Chapter 125
Before long.
One saw a massive figure standing imposingly in the main hall, her head almost touching the rafters, her wedding dress as bright red as blood.
The enormous fabric looked as if several wide curtains had been sewn together and cut into clothing...
Her stature was fully three zhang tall, not much different from the Long Ghost at the same table, but her obese stature was far beyond what the slender, bamboo-like Long Ghost could compare to.
Looking from afar, it was almost a small, living mountain of corpses.
A pungent, rotten stench spread violently; with every step she took, the fatty flesh on her body seemed to surge and pile up, rolling layer upon layer.
Her two eyes were squeezed into nothing but thin slits; only by looking closely could one barely distinguish the location of her pupils within that pile of twisting, wriggling flesh.
Song Rupu stood beside Miss Yue like a drowned, molting chick, as if a single moment of negligence would lead to him being easily trampled to death.
The moment her form appeared, it caused the noisy voices of the ghosts to fall into a brief silence.
Even the Big-Headed Ghost, acting as the master of ceremonies, could not help but shiver all over; when he tremblingly picked up the documents, wanting to continue the subsequent ceremony.
Before he could say two sentences, he was impatiently interrupted by Miss Yue's wave.
"Don't spout that useless nonsense; I just asked you to go through the motions, do you really think of yourself as human? Hurry up and read the gift list to this lady immediately!"
Miss Yue's voice was like a great bell:
"Today, in order to fill the bellies of you lonely wandering ghosts, although I first served 'civilized eating', the manor has also bled significantly!
If the sacrificial gifts later are stingy and petty, none of you shall leave; just stay here and be the dry snacks to accompany my wine!"
The ghosts' expressions changed instantly upon hearing this! They fell into a chaotic mess!
"Miss Yue... that was not what you said when you came to invite us!"
In the main hall, a burly Red-Browed Fierce Ghost, after hesitating several times, angrily smashed the lacquer tray in his hand to the ground, wiped his mouth, and said coldly:
"Miss Yue, I respect that you are the offspring of Lord Shanhu and Madam Feihua, which is why I have tolerated you, woman, in the past; your actions today are going too far!"
"How is it going too far?"
Miss Yue was unconcerned.
"When you came to invite everyone, you said the doors were wide open, that we could come and go as we pleased, and eat and drink to our hearts' content! You didn't mention any bullshit sacrificial gifts! That is why everyone was willing to come and support you!"
The Red-Browed Fierce Ghost's expression was unfriendly:
"Are you trying to force a sale now?"
"Hee hee! Are you worthy of managing the affairs of a Heavenly Palace fairy? I am forcing a sale, what are you going to do about it?!"
Miss Yue laughed hideously, her round belly inhaling and exhaling, and she spat out a stream of fishy black smoke that surged and sprayed out, straight as a sharp flying arrow!
Pfft!
With a flash of black light, it crossed a distance of nearly ten zhang in a flash, piercing toward the Red-Browed Fierce Ghost's head; in an instant, there was no way to avoid it.
The Red-Browed Fierce Ghost was terrified, hurriedly forcing the aura around his body, forming seals with his ten fingers, and unleashing a ghost technique that gathered into small, sinister skull shields, blocking in front of his face.
Boom!!!
A series of explosions followed one after another.
Although the black smoke shot from Miss Yue's mouth was sharp and had pierced through three small skull shields, it finally lacked the strength to continue and was defeated before the fourth shield.
With a flicker, it dissipated like light smoke, disintegrating into nothingness.
Only then did the Red-Browed Fierce Ghost feel relieved.
His expression was extremely odd; he was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, leaning forward and backward.
"Damn you, you dead ghost woman! I was almost bluffed by you! Are you trying to learn from your father, Lord Shanhu, and make a fortune? First trick the guests in, then close the door and deal with them slowly?
What a pity, with your meager cultivation, you are still far from being able to compare to your father; don't come out and make a fool of yourself!"
He said disdainfully:
"I was scared out of my wits by Lord Shanhu, which is why I gave you three points of respect; with just this little bit of ability, are you worthy of eating blood-food?!"
Seeing the Red-Browed Fierce Ghost so brave.
The morale of the ghosts was boosted, and they all shouted and clamored.
Even the Emaciation Ghost and the Long Ghost at the same table were dancing with joy, unable to contain their happiness.
This group of ghosts was originally in a state of poverty and despair; the reason they gathered here this time was entirely because of the words Miss Yue had vaguely promised earlier about eating for free.
And now, turning her back on her word like this was undoubtedly taking their lives.
Seeing that the ghosts were all clamoring to cheer him on, the Red-Browed Fierce Ghost became increasingly proud, unable to help but rub his hands together.
And this scene of sinister winds and ghost wails also left Ziying momentarily stunned, her expression extremely ugly.
"Miss, why don't we just forget it? After all, two fists are no match for four hands..."
She cursed Miss Yue's greed and impulsiveness in her heart.
While pretending to be compliant, she tactfully advised:
"Or has Lord Shanhu already sent his family generals? But why didn't I receive any message?"
"I am naturally unloved by my father and mother; where would I get any family generals to come and congratulate me?"
Miss Yue laughed sinisterly, the plump flesh hanging from her cheeks trembling like tofu:
"To deal with this bunch of fence-sitting filth, why would I need two fists? Hammer the leader into submission with one hand, and the rest will naturally obey obediently!"
Seeing that Ziying still intended to speak, she impatiently waved her hand and shouted coldly:
"My appetite has increased in recent years, and I think my cultivation is about to improve; the blood-food left in the human pen is all to be kept for breeding, and cannot be easily wasted!
If I don't find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure, what will I use to feed the nearly one hundred mouths in the manor? Should I cut my own flesh for them to eat? Stop talking nonsense!"
Her voice was as cold as ice; she turned her eyes away, inhaled and exhaled with her belly again, and spat out several more streams of black smoke, which pierced through the air and shot straight toward the proud Red-Browed Fierce Ghost.
And by this time, the Red-Browed Fierce Ghost was already prepared and naturally unafraid.
He simply gouged out one of his eyeballs, held it bloodily in his palm, recited a few incantations silently, and then released a crimson firebird from his palm.
The firebird moved as fast as lightning; with a few flickers, it steadily blocked the incoming black smoke, and with a light peck of its beak, the black smoke instantly dissipated, losing its lethal utility.
Miss Yue's expression sank slightly upon seeing this; she shouted loudly and opened her mouth to spray violently.
In an instant, a hurricane seemed to rise on the flat ground, blowing the ghosts to and fro and sending cups and plates flying into the sky.
At the same time, a great suction force emerged from her mouth, wanting to swallow the crimson firebird transformed from the ghost eye into her belly.
But who would have expected the firebird to move so fast; with a single flap of its wings, it flew high into the sky, avoiding this disaster.
The Red-Browed Fierce Ghost laughed upon seeing this, patted the dust off, climbed up from the ground, and said:
"Miss Yue, out of tricks, aren't you? I still have one more eyeball!"
He laughed proudly:
"You couldn't even take me down immediately with just one ghost; with just this little bit of ability, you dare to come and learn from Lord Shanhu to force a sale?!"
Boom!
And at this moment.
Suddenly!
Miss Yue raised both hands upward!
The Red-Browed Fierce Ghost had only just caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye when a dark purple light streaked across.
His entire body felt intense pain first, then lost all sensation, and his vision plunged into pitch-black darkness.
The ghosts were instantly terrified.
Following that dark purple light, they saw a nine-foot-long precious rope that, after easily shattering the Red-Browed Fierce Ghost's form, flew slowly into the air and landed in Miss Yue's hand.
"Could this be a hundred-refined Yin Dou Rope? How fierce!"
The Emaciation Ghost at the same table shrank his head in panic, hurriedly stopped his filthy language, and muttered in a low voice.
And after the Red-Browed Fierce Ghost died, the ghosts were in a state of panic.
Another large ghost, also with red brows, suddenly flipped the table, wailed and wept, and rushed forward, intending to fight Miss Yue to the death.
But he could not last three rounds before being shattered by that Yin Dou Rope and dying a miserable death.
"That was the second of the Red-Browed Three Ghosts; good, only the eldest is left, and the family of three will be complete..."
The Emaciation Ghost added in a low voice upon seeing this scene.
Just as his voice fell, the eldest of the Red-Browed Three Ghosts rushed out.
Only this time, he did not rush forward to fight to the death.
Instead, he fled, knocking over several ghosts who could not dodge in time along the way, looking extremely disheveled.
Miss Yue did not bother to chase him; she just laughed, shook the Yin Dou Rope, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the air.
With a light touch, it beat the last remaining eldest of the Red-Browed Three Ghosts into pieces; he did not even let out a scream before dying on the spot.
Thus.
In just a few breaths, the Red-Browed Three Ghosts, who were quite famous in the surrounding territory, had all returned to heaven.
The ghosts felt a wave of panic; when Miss Yue's gaze swept over, they all shrank back in fear, falling into a chaotic mess, and quite a few fell to the ground and were trampled heavily.
"Are you convinced? You bunch of beggars, if you are convinced, then obediently offer up your wealth!"
Miss Yue held the Yin Dou Rope and sneered repeatedly:
"You have eaten quite a lot of my stock; if you cannot bring money, then obediently stay here and work for your lives. When you have paid off your debt, then you can leave!"
"Of course, if you don't want to do hard labor..."
She extended her long tongue and licked the corners of her mouth, revealing a charming smile:
"If any of you gentlemen are good-looking, you can also explore the arts of the bedchamber with this lady; as long as you make me satisfied, who knows, this massive family business might even come to take your surname!"
The ghosts instantly let out a chorus of wails that lasted for a long time; only out of fear for that Yin Dou Rope did they not make any more extreme moves on the spot.
But even so, during this process of forcibly demanding wealth, Miss Yue still displayed her power and killed several ghosts who were insincere, chewing them up bit by bit in front of the crowd to shock those who were unconvinced.
Amidst the joyful singing of the gift list by several managers holding paper and pens.
The backdrop was the extremely gloomy expressions of the ghosts, who were heartbroken and despairing.
Chen Hang watched this scene coldly, stroking the "Daojun Fu Yu Mirage Pearl" hidden in his sleeve, and thought to himself:
"The wedding banquet has reached this point, yet no Lord Shanhu has come to congratulate; it seems that this Miss Yue is indeed unloved, which is a fact..."
In this way, with the variable of Lord Shanhu gone, I can act calmly.
Just now, observing the battle between Miss Yue and the so-called Red-Browed Three Ghosts, it was at most at the Foundation Establishment level of orthodox immortal cultivation, not yet reaching the Purple Palace Realm.
The only thing to worry about was the Yin Dou Rope in her hand, which was truly extraordinary; it could be said that a touch meant injury, and a brush meant death.
However, he had the cultivation of the Tai Su Jade Body at the fifth layer of the Mystic Realm, so he did not need to worry too much.
Tong Gaolu of the Rong Kingdom, when he was only at the third layer of the Mystic Realm, already had a physical body harder than gold and iron, causing even the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the Rong clan, who was about to reach the end of his lifespan, to hesitate and be unable to make up his mind to remove him.
The Tai Su Jade Body at the sixth layer of the Mystic Realm could dominate and be invincible among ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators!
The Tai Su Jade Body at the ninth layer of the Mystic Realm was even harder to find an opponent for in the Purple Palace Realm!
As for the Tai Su Jade Body at the third layer of the Primordial Realm, it was the same in the Cave-Mystic Realm...
His current Tai Su Jade Body was still only at the fifth layer of the Mystic Realm.
But because he practiced the "Tai Shi Yuan Zhen", his embryonic breathing could be compared to the true qi of an ordinary Foundation Establishment second-layer cultivator.
Tai Su Jade Body and Qi Cultivation path...
Combining these two, even against ghosts like Miss Yue, he had a stable chance of victory.
And with the help of the "Daojun Fu Yu Mirage Pearl" talisman artifact, even if he killed all the ghosts and demons in this manor, there was a seventy or eighty percent chance.
Seventy or eighty percent.
It was enough for him to take a risk...
Chen Hang's gaze flickered slightly, and he smiled inwardly.
As early as when he first took his seat, he had secretly activated the "Daojun Fu Yu Mirage Pearl" obtained from Yan Jia, creating a damp and hazy water mist that dissolved into the atmosphere.
A few ghosts, like the Emaciation Ghost, had vaguely sensed something unusual but did not pay much attention.
And when Miss Yue suddenly attacked and killed the Red-Browed Three Ghosts, the ghosts, in their terror, were even less inclined to notice this slight dampness.
By this time, the mirage energy had already quietly occupied the bodies of the ghosts.
With just a thought from Chen Hang, he could drag them into a boundless illusion, their consciousness completely sinking.
While he was calculating in his heart, several managers responsible for singing the gift list had already come to Chen Hang's neighboring table, dancing with joy, and began to savagely demand life-buying money from the ghosts there.
The Emaciation Ghost, the Long Ghost, and others were all panicked and at a loss.
The two ghosts' gazes flickered uncertainly; after a few hesitations, they suddenly roared and cast their gazes toward Chen Hang.
"Worthy brother is a Jing Cultivator, right?"
The Emaciation Ghost laughed fiercely, leaning his head over.
"A Jing Cultivator who doesn't eat blood-food?"
The Long Ghost chimed in with a muffled voice.
"Exactly." Chen Hang laughed.
"Jing Cultivators are different from us Zhao Cultivators; they have no fishy or muddy aura, making them excellent dry snacks! Although they cannot compare to human flesh and blood, they are perfect for accompanying wine!"
The Emaciation Ghost licked the corners of his mouth:
"Old brother here is so poor I have to sell my body, and I have no money on me; why doesn't worthy brother give me two legs so I can offer them to Miss Yue?"
"I want worthy brother's two hands, and some tender meat from the waist and abdomen."
The Long Ghost hurriedly snatched the opportunity to speak and added:
"Worthy brother, don't blame me; if you want to blame someone, blame Miss Yue. I don't want to slaughter you either, but I have no other choice!"
The conversation between the two ghosts was not concealed.
Suddenly, countless ghosts looked over sinisterly, their malice self-evident!
"Not only that, I have quite a bit of family wealth."
Under the gaze of countless sinister white pupils, Chen Hang clapped his hands and said indifferently:
"Please allow me to offer the sacrificial gifts for the two of you."
Not only were the Emaciation Ghost and the Long Ghost shocked, but the crowd of ghosts also lost their color.
Even Miss Yue could not help but look over; the moment she saw his brow, she was stunned, and her eyes instantly became heated.
"Is worthy brother telling the truth?"
The Emaciation Ghost jumped up and down, overjoyed.
"Naturally, it is not false..."
Chen Hang said softly:
"The creditor and the debtor are both dead; wouldn't this bad debt naturally be settled?"
Before the Emaciation Ghost and the Long Ghost could figure it out.
He stood up gracefully, waving his sleeves, his clothes as white as snow, like a white crane about to fly in a lotus pond, slowly rippling with fine water patterns, carrying an indescribable elegance and composure.
Surrounded by the ghosts, he smiled, lowered his eyes, raised his hands, and clapped three times lightly.
"Fall! Fall! Fall!"
Chen Hang said.
"What do you mean—"
The Emaciation Ghost did not understand the meaning.
The next moment, he suddenly rolled his eyes and fell straight from the table.
Boom!
Boom!!
All the ghosts fell into a faint, making no other sound, like seedlings after an autumn harvest, falling side by side in bundles!
"You..."
Miss Yue was terrified: "You are a cultivator of the orthodox immortal path?!"
She was stern and fierce, grasping the Yin Dou Rope.
But at the same time, her footing seemed unstable, and her vision blurred slightly.
