Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Xi return safely. Wang Chengbing, who was obviously particularly afraid of ghosts, was the first to rush over. He pulled Chen Xi over and checked him all over. After confirming that he was not injured, he scolded her, "You, you, really? You let your brother-in-law stay so he could have company. Why did you send him back? You made me worry about you all the time."
After scolding, he took the person's hand with heartache and pulled the person to the sofa. Wang Bingtao was also very worried and kept staring at Chen Xi, looking pitiful.
Chen Xi smiled, rubbed his head, and said softly: "I'm fine, don't worry."
After comforting everyone, Chen Xi released the Ghost King and threw him directly on the carpet.
The Ghost King was tied up all the way. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from the broken whip. She was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick.
Now being thrown to the ground rudely by Chenxi, he became even more angry. His pair of red eyes glared at Chenxi viciously, as if he wished ice knives would burst out from his eyes and scrape Chenxi's body.
Chen Xi took a sip of the warm water poured by Sister Bing and felt refreshed all over.
As he put down the water cup, Ling Lie turned his gaze to the Ghost King and said in a deep voice, "I remember you haven't answered my previous question yet?"
The Ghost King was frightened and moved away in fear.
The situation is not right now. I am at the mercy of others.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm a ghost, not a human. Why do I need a reason to kill someone?"
"Heh..." Chen Xi snorted and laughed, "Are you sure? If you don't tell the truth again, I don't mind letting my thorny whip drink some ghost energy."
The Ghost King recalled the whip she had seen in the elevator, and the flesh on her body shrank again. The original wound contracted violently, and her soul trembled with pain.
He said tremblingly: "If I tell you, you have to let me go, otherwise I won't tell you."
Chen Xi retracted the whip, flicked it in the air a few times, and sneered, "You can try to see if I can knock your mouth open!"
In one second, the Ghost King thought of all possible escape routes, but he couldn't escape at all. Finally, he could only say reluctantly: "Someone ordered me to do this."
Di Tiancheng stood up suddenly, it was just as he expected!
He had already guessed who it was, and showed the photo on his phone to the Ghost King for identification: "Is it him?"
The Ghost King took a look and nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, it is indeed him."
Di Tiancheng put his phone away, feeling even colder all over. He then turned around and called his secretary, telling him he would give him a big gift tonight.
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "You seem to have something else to say?"
The Ghost King closed his eyes. Doesn’t this crazy woman have poor eyesight? How come she is so useful at the critical moment? It’s really infuriating.
"Isn't that what I was about to say? You're really anxious." The Ghost King said with a forced smile, "He has something in his hand that will be beneficial to my cultivation. He promised me that if I help him take down the people in this building, he'll give it to me."
Chen Xi curled her lips: "You don't look like an obedient ghost!"
The Ghost King was deeply moved by what he said, and he said proudly, "Of course I must. I am the Ghost King, how could I listen to the words of lowly humans? It is simply an insult to my dignity!"
Liu Bingtao suddenly tried to make amends: "But you still listened, didn't you? And you killed a lot of people."
Although the voice was small, the Ghost King heard it clearly.
He looked at Liu Bingtao angrily and bared his teeth at him.
"Why are you angry? He's not wrong." Chen Xi whipped the Ghost King and scolded him, "Go on with your business."
The Ghost King's scalp was numb from the beating, and he became even angrier. He said angrily, "How could I possibly listen to him? If he didn't have a very powerful evil cultivator by his side, I would have slapped him to death with one slap.
Last time, I wanted to rob it directly, but I ended up getting taught a lesson by that evil cultivator, so I had to work for it. Who knew you would arrest me before I even finished my work? I am so unlucky. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to improve my cultivation. It would have been better to cultivate step by step."
The more the Ghost King thought about it, the more regretful he became. It was all because of her greed. He should have given her another chance.
When Chen Xi heard about the evil cultivator, his eyes lit up and he asked anxiously, "What kind of evil cultivator?"
"He's a man whose face you can't even see clearly. He wears a black robe all day long, and he's not afraid of the heat. I tell you, I guess he's too ugly to let others see his appearance."
The Ghost King didn't notice Chen Xi's abnormality at all and continued to complain to himself.
Instead, Liu Bingtao frowned and looked at Chen Xi, feeling a little surprised. This was the first time she saw Chen Xi lose her composure like this.
"Is that person still there?" Chen Xi's voice was cold.
"Ah?" The Ghost King suddenly realized, "He's long gone. Something must have happened last night. He left a life-saving talisman for the man surnamed Wang and then disappeared in a hurry. If it weren't for that life-saving talisman, I could have snatched the things from him the moment he left last night, and I wouldn't have been caught by you."
What’s even more hateful is that she was beaten so badly. I don’t know what the crazy woman’s whip was made of. The pain not only hit her body but also hurt her soul, and she couldn’t heal.
It's really strange.
Di Tianchen received a text message and stood up and said to Chen Xi and Wang Chengbing, "Stay home and don't go out. I'm going out for a while."
Chen Xi knew that he had to deal with his opponent. Originally, Chen Xi recognized his strength, but now that an evil cultivator was involved, success or failure was more uncertain.
Fortunately, the evil cultivator has left and will not cause too much harm, but what I am worried about is that the evil cultivator will leave behind a lot of dangerous objects.
For example, the "life-saving talisman" that the Ghost King just mentioned!
No matter how powerful Di Tiancheng is, he is just an ordinary human being and has no ability to protect himself from those things.
Chen Xi asked Liu Bingtao to take out a piece of jade from the package, carved a jade pendant on the spot and gave it to Di Tiancheng, asking him to wear it close to his body.
After taking the things, Di Tiancheng walked out again.
While everyone was paying attention to Di Tiancheng and Chen Xi, the Ghost King had been secretly accumulating strength. At this moment, her cultivation had recovered half, and she lowered her eyes and began to look around for a breakthrough.
As for being a prisoner of hers, there is no way that the Ghost King would do that.
What's more, she has killed so many people, this crazy woman will definitely not let her go.
I originally thought that she was only powerful in using magic weapons, but I really didn't expect that she was powerful in everything. She could carve a jade plaque of that level at will, and she carved it so quickly and accurately. It would be impossible to do it without a certain level of cultivation.
So she must escape!
After searching for a long time, she finally found an opportunity. The crazy woman seemed to be particularly concerned about the weak woman. If she could hold her hostage later, the crazy woman would definitely be at a loss and let her go.
The Ghost King felt that she was too smart and the outside world was beckoning to her.
When everyone was relaxed, the Ghost King suddenly jumped out and headed straight for Wang Chengbing.
