Chapter 1640: Heaven's Mandate Seven Children Monster Hunting Record 31

Four people grabbed the letter and sprinted down the corridor.

Mainly, the three senior brothers and sisters grabbed Jin Chen and ran.

"Why are we running?" I'm not unable to beat them!

Jin Chen was baffled, but his arm was pulled by Gong Shiyue, dragging him and the letter flying together.

Yang Yu: "To be honest, I don't know either……"

Jing Xingcan pulled Yang Yu, "Second senior brother, stop asking! We have a plan!"

Gong Shiyue: "We're not running, we're luring him into the formation! Xiao Wu is waiting outside……."

Before the words finished, a red shadow blocked the end of the corridor.

The four suddenly stopped; one side was the shopkeeper Mo Dongjing, no longer disguising and obviously stronger than other ghosts, the other side was a bride ghost with a grim expression.

"Who is this ghost? A strange face." Yang Yu glanced a few times.

Jin Chen squinted, thought, then stuffed the letter into Yang Yu's chest, saying: "Probably the main character of tomorrow's wedding feast."

Gong Shiyue whipped out her lash, hearing this she only snapped: "Move aside."

The female ghost, slightly wary, lifted her eyes brimming with blood and tears, locking gazes with Youyou and Mo Dongjing at the other end of the corridor, then slowly faded into the wall.

But by then Mo Dongjing had already caught up.

"Too late!"

Yang Yu took the lead, covering their retreat, but seriously underestimated the fierce ghost's strength; their spiritual energy seemed utterly feeble.

So far, Mo Dongjing is the strongest fierce ghost they've encountered in their cultivation.

Yang Yu's expression grew graver; ghostly qi entered his body, leaving him icy and numb, yet he strained to shield his junior brothers and sisters behind him, unaware his face was turning bluish.

They fought while retreating, but couldn't leave the short corridor they'd come from, let alone reach the spot where Xu Qie had set up the formation.

"No need to run." Jin Chen stopped, growing impatient.

"Ghost Wall—if we don't kill this fierce ghost, we can't get out."

"Can we… beat it?" Jing Xingcan also got injured, his situation no better than Yang Yu's.

"We can." Jin Chen said, rolled up his sleeves, and charged forward.

Immediately, the forced‑stop Yang Yu and the others watched wide‑eyed what "we can beat it" meant—and it was more like slamming the ghost to the ground and hammering it.

Mo Dongjing must have been an honest, simple person in life; as a fierce ghost he didn't know how to adapt, stubbornly refusing to stop until killed, his head nearly knocked off by Jin Chen's blows, blood spurting out lavishly.

The three senior brothers and sisters: "……"

Yang Yu rubbed his icy, bluish face, then after a moment found his voice: "Xiao Chen… how…" he had become so strong.

Gong Shiyue and Jing Xingcan shook their heads in unison, both stunned.

Jing Xingcan tried to guess: "Could it be that he and the senior brother found some… dual‑cultivation technique?"

Jin Chen had no mind to argue, only wanting a quick finish, but in the Ghost Domain every change was under control; his forward punch met empty air, only to see black mist spreading behind the pillar—Mo Dongjing had vanished.

The black mist seemed wary and did not rush forward.

Jin Chen slowly lowered his hand, watching them disappear; the Ghost Domain has rules for fierce ghosts—though he couldn't kill it outright, he confirmed his earlier suspicion.

The beggar woman stayed beside them.

But it wasn't Mo Ranmei; they'd need to confirm again after dawn.

Jin Chen turned; the Ghost Wall was also broken, and they were already close to the room.

Yang Yu wore a look of astonishment, as if Jin Chen had secretly studied their techniques for ten extra years behind their backs.

Jin Chen's gaze swept past him and landed on the jade pendant that had fallen from the wall.

It was the bride ghost's, similar to the jade pendant given by Chi Zhu; it seems they will indeed witness her death again at dusk tomorrow.

Jin Chen shared his guesses and current clues with the three, and Gong Shiyue asked: "Does that mean we can leave after we've been through this?"

"Not necessarily," Yang Yu shook his head, "since the beggar women and Mo Dongjing are controlled as a pair, judging by that force, perhaps they never intended to let us leave alive."

"Let's talk tomorrow," Jin Chen yawned, heading to the room, "we've gathered enough clues."

At worst, kill the beggar women and Mo Dongjing together, and we'll surely get out.

Also, I don't know whether Min Dongcheng has any trace of the Myriad Ghost Heart.

Only by obtaining the Myriad Ghost Heart can we put an end to this world's proliferating anomalies.

Oh right, we also need to find the lost fragments of primal power.

Jin Chen idly thought about it.

【It's really hard for you to still remember.】

Yang Yu tidied the letters, then he and Gong Shiyue each returned to their rooms.

Jin Chen was about to push open his door when he suddenly took interest in Bai Shiyun and Chang Wuming's rooms, thinking of a way to make Chang Wuming give up.

It was exactly Rong Zixu's nightmare from yesterday that gave him the idea.

【Zero Egg, can you make Chang Wuming experience the original plot in his dream?】

【Yes! 500 points, non‑refundable, non‑exchangeable.】

【Tsk, rather pricey.】

【This is a heavyweight item, practically a mission‑cheat godhand! The shop sells it in limited quantities! If you weren't high‑level, you couldn't buy it～】

Jin Chen thought the same; if the ending hadn't been a total party wipe‑out so tragic, it wouldn't be worth using.

Inside the room.

Bai Shiyun again woke from a strange dream, his body exhausted but his spirit full.

After sitting up, his eyes burned with fervor, and he instinctively gripped that jade pendant, feeling something.

Since receiving the blue pearl from a sudden beggar woman, Bai Shiyun became obsessed with the ability to control people's hearts.

And in the dream, everything was exactly to his liking.

Bai Shiyun looked toward Chang Wuming, who was sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor; as he raised his hand, he heard a sound outside the window, thinking it was a vengeful ghost causing trouble, but when he looked in fear, he unexpectedly came face‑to‑face with Jin Chen.

Assuming everyone was asleep and about to do something mischievous, Jin Chen halted his movement and silently shut the window.

Bai Shiyun: "……"

A few moments later, the window opened a crack again.

【Nightmare Traceback exchange complete, 500 points deducted!】

A faint golden light, barely noticeable, shot into Chang Wuming's brow, perfectly blocking Bai Shiyun's attempt to control him again.

Jin Chen observed for a while, seeing Bai Shiyun treating that jade pendant like a treasure, and felt a bit curious.

The protagonist is hurt and still has a cheat? Tomorrow I'll go snatch it to take a look.

Jin Chen finally returned to the room, tip‑toeing off the outer robe stained with ghostly energy, and only relaxed when he saw Rong Zixu hadn't been woken.

Just as he lay down, Jin Chen moved over, pulled the person into his arms and gave a kiss; Rong Zixu seemed to sense something, his eyelids twitched, he vaguely heard a few soft murmurs, and his feeling of safe sleep washed over him again.
