Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 43: The Sinister Nine Yin Woman, the Bound Spirit in the Sinister Ghost Domain

15th day of the first lunar month.

The Lantern Festival in Maple City.

During the lantern festival, Nie Linglan encountered a man.

The man's name was Ning Haoran, a talented and handsome man widely known in Maple City.

After they met, they quickly fell in love with each other and even had thoughts of spending their lives together.

However,

In this chaotic world where demons and monsters run rampant, Ning Haoran, being a weak scholar, did not have much of a future and was not favored by Nie's family.

Therefore,

A forced marriage plot occurred. The head of the Nie family captured Nie Linglan and locked her up, forbidding her from seeing Ning Haoran again.

At the same time,

He accepted the marriage proposal from the Zhao family and planned to marry Nie Linglan to the eldest son of the Zhao family, a notorious playboy in the city, in order to form an alliance.

After all,

The Zhao family was one of the four major families in Maple City, far surpassing Ning Haoran in terms of connections and wealth.

After several unsuccessful attempts to resist, Nie Linglan finally decided to run away from home and elope with Ning Haoran.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

Just as they arrived at the ferry crossing, about to escape, Ning Haoran chose to betray her and drugged Nie Linglan with a sedative in her tea.

Then,

Ning Haoran personally brought Nie Linglan to the Zhao family, receiving a reward of five hundred taels of silver. In front of Nie Linglan, he bowed and acted subserviently towards the son of the Zhao family.

He claimed that his intention of getting close to Nie Linglan was to marry into the Nie family and enjoy wealth and prosperity.

But now that his plan had failed,

He naturally couldn't offend the Zhao family for Nie Linglan, nor could he leave Maple City with her to live a life of uncertainty and possible death.

After all,

Only carefree young ladies would be infatuated with love and willing to give up everything for it.

Ning Haoran, who had lived in poverty for many years, was much more clear-headed.

Finally,

Betrayed by Ning Haoran himself, Nie Linglan was trapped in the Zhao family and was to be married off on an auspicious day, becoming a sacrifice for the family's alliance.

Originally, Nie Linglan had already lost hope.

She had decided to accept the arranged marriage and repay the family for their years of nurturing. However, the young master of the Zhao family was a reckless person.

He couldn't even wait for a few more days and insisted on defiling Nie Linglan before the wedding ceremony, completely shattering the young girl's mentality.

In the end,

Using the excuse of "bathing and changing clothes" and "serving the husband after cleaning up," Nie Linglan sent the young master of the Zhao family away and put on a red wedding dress, hanging herself in the Zhao residence.

Only then did the Zhao family realize what they had gotten themselves into.

Nie Linglan,

Born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour, with a completely Yin birth chart, and being in Maple City, a place of Yin energy accumulation, she was the one and only Nine Yin Woman.

With such a fate, once she died a violent death, she would become a vengeful ghost.

Moreover,

Nie Linglan had experienced too much before her death: "betrayal," "hatred born from love," "forced marriage by the family," "nearly being violated." The resentment she had at the moment of hanging herself was incredibly strong.

In addition, she hanged herself on the 7th day of the second lunar month, known as the Sinister Nine Yin Woman's Day, at midnight.

As a Nine Yin Woman filled with boundless resentment,

Hanging herself in a red wedding dress on the Sinister Nine Yin Woman's Day and the Yin hour, she almost completely stacked all the buffs she could have.

In the moment Nie Linglan took her last breath, she directly transformed into a vengeful ghost in a red dress, tearing the young master of the Zhao family into pieces, and then controlling the overwhelming resentment to envelop the entire Zhao residence.

That night,

The Zhao residence became a river of blood, and the once powerful and influential family in Maple City perished under the hands of the vengeful ghost.

Feeling the overwhelming malevolent energy, the two disciples of Qingyun and Changfeng, who were responsible for maintaining order in the Daoist sect, immediately flew over on their swords, using all their abilities to try to kill the female ghost.

However,

After Nie Linglan completed the blood sacrifice in the entire Zhao residence, her cultivation had already directly broken through to the Core Formation Stage, far beyond what these two could handle.

The two desperately chanted the "Purifying Heart Mantra," barely awakening a trace of Nie Linglan's consciousness, saving her life from this Transcendent Level vengeful ghost, but she was severely injured.

Moreover,

At this moment, the entire Zhao family, and even the area within a few hundred meters of the Zhao family, had become a ghost domain.

The so-called ghost domain.

It is a Divine Ability that only a few fierce ghosts can comprehend, which allows them to refine a piece of land into their own domain.

In the realm of ghosts, the strength of fierce ghosts will greatly increase.

At the same time, they can freely hide in various places in the ghost realm, making it extremely difficult for cultivators with higher cultivation levels to detect them.

Fierce ghosts who possess their own domain are also known as "Earthbound Spirits," and they are recognized as formidable beings by the Daoist sects.

That is why the Three Purities Immortal Gate attaches great importance to this mission and directly sends three Core Formation Stage disciples from the Sword Lineage to work together.

Li Longhao!

Li Longji!

Li Longyou!

The cultivation levels of the three of them have all reached the Fifth Layer of the Core Formation Stage, and they have cultivated the Sword Lineage's supreme techniques to a high level, making them formidable swordsmen who are difficult to match at the same level.

Even if a Ghost General at the Gold Core stage were to face them, it would not necessarily end well for the Ghost General.

Three days ago, they had already surrounded the Zhao Residence, using their sword formation to continuously dissolve the malevolent energy in the ghost realm and weaken the Earthbound Spirit.

They only needed to wait for four days, until the thirteenth day of the second month.

It was another day of the Three Sisters' malevolent energy, and it was also the seventh day since Nie Linglan's death. At that time, the Yin energy in the ghost realm would surge, and Nie Linglan would definitely appear, absorbing the Yin energy to seek a breakthrough.

At that time, it would be the moment for the Li brothers to kill the fierce ghost.

...

"She is also a pitiful woman."

After listening to the words of Qingyun and Changfeng, Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

However, even though Nie Linglan was pitiful, she had still killed innocent people around the Zhao Residence.

According to the rules of the Daoist sects, she could only be killed.

Since this mission was being carried out by the Li brothers, there shouldn't be any accidents. Wang Xiu didn't plan to join in the excitement.

After all, disciples of the Sword Lineage didn't have a good impression of the Divination Lineage. Among the geniuses who suffered from Luo Binglan's "Bloody Disaster" back then, many of them were now high-ranking members of the Sword Lineage.

Influenced by their masters, disciples of the Sword Lineage never treated Wang Xiu kindly.

They would rather kill Wang Xiu before killing the fierce ghost.

"You two junior brothers risked your lives to fight against the Core Formation Stage Ghost General in order to protect the people in the city. It is truly admirable."

Wang Xiu bowed to Qingyun and Changfeng, expressing his sincere admiration.

"Where, where."

The two Daoists smiled bitterly. "It is thanks to Nie Linglan's compassion and kindness during her lifetime, as well as the accumulation of a lot of merit, that she still retains a trace of mercy and rationality after becoming the Earthbound Spirit of the Nine Yin. Otherwise, with our meager cultivation, we would have long lost our lives at the Zhao Residence."

Swish~

Wang Xiu extended his right hand, and a shimmering light appeared.

Two pure white petals, as white as snow, appeared in his palm, emitting a faint fragrance.

Wang Xiu smiled and said, "These are petals from the Soul-nurturing Lotus. They can heal soul injuries. Your injuries are not serious, but they should be helpful to you."

After speaking, he handed the two petals to them.

Looking at Wang Xiu, who had a sincere expression on his face, and smelling the refreshing fragrance of the flowers, the two Daoists were dumbfounded.

The Soul-nurturing Lotus?

It was said to be a treasure that could heal soul injuries, even Nascent Soul stage Venerables would be tempted and would pay a high price to obtain it.

Such a treasure.

Even if it was just a petal, it was something that they, as low-level disciples, would never have the chance to come into contact with, let alone enjoy.

And now, Senior Brother Wang Xiu was giving it to them without hesitation, just because they fought against the fierce ghost and did what they were supposed to do?

For a moment, the two middle-aged Daoists couldn't help but feel tears welling up in their eyes.

Who said that disciples of the Divination Lineage were all scammers?

This Senior Brother Wang Xiu was clearly so warm-hearted!
