Zheng Boding suddenly saw a dark shadow formed by a gathering of black smoke in front of him. The shadow seemed like a living entity, struggling in mid-air. With a turn of its head, what seemed to be its mouth suddenly opened wide to reveal a gaping maw, darting towards Zong Yunqian's direction.
Zong Yunqian swiftly spun around, deftly avoiding the Ghost Shadow, and at the same time, a streak of golden light flew out. The Ghost Shadow let out a terrifying, piercing shriek and struggled back into the body of the boy.
"Ghoul—" Prince Duan stammered, barely getting out a single word.
"A ghoul— " Housekeeper He already shouted himself hoarse, grabbing Prince Duan and yanking him away in a staggering retreat.
Elder Can was startled, then suddenly panicked and let out a loud shout, much like Housekeeper He had.
"You, what kind of ghostly mess have you created?" Elder Can pointed at Zong Yunqian, "You want to murder our Young Master, I will fight you—"
