"First, tell me why you won't let her go!" Yan Kongyue said, her chin lifted defiantly beside the Ghost King.
The Ghost King initially dismissed Yan Kongyue, thinking of struggling a bit more. However, when he saw Feng Xing approaching, he gave up on that thought.
He began to explain, "Years ago, I was severely injured and fled here, where I ultimately died. I took root in this place. Later, a wandering Taoist priest passed by. Unable to defeat me, he teamed up with a few other powerful Taoists to trap me here and even built this factory on top of it.
I was trapped and unable to escape, so I could only attract wandering souls and restless spirits to gradually grow stronger. But that old Taoist's formation was quite tricky; while the wandering souls could enter, I couldn't leave.
Then the factory changed owners. That man was no good; he drank heavily and would beat his wife when intoxicated. One time, he accidentally caused her to miscarry. In her despair, she set fire to part of the factory when she committed suicide.
The formation was damaged, but I could only reach the courtyard and still couldn't leave this place. This female ghost has been kind to me; having her around is companionship. She had a hard life when she was alive as well. Although I haven't given her anything, I can't harm her again. When danger arises, I will protect her as much as possible."
Yan Kongyue nodded. During the previous attack, she had intentionally held back to give the Ghost King some leeway. With the female ghost's limited abilities, without the Ghost King's protection, she would have long since vanished.
"Then why do people take the bus and wake up here every day?"
"It's all because of this woman. Her resentment is too strong; she always wants someone to listen to her grievances. But when someone arrives, she becomes timid."
"Have you harmed any living people?"
"No. Back in the days of that old Taoist, I heard them say that if I harmed a living person, this formation would cause my soul to scatter. That's when I realized they were trapping me here for show but truly wanted me dead."
"What should we do? Should we have Heibai Wuchang come up again?"
Yan Kongyue shook her head and looked at Cang Qing. "Cang Guardian, do you know him?"
"I do. He was originally a bandit. At that time, I wasn't dead yet and had some fame in the martial world. When the Yan Gui Shan bandits were causing trouble, a few of us brothers passed by and helped the local government suppress them. We fought for three days and chased them for half a month, but in the end, they still managed to escape."
Yan Kongyue raised an eyebrow. "If he's a bandit, then he can't be left alive!" Her intention was to recruit him for the Xiao Wujing group, but since he came from a bandit background, once he regained his freedom, he might develop ulterior motives—he could not be allowed to remain as a potential threat.
"Feng Xing, have Heibai Wuchang take him away!"
"Got it!" Feng Xing quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Xie Bian and Fan Wu Jiu.
Before long, those two arrived.
"See? It's much easier than opening the Gui Men!" Feng Xing couldn't hide his smile.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" After returning to Difu and settling those ghosts down, Fan Wu Jiu received Feng Xing's message and hurriedly dragged Xie Bian along.
"Alright, let's deal with this old fellow however we see fit; he has harmed many ghosts!"
"Understood!"
Soon enough, with the soul-locking chains in hand, Fan Wu Jiu trapped both ghosts effortlessly.
The Ghost King was severely injured, and with Feng Xing present, he dared not act recklessly. He could only resign himself to being locked up. However, he had long grown tired of this place; even a stroll around Difu would satisfy him.
"Your Highness, that female ghost is about to give out," someone reported.
"If she can't make it, then she can't. Am I supposed to give her mouth-to-mouth?" Feng Xing moved aside with disdain.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Fan Wu Jiu regretted adding this gentleman on WeChat; the workload ahead was unimaginable.
"Then I shall take my leave!" Xie Bian bowed to Feng Xing and Yan Kongyue before disappearing into the night with Fan Wu Jiu.
"Finally, it's all settled!" Zhang Chao plopped down on the ground. "What an exhilarating night!"
"Alright, we should head back; dawn is approaching!"
"Hey, Brother Lin, where did this guy come from?" Wu Nan looked up at Gao Da Cang Qing with admiration.
"He is my Bansheng Ling!"
"Oh, so cool!"
Feng Xing waved at Cang Qing, who flickered and vanished.
"Wow!"
