Just as most of the guests were busy buying talismans, a cold wind suddenly howled in, blowing the corners of everyone's clothes and hair.
Everyone shuddered simultaneously.
I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and a bone-chilling cold swept over my entire body.
The guests quickly channeled their spiritual energy, attempting to resist and isolate themselves from the eerie and chilling aura.
Those with higher cultivation levels experienced a significant improvement.
Those whose cultivation level is insufficient even have a thin layer of ice appearing on their eyebrows, beginning to freeze.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a suona horn, which sent chills down one's spine, suddenly rang out.
The music played during the wedding procession was eerie and terrifying.
The darkness was eerie and unsettling.
All the guests were jolted, their heads buzzing and exploding.
My mind was filled with the festive yet eerie sound of the suona horn...
Jin Shangyue turned around and saw a wedding procession approaching from afar.
That's right, the kind where your feet don't touch the ground.
A sixteen-bearer sedan chair, carried by sixteen stark white bones, floated in through the air.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before everyone from a hundred meters away.
A blood-red sedan chair, with red gauze fluttering and white mist swirling around it, contained a woman dressed in white.
Her long hair was loose, obscuring her face.
But her snow-white attire contrasted sharply with the surrounding blood-red hue.
In the gloomy darkness, it appeared particularly terrifying and eerie.
"Holy crap! It's an A+ level ghost!"
"A splash of white amidst the red—that's a ghost general who has transformed from a blood-stained vengeful ghost! No, she's about to become a ghost king!"
"Run! It's almost gone from A+ to S-rank! We can't beat them!"
"When the Half-Ghost King marries, ten thousand corpses crawl, death stretches for miles—a terrible omen!"
...
Several screams and gasps erupted from the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, countless guests turned and ran away.
In their panic, some people ran into the village without thinking.
Some wanted to return the way they came, but their way back was blocked by the wedding procession.
There's no going back.
We cannot retreat; we can only move forward.
Some ran to the left or right, but in the end, they all ended up in the innermost village.
A system notification appeared in Shuiyun's mind.
[Slaying an A+ level ghost rewards 200 years of cultivation, increases soul strength by 30, and grants the Ghost King's Bride Ghost Domain.]
[Take this opportunity to pit Jin Shangyue against the ghost, allowing them to engage in battle. Reap the benefits and be rewarded with three S-rank Concealment Pills (each pill lasts for twelve hours, granting invisibility to S-rank ghosts, making them undetectable).]
Unravel the secrets of the Ghost King's Bride, reveal the truth, and you'll be rewarded with 1000 points.
After reading the three options, it was clear that only the first and second options offered the best rewards.
That was also what moved her the most.
Shuiyun glanced at Jin Shangyue; the other party hadn't run away.
There were no fewer than thirty guests around, who hadn't run away yet and were all standing still, ready to confront the Ghost King's Bride head-on.
The guests who remained possessed powerful auras and high levels of cultivation.
In terms of cultivation alone, he is stronger than her.
But she has a cheat code: many system rewards.
With these advantages, she was confident that she was more suited to survive in this ghostly place than the other guests.
Even their chances of surviving, and ultimately emerging as the winner, are higher than those of these people.
Only the moon shines on the brocade.
She couldn't sense any aura of strength from the other person at all.
It's as if the other person, apart from having a stronger aura and a more noble and special temperament, is no different from an ordinary person who hasn't cultivated.
Even so, Shuiyun did not let her guard down.
Since the other party has become involved with elixirs, then regardless of whether it's true or false, or what the truth is...
Jin Shangyue is at least an alchemist.
Even if their level isn't high, as long as they are alchemists, they can't be ordinary people who haven't cultivated.
So why couldn't she sense Jin Shangyue's cultivation aura?
Unless, the other party is wearing a magical artifact that can conceal their cultivation aura.
Shui Yun's eyes flickered.
She wanted both the rewards from the first and second tasks.
It's about time to test the waters with Jin Shangyue.
Now, perhaps, is an opportunity.
Shuiyun's mind raced as she devised a plan.
Little did she know, Jin Shangyue heard all the tasks issued by the system.
Jinshangyue asked Daodao in her mind's eye, "Did you carry out the punishment I asked you to?"
【I've got it all, sir. All sorts of punishments are available, and I guarantee no two will be the same.】
[Once Shuiyun chooses to undertake a task, the system will automatically penalize her if she fails.]
"Sir, let's get her!"
As the sedan chair approached, the remaining thirty guests took out their magical weapons for dealing with ghosts and monsters, preparing to subdue the half-ghost king.
Shuiyun also pretended to be serious, taking out an A+ grade ghost weapon, a boning knife, and holding it in her hand.
Meanwhile, without making a sound, he used his consciousness to control the rewards and deception pills stored in the system space.
Bewildering Pill: Can bewitch ghosts below S rank, causing them to experience a five-second illusion.
Shuiyun felt the extra pill in her hand and crushed it.
An unseen aura drifted into the Ghost King's bride's nostrils.
The Ghost King's Bride suddenly saw a human girl in a red trench coat wielding a knife and slashing at her.
The Ghost King's bride's face, hidden beneath her long hair, turned deathly pale in an instant.
Long, jet-black hair suddenly shot out like a dense rain of black arrows, attacking Jin Shangyue's location.
Jin Shangyue was still wondering what method Shui Yun would use, just this?
