Chapter 318 Regret Acting Like a Coquettish Person
The middle-aged man looked at Zhong Ling'er with amusement, wondering why a little girl in the Nascent Soul stage could let the copper-scaled snake act like a decoration so obediently.
The beast from the underworld has always been arrogant. Even the King of Hell can only make it bow its head, but it cannot get close to it. But now he has restrained all his breath, quietly but carefully pressed against the slender white wrist, tightening the sharp scales without leaving even a scratch. This is too abnormal.
Ouyang Ruochen asked cautiously: "Who are you, fellow Taoist, and why are you here?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and the pressure from his body was released. A heavy feeling permeated the space, and the entire area was shrouded in it. Everyone was in awe and could not muster the slightest bit of resistance. Their bodies pressed unnaturally against the ground, as if they wanted to surrender to the strong man.
But reason made everyone unwilling to surrender. Ouyang Ruochen, Bai Luochen and other cultivators refused to kneel down. Their knees made crisp sounds from being pressed and finally slammed heavily to the ground.
After noticing this pressure, Zhong Ling'er suppressed the copper-scaled snake that wanted to change back to its original form, and pounced forward very smoothly and simply lay on the ground.
Among a group of half-kneeling monks who were fighting against the powerful tribulation-crossing cultivator, a person lying on the ground suddenly appeared, and was very conspicuous. The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment, and suddenly withdrew the powerful pressure.
"You can call me Ghost Six. I'm an evil ghost. It's normal for me to be here, isn't it?"
Everyone stepped back warily, their expressions of shock evident in words. The evil ghost in the Tribulation Period was the Ghost King. Oh my God, they actually encountered the Ghost King. No, they had never heard of the existence of the Ghost King in the ghost realm before!
Zhong Linger stood up and dusted herself off, then said seriously, "Uncle Ghost King, it's wrong for you to say that. It's normal for you to appear in the underworld. There shouldn't be a ghost realm or a demon abyss in this world. It's because we have become a land abandoned by the gods that these two places exist."
"But the creatures in this world are unwilling to go to destruction, so the ghost realm must be cleared, and you have to leave here."
The Ghost King laughed loudly, "Why, so the God-forsaken Land can't accommodate me?"
There was a hint of desolation in her laughter, and Zhong Ling'er hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't feel that no one wants you. In fact, you are quite popular. Our Taiqiong Sect is in need of a supreme elder. You can consider it."
When Master Wu Chen saw the Ghost King appear, he was worried about the safety of his disciples. However, when he heard his young disciple trying to recruit the Ghost King, he suddenly felt numb.
The Ghost King, a strong man at the peak of tribulation, no, he is not just at the peak of tribulation, that is only the highest realm that this world can accommodate. He should actually have the strength of a Golden Immortal, how could he be content with this small temple of Taiqiong Sect.
The others also looked at Master Wu Chen in disbelief. How dare the Taiqiong Sect to want a ghost king to be the supreme elder? Are they dreaming of going to heaven?
The Ghost King was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhong Ling'er's words, then he said with a smile: "I am a ghost cultivator. If you get close to me, I will suck away your Yang Qi. Aren't you afraid that everyone in your sect will die?"
"This is not difficult to solve. You like extremely yin places, the back mountain of Taiqiong Sect. I will ask Zulong to find you an extremely yin academy, and then set up a Liangyi formation to gather the extremely yin energy for your use. This way the problem will be solved. And the Forgetful Soul Tree can be used as the center of the formation."
Zhong Ling'er's words made the Ghost King realize that Zhong Ling'er was not just talking casually, but had really considered it seriously. He couldn't help but glance at the copper-scaled snake in her hand, and seemed to understand where Zhong Ling'er came from when she said it was very popular.
But some things have already happened, and he can't forget them, let alone erase them, so he can't go back, and he can't harm others anymore. So he shook his head and laughed, pointing at the group of people who were beaten and bleeding, "If you don't take care of them, they will really die."
Zhong Ling'er shrugged, looking helpless, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to save them, but I don't know how we got attacked, and I really can't think of a way to save them!"
The Ghost King raised his lips, "Are you unable to save them, or are you still angry and want them to suffer more?"
"Before they came into contact with the so-called spiritual spring, they were sober. They rushed to grab the spiritual spring because they couldn't resist the temptation. You were originally competitors. After being saved by you once, they didn't learn their lesson. They are lustful and greedy. So the second time, you will save them, but it will take some time."
Zhong Ling'er rolled her eyes, smiled and walked forward, pulling the Ghost King's sleeve and acting like a spoiled child, "Uncle, you can't say that to me. I'm just a little cultivator, how can I save them? Now I can only help you."
But at this moment, the copper-scaled snake on Zhong Ling'er's wrist fell into the sleeve of the Ghost King. Zhong Ling'er was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the copper-scaled snake was trying to do, but the Ghost King said, "Okay, since you begged me, I'll help you!"
Then he waved his sleeves, and the gray mist in the entire space suddenly dissipated. The surrounding scenery changed. The original spiritual spring turned into a bleeding corpse. The spiritual spring was just as Zhong Ling'er had guessed. The white spiritual energy was stained with blood and turned into a pool of blood.
The monks who were fighting for the water came to their senses and saw that they were covered in blood, both their own blood and the blood splashed from the blood pool. Those who had drunk the spiritual spring water had red mouths and knelt on the ground vomiting, wishing they could vomit out their intestines.
Zhong Ling'er only glanced at those people, but when she looked for the Ghost King and the Bronze-Scaled Snake, there was no trace at all.
She wanted to slap herself in the face. For the first time, Zhong Ling'er felt regretful and wished time could go back. Why did she act like a spoiled child? Why did she ask the Ghost King to save her? It was obvious that nothing was done. Now Xiao Tong and the Ghost King had both run away. What if the Ghost King was abducted back to the underworld by Xiao Tong?
Xuanyuan Hongyuan swore that he definitely saw the word regret on Zhong Ling'er's face, but Zhong Ling'er's expression changed in a second. She rushed forward with concern and said to the people who had fought: "My fellow brothers and sisters, everyone, take this time to rest. We just escaped from the illusion of the evil cultivator. We don't know what we will encounter next."
"Junior sister is right. We will all listen to her and adjust as soon as possible."
"Thank you so much, Junior Sister. You saved us twice. I will thank you very much after we get out!"
"It turns out that we were all under an illusion. These evil cultivators are so abominable. It's all thanks to Junior Sister!"
Xuanyuan Hongyuan felt that he was indeed far inferior to Zhong Ling'er. The ability to adapt to circumstances and be shameless were beyond his ability.
If the Ghost King hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have known that Zhong Ling'er had been pretending to be ignorant even though she knew the truth.
Quietly approaching Zhong Ling'er, Xuanyuan Hongyuan asked in a low voice: "When did Junior Sister find out that we had fallen into a trap?"
