Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1561

Hearing the familiar voice, Shannon forced her amulet to halt mid-air. She'd just recognized the powerful spirit.

But in that brief pause, the ghost's hand shot toward her neck.

Benjamin swiftly grabbed Shannon and pulled her back. At the same time, Shannon snapped back to focus and threw out a talisman.

The talisman flared with spiritual light and transformed into spiritual chains that lunged toward the attack. But as if anticipating the attack, the ghost twisted its form and drifted to the side to dodge the chains. "Summon the evil winds."

Shannon's gaze darkened as she stared coldly at Leah before her. The latter looked pained, and black smoke cloaked her form. Within that black smoke, countless black threads pierced through her ghostly figure and controlled her firmly.

"Shannon, be careful!"

Before Shannon could react, a sharp male voice echoed from the side.

"With all laws reduced to glazes and with my divine power, the lord commands the nine realms. With the talisman as my seal, with energy as my guide… By the decree of pardon, ignite and freeze all!"

The chant was supposed to sound calm and authoritative, but it gritted through clenched teeth instead.

A wave of icy frost surged across the floor and spread rapidly toward them. Shannon's expression turned colder as she raised her amulet and ignited a fiery line before her.

The frost stopped abruptly beyond the fiery line.

Shannon turned her gaze to the side. Skylar was a mess; blood streaked his forehead and lips. When his eyes met hers, there was shame and frustration in them.

Just like Leah, black smoke coiled around him. And from within that darkness, thin sinister black threads connected to his body. They were both being controlled.
