The Ghost Prince was still very confident, and with his wife also whispering in his ear, he let those people go.
Originally, he kept these people because he wanted to use their bodies to leave, but since he was sure that he could not leave his cemetery no matter what method he used, those people were useless. However, these useless people attracted a heavenly master for him, and he was very satisfied.
The Ghost King is not stupid. An ordinary person's body cannot carry him, but the body of the Heavenly Master can. If this female Heavenly Master cannot fulfill her promise, he can just take over her body and leave. However, because Lianyi is a female Heavenly Master, this is a very bad idea.
"What do you mean by that? Explain."
The Ghost Prince, wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the throne at the top, asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, the construction of this entire tomb should have been done by a Taoist monk!"
Ripple said with a faint smile.
"Yes, I specifically sought out a Taoist master in order to seek another kind of immortality."
"Hey! Your Highness, the other party has tricked you. On the surface, they are giving you immortality, but in reality, you will become a puppet of that Taoist priest in the end."
Lianyi said earnestly.
"What's the meaning?"
The prince narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked.
“After the prince died and his soul left his body, he did not enter reincarnation, but was left here. Anyone buried here cannot leave, because this is a place to raise ghosts. Before you grow up, it will protect your soul.
But after you become strong, you will not be able to leave here, because the Taoist priest has set up a ban. As long as you forcefully leave here, the entire cemetery will perish along with you. The purpose is to prevent you from escaping after you become strong.
But if I’m not mistaken, the Taoist priest who built the mausoleum for you must have died long ago, so he couldn’t come back here to contract you when you were weak, and that’s why you were able to practice safely until now.
In addition, the world has changed over time, so when someone breaks a hole, your servants can leave, but you are still bound here."
"So you want to find someone with a similar level of cultivation to replace me, to confuse the restrictions set by that stinky Taoist priest, and then I can leave."
The Ghost Prince was smart enough to speak immediately.
"Yes, Your Majesty is very smart and can understand things very quickly."
"The only people on the same level as me are my wife Chen and my concubine Hong Ji."
The Ghost Prince narrowed his eyes and said.
"This still needs to be decided by the prince himself."
After thinking about it, the Ghost Prince finally decided to give up Hong Ji. After all, half of the ghost servants here were loyal to his wife Chen Meiyu.
"Chen Meiyu is my wife, so she should be with me. Let Hongji stay here! I usually pamper her so much, she is always willing to sacrifice for me."
Lian Yi nearly vomited after hearing the other party's high-sounding words, but she kept calm, asked for a dragon jade pendant hanging around the prince's waist, drew a transformation formation on it, and returned the thing to the Ghost Prince.
"My Lord, give this jade pendant to your beloved concubine Hong Ji and have her wear it close to her body. Summon her here in three days and have her sit on your throne. Your auras will then exchange, and she will be trapped in this mausoleum in your place."
"I hope what you said is true, otherwise you will not end well."
"Whether it is true or not, Your Majesty can verify it on the spot."
Lianyi said with a solemn oath.
"Okay, I'll wait for you for three days."
Lianyi leisurely returned to her temporary residence and waited quietly.
On the other side, the soldier guarding the entrance to the cemetery was startled when he saw someone running out, and immediately sounded the alarm.
Wu Siming was supervising the felling of locust trees. After hearing the alarm, he immediately ran back and saw his platoon leader Fu Tianxing.
"Reporting to the battalion commander, all 35 members are here, and the three archaeologists we were looking for have also come out with us."
"Did Master Wu save you?"
"Yes!"
"Where is Master Wu?"
"She should still be in the cemetery. She said she made a deal with the thing that trapped us and let us leave first."
Fu Tianxing said immediately.
"Master Wu, did I ask you to bring back any message?"
Wu Siming asked without giving up.
"Just four words: the plan remains the same! Nothing else."
Fu Tianxing said immediately.
"Okay, I understand! You guys go to the camp to rest first. You are not allowed to leave the camp after dark. This is Master Wu's rule."
"Yes, Captain!"
Fu Tianxing immediately bowed and led everyone back to the camp.
Professor Ma also kept asking questions to those who had returned. When he learned that Wu Lianyi was still in the cemetery, he could only wait patiently. After all, there were still a few stupid team members who had not recovered.
Three days later, when Lianyi went to the palace again, not only the Ghost Prince was there, but also Chen and the smug Hong Ji.
The Ghost Prince glanced at Lianyi, then pulled Hongji into his arms, ignoring his wife Chen's ugly expression, letting her sit on his lap, and then said with a smile:
"Hong Ji, you have been with me for so long and are my favorite concubine. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Hong Ji glanced at Chen proudly, then asked tenderly.
"Because you are the most obedient. You always do whatever I say and never do anything to make me angry."
"Your Majesty, you are my God. I will listen to no one else but you."
Hong Ji looked at the prince with seductive eyes and said.
"Good! You are worthy of being my favorite concubine."
After saying that, he pushed the other person to sit on the throne and said with a laugh:
"Just based on what you said, you are qualified to be the owner of this palace!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Hong Ji sat on the throne, with an unconcealable look of joy on her face. This was tantamount to a direct recognition of her status, and she would have the final say from now on.
"snort!"
Chen Meiyu stood up, snorted coldly, turned around and left, obviously dissatisfied with the prince's behavior.
But this made Hong Ji even more complacent.
The Ghost Prince then looked at Lianyi vaguely, and Lianyi nodded imperceptibly. The other party left the throne and seemed to be chasing Chen Meiyu, but in fact he was leaving the yard that trapped him as quickly as possible.
After the Ghost King really left the yard, there was an ecstatic expression on his face. He could really leave.
Then he turned into a ball of black mist and quickly flew out of the cemetery. Following him were Chen Meiyu and a group of ghosts of all sizes.
Lianyi was moving quite fast, following these people and leaving the cemetery.
Only Hong Ji realized later that the prince could actually leave. She immediately turned into a ball of red mist and chased after him. Unfortunately, she was unable to leave the last courtyard and was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Hong Ji instantly turned into a red-clothed ghost and screamed:
"Your Majesty! You lied to me!" (End of this chapter)
