ENDING

CHAPTER 101 - IMPRISONMENT

Name.

Chen Tao.

Profession.

Daoist Priest.

In the interrogation room, Chen Tao and Zhao Xue were finally separated. Two policemen, a man and a woman sat in the interrogation room, staring at Chen Tao, wanting to get some useful information out of his mouth.

Hearing that Chen Tao was a Taoist, the two policemen laughed in disdain. To them, the Daoist of this idea was a scammer. From the looks of it, Chen Tao was more likely to have committed a crime.

From the information that we have, you and Zhao Xue should not have known each other. In that case, why do you live in her room?" The female police officer with the same surname Zhao was clearly a good interrogator. The moment she got up, she immediately asked the most sensitive question.

I noticed that she didn't look too good. She must have been pestered by evil spirits, so I went to her house to help her get rid of her evil spirits. Chen Tao said lightly.

Put away your tricks. The male police officer with the surname Zhang slapped on the table, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Tao: You're already at the police station, and you're still being dishonest? Do you know how many swindlers like you I catch every day?

I have a Daoist's ultimatum under my clothes. I think you've already seen it.

You can get that kind of thing anywhere you want. I can get one if I want. Officer Zhang glanced at Chen Tao in disdain. He could tell that this brat was a thief who did not know his place. Even after entering the police station, he was still unwilling to speak the truth. If Chen Tao still maintained this non-violent and uncooperative attitude later on, the Officer Zhang was prepared to give him a small punishment.

Compared to the furious Officer Zhang, Officer Zhao, who had been observing Chen Tao's expression the whole time, was a little surprised. Because she didn't see any abnormal fluctuations from Chen Tao's face, could this person really be a Spirit Dao cultivator?

Officer Zhao looked at the file next to his and saw that Chen Tao was a Spirit Dao cultivator who belonged to Maoshan Sect.

They were not unfamiliar with this Maoshan Sect, as it was shown no matter if it was in movies or TV dramas. However, it was precisely because of this that everyone still had some doubts regarding the identity of Maoshan disciples. After all, everyone was an adult, so they knew that the content on the movies and TV dramas were mostly exaggerated and unreal.

I saw from the information that you're a disciple of Maoshan Sect. Can you prove to us that you're the one? Officer Zhao looked at Chen Tao very seriously.

Qian'Er, are you serious? Do you even believe the words of this little swindler? You are the People's Police. Officer Zhang stared at Zhao Qian in disbelief.

How do you want me to prove it? When Chen Tao heard Zhao Qian's words, his eyes finally regained some color. Could it be that as long as he could prove his identity, he would be able to get out?

Didn't you know how to catch ghosts? You catch a kid and show us. Zhao Qian said as she fantasized.

Chen Tao bitterly shook his head and said, It's not like brats are everywhere. Especially a place like the police station, which is supported by the destiny of the country. Normal ghosts wouldn't dare to stay here.

That's about right. It was rare for Officer Zhang to hear Chen Tao praising their police station. He carried his own arm and leaned against a chair, his face had a little pride.

Do you know anything else? Zhao Qian saw that Chen Tao did not agree, and instead felt that Chen Tao was not a liar, so she continued to ask.

I know a little inner force, and this is something that our Maoshan Sect disciples must learn. If you don't mind, I can show it to you," Chen Tao muttered to himself for a while, then raised his head and said to Zhao Qian.

We don't mind. Show it to us. Without waiting for Officer Zhao to speak, Officer Zhang waved his hand at Chen Tao and said.

One had to know that he was a fighting master in the police station. If the little swindler in front of him said something about magic, he would definitely not be able to interrupt him. However, in terms of capturing fighting techniques or even martial arts, although Officer Zhang did not say that he was powerful, he still had eyes for discernment.

Crack.

Display complete.

Chen Tao only exerted a slight amount of force, causing the handcuffs on his hands to shake off as if it was made of paper.

The two policemen rubbed their eyes in disbelief. What was going on? The handcuffs were opened so easily?

Officer Zhang's expression was slightly ugly as he said to Zhao Qian, Did someone who captured him not handcuff him well?

Zhao Qian shook her head and said, Didn't you see that the handcuffs were broken by the shock? This has nothing to do with the lack of handcuffs.

Am I proving my identity? Chen Tao looked at the two policemen in doubt. There was indeed shock on their faces, but it seemed that they didn't quite believe what they had said.

If you shake off the handcuffs, it will only prove that you are a martial arts master. It is a pity that you have not proven your identity as a Daoist, and instead proved that you can easily kill people. Officer Zhang said to Chen Tao calmly.

Chen Tao was also getting angry, what's going on with the two policemen? The person who wanted him to prove it was them just now, and now he wanted them to prove it later on?

Officer, I'm not joking with you. If I can't get out of here tonight, the girl you brought back will be in danger."

This is the police station. It's very safe. Officer Zhang shook his head, obviously not accepting Chen Tao's actions.

You can defend against people, but can you defend against ghosts? Chen Tao said while looking at Officer Zhang seriously.

Don't try this on us. Whenever he encountered something he couldn't explain, he would start to play tricks on him. Didn't you say that before? The police are supported by the destiny of the country, so the ghosts don't dare to come in.

Chen Tao choked on Officer Zhang's words. Ordinary little ghosts would naturally not dare to enter, but what about the Ghost King that had been in the Underworld for many years?

Well, you can put on the handcuffs yourself. I advise you not to resist. Even if you know how, we have guns in our hands. As for whether or not you had anything to do with the courier's death, you'll find out by tomorrow's coroner's autopsy report. You can stay in jail for a while tonight. Officer Zhang threw the handcuffs on his waist to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao quietly put it on, and then was brought in by the two police officers who came in. The Officer Zhang purposely showed the two that Chen Tao had broken the handcuffs, and repeatedly emphasized how dangerous it was for Chen Tao.

This caused the two armed police officers who were escorting Chen Tao to immediately reloaded their rifles in their hands, as if they were looking at a dangerous enemy.

Let's go in.

Two armed police officers brought Chen Tao to the cell that he was staying in tonight.

Originally, criminals like Chen Tao were kept in temporary cells until they were convicted, but with Officer Zhang's special care, Chen Tao was directly brought to a prison where the guards were even stricter for a long time.

Oh, it's a new person again. There were four people in this cell. One of them lay carelessly on the bed, while the other three sat in the corner as if they were afraid of him.

Now that they saw Chen Tao walk in, three fierce-looking men stood up from the corner and looked at him with malicious intent.

This outfit is quite unique. What was this outfit? Acting? A short guy looked at Chen Tao who was wearing a long robe and laughed disdainfully.

Kid, what did you do to get in here? The tallest and strongest amongst the three of them clenched his fist and raised his chin towards Chen Tao.

I was wronged. I just stayed here for a night. Chen Tao calmly looked at the three and explained.

Stay for the night? Are you tired of living? How dare he lie to me? Do you know that there are people living here who have been sentenced to ten years or more? If you were wronged, would you be thrown here? "

Chen Tao frowned slightly. He felt that these people in front of him were not to be trifled with. He was wondering why the police threw him here.

I'm talking to you, did you hear me? When the smaller man saw that Chen Tao did not bother with him, he got angry and extended his hand to push Chen Tao.

But how could this person's hand speed compare to Chen Tao's? Before his hand could even touch the corner of Chen Tao's clothes, Chen Tao had already grabbed his hand and grabbed him, pressing him down on the ground.

It hurts, it hurts! Big brother, quickly save me!

F * ck, you dare to touch my brother! The remaining two people waved their fists towards Chen Tao without saying a word.

Just by looking at the two's fist movements, it was clear that the two of them had used deadly means. If an ordinary person were to be struck like this, they would definitely be seriously injured.

Towards this kind of person, who would attack without hesitation, Chen Tao was not courteous at all. With a flick of his leg, the tallest and strongest man was sent flying like a rubber ball, smashing heavily onto the wall.

As for the other person, Chen Tao exchanged punches with him, and in a mere punch, he had broken that person's wrist.

AHH!" The man with the broken arm held his hand and knelt on the ground, his head full of men.

Seeing his two brothers knocked out by Chen Tao in a single move, the person who was held by Chen Tao didn't dare to struggle no matter how painful it was. She was honest like a little rabbit, looking at Chen Tao pitifully with tearful eyes.

Like I said, I'm just staying here for the night. If you don't bother me, I'll be fine. After Chen Tao finished speaking, he released the man's hand and found a clean place to sit down cross-legged.

The three of them looked at Chen Tao fearfully. This brat looked gentle and weak, but they never thought he would be so ruthless. The three of them returned to how they were before Chen Tao came over and quietly squatted in a corner without saying a word.

Young man, you're quite skilled. The person who had been lying on the wall turned over and faced Chen Tao who was seated cross-legged.

Chen Tao opened his eyes and looked at the person, and discovered that it was actually an old man?

Don't look at me like that. Although I live in prison, they didn't catch me. I wanted to come in myself, so I stayed here. The old man picked at his ear, looking like he was very powerful.

The three men in the corner nodded together. Previously, they had looked down on this old man and were prepared to bully him. Who knew that this old man was the same as the brat before him, appearing to be a coward. He wasn't even human when he moved his hands.

This was why the old man was able to sleep on the only bed in the cell.

Hearing the old man say that, Chen Tao still did not speak, he only glanced at the old man and closed his eyes.

He could feel that the old man's aura was that of a martial practitioner. However, all of these things had nothing to do with him. The only thing he was currently worried about was Zhao Xue's safety. The rest is unimportant.

Seeing Chen Tao ignoring him, the old man laughed, he had not seen such an interesting young man in a long time. He stretched lazily and continued to sleep on the bed.

CHAPTER 102 - JAILBREAK

Compared to Chen Tao's experience, because Zhao Xue gave off a gentle and kind appearance, the policemen didn't make things difficult for her. Instead, they really did lock her up in a temporary prison.

Although they were all in jail, Zhao Xue's conditions were much better than Chen Tao's. Not only was the environment here extremely clean, without those criminals, Zhao Xue naturally wouldn't have to suffer any unfair treatment.

Only, this time, Chen Tao did not sleep outside. His heart was empty, and he felt that it was a little unstable. According to what Chen Tao said, the Ghost King would probably come to find him tonight.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xue lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

What is it? Can't you sleep alone?

The unfamiliar man's voice made Zhao Xue, who had been on guard, suddenly sit up from the bed.

A handsome man wearing a moon-white robe was standing in front of him.

Zhao Xue nervously hugged onto her arms, her voice trembling as she spoke to the man: Who are you? How did you get in?

Madame forgot about me so quickly? I'm the one who wants to take you back to your marriage. The handsome man pretended to be depressed as he looked at Zhao Xue and said: I had thought that you, Madam, were unable to sleep because you knew I was coming tonight. Could it be that I guessed wrongly?

The man naturally guessed correctly. It was indeed because of him that Zhao Xue was unable to sleep, but it was not excitement, but absolute fear.

The man sighed, nodded at Zhao Xue and said, My name is Liu Qing, but everyone in the Underworld is willing to call me Green Jade Ghost King. You can call me Qingyu from now on. Come, it's about time. Let's go back and get married."

Green Jade Ghost King stretched out his right hand towards Zhao Xue.

No! Don't come near me! Help! " Zhao Xue suddenly shouted loudly.

Green Jade Ghost King acted like he was looking at a mischievous little girl, and dotingly said to her, Stop screaming, I have already set up a barrier around us. The guards outside won't hear you. Not only can they not hear you, even that Taoist in your house probably can't feel that you've disappeared, right? Speaking of which, that Taoist is quite capable, for him to have placed such a huge force in your family."

You! Go away! I won't go with you! Zhao Xue was still extremely resistant to Green Jade Ghost King.

No matter how handsome the Green Jade Ghost King was, Zhao Xue knew in her heart that he was a ghost, a demon. Humans and ghosts were different. She would not easily surrender.

Green Jade Ghost King lowered his face and waved at Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue slowly raised one of her arms, as if she was losing control.

Zhao Xue fearfully looked at his right hand that was naturally placed on the Green Jade Ghost King's palm. And just as Green Jade Ghost King grabbed onto Zhao Xue's right hand, Zhao Xue's entire person sank into a stupor. Her eyes were lifeless, as if she had lost consciousness.

Come, let's go home.

Alright. Zhao Xue numbly nodded.

Green Jade Ghost King waved at the walls of the prison, then a teleportation portal appeared on the wall. Green Jade Ghost King pulled Zhao Xue and stepped into the room, and the two of them disappeared from the room.

This is bad! Chen Tao who was meditating inside suddenly opened his eyes. Just now, his reaction towards the protective talisman had suddenly disappeared.

This was the miscalculation of the Green Jade Ghost King. He thought that Chen Tao would only plant an imprint similar to what he had done previously on Zhao Xue. If Chen Tao had used this method to locate Zhao Xue, then a barrier could hide a lot of things. But the talisman that Chen Tao gave Zhao Xue was an extremely special thing, this was something that Green Jade Ghost King did not expect.

Chen Tao abruptly stood up from the ground, causing the three people who were cowering in the corner to shudder. There was nothing he could do about it, as Chen Tao's aura was currently too terrifying. Even the old man who had been lying on the bed had opened his eyes and looked at Chen Tao.

Brat, what are you trying to do? The old man scratched his chest and looked at Chen Tao lazily.

There's something I want to go out for now. Chen Tao walked over to the side of the iron fence.

The other three looked at Chen Tao as if they were looking at a fool. Who in the prison doesn't want to go out? Wasn't it a bit too impatient that this person had only been here for a day?

Brat, you need to think carefully. It's a jailbreak if you go out now. It won't be hard for the people outside to shoot you. The old man didn't doubt that Chen Tao could leave, but he was like an elder instructing Chen Tao.

The three people who were hiding in the corner all stared at the old man with widened eyes. Wasn't this too exaggerated? Did this old man really believe that he could get out?

It's okay, I won't let them see me. After Chen Tao finished speaking, he placed his hands on the iron fence.

Crack crack crack.

Under the three people's staring eyes, which were almost popping out, Chen Tao forcibly bent the iron fences one by one. Chen Tao leisurely walked out, and disappeared into the darkness in a short while.

Big Brother … It's really our luck that he didn't cripple us. " The man who was previously resentful towards Chen Tao was now rejoicing in his heart.

Someone who could even bend the iron fence was too small a threat to them.

Big Bro, look. He's already helped us clear the way, aren't we? The other little brother was thinking about something else. They had come here because they had killed many people. If nothing unexpected happened, they would probably spend the rest of their lives in this cell.

If you guys dare to run out right now, then I'll cripple you guys without the help of those policemen.

Just as the three of them were thinking about what to do, the elder on the bed said something that was like a bucket of cold water extinguishing their enthusiasm.

The old man snorted and went back to sleep. Chen Tao was innocent, it was understandable for him to rush out to save others. If the rest of the people in the prison were to escape because of Chen Tao, this matter would be very serious.

Thus, the old man's actions could be considered as helping Chen Tao.

Relying on his body technique, it was very easy for Chen Tao to escape from the prison that seemed like it was filled with iron and steel.

There was only one possibility, and that was that she couldn't feel the existence of the protective talisman. That was, Zhao Xue was no longer in the mortal world. Only the difference between the boundary of the talisman could make Chen Tao not feel the talisman.

Using his previous reaction to the location of the protective talisman, Chen Tao did not spend much effort to get outside of Zhao Xue's prison. However, there were two policemen standing outside the cell.

Chen Tao nodded his head, it seemed like there was someone who valued the things he said previously. Otherwise, they wouldn't have protected Zhao Xue like this. It was a pity that their opponent was a ghost that came and went, not a human.

Chen Tao walked out from the shadows. He couldn't possibly sneak under the two policemen's noses all the way.

Who? A policeman looked around vigilantly.

Chen Tao flicked his finger and two small rocks shot out, hitting the policeman on the neck. The two policemen were rendered powerless as they fell to the ground.

Chen Tao opened the door and went into his room. He looked at the wall with a serious expression.

Normal people might not be able to see anything special from this wall, but Chen Tao was different.

It's actually an Instant Cast Array. Seems like this Ghost King is not simple. Chen Tao stretched out his hand and touched the wall.

The reason why Chen Tao knew that this was an Instant Cast Instant Cast Formation was because the undulations emitted by the remaining runes on the wall were extremely weak.

If he had engraved the patterns of the formation on it beforehand, it would have been extremely difficult to remove them. However, it was very difficult for such a formation to be disturbed by external forces at the same time, making it even more stable.

There were no magic tools around Chen Tao, all of his equipment had been taken away by the police. With no other choice, Chen Tao could only bite the tip of his finger and started drawing on the wall according to the patterns of the array.

Chen Tao's current behavior was extremely dangerous. Because he had never been to the Yin World, he didn't know much about the transportation formation that led to the Yin World. He used the remnant runes to recreate the magical formation. If he succeeded, there wouldn't be any problems.

However, if he failed, he could be torn apart alive by the magical formation or be transported to an unexpected location. It could be said that Chen Tao was making a wager with his life.

Open! After Chen Tao finished drawing the array, he hastily checked it and didn't hesitate to form a hand seal to activate the teleportation circle.

Weak rays of light came out from the teleportation circle. It was different from the one that was released by the Green Jade Ghost King, the teleportation circle opened by Chen Tao was too narrow.

Chen Tao clenched his teeth, and with some heartache, he took out a small spirit stone from his bosom. He placed the spirit stone on the wall, and the entire formation lit up. The Soul Stone seemed to have been absorbed by a magical formation on the wall, silently merging into the wall.

Chen Tao stepped into the array and the white light completely engulfed his body.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Old Zhang! The guards at the door all fainted! " A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door.

F * ck, I knew that brat definitely came here first after he escaped! Hurry, ram into the door and enter."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were only three sounds and the door to the cell was forced open.

A team of special police officers rushed into the room and aimed their rifles at every corner of the room.

Where is he? Officer Zhang put down the gun in his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Could he have escaped? A younger policeman said.

Bullshit. We rushed here as soon as we heard the news of the escape. There were walls all around him, how could he escape? Can he even get through walls? " Officer Zhang was currently burning with anger. The two main suspects in the murder case had both disappeared? And it disappeared inside the police station? What a blow to the police system this was, everyone present knew it.

Everyone lowered their heads and did not say a word. Only Zhao Qian looked at the walls of the prison thoughtfully when she heard the word through the wall.

CHAPTER 103 - YUDU GHOST CITY

Just like the Yang World had the rules of the Yang World, the Yin World also had all sorts of rules.

Previously, when he was shady, Chen Tao could walk around freely in the Underworld. But now, what entered the Underworld was not only his soul, but also his physical body. This was going to be troublesome.

Chen Tao's body could be said to be like a piece of fat fresh meat in the entire Underworld. No matter what kind of ghost they were, as long as they smelled the yang energy from Chen Tao's body, they would covet him.

Crash.

A big fellow was ripped into half by Chen Tao, it was as if a rain of blood had rained down from the sky. Chen Tao shook his hands. This was already the seventh time he had killed a ghost that smelled his own scent.

We can't go on like this. If we can't find Zhao Xue in time, the consequences will be unthinkable. Chen Tao bent down and picked up the pieces of ghost flesh and blood and smeared them on his body. As Chen Tao's hand seals changed, the flesh and blood quickly disappeared when they came into contact with Chen Tao's body.

On the surface, it looked as if Chen Tao had not changed at all, but Chen Tao knew that with the help of these ghosts' flesh and blood, he had already slowly suppressed the yang energy in his body.

After cleaning himself up, Chen Tao started to walk towards the outside of the forest. It was unknown whether it was due to him recovering wrongly previously, or the Green Jade Ghost King who kidnapped Zhao Xue, but when Chen Tao came back to his senses, he had already landed in the forest and wasn't anywhere else.

There was also a city in the Underworld, Chen Tao knew this since he was used to being in the dark.

Next.

Not long after Chen Tao left, he arrived at the nearest ghost city — — You Du.

Unlike the high technology in the Yang World, everything in the Yin World was reborn. It was as if they had returned to the ancient times. At the city gate stood a row of Ghost Soldier s guarding the city gate. They held onto long spears in their hands and charged all the people who entered the city to enter the city.

Halt. The gatekeeping Ghost Soldier stopped Chen Tao.

When Chen Tao saw the pike in front of him, he was still stupid enough to walk two steps forward, and only stopped when he bumped into the pike. He turned around and looked at the Ghost Soldier who was guarding the door, somewhat puzzled.

This was Chen Tao deliberately imitating those wandering souls. Just like what everyone knew, after many people died in vain or died in vain, what they went to was not the Underworld, but the dead city. They had to stay in a dead city until their lifespans completely disappeared before they could go to the Underworld to report.

However, there were still a few wandering souls who would think of ways to escape from the underworld ghost servant if they were unwilling to go to the Desolate City. Although the cause of death was different for these wandering souls, their common characteristic was that their reactions were slow and they appeared to be in a daze.

F * ck, what bad luck. Why would there be wandering souls here? The gatekeeping Ghost Soldier was obviously not in a good mood as well. After all, dealing with other ghosts with a bit of vitality was much more interesting than dealing with wandering souls. Don't look, don't think I'll let you in just because you're a wandering soul. Hand over the money!

Hearing Ghost Soldier's words, Chen Tao tilted his head. He waited like this for a long time, and then as if he had received a signal from the Ghost Soldier, he reached into his arms and took out a large stack of underworld money.

The eyes of the Ghost Soldier gatekeeper lit up. He did not expect that even though he was a fool, he still had a lot of money.

The Ghost Soldier who was guarding the door watched on helplessly as Chen Tao pointed at his own money. If it was a normal ghost, it would not do this. After all, the fee to enter the city was fixed, so there was nothing to worry about.

However, wandering souls were different. In the eyes of the Ghost Soldier, they were equivalent to imbeciles. Didn't you see that the wandering soul has ordered it three times and still hasn't figured out how much money you have?

Chen Tao scratched his head in frustration, and then pushed all the money in his hands to the Ghost Soldier who was guarding the door.

The Ghost Soldier was ecstatic. He had been waiting for this moment, who else would have the patience to accompany this fool in counting the money for fun?

The Ghost Soldier who was guarding the door rubbed his hands and said to Chen Tao: This isn't right, why don't you count it again?

This time, Chen Tao's reaction was extremely fast. He shook his head, and then pushed the money in his hands forward. The Ghost Soldier was beaming with joy as he received the money. The money here was enough to pay a fee of ten years to enter the city. Of course, the more money he had here, the more he had to give to his brothers.

Quick! Make way! Make way for my master! As the saying goes, taking someone else's hand is not good, not to mention that Chen Tao had given him such a huge amount of money. The Ghost Soldier who was guarding the gate quickly ran back and forth to let the guards in front of him move aside. Those who were slower immediately went up and kicked the ghost to the ground.

Chen Tao was secretly happy, but he still had a foolish expression on his face. Chen Tao believed that with the money he gave the gatekeeping Ghost Soldier, even if he made a ruckus in the city, the gatekeeping Ghost Soldier would not give up on him out of respect for the money.

Wealth could make ghosts work, and such words were passed down from one generation to the next from the Maoshan Sect, so it wasn't unreasonable.

Captain, if city lord finds out we took so much money, this … Another Ghost Soldier came to the front of the captain. He looked at Chen Tao's back, a little worried.

What took the money? Did you see a ghost grandpa going in today? The captain's eyes opened wide. This subordinate of his was really too ignorant.

No, I didn't! Not a single wandering soul entered the city today! " His subordinates weren't ignorant people. After receiving their captain's suggestion, they immediately understood what their captain meant.

They are the Ghost Soldier s who are guarding the city. As long as they say that they have never seen them before, then who would dare to jump out? The amount of money that the wandering soul had given could be considered a windfall.

Chen Tao, who was walking in the city, didn't know about the matters of the Ghost Soldier s who guarded the gates.

In this ghost city, everything was sold. The food and clothing could even be seen!

Chen Tao shook his head, he felt that he really had too little experience in the past. In the past, when he was in the dark, he never dared to come to Ghost City alone. Usually, he would only interact with officials of the Underworld outside the city or bring back a certain person's wandering soul from a certain forest.

Therefore, the flourishing of the Ghost City really gave Chen Tao a fright. If not for the fact that the sun was green and black in the sky, Chen Tao really would have thought that he was still in the Yang World.

Uncle, is this your first time in our city? Just as Chen Tao was about to walk around and familiarize himself with the city, a little kid patted his shoulder and ran in front of him like a dog.

Chen Tao sized up the brat in front of him. Although he called him a little kid, it didn't mean that he was young. Rather, it was that his ghost power was extremely low. Looking at his appearance, this was probably a thirty to forty year old middle-aged man with a small goatee. When he looked at Chen Tao, his face was smiling like a dog tail flower.

I am. This is my first time here. Chen Tao nodded blankly.

The corner of Liu Er's mouth raised up slightly. This was precisely the kind of person he was looking for who had a lot of money. He had been squatting at the entrance of the city every day to see who was really rich when they paid the entrance fee so that he could earn a decent sum of money.

Without a doubt, Chen Tao stood out amongst this group of brats. Seeing Chen Tao giving such a huge stack of money to the gatekeeping Ghost Soldier, Liu Er almost jumped up and cursed. This fool, did he have any concept of his own money!

Oh, how can we not have a guide the first time we come? My name is Liu Er, and I am a native of You Du. I have stayed in You Du for over two hundred years, so I am extremely familiar with the environment here. Sir, look …"

Chen Tao nodded and said that it was good.

Liu Er didn't know what Chen Tao meant by that. That means he wants to hire me, right?

I can be your lord's guide, but I feel that this price must be suitable. Liu Er stood in front of Chen Tao, his eyes staring straight at the little money that was revealed under Chen Tao's clothes.

Chen Tao snickered in his heart, reached his hand out and took out a stack of bills from his bosom, casually giving them to Liu Er and saying, This is, half. If it's completed, there's still half of it.

Done! Done! Rest assured sir, I will definitely let you have a good time in Nether City! " Liu Er took the money from Chen Tao and couldn't help but pinch his thigh. So much money, and it's only half of it!

Maybe Liu Er was stunned for too long, so he frowned slightly.

Liu Er was someone who could read words and observe the situation. He cursed in his heart and quickly kept the money, respectfully saying to Chen Tao: I wonder what this grandpa likes to play with?

Who is the city lord of Tranquil Water?

Liu Er was startled, this master did not play according to the rules. Generally speaking, the little ghosts here would come to the underworld to eat, drink, and have fun, but no one would ask them about the city lord.

Liu Er hesitated. On account of the money, he clenched his teeth and said to Chen Tao: "The city lord of our capital city is the Green Jade Ghost King.

Come, let's go meet. Chen Tao said in an unrelenting manner.

Liu Er felt his legs go weak, and he almost knelt down on the ground.

The city lord of Nether Capital! The supreme existence of the city! This tycoon in front of him actually wanted to meet him?

This was the first time Liu Er felt that the money in his pocket was a bit scalding. The fool in front of him was really stupid to the point that it seemed that his money was not that easy to earn.

Master … Why are you looking for city lord? city lord is not that easy to see, why don't we go and play in the outer city for a while? " Liu Er's voice trembled.

Look, it's fun.

Liu Er wiped the sweat off his forehead. No wonder those people didn't want to deal with wandering souls. If you want to see the city lord, it's for fun? What was there to look at in the city lord?

Liu Er shook his head at Chen Tao and said: Elder, if you go to other places, I, Liu Er, promise that I will help you settle things. Only the inner city of the capital could not. That was where the city lord lived. It was equivalent to the palace of the king of the Yang World. Does the Palace know?

Chen Tao shook his head.

Liu Er covered his face, thinking that he had been defeated by this foolish old man.

In short, I can't go. Either we go somewhere else, or we go our separate ways now. I don't want the remaining half of the money. When Liu Er finished this sentence, he closed his eyes until his heart was bleeding.

Crack.

Liu Er who had his eyes closed felt that something had hit his face.

When Liu Er opened his eyes, the floor was filled with money, and all of them were large bills!

Liu Er's legs went soft once again, but this time he did not forcefully endure it and kneeled on the ground. He smiled as he gathered the money on the ground together, happy and oblivious as a porcupine.

Not lacking in money. These two words that Chen Tao said finally broke Liu Er's psychological defenses.

Done! This grandpa can go anywhere you want! I, Liu Er, guarantee that I will help you settle this! " Liu Er did not even raise his head because his attention was completely focused on the money on the ground.

CHAPTER 104 - WEDDING FEAST

It was unknown who built this city first, and the inheritance of the city lord was not passed down from generation to generation. It was said that the reason Green Jade Ghost King was able to become the city lord of Nether City was mainly because the previous city lord was his master.

As a result, after the previous city lord died, the Green Jade Ghost King was able to calmly take over the city lord's scepter.

city lord, everything has been prepared. The banquet can start anytime.

In the main hall of the City of Nether Realm, Green Jade Ghost King sat upright in his throne, dressed in a black robe with golden edges. Hearing that his subordinates had come to report, Green Jade Ghost King opened his eyes, looked at his subordinates and asked: How are your preparations going, Madam?

The wedding dress has been changed, but …

But what?

However, Madam's attitude still hasn't improved, so I'll be presumptuous and have someone stop you. The servant who was bowing spoke hesitantly.

It doesn't matter. The Green Jade Ghost King seemed to have already expected this outcome, or perhaps it was because Zhao Xue was like this that he was interested in her.

Please forgive this subordinate for speaking bluntly. city lord, if Madam doesn't cooperate, we won't be able to get married. The servants did not understand what the city lord was thinking.

Use puppet technique to control her and let her complete all the processes. Green Jade Ghost King said calmly.

This … The servant was stunned. It had to be known that the people invited for this banquet were all well-known figures. Who could not see through such a small trick as Puppet Technique? What kind of woman in the Underworld could a city lord be unable to find? city lord had to go to the Yang World to tie up a woman and bring her back. That was fine, but the key was that this woman didn't want to cooperate. She even needed to force herself to get married.

Anything else? Green Jade Ghost King's expression had already turned cold.

There's nothing else. This subordinate will take his leave. The Green Jade Ghost King looked at the servant fearfully, and quickly retreated from the room.

And on the other side, Chen Tao had finally entered the inner city of Nether Capital with Liu Er's help.

Once he entered the inner city, Chen Tao could clearly feel the difference between the two. When the surrounding Ghost Soldier looked at him, they felt that something was wrong. Although Chen Tao was pretending to be the lowest level of danger wandering soul and he had permission to enter the inner city. However, these Ghost Soldier still looked at them as if they were looking at their enemies, full of vigilance.

Chen Tao understood in his heart, this obviously did not mean that these Ghost Soldier had already discovered his identity. It was just the vigilance a well-trained Ghost Soldier should have.

My lord … Don't touch randomly! " Seeing Chen Tao looking around randomly like Grandma Liu entering a big garden, Liu Er who was behind Chen Tao started to sweat profusely.

In order to satisfy Chen Tao's wish to glance at the city lord from afar, Liu Er didn't hesitate to use his hardest relationship. Who knew how much money he had given to a little field officer in order to follow him into the inner city?

Looking at the eyes of the surrounding Ghost Soldier that were filled with killing intent, Liu Er finally became a little more clear-headed. He had been possessed by a ghost before, how could he have agreed to bring this bumpkin into the inner city?

Different from Liu Er, the field officer smiled when he saw Chen Tao's actions. He was afraid that Chen Tao would be too serious, because such a person was the scariest.

Halt. Just as they were about to enter the inner city gates, someone stopped the three of them. What are you three doing? "

The field officer cupped his hands to the man guarding the gate, then took out an identity token and handed it over to him: I am the field officer who participated in the city lord's wedding feast, the two people behind are the servants who came to help.

The gatekeeper carefully checked the field officer's token. There was no problem. But after looking at Chen Tao and Liu Er, he frowned and said: Are these two servants servants? Why would I follow you in when I am not in your charge?

The field officer lightly coughed and said to the guard, This is a long story. Before, there were two servants. Because some things cannot be done now, the steward of the inner city entrusted me with finding another two servants outside the city."

The gatekeepers naturally wouldn't believe the words that were used to deceive children. If they really were servants, how could they possibly look for these two? A wandering soul with almost zero intelligence, and a little goatee who didn't look like a good person at all?

Today was the day that the city lord was overjoyed, finding these two people to be servants, wasn't that adding fuel to the fire?

The commanding officer also knew that it was time to reveal his price. The field officer casually placed his hand on his armor, stretched out five fingers, and then tapped his armor three times.

Forget about the captain, even the surrounding Ghost Soldier were staring at him blankly. Five thousand bills? Was he making fun of them? Letting these two people in could earn so much?

Looking at the gatekeeper's appearance, the field officer found it funny. When Liu Er came to look for him previously, the price he offered had also caused him to reveal such a shocked expression.

The field officer had no choice but to do what he did just now.

Gu dong.

All of the Ghost Soldier swallowed their saliva, as they looked at Chen Tao in a different light. This was a living Bodhisattva that was trying to save a life.

Cough, cough. Since it's a new errand boy, then let's hurry up and go in. city lord's wedding feast is about to begin, don't delay any longer. " The guard spoke with righteousness.

Thank you very much. The field officer smiled and cupped his hands towards the Ghost Soldier guards, then swaggered in with two people behind him.

Phew, finally you came in. You scared me. I thought we were going to die there when those people stared at us. " Liu Er patted his chest.

You think you're safe after you come in? I'll tell you guys, just stay by my side and look at city lord from afar. Don't do anything rude. If I find out what you did wrong, I'll be the first to destroy you. The field officer began to speak harshly to the two of them. He had taken responsibility for letting the two in. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't nervous.

Yes yes yes, we are relatives, how can you not be worried about the people I bring? Liu Er also didn't know what kind of relationship he had with the field officer, but he started to get closer to him.

Chen Tao did not care about the two people, but rather, looked at the structure inside.

The scene of the wedding was very interesting. It looked like a colosseum in ancient Rome, with many different classes.

As Chen Tao and the others were all field officers, they were ranked at the outermost circle. Inside, every circle that they passed by would have a higher level.

Chen Tao counted a total of six laps. In other words, if he were to rush down from here to the center and bring Zhao Xue down, he would want to break through five layers of defense. The further he went in, the harder it would be to deal with him.

Chen Tao laughed bitterly, it was no wonder that he had investigated such water before, it was because the stadium was designed like this. Unless there was a rebellion within the general's circle, anyone who wanted to cause trouble would have to go through the general's circle.

I'm a bit tired from standing, so I want to take a seat. Chen Tao said to Liu Er.

The field officer looked at Chen Tao impatiently and said, Scram to the back and sit on the ground.

Liu Er thought that Chen Tao would be angry, but Chen Tao just nodded and obediently walked to the back and sat his butt on the ground.

Woo woo ~

At this moment, the band in the middle began to play. Everyone stood up and started to rush forward. They all knew that the wedding banquet had begun.

A group of guards of honor walked out from the door. They were a group of Ghost Soldier s who looked extremely handsome and sturdy, wearing bright black profound armor, with a uniform long blade around their waists.

Alright! The stadium boiled over with all sorts of cheers.

Behind this group of Ghost Soldier, there was a group of female servants with all kinds of boxes in their hands. Each and every one of these servant girls were beautiful, suitable for the white dress they wore, making a clear contrast with the Ghost Soldier s before them. One firm and one soft, the deduction was perfectly done.

F * ck, he sure knows how to enjoy jade. With so many beautiful female ghosts, I'm afraid that all of the beautiful female ghosts in our city have been screened, right? " There were 15 people sitting on the general's seat, and the one speaking looked clean and white, but the words that came out were very rude.

Old Meng, shut your mouth. If this news were to spread to the ears of the City Lord, you would not be able to bear the consequences. Sitting next to old Meng was a scholar. Unlike the other fourteen generals, he wasn't wearing a general's armor. Rather, he wore a long robe and sat there like a military advisor. Beside him, there was also a fairy-like servant girl serving him with water and tea.

The old Meng, after being spoken to by the white-robed scholar, could only twitch his mouth and find it difficult to speak.

In the Underworld, power was everything. And yet, a monster like the white-robed scholar had appeared in the city.

The scholar's name was Luo Han, and if one were to talk about strength, no one had ever seen him fight. However, he had a brave and fierce Ghost Soldier under his command, called the White Haired Army. To put it bluntly, if the White Haired Army really fought with other people, the other fourteen generals' Ghost Soldier might not even be able to defeat them.

This was also the reason why Luo Han was dressed like this and could sit here. This was also the reason why he had maids to serve him by his side.

Please bride and groom! Just as everyone was discussing about the Ghost Soldier and the servant girl that had appeared earlier, the host on stage shouted loudly, pulling at his own throat.

Everyone's attention was attracted to the wedding door.

Crack crack crack.

The heavy wedding door slowly opened. Green Jade Ghost King Liu Qing who wore a black robe with gold stripes and Zhao Xue who similarly wore a black wedding robe also slowly walked out.

Alright! Another round of applause.

In the Yin World, black was the symbol of celebration. Therefore, when the two of them appeared, it was as if they were a match made in heaven with their temperaments.

Puppet Technique? Looking at the awkward steps of the bride, Old Meng couldn't help but grin and say, I heard that city lord kidnapped a girl from the Yang World to get married. Now, it seems that this is really the case, hahaha.

Luo Han wrinkled his brow, took a sip from the wine bowl before he stood up, and said nothing.

Our city lord's hobbies are really unique. Do you mean to eat this girl from the Yang World after she gets on her? Another general's brain was opened wide as he spoke some obscenities, causing the other generals to laugh out loud with ill intentions.

After Chen Tao had arranged everything, he walked to the front and squeezed together with the group of field officers to look at the situation.

Puppetry can control a person's behavior, but not his emotions. could feel deep despair and unwillingness from Zhao Xue's eyes that were filled with tears.

Drink this cup of wine and you will be a member of my Liu family. Liu Qing picked up a cup of wedding wine from the tray and handed it over to Zhao Xue.

Although Zhao Xue was extremely unwilling, she still reached out uncontrollably for the wine cup and was about to drink it all in one gulp.

CHAPTER 105 - SNATCH

Now!

Chen Tao's hand moved, and an incantation appeared in his heart. A gentle ray of light suddenly emitted from Zhao Xue's abdomen, enveloping his entire body.

Zhao Xue was surprised to find that she could now control her own body.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Xue directly smashed the wine cup in her hand towards Liu Qing's face. Although she didn't know why she could suddenly move again, she wanted to use her actual actions to show that she wouldn't give in.

Liu Qing was caught unprepared by the sudden turn of events. Although he managed to avoid the wine cup, the wine in the glass still wet his shoulders.

Bastard! Liu Qing was furious, he extended his hand wanting to grab hold of Zhao Xue's neck.

Swish!

Zhao Xue disappeared!

The surrounding ghosts burst into an uproar. Could it be that this bride was an expert at hiding her abilities? To be able to disappear right under the nose of city lord, his cultivation must not be low!

This? What's going on? Old Meng was confused. Looking at the sudden turn of events, he couldn't react at all.

It's a teleportation array. His cold gaze turned towards the outermost circle of military officers. While everyone's attention was focused on the wine cup, Luo Han felt a trace of strange spirit energy fluctuations. However, the ripples were too minute and the duration was too short, so he had no time to confirm.

Madam city lord is here!

Zhao Xue felt her vision blur, and then she felt someone holding onto her waist.

It's me. Just as Zhao Xue was about to struggle with all her might, hearing Chen Tao's voice, it seemed as if all the strength in her body had been sucked away as she softly fell into Chen Tao's embrace. She couldn't hold back the tears that she had been
