Chapter 251: Chapter 116: Evil Ghost Tier, Watching the Game, Entering the Game

Another White Sparrow is still near Hubei County, and it will take one or two days to fly to Xiaoliu Workshop.

…

…

“Damn it! Damn it!”

The cold voice was filled with venomous resentment.

The small man cursed viciously in the alley of Xiaoliu County, shrouded in red mist.

He loosened his grip, casually tossing aside the White Sparrow whose flesh and blood he had savagely squeezed out, then twisted his neck.

“Chang Qi, if that ghost thread is gone, then so be it. At least we gained ten cents. These ten cents can buy many things.” A woman’s voice sounded.

“Shu Niang, that ghost thread… was a top-grade item… Even if you venture deep into Ghost Street, you’d still need to risk your life and have good luck to buy it.

I got it with great difficulty. Compared to that ghost thread, I don’t care about these ten cents at all.” The cold voice was full of frustration.

The one named Shu Niang said, “Chang Qi, once we finish the job at Spring Breeze Square, we can go ’shopping’ deep within Ghost Street. By then, we might be able to buy something better than your ghost thread.

Besides, without this ghost thread, isn’t the Ghost Spider Silk in your hand also quite powerful?”

Chang Qi sighed, obviously not wanting to discuss this topic. He glanced at the White Sparrow and said, “This kind of ability is very rare, where did it come from?”

Shu Niang said, “Don’t worry about it right now…”

The three of them walked slowly, and behind Chang Qi and Shu Niang was a silent giant.

The giant held a lantern in his hand.

Inside the lantern, there seemed to be a faintly visible decaying head, with blood-like red light flowing down from the lantern, staining the surrounding houses and trees in red.

…

…

Two days later.

Li Yuan’s other White Sparrow finally fluttered and flew to the vicinity of Spring Breeze Square in Xiaoliu County.

This time, however, it dared not fly inside but only observed from a distance on a tree outside Spring Breeze Square.

Lo and behold, it really did catch a good show.

At the entrance of Spring Breeze Square, there was a group of Martial Artists on tall horses in a standoff with the encircling Armored Warriors.

Leading the group was Yan Mu.

“Open the square gate and let the people out!”

Yan Mu’s angry voice could be heard even across the pages of the book.

The Armored Warriors dared not act rashly, and soon a Captain from among the Commander’s men stepped out.

The Captain glanced around and suddenly bypassed Yan Mu, addressing someone behind Yan Mu: “Elder Tian, what brings you here?”

This Elder Tian was an elder of the Nongyi Sect, well-known in the area, so naturally, the Captain was familiar with him.

Elder Tian saluted, saying, “Captain Zheng, today my master is here and has seen everything clearly. You… should not continue to aid this tyranny.”

“Aid tyranny? What do you mean by that?” the Captain said coldly.

Yan Mu swung his horsewhip, pointing towards the distant Spring Breeze Square: “You have encircled these people, which means you are helping the fiend to harm the common people!”

“The fiend?”

“The Mansion Master is the fiend! He ordered you to surround Spring Breeze Square, but it’s only to feed everyone inside to the Evil Ghosts one by one!” Yan Mu said sternly, his eyes burning with flames.

The Captain said, “Is there really such a stark contrast between good and evil? It’s just a struggle among your higher-ups… we are just eating the Royal Family’s food.

I don’t know if the Mansion Master is the fiend. I don’t know if you’re lying either. If you want me to let them through arbitrarily, then I should be the one confessing my crime, going to jail.”

Yan Mu glanced at everyone and said, “Captain, look around. These soldiers, these citizens, they all come from the same land and water! Isn’t it the same for you, Captain?”

The Captain remained silent.

Yan Mu shouted sternly, “At this time of national crisis, when the fiend holds a high position and harms the Human World, Captain, don’t you want to aid the tyranny and harm your friends and family?”

“That’s your one-sided story.” The Captain said.

Yan Mu said, “Captain, you’ve been stationed here for several days, right? Isn’t it that during the day there is nothing wrong, and as soon as it’s night, there’s chaos in the square?

To test whether I’m lying, just let the people from Spring Breeze Square come out, and then Captain can cordon off an area and confine them in one place.

See if they go mad at night, then you will know.”

The Captain showed a hesitant look.

At this moment, an officer behind the Captain suddenly said, “Captain, you mustn’t, this person is clearly an archenemy of the Mansion Master, if we help him…”

Before he finished speaking, a flash as cold as snow suddenly streaked across.

Yan Mu’s knife had somehow already been unsheathed, and amidst the stabbing light, the speaking officer’s head flew right off.

Yan Mu brandished his knife, the blood dripping coldly from the blade’s tip.

He urged his horse forward.

Under his pressure, the Armored Warriors began to retreat.

Yan Mu looked down at the Captain, saying, “It seems too late for the Captain to turn back, from now on, be part of my Divine Wood Hall.”

The Captain’s body trembled, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and he stammered, “Si…Sixth Grade?”

Elder Tian shouted beside him, “This is our sect’s Upper Envoy, of course, a Sixth Grade. Captain Zheng, don’t make a mistake.”

The Captain trembled as he spoke, “You… you… are you trying to rebel?”

Yan Mu was silent for a moment, then said sternly, “Just doing the right thing!”

The Captain slightly lowered his head, saying softly, “Let them go…”

The White Sparrow watched this scene from afar, and Li Yuan smiled to himself: It seems his nephew has come out of his previous slump… looking rather fierce and just, like his aunt.

Suddenly, he noticed that among the Armored Warriors, there was someone raising a hand to cover his sleeve, staring at Yan Mu, not knowing what he was doing.

Li Yuan’s gaze shifted, and the White Sparrow suddenly darted out with a “swoosh,” like an arrow leaving the bow, pecking at that warrior’s face.

“Oh!!”

The warrior cried out in pain, and the Rabbit Sugarman he was holding fell into the muddy ground.

The White Sparrow swiftly flew away again.

The warrior couldn’t care about anything else, hurriedly bending down to pick up the Sugarman.

However, his hand was stepped on by a boot.

The warrior looked up and saw, in the sunlight, Yan Mu looking down at him coldly.

And the Upper Envoy of the Divine Wood Hall slightly tilted his head at the same time, glancing at the distant White Sparrow, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Note 1: At the beginning of the month, Peach Blossom Pastry requests some monthly votes, thank you!

Note 2: Previously, the Ghost Realm was indeed written a bit mysteriously, in the future it will be incorporated into the power system. After all, this is not a supernatural story, but fantasy, ghosts do not need to be unsolvable.
