Chapter 26: Night Walk 7 I am immoral, but not vulgar
Gu Chaoyin smiled bitterly, "It's just because I'm trapped in a jar, I have no choice."
"I caused such a big commotion in Fengdu City, how could I have let him down? Since you came to me, didn't you foresee the consequences?"
Ji Lingche: "However, I thought you would go to great lengths for your friends. It seems I overestimated you."
Gu Chaoyin: "Stop mocking me. Your heart is as clear as a mirror. The grudges are your own grudges, and the cause and effect are also your own cause and effect. No one can interfere—"
A thick ghostly aura permeated the entire building, and the gamblers downstairs suddenly screamed in fear. Since these people could enter Fengdu City to gamble, their cultivation must be quite high. They could hear the sound of weapons being unsheathed, but before they could make a move, they quickly stopped fighting, wailing as if they were seriously injured, and then their breath gradually disappeared along with the wailing, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead.
I could only hear bursts of ghostly panting gradually approaching, as if it was approaching step by step along the stairs!
The panting of this ghost was different from the ghosts encountered before. Not only was it clear-headed, it also seemed well-trained. It came so quickly that it made people's hair stand on end.
Gu Chaoyin said nothing. She took off a dark, cold ring from her finger, flicked it straight into Ji Lingche's arms, and put her finger to her lips: "Shh..."
He said through the air in Ji Lingche's sea of consciousness: "This is for you. Don't bring up the past and accuse me of being unfair."
Ji Lingche held the ring in his palm. The cold texture was strange and he couldn't warm it up no matter how hard he tried.
She was startled, her heart suddenly pounding, and a strong sense of unease arose. What was this thing...
She opened her palm and saw the ring glowing with cold light and having a strange shape. She looked at Gu Chaoyin in disbelief.
Gu Chaoyin had no expression on her face, as if she was just giving away some ordinary item.
He just chuckled and said in a relaxed tone: "Master, good luck."
Ji Lingche stared at Gu Chaoyin, a smile on his lips, and tightly grasped the ring. When he opened his hand again, the ring had disappeared.
At this moment, a negative energy rushed towards him, and he saw ghosts everywhere outside the door, but no ghost dared to rush in. They just quietly gathered outside the box, as if they were listening to orders.
Suddenly the curtain was drawn aside, and a male ghost who looked like a leader strode in.
Ji Lingche didn't move, still leaning lazily on the couch. He turned his head to look at the door and couldn't help squinting his eyes.
Oh, an acquaintance.
The male ghost clasped his fists at her and smiled, "Little Immortal, how are you?"
Ji Lingche stared at him closely and sneered for a long time: "Chen Ran."
Chen Ran now looks like a ghost.
His face was covered with dark blue lines, and the ugly raised marks extended along his neck into his collar, making it almost impossible to discern his original appearance.
Sharp fangs emerged from its mouth, and its hands had completely transformed into a pair of sharp claws, with black sharp nails protruding from its flesh, as if it could cut off a person's head with a light wave.
Ji Lingche sneered: "I thought you were murdered and was so sad for you, but I didn't expect you to be so satisfied with yourself now."
Chen Ran spoke in a very respectful tone: "I later learned that the city lord had put so much effort into cultivating me—"
Ji Lingche: "Strange, you actually feel grateful to someone who killed you, humiliated you, and tortured your wife, children, and mother right in front of you, and you call all of this his 'cultivation' of you?!"
Before Chen Ran could say anything, Gu Chaoyin interrupted, "No wonder, no wonder, it turns out to be 'Ao Gui Jiang'?"
Ji Lingche glanced at Gu Chaoyin and asked knowingly, "Tempering a ghost general? I'd have to ask Boss Gu about this. I've only heard of tampering with an eagle before. Could it be that this ghost can also endure like an eagle?!"
Before Chen Ran could say anything, she heard Gu Chaoyin and her singing a duet—
"What the Immortals don't know is that the ghost generals under our Lord Ghost are all first-rate evil spirits!"
"Ordinary dead people, without any resentment, fragile and ethereal - tell me, can such ghosts be of great use?"
Ji Lingche: "So, the more tragic the death and the deeper the resentment, the more the ghost cultivators desire it?"
Gu Chaoyin nodded: "Yes, but how can there be so many evil spirits in this world? Moreover, the requirements to become a ghost general of the Ghost Lord are even more stringent. It is simply one in a million."
Chen Ran's expression grew worse, but the two of them continued talking as if no one was around.
Ji Lingche: "Evil ghosts are hard to come by, so wouldn't the ghost generals he has at his disposal be enough?"
Gu Chaoyin: "That's why we need to endure the ghost generals!"
"Our Lord Ghost will deliberately seek out those mortals with extremely strong aspirations, first show them favor and give them benefits, so that they will be loyal to him and openly obey him. Then, on a sunny night, he will cut them into pieces—"
Ji Lingche: "Is this it?"
Gu Chaoyin smiled: "It's far from enough. His own resentment comes and goes quickly. If you want to have an endless supply of resentment to drive it, you must treat the symptoms, destroy the things he cares about, and completely annihilate all his hopes."
"For example, he could watch his wife, children, parents, and loved ones die tragically before his eyes, leaving him heartbroken and dying."
"Only in this way can the resentment and hatred that surge endlessly transform into a powerful and sinister ghostly aura..."
Chen Ran was already gritting his teeth, and Ji Lingche said, "I'm grateful for your advice."
Gu Chaoyin: "This isn't the end yet. After all, there's a deep blood feud between them. How could a new ghost surrender to their enemy? Therefore, it's common for them to turn around and kill their master. This kind of ghost is simply too fierce. All the training we've put in before is in vain. We can only kill him once and for all."
"And after going through layers of screening, only one in a million remains, filled with resentment yet willing to serve him. So, tell me, isn't this complex process comparable to training an eagle?"
Gu Chaoyin is very good at speaking, his voice is clear, but his speaking speed is very fast and people can hear what he says clearly. Chen Ran wanted to interrupt him, but he was unable to say a word!
Ji Lingche laughed and said, "Boss Gu is absolutely right. People with shallow immortal affinity can't even draw Qi into their bodies, but they suddenly transform themselves, just by dying, and become the right-hand man of some damn emperor. How can this not be considered a quick ascension to heaven?"
"What are family ties, righteousness, and integrity? What are they worth in the face of power? Deep hatred and deep resentment are probably being sold at a low price of two cents per pound, right?"
How could Chen Ran not know the sarcasm and ridicule these two were making towards him? He felt murderous intent rising in his heart. He thought that even though he had killed a few cultivators to practice since becoming a ghost, he had never had the chance to truly test the divine position.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Lingche. No, this person was specifically requested by the Ghost Lord. How could he dare to overstep his bounds? Then he set his sights on the lazy Gu Chaoyin.
Gu Chaoyin seemed to guess what he was thinking, and suddenly turned around to look at him, facing him!
His eyes seemed to contain a pool of clear water, which was affectionate and gentle, but Chen Ran suddenly felt a chill on his spine. He saw a red light suddenly flash in the left eye of the ancient tower master.
He seemed to be suddenly bewitched. Waves of loud noises swirled in his mind, nearly shaking him to the point of bleeding. The sound kept repeating itself over and over again:
"Go to hell! You're not even worthy of being a ghost, you're not even worthy of having a soul..."
Suddenly, Ji Lingche called out to him, "Chen Ran, your claws are exposed."
Chen Ran suddenly woke up from the nightmare as if from a dream. He felt weak all over and his feet were weak. He almost couldn't stand. What caught his eyes was a pair of pitch-black claws!
His own ghost claws were poking at his neck. If he hadn't gotten away a moment later, he would have strangled himself to death.
But Gu Chaoyin gently held his forehead with his hand and pressed his left eye where red light had just flashed.
Chen Ran gasped for breath, but was keenly aware of Gu Chaoyin's abnormality.
He knew that Ji Lingche suddenly called him, it couldn't be to save him, it could only be that the magic consumed too much energy and Gu Chaoyin could not hold on any longer.
He sneered: "Boss Gu's use of this bewitching technique will backfire severely—"
Gu Chaoyin just snorted coldly and didn't respond. Chen Ran said, "I really like your eyes. I will come to get them one day."
Ji Lingche: "Hey, hey, hey, stop pretending to be rich, okay?"
"You've just gotten a little bit of sorcery, and you're already so arrogant, thinking you're unmatched?"
Chen Ran's expression seemed to grow increasingly cold, but in the end, he simply sneered, his voice becoming hoarse and shrill: "If you are an immortal, you should save your words and save them for dealing with our master!"
His expression grew darker, and he made a "please" gesture, his tone threatening: "Will the immortal leave on his own, or will he come down to 'invite' you?"
Ji Lingche looked at him with interest: "Since Yan Jinchen wanted to see me, why didn't he come himself but asked you to come instead? Could it be that -"
A sneer appeared on her lips: "That bitch is now disabled and can't move, so she asked you to do it for her?"
Ji Lingche hit the nail on the head.
Yan Jinchen was seriously injured by her back then, and although he survived now, he was just barely alive. At least his physical body was crippled. Otherwise, based on his personality, he would not have hidden in Fengdu City for decades.
He would not send anyone to capture her to sacrifice to Lingche. As long as his body could move, he would surely be eager to come and pay his respects to his old friend in person.
Her words hit Chen Ran right in the heart.
Chen Ran had turned into a fierce ghost with extremely heavy murderous sins, and he would explode at any moment. It was not easy for him to endure for so long.
Ji Lingche provoked him several times with words, and the anger he had been holding back finally erupted. His black claws grew several inches longer, his eyes rolled back, and instantly became cloudy. Every time he moved his neck, there was a crackling sound.
Ji Lingche smiled and sighed, "You go crazy when I say a few words to him. You're so protective of your master..."
"I'm sorry." Before Chen Ran finished speaking, a pair of ghost claws had already grabbed towards her heart!
Gu Chaoyin was about to stop him but it was too late. She blurted out, "Be careful!"
Ji Lingche didn't move, but saw the pair of sharp claws hanging just an inch away from his heart, and suddenly stopped. His ghost face was so close, saliva dripped down the tip of his teeth -
With a "clang" sound, Chen Ran's ghost claw was hit by something, and then the thing exploded!
It turned into thin threads, spread upwards along his arms, and finally tied up his whole body tightly!
Chen Ran let out a low, suppressed roar from his throat. He tried to break free, but the binding became tighter and tighter, until he was finally wrapped tightly, like a cocoon.
I only heard him wailing in the cocoon, in great pain.
Something was constantly expanding in his body, almost about to blow him to pieces—
Previously, he mobilized his resentment and turned it into a killing move. When his endless anger and murderous intent were about to burst out, he was bound by this cocoon-like thing. He had nowhere to vent, and all of it was backfired. The resentment was out of control and kept wandering in his body, making him almost explode and die!
This move is not only extremely insidious, but also knows the ghost's vital points, and can almost kill it with one blow.
Chen Ran rolled around on the ground, howling non-stop, and began to curse obscenely -
Ji Lingche raised his hands helplessly: "Why are you scolding me? I didn't do anything."
Surprisingly, the ghosts waiting outside the door heard their leader wailing in the house, but did not come in.
It can be seen that a person of higher status has arrived, and the ghosts dare not act rashly.
Suddenly, a sneer was heard, and a person was seen standing behind the door curtain with his sleeves folded. One could only glimpse the person's snow-white clothes, which seemed to be spotless, and seemed a bit out of place in Fengcheng.
The person's voice was originally very cold, but when she spoke, the tone was curved and winding, bringing out some deliberate coquettishness that made people's teeth ache, and even a bit of hard-to-conceal viciousness was mixed in with it: "Senior Sister, long time no see."
When he heard this tone, Ji Lingche felt a chill.
She gently held her forehead with her hand and said, "First of all, I'm not your senior sister. Don't you think it's a bit presumptuous of you to say that?"
"Also, why did you hit Chen Ran? Are you trying to steal the credit? Aren't we all just serving Yan Jinchen like dogs? Why are we fighting among ourselves?"
The door curtain moved and a "woman" walked in. At first glance, she was an acquaintance.
I have seen this body before in Chen Mansion. It is exactly the cousin of Chen Mansion. But everyone can see that the person occupying this body is the female ghost who flirted with the servant!
The cousin's spine was originally straight, but the female ghost who occupied her body at this time was swaying gracefully with every step. There was a smile in her eyes as she looked at Ji Lingche, but there was endless hatred in them.
She said quietly, with a hint of provocation in her tone: "I beat my cousin, is it your turn to care?"
Ji Lingche was surprised and said, "This is really shameless to the extreme."
"He's taking over my cousin's body, and he's acting so confidently."
Ah Si approached her step by step, like a white moth covered in poison, with a crazy look on his face, staring at Ji Lingche, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Ji Lingche was sitting there without moving, and Ah Si walked straight up to her.
Ji Lingche looked up at her.
Ah Si also looked down at her, then slowly bent down and looked straight into her eyes. The two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. She smiled for a long time.
"Ji Guanlan, what on earth are you so proud of?"
Ji Lingche: "You dare to address me by my full name, you really have grown in ability."
Ah Si reached out and gently stroked her neck: "You said I was taking over your body, could it be that this body is yours?"
"——You are always like this, looking down on others, but why don't you look down and see how bad you are?"
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "I am immoral, but not vulgar."
"And Yan Jinchen and you, you are truly disgusting, aren't you?"
Ah Si slowly grasped her neck, his movements gentle and affectionate, and whispered in her ear, "Really? Master, how do you feel about dying at the hands of your most disgusting maid?"
Ji Lingche didn't feel anything: "You are really crazy, why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Even if they want to kill me, it's not your turn, okay?"
Ah Si's grip slowly tightened. "The Ghost Master, out of consideration for our fellow disciples, might not be able to bring himself to kill you. Then I'll do it for him, saving him the trouble."
Ji Lingche sneered. No wonder this guy suddenly appeared and injured Chen Ran. It turned out that this was his plan.
He carried Yan Jinchen on his back and ran over to kill her in advance.
It's not just that she's afraid that Yan Jinchen will let her go.
What Ah Si feared even more was that Yan Jinchen would be killed by her.
Therefore, even if Ah Si risked his own death, he would never let Ji Lingche appear before Yan Jinchen alive.
Ah Si's hand around her neck suddenly tightened!
