Chapter 64

"Did you hear what my fist had to say clearly?" Jiang Wei's demeanor was nothing short of arrogant; yet, none of the ghosts present showed any sign of dissatisfaction.

Zhou Lei, the head of the Zhou Manor who had once fought Jiang Wei, was now trembling slightly: "How long has it been... his strength has become so powerful!" It was worth noting that when Zhou Lei captured Jiang Wei, it took him almost no effort; but now, in just over a month, Jiang Wei's strength had completely surpassed his.

Such rapid progress was enough to shock Zhou Lei! What truly made Zhou Lei tremble with shock was that Jiang Wei's soul concentration was only twenty times!

What did this mean? ——With a soul concentration of only twenty times, he could already crush a ghost cultivator at the peak of the Divine Meeting stage; what would happen when his soul concentration reached a hundred times!?

The one who felt the depth of Jiang Wei's strength the most was undoubtedly Lu Yunkuang, who had been on the receiving end of his attacks.

"How could this be? How could he be so strong!?" After a brief moment of shame and anger, Lu Yunkuang was filled with intense fear.

It was important to note that Lu Yunkuang was not an ordinary peak Divine Meeting stage ghost cultivator!

Lu Yunkuang was a formal disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion and one of the strongest among them. Even Zhou Lei, who was also close to the peak of the Divine Meeting stage, would likely be defeated in moments if he were to face Lu Yunkuang!

Yet, despite his formidable strength, Lu Yunkuang was completely overpowered by Jiang Wei.

While it was true that Jiang Wei had the element of surprise, who else could follow up with dozens or even hundreds of consecutive moves after an ambush, leaving Lu Yunkuang no chance to resist? ——Even many Soul Condensation stage ghosts might not be able to do that!

Moreover, Jiang Wei's soul concentration was only twenty times!

"Will he be even more monstrous than Lin Nianluo when he reaches the peak of the Divine Meeting stage?" Lu Yunkuang no longer saw Jiang Wei as a mere human, though Jiang Wei was indeed a ghost.

"A monster like this is not someone I can provoke!" Lu Yunkuang quickly recognized the situation.

Although Lu Yunkuang was also a disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, even among the disciples, there were different levels of status; especially after becoming a Soul Condensation stage ghost, the gap in status would become even more exaggerated! But the greater gap was in strength!

Having recognized the situation, Lu Yunkuang dared not stay and oppose Jiang Wei any longer. He immediately got up and was about to leave with the betrothal gifts.

"Such a monster, I can't provoke; if the Senior Brother dares to provoke him, let him do it himself!" Lu Yunkuang thought to himself. In reality, he believed that even the Senior Brother did not have the right to provoke Jiang Wei.

"Senior Brother Lu, where are you going? You haven't answered my question yet!" Jiang Wei pressed on, challenging him.

It wasn't that Jiang Wei was being unreasonable; his底线 (底线 means "bottom line" or "limits") had been crossed. Although Lu Yunkuang was not the mastermind but merely a pawn sent by Fang Siqi, Jiang Wei still did not want to let him off so easily!

"Junior Brother Jiang, don't go too far!" Lu Yunkuang, though fearful, still tried to appear fierce.

"So what if I go too far?" Jiang Wei was even more arrogant.

It didn't matter whether it was just Lu Yunkuang standing in front of him; even if it were Fang Siqi himself, Jiang Wei would not back down. Jiang Wei did not believe that Fang Siqi was unaware of the relationship between Li Hao and Zhou Xue; in his view, Fang Siqi's actions were not only a clear attempt to bully Li Hao but also a provocation against himself.

A man has his limits; some things can be tolerated, but others cannot! Even if Jiang Wei was in a strong position and had the support of Senior Sister Lin Nianluo, he would not back down even if he were in an absolutely weak position—no matter what, even if it meant his soul being scattered!

"Hmph!" Lu Yunkuang did not say anything more, just coldly snorted and walked straight out the door with the betrothal gifts; but from his snort, it was clear that he lacked confidence.

A ghost lives for its face, a tree for its bark; although Lu Yunkuang admitted he was inferior to Jiang Wei, he was unwilling to bow down and admit defeat.

"Stop!" Jiang Wei said coldly, his voice tinged with a hint of killing intent.

Jiang Wei had fought his way out of the Dao Seeking Mountain; although he had never killed a human ghost, the killing intent he exuded was real.

The four lesser ghosts by Lu Yunkuang's side were like flowers grown in a greenhouse, having never ventured out into the world; Jiang Wei's cold snort, filled with killing intent, truly frightened them, making them hesitate.

"Pay no attention to him, let's go!" Lu Yunkuang, who had also fought his way out of the Dao Seeking Mountain, was not afraid of Jiang Wei's killing intent. Of course, he genuinely did not want to engage in a direct conflict with Jiang Wei!

"Go?"

Jiang Wei finally grew tired of talking. He extended his hand, and without a word, Er Dan handed him his spear.

Swish!

Jiang Wei forcefully thrust the spear into the ground, embedding the spear shaft into the hard earth.

"Without my permission, none of you will dare to step out of the Zhou Manor today, or be prepared to have your souls scattered!" Jiang Wei did not block their way but stepped aside, clearing the path to the Zhou Manor's main gate, "Whoever doesn't believe me, just try it!"

Jiang Wei usually gave other ghosts a chance to reincarnate; but now, by directly saying "soul scattered," he showed no intention of giving them that chance, revealing his intense anger.

Could he not be angry? ——In life, Li Hao was his fellow disciple who grew up with him, like a brother; in death, Li Hao had spent all his ghost money for him. Now, someone was trying to take his brother's female ghost. Could Jiang Wei not be angry?

Indeed, only Lu Yunkuang and four minor ghosts had come today. If Fang Siqi were present, Jiang Wei would not even bother to speak and would have drawn his spear immediately! Even so, Jiang Wei's patience was very limited; if Lu Yunkuang and the others continued to act this way, Jiang Wei would not mind adding a few more sins to his name!

Jiang Wei's fierce stance once again frightened the four lesser ghosts by Lu Yunkuang's side.

"We're leaving! ——Are we five ghosts afraid of just one!?" Although Lu Yunkuang was also startled by Jiang Wei's words, he did not stop. As he walked, he still remembered to greet Lin Nianluo: "Senior Sister, you saw it, he's the one being unreasonable!"

Although Lin Nianluo had clearly said she was just there to watch, Lu Yunkuang did not think so; he knew that Lin Nianluo was there to support Jiang Wei!

Fighting Jiang Wei was not something Lu Yunkuang was afraid of; but if it came to a life-or-death struggle, he had to consider Lin Nianluo's presence.

"Don't tell me you're just here to watch!" Lin Nianluo smiled, "Even if you kill this Junior Brother Jiang, I won't bat an eye!"

"Fine! Let's go!"

With Lin Nianluo's "firm" assurance, Lu Yunkuang did not hesitate and led the four ghosts out of the Zhou Manor's main gate.
