Chapter 532: 315
“So they’re just leaving? Not caring about us?”
Seeing Nange suddenly break out and leave abruptly, Xin Fu revealed a schadenfreude smile, looking at the four disciples with various expressions.
“Should we follow them now?”
“Little Taoist, I believe these people won’t let us pass.”
Tao Baibai of Three Saints Village looked at the ghost kings who didn’t know how to respond.
“That’s a shame then, it would be great if we could follow and see.”
Xin Fu showed an expression of regret. The sudden appearance and equally hasty departure of the Yin Spirit girl changed his mind.
“I’d like to see how that bastard Feng Qing’an dies.”
“…”
Even Hua Qing Yu, who supported Feng Qing’an most of the time, stayed silent at this moment because she didn’t know what to say.
Feng Qing’an’s actual treatment in the underworld was much better than they had imagined, it was not as harsh. Her guess that he was a furnace tripod was partially correct.
“Sirs, can we discuss something? Can you let us pass? We don’t have any other ideas, we just want to watch the commotion.”
Xin Fu held the Yellow Talisman in his hand, speaking with a casual tone as if talking to a friend, addressing the five ghost kings.
“Little cultivator, don’t make that kind of joke with us. If we let you pass, we won’t be able to survive either.”
Nange could command them at will, come and go as she pleases, and even call out orders at them. But if these people were allowed to take a step here, the guards would suffer.
“So, after all this fighting, you still want to take us alive?”
The ghost kings fell silent at this.
“…”
They didn’t want to fight, not just them, the ghost soldiers under their command also didn’t want to fight. The orders from the king were to capture alive. Acting under such orders inevitably restricts them, sometimes even when they have the chance, they have to hold back due to these orders, leading them to be severely injured or even counter-killed.
“It seems like you guys don’t want to fight anymore.”
Hua Qingyu, standing with her spear, was charismatic, showing clear differences between the five disciples after the difficult battle.
Although their personal conditions and the strength of the ghost kings they faced varied, at this moment, the disciple of Star Lodging Sect was calm and relaxed, not showing any signs of exhaustion. While the ghost king she was fighting with had nearly ten penetrating holes and was very miserable.
“Even if we die, we can’t let you go.”
The ghost king with hard scales covering its skinny body and four wings on its back spoke coldly.
Even if it didn’t understand humans, it knew that if they let these little devils go, there would be endless troubles. They must keep them here.
“Then let’s each take a step back. We won’t leave, you find us a place to rest. This can be taken as you fulfilling your duties to your king.”
Hua Qingyu made a proposal. She couldn’t let her friends fall here and she didn’t have much confidence they would survive their trip to the Soul River as a Heavenly Immortal.
Even though she was the pride of the human clan, how many prides who have obtained the true transmission have there been throughout history? And among them, how many were able to pass the numerous tribulations and achieve immortality? It was because she knew this that she held such awe.
“Find you a place to rest?”
The obese ghost king looked at the golden-haired girl with an expression of disbelief, bearing countless wounds inflicted by Hua Qingyu.
“What are you looking at? Want to fight?”
Hua Qingyu flicked her spear, spun a beautiful arc, the stars in her eyes shone brilliantly, as if a galaxy contained within them. Every inch of her skin was radiating divine light, just standing there made her appear invincible.
“You find us a place to stay, tell your king that you’ve captured us alive, isn’t that enough to justify? Then you can wash your hands of this, wouldn’t that be better?”
“…”
The five ghost kings fell silent immediately. If it was at the beginning, they were confident that they could fulfill the king’s orders, but right now, looking at the Yellow Talisman in the hands of these young humans, all they wanted to do was to get as far away from them as possible.
They weren’t stupid, these five humans obviously had a deep connection with the king’s consort. The king’s order not to kill them was probably due to this reason.
“Send them to Think Over Abyss!”
The spider-body female ghost king, who was also very fearful and wanted to retreat, spoke up.
“What’s that place?”
Xin Fu frowned and asked.
“That’s where the guilty ghost soldiers reflect, don’t worry, there are no problems there!”
Now none of the ghost kings was considering these five humans. They just wanted to finish their orders as soon as possible and let the king handle the rest.
“What are you waiting for? Lead me there now!”
Xin Fu voiced his impatience.
“Didn’t you say you’d rather die than surrender?”
Jin Wuying, who was weak and unstable, laughed. He felt much relaxed than previously.
The appearance of Nange confirmed Feng Qing’an’s words. He held an extraordinary position in Ghost Nation, beyond a simple furnace tripod.
Having this layer of relationship as a guarantee, the words ‘capture but not harm’ from the ghost kings now appeared much more credible.
