C19

Chen Ran and I looked at each other in surprise, and did not react for a moment. After a few seconds, Chen Ran's voice pierced the silent night, "Ghost." I immediately covered his mouth and glared at him. I warned him in a low voice, "Do you want to wake up the nearby residents? If the ghost doesn't catch me by then, I'll just be caught as a madman." Chen Ran silently nodded his head, and then I released him.

The sound of the bell was still continuing, and it was getting more and more urgent. I felt the surrounding ghost aura gradually becoming stronger, the temperature in the room had suddenly dropped, waves of cold air were sucked in from outside, and outside, the cold wind was blowing hard. I heard the rustling of the leaves, and it sounded a bit like a person's laughter.

I indicated for Chen Ran to cover his ears to not listen to this sound. After a while, the ghastly wailing symphony ended, and I did not dare to relax. Holding the peach wood sword tightly, I looked at the door vigilantly.

"You smelly Taoists, why aren't you giving up? You can't catch us, hehehe." The ghostly voice in front of me sounded like it belonged to a man, perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old.

"I'm not a Taoist, I'm different from those charlatans." I had to remind them that I hated comparing me to those deceptive Taoists the most. I was officially certified, and I was registered as the psychic envoy of the Underworld. This was my bottom line.

"So what? Aren't you still going to obediently enter our stomachs? The last time we consumed living people was a long time ago. Since you delivered yourself to our doorstep, then we won't be polite anymore." The ghost man's voice was a little sharp. According to what we said, he was still in the period of change in voice, not having a deep male voice, and instead had a feminine charm to it. Especially when he spoke in a weird tone, it sounded like he was neither a man nor a woman.

I said irritably, "Then try it." As I spoke, I took out several Body Securing Talismans and flew towards the ghosts, but they were too fast, and there were too many of them. I had flown so many of them, and only one of them had been successfully held down, and the ghost beside him wanted to help him tear the talismans off. I muttered an incantation, and the hand of the ghost that was reaching towards the talismans instantly turned green with smoke, and a hole was burned through it.

Suddenly, a ghost took advantage of the time that I wasn't paying attention to quickly kidnap Chen Ran. I grabbed onto the corner of Chen Ran's clothes, and when one of the ghosts arrived next to me, his fingernails quickly grew, and then embedded into my arms. I felt the pain of his flesh being pulled apart, and when Chen Ran saw it, he shouted, "Yu Xing, let go, remember to burn some paper money for me next year."

I twisted my wrist and used the peach wood sword to cut off my nails and pulled them out. I was sweating profusely from the pain and said to Chen Ran with a smile, "Even if Hades wants to accept you, he has to ask if I agree to it." Chen Ran was a little stunned. I threw out a fire curse, and after the fire curse touched his hand, it ignited. Chen Ran let go of the spell, and he immediately grabbed onto my hand with a face full of pain.

I looked at the wound that was bleeding profusely, and grabbed a handful of runes to block it. Chen Ran organized me, "It's not like that even if you want to stop the bleeding." I said weakly, "My blood is a good thing. I can't waste it." Then I used the last of my strength to form a barrier around us, surrounded by blood-soaked runes. The ghosts were attacking us from outside, but they weren't able to break through it yet.

The wound on my hand kept bleeding, and the blood gradually turned dark red. After that, it turned completely black, and the flesh around the wound also started to turn black. Damn, corpse poison, why is this ghost so abnormal?

Along with the loss of more and more blood, my consciousness started to blur. Chen Ran hugged me in panic, and I looked at him apologetically. "Sorry, I can't help you anymore." Chen Ran's tears fell on my face and he shook his head. Just when I felt that I was about to fall asleep, I saw a red voice coming from outside the door. I finally closed my eyes and fainted.

When I woke up again, I was already on the bed of the King Nether Palace. Looking at my arm that was perfectly fine, I smiled in satisfaction. I sat on the bed, feeling very confused.

After an unknown period of time, the door was pushed open and Bai Jing slowly walked in. He didn't look too good, so I smiled at him. He pretended not to see me and continued to pull at his face. I ignored him. The atmosphere instantly froze.
