stench of burning flesh.The cold-faced female guards looked stern. They had encountered three ambushes on their journey so far, all of which they had successfully repelled. This time, however, the two...Musi Nian was truly furious, and his set of Tiger Roaring Fist technique was performed with ferocious power. Coupled with the enhancement of spiritual energy, the Ghost Children within Zhang Zhe's body began to wail. Some were unbearable and directly detached from Zhang Zhe's body, flying around chaotically, trying to escape the realm Zhang Zhe had created.

As Zhang Zhe's body shrank under the beating of Musi, the domain he created began to destabilize. It flickered constantly and finally vanished, becoming just another corner of the construction site.

And those unconscious, wandering child ghosts were also absorbed by the ripples into the willow plaque, to be sent to a temple for absolution and reincarnation after leaving this place.

"Stop fighting, I give up! I give up!"

Zhang Zhe has recovered to his normal height and is now begging for mercy.

But the ripples didn't speak, so Musi Nian just continued to pull on the other's hair and beat them up mercilessly. It really let him vent his anger.

"Stop fighting, I know who wants to harm you"

Zhang Zhe immediately added more chips to his stack. Lian Ri suddenly said:

"Let go this year!"

Musi Nian immediately let go, and then he felt himself flying up. When he landed back beside his master, Zhang Zhe suddenly exploded, shattering into pieces. It was an utter annihilation, as if his soul had been scattered.

"Master, what is this"

Musinian was taken aback and said.

He's already a ghost servant, about to betray his master. The ghost servant mark is activated, naturally it won't let him live.

Ripples chuckled coldly, truly reaping what he sowed.

"I see!"

Remember, we are Taoist masters who can control ghosts, but we cannot raise them!

Firstly, they don't belong to the world of the living anymore and should go to their own place. Secondly, ghosts are inherently yin energy. Staying with the living for a long time can affect their mentality, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

You incurred this taboo in your past life, which is why you harmed both yourself and others. I hope you won't repeat the mistakes of your past life.

"Master, rest assured. The disciple has learned from this mistake and will never repeat it!"

Musinian bowed his head in response, he truly remembered.

Meanwhile, Tao Yong, who was watching from afar, turned quite grim. The ghost card belonging to Zhang Zhe had shattered automatically, indicating that his own ghost servant had betrayed him and thus faced the punishment. Enraged, he crushed the shattered ghost card into powder.

"It seems I underestimated the opponent's strength. The next level won't be so easy."

Tao Yong sneered and said.

Lin Ri and Mu Xinyuan continued walking toward the center of the construction site. This time, there were no more hallucinations, but a large number of ghosts surged out from the depths of the construction site. These ghosts, after seeing Lin Ri and Mu Xinyuan, curiously floated around the two of them. Some of the bolder ones even reached out to touch Lin Ri and Mu Xinyuan.

Unfortunately, before those ghostly hands could reach the ripples, a golden light stopped them. Mu Xinyan had a protective jade talisman given to her by Lian Ri, so she wasn't afraid of these ghosts getting close.

"Who are you ahead, and why did you trespass into the underworld!"

A deep voice boomed, followed by the sound of chains dragging on the ground and heavy footsteps. The ghosts who had been curiously circling them moments before immediately scattered, muttering amongst themselves.

Lin Ri raised an eyebrow, waiting for a towering, three-meter-tall ghost attendant with skin as black as iron to appear before her. She calmly bowed and then offered him a Yin Gathering Talisman with her hand. This was essentially the currency of the underworld, and it was a talisman that only celestial masters could create – hard currency indeed.

The Ghost Messenger opened his copper-bell like eyes, glanced at Ripples and Mu Xinyan beside her, and casually took the Yin Gathering Talisman. His tone softened considerably as he spoke.

"Are you malicious spirits who have strayed here If so, return to where you came from as quickly as possible. Even celestial masters cannot linger here."

"Brother Ghost Messenger, it wasn't us who trespassed into the Underworld. Someone is playing tricks, leading a path from the Underworld into the human world, intentionally releasing souls into the mortal realm to disrupt the order of the living world. I hope Brother Ghost Messenger can investigate this matter and quickly seal off the path."

"Impossible! Who has the guts to privately connect the underworld with the mortal realm!"

The ghost messenger roared, scaring the surrounding ghosts even further away.

"Is that really true Big Brother Ghost, just take a look!"

Liàn yī was questioned but remained calm. She believed that the truth would speak for itself.

The ghost's eyes immediately turned red, shooting out a beam of ghostly light like a searchlight, scanning the distance. After a moment, it retracted its gaze, and said with a hint of displeasure:

"How can you, a Taoist priest, spout such nonsense and create chaos Come with me to see the Judge of the Underworld!"

"Master!"

Muxi Nian was startled and immediately poured the little spiritual energy he had left into his eyes, looking towards where the ghost messenger had just swept his gaze. Then he also suspiciously looked at his own master.

Because in his eyes, it was a road with some low and gloomy buildings on either side, not a construction site.

A golden gleam flashed in his eyes as he sighed and said to the ghost messenger and Mu Xinyuan:

Sometimes what your eyes see is not necessarily the truth.

As soon as the words left her mouth, a dagger materialized in her hand. The aura it emitted caused even the Ghost Officials to involuntarily take a step back. Then, with a casual flick of her wrist, she threw the dagger away.

The dagger slashed through the air in a perfect arc, then hovered for a moment, dripping erratically before plunging with force into a spot.

Then, in Mushi's and the reaper's eyes, it was like a curtain being ripped open, revealing the human construction site behind it. With the dagger's destruction, those things like green screens disappeared completely, leaving behind a construction site that had stopped work for the night.

The ghoul took another look with his eyes like a searchlight, and immediately blew up:

"Who! Dare to fool this ghost!"

As he spoke, the chains in his hands swung heavily, aimed directly at where Tao Yong was hiding.

"

Oh no!

"

Tao Yong exclaimed in surprise and ran away.

He didn't expect Wu Lianyi to see through his ruse. The two illusions before were just appetizers, intended to make her complacent. When she encountered the hundred ghosts, he would have her believe they were vengeful spirits attacking her.

As soon as a ripple makes a move, the ghost messengers will surely discover her. At that time, they won't even need to take action, for the ghost messengers will forcefully drag her soul away, claiming she has disrupted the order of the underworld.

At this point, all he cared about was destroying his opponent's physical body and avenging his grievances. As for Mu Xiannian, he was merely an accessory, simply to sever Wu Lianyi's lineage.

This took him two months of effort. He meticulously calculated the time and found this location, which allowed him to frame Wu Lianyi and help Zhang's company acquire the project at a low price. Afterward, he would stage another elaborate ritual, ensuring that no more ghosts appeared, boosting his reputation in the process. It was a truly brilliant move, achieving three goals with one action.

It was now him running away, though he ran with all his speed, the oni's chains disregarded distance and pierced through the darkness directly, wrapping around his neck. As he struggled, his entire soul was dragged out of his body.kle was also twisted. She was carried back to Hou Mansion.At this moment, in the study of the Marquis Anning, lay an unsigned letter, detailing the unsavory things that the Marchioness had done to her...
