The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 275 : Long Time No See

"......"

How could he not be sarcastic? The Buddha's son was originally sent to the Buddha Sect by his imperial father and mother to atone for sins, carrying some of that innate arrogance of worldly royalty. It's just that he hadn't usually encountered anyone with better talent than himself, so it hadn't been revealed.

Chu Sang's appearance had dealt a heavy blow to his psyche, leaving him thoroughly unbalanced—the Buddha Sect's treasure not choosing him was tantamount to admitting he wasn't worthy of being the most suitable Buddha's son, wasn't it?

Their sect's senior disciple was so agitated by her that he wanted to return to secular life.

"Tsk, I understand. He must be jealous of me, jealous that I used it better than him."

Chu Sang sighed deeply, full of understanding, "It's not his fault, it's because I'm too excellent. Being envied by others is normal."

The Buddha Sect disciples were completely speechless. Wouldn't normal people first reflect on whether they had done something wrong to offend others when faced with sarcasm? But she was good, immediately countering with a big pot of "his mental health isn't right," and even turning it around to accuse others of being jealous of her??!

Fine, fine, if that's how she wants to play it. As long as she angers everyone to death, she'll be the happiest.

After being tricked like this, the number of vengeful ghosts rapidly decreased. The entire valley was filled with the screams of fierce ghosts. Tantai Ming casually slew a malevolent ghost that had lost its sanity, his gaze shifting slightly forward. Among a large group of out-of-control, struggling, irrational evil ghosts left with only killing instincts, there was one weak vengeful ghost sneaking about, finding an inconspicuous secret passage, trying to escape in the chaos.

Oh? His gaze flickered with curiosity. How was this vengeful ghost so different?

Before the vengeful ghost could run, Tantai Ming flew over and grabbed it, pressing it to the ground, "Little Junior Sister, look what interesting thing I've caught?"

"Ah ah ah ah, you're the interesting thing, despicable human cultivator, let me go quickly!"

"Hey hey, this vengeful ghost is of low level, yet it can still speak. Other vengeful ghosts don't have a shred of rationality, how are you so different? Could it be a new mutated species?" Tantai Ming's interest grew. He lifted the little ghost up, examining it closely, even considering slicing it in half with his sword to study it thoroughly.

Chu Sang was also attracted by the commotion. Seeing that the Buddhist cultivators had things under control, she came over to examine this vengeful soul that was cursing their ancestors to the eighteenth generation. Most vengeful ghosts are formed from resentment, basically without any rationality to speak of. Yet this weak vengeful ghost before them, though not powerful, hadn't lost its human rationality—this could be said to be extremely rare.

It just so happened that she wanted to find a vengeful ghost to have a friendly chat with, to lead them away from this wretched place to the real ghost gate rift. However, the vengeful ghosts had no ability to communicate. Finding one that could communicate normally was a good thing.

"Let me ask you something. Where is the ghost gate rift? If you lead us there, we'll let you go. How about that?" Chu Sang initially planned to negotiate kindly.

"......What ghost gate rift? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything. Let me go!" The vengeful ghost stared at the two of them fearfully and warily, but with Tantai Ming controlling it, there was no way to escape.

Seeing that the two were determined to get something out of his mouth, otherwise they absolutely wouldn't let him leave, the weak vengeful ghost's eyes rolled slightly. After several rounds of intense questioning, he relented and said, "If I take you to the ghost gate, will you really let me go and not kill me?"

"Of course. We cultivators from the cultivation world aren't those despicable and unreliable villains. We keep our word and will definitely let you go," Tantai Ming patted his chest, guaranteeing.

"Alright then, I'll tell you. You can't find the ghost gate by ordinary means, otherwise the ghost realm forces would have sent people to find it long ago. Only through a specific secret passage can one reach the ghost gate."

"Where is the secret passage?"

"Come closer, I'll tell you."

Tantai Ming, completely off guard, really leaned in to hear the details. Unexpectedly, the weak vengeful ghost directly spat out a large mouthful of black-purple ghost qi. He was choked and stumbled back several steps, his face turning blue. He quickly circulated his spiritual energy to expel the residual ghost qi from his body before regaining his ability to move.

Meanwhile, that crafty weak vengeful ghost had long since fled.

The puppy stomped his feet in agitation, "Ah ah ah ah, this guy is too cunning, how dare he trick me!"

Chu Sang sighed. This Seventh Senior Brother really was a husky that didn't guard against anyone. But it was fine; she had been prepared.

She raised her hand, and a faint white light could be seen flashing from her right middle finger. It was a specially made silk thread for tracking, crafted by mixing Hong Niang's silk with divine sense to create a tracking magical tool. This thread had excellent extensibility—not to say it was endless, but at least several dozen kilometers wouldn't be a problem... As long as they followed the direction in which the weak vengeful ghost fled, they would very likely be able to track the ghost gate.

Tantai Ming's face showed he had learned something. Indeed, they still had to rely on Little Junior Sister! Little Junior Sister was really too insidious and cunning!

If Chu Sang could hear his thoughts, she'd give him a good hammer blow. Is "insidious and cunning" a compliment?

The weak vengeful ghost was very clever and cautious. A large group of people would easily expose their target. Chu Sang thought for a moment and suggested that most people continue to stay in the valley to clear the nearby vengeful ghosts while she followed to see where the vengeful ghost was trying to go.

Tantai Ming, worried about her safety alone, also wanted to follow, but was mercilessly rejected by Chu Sang, who said his realm wasn't as high as hers and would only slow her down if he followed.

These words thoroughly broke Tantai Ming's heart. Being at late Nascent Soul stage in his early twenties was already considered very impressive in the entire cultivation world! But Little Junior Sister was too abnormally talented. His cultivation speed, which would be considered a genius among geniuses among normal people, was still a step behind Little Junior Sister, and he still hadn't reached the Divine Transformation bottleneck.

Tantai Ming inwardly made a firm resolution to break through to Divine Transformation as soon as possible. As a senior brother, he absolutely couldn't be looked down upon by Little Junior Sister!!!

"Seventh Senior Brother, you stay here to help. I'll go alone."

They didn't bring many disciples this time, with nearly half being Buddhist cultivators. There were relatively few cultivators specializing in offensive power. Tantai Ming, as a sword cultivator, played an indispensable role in the team. Staying behind to engage in bloody battles with the vengeful ghosts was the most suitable way of tempering for sword cultivators.

"The vengeful ghosts near the ghost gate are difficult to attract completely. There must still be a large number of vengeful ghosts remaining there. Be extremely careful... You probably can't handle so many vengeful ghosts alone. Take this with you. When the time comes, place it in the rift to close the ghost gate rift." Dong Liyan handed her an object.

"What is this?"

"This is the Pagoda Lock," Dong Liyan explained. "It's one of the Buddha Sect's great sacred objects. The elders of the Buddha Sect brought the Pagoda Lock on this journey, specifically to close the ghost gate rift. As long as you place the Pagoda inside the ghost gate rift, it can completely close it."

"Alright, I understand."

Time waits for no one. Chu Sang quickly applied a ghost qi talisman to herself and stealthily followed in that direction.

That weak vengeful ghost was extremely cautious the whole way, constantly looking around. Chu Sang didn't dare get too close to it. The deeper they went, the denser the surrounding ghost qi became, almost making it difficult to breathe. The sky also grew darker, and many pale blue ghost fires appeared around them. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be many floating ghost souls. The ghost souls floated in the air like inanimate objects, not actively attacking people. Looking down from above, they seemed like thousands of fireflies scattered in the forest, revealing a hint of eerie beauty.

Bang—

Chu Sang's foot seemed to trip over something. She stepped back, and the deathly silent atmosphere around her suddenly changed. The ghost souls all awakened, looking in her direction.

The vengeful ghost walking in front suddenly realized and turned back to look, discovering Chu Sang who had accidentally triggered a secret technique. Someone had secretly followed?! His face twisted for a moment, then he coldly smiled, "Daring to secretly follow, be prepared to die."

The awakened vengeful ghosts swarmed up. Chu Sang's brows furrowed, but she wasn't flustered. She summoned the little ghost king. As soon as the pressure of the Divine Transformation stage ghost king emerged, the low-level vengeful ghosts immediately froze in place, unable to take another step forward.

The vengeful ghosts had no consciousness or ability to think, but they had an instinctive fear of powerful ghosts and didn't dare to rashly take another step forward. Several high-level vengeful ghosts around the Divine Transformation stage disregarded everything and pounced forward to fight. Chu Sang stepped back slightly and said, "I'll leave this to you. No problem, right?"

"Don't worry, sister. Leave it to me. I absolutely won't let a single ghost escape!"

The little ghost licked its lips excitedly, its eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty red light. What followed was an obvious slaughter. Not only the low-level vengeful ghosts, but even those few high-level Divine Transformation stage ghost cultivators couldn't escape the little ghost's one-sided massacre. They were all swallowed in one breath.

The little ghost's previous form was a Unity stage great ghost. Dealing with these small fry was child's play.

How... how is this possible??

The weak vengeful ghost's face suddenly changed. He hadn't expected this person to have such a formidable little ghost by her side. It was simply a traitor to the ghost realm!

To avoid meeting the same miserable fate as those vengeful ghosts, seeing the situation was unfavorable, he turned tail and ran.

This time, Chu Sang didn't give him a chance to escape. The Demon-Locking Pagoda enlarged and fell from the sky. Its terrifying pressure rendered the weak vengeful ghost immobile, firmly trapped inside the pagoda with no way to escape.

Chu Sang dusted off her hands and walked over, "Still want to run?"

"Ah ah ah, what do you despicable human cultivators want? I've never provoked you. You're the ones who invaded the ghost realm. Those attacking you are the irrational vengeful ghosts. I haven't done anything against you from start to finish. Why are you relentlessly pursuing me!" he cried out in breakdown.

"As you say, we human cultivators are all a bunch of despicable villains. What's the point of reasoning with us? For a nameless little ghost like you, I'll catch you if I want to, kill you if I want to. Do I need a reason?"

Her words successfully silenced the vengeful ghost.

Didn't these human cultivators claim to be the light of righteousness? She just admitted it so directly?? They really have no shame at all!!

"I'll ask you one more time, where exactly is the secret passage to the ghost gate?" Considering this vengeful ghost's many tricks, the secret passage he mentioned earlier might not necessarily be true. Chu Sang changed her approach, "Or you can directly take me to the ghost gate. Don't try any tricks. See this spirit thread on you? I only need to move my finger, and I can make you completely perish in body and soul, not even leaving a trace of ghost qi."

"I... I don't know, I really don't know. I've said many times, I don't know what ghost gate you're talking about!"

Still playing dumb even at death's door.

Ordinary vengeful ghosts don't have so many tricks. If she weren't in the ghost realm now, she'd really suspect this ghost was a human in disguise.

"In that case, you're of no use anymore."

She said softly, "By the way, have you heard of a saying in our cultivation world? Useless things have no value in living."

"Little pagoda, refine it."

The temperature inside the pagoda rose dramatically, almost melting the entire ghost and reducing it to ashes. An unprecedented great fear rose in the vengeful ghost's heart. When it finally couldn't hold on any longer, it began to scream and beg for mercy, "Don't kill me, I know, I know where the ghost gate is. As long as you let me go, I'll take you there. Really, I absolutely won't deceive you!"

"I hope you're telling the truth this time. After all, I hate being deceived again and again, even if it's a ghost." Chu Sang very readily released him.

The vengeful ghost collapsed to the ground, only shakily getting up after a while, his face full of panic. Opposite him was the little ghost king coldly staring at him, its eyes showing undisguised hunger. He shrank back two more steps.

This time, the vengeful ghost didn't dare to play any tricks and honestly led Chu Sang to the ghost gate.

There was no secret passage to the ghost gate, but they indeed didn't take the ordinary route. To confuse the line of sight, someone had deliberately carved out and filled in several different spaces in one area. The ghost wall they encountered earlier in the valley seemed to be this person's handiwork as well.

Logically, the number of vengeful ghosts gathered at the ghost gate should be mind-bogglingly large. However, thanks to her earlier dispersal of many vengeful ghosts, although the ghosts remaining at the ghost gate weren't few, they were far fewer than imagined.

With the help of the ghost qi talisman and the little ghost king, finding a weakly guarded spot to break through wasn't a difficult task. Chu Sang finally approached the legendary ghost gate. The ghost gate was closed, but a very deep rift had appeared on the gate, continuously releasing vengeful ghosts.

It was clearly an artificial rift.

She held Xuanling in its transformed state and thrust it into the rift. After briefly blocking the exit for vengeful ghosts, she successfully placed the Pagoda Lock into the ghost gate rift.

Things progressed more easily than imagined.

Some vengeful ghosts sensed the disturbance and discovered her, this fish that had slipped through the net. They howled and bit at her again—

The ghost gate rift rapidly shrank, and a powerful vortex began to suck back in reverse, pulling back the vengeful ghosts that shouldn't have appeared here into the ghost gate.

Just as the rift was about to close, a sudden force unexpectedly attacked her. Chu Sang's pupils contracted slightly as she swung her sword back, clashing with the attack in mid-air in an explosion. She glanced sideways, looking at the unexpected yet expected arrival, and smiled, "Long time no see."

They really were hiding here. She had guessed correctly.
