The Nine Ghost Messengers ran for over half an hour until they burst into a forest. Only when they saw that Liu Zhenxian was not pursuing them did they dare to stop.
"Damn it, this matter can't just end like this. I must take revenge," one of the Ghost Messengers said angrily. His right hand had been severed by Liu Zhenxian, and deep gashes marred his back, nearly splitting him in half. He was the most severely injured among the nine Ghost Messengers, his aura weakened to the brink of collapse, teetering on the edge of falling to the Century Ghost level.
The other Ghost Messengers exchanged glances, their moods far from cheerful. One Ghost Messenger furrowed his brow tightly, pondering for a moment before speaking up. "Have you noticed that the Eternal Ghost King looks somewhat familiar? Do you remember twenty years ago when the Judge put a bounty on that Evil Spirit causing trouble in the Underworld?"
A few of the Ghost Messengers' eyes lit up as they struggled to recall, then one slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh? Now that you mention it, that Eternal Ghost King does resemble the Evil Spirit on the bounty list!"
"Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck for us. Although we can't deal with that Eternal Ghost King ourselves, as long as we report this matter, the Judge will naturally send someone to handle him." One Ghost Messenger let out a wild laugh. He had already given up on seeking revenge against Liu Zhenxian, but hearing others say this sparked a glimmer of hope in his eyes; he longed to return to the Underworld and report what had happened.
"Hehe, you nine little ants, I kindly let you go, yet you not only fail to show gratitude but also plot against me behind my back. In that case, you all shall die!" At that moment, a chilling voice echoed from behind the Nine Ghost Messengers, followed by an overwhelming aura of the Eternal Ghost King descending upon them as a dark figure lunged toward them.
"Not good! That madman is coming for us! Split up and run!" The Nine Ghost Messengers were already terrified; upon sensing the unique aura of the Eternal Ghost King, they didn't even bother to identify whether it was Liu Zhenxian chasing them. They simply turned and fled in different directions.
If they had taken a moment to discern, they would have realized that the figure pursuing them was not Liu Zhenxian but Wang Lei, who had been lurking in the shadows.
Wang Lei had been investigating their movements for some time and was well aware of their actions tonight. He initially planned to strike when I was distracted and eliminate me quietly. However, after witnessing Liu Zhenxian's abilities, he concluded that even at his peak strength, he would not be a match for Liu Zhenxian—especially since he was still nursing injuries.
"Hehe, now you nine little ants realize it's time to run? Too late." Wang Lei abandoned his original plan; he had followed the Nine Ghost Messengers here with the intent to kill them and pin all the blame on Liu Zhenxian.
With a surge forward, Wang Lei quickly closed in on the nearest Ghost Messenger. In less than two seconds, he appeared behind that Ghost Messenger and drew out a Peach Wood Nail from his chest while chanting incantations.
"Bind souls as if binding ghosts; lock spirits as if locking souls. By my Evil Path methods, I bind countless souls. Evil spirits bound by ghost nails, come to me!" Wang Lei plunged the Peach Wood Nail into the back of the Ghost Messenger's heart. Almost immediately, a black rune emerged from the Peach Wood Nail and fused into the soul of that Ghost Messenger. The black rune twisted continuously, gradually transforming into more black runes until it completely enveloped the body of that Ghost Messenger in an instant.
"Ah! What have you done to me? Let me go!" The Ghost Messenger let out a desperate scream, thrashing wildly in an attempt to shake off the black talisman on him.
Unfortunately, Wang Lei didn't give him a chance. With a swift motion, Wang Lei slapped the Peach Wood Nails, and the Ghost Messenger's soul immediately twisted and was sucked into the nails in an instant.
It had barely been ten seconds since Wang Lei made his move. The other eight Ghost Messengers, hearing the commotion behind them, were filled with fear and quickly fled into the distance.
"Haha, as long as I devour these Ghost Messengers, my strength will recover significantly, bringing me closer to the day I can take my revenge. Jiang Ling, Stinky Taoist, just wait for me," Wang Lei sneered, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes. He then darted forward with the Peach Wood Nails in hand, continuing his pursuit of the remaining Ghost Messengers.
About four minutes later, Wang Lei easily eliminated the eight Ghost Messengers, deliberately letting go of the one with the deepest resentment. He watched the departing figure of that Ghost Messenger with a sinister gaze and muttered to himself, "I hope you can survive and return to the Underworld. It would be best if you could relay the news from here. If powerful Ghost Messengers come looking for me, I can take advantage of the chaos."
With that, Wang Lei reinserted the Peach Wood Nails into the wound in his chest and cautiously erased any traces of his presence before leaving the forest behind.
Liu Zhenxian was completely unaware of what had transpired in the woods. After returning to the shop, he continued to guard outside alone, preventing other Ghostly Beings from entering.
After a calm fifteen minutes or so, I had completely expelled all the demonic energy from Zhu Caini's body. At that moment, Zhu Caini began to tremble violently; an unusual flush appeared on her face as a faint demonic aura surged from her flesh.
"Howl~~" Zhu Caini stood up from the ground and threw her head back to let out a wolf-like howl. An ethereal wolf Demon Form appeared behind her as she successfully awakened her bloodline.
Zhu Caini opened her eyes and excitedly sensed the changes in her body. After a long while, she turned to look at me and shyly asked, "Master Jiang Ling, how can I return to my original form?"
I noticed two sharp fangs protruding from Zhu Caini's mouth, and her eyes had taken on the unique appearance of a Wolf Demon, making her look somewhat cute.
I smiled and shook my head before replying, "I'm not very familiar with your Wolf Demon techniques. Once Zhu Dongdong wakes up, just ask him to teach you. There's nothing more for me to do here right now; I'll go outside and see what's happening."
I walked outside the shop and asked Liu Zhenxian about what had just happened. At that moment, Hu Yalong and his two companions gathered around, listening with great interest to Liu Zhenxian's account. After all, their vision was limited, and they hadn't witnessed the fight earlier.
After more than half an hour, Zhu Dongdong emerged from the shop with Zhu Caini. By this time, Zhu Caini had returned to her original appearance, and this commission could be considered a perfect conclusion.
