Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 900

Shannon gripped the sword in one hand and strode to the edge of the barrier. The sudden rise in her aura was so intense that everyone present fell silent. They were awestruck.

Neither Skylar nor Juniper hesitated. They immediately stepped up to her side, standing firmly beside her.

Meanwhile, Triston drew out a long whip from his side. The whip was wrapped in talismans, clearly his trusty instrument. As a representative sent by the Special Security Agency, it was only natural that he came prepared.

Shannon turned to Calvin. "We'll leave the players to you, Mr. Faust."

The grip on his waist tightened, and he solemnly affirmed, "You can rest assured."

The four of them immediately stepped out of the barrier. Once they crossed the boundary, Shannon's grip on her sword tightened abruptly, as if sensing a familiar presence.

However, before she could probe further, the evil spirits lurking outside the barrier had already charged toward them in unison.

The evil spirits outside were born from the spiritual realm, originally lurking among the players, waiting for the perfect moment to strike their chosen "mice". Those caught by them would be transformed into cat ghosts, and their actions were completely controlled by the realm's owner.

In order words, the 17 missing individuals from this case were all victims who had been marked by these evil spirits and turned into cat ghosts.

The realm's owner had previously caused a rift between Shannon and the cat team to allow the evil spirits to blend in among them. That way, she would be turned into a cat ghost, as long as an evil spirit touched her.

Unexpectedly, she formed a talismanic barrier and filtered out all the evil spirits mingling among the players. With that said, the other party still stood a chance.

As the evil spirits slowly inched toward her, Shannon focused on the task at hand. She wielded the sword and swiftly fished out a purple talisman with the other hand.

Juniper easily recognized the talisman. Previously, when Shannon got caught in a phantom-assassination array, she drew a purple spirit-locking talisman to bind and subdue the ghosts.

What differed from last time was she formed a mudra with only one hand this time, chanting, "Red light glimmers, in the land of nine realms. Bind the soul, restrain the spirit. Capture the shadows, let none inherit!"

Moreover, the evil spirits were steeped in malevolent energy, making it impossible for the talisman to hold them for long.

Without hesitation, Shannon wielded her hazelwood sword and bolted toward the subdued evil spirits.

Juniper similarly employed a hazelwood sword; although it was incomparable to her thousand-year lightning-struck hazel branch, it was still a precious heirloom inherited from Windsong Monastery.

Soon enough, the air was filled with the desperate wails and agonized cries of the evil spirits. Swords slashed, fists struck, and whips lashed. It had been a long time since they encountered such opponents.

Who were these four? Were they gods of death? Every strike blitzed their souls, diminishing their ghastly energy little by little.

At first, the people inside the barrier watched eagerly, confident that with their help, victory was assured. However, it didn't take long for them to realize that things were not so simple.
