Yang Xiao couldn’t help but marvel, indeed, age brings wisdom. His elder uncle had only observed for a moment, yet he discerned the details of this magic artifact with perfect clarity.
These were insights even he, as the user of the artifact, had not grasped.
"Thank you, Elder Uncle, for enlightening me." With his uncle’s guidance, he now understood when and how to use the Ghost Bell.
Having resolved the issue with the bell, Yang Xiao retrieved the Ghost Phone from his backpack, something that had puzzled him for a long time, hoping once again for his uncle’s guidance.
The elder behind the curtain was genuinely kind to Yang Xiao, his prevailing nephew, and after a few simple questions, he waved his hand, directing Daoist Qingfeng to spar with Yang Xiao.
"Elder Uncle, do you think Senior Brother Qingfeng needs a new phone?" Yang Xiao hadn’t fully deciphered the abilities of the Ghost Phone, but having firsthand experience in Jingping Town, he was well aware of the artifact’s terrifying power.
However, his suggestion was promptly rejected by his elder uncle, who encouraged him to proceed as he saw fit.
"Yang, there’s no need for concern, just go ahead." Daoist Qingfeng stroked his beard, his strength was not as great as Daoist Mingyue, but his insight and knowledge surpassed the latter, earning him the title of a wise general.
Since both his uncle and senior brother had spoken thus, Yang Xiao stopped hesitating. He found the number in the contact list and directly dialed using the Ghost Phone, while Daoist Qingfeng on the other side was also prepared.
Yet, after attempting three times, he still failed. Yang Xiao confirmed that he had indeed dialed Senior Brother Qingfeng’s number.
Daoist Qingfeng held a phone, an old-fashioned black-and-white model, its screen lit up, functioning normally, but no call came through.
Describing the previous scenes when he used the artifact to his uncle, the elder pondered slightly and instructed him to go to the neighboring secret room, close the door, and try again. When Yang Xiao did so, the call was connected.
"Beep——"
With the call connected, Yang Xiao felt a "buzz" in his mind, and the world before his eyes blurred into a haze, a strange sensation spread through his body, as if inhabiting a new body, reborn.
When he regained his senses, the scene before him was gray and hazy, and before he realized it, he was back in the room with his uncle and senior brother. Even though Yang Xiao had previously informed them, at that moment, Qingfeng and Ming Yue’s expressions when looking at "himself" were still quite spectacular. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Yang Xiao attempted to open his mouth and communicate with them, but the sounds he made were meaningless roars.
As if demonstrating, he successively took out the Ghost Lantern, Ghost Chef’s Knife, and Ghost Bamboo Stick to attack Senior Brother Qingfeng, though only trying to attack. Qingfeng cooperated well by defending without counterattacking.
Before Yang Xiao could continue trying, his body suddenly stiffened, and that familiar strange feeling hit him again. When he regained his senses, he was back in the secret room.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiao stepped out of the secret room, having roughly calculated the time, which didn’t exceed 5 minutes in total.
"Yang, this artifact of yours is truly impressive; Senior Brother Ming Yue and I couldn’t distinguish it at all." Even Daoist Qingfeng, who was well-informed, couldn’t help but praise upon seeing Yang Xiao come out.
"The technique is not visible, not even the magic artifact. It’s indeed extraordinary." Daoist Mingyue said in a deep voice.
This time, even the rarely silent Second Demon Taoist behind the curtain was unusually quiet, before a hoarse voice finally emerged, "Can you use this artifact one more time?"
Yang Xiao held the Ghost Phone, closed his eyes to feel it slightly, then nodded, "It shouldn’t be a problem."
"Qingfeng, find someone for him to eliminate, right in Xiang Ma Town," the Second Demon Taoist instructed.
Hearing this, Yang Xiao was a bit surprised, but Daoist Qingfeng was quick, taking less than a minute to lock onto a target and inform Yang Xiao of the exact address and phone number. Seeing Yang Xiao’s hesitant gaze, Daoist Qingfeng raised a hand, patted his shoulder, and comforted him in a low voice:
"Don’t worry, our master wouldn’t killing innocents. This is a scoundrel, involved in human trafficking by stealing wives and daughters, and we’ve rooted him out. If you don’t act, he’ll die anyway."
To ensure foolproof results, the Second Demon Taoist instructed Qingfeng to get to the vicinity of that beast’s house in advance to survey and observe.
When Daoist Qingfeng sent word that he was ready, Yang Xiao returned to the secret room and dialed the number again.
This time, after regaining consciousness, Yang Xiao appeared directly in a dark alley in Xiang Ma Town. With the address in hand, he quickly found the residence located deep within the dark alley.
Using the Soul-Capturing Mirror to infiltrate, he found three men playing cards inside, while five women were locked up in the innermost small room, with a little girl crouched in the corner, sobbing softly.
"Truly beasts..." Daoist Qingfeng hadn’t provided him with photos, so Yang Xiao didn’t know which of the three was the primary culprit, but it didn’t matter anymore. Killing them all would be cleaner.
Yang Xiao simply extended his hand with a gesture of grasping in the air, pulling the three men into the Mirror World. Through this, he also tested their strength, finding only one man with a tattooed arm showing a spiritual power response, merely a Resentment Level Apostle, not worth mentioning.
Seeing "Yang Xiao," the three were nearly scared out of their wits. Yang Xiao didn’t immediately kill them; firstly, to gradually adapt to this new body, making various new attempts, and secondly, because killing them easily would be too lenient.
Moments later, the only Apostle among the three regained his wits, gritting his teeth and retrieving something from his jacket pocket, hurling it directly at Yang Xiao.
