grabbing towards her face. The cold light came from the long, greenish-black fingernails on that withered hand.Wu Lianyi's face remained unchanged. She directly arched her back and lay on the ground,...This time when Lin went out, she completed two official tasks. The payment for the tasks was directly deposited into her account before she returned to Longhu Mountain. She bought herself a few new sets of clothes and then went back to the mountain gate to continue her life of quiet cultivation.

Muxi came to visit Lianyi at this time, firstly because he was about to go to university. Although it was in a nearby city, it was still far from Longhu Mountain and he wouldn't be able to see his master often. This was considered a farewell.

Besides the trip to Shishan Village, where he got his master involved, the four tasks he took during this long holiday were completed fairly well. So, when he returned to Longhushan to turn in his missions, it was at least a matter of starting and finishing what he began.

The most important thing is the female ghost king he had taken in. He wanted to ask his master to come forward and help him resolve it to prevent future troubles. Don't say he was taking shortcuts, he knew his own capabilities, and everything should be done carefully. This life couldn't afford any mistakes.

Ripples took a sip of tea, after listening to Musi year's narration, she finally asked:

"What level is that female ghost"

"She's at the Ghost King level, although she claims her memories are fuzzy because she's been drifting around the Underworld for too long, I don't think she's acting like a Ghost King who has lost their memory at all."

"How long has she been following you Have you noticed anything unusual"

The ripples continued to ask.

She already had a good idea of who this Ghost Queen was.

She followed me for a month. I intentionally didn't seal the plaque of the locust tree she lived in, and she secretly released her ghostly energy, trying to corrupt my body.

I'm not stupid. I took advantage of her hiding in the plaque under the locust tree during midday when she wouldn't come out, using the power of the scorching sun to drive away the ghost energy within me and preventing her from succeeding.

It is precisely because of this that I am certain she harbors ill intentions towards me. However, my abilities are inferior to hers, so I can only continue to keep her by my side without making a sound.

Today I said I was going to Long Hu Shan to see the master, she seemed very afraid of you. She made up an excuse that she was a ghost and it would be inconvenient for her to go to a place where Taoist masters gather, so I left her at home.

"What do you want me to do"

Ripple raised her eyes and asked, she wanted to know what choice the disciple who had been so obsessed with love in his previous life would make.

"The disciple came to seek out his master, hoping that you could take action and destroy her, causing her soul to fly apart!"

Mucci said through gritted teeth.

He truly hated this female ghost king. In his past life, she had pretended to love him while wearing the facade of a master, treating him merely as a backup shell. He hated himself even more for being blinded by his own wishful thinking, hurting the master who loved him the most, and ultimately harming himself.

Ripples saw a flash of hatred in the other's eyes, it was undeniable, so she nodded and said to Mu Xi Nian:

Tomorrow, I'll come to your place. It's just a farewell visit.

Yes, disciple understands! I will definitely stabilize the female ghost king.

The next day, Lian Yi brought some things she had prepared and went to Mu Xinyan's house.

Muxi's parents warmly received Lian Yi, preparing a table full of delicious dishes. They expressed their gratitude for her guidance to their son, who had now been admitted to a prestigious university. Their faces beamed with pride.

After lunch, Mushiyan sent his parents away, using the excuse that they needed to buy some seafood and prepare a seafood feast for their master that evening. Naturally, his parents didn't object and left with their wallets in hand.

But the ripples did not rush to clean up the female ghost king, first handing his prepared things to Mu Xinyan, then said:

During your four years of university, only holidays allow you to come back home. Spend more time with your parents then. For the rest of the time, focus on your practice and don't spend it all at Longhushan.

I've taught you everything I can. The rest is up to you. You also need to accumulate some practical experience.

Here are the talismans, arrays, and magical implements I've prepared for you, as well as a protective set of clothes. I hope your journey as a Taoist priest will be smooth sailing.

"If you encounter anything you can't handle, feel free to contact your master at any time."

"Yes, disciple has taken note. I will definitely not disappoint Master's expectations, nor will I tarnish Master's reputation."

Muxi Nian respectfully received the small bag with both hands and solemnly performed a ripple greeting, thanking him.

"Okay, now tell me about your trouble."

As soon as the ripples of her voice fell, Mu Xiannian crushed the locust wood plaque hanging from his waist, and Hong Ji inside had no choice but to reveal herself.

The moment she saw the ripples, a flash of panic crossed her stunning face, although it quickly calmed down, ripples still saw it clearly.

"You've come to my apprentice, what is it you want"

Ripples sat calmly in the main seat, asking in a cold voice.

"Master Celestial, allow me to speak. My humble request is simply to see my beloved once."

"Are you talking about that King of Ghosts, Nan Zhao I've already beaten him to smithereens, sending his soul flying back to the heavens. He got you to take his place and be trapped in the tomb, didn't he You must have hated him for it by now, right"

"If you're going to deceive my disciples, at least come up with a decent excuse!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Xinyuan visibly froze. It turned out that his master knew this female ghost king.

And Hongji was almost enraged, her true form about to be revealed. A red mist surged around her as she feigned composure and said:

"Master Celestial, I don't remember any of what you said. All I know is that I was struck heavily and drifted in the underworld for a long time."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the ripples.

"Hongji, don't pretend! You know you lost your memory. I can defeat you once, and I can defeat you again. Just tell me honestly, who helped you recover your Ghost King powers, and who sent you to my apprentice"

Liàn Yī laughed coldly and said directly.

Hong Ji knew she had been exposed, but fortunately this wasn't Longhushan. She instantly transformed into a red mist, wanting to wrap Mu Xi Nian and escape. She might not be able to beat him, but running was still an option.

But Lianyi had long since defended against her. Before the crimson mist could reach Musi Nian, it was deflected by a purple lightning talisman that Lianyi sent flying with a raised hand.

Musi also took a step forward and stood directly behind his own master, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Hong Ji was most afraid of purple lightning, and immediately used her Mist Escape technique to flee. Unfortunately, she couldn't fly out of the Mu family's gate at all. A brilliant golden formation blocked her way.

She instantly transformed into a ghostly apparition, baring her bloody maw and unleashing crimson blood mist, aiming to turn the Mu residence into a ghostly domain. Then she would use her powers to capture Mu Xinyuan. As long as she had the low cultivation Mu Xinyuan in her grasp, she could control Wu Lianyi.

Her idea was right, and the strategy was sound. However, Ripple was stronger than her. With a single "Pure" incantation, red mist billowed up, and Ripple grabbed her with bare hands. One hand was already covering her head, digging into her memories.

"Ah!" A shrill, ear-piercing shriek erupted from Hongji's mouth. She felt like her head was about to explode, and her entire soul felt unstable.

Ripple's eyes flashed, and she directly flung Hong Ji out with a wave of her hand. Then, she pinched a seal to open a rift. As Hong Ji was sucked into the fissure, her entire soul body suddenly exploded. However, the shockwave hadn't even dispersed before being blocked by the closed rift.

At the same time, in a shadowy room within an old apartment complex, a man who was getting agitated because he couldn't get in touch with Man Chi-chung and Lu Jian-shi suddenly discovered that a ghost card before him had shattered.ag to her colleagues, specifically requesting expedited processing.And then she hurriedly went to order lunch. As she left the restaurant, the sealed bag of DNA she had collected at the scene had alre...
