In the past few days, Su Wenqing has been awake less and less. Sometimes, even when he is awake, he can't move or speak. Most of the time, he can only worry and be anxious.

Yesterday, Madam Min was taken into the dungeon and quickly became familiar with Qin Baoer and easily gained her trust. The two of them got together and talked about many things.

Su Wenqing didn't remember most of it. The only thing he remembered was that Madam Min told Qin Baoer that she was the mother of the Ninth Prince, Jiu Qing was the Ninth Prince, and that the Ninth Prince would come to save her today.

When he heard this, he was very anxious and tried to open his eyes, trying to persuade Qin Baoer. As a result, he saw Qin Baoer's happy and smiling face. At that moment, he wanted to kill Qin Baoer and Madam Min.

What else can these two women do besides holding Jiuqing back and causing trouble for him?

Qin Baoer only knew that the Ninth Prince would come to save them, but she never thought about how dangerous it would be for the Ninth Prince to come to save them. Madam Min only wanted the Ninth Prince's life, but...

He couldn't do it. He didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, let alone kill someone. He could only watch Qin Baoer being deceived by Madam Min.

Jiuqing, I'm sorry, I have implicated you. If he hadn't been caught, Qin Baoer and Madam Min alone would not be enough for the Ninth Prince to take the risk.

Su Wenqing was filled with hatred, and slowly closed his eyes, emptying his mind...

He could do nothing at this moment. The only thing he could do was pray, praying that the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen would not come, but God did not hear his voice.

"Dong Lingjiu, Feng Qingchen, and Xuan Shaoqi are at the foot of the mountain." Su Wenqing, who was groggy, suddenly became clear-headed when he heard this. He tried to open his eyes and wanted to see what was happening outside, but it was still in vain. He only heard a cold male voice saying, "Bring them up and remove their weapons. Remember, Dong Lingjiu's weapon is a long soft sword, and Feng Qingchen is good at using hidden weapons. She has a seven-shaped hidden weapon in her hand. Don't let her bring it up."

"Jiuqing, Qingchen shouldn't come." Su Wenqing shouted in his heart. At this moment, he hoped that he could die early in the Su Mansion, so that his Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen would not have to take risks for him.

In contrast to Su Wenqing's worry and despair, Qin Baoer and Madam Min were extremely happy. They both looked forward to the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen's quick appearance, especially Madam Min, who had been preparing for this moment for too long.

Finally, at the appointed time, the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen, and Xuan Shaoqi walked up to the Heavenly Fate Cliff. Looking at the man sitting in the middle, wearing a ghost mask and dressed as the Ghost King, the Ninth Prince called out in a mocking tone, "Ghost King?"

They were not as disheveled and tired as Madam Min had expected. The three of them were clean, refreshed, and full of energy. They did not show any signs of fatigue at all. Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince did not even glance at the three people hanging on the edge of the cliff.

Seeing Feng Qingchen and the other two, the man dressed as the Ghost King stood there calmly, ignoring the masters standing around him. He was stunned for a moment. To cover up his absent-mindedness, he flicked his sleeves and said in a low voice: "Uncle Ninth Emperor Dongling, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"I have come here as promised. Will the Ghost King release me?" The Ninth Prince's eyelids slightly raised. Even though he was standing below, he was not affected by the other party's aura at all.

"Release them? Where's the Emperor's Sword?" The fake Ghost King snorted in dissatisfaction, "You are so brave to go up the mountain empty-handed, Uncle Nine. Do you really think that I can't bear to kill people?"

That's right, the people who checked did not find any weapons or hidden weapons on the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi. The three of them seemed to be here for a picnic and came empty-handed.

Not everyone has this courage.

“What is the Emperor’s Sword? This king has never heard of it, nor has he seen it. If the Ghost King wants it, just release the person. I will order people to find it for you in the four countries and nine cities. I am a man of my word, so the Ghost King can rest assured.” The Ninth Prince showed his power and status subtly in his words.

As Madam Min guessed, although the Ninth Prince deduced that everything was done by Liancheng and that Madam Min was involved, he had no evidence. It still needed to be confirmed whether these people in front of him were from the Hundred Ghosts Palace.

If the people in front of him were really from the Hundred Ghosts Palace, there would be no need for them to fight him to the death for a sword that he didn't have. After all, the Ghost King didn't understand him.

"No? I think you won't cry until you see the coffin." The fake Ghost King had no idea what the Ninth Prince was thinking and just acted according to his own plan.

"Someone, come and take off the black cloth on that woman's head." The fake ghost king pointed the sword in his hand at Madam Min.

Soon, someone took off Mrs. Min's hood and removed the cloth from Mrs. Semin's mouth.

"Do you know this woman?" As soon as the fake ghost king opened his mouth, Madam Min burst into tears and kept shaking her head: "No, I don't know them. You caught the wrong person."

"Go, go quickly, don't worry about me, go quickly..."

The pale and dirty face, the sunken eyes, the messy hair all indicated that Madam Min was not living well. The Ninth Prince took just one look and then looked away.

"I don't have the Emperor's Sword." The Ninth Prince said the same thing again. It seemed that he didn't care about Madam Min's safety.

"No Emperor's Sword? Then what are you doing here?" The fake Ghost King suddenly raised his voice. His sharp voice and the murderous aura around him all expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Go, go, don't worry about me..." Madam Min still begged. She looked extremely pitiful hanging on the cliff, but it was a pity that the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen didn't even look at her. Seeing this, the fake ghost king mocked Madam Min and said, "Shut up."

Mrs. Min seemed frightened. She dared not speak any more and twitched as if she was terrified.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen did not speak actively. They just confronted the fake Ghost King quietly. After a while, the fake Ghost King suddenly laughed sinisterly.

"If you don't have the Emperor's Sword, then you can use your lives as collateral. I have captured three people, and you are the perfect number of people. How about one life for another?"

"Nothing." The Ninth Prince flatly refused: "What you want is nothing more than power, wealth, fame and fortune. This king does not have the Emperor's Sword, but I can still satisfy your requirements. The Hundred Ghosts Palace is drifting overseas, and there is no place for you to stand on the Jiuzhou Continent. I will make the decision and grant you a place to live forever, okay?"

Although he was asking, the Ninth Prince did not give the fake Ghost King a chance to speak. He looked at the fake Ghost King with a mocking look, and finally looked at Madam Min, and said with contempt and disdain: "Liancheng is in a good location. Within three days, I will take Liancheng, and it will be my gift to the Hundred Ghosts Palace. What do you think, Ghost King?"

The fake ghost king was about to lose his temper, but Madam Min, who didn't want to keep pretending to be pitiful, suddenly looked up and said calmly: "How did you find out?"
