《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 116: Slave Ghost
Advertisement
Luan might as well have let them take away what was buried and follow them, but he didn't make that choice. These people were already as strong as 60 ordinary men. If there was a leader, it may be that he was a Second Order existence. Without preparing, Luan had no complete confidence in killing anyone in the Second Order for now.
'I'm going to let them get away from this place at least, or else these people are going to get caught in the crossfire,' Luan said in his mind. He also intended to kill and obtain information from these two people, so this was the safest way.
Watching them go, and getting into a police car, Luan remained hidden and started chasing their car at an alarming speed as he ran.
When the car that Luan was chasing left the highway, and realizing that they had arrived in a more isolated place with buildings and empty streets, Luan acted!
*Boom!*
Luan appeared in front of the police car and with both hands, he stopped the car.
"Go over him, don't let him stop us!" Seeing that he was not a normal person, the woman beside the man who was driving screamed.
"I am trying, but he is very strong!" the man screamed in frustration.
"Reverse! We have to escape!" The woman knew that if the crystal with vengeful souls fell into someone else's hands, their faction could have serious problems, especially their Lord.
*Bang!*
Of course, Luan heard what they were saying, and before the man could back up, he punched the hood of the car hard and destroyed the engine. Flames broke out and the car looked like it would explode at any moment.
Luan's eyes never wavered. He saw the woman handing over the crystal with vengeful souls. The two got out of the car and the man ran and the woman went against Luan.
The moment the woman arrived in front of Luan, she wrapped her foot in Qi and kicked high in the direction of Luan's head.

"Humph!" He snorted and with his left hand wrapped in Qi he defended against the kick and with his right hand covered with negative Qi, he went towards the woman's chest and pierced through, puncturing the heart and that was it.
The woman was unbelieving. She didn't expect Luan to be as strong. At most she figured he was as strong as they were, but she was wrong.
Not wanting to waste time, Luan threw the woman's body in the car that was about to explode and ran in the direction that the man had run away.
Perhaps because he felt his partner had died, the man broke into a house and tried to hide.
Luan, feeling the presence of the man who ran away with the crystal of vengeful souls, increased the reach of his extra sensory perception. Once Luan had erased his tracks, before the man could even sigh in relief, Luan suddenly appeared in front of him in the tool room where he had hidden himself.
Picking up a shovel, the man tried to use it as a weapon.
Luan, who had a sword, found it laughable but saw no need to use the sword against this man. Although he needed to use Qi, as he wished to avoid leaving a trail.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" the man, swallowing his nervousness, asked.
It wasn't as if he expected Luan to answer. The moment he asked that question, it was also the moment that he kicked the ground and boosted his speed and with the raised spade, he got involved with ghost Qi and attacked!
*Pracc!*
The shovel broke into pieces the moment Luan held it with his left hand and squeezed it tightly. Then he took the man's neck and intended to interrogate him.
"You are going to have a... horrible death when my Lord finds out who you are!" In saying this, the man did something that even Luan had not anticipated.

There was poison inside the man's body, and it was released the moment the man said that, and he died.
Luan kept the vengeful soul crystal in his pocket which he had taken from the man, and then he tried to do a soul search on the man's soul.
"I will not let you do that!"
"Mhm?" Even though it had been able to escape Luan's perception, a shadowed ghost shouted in a sinister voice. He only realized its presence when it reached 300 meters from his extra sensory perception.
'Second Order...' This surprised Luan quite a bit. If it were a person, he would have understood, but a ghost?
Luan noticed that this ghost was linked to another being even more powerful than the ghost. He asked in a sinister voice, modified by the mask, "Are you a slave ghost?"
The slave ghost did not answer. He passed through Luan and pulled away the soul of the man on which Luan intended to do a soul search, and before Luan could do anything, the slave ghost fled through the air at a very fast speed.
Luan used Qi and tried to chase him, but the slave ghost was even faster than he was in the sky. Luan might have been fast on the ground, but if he was in the air, the ghost was even faster than him.
On top of a roof, without worrying about the voices of people who saw some unbelievable things happen, Luan hid his presence and disappeared under the sight of some people who managed to see him.
After getting very close to his house, Luan used his extra sensory perception very cautiously. He didn't know if the enemy could follow him with ghosts without him realizing, so he was very cautious. Luan wandered the district for almost 1 hour. Sighing, Luan thought to himself, 'At least I got this.'
In Luan's hand was the crystal with the vengeful souls. Luan was not proficient in flames, but he still managed to use negative Qi to purify the crystal and purify all of the souls' resentment and make it pure again. Then, Luan released the souls to enter the circle of reincarnation.
[Thanks!]
[Thank you, hero.]
[Thank you very much, hero!]
Despite Luan wearing a scary mask, the souls that were purified and released by Luan began to disappear while thanking him for purifying and releasing them. Although they did not understand very well, they knew that they were saved. Before, they felt like they were in a dark place where they were in torture and resenting whoever had done this to them, but now, they felt at peace.
Luan only left when the children's souls disappeared. Sighing, Luan put the crystal in his back pocket. Although this crystal had been used for something so evil, if Luan broke the formation and re-created it, it could turn into a Qi crystal.
Even at the late hour when Luan got home, Maira, Ingrid, Catharina, and even Cristina were still awake. Seeing that Luan returned safe, they hugged him and were silent for a while until Maira said, "We were very worried! I am happy that you are well."
"Yes, I'm back." Luan comforted them and said, "I had a setback, and it took longer than I expected..."
Luan explained to them what had happened. He hid nothing, not even the existence of a slave ghost who was in the Second Order.
"It seems that your concern came true. In fact, there was someone powerful who was behind it." Maira sighed with regret. It was sad to imagine that someone so strong was cultivating revengeful souls of people, even supporting cannibals to get more revengeful souls.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
