The sudden voice ringing in my head made me shudder. Father?! Is that you?! I reeled as the sight of the Heirloom Axe coming nearer reminded me that I was not dreaming. A deep but sonorous hum reverberated in my ears, nearly knocking me out and Mr. Huang's battleaxe came down with a bursting force that erupted and really had me keeled over, unconscious.

I did not know how long had passed. After what felt like a very long time, I opened my eyes frantically, remembering that we were still in danger only to inhale heavily in awe at what I saw! I was standing, right in the middle of the auditorium and my leg was fine! The auditorium which had been battered to ruins and only one door still flapping on one last hinge at the frame of the entrance had been restored to what it was before when I first came and everyone was behind me—Zhu Mei, Old Men Xie and Chen, and even Shang Pei! I panned around, spinning on my heels like a spindle. The same podium that Mr. Huang had been spea

    With speed we never thought him to be capable of, he bolted! He should be dying already, I gasped. Bitterness and grudge flared effervescently in his eyes despite the foul aura that fueled his powers earlier now completely missing. Still, he looked no less murderous from before! And to make things worse, I spied a newly-cut wound on his wrist; he had slicked the Heirloom Axe with his blood again!But how long could he stand without the supply of power from his ghosts? I wondered. Without it, can this middle-aged man, now almost fifty, sustain any longer in battle? Shang Pei, the mightiest among everyone here, skittered forth to meet him. The blade of his saber gleamed blue as it appeared in his grasp, glowing with an icy-cold fury! Only, before he could do anything, I zipped right past him just as his fingers clasped around the hilt of his freshly-conjured weapon, charging straight at Mr. Huang. I zipped from where I stood in a flash, the tip of my sword p

Old Man Xie examined her pulsed and muttered with frustration, "Gods in Heaven, she's no good." "What's wrong with her, old man?" I asked. "Her ghost's damaged," Old Man Xie complained, his lips pursed. "The Spirit of the Heirloom Axe inherited an infernal sort of magic from Tribe Nine Li. It allows its user to strip out one's Heaven and Earth Souls and replace them with others." "So that means that this girl's Heaven and Earth Soul could still be somewhere inside this Fog World." I answered quickly, "Naturally!" And Old Man Xie shot me an offended look. The same one he usually made when he was impatient, as if he had been wasting time with a fool, saying, "Then what are you waiting fo

    Jin Qichen reset the crumpled can of Coke on the table and lay back on the sofa, his expression blank as he swam in his memories. "The fox spirit bestowed upon Na San the shamanic instruments and he bade us abandon our search. As if we would...""Of course you wouldn't and Time has proven that," I answered dryly."For the next ten years, we wallowed in ignorance. We did not know how to use the shamanic instruments, much less the fates of our parents. Hell, we did not even know who killed them." I bobbed my head absentmindedly and added, "And Mr. Huang came to look for you and told you everything, did they?" Jin Qichen chuckled. "Actually, after the henchmen of Mr. Huang had left, the fox came back again. This time, it warned us against working with those people, or there could be..."

I was frightened to my wit's end, and all I could remember was how fearful I was as I ran and ran.""Right," I breathed, chuckling bleakly, "I can't say I'm surprised by your answer." I turned to Uncle Quan, "Uncle. How did you locate us?" Lin Feng's father sipped on his tea and said, "On the second day after you got missing, Zheng Shuang came to us. He told us about your foray into the mysterious office building all night long and your sudden disappearance.""What about Shang Pei? How did they know about this? They'd come so far to save us." "Of course," Old Man Xie spliced in, "Your father is not in. Surely you don't expect the three of us are enough to come in with guns blazing?" That remark left us all sniggering.After ou

He cast a long look at Mr. Li's back and saw what most people could not see: a black mark left by Freaky when he perched on Mr. Li's back."Then why do you summon me?" Master Zhang smiled thinly. The question was intended as a jibe to tease Mr. Li. The poor man tried an amicable smile, "Please, Master Zhang. I fail to understand you.
