Chapter 195
Most of the Ghost Mother Evil Goddess’s true body remained imprisoned in the hells of the Netherworld.
Faced with the attacks of three great spirit-medium patriarchs, she was already struggling to keep up.
For all her calculations, she had never imagined she would encounter an anomaly like Old Sixth Hui.
Since cultivation systems first arose in ancient times, there had never been a precedent for a Daoist accepting a spirit medium as a disciple-especially not one from the “lowliest” Gray Family lineage.
Spirit mediums might be called “Immortal Spirits,” but that was merely the name ordinary people gave them.
In the eyes of orthodox cultivators, among the Five Great Spirit-Medium Families, only the Hu Family-with Lord Hu San and Lady Hu San presiding over it-amounted to anything. The other four did not even qualify as the lowliest folk deities.
They could handle wandering ghosts and spirits of plants and trees well enough. But against a heretical cultivator with an orthodox lineage, every spirit medium outside the Hu Family would be completely helpless.
That was why the Ghost Mother Evil Goddess had dared ambush Hu Qingshan and the others while inhabiting an incomplete body.
Now her scheme had backfired spectacularly, leaving her trapped with no way out.
As the evil goddess of several thousand years drew upon her remaining strength and fought desperately against the three Immortal Spirits, her gaze kept darting toward the distance.
You little whelp! If you don’t hurry, this ancestor will truly be capsized in a gutter!
Elsewhere, Ghost Buddha Faceless cackled strangely as he pursued the fleeing baby ghost.
The blood moon hung askew, the weeping Buddha close behind.
The baby ghost born from the Ghost Mother Evil Goddess had never imagined Ghost Buddha Faceless would be so terrifying. It had nearly lost its wits in fear and only barely managed to lead him to the place the Ghost Mother Evil Goddess had specified.
Dense fog filled the way ahead. The baby ghost plunged into it and vanished.
Although Ghost Buddha Faceless had succumbed to his murderous nature, his instincts remained intact.
The fog ahead was dense with yin energy, yet there was something open and righteous about it, along with the faint majesty of an emperor.
“Kekekeke! Wretched beast, you dared destroy my senior brother’s remains. No one can protect you now!”
With a sweep of his blood-red monastic robe, he strode into the dense fog.
Inside, the view suddenly opened up.
Eight gigantic stone pillars of different heights and shapes stood in the pattern of the Eight Trigrams. At their center, they suppressed a huge black stone coffin.
The baby ghost that Ghost Buddha Faceless had chased all this way was crouching on top of the coffin, its face filled with terror.
“Kekekeke! Run again, beast! Come and receive your death!”
The ancient Buddha statue weeping tears of blood soared into the air and smashed down heavily toward the baby ghost.
The baby ghost instinctively wanted to flee, but its fear of the Ghost Mother Evil Goddess forced it to remain in place.
“You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me!”
There was a deafening crash. Yellow light surged from the eight stone pillars and caught the Buddha statue, five or six meters tall, preventing it from descending any farther.
At the same time, the Talismans suppressing the stone coffin began to flicker. Through the glow, three large characters could faintly be seen radiating black light: Bi Yuanbin.
Unfortunately, Ghost Buddha Faceless had already gone mad and noticed none of it.
“Kekekeke! Beast, you think a dead object can stop this Buddha?!”
Ghost Buddha Faceless sat cross-legged and began reciting the Buddhist Shurangama Mantra.
“Namo sadatuo, sugatuoye, aluohadi, sanmiao sanputuoxie.
“Namo sadatuo, fotuojuzhisenishan.
“Namo sapo, botuobodi, sadoubibie…”
As the scripture resounded, a faint golden light began to shine from the Buddha statue hovering behind Ghost Buddha Faceless.
When it descended again, neither the eight stone pillars nor the Talismans on the coffin reacted.
With a thunderous crash, the baby ghost was smashed into a cloud of black smoke.
Just as the smoke was about to disperse, a stream of ghostly qi emerged from the stone coffin and wrapped around it. Screaming, it fled toward Deaf Granny’s little courtyard.
Ghost Buddha Faceless froze for an instant, then immediately rose and chased after it with a savage grin.
“Kekekeke! Namo Amitabha Buddha! It is just as well you survived. Once I catch you, I will tear out your soul and refine your spirit!”
After Ghost Buddha left, the black stone coffin suddenly flew open.
A black shadow more than five meters tall soared into the sky. It was skeletal, with a grotesquely swollen belly.
“Gagagaga! A thousand years! A thousand years! The power this ancestor had sealed away is finally free!”
The black shadow howled through the air toward the Ghost Mother Evil Goddess’s statue. Before the three great spirit mediums could react, it had already merged with the statue.
In an instant, the statue seemed to come alive. Though its body remained stone, it now moved with uncanny agility.
Most terrifying of all, savage light blazed from its eyes!
