"Grab it quickly!" Lu Fei roars as he rushes forward, cold sweat dripping from his palms. He knows all too well that this female ghost is the culprit who lured Huang Ya Zhang into the house, and the only clue to unlocking the secret of the Crystal Lotus. Once Song Min strikes with her sword, all clues will vanish! The tip of the sword is already an inch away from the handkerchief, the sharp sword energy making the cloth tremble. Upon hearing this, Song Min abruptly stops, the sword blade halting in mid-air, her eyes filled with shock and doubt. In that instant, the blood-stained handkerchief suddenly twisted wildly, the congealed bloodstains glowing with an eerie red light. Dark red mist, like venomous snakes, darted out from the edge of the handkerchief, accompanied by the female ghost's shrill screams. A chilling, sinister wind swept through the entire room, the candlelight went out with a "poof," and darkness completely swallowed everything! "Trying to escape?" Lu Fei was prepared. The Soul-Suppressing Talisman, enveloped in golden light, flew out. "Song Min, seal off its escape route!" Moonlight shone through the window, illuminating the blood-stained handkerchief flickering like a will-o'-the-wisp in the darkness. The female ghost's resentment surged like waves, and Lu Fei's hand, gripping the talisman tightly, was engaged in a life-or-death struggle with this deadly clue. The haunted house held secrets, the vengeful ghost possessed the handkerchief, and the truth of the Glazed Lotus was hidden behind the blood-red mist. Every step Lu Fei took teetered on the edge of life and death. A slight misstep would not only cause him to lose all the clues but also make him a tool of the female ghost!
