Chapter 153: 152 Intruded into the Ghost World! (2nd update)

If it weren’t for the Ghost King’s swift escape just now, Yun Ran would probably really believe its words by now.

No wonder the elderly always say, don’t trust the words of ghosts, it really is so.

"You go see if this person is related to you!"

Yun Ran seriously doubted that Ling Buqu was not really there to save people at all.

Once his identity becomes problematic, then all of his previous actions must be overturned and reevaluated.

The Ghost King looked at Ling Buqu’s miserable state and felt that this person looked familiar, but just couldn’t remember why.

Caught in deep thought, the Ghost King suddenly began to emit a chilly ghost energy, and its eyes slowly started to turn red.

Seeing it about to rampage, Yun Ran slapped it.

"I asked you to check if he looks familiar, not to change your face on the spot!"

The Ghost King’s mind cleared instantly; ever since being subdued by Yun Ran, it had become much more obedient, not daring to rampage at the slightest provocation.

It hadn’t acted as the ’Great King’ in a long time!

It also didn’t understand why it suddenly emitted ghost energy upon seeing Ling Buqu, as if it couldn’t control itself.

This situation could only mean that its transformation into the Ghost King was definitely related to Ling Buqu in some way.

Yun Ran got the answer she was looking for, collected the Ghost King, and then fell into contemplation.

[Host, what’s wrong with you?]

"I can’t be wrong about the divination I did before. Based on the capabilities of Ling Buqu and the others right now, they are not enough to cause Gu Yuan’s ten certain deaths, so they must have a backup plan."

She had already checked Ling Buqu and the others; although they had a number of magic artifacts, apart from the original owner’s baby hair and Qu Ying’s blood from her heart which could harm her, the rest could be disregarded.

Carefully recalling all the details from before and finding no clues, Yun Ran didn’t continue to waste time, instructing Little Paperman to open the steel plate.

With a few "click click click" sounds, Little Paperman violently punched several holes in the indestructible steel plate.

It was at this moment that Yun Ran finally noticed something amiss; aside from the people in the private rooms, there was no longer any sign of living breath in the entire club.

Yun Ran took a step out, and a Yin Cold Energy that could soak into the bones madly surged into Yun Ran’s body.

Yun Ran, always composed, now had an ashen face.

Elsewhere, Gu Yuan had been keeping an eye on the direction of the club from not too far away, accompanied by some elders from the Gu Family in the Huannan region.

Seeing that time was almost reaching noon and Yun Ran still hadn’t come out, he fiddled with the steering wheel absentmindedly.

The sun was shining brightly outside, yet a foreboding sensation quietly emerged in his heart.

"Uncle Gu, you stay outside and watch; I’ll go over and take a look."

"Alright, you go. I’ll keep watch here."

Uncle Gu didn’t know that Yun Ran had shown Gu Yuan the divination, and he was even less aware that it was a divination of certain death; otherwise, he would never have let Gu Yuan go.

Gu Yuan opened the car door and went towards the direction of the club; this area was not any bustling commercial street; a private club like this valued quietude.

Walking past, not seeing a single person, Gu Yuan did not harbor the slightest suspicion.

Until he pushed open the door and entered the club, a powerful and dangerous presence immediately locked onto Gu Yuan.

"How daring, a mortal has trespassed into the Ghost Path!"

Gu Yuan looked back, but there was no door behind him anymore.

At this moment, he finally remembered the divination that Yun Ran had previously performed for him, and felt momentarily panicked, but soon calmed down.

He quickly took out the Protective Magical Artifact from his body and vigilantly looked towards the direction of the voice: "I have no intention of trespassing, please..."

Before he could finish speaking, the flames on Gu Yuan’s shoulder dimmed, and the previously indistinct shadows

now gradually revealed their forms.

A procession of ghosts appeared, all dressed in ancient attire, carrying a black palanquin.

The leader of the group, judging by the attire, looked like a general riding a tall horse, holding a saber emitting a cold gleam, and looked ominously at him.

"Foolish death!"

The other party didn’t listen to Gu Yuan at all and slashed down with the saber.

Gu Yuan sprang up to resist, and when the Magic Artifact met the general’s saber, it shattered just like a counterfeit product.

Fortunately, he was agile enough to roll on the spot and evade the saber, but the flames on his shoulder were dimming even more, about to extinguish.

It was at this time that his vision became clearer, and he finally saw the ghostly figures behind the general.

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but gasp in shock; the group he encountered was actually the ceremonial procession of a big shot from the Ghost World.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Gu Yuan ran for his life; this was not something he could handle.

Luckily, when the other party attacked him earlier, it was only because he was in the way. After he escaped, they did not chase after him.

Gu Yuan felt his heart about to jump out of his throat, a mix of fear and an indescribable excitement.

He had actually entered the Ghost World! As a member of the Xuanmen, he had captured Evil Cultivators and Evil Ghosts but never thought that one day he would arrive in the Ghost World alive.

If he can return alive, the members of the Gu Family would envy him to death, perhaps they would even start a new branch of the family genealogy just for him.

Yun Ran sensed the Yin Cold Energy, formed a hand seal with one hand, and just like encountering a nemesis, the Yin Cold Energy immediately stopped in its tracks, took a sharp turn, and stayed far away from Yun Ran.

The Ghost King recognized this very familiar aura and asked in confusion, "Master, how did you, a living person, enter the Ghost World?"

Yun Ran: ...

Was it possible that she was dragged in here? Or rather, the entire club was pulled in.

No wonder those Evil Cultivators have been living so comfortably under the Special Administration Bureau’s watch for so many years.

Initially, when she opened the Ghost Gate, she almost lost her life. These people were amazing, they accomplished such a feat without anyone noticing, as if by magic.

She had the Heavenly Thunder Order and the Protective Golden Feather given by her ancestors, so there was no need to panic, but if she ignored those people in the private room, they would soon be dead.

Saving them was not appealing to her; at most, she’d ensure they didn’t die but it was necessary to capture them and make them face their deserved punishment.

Just when she was planning to go back, Yun Ran’s brow twitched; good heavens, Gu Yuan had also entered!

After calculating a near-certain death for Gu Yuan, Yun Ran had placed a mark on him; after all, he was one of their own, and she couldn’t just watch him die.

The people in the private room were not comparable to Gu Yuan; Yun Ran directly took out the last Heavenly Thunder Pearl and handed it to Little Paperman.

"Keep an eye on, them, just make sure no one dies."

Little Paperman nodded promptly, holding the Heavenly Thunder Pearl and flew back, obediently standing by the door, keeping the Evil Energy at bay from the private room.
