In the ghost domain, the vengeful spirit let out a demonic laugh, venting its unwillingness and resentment from being trapped for hundreds of years, as well as its endless joy at escaping.
Over three hundred years ago, to break through to the level of a vengeful spirit, it slaughtered a human city. Although it successfully ascended to a vengeful spirit, its actions attracted a powerful wizard.
Even though its strength was comparable to the wizard's, and neither could defeat the other, the wizard knew before arriving that he was not a match for the vengeful spirit, so he overextended his life to seal it underground.
Originally, in a few more decades, it would have been completely obliterated by the seal, but when the shopping mall was built, the ground was destroyed, and a crack appeared in the seal.
Now it has successfully escaped the seal, but that wizard must have long since entered reincarnation.
It wants to find the wizard's reincarnation and completely destroy his soul.
"Hmm? To be able to deal with my subordinate evil spirits, your strength is not bad. Surrender to me, and I will spare your lives."
Lee Yeong and Kim Shin exchanged glances upon hearing the vengeful spirit's words. This was definitely a serious illness; both of them were doting on their wives, so they charged forward without hesitation.
Facing their attacks, the vengeful spirit released endless ghostly energy from its hands, transforming into streaks of sword energy that shot towards them. Lee Yeong and Kim Shin were naturally unafraid, and their treasured swords also emitted sword energy to block.
Eun Tak and Eun Sang watched their battle, feeling as if they had stepped into a movie. A scene that only existed in fiction was now unfolding before their eyes.
Eun Tak quickly accepted it because she had been able to see ghosts since she was young, but Eun Sang was completely new to this. She had been in a state of shock ever since she saw Kim Shin slay the evil spirits. There really were ghosts, and her best friend and boyfriend were both powerful exorcists...
Just as she was in a daze, she saw the vengeful spirit, which had been fighting Lee Yeong and the others, suddenly come towards Eun Tak. Having just snapped back to reality, she was too scared to move, so she could only close her eyes.
"Prince of the heavens, iron-wrought fortress, dragon's roar, lion's roar, tiger's roar, wolf's dash, sever the heavens and earth before collapse, Binding Spell Number 81: Severing Void."
Suddenly, a huge defensive wall appeared in front of them, blocking all of the vengeful spirit's attacks. Seeing this, the vengeful spirit, feeling outmatched, tried to escape, but it was too late.
"Nine Heavens Profound Lightning, transform into divine thunder; glorious heavenly might, guided by the sword."
Lee Yeong directly unleashed his ultimate move, Divine Sword Command Thunder. At the same time, Kim Shin raised both hands, and a sword light appeared in his hand, transforming into an arc of light that directly struck the vengeful spirit.
As expected, showing off does not end well. The vengeful spirit instantly met its end, but to die under the combined attack of Lee Yeong and Kim Shin could be considered its honor!
...
After dealing with the vengeful spirit, the two also took Ji Eun Tak and Cha Eun Sang and left separately. Originally, Eun Tak wanted to chat with Lee Yeong while Kim Shin was there, but she also knew that Eun Sang needed Lee Yeong more at that moment.
As for what would happen next with so many people dying in the mall, they didn't care.
But it was certain that the authorities, to maintain social order, would find a reasonable excuse to suppress the matter.
Lee Yeong brought Cha Eun Sang to the manor villa. Although she was curious about Lee Yeong owning such a luxurious villa, her fear of ghosts now outweighed everything else.
Seeing Eun Sang still holding his hands tightly, Lee Yeong knew she must have many questions.
"I was planning to tell you during our Christmas dinner, but I didn't expect... I can tell you anything you want to know."
Cha Eun Sang thought of many questions, such as: Are there really ghosts in this world? Why can I see ghosts? Did Eun Tak know about ghosts all along? How does Lee Yeong catch ghosts? And so on.
But when she was about to ask, she found herself at a loss for words. She already had an answer in her heart regarding so-called ghosts, but there were some things she had pondered for a long time.
Lee Yeong also did not disturb Cha Eun Sang. He hoped Eun Sang could recognize the truth of this world, and most importantly, recognize himself.
"Are you still the Lee Yeong who loves me?"
"Yes, I always have been, and I will always love you!"
Hearing Lee Yeong's reply, Cha Eun Sang felt that other things no longer seemed important. As long as the man she loved also loved her, she could bravely face everything.
Enjoying Lee Yeong's warm embrace, Cha Eun Sang felt exceptionally comfortable. Looking into Lee Yeong's affectionate eyes, she was no longer shy and actively offered a passionate kiss...
The two were immersed in love, unable to control themselves. Just as they were about to take things further, a phone call pulled them back.
"Hello, Mom."
"Yes, I'm with Lee Yeong. We'll be back soon."
"I didn't bully him at all. He was clearly bullying me... Okay, I'm hanging up."
It turned out to be Eun Sang's mother calling, and Eun Sang almost spilled the beans. Watching Lee Yeong, who was depressed beside her, she laughed heartily...
"This isn't me not giving you a chance. It must be Mom not wanting her little white rabbit to be eaten by the big bad wolf too soon."
"Oh, you're getting bold, even mocking me! Watch me serve you some family rules!"
"Haha... I can't, I can't. I was wrong, please stop tickling me..."
After their playful tussle, they lingered for a while longer, and then Lee Yeong reluctantly sent Cha Eun Sang back.
Inside the small world, Ji Woo was still cultivating. At this moment, the primordial energy on her body would fluctuate from time to time, and the energy of heaven and earth slowly transformed into magic power, entering her body.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth continuously circulated within Ji Woo's body until it completed thirty-six cycles, finally reaching perfection. A vortex formed in her lower dantian, and all the primordial energy was completely transformed into magic power and stored within it.
This was precisely reaching the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm. From then on, she could begin to practice spells and would no longer fear ordinary bullets and hidden weapons.
While the primordial energy transformed into magic power, it would also continuously temper the physical body, enhancing overall strength.
"Lee Yeong, I've broken through! I've reached the second layer of Jade Purity!"
Ji Woo was very happy, not only for Lee Yeong's so-called reward but also for gaining the strength to take revenge.
"Much faster than I expected. Your talent is good, and you're indeed very diligent. Alright, since you've reached the second layer of Jade Purity, and magic power will continuously condense within your body, I'll first impart the first twenty sequences of Ghost Dao to you."
After speaking, Lee Yeong demonstrated the twenty sequences of Destruction Spells and Binding Spells within that range, telling her the methods to pay attention to when using Ghost Dao.
"Before practicing Ghost Dao, you must learn how to control your magic power."
"Additionally, I will teach you a sword technique called City of Love."
"Once you have fully mastered the control of magic power and become proficient with the sword technique, you can take your revenge. I'll give you one week."
"On New Year's Eve, I'll take you to send the entire East River Sect on their way!"
Ji Woo looked at Lee Yeong with admiration, respect, and a hint of love. She knew Lee Yeong had a girlfriend and loved her very much, but she didn't mind. As long as she could stay by his side, she could keep this feeling hidden in her heart.
