reat gods in the heavens criticize meJiang Qiyun's lips twitched imperceptibly, and he said in a low voice, "When I left the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, all matters were entrusted to Yin Marshal Bai Wu...I've never seen such a foolish monster before. It's always just reacting instinctively, how could it possibly show an expression like a smile, something so "high emotional intelligence"
In the end, these chaotic things aren't even animals, they are just lumps of living flesh.
"Hehehe... another one, fooled..." The foolish demon stared at me with wide eyes.
Scammed
I hadn't reacted yet to what was going on, when it suddenly crawled towards me with all fours!
That feeling, it was like a human head rolling across the ground.
"...Your tender body is just right up my alley! Mwahahahaha!" The head suddenly bounced, flying towards my face!
"Ah—"
The man's exposed flesh, untouched by blood, met my gaze. Its ashen skin resembled slate, bare of hair and devoid of warmth.
This is Xiao Mo's skin color.
"Little Qiao!" My brother instinctively dodged, pushing me aside before he did.
I hugged my head and rolled to the foot of the stairs. The little demon leaped past me, landing on the hallway floor. It turned its head and let out a roar before charging at me again!
A cold light brushed past my ear, Jiang Qiyun's sword qi veered away from me and my brother, driving the little demon off.
Xiao Mo immediately rolled back into his room, warily eyeing the door.
Around me, Jiang Qiyun's figure gradually appeared. He held a long sword in one hand and a lantern in the other, as if holding nothing at all.
Light… Isn't this the lamp we used to experiment with summoning souls in the little villa
At this moment, the lamp was held in Jiang Qiyun's slender fingers. Between the lamp and its holder, wisps of blue smoke rose up, twisting and turning.
"...Indeed it is a relic of the underworld. It performs best in places where ghostly qi abounds." Jiang Qiyun let out a soft hum and, leaning sideways, handed the soul lantern to me.
I reached out carefully, asking, "How did this happen...Didn't you go to the Boundless Realm How did you manage to bring back the Soul Lamp..."
“Take it good. You wanted to test this, didn't you Now there are two layers of barriers outside, I have temporarily confused the living. Let's see where this ghost can run to... If this lamp can gather her soul, its effectiveness will be obvious.” Jiang Qiyun patiently explained to me.
I quickly grabbed the lamp with both hands, afraid that the ghostly energy swirling on top would dissipate. As this ghostly energy becomes more pronounced, I should be able to see the true face of this female ghost!
"Hey, this thing's getting away!" My brother suddenly pointed inside. That big-headed little demon was already straining its swollen head to pry open the window, like a flying bat, and jumped out the door.
"There's no need to chase…" Jiang Qiyun said faintly.
"Why, this thing is bloodthirsty and harmful!" I wanted to chase after it, but I didn't dare go inside. The man in the room was naked, and I was afraid of seeing something shocking.
Jiang Qiyun was still as serene and composed as ever, saying softly, “You can't escape. You’re already caught like a fish in a net... just keep hold of this lamp.”
"... Can't you just put it down Do you have to hold it the whole time" I asked in confusion.
Jiang Qiyun's lips curled up slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Since you're holding it, just hold it well. What's the point of asking so many questions"
Okay, alright... I don't know what Jiang Qiyun is up to again.
He's becoming more and more mysterious. Ever since he said he went on a tour of the Upper Realm, I wonder what other delightful things he's thinking about.
It is said that immortals and gods are revered, their hearts free to move as they please, and their thoughts are difficult for mortals to fathom.
Jiang Qiyun walked down and said to Bai Wuchan, "Let's call it off... This female ghost's soul has been tempered and split into two. Capturing only half is useless."
Bai Wuchang frowned slightly: "If she has such ability, why come to the mortal world"
“Who knows what she experienced in the Demon Realm… Perhaps, she was a pawn, a chess piece, or cannon fodder… No need to rush, we’ll find her slowly.” Jiang Qiyun sneered, “Within ten miles of this area, I have already set up a barrier. All living souls are now trapped. She wants to possess someone else, but she can't. We’ll find her true soul and essence, and bring it back to the Underworld for a slow interrogation.”
Within ten miles
I held the soul-calling lamp, standing by the window looking out.
The entire resort was still brightly lit, with the main hotel still buzzing with dazzling beams of light.
The atmosphere became quite heavy, as if the air and time had come to a standstill.
Jiang Qiyun smiled faintly: "This deity does not possess such divine powers. I merely temporarily isolated a piece of 'alien land' to trap this female ghost."
His gaze fell on my hand, and he whispered, "Mu Xiaoqiao, hold the lamp well. The souls of all living beings within ten miles have been drawn to this lamp. If the lamp is destroyed, their souls will leave their bodies and scatter. It will take a great deal of effort to return them to their original forms."
"Oh... okay." I clenched my hands around the lamp post, how could something so important be entrusted to me
"Hee hee… Little Empress is starting to look the part…" Bai Wu Chang gave a sly smile. "As the Immortal Queen of the Underworld, one must learn to command souls…"
He hunched over, lowering his head to whisper to me, "During the process of trapping this female ghost, if Lady Xiao can protect countless people from harm, that would be a great merit... Hush..."
Great merit Could it be that Jiang Qiyun has gone to great lengths to accumulate it for me
Bai Wu Chang gave me a "hush" gesture, and Chang Jing on the ground was now silent as sleep, her face still flushed but no longer contorted in such a ferocious manner.
I squatted down and tugged at her clothes, pulling them straight. Her chest was half exposed, Jiang Qiyun and Bai Wu Chang didn't even glance at her, they just dumped her there and ignored her. My brother also averted his gaze.
"This female ghost is just like the former Blood-Faced Ghost King…" I looked up at Jiang Qiyun.
He was taken aback for a moment. That period of the Blood-Faced Ghost King, was the time when there was the biggest disagreement and friction between him and me, the most unpleasant time. He seemed unwilling to reminisce about it.
It's truly not easy for even a revered immortal god to be reduced to such a state by me.
“This female ghost is more than just a fusion of evil thoughts. In her lifetime, she was wicked and insatiable in her desires. After death, she went to the depths of Yin Mountain, where she merged with a leaked little demon. During spatial collision, she escaped. This time, many low-level demons entered the world, and she mixed among them. She should have come here for a purpose…” Jiang Qiyun explained lightly.
Bai Wu Chang adjusted his cuffs, squinting and smiling: "Then, this one will go hunting around. Your Majesty..."
Jiang Qiyun coldly glared at him: "Since this female ghost is quite familiar with you, you should handle it yourself. Now that the surrounding aura has changed, many things will move with the wind, so solve it as soon as possible."
"Yes... subordinate obeys~~~hehehe..." Bai Wu Chang smiled and walked out.
I carefully placed the lamp on the coffee table, turned Changjing over, straightened her clothes, and moved her to the sofa.
Hum...
A dull thud came from the stairs, and I looked up. I was so startled that I covered my eyes and screamed!
That gleaming man, covered in wounds, half white flesh and half blood, was actually awake!
He still had a dog collar around his neck and some straps on his body, looking extremely sinister.
"Oh my, big brother, you're tied up like a turtle shell. With such thin ropes, aren't you afraid of hurting your little buddy You want to become a eunuch" My brother sneered with mockery.
“You, you… what are you people… Why are you here Master… what did you do to my master…” His mind was a little muddled, he wanted to pounce down, but the thin chain around his neck caught on his collar, preventing him from coming down the stairs.
I glanced at Jiang Qiyun, his face contorted in disgust—he'd probably forgotten to keep his comatose soul anchored.
>e. Even if they waste away in the City of Damned Souls, they will be unable to ascend." Jiang Qiyun stated coldly.Were those vengeful spirits consumed Such things happen often.In our eyes, life is pre...
