Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

32. The Ghosts

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

Disciples of Qingyu Pavilion looked at each other blankly. ‘What are we supposed to do?’

Nan Chen gave them a cold stare; the group of disciples shivered and then fled like frightened birds.

Liu Xia went to Nan Chen and looked at the dark things on the ground. “Senior Brother Nan, what on earth is this?”

“It’s the ghost mother.”

“The ghost mother? What is it?” She had never heard of the name before.

“It existed a hundred thousand years ago. Now there are humans, Demons, Mermaids and Beasts in the Cultivation World. And a hundred thousand years ago, there was another race, the Ghosts.”

“The Ghosts? Senior Brother Nan, are ghost cultivators really dead humans?” If that was true, would she become a ghost cultivator after death? At the thought of that, Liu Xia got so excited.

“Yes, after the death, a person’s soul will go through the reincarnation, forget the past, and gain rebirth in the world. However, some people want to stay in this world as spirits for various reasons such as hatred, love or kinship, but their spirits must go to hell seven days after death, otherwise their spirits and souls will disperse and vanish.

There is only one way to keep staying in this world, that is, to become a ghost cultivator. Ghost cultivators are divided into ghost sons, ghost mothers, ghost lords, ghost kings, and ghost emperors. When a ghost emperor becomes immortal, it will be a ghost immortal, but it seems that there has never been a ghost cultivator becoming a ghost immortal.

The Ghosts also has a special ability. If a high-rank ghost cultivator engraves their own soul marks on the low-rank ones, then the low-rank ghost cultivators will unconditionally obey the orders of the high-rank. It should be the ghost mother in that box and Luo Zan controlled those ghost cultivators by controlling the ghost mother.”

“Senior Brother Nan, weren’t the Ghosts exterminated a hundred thousand years ago? How did them show up here?”

“I don’t know. This matter still has to be reported to the Sect Leader when we get back.”

‘Anyway, it is none of my business, so let those so-called decent sects worry about it.’

“Let’s go, or we won’t be able to keep up with re-opening of the mystery land.”

“Yes.”

Rustling rustling…

The sound of the leaves crushed came from underneath feet. This forest had a strange aura, and they avoided making any noise, carefully paying attention to the surroundings.

“Be careful.”

When they heard the voice, they turned back fiercely and found a huge serpent. There was a person rolled in the tail of the serpent. It was Wang Mang.

They looked at the serpent again. Its whole body was deep red. Wasn’t it the Red-White Serpent Lord they had met ten days ago?

Lyu Ren and Wang Mang had been walking at the end of the team. And Wang Mang seemed to feel something just now, so he hurriedly pushed Lyu Ren away. When Lyu Ren figured out what had happened, Wang Mang had already been caught in mid-air by the Serpent Lord.

“Damn human, I finally find you. When I eat these unimportant ones, I will enjoy your taste slowly.” The serpent was staring at Nan Chen, licking its upper lip slightly.

“It can speak now!”

“Serpent… Serpent King?”

“S**t, it has evolved again.”

“Fe… female?”

“Hey, isn’t your focus wrong?”

The group of people were very surprised, and they didn’t know what luck this Red-White Serpent King had got. In just ten days, it broke through two stages.

The Red-White Serpent King coiled the tail and sent the man towards its mouth.

Seeing the serpent’s giant mouth approaching, Wang Mang felt sick as paralyzed.

Clang-

Forget All was pulled out and turned it into a silver light, which directly penetrated the forked tongue of the Red-White Serpent King.

The Serpent King was so painful and threw Wang Mang away.

Lyu Ren jumped up and caught Wang Mang in midair.

The Red-White Serpent King shook its head hard, trying to get rid of the sword in its tongue.

Nan Chen took this opportunity to take the group of people to retreat.

“Go quickly!”

Last time, he was able to tie with the injured Red-White Serpent Lord. After accepting the legacy, he was sure to kill the Serpent Lord in its heyday. But this was a Serpent King, which was on par with a cultivator in the Tribulation Passage period. In front of a Serpent King, Nan Chen had only ten percent of assurance to draw a tie with it, but he never did anything that he was not completely confident to win.

Nan Chen told the fellows to go first, and he would guard them.

When they all ran farther away, Nan Chen summoned the sword Forget All back, and threw a jade card towards the Red-White Serpent. It exploded the moment the jade card touched the Red-White Serpent King. The explosion made Nan Chen retreat a few steps, and he ran in the direction of exit.

The explosion was so powerful that shocked the Red-White Serpent King to be dizzy. It shook the head and looked around but didn’t see even a figure.

“Humph, do you think you can escape?”

The Red-White Serpent King sniffed and then chased to a certain direction.
