“Hmph, Demonic Cultivators!” Jin Dasheng saw this and immediately gave a cold scoff, forming a spell-casting movement with his hands. A bolt of lightning immediately appeared out of thin air, striking the shadow.

With a chilling cry, the shadow was instantly blown to nothing. However, immediately after, numerous shadows began to appear from the air, flying like mosquitos drawn by blood, heading directly towards the surrounding Yu Qing students.

“Get behind me!” Jin Dasheng loudly ordered, never stopping his spell-casting. Bolts of lightning repeatedly struck the shadows, trying to protect the students, and lighting the courtyard in a limelight or electricity.

Jin Dasheng’s lighting casting was much more refined than that of Zhou Ming. is bolts were not only accurate but powerful enough to blast the shadows into nothing more than dust without harming a single one of his students. Of course, such was the bare minimum for a Jin Dan Master.

The manager of the fortress, a Foundation State student named Yue Sen, had brought out a bell-like weapon. Waves of clear ringing spread throughout the area, slowing the appearance of the shadows.

Under the protection of Jin Dasheng’s lighting spell coupled with Yue Sen’s bell, the Yu Qing students had finally made it to a congregated group behind Jin Dasheng. Jin Dasheng retracted his spell. With a swish, he opened his fan. In an instance, the cloudy fog appeared in the courtyard, covering their figures.

But at this time, there was a gasp sounded from behind Jin Dasheng.

“Where is Great Uncle? Is he still in his room?!”

Hearing this, Jin Dasheng was about to throw his fan out. How could he have forgotten such an important person!

As for Ye Zan, he wasn’t really in his room right now. He was in his dimension experimenting on the captured Bronze Terracotta Soldiers. In a place not far above him was Goldie’s house-like head, watching his movements with a curious expression.

“Alert, alert, the system has detected an unknown force entering the room where the dimension door resides.”

Ye Zan froze, immediately rising to leave the system, ordering the AI system to display the alert messages before him. Prior to entering the dimension, he had left the door partially opened to keep tabs on his surroundings; miniaturizing the opening and hiding it in a safe place. At the same time, he had also placed some observation devices in the room, such as his mechanical flies and small monitors.

Through the cameras on the mechanical flies, Ye Zan could see everything in the room from the dimension. At this time, he was shown an image of a couple of blurry shadows spiraling about his room, seeming to be searching for something. These shadows seemed to be human-like. However, they were completely sheathed in a black fog.

“Display examination results.” Ye Zan said.

Lines of messages began to appear on an almost transparent floating screen. Among them was information on the movements of the force and all sorts of statistical information on them. However, Ye Zan was not a researcher. He wasn’t particularly concerned with these things. He looked over them and read the summary.

According to what the AI system had stated, this movement of force was similar to that within the human brain. There was some energy caught in its midst; causing the substance to be rather violent.

Ye Zan was silent for a second before saying: “Next time, just tell me that this is a ghost.”

That’s right. This was the so-called “ghost” of this world; a changed form of pure wrath. This was actually the first time Ye Zan had met a ghost since entering this world. Of course, Grandmaster Xuan Yuan’s essence didn’t count.

“Yes. This force is called a ghost.” The AI assistance sounded again.

“Anything on getting rid of it?” Ye Zan asked.

With his question, the reports on the screen began to move, calculations filled the space like a waterfall. After a couple of seconds, the characters stopped moving, turning instead into plans for ghost elimination. Of them were high-pressure electrocution used to destroy their bodily structures, or microwaves used to disrupt their functions, and even using highly powered electrons to rearrange their cellular bonding.

“The easiest way?” Ye Zan asked after reading it. 

Quickly, a golden box the size of a matchbox was brought to Ye Zan by robots. This tiny box was a microwaving machine. Under the changes made by the AI system, it would be able to disrupt the forces of the ghosts.

Outside in Ye Zan’s room, the shadows were still moving around. From an unsuspecting corner, there appeared a ripple-like wave in empty space. From this, a sparkling gold box appeared, shooting from the opening into the center of the room.

The appearance of this little box immediately caught the attention of the shadows. But, as they came to surround it, their movement began to slow drastically, the black fog around them growing transparent.

The shadows desperately wrestled and shouted, but their movements were slowed and their screams silent. Like this, the shadows became transparent and almost disappeared from the room.

From where the box had appeared, the dimension’s door opened, and Ye Zan walked out. Turning to pet Goldie’s scaley nose, he said: “Good girl. It’s not the time yet. When we get back to Yu Qing, I’ll let you out.”

Closing the dimension’s door, Ye Zan walked to the center of the room and picked up the microwave, turning to walk out of the room.

But at this time, Jin Dasheng had just gathered the students behind him and had finally remembered that he had forgotten the most important person. However, when he had just prepared to move, he saw Ye Zan walk out of his room.

But, Jin Dashang was not at ease. On the contrary, he had become even more anxious, hurriedly saying: “Be careful Uncle. Don’t let those shadows…..”

Before Jin Dasheng could finish speaking, there was a crowd of shadows that darted towards Ye Zan. The scene within the room appeared once again. The shadows had increased, but there was a force-field like a boundary around Ye Zan, causing all of the shadows that neared him to act as if stuck within a mud pit.

“Eh?” A voice filled with surprise came out of the void, filling the air with a laugh, saying: “Haha, interesting. Truly interesting. It looks like that old thing Mo really does value you.”

With this sound, a huge skeletal claw appeared out of thin air, grasping for Ye Zan’s head.

At this moment, Ye Zan felt the pressure; an unshaped force, invisible, but strong enough to take his breath away. In the technological world, Ye Zan had read some fictional novels that spoke of a “presence”. He had always scoffed at such things. However, at this moment, he deeply felt that things such as “presence” could really achieve a state of substance, and cause others to feel a crushing, mountain-like pressure.
