Chapter 574: Internal Strife Among the Ghost Kings

biological mother and sister.Looking at her younger sister's face, which was strikingly similar to her own, the original owner realized that she was also a young lady of the Marquis's mansion. But wh...The Ghost King's movements were not subtle. In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky and a fierce wind howled. Everyone guarding the camp saw a mass of pitch-black smoke erupt from the entrance carved out by the archaeology team. Behind it trailed a long string of black smoke, accompanied by various chilling cries of ghosts.

At night, it felt particularly chilling. Everyone in the camp emerged from their tents. After a full five minutes, the black mist at the entrance of the tomb finally dissipated, and then everyone saw Wu Lianyi calmly walk out.

The ripples only appeared after all the spirits had left, and then she waved her hand at the entrance, inscribing a talisman with spirit essence. This completely sealed the entire cemetery, preventing the king from hiding back in his tomb after being attacked.

Then she quickly recited incantations, casting out a series of hand gestures with every step. The spirit essence she had buried after felling the locust tree was activated one by one, rising in beams of light that instantly formed a massive formation, blocking the Ghost King from reaching freedom.

The Ghost King didn't believe in evil and charged twice, but every time he encountered the formation, a black smoke would rise from his body and his power would weaken slightly.

"Wu Lianyi!"

The Ghost King finally revealed his terrifying visage, baring his blood-chilling maw and turning to fly towards Ripples, intending to swallow her whole.

And everyone in the camp nearly dropped their jaws in shock, as they also saw that terrifying presence. But the next moment, they couldn't care less about Wu Tian's excitement because the remaining little ghosts were attacking the camp's formation. They seemed to see that the protected camp was a weak point.

"Master Wu, we have kept our promise. Why are you going back on your word"

Chen Meiyu didn't want to take action, so she asked directly.

Because the ripple deflected a jade talisman, it warded off the lord's tentative attack.

Liàn Yī looked at Chén Měiyu floating in mid-air, and said with a faint smile:

"I promised the prince, as long as he found a substitute, I would help him escape the tomb that held him captive. I did it!"

I promised my lady, to keep Hongji trapped here, her soul shattered, never able to compete with you for the King's affections. I have done it!

So, how did I become so inconsistent

R ripples tilted her head and asked.

This statement left Chen Meiyu momentarily unsure how to respond. While the other party had indeed promised to help them leave the cemetery, they hadn't explicitly stated they would set them free. It was an assumption they had made, and thus, they had fallen for the trap.

"Cunning sorcerer, you tricked me into trapping Hong Ji in the tomb, weakening our power. With one less Ghost King, you find us easier to deal with! You deserve death!"

The Ghost King roared, dragging a long plume of black smoke, and once again charged towards Ripple.

"My Lord, you are mistaken. I am only after you. Your wife and you are not on the same page."

Liàn Yī gave herself two light-body talismans, and the moment her toes touched the ground, she was ten meters off the ground, dodging the Ghost King's attack with a graceful figure. This time, she shot out a jade talisman, repelling the Ghost King's attack and restoring him to his original form.

"What do you mean"

The Ghost King heard Lian Yi's words and looked at his wife who had been floating in mid-air, not helping him attack. His face instantly turned purple, and he glared fiercely at Lian Yi, wanting to know the answer.

“My lord, you and your wife have been trapped here for nearly a thousand years. You still have a concubine, a beauty to spice things up. Madam Chen is probably sick of looking at your old face, but she bears it because she's on your territory.”

If you had not favored that concubine so excessively, perhaps your wife would still remember your marriage vows and lend you a hand. Alas...

While the ripples continued to sow discord, she waved her hand and scattered a shower of talismans, dispersing the small demons that charged towards her.

Chen Meiyu raised an eyebrow, surprised to find that the person who saw through her thoughts was actually a celestial master.

"Madam Chen, as long as you don't interfere and are willing to enter my artifact, I guarantee I will beat this fool to a pulp, sending his soul scattering. Afterward, I will send you to the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn. How does that sound"

Ripples began to stir under the Ghost King's nose, starting to cause division.

"You dare!"

The blood-mouthed Ghost King, turning his wrath on Chen Meiyue.

The ripples just wanted to write a big "stupid" on the other person's forehead. At this time, she wouldn't give in and even dared to threaten another Ghost King. The most important thing to do now was to unite all forces and get rid of this celestial master first. She clearly grew up in a male-dominated environment and is a fool.

Chen Meiyu's face turned cold, then she gave a chilling smile and said:

"As the Heavenly Master Wu said, I've truly had enough of your face. After a thousand years, this palace is finally free from that place and has no need to spare you any courtesy."

As she spoke, Chen Meiyue transformed into a cloud of black smoke and charged towards the Ghost King. The two Ghost Kings clashed within the formation, causing flying sand and rocks, and the sky darkened.

With a successful provocation, Lian Yi glanced at the situation and swiftly vanished into the camp's encirclement formation.

"Wow, Master Wu, you're amazing!"

Professor Ma said with heartfelt emotion.

The opponent nimbly dodged left and right in the air, evading the attacks while still having the energy to counter. With a few words, they instigated a conflict between the two ghost kings, leaving him utterly impressed. He had never seen a celestial master subdue demons so skillfully.

"The Ghost King fighting isn't a pretty sight, their aftershocks would rip through the protective barriers I hastily set up. Then those little ghosts could tear you apart."

Ripples said helplessly, "Now is not the time to worship her."

"Master Wu, what do you want us to do"

Still, it was Wu Siming who reacted quickly, leading the team, including Fu Tianxing who had already recovered to normal, to Ripple's side.

"Take these jade talismans and bury them along the perimeter of the camp, spacing each one one meter apart."

"Yes!"

Wu Siming took over a small pouch of jade talismans and immediately led people to carry them out.

"Master Wu, what can we do"

The members of the archaeological team also asked, especially Feng Jiajia. Although she was still trembling with fear, because she had companions around her, she managed to ask calmly.

"You return to the barracks and place these talismans on the heads of the designated individuals, guarding them."

This time, the ripples presented three talismans. Inside were the souls of those three archaeologists who had lost their essence.

"How should I respond"

Feng Jiajia looked at the three identical talismans in her hand and asked.

"Which talisman glows when placed near their foreheads, stick that one."

"Yes, we'll go right now."

Professor Ma took his archaeology team into the tent immediately.

The entire camp was reinforced again, and the two ghost kings were temporarily separated. The ghost king and Chen Meiyu, who had transformed into human forms, both looked rather disheveled. One had bloodstains on his face, and the other had disheveled hair. It seemed that both of them had fought with true fury.

A ripple played at the corner of her lips as she spoke to Chen Meiyue:

"Madam, have you thought it through Instead of staying with him and suffering his demise, why not reincarnate and be reborn In your next life, you'll surely find a lover who treasures you like a jewel."

Let me tell you something, in today's society, it's a monogamous system. Men can only be with one woman for their entire lives. If they don't love her anymore, they can divorce, but they can't take concubines.

"Alright, I'll believe you one more time!"e other cultivators say they couldn't find the cave"Mu Sheng couldn't hold back and was the first to ask a question.If I'm not mistaken, the marked location of the cave dwelling on the map is correct,...
