Chapter 270: Chapter 237: Obedient Yin Child

“Colonel!”

When Sang Que arrived, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu also reached the square outside the Evil Suppression Bureau.

Suddenly seeing the Yin Child standing beside Sang Que and Xia Chan, Xiao Wu stopped in his tracks in shock, while Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment and rushed toward Sang Que.

“Sang Er, be careful, move aside quickly!”

Xiao Wu reacted quickly and pulled Xiao Liu back.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze gathered on the Yin Child beside Sang Que, including the constantly flowing ink traces in the Ink-Wash Ghost Realm which also paused momentarily.

In his concern, Xiao Liu’s first reaction was that the Yin Child intended to harm Sang Que and Xia Chan. It wasn’t until he was pulled back by Xiao Wu that he realized another possibility, his eyes widened in horror, his mouth opened but he didn’t know what to say to express his shock.

Wan Xiangtou, shocked and angry, observed the reactions of the people from the Evil Suppression Bureau. Seeing they were equally shocked, he immediately realized that the Evil Suppression Bureau was also unaware that Sang Que had tamed the Yin Child, and it was very likely they also didn’t know about the relationship between Sang Que and the leader of Nine Songs.

Thinking of this, Wan Xiangtou decided to remain silent and directly capture and take them away.

Otherwise, if this matter were to spread, plans might change, and compared to the sacred object of Nine Songs, what was the destruction of a Wangshan City?

Legend has it that the Nine Songs Sacred Object is the key to opening the Immortal Country Gate, and Witch Lady, the once supreme Ghost God, came from the Immortal Country.

The Deceitful Bride was called back to Wan Xiangtou’s side. Her head, which had fallen to the ground still covered with a veil, floated up and returned to her severed neck.

The Deceitful Bride slowly turned her head, and Wan Xiangtou felt a shiver down his spine, a cold breeze brushing against his neck.

However, the Deceitful Bride did not immediately retaliate by twisting off his head. Instead, she slowly raised her hand, pointing at He Buning. The meaning was obvious; she wanted He Buning as a sacrifice for the blood ritual.

Wan Xiangtou was a man, the Deceitful Bride a woman. Although Wan Xiangtou had attempted to play the role of the Deceitful Bride, the effect was not good. His main method of controlling the Deceitful Bride was to “treat her with respect.”

As a result, he always needed to find handsome men for the Deceitful Bride as a reward and thanks.

This is why the Deceitful Bride’s ghost slaves exceeded a hundred in number.

The battle halted temporarily due to the appearance of Sang Que and the Yin Child, and Cui Cheng was not forced to ’marry’ the Deceitful Bride. He turned back to see the Yin Child beside Sang Que, his eyes widening in shock.

Most of the internal members of the Evil Suppression Bureau had seen portraits of the Yin Child, as they needed to keep an eye on the Yin Child’s whereabouts to capture him and bring him to justice.

Cui Cheng ran a few steps to He Buning’s side, “Isn’t Sang Er supposed to control the pig killer? How did it become the Yin Child?”

He Buning, keenly aware of the change in Wan Xiangtou’s gaze toward Sang Que, was lost in thought and hadn’t heard what Cui Cheng said.

But as soon as Cui Cheng’s words fell, the Yin Child slowly turned his head, his empty eyes staring at Cui Cheng. Cui Cheng’s skin tingled, and suddenly, the Yin Child disappeared from his sight, with a bone-chilling coldness attacking from behind him.

“Come back!”

Sang Que shouted sharply, and the Yin Child retracted his small outstretched hand, standing behind Cui Cheng for a moment before flashing back to Sang Que’s side.

Obediently and docilely.

This scene greatly intensified the shock among the people present, and the traces in the sky also slightly trembled. It was surprising that someone could tame the Yin Child so well.

One must know that General Cao was almost killed by the Yin Child back then. Even risking his life, he couldn’t subdue the Yin Child. Only with the help of the Taoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect was he able to dismember the Yin Child at great cost, and even after being dismembered, the Yin Child managed to escape.

For a moment, apart from He Buning who was always staring at Wan Xiangtou, others looked at Sang Que with eyes full of reverence for a god.

Xia Chan, whose hair had grown back to waist-length, proudly puffed out her chest, and the Xuan Yu in her arms glimmered in her eyes.

The Daomadan was eventually devoured by Xia Chan’s hair. Originally, Xia Chan didn’t intend to do that, but who knew that the skinless corpse, obviously lifeless, suddenly moved again? Frightened, Xia Chan instinctively swung her sparse hair, and upon contact, it went out of control.

In the end, not a shred of the Daomadan’s corpse was left, completely shredded and devoured by Xia Chan’s hair.

Since then, Xia Chan’s little face remained rosy, giving an impression of being full of energy and good physique, and at this moment, Xia Chan felt a surge of blood pumping, just like each time after swallowing the jelly beans given by the Bell Doctor, only more intense, as if she couldn’t suppress the power within her, ready to explode.

Wan Xiangtou saw the scene of Sang Que controlling the Yin Child and became more certain that the Nine Songs Sacred Object was on Sang Que. Otherwise, how could she suppress the Yin Child so well? Such power only belonged to Nine Songs.

The Prime Minister of the Xuan Dynasty, the sacred object in his hands had the same effect, taken from Nine Songs twenty years ago during the massive destruction of the Witch Temple and extermination of Nine Songs. It grants the ability to render any command irresistible to ghost-level entities.

Wan Xiangtou’s eyes burned with uncontrollable desire when looking at Sang Que. If he could obtain the item in Sang Que’s possession, he could control the Deceitful Bride effortlessly, without having to offer up beautiful men!

The surrounding atmosphere subtly changed, the ink traces in the air began to vibrate, pressing towards Sang Que, seemingly in awe, which lessened Wan Xiangtou’s burden.

“Young lady, the Evil Suppression Bureau won’t keep you. Why not join my Ghost Opera Troupe to truly use your talents?”

Wan Xiangtou said loudly, with a sincere tone.

Sang Que put down his bow, expressionless, “Your Daomadan said the same thing, and she ended up dead!”

“You!”

Wan Xiangtou was rendered speechless, thinking earlier about who killed the Daomadan, turns out it was her.

The Ghost Puppet Master must have fled; that guy is always cautious, never taking the stage himself, and the others, after receiving his signal, were surely in retreat.

At this moment, to capture the Yin Child and kill everyone here depended solely on him.

Damn it! Why hasn’t the Corpse Nest arrived yet!

Although the Ink-Wash Ghost Realm was about to fully form, as long as he retrieved the embroidered shoes, no mere Ghost Realm could trap him.

Having decided, the sleeves of the Deceitful Bride fluttered, and more Deceitful Grooms appeared in the square, surrounding everyone present. The Deceitful Bride lacked the ability of a Ghost Realm, yet she could create an impenetrable area using ghost slaves.

People of lower rank generally cannot see ghosts of a higher rank, but when the ghost starts killing, it will actively manifest itself so everyone can see it. The more fear people have in their hearts, the greater the lethality of the ghost on people.

Wan Xiangtou took out two Jade Gourds from his sleeve, and, under the unprepared gazes of those around him, he smashed them forcefully on the ground.

Sang Que’s pupils shook. Those Jade Gourds, she had seen them during the capture of Qu Tianhe in the bandit lair; Qu Tianhe had smashed a Jade Gourd to release a Sickness Ghost.

Later, Sang Que learned from Yu Da that these specially made Jade Gourds could temporarily seal a four-layered evil ghost for seven days. If not transferred to a more secure container after seven days, the Jade Gourd would shatter on its own, releasing the evil ghost inside.

Even before the ghosts appeared, Sang Que instinctively spread out Evil Mist and his Opera House, but she discovered on the way that ever since the sky and surroundings began advancing into ink-wash style, the Evil Mist of the Yin Child, along with the Opera House in the key, were being suppressed.

Underneath a higher-level Ghost Realm, lower-level Ghost Realms, including Evil Mist, cannot overlap. Now, as General Cao’s Ink-Wash Ghost Realm is forming, her Evil Mist and Opera House could no longer be used.

The arrows with Ten Victory Stone Arrowheads, once they touch evil ghosts, the arrowheads would be consumed and shattered, unable to be reused.

Arrows were running low, and there were few yin objects left; she had little else to rely on.

When Wan Xiangtou moved, He Buning immediately protected Cui Cheng behind him, and Xia Chan quickly swung her hair across, spreading it out like a piece of glossy black brocade, forming a barrier in front of everyone.

The Yin Child flashed to Wan Xiangtou’s back with outstretched hands, while Sang Que took three firecrackers from her bag, held them together and ignited them, then threw them towards the spot where the gourds hit the ground.

An intense battle was about to begin!
