Chapter 157: 156 I have to shake people off now! (2 more updates)

In the Ghost World here, the days are always foggy, and one simply cannot distinguish the time.

Fortunately, with the Ghost King around, Yun Ran found out that she had been trapped here for a day and a night, no wonder her stomach was growling.

The Ghost King was kind-hearted and wanted to find some food for Yun Ran, but Yun Ran dared not eat anything from this place.

Even the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that grew in the Ghost World, Yun Ran dared not touch.

"Master, I just inquired, and heard that the lord of this Ghost City, guessing that you are from the Xuanmen people, ordinary Ghost Soldiers couldn’t capture you.

He has sent ghosts to the Extreme Domain to bring those Xuan Sect Ghosts who have made mistakes and are being punished there. As long as they capture you, their punishment will be waived."

Yun Ran: ...

Good heavens, these ghosts really go all out, even calling for external help!

The Ghost King looked at Yun Ran’s expression and then said cautiously: "Master, I know of a good hiding place..."

This is to suggest Yun Ran to switch her hiding spot, this place can avoid the Ghost Soldiers, but if those Xuan Sect Ghosts really come, it would be troublesome.

"No need!"

Whether the news of sending Xuan Sect Ghosts to capture her is a bluff or not, Yun Ran couldn’t possibly move.

Can a ghost who has become a big shot in the Ghost World be easily fooled?

By hiding carefully and minimizing her movement, she could reduce the chances of being discovered,

At this moment, the punished Nan Qing and other Xuan Sect Ghosts were also sent to the Ghost City where Yun Ran was hiding.

As soon as they arrived, they sensed Yun Ran’s presence. Originally, it was Yun Ran who used her Merit to send them into the Ghost World, forming a special bond with her.

A phantom appeared above their heads: [Capture the living person who infiltrated the Ghost City, and your sins will be cleared!]

There were, in all, 30 Xuan Sect Ghosts.

For the Xuan Sect Ghosts enduring endless punishment, this condition was like manna from heaven.

Watching the other Xuan Sect Ghosts getting ready to fight, rubbing their hands in eagerness.

Nan Qing glanced at his companions next to him, and they tacitly nodded.

They were willing to be punished, but if they were to betray their benefactor just to avoid punishment, then they would not deserve the cycle of reincarnation.

The 30 Xuan Sect Ghosts divided into 6 groups, Nan Qing and his companions did not form one group, but dispersed, each group included their companions.

The other Xuan Sect Ghosts, if they discovered Yun Ran, would certainly do everything possible to stop them; these who had been turned into Ghost Gu, had strength far superior to other punished Xuan Sect Ghosts.

When Nan Qing and others discovered Yun Ran, naturally, Yun Ran also sensed their presence.

[Good heavens, these Ghost World bigwigs really know how to utilize waste, directly letting out Ghost Gu like Nan Qing and others, aren’t they afraid of a rebellion!]

Originally, how much the Ghost King feared Nan Qing and others, Ginsengfruit knew, the Ghost King had said, those Ghost Gu of Nan Qing’s could each devour a Ghost King.

If it really came to a fight, the outcome was uncertain.

"These Ghost World bigwigs, having once been humans, do you really think they’re foolish? When Nan Qing and his group were released, they definitely carried a Prohibition. They can work but if they think about rebelling, they’ll directly receive an annihilation package."

Originally, she didn’t plan to make trouble in the Ghost World, it was just being implicated and drawn into it, now it seems, leaving quietly is impossible.

Sensing that Nan Qing and other Xuan Sect ghosts were drawing nearer.

Yun Ran grabbed the Dragon Spirit of the Water Dragon Vein with one hand and said, "Buy me some time, I need to summon help!"

The Dragon Spirit glanced at Yun Ran, knowing this fellow was reliable, and immediately patted its chest with its dragon claw.

It had been holding back a bellyful of fire; if not for Yun Ran holding it back, the Ghost Soldiers here wouldn’t be enough to satisfy its appetite.

[Host, are you summoning the ancestors? But this is the Ghost World, can the ancestors from Qingfeng Temple come here?]

"Who told you that only those who have ascended are the ancestors of Qingfeng Temple? The Ghost World still has ancestors of my Qingfeng Temple!"

Speaking, Yun Ran took off the silk fabric from his body, took out the incense, and the Merit on his body twisted into a very thin thread of gold, entwining around the incense.

The slow rising of blue smoke gradually ascended.

As the silk fabric was removed, Yun Ran’s aura immediately dispersed, and both the Ghost General and Ghost Emperor instantly locked onto Yun Ran.

At that moment, the Dharma Image of the Dragon Spirit suddenly enlarged, appearing above the area where Yun Ran was located, and the sound of the Dragon Roar was heard by all the ghosts in the Ghost City.

The more timid ghosts, terrified by the Dragon Roar, hurriedly looked for places to hide.

But there were more greedy ghosts who dreamt of advancing, the lower their level, the more likely they were to be devoured by higher-level ghosts at any time.

Nan Qing and other Xuan Sect ghosts, knowing Yun Ran’s hiding spot had been exposed, were thinking of making a move to stop these Xuan Sect ghosts from getting closer.

Unexpectedly, a powerful Dragon Roar came from Yun Ran’s location.

This Dragon Roar carried Yun Ran’s Merit, and they immediately knew, this Dragon Spirit was Yun Ran’s ally.

Not only those greedy ghosts wanted to share a piece of the fortune, but other Xuan Sect ghosts also harbored a trace of greed in their eyes.

Punished Xuan Sect ghosts, not everyone has a heart of repentance and redemption.

"Quick, capture that Dragon Spirit, that’s a great treasure of nourishment!"

Nan Qing and his companions regrouped, watching countless ghosts, a dark mass, all heading in Yun Ran’s direction.

"What do we do, with so many ghosts, our benefactor might not be able to handle it."

"Let’s go over and check the situation first, if our benefactor is at a disadvantage, even if it means our destruction, we absolutely can’t let these ghosts devour our benefactor!"

Having reached a consensus, Nan Qing and other Xuan Sect ghosts also moved towards where Yun Ran was.

Initially watching from outside, the Ghost King, seeing so many ghosts coming this way and that Dragon Spirit releasing all its aura,

was so frightened that her eyelids flipped back, and she collapsed on the ground; too bad she was a Ghost King, and didn’t faint.

The blue smoke drifted into the sky, the burning smell of Merit, to these ghosts, was like delicious food.

The approaching ghosts, attracted by such a scent, became somewhat agitated and increased their speed even more.

The Dragon Spirit looked disdainfully at those ghosts who thought they had a sure win, snorted coldly, and the moment the Dragon Breath passed, the ghosts at the very front all turned into ash.

Yun Ran wiped a bit of blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed his slightly haggard face, having been hungry all day.

Only then did he bow three times and kowtow nine times, reverently chanting a long string of words before saying, "Qingfeng Temple’s unworthy disciple Yun Ran, respectfully summoning the ancestors~"

As Yun Ran’s voice fell.

A solemn and distant voice came from afar: [Audacity! Who dares to bully the descendants of my Qingfeng Temple!]
