Even though she had lost all consciousness, the Ghost King still sensed the danger emanating from the golden light radiating from Zhong Niangyao, causing a momentary halt in her movements due to her instinct for survival. But as she had already become a puppet, a lethal weapon under Master Zeng's command, the hesitation lasted only a moment before she resumed her attack, heedless of the dazzling golden light, and launched an attack on Zhong Niangyao.
"Ah—" A piercing scream spread throughout the room, sending shivers down the spines of anyone who heard it.
The one letting out such a heartrending scream was none other than the Ghost King, who was assaulting Zhong Niangyao.
"Damn it!"
After cursing under his breath, Master Zeng immediately started reciting a spell, trying to recall the Ghost King.
He was initially caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, which is why he had acted the way he did. Now perceiving the danger, his first reaction was to call back the Ghost King.
