Chapter 487: The Pure-Clad Dark Heir 37

The next moment, Celestial Master Zhang took out a compass and a peachwood sword, his expression turning solemn as he prepared to deal with it.

Fortunately, he had managed to rush over this time. Otherwise, once this ghost continued devouring more wandering souls and ghosts, even he would no longer be able to suppress it.

Afterward, Celestial Master Zhang took a slight breath and began battling the wandering soul Tong with magic.

……

Inside the room.

After the wandering soul left, Jiang Yuantong clutched his neck and coughed for quite a while.

Thinking that the wandering soul would return again soon, he hurriedly picked up Tang Wan's clothes and clumsily helped her put them on.

Hmph!

He absolutely wouldn't let that bad guy see his wife's soft body!

Tang Wan woke up at this moment.

“Tongtong, is it dark outside? How long did I sleep?” Seeing how dim the room was, Tang Wan rubbed her waist and sat up.

“Wife, I don't know either, but that bad guy came over just now.” Jiang Yuantong said unhappily.

Then he hugged Tang Wan tightly and said, “He wants to come and steal my wife from me. I'm not giving my wife to him!”

……

Tang Wan's heart jolted when she heard this.

“What did you say? He already came? Then outside…”

“It suddenly became dark outside just now. I don't know what happened either.” Jiang Yuantong shook his head.

Little Cutie spoke up at this moment. “Host, this is bad! The antagonist's soul is fighting that Celestial Master!”

Hearing this, Tang Wan hurriedly threw off the covers and got out of bed.

“Tongtong, stay here in the room. I'm going out to take a look,” Tang Wan said.

If the wandering soul was provoked by Celestial Master Zhang and lost control, it would be disastrous.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuantong hurriedly followed her down as well.

“Wife, I want to go out with you too!” He had to protect his wife!

……

Tang Wan didn't bother stopping him. She grabbed her shoes and rushed toward the door.

Once she stepped outside, she saw that the courtyard was enveloped in thick black qi, with streaks of golden light occasionally flashing through it.

That golden light was obviously caused by Celestial Master Zhang.

Seeing this, Tang Wan's heart immediately tightened.

Her original plan had actually been to take advantage of the fact that the wandering soul's yin energy entering her body would harm her. Once her body could no longer endure it, she would pretend to be pitiful and persuade the wandering soul Tongtong to return to his own body.

By then, childish Tong would definitely be unable to bear seeing her continue to suffer, and would surely accept this soul of his returning to his body as well.

But who would have thought that while she was sleeping, things would suddenly turn into this mess!

……

Holding up her skirt, Tang Wan rushed into the black qi and searched everywhere for the wandering soul's location.

“Tongtong, stop fighting! Both of you, stop fighting!”

But the wandering soul had already been driven to murderous intent by Celestial Master Zhang. How could he stop so easily?

Even after hearing Tang Wan's voice, his movements did not pause in the slightest.

Celestial Master Zhang was the same.

The moment he stopped, the wandering soul would take advantage of the opening. By then, there would be even less hope of anyone subduing the wandering soul.

Thus, the man and ghost fought with ever greater ferocity, turning the entire sky above Prince Lin's residence into a scene of chaos. Waves of black qi could now be seen throughout the sky.

The common people of the capital were stunned when they saw this.

“Quick, look! Why is the sky above Prince Lin's residence filled with black smoke?”

“Ah! There are skulls too! My heavens, what is that?”

“Quick, go! Get farther away! It looks like a vicious ghost!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately fled in panic.

……

At this moment, Tang Li had just finished attending a poetry gathering at another young lady's residence and was preparing to return home.

Hearing the commotion outside, she lifted the carriage curtain and asked, “What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?”

“Miss, this is bad! I heard that a vicious ghost has appeared above Prince Lin's residence!” the maid said tremblingly.

“A vicious ghost?” Tang Li's eyes lit up.
