Chapter Thirty-six: The Slowly Opening Curtain

  Thank you for the rewards from Wind Dancing Water Buffalo 2, Knife Day Er Tian, Jumping Little Elf, and Gu Yu Book Friends... There will be another update in ten minutes...

  The City God is overjoyed at this victory for his own side. In the eyes of the Chengling City City God, Liu Yi's backer, Qi Sheng, has died.

  Liu Yi himself was stabbed by an assassin sent by Gong Kui, the Ghost King. Although Feng Lai Shan's Ling Jing Tie Tong was unaware of Liu Yi's death, judging from the situation, it seemed that he had not died, and even if he had, it would have been a close call!

  Now Shen Tuchi has been caught by himself again, hum, I don't believe he can't be made to talk.

  The more he thought about it in his heart, the more pleased he felt, and he almost burst out laughing. His mood seemed to have been so relaxed for a long time.

  Even Fu Zheng's visit was neglected. But he didn't know that he had unknowingly offended a high-ranking official of the imperial court who had just retired and returned home!

  "I've already found those guilty ghosts!" The ghost prison guard said, "To be able to leave the ghost prison, these guilty ghosts would naturally do anything! Let alone killing some earth god, even if it's killing their own parents, they wouldn't hesitate for a moment!"

  He couldn't help but feel a slight sense of regret, this Earth God had actually been stabbed by someone. If he wasn't dead, it would be easy to handle, but if he really was dead, it would be quite disadvantageous for his own plans!

  Although thinking so, yet in his heart he also had a faint fear of Liu Yi. Perhaps dying like this was also a good thing. A relaxed smile appeared on his face as well.

  Cheng Huang listened and burst out laughing: "Haha... good good good..."

  He naturally knew that the sinful ghosts in the prison of hell were tortured at all times and could not be freed, so they would naturally seek it in vain.

  As long as I can escape from this hell, even if these guilty ghosts kill my own parents and relatives, I won't hesitate at all. Not to mention going to attack Liu Yi.

  Thinking to himself, he coldly said: "That Cheng An actually dared to betray me, secretly colluding with the Earth God. In this City Guardian Temple, enjoying the scenery, who knows how many traitors are hiding?"

  He paused for a moment, then coldly said: "To kill one to warn a hundred, throw Cheng An into the ghost prison first. Isn't there that karma fire? Let Cheng An taste the flavor of karma fire!"

  All the ghosts and devils heard the two words "karmic fire" and felt a chill in their hearts, and they couldn't help but shiver with fear, revealing a terrified expression.

  Having seen the City God, he was finally satisfied with a smile: "I want everyone to know what will happen if they betray me! And that Shen Tuiji, if he still doesn't drink respectfully and is punished for not drinking, lock him up in the Ghost Prison as well, let him taste it!"

  "Yes!" The prison guard lowered his head and bowed in response. His eyes were flashing, however, with a cold smile in his heart.

  This will be the end of Ling Cheng's life, and he still doesn't know it. He sneered coldly in his heart, but on his face, he looked even more respectful!

  Since the Fu family couldn't stay, Wu Hua drove the horse carriage back to his own home in the neighborhood. This place was quite remote and far from the county temple. Even among the surrounding neighborhoods, there were few people, and some places had even been converted into vegetable fields.

  After all, this forbidden master often has to deal with ghosts and monsters, ordinary officials and civilians are generally taboo, so it's better to live a little further away. It's just that in this way, it's too far from the City God Temple, which is not convenient for action.

  The horse carriage had just arrived at the entrance of the courtyard when it felt a chill, and the large gate creaked open. Ordinary people only saw a gust of cold wind blowing it open. But Wu Hua could see that it was his ghostly servant who opened the gate.

  Then he entered the inner courtyard, where it was empty and desolate, with only a Taoist priest living there. Many of the houses had weeds growing on their roofs, and birds had made nests there. The longer they were neglected, the more eerie and gloomy they became.

  However, the ground everywhere was spotless, without a single fallen leaf or speck of dust. Especially after entering Wu Hua's residence, it became even more eerily cold.

  It's broad daylight but not a single ray of sunlight can be seen, and it seems like there is even a faint mist. Several vague white shadows are barely visible, ghosts appearing in the daytime. Apparently, this place is almost entirely transformed into a ghostly realm.

  "They've seen the master of the house!" The several ghosts and goblins all bowed in unison. Each one had a strong, condensed ghostly aura, equipped with knives and swords, clearly they were fierce ghosts. There was even one that seemed to be an evil spirit.

  Wu Hua nodded and said in a low voice: "Close the door, guard the surroundings well, and don't allow anyone to come in!"

  The ghost slaves under his command, guarding the house from outside. Wu Hua then brought out the jar, removed the seal on top and said: "Everyone please come out!"

  A burst of light suddenly appeared, but it was quickly suppressed. Liu Yi reappeared in the courtyard, followed by Zhang Yue and forty ghost soldiers.

  Seeing this scene, Wu Hua was greatly shocked and hastily knelt down on the ground, lowering his voice to say: "Divine Lord, why have you come in person?"

  Liu Yi smiled faintly: "There is a great change in this city's crisis. If I didn't come, how could I be at ease?"

  Wu Hua was so anxious that he almost stomped his foot, and now he has thoroughly boarded Liu Yi's big ship. Not to mention Liu Yi's own methods, which had already made him extremely respectful.

  It was enough that there was Fan Zhen who could easily take his life. It was already enough to make Wu Hua fearful. There was no way he would get off the boat.

  At this moment, seeing Liu Yi unexpectedly lightly risking danger, appearing in such a dangerous situation, for a time even the thought of crashing into the wall also appeared.

  But he soon forced himself to calm down, today's things have come to this. Liu Yi has already appeared in the city, thinking more is useless!

  Liu Yi saw Wu Hua gradually calm down from his panic, and only then did he smile slightly. He said: "Don't worry, in the City God Temple, there are not just Cheng An who secretly collude with me. I won't be in any danger in this city."

  This is what the ghost prison guard said, but it's just a comfort to Wu Hua. From start to finish, Liu Yi never thought of going to see that ghost prison guard directly. Who knows if this kind can be relied on or not?

  He came this time to rescue Shentu Qi, and also to investigate the situation in the city.

  Listening to the movement in the courtyard, Wu Hua suddenly discovered that there were many strange objects in the courtyard. Several ghostly slaves under Wu Hua's command rushed in, wanting to protect their master.

  However, they were stopped by Daojin Shi, who rebuked them and wouldn't let them be rude. These ghostly creatures were all his subordinates, each one of them was elite.

  "Liu Yi couldn't help but praise: "So majestic, just a little bit more and it would be terrifying. What's your name?""

  This evil spirit actually didn't pay much attention to Liu Yi, lazily glanced at Liu Yi and then ignored him. Zhang Yue was furious: "You dare not to respond when my master asks you a question?"
