Chapter 12

At the Mengshan execution ground, the temperature suddenly turned cold, and both Li Mang and Bao Ren were shivering, feeling extremely uneasy. They were surrounded by black mist, making it impossible to see their surroundings clearly.

From time to time, they could hear Daoist Zhang chanting spells, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, and sometimes in front or behind. The illusion made it difficult to determine the direction, causing headaches for the two of them.

"Keke!"

A sinister female voice came from all directions, striking directly at their hearts.

"Ghost... Ghost... Female ghost, don't come closer!" Bao Ren shouted in fear, instinctively stepping back. He had opened his eyes out of sheer terror and saw some unclean things, which made his face turn deathly pale.

"If you don't want to die, close your eyes. Can't you see that Li Mang can hold on?" Daoist Zhang's voice came from the front, scolding them.

"..." In the darkness, Li Mang bit his lip, almost unable to hold the umbrella in his hand. He really wanted to say that it wasn't that he could hold on, but that he was too afraid to open his eyes. However, considering that it would be pointless to say so, he wisely remained silent, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

Bao Ren obediently shut up, stopping his retreat, drenched in cold sweat, his whole body trembling, and sweat pouring out, instantly soaking his clothes.

Actually, he hadn't seen much, just a woman with disheveled hair and a bloodless complexion floating in the air. This alone was enough to make anyone's scalp tingle, especially when the female ghost's eyes, two green orbs with an evil glow, were fixed on him, making his throat dry and the scene suffocating.

Even with his eyes closed, Bao Ren still felt the female ghost getting closer, which made him feel suffocated. Despite being scolded by Daoist Zhang, he couldn't help but move his feet backward, his body shaking violently.

"Human and ghost are different paths. Why don't you go to the cycle of rebirth instead of staying where you shouldn't? If you continue like this, you will surely fall into the animal realm!" Daoist Zhang demanded.

"Stinky Daoist, mind your own business! Animal realm? Be careful, I'll dig out your heart and feed it to the dogs!" The female ghost seemed to be sneering, but her voice was icy.

"You can transform into a ghost, which is rare and precious. You should accumulate good deeds, not do evil and harm people!" Daoist Zhang held a sword in his right hand and a talisman in his left, looking righteous.

"Keke, stinky Daoist, stop talking nonsense, take this!"

"Heaven is clear, earth is spiritual, soldiers follow the seal, generals follow the order..."

"Bang..."

"Ah... You, female ghost, actually have fifty years of cultivation!"

"Keke, fifty years? Stinky Daoist, you underestimate me. Die!"

"Pu..."

Although they couldn't see anything, they could hear the sounds of the fight, feeling suffocated and trapped, unable to move forward or backward, only able to wait with their eyes closed, their feet trembling.

Worse still, despite using all his magic, Daoist Zhang was still at a disadvantage. Although they couldn't see, Li Mang could tell, and his anxiety grew. This situation seemed like waiting for death, which was far from reassuring.

"Cough, cough, you two, quickly find a way to leave. I can't fight her for now, I need to go back and prepare!" Daoist Zhang's voice sounded strange.

"Daoist Zhang, you're leaving us in the lurch! How can we leave in this state?" Li Mang couldn't help but curse, and Bao Ren, for the first time, agreed with him, though he didn't dare to say it. They were still in the illusion, and if they ran around, who knew if they would fall off a cliff.

"Heaven and earth, natural, foul air disperses, the cave is mysterious, the light is bright, the great origin, evil and foulness dissipate, the Daoist energy remains—Purify the Heaven and Earth Spell!" Daoist Zhang chanted a spell, and the Mengshan execution ground was suddenly filled with golden light, driving away the oppressive energy.

"Keke!" The female ghost sneered, her sharp nails slashing towards Daoist Zhang's face.

"Shh..." Although Daoist Zhang dodged in time, he was still at a disadvantage, and his face was scratched with several bloody marks, the blood black, clearly poisonous.

Daoist Zhang was injured while trying to save Li Mang and Bao Ren, but the two of them were heartless. As their vision and sense of direction returned, their originally weak legs stiffened, and they threw away the umbrella, transforming into top Olympic athletes, running out at a frequency beyond human capability. Of course, compared to Li Mang, Bao Ren was much weaker. By the time Li Mang got into the car, Bao Ren was only halfway there.

One reason was that Li Mang was younger, and the other was that after being cleansed by the wild chicken, his body had surpassed that of an ordinary person, making his escape speed far superior to Bao Ren's, who was middle-aged.

"Take the Migu!" Li Mang, seeing that Bao Ren was still not far away, felt a jolt of unease and hurriedly summoned the Shanhaijing from his heart, opened the map of the Southern Mountains, and entered it.

The person in the passenger seat disappeared, but a few seconds later, Li Mang returned, tightly holding a piece of plant, the Migu. However, no one saw this.

"Bang!"

Bao Ren frantically climbed into the driver's seat, his hands trembling, trying to start the car several times without success. In a panic, he turned to Li Mang for help: "Li... Secretary, can you drive?"

"No!" Li Mang replied bluntly, but he had no problem starting the car. He reached over and turned the key, finally getting the engine to start.

"Vroom..." Without a second thought, Bao Ren shifted gears and stepped on the gas.

"Wait, do you want to lose your position? Daoist Zhang hasn't come out yet!" Li Mang quickly pulled the handbrake, looking at Bao Ren with disdain.

"..." Bao Ren said dryly, "I'm too nervous!" If he hadn't retained his last bit of rationality, he might have said he didn't want the position. Of course, he had signed a lifetime contract with Yanhuang, so he couldn't just quit.

"Thump thump thump..."

A series of hurried footsteps came from the execution ground, followed by Daoist Zhang's call: "Quickly start the car, I'll jump on the roof!"

"Quickly, quickly!" Li Mang urged Bao Ren, as he saw a white figure floating towards them, making his face turn pale.

"Vroom vroom!!"

Bao Ren fumbled to start the SUV.

"Bang!" Outside, Daoist Zhang leaped high and landed accurately on the roof, grabbing the railing with both hands, showing remarkable agility. However, he was far from his usual righteous self, shouting loudly: "Quick! Quick! Quick!"

"Vroom..."

The SUV's performance was excellent, and with Bao Ren stepping on the gas, it shot forward like an arrow.

"Female ghost, don't be so arrogant, take this!" Daoist Zhang on the roof had to deal with the female ghost, bouncing around, extremely miserable.

"Keke!"

The sinister voice made Li Mang's hair stand on end, and he had a bad feeling. Looking back, he saw Bao Ren, who was extremely nervous, stepping on the gas hard, making the car sway and the chassis creak.

"Something's wrong, asphalt roads don't make this sound!" Li Mang finally noticed something was off and looked ahead, his face turning green. The SUV had driven off the road, heading straight for a cliff.

Strangely, although Bao Ren was tense, his eyes were fixed on the road, and he didn't realize he was off course.

"Ghost wall!"

Li Mang shouted in alarm, tightly holding the Migu, and without hesitation, he grabbed the steering wheel and turned it sharply to the left.

"Screech... Bang!"

The car crashed into a hillside. Fortunately, it had just started, and the impact wasn't strong. The two inside were thrown against the windshield by inertia but were only slightly hurt.

Daoist Zhang on the roof was less fortunate. He was busy dealing with the female ghost and didn't know the car's situation. The impact threw him off, and he crashed into the hillside before falling back onto the roof. Although he was a skilled Daoist, his physical condition was only average, and this nearly cost him his life.

"Ouch... What are you doing?! Hurry up and go!" Daoist Zhang angrily shouted from the roof, but seeing the female ghost catching up, he quickly urged them.

"Oh oh..."

Bao Ren glanced at the cliff, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly reversed the car, then sped forward.
