In this session of the Metaphysics Grand Competition, several senior brothers from the Xingyi Sect were injured due to previous accidents, leaving only one healthy Ju Jingbai.
The surrounding...
Ju Jingbai had just finished blowing the whistle when he was captured by the Ghost King.
"Ju Jingbai, you are looking for death." The Ghost King said with gritted teeth. He had never been insulted so much since he climbed up the ranks from a little ghost to the position of Ghost King. No one dared to tease him like this.
—Beep—The whistle echoed into the distance, matching the barking of dogs.
Ju Jingbai turned around to avoid the Yinsha silk that was rushing towards him. The Yinsha silk turned a corner and rushed towards Ju Jingbai again.
Silk can dissolve the power of the soul, forcing Ju Jingbai to retreat step by step.
"How did you do it? That layer of golden protective film?" The voice of the Ghost King sounded in Ju Jingbai's ears. He tore off the whistle on Ju Jingbai's neck and threw it to the ground.
At the same time, the protective film formed by the golden light of merit was also dispersed by the old ghost king with a sacrificial flag.
The protective film shattered like shattered glass, revealing golden spiderweb patterns, which scattered and dissipated into the air.
As the protective film shattered, the huge sacrificial array revealed its true appearance.
Not all the people who came to the Ghost Gate were unfamiliar with the formation under their feet. Word spread from one to two, from two to four, and soon everyone realized something was wrong. They talked about it in fear, and then were suppressed by the Ghost King's officers.
"It's over, Master. Junior Sister has been captured this time. She'll definitely die after the sacrifice. This Ghost King is too evil. The reason why the Ghost King in my primary ghost realm turned evil was simply because of his own selfish desires." Ju Qiyue said, "Junior Sister has done much better than me. When she gets out, you can't criticize her. You should praise her. She has only been learning for a short time."
"She was able to get so far mainly because of her physique that was favored by ghosts." Qin Shijun analyzed carefully, "First, after Wei Qiong was released from prison, he helped her test the function of the whistle. He also used his influence to help the junior sister bury the talisman. Only then was the junior sister able to destroy the Ghost King's plan so smoothly. Now the people also know about the Ghost King's conspiracy."
Qi Qingren was speechless.
"Qingren probably wants to say that that is also Junior Sister's own strength." Bai Shuo looked at Qi Qingren and explained with a smile.
Ju Xing carefully considered Ju Jingbai's strength and did not speak.
"My little beauty, catch it, but don't lose our secret weapon." At the critical moment, Wei Qiong appeared from nowhere, picked up the whistle that fell on the ground and threw it to Ju Jingbai. Then he expanded to the size of three people, floated to the side of the Ghost King, and hugged the Ghost King.
Wei Qiong's power was certainly not enough to control the Ghost King. In just a moment, he was torn into pieces by the Ghost King.
The evil aura all over Wei Qiong's body dissipated and merged into the dark clouds in the sky.
He couldn't even utter his last words.
But this moment was enough for Ju Jingbai to escape from danger.
Ju Jingbai flew into the sacrificial formation, hid among the ghosts, put the whistle in his mouth and blew it again.
—Beep—
The next moment, more than ten dogs in the sacrificial formation turned into big dogs that swelled to two meters in length. An ordinary dog that grew to two meters in length was also very scary, not to mention that there were also two or three wolfhounds that were known for their ferocity.
The Ghost King couldn't find Ju Jingbai for a while, so he started killing ghosts to vent his anger.
The ordinary ghost disappeared and turned into evil spirits that floated into the clouds above.
The old ghost king held two sacrificial flags in his hands and began to move with a gloomy face. It was difficult to gather so many people. Even if their positions changed, even if the most important sacrifice disappeared, their sacrificial formation was still alive and could be used.
Ju Jingbai couldn't feel the evil spirit dissipating or being absorbed, so he just blew the whistle again.
"Woof woof woof." A black and white husky picked up Ju Jingbai from behind and threw her onto its back.
"What's wrong with me? I can't move."
"The evil spirit on me has disappeared. Is it the Ghost King who did something?"
"My soul power has also dissipated. How could this happen?" Uneasy voices spread from one end of the sacrificial formation to the other and back again.
"Fellow villagers, since we must die, let's rush out and fight them!" Ju Jingbai stroked the Husky's fur and shouted loudly using an amplified voice.
"Yeah, let's rush out."
"Go, go, go."
Ju Jingbai looked at the group of ghosts shouting indignantly, but no one dared to take the lead.
The clouds outside grew darker, and the next second a light drizzle began to fall.
If Ju Jingbai stood next to the Ghost King, he would know that the raindrops falling on the Ghost King, the Old Ghost King and those officers were not rain but thick evil spirit. The evil spirit baptized their bodies and made them stronger, and their cultivation level increased by a large level in a short period of time.
"Woof woof woof" The wolfhound raised by the Ghost King ran to the Ghost King's side at some point in time.
The Ghost King lowered his head and stroked the wolfhound's brown-black fur, smiling, "Xiao Zang, you're still the best, aren't you?"
The next second, a wolf howl was heard.
The wolfhound raised its head with a fierce look in its eyes, and bit the Ghost King's neck as he approached.
Ju Jingbai pushed the Husky, and the Husky quickly ran towards the Ghost King. The howling of wolves and barking of dogs continued to sound like the horn of a charge. Ju Jingbai looked back and saw a group of dogs following closely behind her.
The dogs bit the Ghost King officers madly, clearing a bloody path for the ghosts in the sacrificial array.
The ghosts in the sacrificial formation had a leader, and they rushed out with the cooperation of the dogs.
They are certainly not without resentment.
Three punches cannot defeat four feet. The officers were surrounded by groups of ghosts and were gradually worn away.
The Ghost King finally couldn't maintain the Xu Ge mask on his face, and Ju Jingbai saw the Ghost King's true face. It was a dark, thin mist, without any facial features, making it easier for him to transform into someone else.
In a rage, the wolfhound was directly blasted into pieces by the Yin Qi, and the evil energy dissipated into the air.
The Ghost King raised his hand to cover his neck, flew onto the steps of the hall, and overlooked everything in the square.
Ju Jingbai ignored him and took the Husky and a few of his little dogs to attack the Old Ghost King again and again. Under the siege, the Old Ghost King's face could not maintain its appearance and turned into a pitch-black face.
Ju Jingbai dodged the huge evil spirit that was gathered by the sacrificial flag.
The next second, the Ghost King's Yin Sha chain tightly locked his neck.
"Woof." A hunting dog next to the Husky was torn into two halves by the Ghost King.
Ju Jingbai covered his neck, arrogantly took out the Yinsha chain, ran to the Ghost King, and then hugged the Ghost King. The thunder talismans he had drawn these days, one by one, exploded beside the Ghost King along with his own.
Flashing golden light and huge purple light exploded in front of the Ghost King.
Like a stunning fireworks display, the surrounding heat waves pushed the ghosts several meters away.
"Then I'll invite you to see a golden fireworks display..." The Ghost King vaguely remembered what Ju Jingbai said, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
The sacrificial battle in which the whole nation participated came to an end, and both the Ghost King and the Old Ghost King disappeared.
The residents of Jiaocheng chose a new king, and soon after the king ascended the throne, he changed the name of Jiaocheng to Dog City.
The ghosts at the sacrificial ceremony that day will probably always remember the pure and beautiful girl standing on the dog. She stood in front of them and fought bravely with the big dog she raised to snatch the lives of the ordinary residents of Jiaocheng from the hands of the Ghost King. When the golden and purple light exploded, it was a beautiful sight.
"The Dog Goddess has appeared." Some ghosts are ancient people, and they often say this.
As a result, a sect actually appeared in Dog City, the Dog God Cult.
According to the legend, there is a Dog Goddess in the Dog God Cult. When you are in trouble, you can break the predicament by just chanting the name of the Dog Goddess.
Snowflakes fell on the virtual screen, which turned black. Then, a scoring system with red background and gold letters appeared. Score: S. Reward for passing the level: The person who passed the level gained the support of the residents of Corner City. Support as a belief would deter the weak and insignificant people.
Ju Jingbai opened her eyes, coughed, and covered her neck. The feeling of the Ghost King's yin energy still lingered. It was like a nightmare. The memory of the dream was gradually fading, but she still couldn't help shuddering when she thought of Wei Qiong, Bai Xiuxiu, and the Ghost King.
Seeing this, Qin Shijun took a thin blanket and covered him, and Qi Qingren handed him a hot water bottle.
Ju Jingbai took it and felt much better. He calmed down and asked.
"Grandpa, have I passed the level?"
"Of course I cleared the level, little senior sister, you are amazing." Ju Qiyue said in surprise, "You even got the reward for cultivating the ghost realm. Among so many of us who entered, only Second Senior Brother has received the reward for the ghost realm. It's amazing!"
"Really?" Ju Jingbai said, "Then Grandpa, can I participate in the metaphysics competition?"
Ju Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, I'll let you go this time."
"That's great. I, the junior sister, will come to cheer for you and vote for you then! By the way, Master, we are sending the junior sister to the metaphysics competition. How do you plan to tell the other sects outside?" Ju Qiyue cheered.
"Just tell the truth." Qin Shijun said.
"You can't say that. Don't hide your incompetence, senior brother. Have you forgotten what happened to the Xu family last time? They said that the people coming were the juniors here, and they wanted to let the juniors come out and see what's going on, so they sent people to the metaphysics competition. But the juniors are only juniors, and he is the most talented junior in recent years. How can they be compared?! We were all concerned about his status as a junior and brought him through, but in the end, the Xu family almost took the first place in our city." Qi Qingren's silencing talisman dissipated. He jumped twice, jumped in front of his master and retorted.
Bai Shuo laughed, "That's indeed not very kind of them. This time, let's just release the news that he was injured in the virtual realm. There's no need to mention the eldest brother, after all, many people know that he was injured."
Ju Qiyue's eyes widened: "Is this even possible?"
Ju Xing slapped his thigh and made up his mind: "Oh, let's do it!"
Ju Jingbai held the hot water bottle in her hand and stared blankly at her grandfather and fellow apprentices as they gathered together to discuss details and see how they could deceive more people. It felt like she was meeting these people for the first time.
She had always thought that apart from Bai Shuo, everyone else was pure and kind.
