Chapter 388: Oppression from Hades
Murong Jinran was surprised and said, "A statue full of negative energy?"
"How can we let Master Jiang take it out? Just name a price. We will definitely not bargain." The old patriarch said, patting his chest.
Jiang Ci smiled faintly and shook his head: "No need, I am happy to see the Jiang family suffer."
Besides, the statue with a broken hand can absorb luck, so it is not a waste if it is handed over to the Jiang clan.
Afterwards, Jiang Ci went into a dream to find Hades and asked him to go back to his home in Yu Shui Bay in the small world and bring her the statue of the severed hand.
Pluto agreed readily and went directly to Yu Shui Bay.
As soon as he approached, the Ghost King and Su Wuming felt a strong pressure.
Neither of the two ghosts had ever seen Hades, let alone who the visitor was. They just thought he was seeking revenge.
Su Wuming gave the Ghost King a wink, and the two of them ambushed behind the door.
As Hades' left foot stepped into the door, a sharp hand blade came towards him.
He reacted quickly and grabbed Su Wuming's ghost hand.
Unexpectedly, another sprinter kicked hard from the left.
Pluto waved his hand indifferently.
Before the Ghost King and Su Wuming could react, they were already flying several meters away.
"Oh no! A powerful evil ghost has come to our door!" The ghost king shouted at the top of his voice: "Dr. Xiaobai, Professor Luo, you two should run first--"
"Su Wuming and I will hold him back!"
Two ghosts flew over, each holding one leg, and they held on to Hades' long legs tightly and refused to let go.
The next second, Hades saw Bai Chujiu running towards him with two large stacks of talisman papers.
His thin lips twitched slightly, and he said calmly: "I am entrusted by Ah Ci to come and take away the statue of the broken hand."
When Bai Chujiu heard the master's name, he braked in time and held the talisman in a defensive position, "Master asked you to come?"
The King of Hell waved his sleeves casually again, and the Ghost King and Su Wuming flew out again.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Bai Chujiu asked tentatively.
Hades said indifferently: "The Lord of the Underworld, Hades."
"Underworld..." Su Wuming's face changed, "You are Hades?!"
"King of Hell?" The Ghost King was so frightened that he quickly pulled Su Wuming to kneel on the ground, "Greetings, King of Hell."
Hades frowned slightly, "What era is it? Why are you still kneeling?"
Bai Chujiu didn't dare to hand over the things easily for fear of being scammed, so he suggested contacting his master to see.
She made a phone call, and after getting confirmation from Jiang Ci, she respectfully said to Hades, "Master Hades, Master said that the Broken Hand Statue can be given to you. Please come in with me."
Hades walked into the living room and took the statue with the severed hand.
The two ghosts kneeling on the ground didn't dare to stand up and were almost crawling on the ground.
The Ghost King trembled and whispered, "As expected of the Lord of the Underworld, this aura is too oppressive."
Su Wuming, however, has a different opinion: "Master Jiang is truly extraordinary. She always refreshes my worldview."
"It's already awesome to have the underworld messenger carry the sedan chair, but I didn't expect that this time, the Lord of the Underworld would have to deliver a courier to her..."
"Why do I feel like Master Jiang is even more powerful than Hades..."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If Hades hears you, he will throw you into the frying pan."
The next second, Hades came to him with the statue with a severed hand.
The two men were so terrified that they almost buried themselves in the ground.
"Ah Ci is more capable than this king. You two have protected her home with all your heart. From now on, this king will remember you for a great deed."
Upon hearing this, Ghost King and Su Wuming were so excited that they almost jumped three feet high, "Thank you, Pluto!"
Pluto turned around and left Yu Shui Bay, and quickly arrived at Murong's house in the Zhongqian Realm.
Jiang Ci sat alone in the garden pavilion drinking tea.
Sensing the fluctuations of Yin energy around her, she poured a cup of tea opposite her with a smile in her eyes.
"Ah Ci~"
Pluto appeared in response.
The statue with a broken hand appeared before her.
"The little guy is quite obedient to you." Jiang Ci touched the head of the statue, "Sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving."
Hades sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said disdainfully: "This tastes worse than what you brought me from the mortal world a thousand years ago. It's far worse."
"Did you find any clues?"
He saw right through her.
Jiang Ci nodded: "I went to the Jiang tribe, and their access control is very interesting."
"oh?"
Jiang Ci dipped his fingertips in some tea and drew a simple spell on the table.
"This picture looks familiar." Hades suddenly thought of something, "Ghost Gate?"
Jiang Ci nodded.
After she came back, she pondered over it again and again, unraveling the complicated restrictions in the Jiang clan's access control system like peeling off layers of silk, and finally found a clue.
Pluto raised his eyebrows: "This is interesting."
"The Jiang Clan is using the Ghost Gate Restriction that you created a thousand years ago. Could it be that the person behind the Jiang Clan is actually... you?"
Jiang Ci rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "How is it possible? The last time I came to the Middle Thousand Realms was a thousand years ago. After a thousand years, I don't even know what the Ghost Gate has become now. How could they be related to the Jiang Clan?"
"However, the spells on that gate are complicated, and the ghost gate restriction is hidden at the bottom. If I hadn't created it myself, I might not even be able to see it."
"The Jiang Clan used layers of restrictions to strengthen the gate, and the Ghost Gate restrictions are not easy to detect."
Hades said with a smile: "Then I have nothing to worry about. Ghost Gate is your territory, and it is no small matter for you to take action."
"Okay, I've delivered the Broken Hand Statue. Mission accomplished. I'm leaving now."
He stood up, waved goodbye and was about to leave.
Jiang Ci was a little surprised: "Wait a minute, that's not right."
Pluto tilted his head and asked her cutely, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Jiang Ci narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down. "Every time I summoned you, you dragged your feet and refused to leave. What's the matter now? Are you in a hurry to leave?"
Hades curled his lips and took the initiative to move closer, "Aci, do you mean to keep me by your side for a while longer?"
"Just tell me earlier. I'll stick to you every day if you say just one word."
Jiang Ci: “…”
Pointing to the distance.
"Let's go, let's go quickly, this is too corny, it gives me goosebumps all over the floor."
"I still say the same thing. If you need anything, you can call me at any time. I'll be here." Hades smiled, turned around and disappeared from her sight.
Jiang Ci picked up the statue with the broken hand, carved a spell into it, and then gave the statue some instructions.
When the grim-faced statue of a broken-handed god heard that there was more delicious food, and a chance to eat until he burst, his expression became cheerful, and the corners of his mouth even raised a little strangely.
Jiang Ci brought the statue with the severed hand to the Murong family.
When the old patriarch saw the statue with a broken hand, he was shocked on the spot: "Such a powerful statue is really going to be given to the Jiang clan for free?"
Murong Yun didn't see what was so amazing about it, "Grandpa, isn't this just an ordinary statue?"
"How can it be ordinary? It's not ordinary at all." The old patriarch said solemnly, "This is a statue of a fallen god!"
