After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

The ghosts around saw Chi Heng being scared away and hurried over to him.

"You guys are really amazing. Even Chi Heng, who has such high martial arts skills, was scared away by you."

"Uncle Zhong, we still failed to catch him this time, so you have to wait a few more days." Long Jiaojiao was very sorry.

"It doesn't matter. As long as Chi Heng is afraid of you, we still have hope."

"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded hurriedly.

"Since Chi Heng escaped today, let's all go back first. No matter what, the man in black has been eliminated, and the only enemy we will face in the future is Chi Heng." Uncle Zhong turned his head to look at everyone and raised his hands to signal everyone to go home temporarily.

"Miss Long, we will go back first. We will have to trouble you three with Chi Heng's matter." Uncle Zhong turned around and looked at Long Jiaojiao very politely.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhong, we will find a way to capture Chi Heng."

"Okay, let's go." After saying that, Uncle Zhong led the little boy into the crowd.

"Long'er, what should we do next?" Mei Xichen asked softly as he watched the crowd go away.

"We failed to catch Chi Heng this time and he has become cautious. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again. I didn't say it in front of everyone just now, but I think after this time, Chi Heng will not be willing to meet us again." Long Jiaojiao frowned. She seemed to be worried about something happening.

"Let's go back to the big locust tree and discuss it."

After the three of them arrived at the big locust tree, they began to discuss how to lure Chi Heng out.

"In my opinion, Chi Heng will come out sooner or later. Why don't we just stay here and fight him to the death once we find him?"

"Shu Rong, it's easy for you to say that. Didn't you see how quickly Chi Heng escaped? Can we catch up with him?" Mei Xichen smiled contemptuously.

"Then what do you say we should do? It's not like we haven't looked for him in the palace. We don't even know where he's hiding."

"The only thing we can be sure of now is that he will come out. By the way, what do you think he is doing by absorbing so many souls? Is he practicing some kind of martial arts or maintaining his life?" Mei Xichen raised a question.

"Why do you care why? Just think of him as being hungry and needing to eat. He must eat. He can't survive without eating." Shu Rong's unintentional teasing reminded Long Jiaojiao.

"Shu Rong, you said that Chi Heng would never hold a sacrificial ceremony again. If he is really hungry as you said, he may eat the ghosts at any time. At least he did it at a fixed time and place before. But if he really goes crazy, the consequences will be disastrous, right?"

As soon as Long Jiaojiao finished speaking, miserable screams of ghosts were heard in the distance. A large number of ghosts ran away in fear, and the whole street turned into hell in an instant.

"What's going on? Let's go down and take a look." After saying that, Long Jiaojiao jumped off the locust tree, followed closely by Mei and Shu.

Long Jiaojiao spotted Uncle Zhong who was running in the front. She hurried forward and asked, "Uncle Zhong, what happened? Why are you running?"

Uncle Zhong stopped walking when he saw Long Jiaojiao and the others. He said breathlessly to Long Jiaojiao, "Miss Long, Chi Heng just ran out and caught us. He has devoured many ghosts. Aren't we hiding somewhere?"

Mei Xichen looked behind him and saw that Chi Heng was indeed chasing these ghosts, devouring them all regardless of their age.

"Run quickly, we are here." Mei Xichen stood in front of Uncle Zhong and pulled the ghost behind him.

At this time, Chi Heng came in front of Mei Xichen and the other two. His cold eyes made people feel chilled.

The circles around his eyes were black, his eyeballs were red and bloodshot, and the veins on his arms were bulging as if some serious illness was taking effect.

He roared loudly at Mei Xichen to scare them away, but he didn't expect the three men to separate him and the ghosts motionlessly, forming a human wall.

"I advise you to mind your own business." Chi Heng's voice was low and stern, as if he was threatening the three of them.

"If you want us to mind our own business, you have to defeat us first." Long Jiaojiao took a step forward, staring at Chi Heng with angry eyes.

When Chi Heng saw Long Jiaojiao take a step forward, the ferocious expression on his face disappeared instantly, and his tone became gentle instead.

"What's your name? I left in a hurry that day and forgot to ask you?"

"Long Jiaojiao."

"Well, what a nice name. The two men beside you are your men, right? You must have many outstanding qualities to have two such handsome men risking their lives for you."

"Chi Heng, stop talking nonsense here. Do you dare to fight again?" Shu Rong walked forward angrily and shouted.

"Well, you don't want me to hurt these ghosts anymore. I can agree to this, but I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Long Jiaojiao asked.

"Long'er, don't listen to him. Be careful of traps." Mei Xichen reminded from the side.

"What can I do? I devoured their souls just to practice and make myself stronger."

"However, I have found a better way now. Just follow me." Chi Heng pointed at Long Jiaojiao.

"I told you the other day that the two of us are a good match and we can practice together. This way I won't have to devour these low-level souls anymore. What do you think?" Chi Heng stretched out his right hand towards Long Jiaojiao and looked straight at her.

At this moment, a strange light came out of Chi Heng's eyes, and then Long Jiaojiao involuntarily stretched out her hand and walked towards Chi Heng.

"Long'er, what do you want to see?" Shu Rong watched Long Jiaojiao walk slowly towards Chi Heng.

Long Jiaojiao had lost her consciousness at this time, and she seemed to be controlled by the light released from Chi Heng's eyes.

Shu Rong quickly grabbed her arm to stop her from moving forward.

Maybe Shu Rong was really anxious. She was afraid that Long Jiaojiao would be abducted by Chi Heng, so she quickly took off her shirt.

When Chi Heng saw Shu Rong taking off his shirt, he was afraid that he would hurt himself again, so he stopped his soul-controlling of Long Jiaojiao, turned around, and turned into a ball of black mist and fled.

Mei Xichen patted Long Jiaojiao's shoulder, only to see her fall asleep on the spot.

Mei Xichen hugged her tightly, and the three of them hurried to find a nearby hut to rest for a while.

After about a cup of tea, Long Jiaojiao finally woke up.

She saw herself lying on the bed, with Mei Xichen and Shu Rong sitting beside her, watching over her.

"What's wrong with me?" she asked softly.

"Chi Heng just cast a spell on you and you were almost taken away by him. Fortunately, I scared him away." Shu Rong said very proudly.

"Okay, I know you're great, so why are you so anxious to show off?" Mei Xichen was standing aside, obviously a little jealous.
