Chapter 55

The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, yellow paper scattered everywhere, and the nearby spirits all rushed to pick up the money. In the end, they all knelt down to thank the City God.

Master, in a while, you let that little maid take the lead, and I will escape with you. Song Wanyi whispered in my ear, blowing gently.

I was about to turn my head and almost bumped my old face into her lips. I quickly put out my hand to block, her lips were soft, with a hint of coldness, making me indulge in endless thoughts.

Looking at her expression, I noticed that her face seemed to have changed, not like she was faking it. I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean? That City God?"

The little maid is good at close combat, and I am only good at spells. Did you see that City God? He is not a City God at all. This guy is full of malevolent energy. Even though ghosts can't see him, I can. He is very powerful. Also, the two Black and White Impermanents beside him are not ordinary. Song Wanyi pouted her lips, indicating me to look over.

I looked from a distance, but couldn't see anything unusual. A grand canopy, eight ghosts carrying the sedan chair of the City God, isn't this normal?

The Black and White Impermanents are indeed powerful, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.

As I got closer, the image of the City God came into my view.

The City God was dressed in a bright red robe, around thirty years old, with a terrifyingly pale face and lips dyed bright red, looking like a demon. I was stunned. This is the City God? His appearance really doesn't fit!

What about Xijun? I saw Xijun still playing the game of dragging a dead dog, and I felt I couldn't abandon such an innocent child.

We won't take this little maid. She is disobedient. In the future, Lady Wanyi will give you a child. Besides, if we don't leave her behind, we won't be able to escape. Song Wanyi said with a red face.

Nonsense! If you keep talking like this, do you think I'll use the mourning stick to beat you? I spat. This Song Wanyi definitely wants to steal the master! She is too devious! When she possessed Zhao Qian, her character was clear. I can't be fooled by her: Tell me, where can we run?

Looking around, it was as crowded as a vegetable market, and the city gate behind us was also closed. Without the mechanism to open it, does this City God want to play the execution scene at the market?

Master, the Yang path is the place with the strongest Yang energy. Of course, we should run where the Yang energy is strongest. Seeing that I was unwilling to leave Xijun, Song Wanyi looked a bit disappointed.

I didn't see any disappointment in her eyes, but rather a hint of cunning.

Strongest Yang energy? Can you see it? Because I have become a ghost, I see everything around me as dark as night, but I can clearly see everything, yet I haven't found any Yang energy.

Master, just follow me, don't leave my side. Song Wanyi didn't intend to explain more, just wanted me to follow her. She also glanced at Xijun, looking somewhat resentful.

She definitely thinks this little maid is too pampered and troublesome, and is trying to get rid of her. I waved my hand and called Xijun back. I won't abandon her.

The City God soon stopped at the most open spot, his eyes like frost, looking at us three ghosts, and then at Ling Tong and Chen Daheng lying on the ground.

You are Xia Yitian?

Xijun! Eat Chen Daheng! I ordered Xijun without hesitation.

Xijun was playing with Chen Daheng like a cat with a mouse, probably thinking about when I would forget about Chen Daheng so she could eat him. Hearing this, she immediately opened her mouth and bit off Chen Daheng's head.

With a few chews, she devoured Chen Daheng completely! There was no more moaning.

After Xijun finished eating, she growled and then emitted a strange red light from her body, which quickly disappeared. I didn't pay much attention, thinking she was digesting.

The City God looked at me coldly, seemingly not understanding what had provoked me, but soon his expression became strangely calm.

Ha ha, interesting. Have you seen me in Yinfeng Town? The City God said out of the blue, a statement no one else heard, as if it was directed at me.

I felt the voice was familiar but couldn't remember where I had heard it. I frowned and looked at him, but the City God remained expressionless, as if he had never spoken.

I was thoroughly stunned. This is a human skin mask! And it's a woman's?

Just as I was wondering who he was, Song Wanyi grabbed my hand and flew, as fast as chasing stars and lightning. I couldn't even hold onto Xijun.

Seeing Song Wanyi drag me away, Xijun grabbed Ling Tong and followed, her speed also like lightning, not much slower than Song Wanyi, and even faster, despite dragging a ghost!

All this happened in a flash. The numerous ghost guards and Golden Shackles Generals only realized Chen Daheng had been eaten and roared, chasing us. Especially Chen Zhili, who charged forward like a madman, knocking down many ghost generals.

I, now a ghost, flew at about the same speed as Song Wanyi. Xijun, though confused, couldn't let me be taken away by the mountain ghost, so she followed.

On the way, Song Wanyi slashed several wind blades, clearing a path ahead. Although she didn't fly very high, it was still like flying, and I could feel the wind whistling past!

Bang bang!

Two huge bone walls rose from the ground, blocking our path!

Evil cone, piercing the autumn water, frost of calamity, breaking all who stand in its way! Song Wanyi shouted, extending two fingers. A cone-shaped Yin energy shot towards the bone wall, creating a large opening with a loud boom.

She pulled me through the bone wall immediately.

Behind us, the City God lightly exclaimed, "I didn't expect the ghost you raised to have some skills, reaching the initial realm."

Xijun, unwilling to pass through the bone wall opened by the mountain ghost, opened her mouth wide, roared, and a red light shot out, creating an even larger hole in the bone wall. She then dragged the half-dead Ling Tong and gracefully floated over another bone wall.

Song Wanyi frowned, not expecting Xijun to have this hidden skill. She thought anyone hit by this red light would not be happy.

I was also surprised to see Xijun's black eyes now had a red ring, just like Song Wanyi's. It was clear her strength had undergone a qualitative change, and after eating so many ghost generals, she was not much weaker than Song Wanyi.

Brother, he is so troublesome. Xijun wants to eat him! Xijun suggested on the way.

I didn't expect her to take Ling Tong along, but considering he was a burden, I nodded.

Xijun happily devoured the unconscious Ling Tong and then held a sin edict, examining it, wanting to eat it too.

You glutton, can you eat this? I saw the sin edict and reached out to ask for it. Xijun handed it to me. After doing so much, she seemed very relaxed and quickly caught up, hugging my neck.

Song Wanyi was a bit unhappy. Why should she pull two?

The situation developed in ways I didn't expect. The City God's eight ghosts looked ordinary, but their speed was astonishing, following us from a distance. Besides the Golden Shackles General, the Black and White Impermanents also held mourning sticks and chased us, not much slower than Song Wanyi and Xijun!

See, Master, if no one stays behind, we will all die here. Song Wanyi glared at Xijun, as if telling her to stay behind.

Brother, we don't know the mountain ghost well. Why don't we let the mountain ghost stay behind? Xijun cleverly pouted, unwilling to look at Song Wanyi.

Stop arguing, quickly go to the Yang path. I was really annoyed by these two. At such a time, they were still arguing. Sometimes it's better when they can't speak.

After several twists and turns, I also felt the presence of the Yang path. A strange Yang energy was emanating from a gate to the east, with many ghost generals guarding it. All the ghosts gathered at the city gate, heavily guarded, which looked unusual. It was likely the path to the Yang world.

As we approached the gate, a group of ghost generals flew over, all wielding soul-severing knives. If hit, we would surely be annihilated.

Song Wanyi raised her hand and sent out wind blades, cutting down the ghosts and leaving several scratches on the gate.

Useless, what's the point of borrowing the Yang path? Once the edict is issued, you will have to return. The Black Impermanent shouted, shaking his black mourning stick, the bells on it ringing.

The bells shook my mind blank. Xijun, angry, opened her mouth on my shoulder and roared, shooting a red light at the Black Impermanent!

The Black Impermanent was startled and quickly jumped away, but the red light didn't stop. Xijun shook her head, and the red light swept towards him again!

The White Impermanent immediately struck the red light with his white mourning stick, but it was repelled with a loud boom.

The red light, besides being solid, also burned the mourning stick black.

Xijun's black and red eyes showed a hint of greed. She flew off my shoulder and quickly reached the White Impermanent, opening her mouth to eat his head!

The Black Impermanent, frightened, quickly threw his black stick to stop Xijun's next move. Xijun dodged the mourning stick and glared at the Black Impermanent.

What a powerful ghost general! If not for being incomplete, I wouldn't know how to deal with it! The White Impermanent was almost scared to death. If not for his brother's help, he would have been eaten. This Silver Lock General was not eaten in vain!

The Black Impermanent hesitated, then took out a token and shook it. Several black smoke clouds quickly flew out from his body, entangling Xijun!

Xijun roared, and a wave of sound energy immediately blew away the black smoke. However, this gap allowed the Black Impermanent to retrieve the mourning stick thrown by the White Impermanent.

Not done yet! Xijun fought the Black and White Impermanents without falling behind. I took this opportunity to ask Song Wanyi, fearing she wasn't putting in her best effort to break the gate.

Master! The gate is enchanted, I can't break it, it might take some time! Song Wanyi was using all her strength to break the gate, but the Yang path was heavily guarded and sealed, not easy to break.

What? Not chat a bit before leaving? The gate isn't broken yet. The City God, holding the grand canopy, slowly approached.

Hearing this eerie voice reach my brain, I felt like a parasite clinging to my bones!
