Xiang Yibai looked at Gao Kexin, who was now standing in front of her, with despair. She closed her eyes and quietly awaited death. Her biggest regret was that she hadn't said goodbye to her father.
"Dad, goodbye... no... goodbye forever!"
Xiang Yibai silently bid farewell to his father in his heart, but at that moment a bolt of lightning-like magic struck Gao Kexin's chest, actually knocking the rapidly increasing Gao Kexin back three steps.
The muffled groan that Gao Kexin let out made Xiang Yibai's eyes widen.
Who is it?
Little Yanbao?
Just as Xiang Yibai and the others were speculating, Xiao Yanbao floated directly to their side, holding a long whip, and looked cautiously at Gao Kexin, whose appearance was familiar but whose aura was unfamiliar.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yanbao said in disbelief:
"Are you a selfish person?"
Seeing Gao Kexin nod slightly, Xiao Yanbao sighed deeply. This would hurt his aunt's feelings again, since Gao Kexin was the closest person on her maternal side of the family. Today, he was going to kill his aunt's closest family member.
Gao Keyin was overjoyed to see Xiao Yanbao, her joy barely contained. At that moment, her greatest desire was to kill Xiao Yanbao. However, she was unaware that Xiao Yanbao was also thinking about how to completely eliminate this selfish bastard.
"Hehe, I haven't even gone up to find you yet, but you've already come down."
Gao Kexin gave a cold laugh, then raised her hand and bent her five fingers in the air towards Xiao Yanbao. Five black threads seemed to come alive, winding and twisting around Xiao Yanbao.
Suddenly, a defensive barrier appeared in front of Xiao Yanbao, blocking the five black threads half a meter away from him.
Gao Kexin seemed to have anticipated this scene. Without saying much, she flicked her fingers with a cold smile, and a large number of black threads quickly wrapped around Xiao Yanbao, turning him into a huge black cocoon in less than two breaths.
"You think I'm going to kill you? You're mistaken. You are my greatest opportunity to become the Ghost King!"
Gao Kexin spoke in a language that no one could understand, while her hands clenched slightly, as if she wanted to compress the black cocoon and store it in her Sumeru space.
Just then, a sinister voice came from all directions. Upon hearing this voice, Xiang Yibai, Li Qichen, and the unlucky guy seemed to lose their senses and stood there in a daze. Within two seconds, they all fell into a deep sleep.
"What a clever trick! You've even managed to outsmart this old woman! Hehehehe..."
A gray hue had somehow settled over the dim sky, filled with an aura of decay and ruin.
Gao Kexin's lips curled up slightly as she waved her hand, releasing a large amount of ghostly energy that permeated the air and entangled with the gray matter. The seemingly calm sky was filled with a chilling aura that was accumulating.
Seeing that Gao Kexin still wanted to fight him, the shaman, who was already full of anger, appeared directly and ignited all the gray matter he had emitted.
Blue flames exploded in the air, and the whole world seemed to be surrounded by endless ghost fire. However, Gao Kexin did not show any fear when she looked at these blue flames.
Gao Kexin stomped her feet lightly, and waves of ghostly energy surged from her body, but instead of dissipating, they gathered on her palms.
In the blink of an eye, a broken sword appeared in Gao Kexin's hand. Then, all the ghostly energy in the air was absorbed into the dark broken sword. At the same time, the blue flames seemed to be suppressed and were about to be extinguished.
"The King of the Underworld's sword? No wonder, no wonder!"
The shaman waved his hand and summoned his magical artifact. Although the blue ghost fire was still suppressed, its power was gradually increasing.
"If you hold back for a few more years, even the old woman might have to admit defeat when she sees you. Since you want to fight, let's have a proper fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Wu swung his ghost-headed staff at Gao Kexin. In that instant, the ghost head on the staff suddenly opened its ghost eyes, and a series of shrill roars came from the ghost head. At the same time, the ghost eyes lit up with a blazing blood-red light.
"Hmph! Let's fight then!"
Although the magical artifact in Gao Kexin's hand was a broken longsword, it was the sword of the Underworld King. When she swung it, the longsword sliced through the air, and the ghost eye on the artifact in the witch's hand seemed to be pierced, flowing out black blood.
"Old woman, die!"
However, just as Gao Kexin was filled with murderous intent and wanted to behead the shaman, the ghost eye in front of her and the shaman disappeared completely, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.
Gao Kexin turned around abruptly, and the black cocoon that had been controlling her behind her disappeared. If Xiang Yibai and the others hadn't been lying behind her, Gao Kexin would have thought that she had really experienced an illusion.
Where can you run to?
Just as Gao Kexin was about to follow her intuition to chase after Master Wu, she was surprised to find her shoulder being patted.
"Wait! This old woman has something else to say!"
Gao Kexin frowned, and a barely perceptible drop of blood appeared on her forehead. When did this old hag return, and when did she appear behind her? If it wasn't a pat on the shoulder but a sneak attack, she would have had a hard time blocking it.
I thought this old hag was just an insignificant pawn of the Lord of the River of Oblivion in the mortal realm, but I never expected her to be so powerful.
"Little girl, considering how much this old woman has helped you, how about we make a deal?"
Before Gao Kexin could speak, Master Wu's hoarse voice came again.
"All you want is the Li family. I just saw that young girl has good potential and I want to find a successor. How about you give her to me?"
Gao Kexin was about to speak, but then swallowed her words. She wasn't sure if Lord Wu knew that Xiao Yanbao was someone the Lord of Wangchuan had specifically requested. If he didn't know yet, she could let him take the person away for the time being, as long as she quickly informed the Lord of Wangchuan of this news.
When the Lord of the River of Oblivion comes to her for it, she will have no choice but to give it to him.
"A successor? You can take on apprentices and pass on your skills? Hah!"
Gao Kexin sneered, seemingly not quite believing Master Wu's words. However, she didn't pay much attention to the old witch Master Wu's words, and just coldly watched Master Wu's expression.
Seeing that Lord Wu's expression didn't seem like he was making excuses, Gao Kexin waved her hand to gather Xiang Yibai and Li Qichen, and then tightly pulled the two people and the ghost behind her.
It seemed that Master Wu didn't want to explain too much to Gao Kexin; he simply looked at her quietly and waited for her answer.
"Alright, since you helped me before, you can have that little girl."
After Gao Kexin finished speaking, she ignored the smiling old woman. Perhaps worried that something might happen again, Gao Kexin directly condensed the ghost energy into dozens of threads.
After a few breaths, a black silk thread danced like a snake at the entrance of the Li family manor, in the living rooms, bedrooms, and even the toilets of each villa.
Similarly, from the old man to Li Mujun, everyone had a black thread in front of them that swayed up and down like a serpent.
"Make them all my puppets!"
