Chapter 88

When Jiang Wei saw Lu Yunkuang, the fellow disciples behind him also saw Lu Yunkuang. However, unlike Jiang Wei's reaction, they all involuntarily showed signs of fear upon seeing Lu Yunkuang.

During this period, Lu Yunkuang had been doing quite well; this could be seen from the fact that he had already recovered to the peak of the Spirit Meeting stage.

Due to the conflict with Jiang Wei, Lu Yunkuang had taken out his frustrations on the disciples of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect. If it weren't for Fang Siqi's restraint, forbidding him from using lethal force, there would have been disciples of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect who had been tortured to the point of soul disintegration. Even so, the lives of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect were not easy.

It was precisely because of this that when Lu Yunkuang appeared, so many of them instinctively showed signs of fear. But immediately after, their fear turned to shock.

"Th-this..."

Jiang Wei's fellow disciples were all stunned like wooden chickens.

The powerful Lu Yunkuang, who had once made them fear him so much, after seeing Jiang Wei, did not even dare to say a word and turned to run. What shocked them even more was that Lu Yunkuang had only run a few steps before Jiang Wei instantly caught up and picked him up like a chick.

Lu Yunkuang, at the peak of the Spirit Meeting stage, was completely helpless against Jiang Wei—how strong must Jiang Wei be?

"Senior Brother Lu, where are you going?"

"Hmph!" Realizing he was already in Jiang Wei's grasp, Lu Yunkuang became defiant, "Jiang Wei, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"Let you go?" Jiang Wei sneered, "Fine, considering we are fellow disciples, I'll let you reincarnate and start anew!"

Reincarnation!?

Lu Yunkuang was instantly terrified.

Unlike the five low-ranking ghosts earlier, Lu Yunkuang had a thriving life in the Ghost Realm. As a disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, Lu Yunkuang not only had the peak strength of the Spirit Meeting stage but could also advance to the Soul Condensation stage. Among the over a thousand members of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, most were at the Soul Condensation stage, with only about two hundred at the Spirit Meeting stage. These two hundred ghosts were either those with pitifully low talent who disliked cultivation or those who deliberately stayed at the Spirit Meeting stage to avoid advancing to the Soul Condensation stage. After all, once they reached the Soul Condensation stage, they would be assigned tasks by the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion.

Lu Yunkuang was one of those who deliberately stayed at the Spirit Meeting stage.

Without a doubt, Lu Yunkuang had a bright future ahead of him. How could he be willing to reincarnate and start anew?

"Senior Brother Lu, you seem reluctant?" Jiang Wei immediately noticed Lu Yunkuang's thoughts.

Lu Yunkuang did not answer Jiang Wei but said two words: "Cost!"

Lu Yunkuang was a smart ghost. He knew that in this situation, Jiang Wei would not let him off easily. Therefore, instead of begging in vain, he directly proposed a deal.

"Cost?" Jiang Wei laughed, "What can you offer that is more valuable than your life?"

"Ten thousand ghost coins!" Lu Yunkuang quoted a price. Even for Lu Yunkuang, ten thousand ghost coins was not a small amount.

However, Jiang Wei burst into laughter, "Ten thousand ghost coins? Your life is only worth ten thousand ghost coins?" If Jiang Wei had not joined the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, he might have been intimidated by ten thousand ghost coins. But now, Jiang Wei understood that for any disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, obtaining ten thousand ghost coins was not difficult—especially for someone like Lu Yunkuang, who had a prominent position in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion.

Using ten thousand ghost coins to buy his life was no different from giving alms to a beggar.

Lu Yunkuang gritted his teeth, "Ten thousand ghost coins is not a small amount!" Indeed, for Lu Yunkuang to earn ten thousand ghost coins was not easy, and his "annual income" was probably not even that much!

"Even if you offered a million ghost coins, I wouldn't be interested!" Jiang Wei's words were not a bluff; he genuinely had no interest in such a small amount of ghost coins. After all, in Jiang Wei's storage ring, there was a small mountain of soul stones, and any piece of it was worth a million!

With Jiang Wei's substantial wealth, would he be swayed by such a small amount of ghost coins?

"Sorry, Senior Brother Lu, I have no interest in ghost coins. So now... you can reincarnate and start anew, right?" Jiang Wei looked at Lu Yunkuang as if he were looking at a dead man—no, a dead ghost...

"You..." Lu Yunkuang was speechless. Apart from ghost coins, he could not offer any other compensation; even the equipment he had could be bought with ghost coins.

Jiang Wei finally lost his patience, "Hurry up, don't dawdle! If it weren't for the sake of being fellow disciples, do you think I would give you the chance to reincarnate based on your actions?" Jiang Wei did not want to leave a potential threat around. Who knew when Lu Yunkuang might come back to harm him!

As long as he forced Lu Yunkuang to reincarnate, Jiang Wei would have nothing to worry about. After reincarnation, it would be a brand new life, and everything from this life would dissipate like smoke—unless he could cultivate to become a Ghost Immortal in his next life and regain his memories from this life.

Could Lu Yunkuang cultivate to become a Ghost Immortal in his next life? If it were that easy to become a Ghost Immortal, the vast Ghost Realm would not have only one known Ghost Immortal, the Judge!

Therefore, as long as a ghost was sent to reincarnate, one could rest easy.

Seeing Jiang Wei forcefully compel Lu Yunkuang, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect were stunned—how long had Jiang Wei been in the Ghost Realm, and he was already this powerful? What would he be like in the future?

Only Li Hao and Er Dan thought it was quite reasonable; forcing other ghosts to reincarnate was already a common tactic for Jiang Wei.

However, Er Dan felt that Jiang Wei's approach was like taking off one's pants to fart—was it necessary to be so troublesome? Why not just let me, Er Dan, bite him to death?

"Do you want to reincarnate or not? If not, you can just disintegrate!" Jiang Wei called out to Er Dan.

Jiang Wei did not want to kill Lu Yunkuang himself, as that would bring sin upon him. But if Er Dan did it, there would be no sin—Er Dan was a dog, and "dog souls" and "human souls" were not of the same kind, so there would be no sin in killing each other.

"You're ruthless!" Faced with the choice between reincarnation and soul disintegration, no matter how unwilling Lu Yunkuang was, he had to choose reincarnation, "If I become a Ghost Immortal in my next life, I will surely avenge this humiliation!" As he spoke, Lu Yunkuang began the process of reincarnation with great reluctance.

"Hmph! A Ghost Immortal?" Jiang Wei sneered, "But if you really become a Ghost Immortal in your next life, you should thank me! Without me forcing you to reincarnate today, you wouldn't have the chance to become a Ghost Immortal in your next life."

And so, under the watchful eyes of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, Jiang Wei's overwhelming aura forced Lu Yunkuang to his death.
