Chapter 68: Hidden Ghost Elder
This was a trick Yun Qin discovered when she was dealing with Yun Rou and her mother. Every time she remembered events from her previous life and became emotionally unstable, she would become a ghost with a human body.
As expected, after Yun Qin turned into a human-body ghost, she was able to touch her evil energy.
Thus, Yun Qin used her evil energy to form stairs and walked up the tree step by step to the wood house.
Seeing Yun Qin’s appearance turn ferocious and terrifying and evil energy was emitting from her body, a few hidden ghosts under the tree was bewildered.
The little black furball, who the other hidden ghosts were watching, also had a conflicted look on its face. With its limited knowledge, it could not explain what was happening to Yun Qin.
Obviously, after discovering that Yun Qin might be a ghost, the hidden ghosts all let out a sigh of relief.
As for Yun Qin, when she entered the treehouse, she was confused.
The door was shut, and she only detected a trace of weak evil energy inside. Its power level was not much different than an underage hidden ghost.
“Hello? Is the elder here?”
Yun Qin knocked on the wooden door, wondering if the elder was not at home.
Then, a weak voice came from inside, “Please come in. My body is weak and I cannot get up. Please forgive me.”
After Yun Qin pushed the wooden door open, she saw the situation.
A snow-white hidden ghost was lying in a corner. The evil energy on its body was weak and it seemed to be on its last breath.
“You…” Yun Qin wanted to say something but stopped. Since the hidden ghost elder was already in such a state, no wonder she had to come up herself.
“It’s surprising, right? In the hidden ghost clan, I’m a very, very old man.”
Yun Qin once again sensed the evil energy on its body and discovered that this hidden ghost lost the ability to absorb evil energy. Moreover, there was a wound on its soul, and power was slowly seeping out from this wound.
Seeing Yun Qin’s worried expression, the hidden ghost elder paused for a moment and said, “I heard that you brought a little black fur fellow and wanted to ask about the things here. I thought about it and decided to have them bring you in.”
“I wanted to…”
The elder spoke with great difficulty. He had to rest every few words and recover some strength before he could continue speaking.
Seeing that he was so weak, Yun Qin immediately went forward and said, “Please give me a moment, I have a way.”
Then, she gently transferred some of her evil energy into the elder’s body.
Feeling the life force in his body getting more abundant, the elder said surprisingly, “You are… wait, you have the Soul Bead on you?”
“What is a Soul Bead?”
Seeing that elder had enough strength to speak, Yun Qin stopped transferring and raised her head to ask.
Seeing Yun Qin’s sincere and puzzled look, the elder felt helpless. “You don’t even know what it is, and yet, you dare to absorb it into your body?”
Yun Qin was confused. “I don’t…wait!”
Could it be that the Soul Bead was that blue bead?! It was in her body?!
“No, it disappeared the moment I touched it. I didn’t expect it to enter my body.”
Hearing this, the elder raised his eyes and looked at Yun Qin for a long time. Then he slowly said, “Regarding this Soul Bead, I heard from the previous elder of the clan that it was born in this mountain range, but it is extremely evil. Not only does it contain tremendous power, but it can also absorb all the ghosts nearby. Although there is a lot of evil energy here because of this bead, this place is more like a trap.”
“I don’t know how many creatures this bead attracted here and how many killed each other. Unfortunately, they all became nourishment for this bead in the end.”
“Then, do I have any way to take it out?” Yun Qin was still fearful of the vast power she felt when she touched the bead and immediately asked.
The elder shook his head and said, “It’s not that it hasn’t been taken away before, but it always comes back on its own in the end. I once saw a person…he stole the bead but was devoured by the power until there was nothing left of him. You must either tame it or wait for death.”
Yun Qin did not expect that these were her only options. She could not accept what she heard at the moment. However, she still had one last advantage: the ability that Hades gave her to absorb evil energy.
Since she could absorb more than half of the evil energy in the soul-capturing array, she wondered if she could absorb this Soul Bead?
According to the instructions the elder gave her, Yun Qin finally found this small blue bead that was hiding in her consciousness.
It floated in Yun Qin’s consciousness that was full of evil energy. It looked harmless, but it didn’t absorb the evil energy in Yun Qin’s body.
However, when Yun Qin tried to sense the power in it, she was shocked by the vast power it contained, so she quickly withdrew.
