t makes you want to just…”My eyebrows twitched. This morning, that must have been Changjing, right Changjing has indeed had quite a few cosmetic surgeries to enhance her beauty, making her look a bit...He has a gun.
Even a rusty handgun scavenged from the black market on the border could inflict immense physical damage.
My older brother almost without thinking stepped in front of me, but how could I let him get into trouble
"What do you want to do" I asked.
Actually, I've already been considering the worst-case scenario — forcefully taking someone's soul.
These people are always provoking me. First, they think I'm weak. Second, they have a gambler's mentality.
Wealth and honor are fraught with peril, they were already those who failed to walk the righteous path. Threatening Jiang Qiyun with me is a surefire way to make a fortune. The underworld has a book of life and death, to escape the death register, one must either achieve enlightenment or have their name erased.
Jiang Qiyun could give her four hundred years with just one word, and he might even use me as leverage in negotiations right now.
What could she possibly do with my body
He killed me, Jiang Qiyun directly reduced her to ashes, while I merely reincarnated into the cycle of life and death with a blood curse.
Unless the Ghost Princess still has some formidable sorcery that can control me, or draw out and refine my soul
This is something to be particularly wary of. It's fine if the body dies, but if the soul gets into trouble, it's hard to say whether one can reincarnate peacefully.
My mind raced, desperately trying to figure out how to catch them all.
I am waiting to be appointed, and any unforeseen circumstances could render all my previous efforts futile.
Lin Yanhuan's father was waiting to take over, but actually I was there as a special advisor for the Lin family. So when the Grand Elder saw me, he only wanted to confirm if Lin Yanhuan really trusted me.
If my scandal with the Shen family were to be exposed now, the Shen family's reputation would plummet and Lin Yanhuan's efforts to help me ascend to power would go down the drain. It might even cause trouble for the Lin family.
The masked, tall man spoke in a hoarse voice: "I know you're capable, but we've been working on this for years and won't give up because of you... No matter how many people the Shen family sends, they'll all be held captive until you come yourself... Once you arrive, don't even think about escaping!"
We had probably set up a magical barrier when we first arrived. I took a look at the twilight glow in the sky, there was some faint blurring that wasn't easy to notice.
Jiang Qiyun's biggest scandal was when I crawled into a certain magic formation.
Even ghosts, gods, demons, and monsters know how to hide themselves. Those with high cultivation understand how to set up formations. As long as the internal workings of the formation sway or tilt, it can be broken.
Now breaking through the formation isn't very difficult for me... What's difficult is that gun in the masked man's hand.
My brother and I definitely don't want to eat "peanuts." If we get injured, it will be hard to escape smoothly, let alone take down this whole group.
My brother couldn't help but glance back at Shen Qingrui and scolded, "Aren't you very awesome How could you be caught so easily"
Shen Qingrui's lips were slightly purplish, she was probably poisoned. But her temper wasn't small, she retorted impetuously: "How would I know they were so poisonous, making us drink tea to attract insects~ Those insects bite people, causing paralysis!"
Tea
My brother and I glanced at each other. The village head invited us to drink tea! As it turned out, it was a medicine decoction for worms.
"Damn it! That bastard actually betrayed the revolution!" My brother roared.
Bang!
A gunshot echoed, making us flinch.
"Surrender, and you can suffer a little less... We're already backed into a corner. Today, it's either your death or..." The masked man was about to spit out a threat when a gust of wind suddenly swept behind him!
"Awwwww~~~" a chilling yet endearing roar echoed through the air.
The little fiend transformed its form, resembling a lion, engulfed in mist the color of sand and gold as it charged forward.
It bit down hard on the masked man's hand holding the gun, throwing him to the ground with a force!
"NICE!" My brother whacked the nearby villager with his stick, then turned to me and shouted, "Xiao Qiao, hurry up!"
I turned to look at Shen Qingrui. She wasn't far from me. The other three disciples of the Shen family were tied to a log. I should be able to untie them!
My brother saw that I wanted to help and shouted, "Don't bother with them! They'll only slow us down if they're hurt! We don't even know if we can escape ourselves!"
But we've already been here, if we leave these people behind they will be killed!
What's the point of keeping useless bait around
Shen Qingrui's face turned pale and flushed, unable to speak. The two disciples who came with her pleaded, "Master Head, please save us!!"
"We will never hold anyone back! Please save us!"
Shen Qingrui bit her lip, stubbornly refusing to speak. While others pleaded for mercy, she defiantly held her ground and refused to relent.
"Bro, the rope!" I shouted to my brother.
"Damn it! Usually you guys don't treat me like the boss! Now you come begging for mercy! Get the hell out of here!"
My brother almost got stabbed by a dagger. He was so angry that he shocked the man with his electric baton and then kicked him into the emerald green pool.
He quickly threw the life rope over, tying the other end to a large rock.
The little fiend was incredibly brave and formidable, scaring off a large group of people. The masked man almost had his hand bitten off by it, dropping his gun down the hillside. Although someone went to retrieve it immediately, it bought us some time for now.
Seven steps to lotus, I can only take seven steps at the moment!
And two lotuses had already been used up. With five steps remaining, I could only grasp the incantation and jump desperately forward, barely reaching the wooden ties that bound them.
When the rope was cut, that Kun Dao and two Qian Dao cried tears of gratitude. Shen Qingrui bit her lip, the ending for those who stayed here was obvious.
I saw that she had no intention of asking for help, so I turned around and prepared to wade back with the life rope myself.
"You—" Shen Qingrui was so angry her face turned green.
"What do you mean" I turned to her. "Didn't you say that even after death, you could serve Jiang Qiyun in the underworld Now's your chance to see if you can find him again after you die."
“The Emperor said that if I go back to the Underworld, I can become a servant!” she retorted angrily.
"Hmph... He said that when I wasn't even born yet, and you didn't throw me down to the Underworld either! Now try it, see if he dares to say such things again, hmph..." I sneered.
I'm sorry, honey. I need to play along.
Actually, Jiang Qiyun isn't really afraid of me. He's just letting me have my way now, too lazy to argue with me.
The mentality of an old married couple.
“I don't have time to waste words with you. Either beg for mercy, or I leave first.”
“Wait, wait a minute—” she was so angry she could spit fire.
If she died in this remote mountain forest, or even in a filthy pool of stagnant water, perhaps she would be brutally raped and murdered by a band of savage hillbillies. How could Shen Qingrui possibly endure that
But I really didn't have time to haggle with her. I turned my head and was about to jump out of the last step of the lotus.
Shen Qingrui panicked and hurriedly said, “...help, help me untie the rope!”
I turned back to look at her, her mouth was almost bleeding from biting: “……please, Lord of the house…untie the rope…”
And
“……”
"Huh"
"...Little one, mother, mother."ow-level demons entered the world, and she mixed among them. She should have come here for a purpose…” Jiang Qiyun explained lightly.Bai Wu Chang adjusted his cuffs, squinting and smiling: "Then, this...
