Chapter 615: Collective Punishment
Xiao Chujing put out the fire where the fish were being grilled. As if having just guessed something, he asked with a hint of surprise, "Did your husband, Senior, die because our Junior Sister met with an accident, and so he destroyed the elixir and followed her?"
The thuds of the bloody corpse banging on the coffin and the soothing voice of Yuan Guiwang were instantly silent.
Xiao Chujing smiled: "I guessed right."
Holding the coffin, King Yuan Gui seemed to have returned to the bloody rain on the night when his husband committed suicide. Thousands of years had passed, and the rain seemed not to have stopped yet.
She kept muttering to herself, "I believe my husband has his own reasons. He's the eldest brother, and his sense of responsibility is always stronger than that of ordinary people. He had been suffering for half a year at that time. He kept talking about what would happen if the junior sister died. Yes, what would happen if the junior sister died?"
"She's always dumber than the average person, always getting deceived, always misjudging people, gets lost when she goes out, can't even cook for herself, and has a terrible temper. What will happen to the little apprentice sister if she leaves the eldest brother?"
"The ghost world is so scary. When I was a human, I hated being with ghosts."
"So the husband turned himself into the dead, so he couldn't find her in the ghost world."
"He recalled the old saying, 'When a person dies, he turns into a ghost; when a ghost dies, he turns into a ghost.' So he destroyed his soul and continued to search on the next level..."
Xiao Chujing watched Yuan Guiwang's madness. He could neither empathize with him nor feel any compassion.
No matter whether it was the eldest senior brother or the Ghost King Yuan in front of him, they did not fight or compete when they were alive, but acted pretentiously after their death. Who were they putting on a show for?
Xiao Chujing mocked: "Senior, it turns out that your husband would rather die than face you."
Yuan Guiwang said sternly: "You are talking nonsense!"
The willow trees on both sides of the river dropped their leaves hysterically. In an instant, the branches became bare. The slender and sharp leaves piled up thickly around Xiao Chujing, like a bunch of green knives squeezed together, trying to block Xiao Chujing's throat.
Xiao Chujing didn't show any sign of restraint. He laughed out loud and said, "You are so pathetic."
The Emperor's sword broke through the thick barrier of green leaves, and the green leaves turned into pieces and exploded, and the debris covered the surface of the river.
The hilt of the sword rotated several times in Xiao Chujing's hand and was held firmly by him. High white waves rose on the surface of the river, and the huge tide turned into long swords shining with cold light, rushing towards Yuan Guiwang with a momentum that covered the sky.
At the same time, Xiao Chujing used his mind to take out the half of the Nine Tribulations Coffin in his hand from the space ring, and used the sword blade to pick open the coffin lid.
In a flash, Yuan Guiwang had already broken up Xiao Chujing's attack.
She threw out half of her little finger, which turned into a huge ghost claw. She was about to crush Xiao Chujing, but after seeing the coffin, she quickly stopped the attack, and the ghost claw hung above Xiao Chujing's crown.
In Xiao Chujing's coffin, the bloody corpse in Yuan Guiwang's ghost coffin was transferred to his coffin by Xiao Chujing at some point.
Yuan Guiwang had long since disappeared. When her most important possession became a hostage, he was forced to reveal himself. The dark clouds in the sky gathered into a giant face. She was slightly surprised, "When did you..."
Xiao Chujing's life sword turned into ten, circling around his body, confronting the Ghost King who was a hundred times more powerful than him.
The willow tree where Yuan Guiwang was standing just now returned to its original form and turned into a resurrection incense stick as thick as a bucket. The ancient sandalwood had been offered in front of the Buddhist temple for who knows how many years. It was colorless and odorless when burned, and would make the evil spirits automatically repeat their obsessions.
Yuan Guiwang understood that Xiao Chujing had arranged the venue in advance and used this precious trump card to pin her down.
He acted as if he was caught by her by surprise, but actually he had guessed that she would come a long time ago. He deliberately revealed her whereabouts to her men. Fishing was just a trick to lure her out.
"When the evil spirit reenacts his obsession, he is indeed devoted."
Xiao Chujing knew that there was a huge gap in strength between him and the Ghost King, and he had no chance of winning.
If we can survive today, it will be a great victory.
He could only use his trump card to avoid a head-on fight with a higher-level opponent. He planned to first provoke the Ghost King, seize a hostage, use the hostage as a barrier, and use a top-level spell in his hand to fake his own death and escape.
The plan is already halfway successful.
"What a clever boy."
The beautiful woman's huge face, which was made of dark clouds, was not angry but smiling. She laughed so hard that her face was distorted.
Instead, she was no longer in a hurry to kill Xiao Chujing.
"The curse of the evil spirit is the most effective. Listen to me, boy."
"One day, when you've reached the ends of the earth and your junior sister isn't willing to even look at you again..."
"Perhaps you'll be rolling on the ground, crying and wailing, even more shameless than me."
Xiao Chujing's smile finally disappeared.
He raised his hand and pointed to the sky. The ten swords at his side were catalyzed into hundreds by the vigorous spiritual power. He set up a lightning formation to specifically restrain the rolling thunder and lightning of evil spirits, covering the Ghost King Yuan.
"what you up to?"
Yuan Guiwang took out the land deed.
"Your junior sister Ye Xiaoman is a wanted criminal in the ghost world."
"Xiao Chujing, Aunt Yuan suddenly remembered that half-fish need to be caught in pairs. It would be unpleasant to kill only you."
The map of the ghost world spread out majestically above Xiao Chujing's head, like a heavy mountain pressing down on him.
The husky tone turned cheerful and eerie.
"I'll torture your junior sister first."
Xiao Chujing suddenly grabbed the blood corpse's neck, and the head of the middle-aged male cultivator in black rested heavily on the back of his hand.
"You dare?"
Ghost King Yuan acted unconcerned. "Take it easy. Aunt Yuan will get back every scar on my husband from Ye Xiaoman."
The map rolled up and Yuan Guiwang disappeared.
*
Ye Xiaoman was alone and randomly chose a remote place from the property of her former husband Gui Shuai, hiding in the palace and swatting flies.
"So boring..."
Based on the information provided by Jing Zhui, she knew that the ghost kings currently looked down on her as a small cultivator, and they came to capture her one by one instead of swarming to besiege her. So she decided to sit back and wait, find a place where there were few people, and wait for the ghost king to come.
Come one, she hits one.
No one has come yet.
After soaking in the hot spring, Ye Xiaoman stood on the top of a barren hill wearing wooden slippers and a small nightgown, facing the scenery of the mountains dyed in the sunset light. Although there were no spectators, the evening breeze blew her hair, making her inexplicably want to show off.
"Being invincible is so lonely."
She fantasized about a scene where one day she would become the ghost lord and all ghosts would submit to her, and even Zhu Chuideng would be intimidated by her.
"Hehehe..." The villain's laughter stopped after two syllables because she saw the real master coming.
A very beautiful aunt in black clothes was standing on a huge coffin, flying towards the mountain where she was with lightning and thunder.
It was really a flash, because Xiao Chujing was chasing after her, trying his best to attract lightning to strike her.
The scene of the two men fighting while flying was quite sensational. Ye Xiaoman looked at the place where they passed by, and the mountains below them collapsed and cracked, the scene was like a volcanic eruption.
