Chapter 713: Soul Chaser
Ma Qingji wanted to protect Prince Linchuan, so he naturally accompanied him.
The carriage drove out of Gusu and traveled for another day before resting at an inn.
Unexpectedly, as night fell, Ma Qingji suddenly became alert and reminded King Linchuan: "An expert is coming."
A young man knocked on the door of the post station and asked, "Excuse me, is this the King of Linchuan?"
The King of Linchuan's men immediately came forward and surrounded him, asking, "Who are you?"
The young man laughed and said, "Here comes the King of Linchuan to take his life."
The young man dodged and broke through the wall of people, smashing the door of the inn with one palm, saying, "Prince Linchuan, I am here to kill you."
Ma Qingji tilted his head and said, "Your Highness, please leave first. This person is very skilled in Taoism, and we will definitely have a fierce battle."
Prince Linchuan remained calm in the face of danger and retreated through the back door while admonishing, "Master Ma, be careful."
Taoist Zhang and several guests from the Owl Inn escorted King Linchuan and quickly escaped through the back door. When they turned around, they heard the ground shaking like a mountain, the inn collapsed, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling filled the void.
Billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and evil spirits were hiding in it.
The guests at the Owl Pavilion shuddered with fear and helped Prince Linchuan onto his horse and escaped quickly.
And from the depths of the black smoke, there were terrifying roars and vibrations, and Taoism and spiritual light were constantly splashing.
Taoist Zhang and King Linchuan looked at each other and smiled knowingly, but then the smile faded and they pretended to escape and avoided the battle.
If practitioners fight with each other and innocent people are affected, it will be bad.
Prince Linchuan values his life very much and will not step into danger until the dust settles.
But in this huge battlefield where the black air covered the sky, it was unexpectedly calm.
Chen Jingrui knelt before Ma Qingji and said, "Greetings to the Heavenly Fox."
There was a lot of movement around Chen Jingrui, his spirit was showing its power, disasters were coming from all directions, plus he was originally a flying corpse, so the corpse energy was even more overwhelming.
Ma Qingji was much calmer. He simply stuck the Peach Branch Ghost Sword into the ground, releasing the evil spirit within to conceal his whereabouts. His hand fell on the hilt, and he looked Chen Jingrui over. "Get up," he said. "It's been a long time since we last met. Have you nearly finished with the Yuan Cult?"
Chen Jingrui stood up and said, "Reporting to the Fox Immortal, most of the cultivators from the Shouyuan Sect who escaped from the life register have been apprehended. Only a few hid too deeply for me to find."
Ma Qingji smiled and said, "You are from the Shouyuan Sect, so this matter is most suitable for you. I'd like to trouble you to make a trip this time and help me complete this situation."
Chen Jingrui shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the fox fairy's intervention, my body would have been taken away by the old monster Huang Chi, and there would be no chance of returning to the world. Even if it wasn't for Zhan Dapan's order, I would have rushed to help if the fox fairy had any request."
Ma Qingji asked, "How does it feel to be a soul-chasing messenger in the human world?"
Chen Jingrui said, "It's different from working in the Yue Mansion. Each has its own difficulties, but in the human world, there is still some yang energy."
Ma Qingji sighed, "You died young in this world, and now you have come back to live a new life."
He asked this not only because he cared about Chen Jingrui, but also because he had personally created another Soul Chaser, but her style was definitely different from Chen Jingrui's.
Putting these things aside for now, Ma Qingji said, "I'll leave this to you."
Chen Jingrui said, "Don't worry, Fox Fairy."
Ma Qingji drew his peach-branch sword, turned around, and disappeared into the dark night.
Chen Jingrui looked at the evil spirits and ghosts all over the sky, creating a huge momentum, and his magic power bloomed like a ghost fire lotus, gathering all the evil spirits and ghosts, and then created the appearance of being severely injured and collapsed again.
Prince Linchuan watched the battle subside in the distance and asked, "Did we win?"
Taoist Zhang was also uneasy and said, "He should have won. No matter how powerful the master is, he is only a sixth-grade master. Chen Jingrui is his nemesis and will not lose."
But the accident happened.
But after a moment, Chen Jingrui walked up to King Linchuan with a gloomy expression.
Several guests from the Chixiao Pavilion immediately stood in front of King Linchuan. Taoist Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't be rude."
Then he walked up to Chen Jingrui and asked, "Senior, have you subdued the zombie?"
Chen Jingrui looked at him indifferently and said, "Zombie?"
Taoist Zhang was startled by his cold tone and nodded nervously.
Chen Jingrui said, "That's not a zombie. He looks like one, but he's already a real person who has achieved success in body cultivation and has walked a narrow path. Yet you told me he's a zombie."
Taoist Zhang said, "He practiced the corpse transformation technique, which transformed him from a human into a zombie..."
Chen Jingrui didn't listen to his explanation and said, "You caused my flying corpse to be seriously injured and also made a great enemy."
Taoist Zhang suddenly felt something was wrong and flapped his wings to fly, but Chen Jingrui just reached out and grabbed him, then sucked him back upside down.
Chen Jingrui put his hand on the Rakshasa's head and said, "It's better to kill you."
There was a loud bang.
The Rakshasa ghost's body suddenly exploded, and bright red blood splashed in all directions, even King Linchuan was covered in it.
Chen Jingrui simply clapped his hands, glanced at Prince Linchuan, and said, "If the job isn't done, I don't want the money. If you want to capture him, you can take on this vengeance yourself. I won't accompany you."
The mud and sand under his feet surged, and in just a moment, he escaped by burrowing into the earth, leaving King Linchuan standing there in a daze.
"Go! Go!"
He urged, but not to go to Jiangning, but to return to Gusu.
He didn't know what Chen Jingrui and Ma Qingji had said, but the safest place in the world right now was the King of Wu's residence. If he didn't rush back while Ma Qingji was injured, and he recovered and took revenge, he would suffer.
The group rode back to Gusu at full speed, and it was already late at night when they arrived in Gusu.
However, when he returned to Gusu, he found that the palace was brightly lit inside and outside. The dark alley outside the palace where the Owl Pavilion was located was surrounded by heavy troops, making it impossible to get through.
The King of Wu summoned him and, upon seeing him, slapped him hard, knocking him to the ground. He asked, "I asked you to win over Master Ma, and this is how you did it?"
Prince Linchuan still didn't know what was happening when he heard Prince Wu ask, "Why did he rush into the Chixiao Pavilion alone with a sword and hang the bodies of several disciples from Xima Mountain in front of the pavilion?"
Prince Linchuan's head was buzzing and he was speechless.
The King of Wu gave him a cold look and asked, "What on earth have you done?"
Prince Linchuan did not dare to hide the fact and told the story of how he wanted to subdue Ma Qingji and use him for his own benefit, but ended up shooting himself in the foot.
The King of Wu laughed out loud in anger and said, "When did I give birth to a fool like you?"
"You are narrow-minded and intolerant. You are indeed unworthy of great use!"
"Go back home and reflect on your actions!"
