CHAPTER 45: SECTION 31: ARE THEY HOLDING A SACRIFICE RITUAL? (3)

The surface of the artificial lake shook violently, splashing water everywhere.

The scene was quite impressive.

But the headmaster had a furrowed brow and was drenched in sweat. His figure flickered around, inspecting the area within two kilometers.

Seeing the headmaster’s frantic silhouette...

Xu Ran: "..." He took a deep breath and recounted the saddest moments of his life, to avoid giving himself away.

A short while later.

The headmaster returned empty-handed, landing in front of the female guards: "Have any of you sensed the birth of ghostly entities?"

The female guards looked puzzled: "Ghostly entities? Headmaster, we are all Mountain Realm Cultivators. At the time ghostly entities are born, we cannot sense them. Only when they are fully formed can we discover them and fight them."

"Have you seen any suspicious phenomena?"

Female Guard: "Suspicious phenomena? Headmaster, with the seven of us guarding here, there are no blind spots, and we haven’t seen anything suspicious."

Headmaster: "..."

The report from the group of female guards made him even more anxious!

It must be an extremely bizarre high-tier ghostly entity!!

Seeing the headmaster’s unusual actions and behavior, Mom couldn’t help but ask curiously: "Headmaster, what happened?"

Aunt Chen: "Yes, we’ve been here and nothing seems to have happened. It’s been very peaceful."

The headmaster’s face was stern: "I won’t explain for now. Everyone stay where you are and don’t move. We are now in a state of emergency alert. Let me handle this!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

the headmaster made numerous phone calls, putting the entire Demigod Kindergarten on high alert.

"Child, how are you doing over there?"

Li Qinghong’s voice was clear and cold: "All four on my side have been dealt with. These ghosts haven’t fully formed, so it’s quite easy to kill them. I even used the purification talisman to completely purify the ghost energy. How is it on your side, headmaster?"

The headmaster’s face was ashamed: "..."

So it’s just on my side that one got away, right?

Out of sixteen, he, Li Qinghong, and two other mentors all perceived sixteen nascent ghostly presences.

Four per person.

Within thirty seconds. All could be eliminated before they fully formed.

But...but...only he’s encountering problems here!

How could this be? I, Cheng Qi, have always been so wise!

Li Qinghong queried: "Headmaster?"

The headmaster was drenched in sweat: "I... I have one ghostly entity missing! It seems to have formed very quickly and has an extremely frightening ability to hide. I’ve dug ten feet down at the lake bottom and found no trace of it."

Li Qinghong was surprised: "What? That can’t be possible, can it? How would these ghosts have the capability to vanish?"

The headmaster’s expression was tense: "But I really can’t find any trace. It’s too bizarre."

Li Qinghong: "I’ll come to see!"

"No, don’t come. You stay there and keep an eye on the kids. If it’s a trick to draw you away, that would be troublesome."

"The safety of the children is paramount. I’ll call on friends with Light Element Root Bone to thoroughly inspect the area."

The headmaster furrowed his brow and made calls for reinforcements.

"Lu Ya, it’s extremely urgent, come over quickly. A ghostly entity vanished right under my nose."

Lu Ya was shocked: "Huh? How could that be? Could it be"

Headmaster: "It’s true, I clearly sensed its birth. The other three mentors also sensed its signs, but within ten seconds, it disappeared completely. I’ve thoroughly searched the area and found nothing."

Lu Ya took a deep breath: "Wait a moment, I’ll be right there."

Xu Ran: "..."

Watching the headmaster’s urgent and flustered state, Xu Ran was nearly overwhelmed with stifled laughter.

Sweating profusely, everyone...

Was it because I killed too fast, too cleanly, causing the headmaster at Demigod Kindergarten to start an intellectual battle with the air?
