Chapter 117 Modern Supernatural 21
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Ghost King..."
Although he had some guesses about Shi Heng's identity, when this answer was placed in front of him, Nan Rui's heart still sank. When
the Ghost King is born, all things will perish.
In the world of Heavenly Masters, this prophecy is like a sword hanging high in the air, falling down mercilessly at a certain moment.
How could it be...
the Ghost King...
This is really tricky.
Nan Rui's worried eyes fell on Mu Guishuang.
"He didn't kill anyone."
Mu Guishuang stood still and blocked in front of Shi Heng.
He knew that this sentence could not shake their determination to eliminate Shi Heng.
But he still wanted to plead for Shi Heng. At least, he wanted these people to know that Shi Heng had the ability to control himself.
"They haven't harmed anyone yet, but they may harm people in the future."
The leading Heavenly Master said coldly.
"Ghosts" are creatures born from "obsession" and are extremely stubborn. They
may start a killing spree in a moment.
Once stained with blood, their spirits become more crazy and stubborn, and their desire for power becomes stronger.
In the end, they fall into a vicious cycle that they can never get out of.
In reality, such examples are everywhere.
Not to mention Shi Heng's identity and his power, which are the existence that countless people fear.
It is precisely because they know too much and understand too well that facing a ghost king who is still in the growth stage, no one dares to gamble the lives of tens of millions of people on him.
"Mu Guishuang! Are you determined to violate the rules of the Tianshi world?"
The first rule of the Tianshi world is not to shelter or protect ghosts and evil spirits for any reason.
"Little Master..."
Nan Rui lowered his voice and pulled Mu Guishuang's sleeve.
Now is not a good time to confront the Tianshi Association head-on. After all, they protected Shi Heng and suffered losses first.
Once Mu Guishuang publicly admitted to breaking the first rule, it would mean that he was openly hostile to the Tianshi world.
"I am willing to accept the punishment."
After saying this, Mu Guishuang turned around and looked at Shi Heng with a gloomy face:
"You can go."
Seeing Mu Guishuang turned around, the anger burning in Shi Heng's heart was extinguished instantly. His tone was low, his brows lowered, and he was as lost as a puppy caught in the rain:
"I'm sorry, I messed up again."
He shouldn't have stayed with Mu Guishuang selfishly.
And he shouldn't have met Mu Guishuang because of his own selfish desires.
In the end, Mu Guishuang was in a dilemma.
Maybe their very first meeting was a mistake.
Shi Heng looked gloomy.
"No, you are right."
Mu Guishuang touched Shi Heng's black hair, hugged him gently, and whispered in his ear:
"I am lucky to meet you again."
"Let's meet again in a month, okay?"
Shi Heng never learned to refuse Mu Guishuang's request, so he nodded heavily.
Mu Guishuang smiled and gently pushed Shi Heng away: "Then say goodbye first."
"What are you still standing there for!? Don't let him run away!"
Seeing the intimacy between Mu Guishuang and Shi Heng, the leading Tianshi knew why Mu Guishuang was so stubborn.
Nan Rui covered his face and watched the actions of Mu Guishuang and Shi Heng. Seeing that this group of people still wanted to stop Shi Heng, he shook his head and said, "I can't stop him."
Just like when he came, Shi Heng turned into a black mist and instantly dissipated into the air.
Even though a group of Heavenly Masters looked left and right at the air, they couldn't find any trace of Shi Heng.
"Mu Guishuang! You let the Ghost King go privately and openly protected him. You really don't take the Heavenly Master's precepts seriously!"
The leading Heavenly Master was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Are you really not afraid of the punishment of the association?!"
Mu Guishuang rolled up his sleeves indifferently and walked straight forward.
"All is up to you."

"Brother, what should we do?"
After Zhou Zhile finished practicing, he sat down next to Nan Rui, worried:
"Will they really punish Junior Uncle?"
"He can't escape punishment."
Nan Rui also had a headache: "If it was an ordinary ghost, you could just let it go, but who is it? The Ghost King!"
"This is a matter of life and death for the Tianshi world, and Junior Uncle intervened and openly stood on Shi Heng's side. How can the Tianshi Association not be angry?"
"But, I think Shi Heng did nothing evil, and he even helped us..."
Zhou Zhile didn't understand why they had to eliminate him?
"That's what you think!"
"There are only a few of us, how can we testify?"
Nan Rui sighed:
"The Heavenly Master has been fighting with ghosts and evil spirits for hundreds of years. How can the hostility and prejudice accumulated over hundreds of years be eliminated so easily?"
"Besides," Nan Rui lowered his voice, "you really don't understand the intimidation of the existence of the "Ghost King" to the Heavenly Master world?"
"Once fully grown, the Ghost King can command hundreds of ghosts and be able to defeat thousands of troops alone."
"People like you and me will be cannon fodder if we go up there. It's just a matter of moving our fingers."
"Ah... is it so scary?"
Zhou Zhile swallowed, "No wonder they are so wary of Shi Heng."
"So, this is really troublesome!"
Nan Rui supported himself on the ground with his hands and stood up. "The Tianshi Association held a meeting. Qi, Nan, and Mu all went. It was probably to discuss this matter."
"I hope Master can plead for Junior Uncle and give him a lighter punishment."
*
"Brother, you don't have to plead for me."
Mu Guishuang knelt in front of the Mu family's ancestral hall, his back straight, like a green pine.
"Ziyun, you..." Mu Guiyuan wanted to persuade him.
Mu Guishuang shook his head: "Violating the rules is a fact and cannot be excused."
"Ziyun feels ashamed of the Mu family and is willing to be punished."
No matter what, the matter of shielding the Ghost King has been done.
"--For a period of one month."
Mu Guishuang didn't want Mu Guiyuan to break the rules because of him alone, and it also made it difficult for the Mu family to obey the public.
Since it was said that Mu Guishuang was solely responsible for the matter, the Mu family must make the necessary statement.
At this time, they should not let him off the hook.
How could Mu Guiyuan not know the twists and turns in this matter?
But he still felt distressed.
His little junior brother had been introverted and quiet since he was a child, and he was thoughtful. He looked like a good child in the eyes of his parents.
But it was precisely because he would not easily reveal his inner needs and kept everything in his heart that he was more likely to be wronged and bullied.
Just like most of the time, adults pay attention to those children who are lively, noisy, and will make some small requests to them. If
Mu Guishuang didn't say it, Mu Guiyuan didn't know whether his little junior brother had suffered such grievances along the way.
Until Shi Heng showed up -
his character was probably the opposite of Mu Guishuang's.
Perhaps even the master who brought Shi Heng back with Ziyun at that time did not expect that the skinny and helpless child would grow up to be like this.
Lively and unrestrained.
Thinking of this, Mu Guiyuan sighed and waved his hand:
"Forget it, there is no one guarding here, Ziyun, you can rest here for a while."
Mu Guiyuan hoped that his little junior brother would not be so stubborn, at least learn to be a little "smart" and not kneel here stupidly for a month.
"As for that matter... I believe Shi Heng will not hurt you, but the issue of identity is ultimately an insurmountable gap. Ziyun, don't... at least don't get close to Shi Heng in public."
Mu Guiyuan said this with a hard heart and left.
Mu Guishuang knelt alone in front of the ancestral hall. The altar was full of candles. The dim candlelight hit his thick eyelashes and cast a shadow under his eyes.
"But I promised him..."
See you later.
