Chapter 539 Master Yun
Yun Bailian's bloodless face became even more hideous and ugly, with a hint of panic.
She stared at Yun Qingqing intently, and suddenly burst into shrill laughter:
"Yun Qingqing, why are you pretending to be a righteous man? Even though I fell into your hands today, does that mean you are still a good person?"
Yun Bailian's gaze swept across a group of civil and military officials with complicated expressions, and finally landed on the emperor himself:
"You all saw it clearly today! Yun Qingqing also practices the ghost way! Do you know how many ghosts and even living souls my master's natal ghost, Afeng, devoured to reach that level? But what Yun Qingqing summoned directly was the Ghost King! He is even more powerful than Afeng!"
"Don't you think about it? If Yun Qingqing hadn't done all sorts of evil things in secret, how could she have raised a ghost of the Ghost King's level?"
The emperor and all the civil and military officials knew nothing about these things, but they had all witnessed the horror of evil spirits. They were most afraid of these evil creatures. When they heard Yun Bailian's words, they couldn't help but look at Yun Qingqing with fear.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Changheng looked at Yun Bailian with cold eyes, tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand, and secretly accumulated strength in his palm.
If he wasn't unsure how Yun Qingqing would deal with Yun Bailian's vengeful soul, he would have chopped it down with a knife long ago.
Yun Bailian was suppressed by the talisman and could not move. She had already given up and looked at Xiao Changheng with extreme sarcasm:
"The Regent is truly devoted to her! I doubt he would accept her practicing such a sinister art as the Ghost Dao. Are you planning to deny it?"
"It's a pity that you care about her, but she can't possibly care about you! Maybe she's just waiting for the opportunity to turn you into a vengeful spirit and use you as material to raise a ghost king, hahahahahaha!"
"After all, if the regent who commands great power were to suddenly die one day, his resentment would surely be a thousand times greater than that of an ordinary person!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Changheng's long sword glowed faintly with a white light, and his eyes showed murderous intent.
But he still controlled himself and didn't make a move.
Xiao Changheng didn't know how to practice the ghost way, but he knew that Yun Qingqing must not be like that.
He saw the complicated expressions on the officials' faces and the emperor's doubts. He knew that if he chopped off Yun Bailian's soul with a knife now, there would be no evidence. Even if others didn't dare to speak out, they would definitely have doubts about Yun Qingqing and it would be difficult to explain.
Yun Bailian looked at his expression, her smile becoming more and more ferocious, and she continued to speak nonsense:
"After meeting that Ghost King today, I finally understood! What's with the Celestial Phoenix... it's all her tricks to fool you idiots! That Ghost King has become a powerful figure, and the mortal world can only prepare to endure the catastrophe brought about by her indulgence of the Ghost King, hahahaha..."
Yun Bailian was immersed in a madness that no one could imagine, and she didn't notice that Yun Qingqing was fiddling with a small black mirror in her hand and then put it away.
She was laughing wildly when suddenly a faint bell sound rang in the air.
The ringtone didn't sound loud, but its presence was so strong that no one in the entire square missed it.
Everyone who heard the bell felt a chill rising from their backs, and the temperature around them seemed to drop suddenly!
There was a commotion among the crowd. This feeling was very similar to when the evil ghost and the ghost king appeared just now. When they thought about what Yun Bailian had just said, they were suddenly frightened again.
"Hiss... What's that sound? Did you hear it?"
"So cold...this feeling..."
"Could it be that the Ghost King has returned again?"
"Could it be that Yun Bailian really came true..."
The emperor's face turned pale, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he looked around in confusion for the source of the sound.
Only Yun Qingqing stood still like a mountain, looking in one direction with a calm expression.
Xiao Changheng narrowed his eyes slightly, stood in front of the emperor and whispered:
"Don't be afraid, my royal brother. It's not a ghost."
The emperor was slightly startled, and his expression seemed to relax a little, but he was still very nervous. He asked hesitantly in a low voice:
"Chang Heng, how did you know?"
Xiao Changheng looked in the same direction as Yun Qingqing, without saying anything.
At the same time, the skylight suddenly disappeared in an open space, and a dark hole appeared out of thin air and expanded rapidly. Soon, the deep hole was big enough for a person to pass through.
Immediately afterwards, two figures, one white and one black, walked out from inside.
Everyone who saw how these two people were dressed gasped!
The two men were wearing tall hats, white and black respectively, with the words "Wealth at first sight" and "Peace in the world" written on them. They were holding two scary-looking sticks with tiny bells on them.
The man in black had a gloomy face. He held a chain with a hook on the top in one hand and gently shook the stick in his hand as he walked. The bell that had just reached his mind rang again.
The man in white had a pair of narrowed eyes and a perfect smile on his face. He spoke as he walked, his tone sarcastic:
"I really can't stand listening to this anymore. Where did this ignorant brat come from? He doesn't even know what a ghost cultivator is, and yet he's spouting horrifying nonsense."
"Tsk tsk tsk..." He said as he flipped through a booklet in his hand, smiling, "Yun Bailian... Oh, you may not be that old, but you've done a lot of bad things. You've already accumulated a lot of sins before you even go to the underworld, and the nonsense you just said also has to be counted..."
"Oh, it's too troublesome. Let's just take him to the underworld and wait for the judge to deal with him!"
As they were talking, the two men had already walked up to Yun Bailian. When Yun Bailian saw them, her eyes widened, her whole body trembled, and she dared not move.
Needless to say, the other people present had their eyes widened wider than each other, and they didn't know whether to be shocked or scared!
Although no living person has ever actually seen the images of these two people, they are nonetheless very familiar!
If it’s not the Black and White Impermanence, then who else could it be!
And...what Bai Wuchang said just now contained a lot of information.
He said Yun Bailian didn't understand ghost cultivation? He also said she was talking nonsense. Does that mean... Yun Qingqing and her ghost kings aren't what they thought?
Although Bai Wuchang stood in front of Yun Bailian, he first bowed respectfully towards Yun Qingqing:
"Master Yun, please forgive us for being late. We are now taking this evil ghost back to the underworld. Please first remove this talisman."
Yun Qingqing nodded and raised her hand to take back the talisman that was pressing on Yun Bailian.
Everyone was stunned.
What did Bai Wuchang just say?
...Lord Yun?
