Chapter 1456: Fighting the demonic spirit

Compared to many hypocritical students of their mother, Song Yan seemed better.

Thus they readily agreed to whatever arrangement their sister-in-law came up with.

Even going as far as opening the biggest guest room for Song Yan.

This was also one of the reasons why Song Yan was willing to help Madam Lin. Even though she did something wrong, she was a good woman by heart and her family was just as kind.

It wasn\'t her fault that her kindness was being reciprocated in this way.

That night, Song Yan stayed back at the Lin house and sent a message to Fu Yu Sheng, to tell him that she wouldn\'t be coming home tonight.

Although she was in an unfamiliar place, Song Yan did not stop cultivating as the demonic spirit that she was going to face was rather strong.

Around two thirty in the morning, she vaguely heard the sound of something dragging itself outside.

Fortunately, her senses were sharp and she hurriedly threw a talisman to turn herself invisible. The talisman that she used was an S-grade one thus, it even masked her scent causing the room to turn completely empty as if no one was staying inside of it.

The sound of dragging got closer and closer, and it came to a stop in front of Song Yan\'s room. With a light push, the door of her room was pushed open with a creaking sound which sounded inexplicably eerie under the silence of the night.

Song Yan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the strange thing that stepped inside her room. In the past, she couldn\'t see it clearly but with her cultivation getting better, she could see the true form of this demonic spirit.

Her entire body was charred, with blackened flesh peeling off the burned bones. Her eyeballs were a brilliant shade of black and there were a few strands of hair on the top of the spirit\'s head. It looked hideous, cruel and creepy.

Song Yan controlled her breathing and heartbeat as she watched the thing drag its melted feet to the bed and stand there for a while. For two seconds, the thing did nothing and simply

watched but then--

A strange clicking sound like the chattering of teeth echoed in the room which caused Song Yan\'s face to scrunch up. It was simply terrifying.

The sound made her toes curl and an instinct to scream and hide rose in her heart which was weird as Song Yan did not fear this demonic spirit but somehow, that spirit made her fear it.

The demonic spirit raised her charred hands and Song Yan noticed the long and sharp knife in the hand of the thing. She watched in shock as the demonic spirit brought the knife down without hesitation, the movement was precise and clean as if she had done it many times.

"One stab...two stab...the lovely third stab oh oh oh, blood drips down the whites, turning it red oh oh oh," the demonic spirit sang with each stab. And even though her eyes were completely dark with not an ounce of white in them, Song Yan could see that there was something wrong with that thing.

The wild and satisfied glint in the eyes of the demonic spirit was clear.

However, the demonic spirit soon stopped. With the dagger embedded in the blanket, it huffed and puffed before raising its hand jerkily and pulling the blanket down.

The person it wanted to kill was gone!

Click. Click. Click.

The sound of teeth chattering in the room echoed again but this time around it was filled with irritation.

Song Yan watched as the spirit dragged its feet outside the room. When the door closed, Song Yan narrowed her eyes, she waited for the demonic spirit to leave before she followed after it.

Although she was confident, she still followed that spirit from afar.

Song Yan caught the demonic spirit stopping in front of Lin Sui\'s room. Seeing that the thing had stopped she also did not make a move to attack it for the time being as Song Yan was trying to gouge its cultivation level.

She did not want to rush things as it was not the correct time to do so.

She thought that the thing was going to attack Lin Sui but instead of attacking Lin Sui, that demonic spirit walked over to Director Lin and Jun Yue\'s bedroom.

The demonic spirit deftly opened the room of the two before it entered. The door opened with a light creak as the demonic spirit pushed it.

Director Lin and Jun Yue were sleeping soundly on the big king-size bed. Compared to Director Lin, Jun Yue was much sharper as she was once a mother and would wake up at the smallest noise her children made.

She heard the sound of the door opening and propped herself up, when she noticed that the door was indeed opened, she kicked her husband and said to him, "Close the door if you open it."

However, Director Lin did not open his eyes nor did he wake up. He was like a log of wood who wouldn\'t wake up even if he was pushed off the bed.

Jun Yue was also very sleepy and wanted to ignore the door which was left open but as she was preparing to lie back on the bed, when Jun Yue suddenly felt a chill climb up her spine as if she was being watched by something.

What was more, the more she stayed awake the more clear her memory became and she realised that she had closed and locked the door.

So how did the door open? With her husband\'s sleeping habits, once he fell asleep he would

not wake up.

And if her husband did not open the door, then who did?

Her entire body stiffened and her face turned green. Jun Yue did not know what was going on but for some reason, she felt that there was something wrong. She raised her head and looked at the door, even though she wanted to close it, Jun Yue did not have the guts to do so. She thought about going back to sleep when the sound of something dragging on the floor echoed in the room. Jun Yue\'s pupils constricted. Because the sound came from the front! She raised her head and looked at the dark shadow in front of her. The burned figure, which was completely charred until it turned black, twisted her lips into a sinister smile and yelled, "Die!"

The sharp dagger came down and Jun Yue was scared silly. She wanted to scream but the scream was lodged in her throat and she couldn\'t even make a sound. She was so scared that her mind went completely blank and her whole body started to tremble.

She could only stare at the dagger which was about to reach her face.

However before it could hurt her, a golden light flashed in the room and a glittering whip slashed at the hand that was holding the dagger.

The dagger flew to one side while the demonic spirit let out an angry scream.

The demonic spirit was not the only one who screamed, Jun Yue who couldn\'t make the sound finally snapped out of her daze when she realised that she had escaped a life-threatening

situation.

The scream that was stuck in her throat was released and she screamed so loud that it jolted Director Lin awake.

Director Lin\'s ears were hurting due to the scream of his wife. He was about to ask what was going on but then he saw Song Yan flash inside the room as she shouted, "Director Lin, Sister-

in-law Jun run!"

At first, Directo Lin did not understand. Why did he need to run that was until he turned his head and looked at Jun Yue. His wife was trembling while staring at a woman who was

completely burnt.

She was smiling at them sinisterly, the sight alone was enough to make Director Lin throw everything aside as he caught hold of his wife and dragged her out of the room.

His reaction was quick but his trembling betrayed his fear. This was his first time seeing a ghost so closely and Director Lin was certain that he did not want to see it ever again. His lips were trembling but he couldn\'t scream out like his wife.

While the two of them ran out of the room, Song Yan was fighting the demonic spirit.

Song Yan did not want to jump the gun like this but when had anything gone according to her

plan?
