Sheng He hurriedly followed, but the ghost's figure suddenly disappeared after entering the inn. Sheng He immediately jumped out of the window into the empty room.

The room was silent, as if nothing had happened.

The waiter said that someone had died in this room, and the remaining ghostly energy in the house would nourish the ghost's soul and conceal her figure.

In that case... Sheng He set up a barrier in the room and took out the Explosive Flame Pill from the storage ring.

The Explosive Flame Pill fell to the floor with a "bang!" and the room was instantly blown to pieces. A raging fire broke out in the room, and a big hole appeared in the roof. The pale moonlight shone in. The ghost hiding in the shadows howled in pain. Her whole body was burned by the flames, but her body was constantly healing, and she continued to endure the pain of the burning fire.

She desperately banged her head against the barrier in an attempt to escape, but the red rope around her neck kept strangling her.

Until a golden light flashed on the red rope, the ghost suddenly stopped moving. Her whole body was on fire, and black blood and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes. Under the reflection of the raging fire, she looked particularly creepy.

She turned around and stared at Sheng He with her pupil-less eyes. The ghostly aura in the room suddenly surged, and the ghost walked to the barrier stiffly like a puppet. She looked at Sheng He outside the room, and suddenly grinned, with the corners of her mouth cracked to the back of her ears, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

The ghost leaned her hands on the barrier and tore it hard. In an instant, a hole was opened in the barrier. She squeezed her body out of the hole, and a "gurgling" sound kept coming out of her throat.

But she did not come towards Sheng He. Instead, she crawled along the window. She used the same trick again, tore open the barrier left by the killer, and crawled towards A Yuan and Ling'er.

The moment the barrier was broken, A Yuan woke up. Seeing the woman crawling towards her, she was so scared that she jumped up from the bed.

"Sheng He, save us!"

Before she finished her words, a large piece of mud came out from the window and poured onto the ghost's body, instantly extinguishing the fire on her body. But the ghost didn't care. She grabbed the naked Ling'er and quickly wrapped the red rope around her neck around Ling'er's fingers.

A huge force came from the red rope, and the ghost's eyes became clear for a moment. The next moment, she and Ling'er were pulled back by the huge force.

That's the master calling.

The ghost's eyes became obsessed. Even though her master had just burned her soul and spirit, and she felt a heart-wrenching pain all over her body, she still held Ling'er tightly, looking forward to returning to her master's side.

With a "bang", half of her body passed over the earth wall, and the red rope on her neck and the other half of her body hit the earth wall heavily. The moment it hit the wall, something entangled her.

The ghost looked down and saw that it was a vine. Her body was a shadow. Nothing could stop her except the spirit rope, but the vine was a Yin wood.

She was carried away by the huge force and fell heavily to the ground.

Sheng He stood in the air with his sword, and seeing that the vines blocked the ghost's way, he quickly took out the spirit rope from his storage ring.

It wasn't until she saw that the ghost's target was Ling'er that she finally understood.

No wonder Jiang Xuanli would look for people from the Seven Kill Pavilion. The people from the Seven Kill Pavilion were targeting her, and the charm ghost was Jiang Xuanli's backup. Regardless of whether the people from the Seven Kill Pavilion could kill her or not, the charm ghost would wait for an opportunity to bring back the mermaid.

What a cruel method.

After tying up the ghost tightly with the spirit rope, Sheng He immediately untied the red rope that bound Ling'er.

"Ling'er! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Ah Yuan rushed over and didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he heard that Ling'er was fine. He then looked at the ghost who was still struggling and asked hurriedly, "Miss Sheng, what on earth is going on?"

"The inn was attacked by assassins just now. This ghost was also sent by Jiang Xuanli. We should not stay here for long. We'd better leave as soon as possible."

A Yuan and Ling'er nodded immediately. In the current situation, staying here any longer would increase the danger.

Sheng He looked at the second floor of the inn which was blown bare, placed a gold coin on the shopkeeper's counter, threw the ghost tied with spirit rope into the dense forest, and tied the ghost tightly with vines, then left with A Yuan and the others.

It was not until he was flying his sword above the clouds that Sheng He breathed a sigh of relief. He took out two bottles of pills from his pocket and handed them to A Yuan and Ling'er.

"Jiang Xuanli will not let Ling'er go so easily. For now, we'd better not rest and head directly to the Eastern Sea."

"It will probably take ten days to fly with the sword day and night. This is Hui Yuan Dan, which can help you recover your strength. Both of you are injured. If you really can't hold on, tell me and I will try to fly slower, or stuff you into my sleeves like before."

Ling'er recalled the feeling of being wrapped in black cloth and stuffed into Sheng He's sleeves, and immediately shook her head.

"Sister Sheng, we can hold on."

"The most urgent thing is to return to the Eastern Sea. Ling'er and I will do our best to hold on. Miss Sheng, don't worry about us."

"Um."

Sheng He nodded slightly, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the iron sword under his feet. It was just an ordinary long sword.

The Aoshuang Sword was broken. It was the sword given to her by her master and it was her first sword.

…

At this time, Sheng'an City was in chaos, and countless soldiers were patrolling the streets with weapons in hand.

Because two big things happened in the city last night.

The city lord's son Chen Zichuan and the Wang family's eldest son Wang Zheng were found dead at home. The city lord ordered a thorough investigation and soon found out that the murderer was from the Seven Killing Pavilion.

According to the information obtained by the city lord, in the entire Sheng'an City, only the Jiang family of Wanbao Auction House contacted the Qisha Pavilion yesterday.

It was because Chen Zichuan was bewitched by Jiang Xuanli that he asked Chen Yuanhua to kill Sheng He and the mermaid.

For a time, all auction venues and shop businesses of Wanbao Auction House in Sheng'an City were suspended, and a large number of elite soldiers were guarding the gate of Jiang Mansion, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

Jiang Xuanli looked at the red rope in the basin floating quietly on the water. No matter how he called it, the red rope no longer responded. He was so angry that he kicked over the table.

"Useless! They are all a bunch of useless!"

"You can't even bring back a little mermaid. Are you guys being raised by the Jiang family just for free?"

Women's screams were heard from inside the house, and the servants outside the door lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

He didn't knock on the door tentatively until the noise in the house gradually stopped.

"Master, there is news from Dragon Island."

The door suddenly opened and the servant walked in tremblingly.

Someone carried out of the house, two corpses covered with white cloth. Jiang Xuanli slowly washed the blood off his hands and wiped them with a clean towel.

"Go ahead."
