"Immortal?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Did the immortals allow the ghosts to eat people?
Did the immortals turn them into vengeful ghosts?
absurd.
If he were truly an immortal, how could he possibly do such a thing?
but--
There is indeed an ethereal aura here.
That's really strange.
What kind of immortal is this?
"How dare you, a piece of trash, inquire about the immortals!"
"Brothers, charge! She's radiating light; the immortal once said it's called the light of merit."
"If one could consume someone with the aura of merit, it would be equivalent to consuming a hundred people! Her aura of merit is so dazzling and radiant, like the sun, she is worth at least a thousand... no, at least tens of thousands!"
Just as those vengeful ghosts were filled with fear and confusion, a huge and fierce-looking vengeful ghost floated down from the second floor.
Judging from the turbid aura surrounding this vengeful ghost and its appearance, it is the one that has devoured the most people among these ghosts, and it is also the strongest one among them.
Other ghosts couldn't see the light of merit emanating from her, but she could.
It ate at least a hundred people!
Jiang Yuan's gaze suddenly sharpened.
When those who heard that Jiang Yuan possessed a radiant aura of merit and that eating one of her was equivalent to eating tens of thousands of people, the fear in their eyes vanished instantly, replaced only by restless desire and greed.
They wait here for humans to arrive, and with each person they eat, they can clearly feel themselves becoming stronger.
The more people and souls they consume, the stronger they become.
The immortal said that they are vengeful ghosts, and vengeful ghosts are afraid of sunlight. If they want to go out, they must cultivate to become stronger so that they will not be afraid of sunlight after they go out.
If they could devour this person who possesses the light of merit, they would not only be able to leave this place, but they would also be invincible!
"Go quickly!" The vengeful ghost floated in front of them, waving its large hand like a commander-in-chief.
The vengeful spirits were indeed incited by it, rushing towards Jiang Yuan without regard for anything else, forgetting that Jiang Yuan had just grabbed their companion by the neck with her bare hands.
Jiang Yuan's eyes were icy cold as she looked through the group of vengeful ghosts and saw the smile on the lips of the ghost behind her.
Its features were not good-looking in life, and after eating so many people, its appearance changed. Its smile was cunning and eerie.
Jiang Yuan didn't waste any more words with them and threw the fierce ghost that was choking her neck away.
With swift hand seals, soul fire suddenly appeared, covering the bodies of the fierce ghosts that rushed forward first. Wherever the soul fire touched, wails of agony filled the air.
Jiang Yuan chanted incantations again, and thousands of soul-locking chains suddenly appeared on the ground, tightly binding the vengeful ghosts.
The soul-binding chains intertwined, forming a spider web.
The vengeful spirits bound by the Soul-Locking Chains seemed to have their power drained away, becoming weak and powerless, unable to even struggle free.
They've always been in this building. They eat people who come, and they eat the souls of the dead. They've always been the victors.
This is the first time I've encountered someone who can subdue them so easily.
This girl is definitely not simple!
Upon seeing this, the ghost that had been inciting these vengeful spirits vanished from its smile, "Lock... Soul-Locking Chains!"
"You know about the Soul-Locking Chains? It seems you were once bound by them, but escaped," Jiang Yuan affirmed.
Look at these vengeful ghosts bound by the Soul-Locking Chains. Their eyes are filled with bewilderment and surprise, like those of a clear-eyed college student, full of curiosity and incomprehension about something they've never seen before. It's clear that this is the first time they've ever seen Soul-Locking Chains.
But when the vengeful ghost that had instigated them saw the Soul-Locking Chains, a hint of fear flashed in its eyes, and it was still able to utter the words "Soul-Locking Chains."
Clearly, it had seen it before.
The Soul-Locking Chain is something that the underworld officials need to detain ghosts, vengeful spirits, or evil spirits. Since it has seen them, it means that it has also seen the people of the underworld.
The bad thing is, it ran away.
This tells us who it encountered before.
Once this matter is resolved, she must return the fate of the Night Wanderer to him.
With Jiang Yichen's weak destiny, he simply couldn't cultivate.
His original destiny was a good one. If his original destiny were returned to him, his cultivation speed should be faster.
One's destiny is determined by fate. When a person dies, their destiny is gone, but the wandering soul remains and is in the underworld. It can be said that this is his second life, so the destiny can be returned to him.
Although it won't allow him to have the same good fortune as when he was alive, such as meeting and receiving help from benefactors, it will at least make his soul stronger.
In general, having something is better than not having anything.
"You...you're someone sent from the underworld?"
"There's an array here. Anyone with even a little spiritual power can't see this building. Only ordinary people can see it. How... how did you find it!"
The vengeful ghost took two steps back, no longer preoccupied with the aura of merit emanating from her; instead, it was filled with fear.
People from the underworld have arrived!
This is going to be difficult!
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan finally understood why the Night Patrol and the Black and White Impermanence hadn't noticed anything unusual at this place.
Because there is also a formation set up here that makes the building invisible to anyone with even a little spiritual power.
Needless to say, the Black and White Impermanence are powerful magicians, and with their powerful magic, their spiritual power is naturally also strong.
As for the night wanderers and the underworld officials, although they are not as good, they still work in the underworld and have some spiritual power.
This is why the underworld didn't discover this place!
Knowing that an invisible array was set up, and specifically targeting those with spiritual power, it's clear that this was to prevent the people of the underworld from discovering this place.
If Lin Qingtian and the others hadn't drawn the winning lot, she probably wouldn't have known about the strange things involved.
“Just now, a girl who can use blue flames left from here. That girl can use blue flames, and she can also…” A vengeful ghost who was lucky enough not to be bound by the Soul-Locking Chains slowly walked behind the vengeful ghost and said weakly.
"However, that girl has short hair and isn't as pretty as her, but I'm sure the flames they release are the same!"
"It's blue, beautiful, and inextinguishable."
The vengeful ghost affirmed again.
It had just watched helplessly as the vengeful ghost it usually got along with rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on its body. Unexpectedly, the flames not only did not go out, but burned even more fiercely, eventually burning itself to ashes in front of it.
"Run!" The vengeful ghost's expression turned ugly when it heard the beautiful blue flames, and it shouted without hesitation.
It turned around and tried to fly towards the second floor, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Soul-locking chains appeared suddenly before it, seemingly everywhere, blocking the exit to the second floor.
Before the vengeful ghost could react, the Soul-Locking Chain flew towards it like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath.
By the time the vengeful ghost realized what was happening, its wrists were already bound by the Soul-Locking Chain. The other vengeful ghost, who had been lucky enough not to be bound earlier, was now also bound by the Soul-Locking Chain and hung up like a vine.
The ghost's expression changed drastically. As the chain extended from its wrist towards its arm, it immediately raised its other hand and chopped down at that arm.
Bang--
The arm, bound by the Soul-Locking Chain, separated from its body.
The moment they separated, the vengeful ghost flew upwards, its face eerie and filled with pain.
Even so, it kept chattering away without stopping.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The vengeful ghost muttered, "The immortals should descend soon."
