Chapter 654: Turning the Tables

The Ghost Child, yet to fully grow, simply had no way to stop Wei Jing from leaving. The only reason Yang Jian was intercepted was because of the rotten Dead Man's Head; currently, the Ghost Child wearing the Ghost Shroud mostly possessed the ability to resist the harm caused by other malevolent ghosts.

Therefore, even if Wei Jing suppressed the Ghost Child, he couldn't kill it, and without continuous suppression, the Ghost Child could come back to life again.
