Jiang Jiayi was worried that Master Zhang would injure Gu Lingxi, so the only thing he could do was to waste time with Master Zhang. But the longer it dragged on, the worse the situation would be for Jiang Jiayi. If the sky brightened, he would temporarily disappear, and there would be too many variables. Master Zhang was also thinking the same thing. Right now, he was trying to stall for time. As long as he waited for daybreak, everything would be settled.

”Today, I have wasted all my efforts. If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill her.”

”I don't have any grudges with you in the past, why must you meddle in other people's business?” Jiang Jiayi calmed down, returning to his original appearance. He had a lazy expression on his face, as if he was a cat that had been freed from its natural instincts.

Liu Xiuyun saw the change in Jiang Jiayi. He was constantly wondering if this person was Jiang Jiayi. If it was Jiang Jiayi, how could he have become like this? Liu Xiuyun looked at the person in front of him with disbelief, as if he was a fairy from a painting.

”Haha …” Master Zhang laughed. He was born to capture ghosts, and they were naturally the enemies. Besides, this ghost was so powerful. If he could truly subdue it, then he would obtain the things that he yearned for in his dreams. The only thought in Master Zhang's mind was to kill Gu Jingxi, then extract the child from her womb and transform it into a medicinal pill.

The previous half of his life had gone by in an orderly manner, but now, under the temptation of great power, how could he still endure it? The moment he had discovered the demon head, he had already planned to kill Gu Linxi. As for Liu Xiuyun, he was easily able to explain. He had said that Gu Linxi's end had already arrived, and had only been supported by others.

However, he had calculated everything perfectly. The only thing that he had miscalculated was that Jiang Jiayi was actually so powerful. He had never met such a powerful ghost before. This time, he had truly poked a hornet's nest, but he was determined to get the Ghost Embryo.

At this point, no one wanted to take a step back, and there was no way out. Jiang Jiayi looked at Gu Linxi, who still had her eyes tightly shut. She was worried in her heart about whether Gu Linxi would be injured. After all, this old thing's yellow talisman was indeed very powerful. Furthermore, her yin aura was already present on Gu Lingxi's body, let alone the fact that she was still carrying his child.

This yellow talisman was definitely a result of Gu Linxi's injuries. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to awaken.

”What do you want?” Jiang Jiayi asked.

”I want you to obediently die. If you do, I'll let your woman go.”

Jiang Jiayi did not believe what Master Zhang had said. He did not believe that this person would so easily let Gu Jingxi off just because he was obediently waiting to die. Not to mention, if he really turned into ashes, how would he protect Gu Linxi?

”No.” Unbeknownst to him, when Liu Xiuyun heard that Master Zhang wanted to release Gu Lingxi, he immediately spoke up to stop him. What would happen if he released Gu Lingxi? She's still in the hospital.

”Shut up! How could this old man have the right to interrupt you?” Master Zhang somewhat angrily scolded Liu Xiuyun. It was one thing if his mind wasn't clear, but he still wanted to run out and speak nonsense.

”But you promised to save Wei Wei.”

When Jiang Jiayi heard Lin Xi's faint name, he immediately revealed a smile. ”You actually wanted Lin Xi to die because of Gu Wei.”

This smile was a bit scary. Liu Xiuyun took two steps back, forcing his beating heart to calm down.
