Xia Tianqiong crouched down and cast a Sky-Splitting Technique on the outline on the ground.

The cement floor immediately cracked open.

"Stop, stop, you'll kill me if you do that."

With a panicked scream, a two-dimensional figure emerged from the crack, then instantly grew larger and transformed into a three-dimensional human form.

It's a trick of the paintbrush!

"It's still alive!"

"Damn, we almost got fooled by it."

"It's strange that even a ghost can play dead."

The onlookers saw Xia Tianqiong suddenly stop, then wave his hand, the ground cracked open, and the ghostly figure emerged.

It was only then that everyone realized that Hua Gui had actually faked his death and escaped right under their noses.

If it weren't for Xia Tianqiong, it would have truly succeeded.

Fearing it would run away again, Xia Tianqiong used the bronze mirror to cast a freezing spell, immobilizing it. Then he took out the Heavenly Rope and tied it up tightly from top to bottom.

At this point, the painting ghost had left the painting world and had lost its magical abilities, making it impossible for it to break free.

"Wait a minute, let's talk this over. Don't make a move yet."

Hua Gui tossed her flowing long hair, still wanting to negotiate with Xia Tianqiong.

Xia Tianqiong was a little impatient. "I don't have time to deal with you right now. I'll find someone to entertain you."

As he spoke, he put it into the mirror space.

At the same time, he sent a telepathic message to the delivery ghost, "I've found you a new partner. Treat it well and make sure it's completely convinced of its worth."

The delivery guy replied telepathically, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll make it beg to form a contract with its master."

The other contract ghosts also perked up, quickly gathering in the plaza at the entrance, surrounding the painting ghost, their eyes filled with excitement and joy.

Everyone knows that if you do things well, your master will reward you.

Xia Tianqiong didn't linger any longer. He quickly left with the orange cat in his arms, worried that Guo Zhan would run too far and be difficult to catch.

At this moment, Guo Zhan was outside the Administration Bureau building, not far away, but hiding in a corner, making a phone call to Liu Qian.

“Your Liu family must protect me; I have nowhere else to go.”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a cold voice, "I'll give you an address. Lure Xia Tianqiong over here."
