Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1848 Old Liang Family Residence, the Bugs Acting Strangely

After reading the autobiography, Chi Shuyan didn’t put it back. Instead, she put it in her Cosmos Ring and planned to take it out with her.

As for how to deal with the queen insect in the rotting corpse in the black coffin, Chi Shuyan had a headache. The palace was filled with a dense swarm of bugs, which numbered in the hundreds of millions.

It was easy to deal with thousands or tens of thousands of bugs, but as for hundreds of millions of bugs… Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but have a headache.

Moreover, the yin energy in the old Liang family residence was too strong. It was no wonder that Ancestor Zhuang had fixated on the Liang family back then, and even got the idea of raising a corpse in the old Liang family residence.

Because of a Yin Gathering Array and the Yin Corpse Nourishing Array, these bugs reproduced very quickly over the years. Insects especially liked yin energy, so it was impossible for them not to reproduce quickly.

Chi Shuyan pondered for a long while in the real Liang ancestral hall, but couldn’t think of a way to lure the bugs away and deal with the rotting corpse and queen insect in the wooden coffin. However, she was unwilling to leave just like that.

Chi Shuyan simply sat in the ancestral hall and meditated. She vaguely felt that the 40 vortexes in her body were filled with spiritual energy again. She had reached the peak and could break through to the sixth level of the Mystic Yin Arts at any moment.

When Chi Shuyan examined the spiritual energy in her body, her senses paused on the embryo wrapped in spiritual energy. If she wasn’t wrong, this embryo should be her and Qi Zhenbai’s child.

This child had been nourished with spiritual energy even before it was born, so would probably have decent cultivation talent. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan’s heart was filled with some expectation, and her longing to see Qi Zhenbai increased.

There had been no signal at the old Liang family residence recently, and she couldn’t contact that man – who knew if he was anxious and worried that something had happened to her.

What Chi Shuyan hoped the most for now was to immediately resolve the matter of the old Liang family residence and leave this d*mn place. The others didn’t want to stay here any longer, and neither did she.

Who knew if it was because Chi Shuyan was so set on leaving, but not long after, all sorts of rustling suddenly rang out.

Through the window, Chi Shuyan could clearly see the swarm of insects flying around outside. Some of them landed on the wooden door and windows of the Liang ancestral hall. The light highlighted their silhouettes, which was a ghastly sight.

But the bugs didn’t stay for long, and quickly flew off.

Chi Shuyan sensed the abnormality and immediately released her mental strength. She immediately sensed the bugs heading toward the entrance by which she had entered earlier. More and more bugs tried to leave.

Chi Shuyan vaguely sensed the uneasiness and anxiety of the bugs, but she couldn’t think of a reason for their sudden abnormal behavior.

But if all the bugs left, this might be an opportunity for her.

Chi Shuyan immediately released her spiritual power and scanned the ancestral hall.

Sure enough!

At that moment, all the bugs that were attached to the black coffin in the main hall also flew out, and the black coffin was gradually revealed.

Chi Shuyan was delighted. When most of the bugs had flown off, she immediately ran into the main hall next door.

When she arrived, there was indeed only a small number of bugs on the sides of the coffin. Chi Shuyan immediately set off a few flames.

Before the bugs could attack her, they were burned to ash, and there was the nonstop sound of sizzling in the air.

Chi Shuyan didn’t have time to destroy all the bugs. As soon as she entered, she kicked off the black coffin lid, and it immediately clattered to the floor.

Seeing her action, the scattered bugs gathered together, and the rustling became even louder, and the manic hissing never stopped.

Chi Shuyan’s attention was all on the black coffin at first, as she just glanced at the insects around her out of the corner of her eye. Her instincts told her that danger was imminent, so she subconsciously released her mental strength.

The bugs that had flown toward the cave entrance became even more agitated as they flew back. If Chi Shuyan wasn’t wrong, these bugs should be returning to the ancestral hall.

The bugs here had probably called out to the bugs outside.

Chi Shuyan’s face changed. She immediately lit another flame and burned all the bugs that had gathered together, then quickly went to the black coffin.

She was quite curious about the thing in the black coffin, and now that she looked at it, it was indeed an ugly rotting corpse.

Moreover, this rotting corpse wasn’t dead. Its black eyes stared fixedly at Chi Shuyan as it panted heavily.

Chi Shuyan realized that thanks to the Yin Corpse Nourishing Array, the rotting corpse was actually about to turn into a fresh corpse. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was given a little more time, but because it hadn’t turned into a fresh corpse yet, it couldn’t move.

Chi Shuyan now understood that Ancestor Zhuang had probably been unhappy that he couldn’t find a ‘1,000-year-old living corpse,’ and had planned to cultivate a ‘flying zombie’ himself.

Flying zombies were essentially no different from 1,000-year-old living corpses. Generally speaking, they had to be cultivated for at least 1,000 years. Once they developed into flying zombies, the consequences would be unthinkable. These things were extremely powerful. Not only were they unafraid of sunlight and blades, they could also use spells and self-cultivate.

It was no wonder that the evil Zhuang cultivator had worked so hard for this outcome.

Chi Shuyan was now very glad that the evil Zhuang cultivator was long dead – dealing with him wasn’t hard, but he had been hiding so many things.

Thinking of how the bugs were coming back, Chi Shuyan refocused. She immediately took out a dagger from her Cosmos Ring. She had refined the Iron Essence into this dagger in her spare time.

Chi Shuyan injected spiritual energy into the dagger without hesitation and immediately stabbed it into the rotting corpse’s head. She also took out the queen insect that was in the rotting corpse’s head and burned it to ash.
