Chapter 321: The Evil God Bai Yu
They say that beautiful women are often very dangerous, and, oddly enough, the same can be said for female ghosts. When you encounter a stunning female ghost, chances are she’s plotting to drain your vital energy or lure you into a beautiful trap—then off with your head!
But after ruling out those two options, there’s only one special case left: Bai Yu.
She’s just really pretty. As for killing, she doesn’t need to seduce anyone; just one thought will do.
“ROAR!” An evil spirit manifested, swirling up large chunks of shattered limbs and debris into the air, forming a monstrous creature of flesh and bl**d.
This was the evil spirit attached to the vice president, and it wasn’t weak.
He had already warned everyone not to engage any evil spirits unless ordered, but now, quite frankly, they were at their wits’ end. If they didn’t use someone, they’d all be dead anyway—who cares about rules at this point?
Bai Yu paused for just a moment. Suddenly, over a dozen bl**d threads shot up from the ground right in front of her, piercing the evil spirit’s body in an instant.
The evil spirit thrashed wildly, trying to tear apart the bl**d threads impaling it, but to no avail. If even the Dragon Lady struggled against those threads, there was no way this spirit would manage to break free.
The bl**d threads and tentacles behind her coiled together, forming a compact sphere before suddenly exploding outward. The expanding tentacles sliced through everything like blades in a meat grinder, and before the Tianfa Sect members present could even catch their breath, they were reaped again.
Those so-called reflective protective suits had become a burden, limiting both their movement and visibility.
The key was that they were primarily responsible for holding the line, and all their efforts had gone into survival. Not only were their reflective suits reinforced, but their goggles were specially treated to block out light. And let’s not even start on their weaponry, which was so limited it hardly counted as armament.
Pfft!
bl**d threads sliced through several people at the waist. The already overwhelming stench of bl**d intensified as multiple body parts thudded to the ground, creating a chaotic mess.
At this point, “holding the line” was out the window. The nearest Tianfa Sect members were either cowering in corners or lying flat on the ground, too terrified to even look up.
From their perspective, the tentacles and bl**d threads swept through the area, easily carving into even the toughest concrete walls, as if they were butter. The load-bearing walls caved in without resistance, feeling more like tofu under those monstrous appendages.
They felt as if the floor might collapse beneath them. If it had been a human, they would have become a meat paste for sure.
It was clear she was just toying with them.
As for controlling the red-clothed spirits they summoned? That didn’t happen at all. Bai Yu simply scoffed at the idea of controlling any spirits; she’d k*ll one just as easily as the next.
Just like the evil spirit before them, usually treated like royalty, begging for mercy as it was about to be transformed into a meatball—there was no fight left in it, only submission.
The power gap was just too giant.
The evil spirit couldn’t even see a glimmer of hope, only hopelessness and despair.
Want to live? Just beg for mercy.
Bai Yu wasn’t having any of it. Her indifferent gaze remained unchanged as she drove her tentacles deep into the evil spirit’s body, voraciously absorbing its essence until it was empty.
The second and third teams of the Tianfa Sect had finally joined the fray.
They had no choice; ten minutes had been promised for the first team to make a move, but within just three minutes, they were already overwhelmed.
The remaining ten or so members crumpled to the ground, prostrating themselves, continually chanting praises for the Black Sun.
The chants they had learned from the evil spirit followers now became their lifeline.
Seeing this, the morale in the second and third teams plummeted even further.
They had taken every precaution—the reflective suits custom-made at great expense, all ready for battle. They even had a defensive formation set up.
But unexpectedly, the Black Sun Goddess hadn’t even unleashed her curses yet, and their people were already on the ground praising her.
That was the ultimate sign of a complete psychological breakdown.
They simply couldn’t handle the pressure of being potentially killed at any moment. Especially witnessing the horrific fates of their comrades, every corpse served to heighten their survival instincts.
Bai Yu halted, a pair of pitch-black wings sprouting from her back as she slowly floated into the air.
To everyone present, she truly looked like a divine being—albeit a sinister one.
The evil goddess’s beautiful, enticing appearance was countered by foreboding black wings, a malevolent aura, and a ground strewn with severed limbs and bl**d. Her icy heart displayed no regard for life; killing countless people was as insignificant to her as squashing a mound of ants.
Such a foe was genuinely terrifying; she exhibited no sympathy, only a relentless extermination.
The ten or so evil spirits she summoned, upon being illuminated, instantly turned against her and began attacking indiscriminately, creating utter chaos.
Ironically, the protective gear actually proved effective this time, as the evil spirits were controlled while they suffered little consequence.
Bai Yu didn’t need knives; she continued using her bl**d threads and tentacles to sweep over every Tianfa Sect member.
This was mainly about practice and adaptation.
Her recent upgrades had been quite rapid, being an unfamiliar method of attack, diverging from her usual development path. Therefore, she still needed some period of adjustment.

“This is ruthless, Bai Yu…,” Zhao Mingyue frowned as she watched Bai Yu slaughter so many in such a short time, and it wasn’t over yet!
Though she was well-acquainted with Bai Yu’s temperament, seeing such a spectacle elicited something from her heart—it was impossible not to feel something.
But she didn’t comment further; this bunch was here to k*ll Bai Yu, only to find that she was tougher than they had anticipated.
If they could surround Bai Yu, she could just as easily wipe them out.
“Get used to it. I told you before, when Bai Yu is with you, it’s like a different person from when she’s not,” the Dragon Lady set down her binoculars, sighing. “Especially in battle—she goes all out, and I can’t say I wouldn’t bow down in defeat.”
“Exactly! So she seems gentle at times, cooking and washing for you, even allowing you to hug her close. But the real Bai Yu is far beyond what you see! Let’s just say this scene is just a warm-up; it’s only over a hundred people after all.”
“I sometimes envy you; it’s as if she turns into another person in front of you, which means she really cares—just doesn’t know how to express it,” the Dragon Lady winked.
Zhao Mingyue let her binoculars drop, her expression quirky. “That I knew, but I didn’t think to see it from this angle!”
“Of course!”
“Impressive, as usual,” Zhao Mingyue shook her head. “But back to the point: Bai Yu has changed so much! Was she always using knives? Now she’s all about tentacles; she hasn’t even lifted a finger! Are these still evil spirits? Have they already transformed into something else?”
“Of course, they’re still spirits. It’s just that her physical strength has significantly increased; fundamentally, there’s not much change. You can just think of her body density as higher now.”
“Ah, I see! I was beginning to think her change was too drastic. Does this present her any disadvantages, then?”
“None. Even if there are, they can be ignored. Just know that for Bai Yu, enhancing her physical strength is all that matters; everything else is just decoration—not even that, as she has some power left in her when alive; it’s just that she cannot fully showcase it yet.”
“Got it!” Zhao Mingyue nodded, raising her binoculars again. “The gatekeepers haven’t engaged yet, just destroying Bai Yu’s bl**d threads.”
“Those poor unfortunate souls,” the Dragon Lady chuckled, “This time their chairman came in person—guess they’re destined to d*e. That chairman is really adept at stepping on landmines; he never fails to miscalculate!”
“I believe we’re better off without killing those gatekeepers.”
“Why’s that?” Zhao Mingyue queried.
“To put it simply, it’s all about yin-yang balance. You and Bai Yu can feast and leave, but the Ghost Gate remains here, giving rise to continuous streams of spirits, both strong and weak. Without the gatekeepers and the Tianfa Sect to restrain them, those spirits could easily spiral out of control.”
“True, that could be a real mess—the innocent residents around are suffering.”
“That can’t be helped. We’ll just have to see how it develops.”

“How’s it looking?” Chairman Chen was pacing with worry.
“We can break through, but getting everyone out will take at least fifteen minutes,” a gatekeeper reported, wiping sweat from his forehead.
The strength of these bl**d threads was almost unbelievable; they could hardly fathom how a ghost could escalate bl**d thread intensity to this level—unprecedented.
Yet they still had a method to break them; there were too many of them to fail at puncturing even one bl**d thread blockade.
Problem was, they could only break through slightly faster than the bl**d threads could repair themselves. Creating a passage for a few to escape was possible, but getting everyone out? That was a different story.
Unless they took turns sending groups out, but that was cumbersome and time-consuming, while the Black Sun Goddess could arrive at any moment.
To make matters worse, the Black Sun Goddess had sensed something amiss and was ramping up the repair speed.
“What should we do, Chairman? Why don’t you take a group and leave first? We’ll stay behind!”
“No way!” Chairman Chen flat-out refused.
“But…”
“Enough! No way. You guys go first. I’ll hold the last group back,” he declared decisively, pointing out a few of the more capable members.
“Get moving!”
At his urging glances, several members steeled themselves and ventured out.
“Chairman, if this continues, we’ll be in trouble. The Tianfa Sect can’t hold much longer!”
Looking back, nearly half the Tianfa Sect members were already dead, and it hadn’t even been ten minutes.
The Tianfa Sect had begun begging for mercy, negotiating with the Black Sun Goddess. From their words, it was clear—they were willing to beg, just to live, even if it meant being the Black Sun Goddess’s lap dogs.
“Keep at it, ignore everything else.”
Chairman Chen feigned calm. As chairman, he couldn’t panic or run away first.
Their only hope now lay with Chen Yunshi.
Let’s hope her name carries weight with the Black Sun Goddess.
The Black Sun Goddess wasn’t without reason; she mainly followed a little girl around, and wherever that girl went, so did she, their relationship seemed quite solid—the Black Sun Goddess obeyed this girl’s every command.
And it appeared that girl was one of Chen Yunshi’s students.

“Yunshi, are we really doing this? Have you thought this through? Bai Yu looks like she’s gone completely mad! Don’t let her take us out too; her personality might just see us as a hindrance and stab us!”
On a building across the street, Chen Yunshi folded her arms, gazing at the scene, as her own Thousand Eyes Godmother chattered away in her ear.
“And if you go, she might not even listen to you! Who are we? We’re not Zhao Mingyue; she gets results; we don’t!”
“Why not kidnap Zhao Mingyue instead? I saw her just over there!”
“That’s a no-go; kidnapping Zhao Mingyue is way too risky. We might end up in real trouble!”
“Hey, are you even listening?!”
“Shut it! You came up with the idea of kidnapping Zhao Mingyue. Go ahead and try it; if Bai Yu doesn’t crank your head off and use it for a soccer ball, then you’ll have some skill!” Chen Yunshi’s eyelids twitched.
“I was just joking! I know! I meant we should go and say some nice words to Zhao Mingyue. If she has a kind word, maybe our dad will be saved!”
Chen Yunshi didn’t even bother to argue back; she leaped into the air, landing deftly on the hands of the Thousand Eyes Godmother, leaping again and successfully reaching the building where Bai Yu was.
She was there to save someone.
To preserve her unreliable father while snagging a favor from Bai Yu at the same time.
Desperate times called for desperate measures; nobody around her was reliable. Particularly that Thousand Eyes character.
