"You're not dead yet, are you? Don't worry."
Jiang Deng shifted his gaze away from Bai Sitang and turned to look at the group of ghost cultivators.
The ghost cultivators were restricted by the power of the formation and were completely trapped within it. No matter how powerful their attacks were, they could not break the formation.
"Great! How dare you trick us!"
Realizing this, the ghost cultivators immediately became angry and looked at Jiang Deng angrily, "Your companions are also in the formation. Aren't you afraid that we will eat your companions?"
"That's right! If you don't let us out, we'll eat your companions!"
…
Hearing this, Jiang Deng immediately cooperated and showed a frightened expression, "I'm so scared."
The leading ghost cultivator immediately became proud, "Since you are afraid, just let us out!"
Jiang Deng coughed lightly, his expression becoming more teasing as he said, "I'm suddenly not afraid anymore. If you want to eat him, go ahead."
"No way!"
Before the ghost cultivators could do anything, Bai Sitang was the first to show fear, repeatedly patting the transparent barrier of the formation. "Jiang Deng, we are in the same group! How can you help the ghost cultivators?"
"Really?" Jiang Deng wondered, "But why would my companion steal my things?"
Bai Sitang: “…”
The Mermaid Pearl is too important to him, so of course he would snatch it if he had the chance. Can you blame him for that?
"Brothers, what are you still standing there for? Eat this brat! Even if we can't break the formation, it will at least make you feel better!"
The ghost cultivators were also angered by Jiang Deng, and they all rushed towards Bai Sitang with their fists rubbing, wanting to devour him.
"Don't eat this young master!"
Bai Sitang huddled in the corner with his head in his hands, screaming in pain.
Seeing that the ghost cultivators were about to touch Bai Sitang, Jiang Deng, who was outside the formation, quickly injected the power of chaos into the formation and said in a cold voice: "Ghost-killing formation, imprison ghosts!"
Inside the magic circle, countless white chains grew out from the bottom, tightly binding the ghost cultivators, making them unable to move.
"Ahhh! You're really going too far!"
The ghost cultivators were so angry that they were shaking all over and wished they could cut Jiang Deng into pieces, but this formation completely bound them up and now they were the ones who were at the mercy of others.
Jiang Deng smiled slightly, "Excuse me everyone, I don't have any deep prejudice against you, I just want to ask you a few questions. If you are willing to answer, I will send you home immediately."
Upon hearing that they still had a chance to survive, the ghost cultivators quickly calmed down, looked at each other, and then lowered their voices to discuss.
"No way? Can you trust what humans say?"
"Aren't we all human before we die? I think we can still give it a try."
"Yes, the words of righteous people are more reliable."
…
After the ghost cultivators finished discussing, the bald ghost cultivator in the lead said, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
Jiang Deng looked eager to learn. "To be honest, we're new to the Ghost Realm and don't know anything. I wonder if you fellow ghosts could tell us a little about the division of power in the Ghost Realm?"
"It's normal that you don't know."
Noticing Jiang Deng's respect for him, the bald ghost cultivator coughed lightly and nodded pretentiously, saying, "The ghost cultivators in our Ghost Realm all respect the Ghost Emperor. The Ghost Emperor has always been mysterious and rarely visits other spiritual realms, so we follow his lead and only operate in the Ghost Realm."
"As for the division of power in the Ghost Realm? That's actually quite simple. There are over a hundred ghost cities in the Ghost Realm, with the Netherworld Ghost City at the head. The Netherworld Ghost City is the residence of the Ghost Emperor."
"There is a reincarnation pool in the Netherworld Ghost City. All the deceased souls will be attracted there. The reincarnation water inside can cleanse all the remaining memories of the cultivator's spirit and give the soul new life."
"Of course, the one in charge of the Samsara Pool is our Ghost Realm's Ghost Emperor, Xiao Chen!"
After saying this, the bald ghost cultivator had a look of pride on his face, as if when he mentioned the Ghost Emperor, his entire ghost image became taller and brighter.
"So that's how it is..."
Jiang Deng nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that if he wanted to seek revenge on his seventh disciple, he would have to go to the underworld.
"I wonder where the ghosts in the underworld are?" Jiang Deng asked.
The bald ghost cultivator pointed south, "Go south. Stop wherever you see the most magnificent ancient city. You'll definitely find it. I've told you everything. Now you can finally let us go home, right?"
Although his tone was sincere, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the bald ghost cultivator.
It’s true that he told Jiang Deng the truth, but he also hid some information, for example... he is the subordinate of the Ghost Emperor!
Since this human let him out of the formation, then just wait for his revenge!
If he could snatch such a precious thing as the Mermaid Pearl and present it to the Ghost Emperor, he would definitely be appreciated by the Ghost Emperor!
"Thank you."
Jiang Deng seemed completely oblivious to the bald ghost cultivator's ill intentions. She continued smiling and said, "I'll take you home right now."
After saying that, Jiang Deng's expression suddenly changed, and he activated the formation again, "Ghost-killing formation, kill ghosts!"
Bang bang bang!
The chains that had just tied up the ghost cultivators were suddenly tightened, and in an instant, several ghost cultivators with low strength were scared to death.
The bald ghost cultivator looked at Jiang Deng angrily, "Human! You lied to the ghosts! You said that if we just answer your questions, you'd let us go home!"
"That's right," Jiang Deng nodded and explained seriously, "I'm sending you back to your hometown. You were human beings in your previous lives. The only way to go back is to die again. Then your souls will naturally return to your hometown, right?"
“…Ahhhh!”
The bald ghost cultivator was so angry at Jiang Deng that he screamed and yelled. However, as the chains continued to tighten, the ghost energy in his body began to flow out, and his body became more and more empty, turning into a thin layer.
"Just wait!"
The bald ghost cultivator was furious. He stared at Jiang Deng with eyes filled with hatred, "My big brother Mao Fang will never forgive you! He is a favorite of the Ghost Emperor!"
After saying this, the bald ghost cultivator didn't wait for the formation to completely kill him, but took the initiative to commit suicide. His body turned into several faint black ghost energy and dissipated between heaven and earth...
"Huh?"
Jiang Deng was stunned when he saw the bald ghost cultivator's actions. He remembered the bald ghost cultivator's regret and muttered to himself, "Toilet? Oh no, Mao Fang, why does this name sound so familiar?"
All the ghost cultivators were killed, and the ghost-killing formation naturally no longer existed. Bai Sitang finally escaped from the formation safely.
But he still hadn't recovered from his shock, and his eyes were still a little dull.
"Um, Jiang Deng, what should we do next?"
After Jiang Deng's series of unconventional actions, Bai Sitang was really scared. He walked towards Jiang Deng tremblingly.
"Will you wait a few days until your ability to tear space is restored and then return to the Baiqian Spirit Realm, or will you continue to stay in the Ghost Realm?"
