Chapter 435: Ghost Bride

This is the dragon vein of a country; if one could expel the evil Qi within it and extract the essence of the dragon vein to inject into the current dragon vein of Yan Country, it might even be able to enhance the National Destiny of Yan Country.

This is the final gift left to Yan Country by the Old Celestial Master.

The evil dragon vein was resealed, and the commotion was so great that even everyone in the Bureau felt the violent tremors coming from the ground, accompanied by the muffled sounds of rock strata fracturing, as gravel poured down like a rainstorm.

Many buildings of the Bureau were smashed to pieces by the falling gravel.

Many people lay on the ground, motionless.

"Quick, quickly go to the Banan Suo!"

"Activate the defenses, activate the defenses, report to the Director immediately."

"Where is the Director, why can't we get in touch?"

"Are you crazy? Now is the time for the Director's closed-door cultivation; you'd better find the Deputy Director."

"Why can't we contact the Deputy Director either? How have the high-level officials of the Bureau collectively disappeared?"

"Oh no, the gravel is falling in that direction; that is the cage where the Umbrella Woman is imprisoned."

The entire Bureau became extremely chaotic.

The ground cracked open, forming a mouth of the Abyss, and many people who could not stand steadily fell into the fissures in the ground, instantly falling silent.

"Help, help, can someone save me?"

Many people screamed as they fell into the fissures, mercilessly swallowed by the Abyss.

An old man with a body full of muscles and gray hair suddenly appeared here.

He looked around with a solemn face, grabbed his companion who was about to fall with a backhand, his forearm veins bulging, and hauled the person up in one go.

Behind him was a golden fox wearing Daoist robes, holding a long sword that shimmered with flowing light.

"Be careful, Sword Immortal Fox, release the Ten Thousand Sword Art."

"Everyone, hold tightly onto the Sword Immortal Fox's sword, do not fall into the fissures."

The old man shouted loudly, an anxious expression appearing on his face.

"It's the Deputy Director, the Deputy Director is here."

"We are saved."

"Oh no, the Ghost Bride has appeared."

Piercing screams came from the distance; it seems many people have already met with disaster.

This earthquake caused many Indescribable Objects to rush out of their storage boxes.

"Found you, my husband."

A silver-bell-like laugh came from the side, and the old man only felt a cold aura sink into his body; his vision suddenly went dark.

His sight was stripped away, and at this moment he was like a blind man, but the old man stood where he was, motionless.

A wisp of fragrant wind carrying a faint stench of corpses struck, and a bewitching voice echoed in the old man's ears: "My husband, am I beautiful?"

From the perspective of others, a pair of slender, jade-like hands, somewhat blue and purple, blocked the old man's eyes.

Under the blood-colored bridal veil, half a face as white and lustrous as jade was revealed, raven-black hair hung to her waist, pale fingertips were wrapped in faded red silk, her hands were covered in ten-centimeter red Lijua, and on the red cloth shoes on her feet, a string of bells was attached.

The scarlet wedding dress shimmered with a pale blue ghostly light, and blue-purple tattoos appeared on her pale skin.

A breeze blew gently across the veil, revealing the Ghost Bride's lovely face, except her skin tone was iron-blue, and blood seeped from the corners of her eyes, looking quite Weird.

The Ghost Bride, an Indescribable Object stored by the Bureau, ranked tenth, skilled in using Ghost-Covering-Eyes to block the vision of humans or Exotic Beasts.

She would lure humans and Exotic Beasts step by step into her ghost sedan.

Once a human enters the ghost sedan, their entire life force will be stripped away, turning them into a withered skeleton.

If she truly encounters a suitable marriage partner, the Ghost Bride will sign a Nether Contract, hold a ghost wedding, and use a special method to marry the Pet Beast Master, escorting him on his journey.

This is also another type of contract that can be achieved without a Contract Slot, but the conditions for signing a Nether Contract are quite harsh; not only must the birth dates match, but one must also find the Ghost Bride's lost head ornaments.

A sixteen-bearer ghost sedan appeared in the mist, flickering in and out of existence, accompanied by the voices of many bewitching women.

The sedan body was entirely blood-red, and the decaying locust wood sedan cabin was covered in claw marks of varying depths, with scarlet blood stains seeping from every crack.

The red lanterns hanging at the four corners emitted a ghostly blue light, the color on the lanterns was as bright red as fresh blood, and every so often, a few drops of blood dripped from the bottom of the lanterns.

The octagonal copper bells hanging on the handles of the ghost sedan were covered in rust, and as they swayed with the cold wind, they made a clanging sound.

The ghost sedan was brightly lit, and the sounds of women playing could be heard from time to time.

There was more than one Ghost Bride; many people were suddenly blinded by a pair of pale hands, dragged into the decaying ghost sedan, and fell silent after a short while.

Those humans snatched away by the Ghost Bride also let out piercing screams.

Not long after, fresh blood gradually seeped out from the curtains of the ghost sedan, gradually being absorbed by the ghost sedan.

After swallowing the fresh blood, the color of the ghost sedan became even more scarlet.

"Everyone stay away from me, do not get close to me, lest you be targeted by the Ghost Bride."

"Sword Immortal Fox, Demon-Breaking Sword."

Golden patterns appeared on the body of the immortal sword held by the Sword Immortal Fox.

It held the immortal sword in its mouth and stabbed at the Ghost Bride who was blocking the old man from a very tricky angle.

The Ghost Bride was caught off guard, the immortal sword pierced directly through her chest, and she let out a sharp, piercing howl.

Black Qi emerged from the location of the wound.

Hearing only a 'hiss' sound, the Ghost Bride exploded like a deflating balloon.

Countless blood-red rags floated in the air, emitting bursts of foul odor.

At this moment, the old man regained his vision.

The abilities of Indescribable Objects are like those of conceptual gods; they must abide by certain rules.

When the Ghost Bride's hands cover a person's eyes, no matter how powerful the human is, they will instantly fall into the risk of blindness.

At this time, one only needs to attack the Ghost Bride and defeat her completely to break this rule.

At this moment, the Ghost Bride and the ghost sedan chair both vanished one after another.

"Deputy Director Baiming."

"The sudden, violent earthquake just now has caused many Indescribable Objects in the Bureau to escape from their containment units."

"Currently, Director Zhishen is still in seclusion, and we have not been able to contact the other deputy directors; please provide instructions."

Baiming frowned; he had always been neutral, which was why he was ostracized and nearly became a marginalized figure.

He had no direct subordinates in the Bureau, and if it weren't for his overwhelming strength and his refusal to interfere in the decisions of other high-level officials, Baiming would have been transferred out of the Bureau long ago.

If not for this violent earthquake, he would not have emerged from his place of seclusion.

As it turned out, he had come out, but not a single other high-level official was to be seen; this was simply preposterous.

It would be one thing if they were just inattentive to their work, but at this critical moment, not a single person could be found.

What on earth are those high-level officials thinking about all day long, Baiming secretly grumbled to himself.

"Forget about the building damage for now; first, send people out to contain the Indescribable Objects."

"Otherwise, more people will be harmed by the Indescribable Objects."

"Now, give me a count of how many Indescribable Objects have escaped and what types they are."

"At the same time, have everyone near the Ten-Fold Rashomon take protective measures; if you encounter an Indescribable Object, move to apprehend it immediately."

The Indescribable Objects contained by the Bureau all have corresponding weaknesses; as long as one recognizes the target, one can use the corresponding item to contain the Indescribable Object.

"Reporting to Deputy Director Baiming, the Ghost Bride and the ghost sedan chair have both vanished one after another."

"This type of Indescribable Object has a very, very high danger level; please provide immediate instructions to contain it again."

Baiming furrowed his brows, and the fresh bloodstain on his neck was seeping blood, soaking into his collar and staining the white fabric.

His eyes, however, were like quenched obsidian, scanning his surroundings; finally, his gaze locked onto the spiderweb-like cracks on the dome, where residual Yin energy still remained.

The Ghost Bride and the ghost sedan chair must have escaped through here.

"I already know the whereabouts of the Ghost Bride and the ghost sedan chair; I will go and contain them myself."

"You all contact the other high-level officials of the Bureau immediately."

"Sword Immortal Fox, smash through that rock wall; we are giving chase."

At the shattered meditation room.

Zhishen Dashi was panting heavily.

He had already transformed back into his human form.

Dahui appeared by Ye Bai's side, holding the Thunder Axe and clad in thunder armor.

"Damn it, how can you have so many Tier 7 Pet Beasts?"

Watching the Clones of the Myriad-Change Butterfly fluttering all over the sky, Zhishen Dashi felt he had been a bit careless; he shouldn't have unleashed the Immovable Wisdom King Statue so quickly, as he could have had a chance to break the Barrier and escape if he hadn't.

As long as he escaped the Barrier, his direct subordinates would naturally take action.

"Strange, such a huge commotion was made here, why hasn't the Evil God Lord taken action?"

Zhishen Dashi felt it was extremely odd.

This was the territory of the Evil God statue; although the Evil God Lord only had a sliver of consciousness at this time, they had made such a huge commotion, yet the Evil God statue hadn't reacted at all—this didn't make sense.

Could something have happened to the Evil God statue?

A sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart; to verify his guess, Zhishen Dashi bolted, rushing all the way to the place where the Evil God statue was originally kept.

It was gone; that intimidating divine might was gone.

Zhishen Dashi saw the statue split into two halves, and his heart instantly turned cold.

The Evil God statue was one of Zhishen Dashi's greatest assets.

It was also his trump card for opposing the Twenty-Eight Mansions, yet he had been fighting the Twenty-Eight Mansions to the death.

His greatest backer, cultivation treasure, and support had just suddenly kicked the bucket.

This was just too unbelievable.

Especially when the Evil God was parasitizing his body, his Ten Dragons Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Art and Immovable Wisdom King Statue had both progressed by leaps and bounds.

Now that the cultivation treasure was gone, Zhishen Dashi didn't know what to do.

The things he had done were enough to warrant execution a hundred times over to vent the public's anger.

The sound of wings flapping came from behind him.

"Myriad-Change Butterfly, Holy Light shine."

A blinding, intense light shone from behind, dispelling the darkness of the secret chamber.

Ye Bai leaned down, looking at Zhishen Dashi, who was trembling all over.

"It's all your fault; if it weren't for you, how could the Evil God statue have shattered?"

"I want you to die here; I will cast your Soul into the fires of Hell to be burned."

"Human, do not underestimate me."

Zhishen Dashi roared coldly.

At this moment, he once again manifested the Immovable Wisdom King Statue.

It was just that the heads of the Immovable Wisdom King Statue representing joy and sorrow had been forcibly blown apart, and even the six thick arms now only had three remaining.

Zhishen Dashi pushed off with his feet, swung his fist, and threw a punch in the direction of the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly raised an eyebrow; oh my, this grandson is coming over again.

He couldn't even break through the Giant Rock Butterfly Emperor's defense just now.

What should I transform into this time?

The Myriad-Change Butterfly rolled its eyes.

Got it, let's transform into the Five Elements Holy Butterfly.

As long as I switch attributes fast enough, this guy won't be able to defeat me.

Flames erupted from the Dharma image.

This is the fire of the heart's rage.

Even the three remaining fists were covered by the raging inferno.

This is no ordinary flame, but a fierce punch thrown by Zhishen Dashi after burning his essence, Qi, and spirit, called the Fist of Rage.

Just a moment ago, Zhishen Dashi had already figured out the Giant Rock Butterfly Emperor form of the Myriad Change Butterfly.

As a result, the Myriad Change Butterfly transformed in a flash, turning into the Five Elements Holy Butterfly.

The Fist of Rage struck the Myriad Change Butterfly with menacing momentum, the fire of rage coiling around the Myriad Change Butterfly like a flood dragon, and before long, it let out a miserable, painful cry.

It was absorbed by the Myriad Change Butterfly.

Upon seeing this, a trace of despair appeared in Zhishen Dashi's eyes; his prized finishing move had actually been absorbed by the Myriad Change Butterfly.

At this moment, the True Light Goddess Butterfly descended from the sky, releasing a Holy Light cage that surrounded Zhishen Dashi completely.

At this time, Ye Bai suddenly sensed the aura of the Candle Dragon Spirit.

With a casual wave of his hand, an immortal sword that transcended the mortal world appeared in Ye Bai's hand.

The Yin-Yang Carp coiled around the immortal sword once again, transforming into a sword tassel.

【Name: Candle Dragon God (Evolving)】

After absorbing the Yin Carp, the Yang Carp, sixty-four Ten Thousand Dragon Slashes, and one Taiji Yin-Yang Sword, and severing a part of the Evil Dragon Vein's body, it is evolving in the direction of the Candle Dragon God.】

Ah, what did the Candle Dragon Spirit just do? It hasn't even been an hour, and it already absorbed it.

Ye Bai shrank his neck.

After all, this is the Bureau, and there are certainly many difficult-to-deal-with indescribable entities.

"It's you!"

"You are the one who played tricks!"

Sensing the aura of the Evil Dragon Vein on the Candle Dragon God, the eyes turned red instantly.

"No wonder the statue of the Evil God Lord cracked; it must have been slashed by you."

At this moment, Zhishen Dashi was exceptionally furious, but amidst his anger, he also felt a sense of sorrow.

His greatest backing was gone.
