"Alright, I've answered so many of your questions to show my sincerity. Now, shouldn't you tell me the whereabouts of the 'Inner Chapter'?" The Ghost King's face flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "You should know that once I make a move, I can absorb their souls, and then things won't look good for everyone."
It wasn't that he was afraid to kill, but he couldn't figure out what the relationship was between Jing Teng and these women. On the surface, they seemed like rivals in love, and theoretically, he should have wished they were all dead. But before, she had asked the Immortal Lord for a chance on behalf of Qiu Honglei, and she also seemed to smile and gesture to several other women often.
Furthermore, if anything happens to the others, Zu'an will definitely be his sworn enemy, which means Jing Teng will also be his sworn enemy, making it even more impossible for him to tell him the whereabouts of the "Inner Chapter".
That's definitely not the situation he wants to see. Why resort to fighting when a problem can be solved through negotiation?
Jing Teng's expression was solemn; he wanted to say something, but didn't know how.
At this point, the Ghost King grew impatient and sneered, "Oh, I see. You're deliberately refusing to give it to me so you can use me to get rid of these rivals, right?"
Jing Teng's expression changed. This was a veiled attack on her conscience. Even if she didn't mean it that way, his words might make the other girls suspicious.
At this moment, Qiu Honglei spoke up: "Stop trying to sow discord. I've spent time with Jing-meimei all this time, and I know she's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She would never do anything so despicable."
This old cucumber painted green has an unknown age, but we still need to establish its sisterhood.
Hmph, Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman are too close. I'm a bit outnumbered and need to get some help from others.
Now it seems that even with Jing Teng, it might not be enough. She has known A Zu for too short a time. Should she also try to get Xie Daoyun involved?
However, given her prestigious background, she probably looks down on us demonic women from the cult and is definitely closer to Chu Chuyan's side.
Thinking of these things, a faint trace of sorrow appeared on her face.
Yan Xuehen couldn't help but glance at Yun Jianyue. How could your disciple speak up for other women?
Yun Jianyue thought to herself, "What do you, a cold and aloof woman, know? Even if we demonic women are tearing each other apart in our hearts, we must still appear kind and understanding in front of men. This will create a stark contrast with those jealous women and help us hold onto men's hearts more firmly."
Hong Lei is amazing! She truly deserves to be my precious apprentice!
Even in a power struggle within the household, they'll make those women suffer, especially the Ice Stone Woman's apprentice.
At this moment, Chu Chuyan and the others also spoke up, telling Jing Teng not to overthink it. They had all been outstanding women since childhood, each with their own pride. How could they accept the enemy threatening their friends with their own safety?
Moreover, with so many of us on our side now, if a fight really breaks out, we might not be without a chance.
Seeing their united hatred, the Ghost King was furious: "Fine, fine, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
Although he had some reservations before, he had no reason to back down now.
As soon as the words were spoken, the face in mid-air suddenly swelled up, its mouth wide open, and an invisible wave spread out.
The Demonic Sound Absorbs Souls!
Jing Teng seemed to have been prepared, and instantly formed a hand seal to summon the phantom of Xuanwu, which enveloped everyone.
However, under the Ghost King's powerful demonic sound attack, the Xuanwu's phantom flickered, and it was on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
At this moment, Yan Xuehen also moved. She came from a Taoist sect and was also skilled in formations. With a tap of her toes and her fingers held up in front of her nose, a white rune formation quickly appeared under her feet.
This magic array has the effect of warding off evil spirits and strengthening defenses.
Snowflakes danced within the magic circle, and soon the white magic circle spun upwards, blessing the entire phantom of Xuanwu.
The light of Xuanwu shone brightly, then gradually stabilized.
Xie Daoyun also realized what was happening and formed a series of complex hand seals. A light blue magic circle appeared beneath everyone's feet. This was a spirit-gathering array, which could greatly increase the speed at which the person inside the array could recover their vital energy.
At the same time, blue rune arrays appeared in the surrounding air. These arrays could weaken enemy attacks and enhance the power of one's own spells, etc.
However, she quickly turned pale, clearly indicating that her cultivation level was insufficient to support such a massive expenditure.
Just then, a hand pressed down on her back, and an immense power flowed continuously into her.
When Xie Daoyun looked, she was surprised to find that it was Yun Jianyue. She nodded to her gratefully.
"Don't get distracted," Yun Jianyue said in a deep voice, while glancing at Yan Xuehen with some resentment. At this moment, her skirts fluttered and her long hair danced, and she maintained the magic array by herself like an ice fairy.
Hmph, she got away with it. Maybe I should learn some formation techniques myself in the future.
At this moment, Qiu Honglei hurriedly came to Jing Teng's side and continuously transferred her vital energy to her to help her maintain the Xuanwu form.
Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman followed suit, simultaneously reaching out and bracing themselves against Jing Teng.
Although they disliked each other to some extent, with a formidable enemy at hand, no one would be foolish enough to start an internal conflict.
The Ghost King was somewhat bewildered. These women had just looked like they were about to devour each other, but without any discussion, they had suddenly become perfectly in sync and worked together. Was this some kind of joke?
Enraged, countless skulls appeared in the black mist, and at the same time, they opened their mouths wide, unleashing an even more terrifying demonic voice of the Ghost King.
Soon, several magic arrays that Xie Daoyun had set up around the area shattered, and the ice shard magic array that Yan Xuehen had set up was also on the verge of collapse.
Jing Teng's Xuanwu phantom began to crack, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
The women in the arena all had solemn expressions, with beads of sweat dripping from their temples. They could only struggle to hold on at this moment, as the gap between the two sides was too great. If it weren't for Jing Teng's exceptionally powerful talismans, which played a major role, the women combined would have been no match for the Ghost King.
