Full-time Swordsman

"Report to the Ghost Emperor, Meng Po is not present."

A ghost minister reported truthfully.

Nu Ba looked puzzled and asked, "Where did Meng Po go?"

"I don't know."

Everyone shook their heads, even the ghost cultivators of the Yama clan were unaware.

Just when Nu Ba wanted to mobilize her power to find her, Hou Qing beside her revealed the truth.

"Report to the Ghost Emperor, Meng Po is not from the ghost world. She is the saint of the Penglai Immortal Sect. It's just that after she was seriously injured, her soul was taken away by Ying Gou."

Nu Ba suddenly realized what she said and said, "No wonder she can control the Soul-Calming Tower, but why did she help me?"

This question has always been lingering in Nu Ba's mind, but after the battle, she was seriously injured and dying, so she didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so she could only retreat and heal her injuries.

Hou Qing laughed and said, "I think the one who helped you was not Meng Po, but someone else."

"Who is it?" Nv Ba's eyes lit up, as if she had an answer, but she was not sure.

Hou Qing said, "There is a human sword cultivator in the Soul-Calming Tower. He had some friendship with you, the Empress, in the past. I think it should be him."

Nv Ba was silent for a while, and an inexplicable feeling came to her heart. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Where are Meng Po and him now?"

Hou Qing shook his head and replied, "I don't know about this subordinate, but they are human. When their goal is achieved, they will naturally return to the human world. I think they have left by now."

Nv Ba was slightly distracted. After a while, she recovered and said lightly, "Forget about leaving. The position of King Yama will be re-elected on a certain day. Let's all disperse."

"Yes!" The ghosts dispersed one after another, and soon only Nv Ba was left in the hall.

She sat alone on the throne, looking at the sky outside the hall, as if she had thousands of thoughts, but in the end she just sighed.

....

At the other end, the entrance to the ghost world.

"Elder Xinqin, can we really not get out?"

Lin Jichen looked at the entrance to the ghost world that had been shaken down, wanting to cry but without tears.

Chu Xinqin was also helpless, saying: "The entrance to the ghost world was not only shaken down, but also forcibly closed. Only the four ghost kings have the power to open it. I have no way."

Lin Jichen sighed and said: "Then we can only wait for the entrance to open, and then we can go out."

"This is the only way for now." Chu Xinqin nodded.

Lin Jichen smiled bitterly, pointed at the coffin behind him that was constantly banging, and said, "I can wait, but I'm afraid that the three of them will smash the coffin and run out."

As he said that, Lin Jichen walked forward helplessly and opened the coffin. There were three women lying inside, Chu Hongling, Xiaoqian and Youlian.

The three women hammered the coffin desperately like crazy, and they were still muttering.

"I am the commander of the Soul-Calming Tower! Let me go quickly, otherwise I will send you to the eighteenth level of hell!"

"You haven't woken up yet, you should continue to lie in it."

Lin Jichen had to cover the coffin again after trying to communicate in vain.

Chu Xinqin couldn't help laughing and said, "The three of them drank Mengpo soup and lost their memories. This is reasonable. There will be a way when we return to the human world."

"That's the only way." Lin Jichen found an empty space and sat down.

Just as the two were waiting in boredom, a beautiful figure appeared in front of them silently.

When Chu Xinqin saw this person, her face changed instantly and she immediately stood up and became alert.

"Are you here to hunt us down?"

Nüba replied calmly: "If I wanted to hunt you down, you would have died long ago."

She said lightly: "As human beings, you have trespassed into the ghost world, which is unforgivable, but considering that you have helped this emperor, this matter will be written off and we owe each other nothing."

Chu Xinqin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Thank you, Empress, for showing mercy."

Nüba was serious, but her eyes seemed to glance at Lin Jichen behind Chu Xinqin.

Lin Jichen always sat there, motionless, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Nvba remained calm and said to Chu Xinqin: "Do you want to go out?"

Chu Xinqin nodded and said: "To be honest, I have been trapped in the ghost world by Ying Gou for thousands of years. Now I dream of going back to the human world. Please help us, Queen, open the entrance and let us go back to the human world."

However, Nvba showed a playful smile and asked leisurely: "Are you the only one who wants to go back?"

"Of course not just me."

"Oh? Then why are you the only one who comes to ask me?" Nvba's implication was very obvious.

Chu Xinqin had no choice but to give Lin Jichen a look, indicating that he should give in quickly.

However, Lin Jichen unexpectedly did not express anything, but just closed his eyes and meditated, turning Nvba's words into wind.

Chu Xinqin explained for him with a little embarrassment: "Sorry, he fell asleep."

Nvba was not so easy to fool, she sneered: "Falling asleep? Then I'll just wait for him to wake up."

After saying that, Nüba walked to a distance, found a place to sit down, and then leisurely took out a book to read, not in a hurry at all.

Seeing this, Chu Xinqin had no choice but to walk up to Lin Jichen and whispered: "Xiao Lin, a man who knows the times is a hero, just give in and say a few words to the empress, leaving the ghost world is the top priority."

Lin Jichen finally opened his eyes this time.

Nüba pursed her lips with a smug angle, as if she had won.

However, next, Lin Jichen did not give in at all, but loudly challenged her.

"If we hadn't given you the Soul-Calming Tower, you wouldn't be here today. As a human or a ghost, you should be grateful. But now you are deliberately making things difficult for me. Is this the new emperor of the ghost world? How can he unify the ghost world with such a small mind? I think this new emperor is just like that! It's better to let Ying Gou do it!"

After these words came out, Chu Xinqin was frightened and sweat dripped down her forehead.

She never thought that Lin Jichen would dare to talk to the Supreme of the Ghost World like this.

She clearly remembered that Lin Jichen was not such an impulsive and irrational person. He didn't get so angry when facing Ying Gou.

Why did he have such an attitude when he met Nuba?

Chu Xinqin was puzzled. It was Lin Jichen who asked her to give the Soul-Calming Tower to Nuba before. She thought they must have a good relationship.

But now it seems? This is not good at all, it's like an enemy...

Nu Ba's face darkened, she glared at Lin Ji Chen, and said: "Who do you think is petty!"

Lin Ji Chen said disdainfully: "Who do you think I'm talking about?"

Nu Ba was angry, she stretched out her hand, and Lin Ji Chen appeared in front of her the next second.

Nu Ba pinched his neck and threatened: "Apologize to this emperor!"

Lin Ji Chen's eyes were indifferent, and he said: "What if I don't?"

"Then die." Nu Ba said coldly.

Lin Ji Chen suddenly laughed, and his laughter was full of arrogance and disdain.

Nu Ba felt a little guilty and regretful in this burst of laughter...
