated up into the air and flew towards the old Daoist, surrounding him.

The old Daoist glanced at the four chairs and quickly took out talisman paper from his pocket. However, before he could throw the talisman paper, the four chairs all simultaneously threw it at him from four different directions.

The old Daoist remained calm and quickly leaped into the air. He did something that was difficult for an ordinary person to do. He cleverly dodged the four chairs, and before he landed on the ground, he threw the talisman in his hand towards the four walls.

The talisman stuck firmly to the wall, just like a magnet sucking away a piece of metal.

This was not the end. The old Daoist quickly took out his copper coin sword and swung it out. A yellow light flashed by and Li Youlan heard another miserable "Ah!".

After Li Youlan was struck, she immediately appeared. She knew that she could not beat the old Daoist, so she wanted to escape, but just as she landed on the wall, she crashed into it with a "bang". She leaned against the wall, trembling as if she had been electrocuted, and then popped out of the wall.

He saw that the talisman that the old Daoist had stuck to the wall was glowing with a faint yellow light.

The talisman paper that the old Daoist seemed to have inadvertently pasted onto the wall actually had such an effect. It seemed that every step of the battle between him and Li Youlan was within his calculations.

Seeing that she had no hope of escaping, Li Youlan quickly controlled a glass bottle and sent it flying towards the old Daoist. Then she flew towards me.

Seeing this, she was stunned for a moment. What was Li Youlan trying to do?

Without waiting for me to understand, Li Youlan's claw, which was like a pair of Nine Yin White Bone Claws, grabbed my neck and lifted me up …

An intense pain immediately stimulated my nerves. At the same time, I felt like I couldn't breathe. It felt like my lungs were about to explode.

I never thought that Li Youlan would actually treat me like this …

Li Youlan turned around and held me back before blocking my entire body in front of the old Daoist. She shouted, "Hurry and let me out, otherwise I'll kill him!"

The old Daoist calmly said, "The door is right behind you. If you want to go out, then go out by yourself."

Li Youlan looked behind me before grabbing me and pulling me back slowly. By now, her grip on my neck had loosened enough for me to breathe, but her long nails were digging into my flesh, and it still hurt.

Li Youlan lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry." Then she pushed me forward, then jumped back and flew through the doorway.

I thought she'd run away.

At this moment, I heard a scream from behind me.

This was Li Youlan's voice …

I turned my head to look and found that Li Youlan had bumped into a rune pattern outside the door. She struggled in pain and cried out miserably. Her entire body was being burnt by the talisman, emitting black smoke.

I walked to the old Daoist's side. I still had some lingering fear towards the scene of Li Youlan pressing on my neck and threatening the old Daoist.

"AHH!" "Gong Nan, please save me …" Li Youlan appealed to me for help.

When I saw her pained expression, and recalled that she didn't threaten me with killing intent, but only wanted to escape, my heart softened. "Old Daoist, how about letting her go? She didn't do anything to me, did she?"

The old Daoist bluntly said, "No." Then he suddenly pulled at my neck and pulled out a fingernail, which hurt so much I could die. He said, "This ghost girl is going to strangle you to death. Look, this fingernail has already pierced into your neck. "Are you in a trance or something? A blockhead!"

I knew that the old Daoist was doing it for my own good. I weakly said, "Then let's go beyond her. Letting her vanish into thin air is not the best outcome."

Li Youlan's screams kept on reverberating in my ears. No matter how she treated me before, as long as I was still human, I would be unable to bear hearing her screams.

However, the old Daoist said plainly, "Superstition is not as simple as you think it is. She still needs your cooperation. Do you think she will cooperate with me? "

It was at this time that Li Youlan, who was screaming miserably, pleaded, "Master, please let me go, I'm begging you. "Ah, it hurts!"

"No, not only is there no door, you don't even have a window." It seemed that the old Daoist was determined to take care of Li Youlan.

The old Daoist continued, "Now you have two choices. One is for me to surpass you, and two is for me to accept you. "Choose."

Li Youlan quickly said, "Master, let me down. I can't take it anymore. I feel like my soul is about to be destroyed."

The old Daoist calmly said, "You don't have a soul at all. All you have is a vengeful soul." However, as she spoke, the old Daoist pointed towards the Eight Trigrams pattern. A beam of golden light shot out and Li Youlan fell from the pattern.

Li Youlan slowly struggled to stand up from the ground. Her originally terrifying and ugly face, caused by the torment, now appeared even more terrifying. However, in addition to the terror, there was also a bit more pity.

In my heart, the current Li Youlan only had that little bit of pity left.

It was only then that I realized that ghosts were not only abominable, but also pitiful.

Suddenly, she kneeled down in front of the old Daoist and said, "Master, please let me go. I still have a wish, please give me seven days. After seven days, I will take the initiative to come to find you and let you transcend me." As she spoke, Li Youlan kowtowed three times.

I asked, "You Lan, what other wishes do you have?"

Li Youlan said, "I've spent three years and finally found the person who poisoned me. I want to go back and take revenge!"

The old Daoist said flatly, "I'm just going to harm people!"

Li Youlan almost shouted out, "Don't tell me if he kills me he'll get away with it and not be punished!"

The old Daoist said, "I don't care what grievances you have, all I know is that it is impossible for a ghost to harm a person. Besides, even if you're not a ghost, taking revenge like this is not allowed in this society. Do you think you are a fool in a wuxia novel, saying that you will pay for it with your life, take revenge, in reality, these are all childish bullshit! "

"I don't care!" Li Youlan shouted, "I want him dead, or else it will be unfair to me!"

"This world is unfair to begin with. Rinse and sleep, nationalist. Uhh, no, nationalist."

I don't quite agree with the old Daoist. After all, Li Youlan has already become a ghost, and if she goes to take revenge, she won't be punished by the law even if she kills someone.

I said to the old Daoist, "We'll just give her seven days. I believe that she won't lie to us."

The old Daoist smacked me on the back of the head, making me dizzy. "Are you stupid? You should know that she's the one who killed people, and human life isn't something that can be easily killed! Furthermore, she killed her enemy. I can guarantee that her enemy will turn into a malicious ghost. Wouldn't I have to risk my life to obtain another ghost? Also, if her enemies knew that she was the murderer, wouldn't they destroy her entire family? At that time, her whole family will become monsters, are you going to take them? "

The old Daoist then said to Li Youlan, "It's absolutely impossible for me to let you go!"

The old Daoist's tough stance was beyond my imagination. I didn't expect this fellow to be so heartless and merciless. He even refused to let go of such a pitiful female ghost.

I couldn't ask the old Taoist to let Li Youlan go, so I could only say to Li Youlan, "How about this, tell me who killed you and then give me enough evidence. I will report the case on your behalf and use legal means to punish the culprit. What do you think?"

Li Youlan smiled coldly a few times but declined to comment. She had a mournful look on her face. She murmured, "The law, I can't see the law clearly …"

At this moment, she suddenly flew towards me and grabbed my neck. "Master, if you don't let me go, I will kill him today!"

I didn't react at all. I didn't expect that Li Youlan would actually repeat the same trick.

The old Daoist lightly said, "Do you think you can just run away like that?"

"Quickly withdraw the eight trigram formation at the entrance. Otherwise, I will strangle him!"

I could only feel Li Youlan's fingernails sinking deeper and deeper into my neck. As for me, I was becoming more and more breathless and my vision had already started to blur.

Li Youlan, you really hurt my heart. I've been helping you the whole time …

The last shred of pity I had for her vanished with her pinch.

"Hurry up, do you want him dead!" Li Youlan was shouting like she had gone mad, her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a lunatic.

The old Daoist did not say anything else and quickly took out the copper coin sword in his hand. The sword was extremely fast, and in a split-second, the copper coin sword had pierced through Li Youlan's head and flew out from the back of her head.

The speed of this move of the old Daoist's was actually so fast that even ghosts would not be able to react in time!

Blood slowly dripped from the surface of the copper coin sword. "Zi zi", black smoke emerged from the wound …

Li Youlan gradually loosened her grip on my neck. It was as if her bones had been pulled out. She collapsed to the ground without any strength left in her. There wasn't even a last wail. She died just like that.

Her shriveled and ugly body began to slowly rot, turning into a pool of sewage. Black smoke began to emerge from her body, and then it turned into dust.

She had already died once. If she died again, she would never be reincarnated …

The old Daoist lightly snorted. "There has never been a ghost that could threaten me."
