307 Not the lost emperor

The thing's whimpering voice vanished after calling Shao Li Jun but it didn't give up. One by one everyone in the group closed their eyes and closed their ears, the boys were still better than the girls because at least they stayed on their feet even after being tormented by the thing, but Mei Xing and Fan Ehuang dropped to their knees as they closed their eyes and looked anywhere but at the thing that was flailing on the ground.

Song Yan tilted her head and looked at the ghost that was possessing Ki Yiqian and snorted, " Are you done? If you can't sense it …I will tell you that I am in a hurry and you are wasting my time."

There was no hint of fear in Song Yan's eyes, though she had used most of her Yin energy earlier to save Fan Ehuang, she was confident enough to know that she would take this ghost down. She stepped closer to the tied Li Yiqian and her pouting full lips curled into a disdainful smile, " And here I came running to this tomb to see that some great secret was hiding in here but it's only you, what a waster of my time."

Li Yiqian let out a thundering scream as his limbs flailed and twisted trying to get out of the golden strings but no matter how many times the ghost twisted the golden strings didn't budge. Finally realising that it was in big trouble, the ghost opened its mouth to shoot the poisonous arrows at Song Yan.

Swiftly realising what the ghost was trying to do, Song Yan joined her hands as if she was praying, she started chanting a spell and the ring on her hand glowed as numerous ancient words shot out of the ring forming a long chain of golden words as they revolved around her before instantly forming a long golden rope and shot right at the thing beneath Song Yan before covering Li Yiqian like an ancient mummy.

Sounds of bones popping echoed in the hall along with the ghost's screams as it flailed around even while tied until nothing except its demonic eyes were visible. It opened its eyes and looked at Song Yan with hatred and shook his head trying to get rid of the golden coffin that was trying to bury it.

Song Yan smiled as she raised her feet and stomped on Li Yiqian's chest as she sneered, " In this world, the thing that I hate the most is being made a fool… you and that thing dared to poke fun at me like this? If I don't take you down then I wouldn't be able to calm the anger that I am feeling in my heart."

She changed the formation of her hand and the golden chains that were bounding the ghost thing glowed even brighter until the thing couldn't bear the pain anymore. With a shake of Li Yiqian's head, it flew out of the body like a mist of black smoke, it flew around the closed box banging its smoky body against the golden walls but no matter how many times it tried to escape, it couldn't run out. At the end with a loud roar, it turned its head to look at Song Yan.

Its hollow black eyes glowed maliciously as it shot towards Song Yan who didn't even move from the spot where she was standing, she simply changed her gun back to her scythe and waited for the thing to approach her, when it got closer, Song Yan swung the scythe at it.

The ghost realised the danger and tried to dodge the scythe's blade but this time, it couldn't get far away as the many souls captured by the blade of the scythe emerged out of it one by one, multiple black smoky hands stretched out of the blade and dragged the ghost back…this time no matter how hard the thing tried to escape it couldn't escape the hungry spirits trapped in the scythe's blade.

Once the ghost was dragged back by the spirits trapped in the scythe's blade, Song Yan twisted her wrists and swiped the blade of the scythe cutting the ghost in two halves before letting the excessive yin energy be sucked into the black blade of the scythe.

The temperature of the hall returned to normal and the golden walls that were binding Song Yan and Li Yiqian dropped along with the ones that were protecting Tao Guotin and others. Once the walls were gone, Fu Yu Shen along Tao Guotin rushed to Song Yan and then looked at the very pale Li Yiqian who was lying on the ground.

" Second sister in law, is he okay…?" asked Tao Guotin as he dropped to Li Yiqian's side and placed his head on his chest. On the side others waited with bated breath as they looked at pallid-looking Li Yiqian and then the worried-looking Tao Guotin before Shao Li Jun summoned the courage and said, " Is he alive …he is not dead is he?"

"No, No…his heart is beating, it's faint but it's thumping… he is still alive," Tao Guotin hurriedly answered as he looked at Song Yan who was frowning with distaste as she crouched down and took the necklace off Li Yiqian's neck and then set it ablaze with the slight touch of her fingers.

The necklace melted at once before it dropped to the ground in a disgusting black sticky liquid.

" I came here for nothing to think that the thing made a fool out of me like this," Song Yan looked at the molten necklace and turned to look at Fu Yu Shen and Tao Guotin with annoyance flickering in her eyes. "Let's go before something comes looking for us, I am not prepared to take it down yet."

Her words rendered everyone speechless as they all looked at Li Yiqian and the molten necklace before Fu Yu Shen looked at Song Yan and said, " But the bigger threat is over isn't it second sister-in-law? The lost emperor is gone right?"

Song Yan turned to look at Fu Yu Shen with a sneer as she said, " Have you ever  heard about a servant leaving the Emperor behind?" When Fu Yu Shen shook his head then Song Yan scoffed, " Then how can a ghost slave whose essence is linked to its master leave first? That thing wasn't the lost emperor."
