Chapter 2988 Cleaning Up

Without hesitation, Zen had already grabbed the handle of the cyan sword with his left hand.

As he held the sword handle tightly in his fingers, a repulsive force began to spread out from it. Zen was being so careless that he nearly let the sword slip out of his hand.

As he activated the strength source, his left hand firmly gripped the sword, like an iron clamp. As he performed this action, Zen roared in his mind, "It's your turn to make a move!"

The sclerite on Zen's chest flashed lightly, and No. 9527 entered the long sword at once.

"Ha-ha..."

The ghost followed closely behind, rushing toward Zen as quickly as it could.

Beneath the terrifying and evil pressure coming from the soul's aura, Zen could hardly breathe.

Simultaneously, Zen had been forced into a corner, and there was almost no way out. Even if he used the Grand Teleportation, he knew he'd still be interrupted by the ghost. The scene of how the man in purple's life ended was still very fresh in his mind.

If No. 9527 was incapable of dealing with the cyan sword, Zen's life would probably end in the same way. He looked very nervous, and with absolute reason.

"Ahoo!"

As the ghost howled, its dark brown arms extended toward Zen in an attempt to grab him, giving no forewarning whatsoever. Zen suddenly realized that the repulsive force emitting from the sword handle had disappeared, and the ghost's body had also frozen in midair, completely motionlessly.

There were certain, rather specific reasons for the formation of most evil ghosts. The main reason was that people's souls contained both obsession and hatred, which intertwined with each other, causing the remnant souls to lose themselves and become abnormally vicious.

Once the obsession disappeared, however, the evil ghosts would lose their meaning of existence.

No. 9527 understood the reason why this ghost was formed, which was also why it let Zen take the risk. As soon as it entered the cyan sword and wiped off the Stinger Guard's obsession, the ghost's ferocious aura dissipated in an instant.

The originally fierce and evil ghost actually transformed itself into a pure soul force. The hazel aura dispersed in all directions at once.

"What the hell are you doing? It has swallowed countless souls! Its soul force is strong and pure. Its effect is even better than that of the

Kenelm, with a cautious look on his face.

Although the Gracious Province was a remote place, Kenelm couldn't afford to offend any of the big clans. If the big clans were to find out about what happened today, they would be in deep trouble.

"We have no choice but to dispose of the bodies and get rid of the evidence," said one of Kenelm's friends.

Although they weren't strong enough, they were all clear-minded. Cleaning everything up and wiping the traces down were a means of survival.

"And Tanner must also die!" As Kenelm glanced at Tanner, who was lying on the ground, flames of anger burned in his eyes. All the things that had happened were caused by him. He naturally had to vent his anger on him; it was to be expected.

After Kenelm ended Tanner's life and someone else killed Artie, they put all the corpses together and burned them to ashes.

At once, their gazes fell on the cyan sword!

"After the death of any Stinger Guard of the Sword Light Palace, if anyone packs their effects and returns them to the Sword Light Palace, they could obtain the qualification for joining the Sword Light Palace. Let's take these belongings and long sword back to the Excellence City and report to the Sword Light Palace," said Kenelm eagerly.

Although he listened to the others speak, Zen didn't say anything.

Before coming here, he had heard Kenelm say such things. That said though, he was suspicious of this rumor.

If this Sword Light Palace really was some famous force, how could they use this method for selecting disciples to join them?
