Chapter 145 The Yellow-Haired Ghost

As Jiang Jiuyuan retreated in fright, I also stood up and extended my left foot forward. The blade that sprung from the tip of my shoe extended to the other person's neck. "You're deliberately playing the fool, aren't you?"

If a ghost didn't want you to see what it looked like when it died, it could appear in a normal state. This one crawled out like that just to scare people.

The blade at the tip of my shoe was already pressed against the other person's neck, but the ghost didn't seem to know that the blade had already cut his throat. He still climbed towards Jiang Jiuyuan like a madman.

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck me. "Xiao Jiu, get out of here, quick!"

Jiang Jiuyuan turned around and rushed out the door almost without any hesitation.

As Jiang Jiuyuan moved, the ghost lying on the ground suddenly burst up and reached for Jiang Jiuyuan's waist.

At the same time, the blade at the tip of my shoe also slashed from the ghost's throat all the way down to his lower abdomen. The ghost, which had already shot into the air, exploded into phosphorescent fire under the blade in an instant.

As the eerie green fire scattered and fell, the corner of my eye caught sight of Jiang Jiuyuan standing straight at the door. Another figure was clearly standing in front of her. By the time I saw that person, he had already placed his hand on Jiang Jiuyuan's shoulder.

In the next instant, the knife in my hand was suddenly drawn. From several meters away, the blade flashed past Jiang Jiuyuan's ear and pointed at the center of the other person's eyebrows, piercing straight through the back of his head. The suddenly appearing ghost exploded in an instant under my blade. Jiang Jiuyuan staggered back two steps before steadying herself.

I turned my head to look at Jiang Jiuyuan. "Are you alright?"

"I'm... I'm fine..." Jiang Jiuyuan shook her head with a pale face. "She just touched me. It shouldn't be a problem!"

"Oh!" I walked to Jiang Jiuyuan's side without a word, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder. The force emanating from my fingertips was like five sharp knives, directly tearing through Jiang Jiuyuan's clothes.

By the time I retracted my hand, I had already torn open the clothes on her shoulder, exposing Jiang Jiuyuan's snow-white shoulder before my eyes.

I casually took a jacket from my backpack and threw it to Jiang Jiuyuan. "Put it on!"

"You..." Jiang Jiuyuan's eyes welled up with tears of grievance, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

I slowly walked towards the window, and suddenly reached out and grabbed towards the outside of the window. With a clenching of my fingers, I forcibly pulled a ghost with yellow hair out of thin air.

I lifted the ghost and said in a cold voice, "Are you underestimating me too much? I may not be able to see ghosts and gods, but can't I see a ghost like you? Who are you?"

The other person struggled. "My name is Hou Qian. Friend, please have mercy!"

Jiang Jiuyuan said in a low voice, "He's the Monkey King from back then. He's very famous in the world of thieves."

Hou Qian? Monkey King? Is he the one who stole the Golden Pagoda and was stuffed into the iron pagoda?

Although Hou Qian had a head of yellow hair, he was quite handsome.

The nickname Monkey King probably came from that.

I casually dragged the other person in front of me, staring at him face to face at close range. The Monkey King was the ghost that I had recorded with my phone.

Holding the Monkey King in one hand, I took out a spirit talisman in the other and waved it in the air. A dark green flame instantly ignited on the talisman. My palm then flipped upwards, holding the flame in my hand. "You should know what this is, right? You also know what effect Yin Fire has on a ghost? I don't need to say anything more, do I?"

Hou Qian hesitated for only a moment before the Yin Fire in my hand, driven by true qi, transformed into a sharp cone and pierced into his eye.

Hou Qian screamed sharply and almost broke free from my grasp, but I still pressed him firmly to the ground.

Dragging the Yin Fire, I said coldly, "You used that eye to scare me, so I'll burn one of your eyes first. If you play any more tricks on me, I'll burn you inch by inch with Yin Fire."

Hou Qian cried out, "What are you going to do? You have to tell me, right?"

I said in a deep voice, "Back then, during the Pagoda Bearing Assembly, why did you steal the Golden Pagoda? And how did you die under the iron pagoda?"

As I spoke, I suddenly released my grip and threw Hou Qian to the ground. The Yin Fire in my left hand also shot towards the ground. The dark green firelight, like a spirit snake, coiled around Hou Qian's ghost, and with a burst of fire, it trapped Hou Qian within the fire circle.

Hou Qian's expression changed several times, until he was sure that he couldn't escape this fire circle, before he resigned himself to sitting down. "Back then, I knew that someone was holding a Pagoda Bearing Assembly in Pagoda City, and I knew that people from the world of thieves were doing business here, so I wanted to come and see if I could get some profit."

"But I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Pagoda City, I would be stopped. The person who stopped me said his name was Huo Tang."

Hearing this, my eyes suddenly narrowed. "The Huo Tang you're talking about, is he a person or a ghost?"

"Probably... probably a ghost!" Hou Qian said, "When I first arrived in Pagoda City, he reached out from behind the city gate and pulled me over. You know, pulling someone from behind means either they're an accomplice or an opponent."

"I stabbed backwards with my knife at the time. I clearly felt like I had stabbed someone with that knife. But when I turned around to look, there wasn't a single wound on that person. He even told me to follow him!"
