Chapter 1392: Chapter 878: Shocking Face (Part 3)
At the same time, through the sensing of the Human Bone Staff in his hand, Yang Xiao clearly detected a strange and chilling aura slowly emerging in the room.
Although he couldn’t see the other party for the moment, Yang Xiao was certain that a new spirit incident had occurred; the sudden darkening of the environment was proof enough.
As his peripheral vision swept across the surroundings, suddenly, he focused his gaze on the ground—the Ghost Face was gone!!
The Mirror Ghost had really done it; he used the Ghost Bamboo Stick to awaken the slumbering Ghost Face!
As the eerie feeling around him became increasingly distinct, Yang Xiao finally realized where this familiar yet strange sensation originated from.
Back then, while being hunted by the Magic Sect’s Vajra from the Dharma Sect, he had swallowed an Elixir to suppress the Good Sister, while simultaneously using the Ghost Bamboo Stick to summon the Little Holy Spirit White-Robed Mother.
Although his memory of that time was rather hazy, with this familiar sensation engulfing him, he recalled almost immediately the slaughter from back then.
In that battle, he killed over a hundred skilled practitioners from the Dharma Sect, including Ghost-level Apostles, and even injured one of the Nine Great City Lords, the Demon Sect’s Vajra.
At that time, with the emergence of the Little Holy Spirit White-Robed Mother, this same feeling enveloped the forest. The Magic Artifacts on the fallen Apostles were awakened one by one, and countless Fierce Ghosts prowled the woods, slaughtering living beings within their domains according to their own rules. The scene resembled the bloodiest hell.
"This Ghost Bamboo Stick can open a domain and awaken the Fierce Ghosts within Magic Artifacts!" At that moment, Yang Xiao fully appreciated the power of this treasure.
In fact, he had known before that this item was special; Elder Sheng had also told him so, but his spiritual power was simply too weak to harness the magic of this artifact completely.
Of course, there were technique-related factors as well. Fortunately, he had the Mirror Ghost Teacher for guidance.
Before the chilling aura could lock onto him, Yang Xiao ordered the Mirror Ghost to stop, and this time, the Mirror Ghost obediently severed its connection with the Ghost Bamboo Stick.
Seconds later, the dark aura rapidly receded around him, until with a "plop," the Ghost Face fell back onto the ground.
Yang Xiao reached out, and the Mirror Ghost returned the Ghost Bamboo Stick to him obediently. Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, patting the Mirror Ghost’s head as a reward.
Yang Xiao considered himself quite wise as well. After acquiring the Ghost Bamboo Stick, he mimicked the Mirror Ghost’s actions, repeatedly attempting until, after about 7 or 8 failures, he gradually mastered the essence. Unfortunately, given his current spiritual power, he could only influence a small area nearby.
But for this chamber, that small space sufficed. With his eyes closed, Yang Xiao clearly sensed the location of the Ghost Face, and as spiritual power continued to pour in, he could distinctly feel the "Ghost Face" gradually coming to life.
The Faceless Ghost was waking once again.
What surprised Yang Xiao even more was that he had unexpectedly established a certain inexplicable connection with the Faceless Ghost. He could feel that in the Faceless Ghost’s world, he did not exist; his position was "empty."
The other party couldn’t see him, which meant he wouldn’t be attacked; the Faceless Ghost turned and locked onto another presence in the room, besides Yang Xiao—the Mirror Ghost.
In just the blink of an eye, the Faceless Ghost dragged the Mirror Ghost into its ghostly domain, and both vanished from sight.
Though he couldn’t see them, Yang Xiao could sense that in the spot where the Mirror Ghost had stood, the space was now "empty," as if some force had forcibly "excavated" it.
Worried about the Mirror Ghost, Yang Xiao attempted to use the Ghost Bamboo Stick to sever the Faceless Ghost’s attack, but after several tries, he realized he could only awaken the Ghosts in masterless Magic Artifacts, yet could not control them. Once these Ghosts awoke, they would only act according to their own rules of slaughter.
At this rate, he was likely to lose the Mirror Ghost, a key ally. Though the Mirror Ghost couldn’t be utterly destroyed, if severely damaged, it would need a long time to recuperate, time Yang Xiao couldn’t afford to spare now.
In his urgency, Yang Xiao thought of the Ghost Lantern, concentrating his spiritual power to ignite it and shine in the direction where the Mirror Ghost had disappeared. Sure enough, the blurry darkness of that area melted away like ice and snow, revealing two figures hidden inside.
The Mirror Ghost stood rigidly in place, circles resembling targets surrounding it, with the Mirror Ghost standing at the crimson bullseye, and the Faceless Ghost inching towards it from behind.
Just like what Yang Xiao had encountered before.
This area seemed distorted; the targets were proportionally larger than the chamber’s entire space, yet they were somehow "contained" within it, like two intertwined eerie spaces.
This space had nothing to do with the Mirror World; it existed based on the Faceless Ghost, another unexplainable entity, a whole new eerie domain.
Watching the Faceless Ghost inch closer to the Mirror Ghost, Yang Xiao hesitated no more and threw the Ghost Lantern, and in the next second, the sinister green light infiltrated this bizarre space,
