Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 73 - Two Ghosts

Shenghao thought the same as Wuneng. Even though Yao Han had just crippled the strange man who was of peak stage Earth Foundation strength, but dealing with a cultivator from the Grey Sky Sect was no easy feat, let alone Wuneng being one of the disciples of the Ghost Gate.

Shenghao and Honghao were no longer in a fighting position and were storing back their Qi. Both of them were curious about the thing Yao Han wanted to make sure as he said.

They were a little worried as Yao Han still stood still quietly, the seven ghosts of Wuneng were already so close to him.

Yao Han's hand movements touching the forehead to bring up the pagoda heirloom could actually still be caught by the eyes by Wuneng as well as Shenghao and Honghao, but Wuneng was late in realizing Yao Han's next action.

Wuneng choked to see the seven ghosts disappear just like that, while Shenghao and Honghao involuntarily opened their eyes and mouths wide.

"What the fuck?!" Wuneng screamed in disbelief, "What did you do to my ghosts?!" Wuneng's body trembled in shock and was a little scared.

Rather than answering Wuneng's question, Yao Han was more interested in the outcome of the action. He saw after the ghost of Wuneng was sent to the Dimension of Pagoda, the seven ghosts were motionless and slowly became grains of light. The Dimension Pagoda absorbed the Qi of the seven ghosts as nutrients.

Yao Han just wanted to prove his theory right. He knows a little bit about Yutian's ghost control. These ghosts could be controlled by cultivators because of a connection. The ghosts sucked in by the heirloom pagoda would automatically lose connection with its master.

"Han'er, you're a genius!" meirong.

Yutian was already laughing out loud, "That strange pagoda turned out to be a natural enemy of ghosts, should the same be true of the undead."

Yao Han smiled widely as he looked at Wuneng, with his pagoda heirloom, then he had nothing to fear from the ghost-controlling cultivators or the undead. But his smile was scary in Wuneng's eyes.

"What are my army of ghosts?! Quickly return!" Wuneng pointed at Yao Han angrily. The same question appeared in Shenghao and Honghao.

"Sorry Brother Gui, your ghosts have perished and become the food of this red thing."

"You-you! Don't you want a fight? How can you cheat like that?!"

"Hm?" Yao Han raised his brows, "Maybe you forgot, but you belong to the kind of cultivator who could not possibly be expected to fight fairly. You're using a ghost army, while I'm using an heirloom, I think that's justice."

"How dare you do this to me." Wuneng stared furiously at Yao Han, "Make sure you regret having upset the Ghost Gate disciples."

Yao Han laughed softly, "Brother Gui, do you intend to scare me by carrying your teacher's name? Too bad, I'm much more afraid of the name of the Poison Gate of the previous generation."

Wuneng's eyes narrowed, "Toxic Gate... What is your relationship with the Valley of the Poison Heart?"

"Why? You seem to be trying to figure out my background. I'm telling you, I'm not from any sect."

Wuneng smirked, "Oh, you're a free cultivator. How dare you challenge me."

Shenghao and Honghao felt a little pity for Wuneng. If only the young man knew Yao Han was a disciple of the East Wind, perhaps he would rather run away immediately.

"Brother Gui, do you still have another army of ghosts? How about you fight me without relying on your ghost?"

"Hmph! Who do you think I am? Of course I still have. I don't actually consider you an enemy, but you're forcing me. If you dare, I challenge you to fight my ghost without your heirloom!" Wuneng exclaimed as he pointed at Yao Han.

"Hm. as long as the power of the ghosts you use does not exceed the Foundation Realm, I accept your challenge."

"You take it easy, for the time being I can't possibly perfectly control a ghost with the power of the Core Realm upwards."

Shenghao and Honghao hurriedly approached Yao Han. They were trying to make Yao Han rethink his actions. Without the heirloom that Yao Han had taken out earlier, Shenghao felt that the young man would be in trouble.

"I appreciate your concern, Brother Shenghao, but I am confident in my ability."

"I hope you didn't really lose your mind, Brother Yao."

Yao Han let out a small laugh then asked his two friends to stay away and better watch over the strange man who was still rolling around while roaring in pain due to Yao Han's attack on his 'little brother'. The sound of his pain became 'music' between Yao Han's 'fight' and Wuneng's.

Wuneng took out two tombstones of the same size as before and lifted them up. There were hundreds of green and blue grains of light that formed two ghostly figures.

The first ghost is green with the form of a long-haired teenage girl. The second ghost is blue with an old man wearing clothes like a noble holding a small fan.

"Wuneng, you should have called us daritadi, you're so careless."

Yao Han and his two friends were shocked when they heard the ghost of the girl making a sound. Moreover, the two ghosts possessed strength in the early stage Sky Foundation.

"I'm sorry, let's show him that it won't end well to offend a Gui Wuneng." Wuneng stared fiercely at Yao Han. The other flared up looking at Yao Han's shocked look on the face.

"Brother Yao..."

Shenghao and Honghao put on a wary face as well as worry for Yao Han, whose position was unfavorable against three figures at once. Yet Yao Han simply raised his hand as a sign he would be fine.

"Teacher She, you never told me there's a ghost that can talk..."

"Hm, it's very rare for such a ghost to exist. The foundation of Heaven and still have consciousness. Even if you can handle them, don't let your guard down."

"Understand me, Master." Of course Yao Han had absolutely no intention of lowering his guard.

Yao Han looked at Wuneng with a faint smile, "Brother Gui, it looks like you are being too serious. In this case, we'll hurt each other."

"After you made me lose seven ghosts at once, you can still say that? I don't care anymore. And just so you know, these two ghosts of mine, Lulu and Langui, will make you lose one or two of your limbs."

"There's no need to hold back, we just take him and those two people out." The ghost of an old man named Langui flatly replied.

"You're right, Langui. Let's get him." The ghost of the girl named Lulu replied while laughing out loud.

Yao Han smiled faintly, "Is that so? I wanted to let you go, Brother Gui. But since you're. I mean, you guys are so serious, then I won't hold back anymore."

Yao Han closed his eyes for a moment while taking a deep breath. Coinciding with him opening his eyes, the look in his eyes sharpened as well as his body was enveloped in a golden blue-colored Qi. The strength he displayed was even greater than when dealing with the terror offender's strange man.

"This young man is very mysterious, his practice is still in the Basic Realm but his strength is offsetting the Foundation Realm, only the first time I heard of him," murmured Wuneng.

"No need to think about it, we'll make sure he loses his life tonight." Lulu snuffed coldly.
