Chapter 54
From the time Wang Sheng fainted after making a contract with Liang Ruoyan to the time he made a contract with the evil ghost in the ghost realm, it was just a fleeting thing. His eyesight was also gradually getting stronger.
The black line on his face that belonged to the female ghost disappeared, and the black line that belonged to the male ghost appeared. Wang Sheng opened his eyes, and the male ghost's eyes instantly became clear, and the blackness dissipated a lot.
The sky outside the house began to clear up, and the rain of gold nuggets stopped as the dark clouds dissipated. The gold nuggets that were originally piled up as high as a floor disappeared, leaving only the smashed roofs. The East Palace in the Black Domain was now in ruins.
Chen Kanglian suddenly stood up from the top of the wall, his brows furrowed. What was going on? Why did the ghost realm become normal again?
He frowned, wanting to see what the male evil spirit was doing. He suddenly found that he could no longer sense the male evil spirit's presence, and his arm was clean, without any trace of the male evil spirit's black line on it.
Chen Kanglian was sure that he had not taken the evil ghost back, and he had no sense of who the evil ghost was fighting with. In other words, the evil ghost suddenly disappeared without his knowledge and without any warning.
But when he looked at Donggong in front of him, he was indeed still in the ghost domain of the wealthy and evil ghost. For the first time, Chen Kanglian felt his scalp tingling.
Suddenly, dark clouds appeared in a small area of sky above his head. Chen Kanglian felt that the place where he was was getting darker. He looked up and found raindrops falling. His heart suddenly jumped. In the blink of an eye, he saw these raindrops turned into gold bars in mid-air and fell towards him very accurately.
Before Chen Kanglian had time to figure out what was going on, he subconsciously rolled over and left the area. The gold nuggets fell in front of him, and the tiles on the wall shattered. One of the fragments hit him, and he dodged sideways.
What on earth is going on!
The cloud seemed to sense that the person it was going to hit was no longer below, so it floated accurately to the top of Chen Kanglian's head and rained gold nuggets even more violently, hitting Chen Kanglian without any pause.
Wang Sheng came out, clapped his hands, and folded his arms. The situation had changed, and he wanted to see how this person could hide the gold nuggets like him.
The male ghost stood beside him, watching his old master flee alongside his new master. The ghost possessed no emotions, only endless devotion to his new master. It rained gold nuggets with even greater intensity, intent on crushing Chen Kanglian to death. Wang Sheng applauded, unaware that watching someone escape could bring such joy.
Chen Kanglian had already smashed through a lot of roofs before, so now it was his turn, and there was nothing left for him to hide. He caught a glimpse of someone standing nearby, watching him. He looked over fiercely, then suddenly paused when he saw his own evil spirit standing next to Wang Sheng. A gold nugget brushed past him, scraping his entire left arm and causing it to bleed profusely.
He hissed and turned to look. Why would his evil spirit obey the orders of this prince's aide? Who on earth was this person? Why would he steal other people's evil spirits for his own use?
But Chen Kanglian was not a pushover. He quickly gave up on recalling the male evil spirit and chose to summon a new one. This time, it was successful. A sea of fire appeared under Chen Kanglian's feet, continuously extending outward, trying to suppress the male evil spirit's ghost domain.
The sky and the earth were suddenly divided into two places, one was clear and cloudless, and the other was an endless sea of fire. They were competing with each other and trying to cover each other.
Wang Sheng felt a wave of fire surging in his face, steaming hot. This sea of fire could roast a person. He could barely open his eyes and quickly retreated away from the center line, letting Chen Kanglian's rich ghost bear the brunt of the fire.
This time, Chen Kanglian stared at the evil ghost he had just summoned, not missing any details, trying to find out what kind of evil magic Wang Sheng used to make the rich man's ghost escape from his control.
Chen Kanglian never expected that he would encounter such a bizarre situation when he was just trying to catch the mouse doing something behind his back for some fun. His usual leisurely demeanor disappeared, and he looked sinisterly at the young man hiding behind the rich ghost.
Chen Kanglian had never failed before, yet he unexpectedly fell to this young man. But he quickly calmed down and raised his hand to signal the new evil spirit to lower the temperature of the flames.
Wang Sheng felt the temperature drop, so he stuck his head out and looked at Chen Kanglian, who was standing in the dilapidated house in front of him. Next to Chen Kanglian stood a fiery ghost, looking at Wang Sheng.
Perhaps due to Wang Sheng's eyesight issues, the fire ghost was instantly attracted and suddenly locked eyes with Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng immediately cried out inwardly that something was wrong, and sure enough, the next moment the fire ghost broke away from Chen Kanglian and floated over on its own. Wang Sheng couldn't control the contract, and on the spot, he replayed in front of Chen Kanglian how the rich ghost escaped his control.
Watching the magical things happening over there, Chen Kanglian gradually opened his eyes wide and an incredible smile appeared on his face.
I see.
It turned out that there was something wrong with the boy's eyes. He asked why the rich ghost was controlled by the boy. In order to find out the reason, he sacrificed the fire ghost and lowered its flame, making Wang Sheng mistakenly believe that the rich ghost had the upper hand. He successfully lured him out and controlled the fire ghost with the same method.
It was truly interesting, truly interesting. Chen Kanglian had never seen anything so interesting before. He looked at Wang Sheng as if he had discovered a new toy. This young man was far more interesting than any of his demons. Especially those eyes. Chen Kanglian dreamed of digging them out and playing with them in his hands.
Soon the rich man's ghost returned to Chen Kanglian, but Chen Kanglian ignored the rich man's ghost and summoned another evil ghost.
The moment the new ghost emerged, Chen Kanglian ordered it to blind itself. The new ghost, dressed in red, floated in mid-air, decisively blinding itself, rendering it unable to see anything. However, for them, having eyes made no difference; they could capture their targets through perception, not sight.
The new ghost's face was pale and lifeless, its lifeless eyes staring blankly ahead, devoid of any expression. Yet, one could see from it that in life, it must have been a gentle and refined man. It didn't resemble the rich ghost, who was driven by resignation, nor did it resemble the paper bride Chen Li, who was driven by emotional trauma. It was calm, accepting the ghost master's instructions with equanimity.
After Wang Sheng captured the Fire Ghost, he lost that exuberant feeling. However, he soon discovered that Chen Kanglian had already known his trump card and began to take countermeasures to prevent him from having any control. Moreover, this new White-Faced Ghost was even higher in rank than the Fire Ghost, and a new ghost domain appeared beneath their feet.
Wang Sheng had contracted two consecutive ghost-inspired attacks, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hadn't expected Chen Kang to use ghost-inspired attacks three times in a row, each more powerful than the last. He didn't know how many more cards he had in his hand. Wang Sheng felt dizzy and struggled to hold on. If Chen Kanglian saw that he was dying, it would be even more troublesome.
At the foot of Yuntai Mountain, Shi Ye had just mounted his horse when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.
He realized something and rolled up his sleeves. The concentric spell lit up and was hotter than ever before, almost making him let go of the reins.
Shi Ye's face instantly became extremely ugly. Something happened to Wang Sheng, and it was more dangerous than before. More importantly, he was not with Wang Sheng, and it would take several days to get to the capital.
He covered the Heart Mantra with his right hand, and a burning sensation penetrated his palm. Shiye decisively turned his horse's head and rushed up the mountain. After returning to the mountain, he headed straight for the back mountain. The mountain master was a little surprised to see Shiye's sudden return, "Xiaoye, what are you doing..."
"Master, something happened to Mr. Wang. I can't wait to rush over."
The reason why Shi Ye's talent is praised is not only because he can summon multiple evil spirits at the same time, but also because...
He can use the underworld to make his evil spirits come out of the underworld and control them from a distance.
However, the underworld can only be entered at midnight, and it is still daytime now. The fastest way for him is to enter from the pit entrance in the back mountain and go from purgatory to the underworld.
The mountain master didn't have time to stop Shi Ye. He could only watch him jump into the unknown cave without hesitation and fall into purgatory. "Xiao Ye!" The mountain master used his own ability, but ultimately failed to bring Shi Ye back.
In a corner of the East Palace, a piece of green clothing was revealed.
In Chen Kanglian's exclusive ghost world, in addition to Wang Sheng, whom he brought in of his own will, there was also an uninvited guest watching the battle between Wang Sheng and Chen Kanglian.
Xia Yue looked around and found that the only person Chen Kanglian had to deal with was the prince's aide and no one else. He withdrew his gaze indifferently and was about to leave when he was as shocked by Wang Sheng's eyes as Chen Kanglian.
The more Xia Yue looked at the prince's aide, the more he felt familiar with him, but he didn't know where to start describing this feeling, so he stopped and prepared to continue looking over there, or to be more precise, to look at the aide motionlessly.
The next moment, Xia Yue knew why this person looked so familiar.
Wang Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up straight pretending to be calm. He knew that he and Chen Kanglian were not on the same level of ability, so he wanted to pretend to be ignorant, but he didn't know whether Chen Kanglian would believe it.
"Hey, who are you? I'm the aide brought back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness will hold you accountable for treating me like this?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Xia Yue in the corner was stunned. His mind went blank. This was Xiaosheng's voice!
Chen Kanglian saw that Wang Sheng was helpless against the white-faced ghost. He sneered and said arrogantly, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you did something you shouldn't have done. I should have been collecting your body, but boy, I'll give you a chance. How about joining us and working for the master behind the scenes?"
The white-faced ghost stared at Wang Sheng fiercely. Even though it couldn't see anything, Wang Sheng still felt an immense pressure from it. He secretly exerted his strength, trying to see if the fire ghost could suppress the white-faced ghost, but he found that the fire ghost had no power to resist the white-faced ghost.
Wang Sheng's eyes rolled and he was frantically thinking of a solution. Think quickly, think quickly. He, Wang Sheng, would not die here!
