Chapter 242: I Have No Reason to Let You Go!
Seeing that Lin Xuan had pardoned Jiang Yuqing, Zhou Shuang immediately knelt on the ground.
“Your Highness, I killed Zhao Yuhu because I couldn’t stand his incompetence!”
“I just lost my senses. Please forgive me!”
Lin Xuan’s terrifying divine sense was extremely powerful. To ghost cultivators, it was their natural nemesis.
Even if Lin Xuan didn’t attack, Zhou Shuang was still treading on thin ice under the envelopment of his divine sense.
!!
Therefore, she understood very well that as long as she dared to be disrespectful, she would instantly be destroyed by Lin Xuan and die without a burial place!
Seeing Zhou Shuang’s pitiful and charming expression, Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Yuqing indifferently and said, “You’re different from her.”
How could he not tell that Zhou Shuang was pretending to be pitiful?
She wanted to gain his sympathy and make him let her off like he did to Jiang Yuqing?
“…” Zhou Shuang was so frightened that her body trembled slightly.
What Lin Xuan meant was that he could pardon Jiang Yuqing but not Zhou Shuang.
Zheng Chixia couldn’t help but sneer.
A mere ghost cultivator dared to put on an act in front of the Consort?
Had it ever occured to her that the Consort was Empress Mystic Ice’s man?
After he had seen that kind of beauty, how could he take a vulgar female ghost cultivator seriously?
Lin Xuan looked down at Zhou Shuang with a meaningful gaze. “Are you from the Red House?”
With the Absolute Mystic Sutra, Lin Xuan learned that there was once a very huge ghost cultivator sect in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
It was called the Red House!
It was rumored that their founder was a Yin G.o.d with a terrifying background. He was one of the eight generals under the Yin Heaven.
The cultivation technique that the Red House ghostly cultivators most commonly used to devour ghosts was the “Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring” technique.
Therefore, from Zhou Shuang’s attack, Lin Xuan had long determined her ident.i.ty.
Zhou Shuang was terrified. She didn’t expect Lin Xuan to even know the sect she belonged to.
It had been more than 30,000 years since the Red House disappeared from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
Lin Xuan was so young, but he saw through her ident.i.ty at a glance. This deeply shocked Zhou Shuang.
She rejected the idea of betraying the sect behind her.
However, when she saw Lin Xuan’s bright eyes that contained mysterious and terrifying divine power, she didn’t dare to lie at all.
“You’re wise, Consort. I’m from the Red House!” Zhou Shuang lowered her head.
Zheng Chixia was shocked to hear her words.
The Red House had long been infamous to their Ghost Hunting Sect.
Unexpectedly, after tens of thousands of years, the Red House actually appeared again!
“Why did you suddenly appear after being silent for so long?” Lin Xuan asked.
Zhou Shuang’s heart had already been crushed by Lin Xuan, so she could only say truthfully,
“Ever since the Ancestral Grandmaster established his sect in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, we have always wanted to occupy the Nine Heavens.”
“The spiritual energy here is like a spring. If we can make this place a new h.e.l.l, it will definitely be a paradise for all us ghostly cultivators!”
Lin Xuan smiled playfully. “According to my understanding, more than thirty thousand years ago, your sect was besieged by the righteous forces of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and had no choice but to hide.”
“It seems like you’re very confident in making a comeback this time to wipe the slate clean!”
“That was indeed the case.” Zhou Shuang nodded. “But now, I feel that our sect master miscalculated!”
As a quasi Emperor Realm ghostly cultivator, she was like an ant in front of Lin Xuan. Zhou Shuang didn’t even dare to think about this before.
Lin Xuan’s strength had already exceeded her understanding.
As an outer sect elder of the Red House, she had also seen the current sect master’s strength.
She felt that compared to Lin Xuan, her sect master was still much inferior.
So as long as Lin Xuan was around, it would definitely be difficult to achieve the Red House’s goal of dominating the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!
Zheng Chixia nodded silently. She thought that Zhou Shuang must have realized how terrifying Lin Xuan was to say such a thing.
“Tell me, where is your sect now?” Lin Xuan asked.
Zhou Shuang said, “In order to annex the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm in one go, our sect master has been very cautious.”
“Although I’m an outer sect elder, I don’t know the true location of the sect.”
“Currently, I’m following the inner sect elders. I originally wanted to silently harm the countries of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but I didn’t expect to be exposed.”
With that, she looked at Jiang Yuqing resentfully.
If not for Jiang Yuqing’s appearance, her ident.i.ty as a ghostly cultivator wouldn’t have been exposed.
Then, under Lin Xuan’s intimidation, she said the location of the inner sect elders.
“It’s Luo Yang Lake, which is 100,000 kilometers east of the Flickering Light Mountain Range.” Lin Xuan remembered this address.
The Flickering Light Mountain Range was outside North Mystic Heaven.
As for Luo Yang Lake, it happened to be between North Mystic Heaven and Crimson Nimbus Heaven. It was perfect for the ghostly cultivators of the Red House to harm the countries of both worlds at the same time.
“Consort, I’ve already told you everything I know. Please let me off!” Zhou Shuang pleaded.
Lin Xuan said coldly, “The Liufeng Kingdom is North Mystic Heaven’s territory. You harmed it, so I have no reason to let you off.”
With that, he conjured a Five Elements Thunder Art and forcefully sealed Zhou Shuang’s cultivation.
“Take her away.”
A quasi Emperor Realm ghostly cultivator like Zhou Shuang was definitely a rare treasure to a sect like the Mao Mountain Sect.
Lin Xuan believed that whether he refined Zhou Shuang or used her for other purposes, it would bring huge benefits to the Mao Mountain Sect.
“Thank you, Consort!” Zheng Chixia beamed with happiness. He thought to himself that there were really many benefits to following the Consort.
Then, he took out a special spirit artifact and locked Zhou Shuang up.
Seeing Lin Xuan leave, Zheng Chixia said to Jiang Yuqing,
“Your fate was tragic when you were alive, but it’s your blessing to meet the Consort after you died.”
“Leave your body now and go to the netherworld. I will protect you along the way until you enter the netherworld.”
“Thank you, Daoist Master!”
Jiang Yuqing bowed respectfully and looked in the direction of the door. She muttered, “I’ll repay your kindness in my next life!”
With that, she knelt outside the door and her soul left her body to enter the netherworld.
After helping her reach the Netherworld safely, Zheng Chixia went out. “Consort, it’s done.”
“Yes.” Lin Xuan then prepared to head to the Luo Yang Lake outside the Flickering Light Mountain Range according to the address Zhou Shuang provided.
Zheng Chixia followed behind Lin Xuan excitedly.
The inner sect elder of the Red Tower was definitely a rare ghostly cultivator powerhouse.
Zheng Chixia had never encountered such a powerful existence in his life.
Today, following behind Lin Xuan, he finally had the chance to feast his eyes. How could he not be happy?
…
The Flickering Light Mountain Range was outside North Mystic Heaven.
As for Luo Yang Lake, it was on the east of the Flickering Light Mountain Range, between North Mystic Heaven and Crimson Nimbus Heaven.
At this moment, five kilometers away from Luo Yang Lake, a black ghostly figure stuck to the ground and quickly advanced in the direction of Luo Yang Lake.
A loud shout suddenly sounded in the air.
“Do you think you can escape?”
A golden figure suddenly blocked in front of the black phantom.
“Golden Sun Sword Technique!”
Meng Anqing held a longsword that flashed with lightning and pierced it through the phantom’s chest.
After putting away the sword, Meng Anqing walked to the front of the phantom’s corpse.
He took a closer look and realized that the other party was a young woman.
However, in the blink of an eye, this young woman’s body quickly turned black and finally turned into a pile of black ashes that fell to the ground.
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t find out which ghostly cultivator sect she was from.”
Meng Anqing couldn’t help but sigh.
This time, in the Crimson Nimbus Heaven, the king had his blood essence sucked dry overnight and became a dried corpse.
As the Sect Master of the Golden Sun Sect, one of the four great Ghost Hunting Sects of Crimson Nimbus Heaven, he personally went out and traced the source to this female ghost cultivator.
As he chased after the female ghostly cultivator, she was about to escape his pursuit.
Meng Anqing had no choice but to kill her with his sect’s secret technique.
Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, he didn’t have the time to interrogate this female ghost about her background.
“So Sect Master Meng is also here.”
At this moment, a green-robed middle-aged man landed on the wind and looked straight at Meng Anqing.
