"Her tourist visa will expire in a few days, and her companion is the young master of the Si family in the imperial capital of China. Ace, you know that the church does not want to provoke that kind of top family, which will be very troublesome. We don't have that much time to bring the young master back to the church to resolve this matter." Gu Xiuji said slowly.

Shi Zhenxiang nodded deeply. "Indeed, don't mess with the Si family of Huaguo. It was that idiot Shabir who messed with the Si family and caused me to lose hundreds of millions. And that idiot even dared to covet the young master. Damn it, when I have time, I'll send that guy to Heizhou to mine."

Ace glanced at Shi Zhenxiang coldly and said, "I will remember this and settle accounts with those idiots."

He turned to look at Gu Xiuji, "You can treat the young master, but there must be another hypnotist present to prevent you from doing anything to the young master's memory. I have contacted the chief psychiatrist of Noah Medical Center to come over."

Gu Xiuji frowned slightly and fiddled with his cufflinks in a slightly irritated manner, "That's fine."

If I had known Ace was such a troublesome guy, I should have sent him somewhere else.

However, before Ace's people arrived, the steward of Wells Manor came to report:

"Master Patriarch, Mr. Logan has handed over a visiting card. The young master of the Si family is here to visit."

"Si Yuchen!"

Gu Xiuji frowned and said to Shi Zhenxiang, "Stop him first. Don't let him see Shi Ling."

Si Yuchen actually came so soon, so whatever they wanted to do to Shi Ling would probably be obstructed.

He walked quickly to Shi Ling's bed. Ace wanted to stop him, but he was met with a cold look from him, and his eyes instantly became blurred.

Ace's spiritual energy was floating around him, and he was temporarily trapped in the illusion created by Gu Xiuji.

Shi Zhenxiang was shocked: "Pope, what are you doing..."

Gu Xiuji's brows turned cold: "It's too late. Si Yuchen will do something bad. You protect me and don't let Ace interrupt me."

After saying that, he lifted the pink bed curtain, looked at Shi Ling lying on the bed, reached out to touch her eyebrows, and there was a glow on his fingertips.

He must put the needle on the right track before Si Yuchen arrives and before returning to the Vatican.

He had to restore Shi Ling's memory, but... not all of it.

There are some things that would be good for her, him, and the Shenyue Sect if they were erased.

However, at this moment, a silver arrow filled with evil spirit energy shot towards his back!

"Pope, be careful!"

Shi Zhenxiang originally wanted to stop it, but when he got closer, he found that the evil energy was too strong. He could not block it and would only get hurt, so he stepped back and just shouted.

At the same time, Ace struggled out of the illusion created by Gu Xiuji, and flapped his wings of light and shadow angrily to attack Gu Xiuji.

Shi Zhenxiang watched helplessly as the silver arrow pierced Ace's wings, and couldn't help but reveal a mask of pain. It was so painful to watch, but fortunately he didn't move to block it.

Ace howled in pain, black blood dripping from his shoulder.

He turned around angrily and saw a silver-haired young man in a black robe flying into the air.

Silver patterns of light floated on his black robe, forming ancient and mysterious runes. He held a longbow in his hand and walked leisurely in the air, like an emperor walking out of the abyss of darkness.

Ace covered his bleeding wound and was startled when he saw this person, "Ghost King..."

There are countless evil spirits in the world, but only one in ten thousand can be called the King of Ghosts.

Ace once almost died at the hands of Sang Fu, the ghost king from the underworld of China.

He had just undergone a sex change operation and had a female body. He changed into the women's clothes he had always dreamed of and dressed up beautifully to travel to China. However, he was unexpectedly spotted by the Ghost King Sang Fu, became the bride in his sedan chair, and was forced to marry him in the bridal chamber.

At the last moment, the ghost king Sang Fu discovered that he lacked the hardware, and shouted angrily "The demon deceived me", and almost killed him.

However, the silver-haired young ghost king in black robes in front of him was even more unfathomable than Sang Fu!

But how could the Ghost King of the East ignore the divine barrier and step into the western territory?

Shi Zhenxiang was also surprised when he heard Ace say that this was actually a ghost king. He hurriedly said, "Ghost king, we can talk it over. If you are short of military funds, I can burn them for you, but please don't act rashly."

However, Si Yuan just glanced at him lightly and waved his sleeve to push him aside.

Ace's wings spread out behind him, a staff appeared in his hand, and he cast a spell at Si Yuan.

A huge ball of light came towards him.

However, Si Yuan's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and the next moment, he appeared in front of the bed.

Feeling the evil aura so close, Gu Xiuji could no longer do what he was doing. He turned around and protected Shi Ling behind him. His eyes flashed with a cold green light, and a shadow shot towards the person in front of him.

The bed curtains were blown away by the strong wind, and even Shi Zhenxiang and Ace, who were close to them, were forced to move back a distance. The furniture in the room was shredded by this fierce spiritual power! The walls were mottled and covered with knife marks!

Shi Zhenxiang felt that his villa was shaking!

Unlike the previous confrontation with Ace, the Pope is serious this time!

Si Yuan was also forced back half a step by the surging spiritual power, but at the same time, he drew his silver bow, and the Yin Qi arrow pierced Gu Xiuji's shoulder.

Gu Xiuji didn't have time to dodge.

Because when he saw the face of the ghost king who attacked him, he was suddenly stunned.

This face—

It’s clearly Yu Chen, the young master of the Si family!

However, he was absolutely certain that Si Yuchen was a living person, so how could he become the Ghost King?

It couldn't be that during those few minutes he was waiting at the Wells Manor, he suddenly committed suicide and became a ghost, or had some kind of fortuitous encounter and became the Ghost King?

Si Yuan's eyes were as deep as an ice cave, but the glance he gave him was indifferent and without any emotion, as if he was looking at a stranger he had never met before.

Gu Xiuji, who is well versed in psychology, understood at a glance that this was not Si Yuchen.

But Si Yuchen had just arrived at the Wells Manor, and this ghost king who looked like him also appeared here. Could it be a coincidence?

"Who are you?" Gu Xiuji narrowed his eyes and stared at him and asked.

However, the other party did not fall into his hypnosis trap. Without saying a word, he disappeared from the spot in an instant and appeared behind him.

When Gu Xiuji turned around, Si Yuan had already picked up Shi Ling.

Gu Xiuji's eyes were cold, and the spiritual energy around him surged like a cage covering the world. "Let her go."

Si Yuan just frowned, and the dark purple yin energy wrapped around himself and Shi Ling. He did not confront Gu Xiuji head-on, but directly left through the road to the underworld and disappeared from here.

Gu Xiuji was stunned again.

He never imagined that Shi Ling, a living person, could be taken to the underworld with both soul and body!

In the past, practitioners of the Xuan Sect could reach the underworld through various means, but only the soul could reach the underworld. The physical body, a product of the yang world, was repulsive to the underworld, making it nearly impossible to enter the underworld. Even if a living person accidentally entered the underworld, they would experience an immune response. Moreover, staying in the underworld would severely damage both the physical body and the yang energy.

However, Shi Ling followed the Ghost King into the underworld so smoothly, as if she belonged there.

This is not only unscientific, it's also unrealistic!

If he had not grown up with Shi Ling as a childhood sweetheart, and if he had not been so convinced that Shi Ling was a living person, he would have thought that Shi Ling was a ghost.
