Chapter 147: Deity of Blessing? (1/2)
”Miss Qin, you don't have to pretend to be dead anymore, right?”
Jiang Li kept away most of the chain. In order to prevent the other party from escaping, he still left a shackle on her slender ankle.
Under such circumstances, the Dragon Imprisoning Lock's suppression effect should have been very low. The other party should at least be able to possess a body again. It did not have to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
Ssss!
Jiang Li flipped over the other party's palm and pressed his index finger on it. The effect was like a hot iron coming into contact with butter. Strands of white smoke immediately rose from the cold and pale palm, and the middle gradually became charred and sunken.
Seeing that the beautiful palm was about to be burned through by Jiang Li, Qin Shuman, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly opened her eyes and immediately let out a miserable ghost cry.
Sharp howls instantly penetrated the entire Seven Roads Town, and even the distant forest was affected, causing continuous wolf howls.
Jiang Li who was close by was even shaken to the point his eardrums hurt.
As the head that could crush rocks lowered, the soul-stirring howl stopped abruptly.
The Ghost City Lord, Qin Shuman, lay in front of her base with a charred head. She looked at the night sky in a daze. This body was not alive, and there was no sign of swelling or blood. However, the burnt fingerprint still damaged her exquisite face.
Her cry was not because of the pain, but because she had tried to summon her ghost soldiers again.
Up until now, she still did not understand why her 3,000 ghost soldiers were nowhere to be seen.
”Who are you calling? There's no need to shout. When you were beaten up by that old man, your subordinates were already killed by me.”
Jiang Li squatted beside the woman and very kindly helped her answer the questions in her heart.
”How is that possible? My Seven Paths Ghost City has 3,000 ghost soldiers. You've always been with me. How can you kill them!”
However, the Ghost City Lord refused to believe it. After all, in her eyes, the 3,000 ghost soldiers were already a very powerful force. She had relied on these ghost soldiers to stand strong here for 20 years. How could they vanish without a trace?
”Hmm? You called me young master just now, but am I not worthy now?”
Jiang Li wanted to hit her forehead again, but seeing her terrified expression, he could only give up.
”You have subordinates, but so do I. Let me teach you how to call reinforcements.”
A lump of Yin qi condensed in his palm, and as if it was costless, more and more gathered, soon forming a pitch-black ball in his palm.
Bang!
He crushed the yin ball and pure Yin-attribute spiritual qi spread out wantonly.
The temperature suddenly fell, and a thick layer of white frost formed on the surrounding ground.
However, this was only the beginning. As the yin qi fluctuated, the entire Seven Roads Town began to shake violently.
In the eyes of the man and ghost, the dense Yin qi was like a natural disaster, forming a huge tornado that surrounded the entire Seven Roads Town.
Amidst the spinning storm, 300,000 ghosts were faintly discernible as they converged towards the area where Jiang Li was.
Although the quality of these 300,000 ghosts was relatively ordinary, when gathered together, even a Core Formation cultivator would have a hard time seeing them.
The courtyard behind him turned into a dilapidated temple again. The lights of the Ghost City in the distance were extinguished and the bustling city withered. Under the impact of the ghost tornado, the illusion that enveloped the entire Seven Roads Town easily collapsed, revealing the essence of the dilapidated town.
Before this, Jiang Li threw the coffin into a corner and released the 300,000 ghosts inside.
Of course, he did not let all the evil spirits out. In the previous three instances, he had captured many ghosts, but it had been a short time since he had completely tamed them. Naturally, he had left tens of thousands of evil spirits behind to keep watch.
The 300,000 evil spirits surrounded the ghost market and gradually ate away at it. They gathered in circles and swept away all the ghosts that had fallen into the net.
Although the ghosts in the Ghost City were cunning, they could not escape the encirclement of such a large-scale army of ghosts.
As for those ghost soldiers, although their quality might be slightly higher than Jiang Li's ghosts, their degree was limited. It was impossible for them to cause any waves under the hundred-fold difference in numbers.
It did not take long at all for the entire Seven Roads Ghost City to be taken away by Jiang Li.
Looking at the ghost tornado that surrounded her, the Ghost City Lord who had been so proud of the 3,000 ghost soldiers that she had saved over the years became stunned. She had never seen such a scene before, this tornado that was like a natural disaster shocked her until her mind went blank.
Jiang Li casually waved his hand, and a small coffin flew over from the group of ghosts before being stuffed into his arms.
Looking at the stunned Qin Shuman beside him, he used spell techniques to create a green seed the size of a basketball in his palm and raised it in front of him.
”Miss Qin, didn't you say that you wanted to repay me? Don't resist; now is the time for you to repay me. How about giving yourself to me?”
At the very least, half of the credit for the establishment of this Ghost City was due to the master of this Ghost City's illusion technique.
The other half was also due to her.
The streets of this ghost market were governed in an orderly manner. From the 3,000 captured ghost soldiers, there were even a large number of standard yin attribute saber weapons.
This meant that there was actually a specialized military division in this ghost city. It was really a prototype of a comprehensive force.
If she was given another hundred years, she might really be able to establish a Ghost Domain here.
Although there were many ghosts in Jiang Li's coffin, they were all low-level ghost servants and ghost soldiers. Even if he wanted to promote someone capable, he had no way of doing so.
If he could take this Ghost City Lord, who could be considered an internal political talent, under his wing, wouldn't he have another practical tool?
”How is it, Miss Qin? As long as you are willing to eat this and accept my friendship, I will immediately remove your shackles.”
”When the time comes, we will still address each other politely. Not only that, the 300,000 ghost soldiers in the sky will all become your subordinates and serve you!”
When Jiang Li saw that the other party did not answer, he guided her patiently and systematically.
”Young master, humans and ghosts walk different paths. For you to snatch a little girl like this is not the actions of a gentleman.”
”Although I am lowly, I will no longer be anyone's servant.”
Qin Shuman's refusal was abnormally firm. Even when she spoke of being a servant, her eyes still flashed with hatred.
She had already been bound and tortured by someone for nearly a hundred years. Her entire soul was resistant to becoming another person's servant tool.
Jiang Li was a little disappointed when he heard her answer.
”You still chose to reject it? What a pity. If you cooperate, I actually want you to join me in one piece. But since you rejected it, there's no other choice.”
Jiang Li's expression turned cold. He directly pressed the basketball-sized seed towards the other party's head.
Elder Lin Fengying's corpse manipulation lineage specialized in corpse puppets and exorcism.
This seed was a spell technique that was similar to the ”Zombie Puppet Technique” and was more targeted at ghosts.
The specially enhanced version of the seed with spiritual qi was pressed on the ghost's head. The ball of light that was the size of a basketball squeezed into the head that was not even half its size.
The female ghost quickly reacted to the sudden attack and struggled violently.
The green ball of light that Jiang Li had pressed down halfway suddenly froze. It actually felt like it was being squeezed out a little.
