“I happened to come over to see how you were doing, and in time for the top to send you the bronze sword, so I brought it along with me.” Master Mao put the wooden box containing the bronze sword on the table and admonished. “It’s rare for you to apply for something from the higher ups, so when you asked for the bronze sword this time, the top management approved it for you almost without thinking. But I must remind you that it’s very dangerous to put this sword around you.”

“I know.” When the evil spirit rioted violently in the research room last time, the Assistant Group together with Master Mao concealed everything. If the above knew that this sword would trigger the evil spirit, then this sword would definitely be strictly kept.

“If something happens again this time, I won’t help you hide it anymore,” Master Mao said.

“Understood.” Lou Ming smiled, “Shishi has a magical weapon, so naturally she will be safer when catching ghosts. Besides, you also said that a malevolent ghost of the level of the Ghost King is rarely seen.”

“That’s true, the Luoshan Sect’s ghost repelling technique is ranked among the top three in the metaphysical world. Although Little Friend Chen is very young, her cultivation is already high. With the Bronze Sword’s protection, I think she won’t encounter any more danger.” This was also the reason Master Mao agreed to give the Bronze Sword to Chen Yu. It was only when Chen Yu was safe would Lou Ming not act rashly.

“By the way…” Speaking of the Ghost King, Lou Ming suddenly remembered Qi Changming. “Has the Celestial Master who manipulated the Ghost King before been caught?”

“Yes,” Master Mao couldn’t help but smile when he brought this up, “That Qi Changming is very powerful in escaping. The Six Teams hunted him for five days, but still let him escape back to the White Mountain.”

The so-called Six Teams was an arrest team established by the metaphysical organization specifically to catch those bad Celestial Masters who used metaphysical methods to harm people. They were equivalent to the police in metaphysical circles.

Lou Ming was surprised: “He fled back to White Mountain?”

“There is a White Mountain Sect in White Mountain, and Qi Changming is from there. The White Mountain Sect is a relatively isolated sect in the metaphysical world.” Master Mao introduced, “Their founding ancestor was a bigoted Celestial Master. During the war period, he took advantage of the people’s unhappiness and the world’s deep grievances and refined a lot of malevolent ghosts, which later evolved into Ghost Kings after long periods.”

“Ghost Kings are very powerful, and ordinary Celestial Masters can’t rival them easily, so the White Mountain Sect gradually flourished. Later, the war stopped. The world’s grievances were no longer so deep, and many of the evil spirits returned to hell. Refining Ghost Kings also became increasingly difficult, so the White Mountain Sect gradually declined.” Master Mao explained, “That Qi Changming is the current White Mountain Sect patriarch’s last disciple. Because of his outstanding aptitude, plus his master likes him, his master passed on a Ghost King to him.”

“Passing on one to him? That White Mountain Sect must have more than that Ghost King. So did he escape back to the White Mountain Sect to let his master shelter him?” Lou Ming was puzzled. “Then how did the Six Teams catch him later?”

“When they first arrived in White Mountain, the leaders of the Six Teams also considered this problem. Although the White Mountain Sect has declined, it’s impossible that they only have one Ghost King. When they were hesitating whether to go up the mountain to catch him, Gu Rufeng, the sect’s patriarch, personally tied him up and sent him over,” Master Mao narrated with another smile.
