Chapter 76: The Unkillable Dragon River Woman, Blood-Red Altar
Returning to the room, Bai Yu quickly showered and, at the same time, looked at the intelligence on the Dragon River Woman.
【 Archives – Dragon River Woman
I. Physical Description: The Dragon River Woman is a type of Water Ghost that originated during the Tang Dynasty. In modern times, it is known for its mysterious appearances in bodies of water and for causing jumping-into-the-river cases.
II. Ability Overview: The Dragon River Woman can control water, create mist and illusions, causing victims to exhibit symptoms of extreme irritability and mental disorder before the incident. Its primary abilities include mental interference, emotional manipulation, water control, and the manipulation of Chang Ghosts.
III. Historical Background: Omitted.
IV. Modern Incidents: In recent years, the Dragon River Woman has reappeared, causing a series of jumping-into-the-river cases.
It first appeared in Tianhai City and was eliminated by the Jiangnan District Special Investigation Bureau, but it has since appeared multiple times in other bodies of water and cannot be completely eradicated.
V. Danger Level: The Dragon River Woman phenomenon has been classified as a purple-level high-risk supernatural event by the Special Investigation Bureau.
VI. Investigation Process: Through research conducted during multiple attempts to eliminate the Dragon River Woman, expert teams were assembled to conduct in-depth investigations and discover a method to completely ‘kill’ it.
VII. Special Sealing Method: Recently, the Special Investigation Bureau discovered that Celestial Masters with lightning attribute bloodlines possess a unique ability to seal the Dragon River Woman.
In ancient texts, the lightning attribute was regarded as the ultimate yang and most potent force, possessing mysterious power to purify and seal yin and evil entities.
VIII. Luring Method: The Dragon River Woman favors sacrifices with extremely rich blood qi. It can be lured by sacrificing slaughtered pigs, cattle, and sheep. Undeveloped Dragon River Women cannot resist the temptation of sacrifices.
IX. Sealing Process: During a crisis involving the Dragon River Woman, a cultivator of the Ancient God System who inherited the Daoist magic of a lightning-attribute Celestial Master, caused powerful sealing energy to be generated when their bloodline interacted with the Yin Chen Stone.
When the Dragon River Woman’s power weakened, the Celestial Master dripped their own blood onto the Yin Chen Stone, activating the sealing power within the stone and successfully trapping the Dragon River Woman’s Spirit Body inside.
IX. Yin Chen Stone Description: The Yin Chen Stone is an ancient Spiritual Stone, dark on the surface, containing natural sealing formations within that can seal yin-attribute, water-attribute, and other special Spirit Bodies.
X. Sealing Effect: After being sealed, the Dragon River Woman cannot reappear elsewhere; its Spirit Body is confined within the Yin Chen Stone and cannot affect the outside world. Furthermore, a sealed Dragon River Woman can be used as a Magical Treasure.

Researcher of the Alien Gods Research Institute – ***】
After reading this news, Bai Yu breathed a huge sigh of relief.
“I thought we were completely wiped out! Turns out it’s just that it can’t be killed permanently! You scared me.”
This was truly a false alarm.
“The greatest value of this blue-quality intelligence is that it allows for the sealing of the Dragon River Woman.”
“It’s just… where the heck are we going to find this Celestial Master? And the Yin Chen Stone too.”
But then, Bai Yu suddenly looked at his own hands.
“My intelligence system usually doesn’t provide useless information. Could it be that the special physique I mentioned in my diary before is a Celestial Master bloodline?”
Thinking this, he became somewhat excited.
However, he wasn’t 100% sure.
He could only pick up the phone and call Zhao Bin.
A voice came from the other end: “Is it done?”
“Wait a minute, we can’t completely kill the Dragon River Woman! Even if we defeat her this time, she’ll still appear elsewhere.”
On the other end, Zhao Bin frowned upon hearing this news, and the other members of the Seventh Group also heard it.
Liu Feifei couldn’t help but ask, “Then what should we do? Do we have to wait for Bai Ling to grow up to handle it? But if that’s the case, many people will die… We can only kill it beforehand.”
Bai Yu continued, “I’ve found a way here, but it requires the Yin Chen Stone. By the way, can we find one here?”
Qin Wanqing’s voice, filled with confusion, came through: “Yin Chen Stone?”
“Yes!”
“I have one at home. I’ll have someone send it over as soon as possible, it should be here quickly.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu excitedly said, “Great!”
He thought it would be troublesome, but it turned out to be easy to ask.
As expected of a rich lady, she has so many things at home.
“Oh, right! We also need to bring some freshly slaughtered pigs, cattle, and sheep as sacrifices. That way, we can better lure out the Dragon River Woman. Bai Ling said this.”
Qin Wanqing immediately replied, “Okay, that’s simple, I’ll have someone prepare it.”
But Bai Ling’s voice echoed in Bai Yu’s mind: “You’re lying! The Dragon River Woman likes sacrifices. But I don’t know if this will work…”
“Don’t worry, I’m just using your name to say it, it will definitely work.”
“Alright.”
As expected of Miss Wan Jin, Qin Wanqing, with just one phone call, a small truck arrived within twenty minutes.
Two individuals who looked like Bodyguards got out, retrieved a Yin Chen Stone the size of a soccer ball, and one slaughtered pig and one sheep each.
Hu Chengyong, having received the news, also came to the main entrance. Smelling the strong scent of blood, he asked in confusion, “Were you stalling for time to get this thing? By the way, what is this for?”
Bai Yu directly replied, “Sacrifices!”
“Sacrifices!?”
The members of the Ninth Group were all confused.
Speaking of which, they hadn’t yet fully understood who their enemy was.
Bai Yu then briefly explained, “The enemy this time is a Water Ghost named the Dragon River Woman. We have a way to find her, and these sacrifices are just a method to lure her out.”
“A Water Ghost!? The culprit behind the jumping-into-the-river cases is this thing?”
“By the way, how did you find out?”
“Let’s go, we’ll talk on the way.”
Getting down to business, Hu Chengyong nodded with a serious expression: “Alright!”
However, as they walked, he suddenly noticed something was off.
Where had the Group Leader of the Seventh Group, Li Yunbin, gone? How was this newcomer taking charge?
He had always been curious about this newcomer’s situation, but when he asked last time, Li Yunbin was completely uncooperative, so he couldn’t press further and could only take things as they came.
And where did the intelligence about this Water Ghost come from?
His mind was full of questions, but he couldn’t ask.
This was quite frustrating!
Under the cover of night.
The group moved along the Qingyun River area between the two lakes.
In the car.
Little White Dragon floated out, closing its eyes to sense.
However, after traversing the entire middle section of the Qingyun River, no anomalies were detected.
Upon reaching the south bank of Cloud Lake, Bai Ling excitedly said, “I seem to have a faint sense. How about letting Ling’er go explore the lake?”
Bai Yu glanced at the tranquil and dark lake surface, thought for a moment, and said, “Okay, be careful, don’t expose yourself.”
“Alright!”
The group’s car stopped, and Hu Chengyong asked via communicator, “Found it?”
Zhao Bin replied, “We’re investigating, please wait a moment. This opponent isn’t easy to deal with.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Hearing Zhao Bin’s words, Hu Chengyong felt that this was more normal!
If they found it immediately, wouldn’t their days of rushing around seem like a waste?
However, he couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, where did you get the name Dragon River Woman? It’s related to dragons, isn’t it too powerful? Shouldn’t we call for backup from the Spirit Yuan Realm experts in the bureau?”
Zhao Bin had a prepared response: “We learned it through a special Ancient God-type treasure. We have the means to deal with it.”
“Alright.”
More importantly, the antique street was only five hundred meters away, and the great expert Zheng Guoyi was right there!
Furthermore, Zheng Guoyi was a Vampire, frequently active at night.
A moment later.
Before Bai Ling returned, her excited soul transmission was heard: “Found it! That Dragon River Woman seems to be hiding where I was born.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Feifei’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed excitedly, “I might have seen her!”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Liu Feifei.
Liu Feifei said, “Yesterday, didn’t I see a white shadow? Xiao Yu explained it as Bai Ling’s soul body, but… I really don’t feel right about it!”
“That’s right! Xiao Yu, you saw it too, didn’t you?”
Bai Yu nodded. He was too far away at the time to see clearly, but he could feel a chilling aura.
“It should be a companion. The Dragon River Woman incident occurred not long after Bai Ling was born, and the two have a historical connection.”
This was just a minor incident; fortunately, the Dragon River Woman did not interfere with the battle back then.
After confirming the Dragon River Woman’s location.
The group got out of the car.
Bai Yu glanced at the small truck that had followed them and said, “Let’s start setting up the altar.”
“Okay!”
Without any further ado, the group immediately began quickly setting up the altar using the various tools from the small truck.
Three squads from the Ninth Group also began to help.
Soon, an ancient-style altar filled with the scent of blood was set up.
The lake waves, occasionally rising, washed over the fresh red blood flowing from the altar.
After finishing, the group drove the car further away and hid in the nearby bushes.
Since they were facing a ghost-like creature, everyone was somewhat apprehensive.
In the bushes.
Jiang Chen held the soccer ball-sized Yin Chen Stone and asked, “By the way, I’ve heard of this stone. Normally, it can only be used as a Spiritual Stone to gather yin-attribute spiritual energy. What do you need it for?”
Bai Yu was taken aback: “You don’t know its function?”
He thought that since everyone had this item, they would have some understanding of it.
Zhao Bin pushed up his glasses and said, “I do know one function; it’s said to be able to contain Spirit Bodies.”
Jiang Chen was surprised: “It has that function too? I never heard of it when I was studying at the bureau!”
“It’s new knowledge added in recent years. You’re too lazy and haven’t updated, you’re out of touch.”
“. I’m clearly focused on training!”
However, Zhao Bin looked at Bai Yu doubtfully and said, “But I heard that you need a Ghost Catcher or other Ancient God inheritors to use this thing, right? And the operation seems quite complicated.”
Complicated? Isn’t it just dripping blood?
I have plenty of blood!
Bai Yu silently thought, “I’m not a Daoist, but my blood… it should probably work?”
When he picked up the Yin Chen Stone just now, he secretly tried it. After dripping a drop of blood, a unique power was indeed generated within.
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Fine!
Now he can not only provide intelligence but also change his identity at will.
He’s clearly a lightning mage, and now he’s turned into a Daoist Celestial Master.
The key point is, Daoist bloodline? What kind of logic is that?
But Zhang Jiao is indeed from the Celestial Master Dao, so it seems there’s no major issue.
Just then, with a ‘splash,’ the water surface seemed to stir.
Everyone instantly held their breath.
However, when they looked at the lake, they found nothing unusual.
Bai Ling said, “She’s here.”
Time ticked by, and a white light clearly appeared on the water’s surface.
This light began to detach from the water surface, slowly converging into a ethereal white silhouette.
Initially, it was pixelated and somewhat blurry.
Later, the face gradually became clear, and she had distinct white ancient-style clothing, resembling mourning attire, but with more lines.
It’s better not to wear it…
The Spirit Body floated above the beef and mutton, as if taking a deep breath.
An invisible Blood Essence began to entwine around its body.
Hu Chengyong and the others really wanted to make a move.
However, Bai Yu’s Seventh Group clearly understood this monster better. If the Seventh Group didn’t act, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
Seeing this scene, Liu Feifei felt a sense of lingering fear: That’s right! This was the creature she saw back then.
After about five minutes.
The Dragon River Woman’s white outer garment was stained with a bit of blood, and the pupils of her face turned light red.
Bai Yu, armed with the information from the archives, said, “In this state, the Dragon River Woman’s rationality is greatly weakened, and she will fight to the death. We can make a move now.”
Hearing this, everyone immediately rushed out.
Bai Yu’s Scepter of Thunder emitted a dazzling light, and his Golden Page of the Heavenly Lightning Tempering Technique spontaneously floated out, wrapping around his right wrist holding the staff, forming a bracer. It converted the vast lightning within the Scepter of Thunder into a special Thunder Power, channeling it into his body.
With this enhancement, Bai Yu felt even more confident! He could now mobilize the power of the Scepter of Thunder to a greater extent.
“Palm Lightning · Cage!”
In an instant, a massive lightning ball shot out.
The Dragon River Woman, seeing so many people ambushing her, let out a sharp cry. A sound wave seemed to form in the air, causing many to feel a stinging pain in their souls.
But the lightning light suddenly bloomed in front of the Dragon River Woman, forming eight small lightning pillars, intending to trap her in a cage-like formation.
The Dragon River Woman suddenly shot a stream of white energy from her right finger.
With a “boom,” the lightning cage was instantly broken.
With another sharp shriek, more than a dozen soul bodies appeared behind the Dragon River Woman.
These were all victims of recent jumping-into-the-river cases!!
At this moment, a scorching fireball flew over.
With a “rumble” and a loud noise, a violent tremor occurred in the air, briefly stunning these Chang Ghosts.
Liu Feifei reminded Bai Yu, “Don’t be reckless just because your strength has increased, be careful.”
“Don’t worry!”
After Hu Chengyong set up the Empty Sound Barrier, he didn’t waste any words and his body erupted with golden light.
He charged his right fist and unleashed a golden Fist Mark.
“Hmph! You female ghost, you made me go through all this trouble, didn’t you?”
“Die!”
A fierce collision ensued. The Dragon River Woman’s strength was clearly not weak, and in its current berserk state, it began to unleash its might. Its subordinate Chang Ghosts even started suicide attacks on everyone.
Qin Wanqing’s bell bracelet began to shake, emitting faint blue lights that formed a barrier.
However, the Dragon River Woman’s attacks had extremely strong penetration against this defense.
The group’s ears also ached from the constant shrieking group attacks.
Two members of the Ninth Group were already bleeding from their ears and were forced to retreat.
“Watch this, Gungnir!”
Bai Yu took out the Second Page and used the Gungnir Technique.
As he channeled the technique, his Scepter of Thunder began to furiously input energy into the Gungnir.
The originally bright white Gungnir began to show a hint of purple, and the lightning became increasingly violent.
Under the illumination of the purple lightning, Bai Yu’s face appeared terrifying.
The Dragon River Woman’s expression changed slightly upon seeing the condensed Gungnir.
With a flick of its finger, five more Chang Ghosts were unleashed. These Chang Ghosts looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
But a white light flew out from Bai Yu’s body.
It was the White Dragon!
Bai Ling transformed into a beam of white light and charged forward rapidly, spitting out a turbid white gas.
The Dragon River Woman, who had been in a frenzy, noticed this white gas, and its pupils changed. It even showed signs of wanting to escape.
But at this moment, Bai Yu’s Gungnir shot out.
With a “rumble,”
the Gungnir let out a deafening roar in the air, instantly piercing through the five spiritual bodies and tearing their souls to shreds.
The Dragon River Woman’s Blood Essence surged, and it endured two attacks.
Seeing this, the others naturally intensified their attacks.
Hu Chengyong unleashed ten Fist Marks, instantly dispersing the Dragon River Woman’s surface Blood Essence.
Bai Yu seized the moment when the Dragon River Woman’s defense was broken. His Scepter of Thunder glowed, and a terrifying lightning strike erupted.
This was a technique inherent in the inscriptions within the World Tree.
He called it: Lightning Pierce!
With a “rumble,”
the lightning pierced the Dragon River Woman’s Spirit Body, emitting a dazzling white light.
Seeing this, the Ninth Group, unwilling to be outdone, attempted to kill it.
However, Bai Yu called out, “Wait! Even if this Dragon River Woman dies this time, it will appear elsewhere. Sealing it is the best option!”
Hearing this, the members of the Ninth Group paused.
Hu Chengyong hesitated for only a moment before saying, “Stop!”
If it were before, he would have had doubts.
But in this battle, he had personally witnessed Bai Yu’s combat power, which was no weaker than that of a seasoned core member.
The power of the Gungnir was no less than his Buddha Fist, which was truly outrageous!
He wasn’t this strong when dealing with the Fishman Followers before.
But now, such a significant change had occurred, making it impossible not to take him seriously.
And that strange white gas! He didn’t know what it was.
The Scepter of Thunder in his hand and the golden item wrapped around his wrist were not simple.
‘Does this young man have such high talent?’
‘Or does this kid have an incredible background? Is he just here to experience life?’
To be honest, this possibility was quite high!
After all, Li Yunbin and Qin Wanqing had high statuses, and their attitude towards Bai Yu was overly polite.
‘If it were solely based on himself, this growth rate would be too heaven-defying!’
‘It’s only been half a month. If he continues to develop, what then?’
Meanwhile, Bai Yu looked at the Dragon River Woman, who was being contained by Bai Ling, took out the Yin Chen Stone, cut his palm with a sharp blade, and let the bright red blood flow onto the black stone.
Within the stone, electric sparks seemed to flash.
The next moment, a peculiar bright white light erupted, generating a powerful suction force.
The Dragon River Woman let out a sharp cry, vehemently resisting the suction force.
But Bai Ling flicked its tail again, directly knocking it into the stone.
As all this was done, a voice suddenly came, “Not bad.”
Everyone instantly became vigilant.
Who bypassed the Empty Sound Barrier!
