Chapter 68 : Still Naively Kind
Chu Sang stealthily followed, finally getting a clear view of the man's face.
Silver hair, purple eyes, slender in white robes, floating about like a ghost in the dead of night... Wasn't this her Second Senior Brother who said he was going to venture out alone?
So his venture led him to the ghost city?
Chu Sang was mentally exhausted.
It seemed his second personality had emerged again. She didn't dare act rashly and continued to follow.
Ling Yu walked a few more miles and encountered a quasi-Ghost King. The usually arrogant quasi-Ghost King was terrified at the sight of the man and turned to flee, but was firmly gripped by the throat by an invisible ghostly hand in the air, suspended midair.
Before it could struggle free, the man's raised hand suddenly exerted force, and the quasi-Ghost King burst into a large mass of black energy.
This time, the black energy couldn't escape but was entirely absorbed by the man, converted for his own use.
The ghost energy around him noticeably intensified.
Chu Sang felt something was amiss. Could the so-called Ghost King of the ghost city be Second Senior Brother?
If she hadn't guessed wrong, if Ghost Second Senior Brother truly became the Ghost King, he would have complete control over this body—
Then Second Senior Brother might never return!
Fortunately, she had planned ahead and captured all the quasi-Ghost Kings in the city. Even if Ghost Second Senior Brother wanted to break through by devouring ghost energy, he wouldn't have enough materials for the breakthrough.
Just as she was about to continue following to see if there were any accomplices, the man in her view suddenly disappeared. Her expression immediately changed, and she almost instantly threw out a Golden Armor Talisman behind her.
The two forces collided, sending Chu Sang flying several meters. She deftly drew a long sword and thrust it into the ground, barely stabilizing herself.
"You again." Ghost Second Senior Brother approached with graceful steps, his handsome face cold without a trace of a smile. He clearly remembered how this person had severely tricked him last time with honeyed words.
"Hi, Second Senior Brother, long time no see. Why so fierce?" Chu Sang inconspicuously wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, her heart sinking slightly.
After devouring several quasi-Ghost Kings, the ghost energy around Ghost Second Senior Brother was clearly stronger than last time.
Her mind quickly calculated their exchanges—what were her chances of survival?
The man, having learned from the previous experience, couldn't be bothered to waste words with her. He condensed a mass of dense ghost energy in his hand, and just as he was about to unleash a killing blow, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
He couldn't use ghost energy anymore.
He narrowed his eyes, coldly staring at the young woman who had entered the domain with him. "...Domain?"
So apart from being clever, she did have some ability.
"You think this little domain can trap me for long?"
"A moment is enough."
Chu Sang had formed an equal contract with Xiao Bai, and when the domain was attacked, she also tasted blood in her throat. Given Xiao Bai's limited strength, it could at most trap the opponent for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Her hand moved towards her spatial pouch.
Ling Yu moved swiftly to her front, gripping her wrist. "Want to pull out those unorthodox talismans of yours again?" He sneered, "You think the same trick will work on me twice?"
"You're right, so I plan to..." She raised her face with a smile, sweetly grinning, "try a different trick."
Ling Yu was first stunned, then his expression suddenly changed. He saw a spiritual energy talisman that she had secretly hidden in her palm at some point, giving her the opportunity for close contact when he gripped her wrist.
Then, the spiritual talisman was instantly struck into his body.
"......" He realized, feeling his sea of consciousness sink, looking at the young woman before him in disbelief.
She had tricked him again.
Chu Sang smiled, meeting the man's cold, dangerous gaze, prying open his fingers one by one. "Bye-bye again, Ghost Second Senior Brother."
It was too busy today, finally squeezed out a bit at the last minute.
