Chapter 1869 Flower Ghost Queen (1)
?1869 Flower Ghost Queen (1)
Instantly, terrifying flames and frightening lightning sparks burst out of Yun Lintian's body, setting all the red strings around him on fire.
The scary-faced ghost cowered when he saw this scene. "What a terrifying power!"
Only now did he realize how fortunate he was to have escaped Yun Lintian's grasp back then.
The woman in red exerted more strength, and several additional red strings immediately appeared in the air, enclosing Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly when he discovered he couldn't continue burning these seemingly endless strings.
He waved his hand, and the other six swords instantly appeared around him. With a flick of his hand, the seven swords exuded a powerful aura and surged toward the woman in red.
Ripp—
The swords cut through all the red strings in their paths and arrived in front of the woman.
However, before the seven swords could attack the woman, another set of red strings suddenly shot out of her body and wrapped around the swords, immobilizing them in place.
Yun Lintian was shocked to discover that the connections between him and the seven swords were actually suppressed. It made him unable to control the swords any longer.
In that split second, the scary-faced ghost took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Its hand suddenly extended toward Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian's expression changed dramatically. He was about to activate the Shadow Step to avoid it, but a few red strings surprisingly emerged from the ground and wrapped around his legs, preventing him from moving.
Bang!
The ghost's hand ruthlessly smashed into Yun Lintian's chest. Yun Lintian felt as though a heavily loaded truck had rammed into him. His entire body shook violently, and a sharp pain surged to his head.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The scary-faced ghost thought Yun Lintian was curious about the woman's identity. He explained. "Her name is Hun Yin[1]. She is my lord's most trusted aide. Alas. Her fate was not good while she was alive. Her husband cheated on her on their wedding night. When she found out, he and his mistress ended up killing her."
Yun Lintian looked at the ghost with surprise. He didn't know if the ghost was foolish to discuss the woman's backstory here.
"You don't have to worry. Except for the mission given by my lord, she won't care about anything else." The scary-faced ghost could sense Yun Lintian's doubt.
"By the way, my name is Lai He. What about you?"
"Lin Yun." Yun Lintian responded. "Why would your lord want to see me?"
The scary-faced ghost, Lai He, shook his head vigorously. "No idea. I have been tasked with searching for a powerful ghost like you for a few years now."
"So, you wanted to kill me back then?" Yun Lintian asked with a faint smile.
Lai He shuddered. He shook his head hurriedly. "No, no. How could I dare to violate my lord's rules? I wanted to take you out of the nether storm."
Yun Lintian stared at Lai He for a while, clearly not believing his excuse. He asked. "Rules?"
"My lord is a benevolent queen. She always shows kindness to the ordinary ghosts in her territory. She prohibited us from bullying them. All of you ghosts should be grateful for her kindness." Lai He said proudly.
Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. Before this, he had been skeptical about the Flower Ghost Queen, but now he believed in it a little more. It seemed that she was indeed a rare kind ghost.
"I heard that something happened to her." Yun Lintian probed.
Lai He's face darkened. "Those bastards from the Eastern Region used despicable means to harm her..."
Lai He stopped talking halfway through when he sensed a murderous intent from Hun Yin.
Yun Lintian didn't ask any further questions. It turned out that the Flower Ghost Queen was injured, as everyone had guessed.
The three of them flew for a few hours until they arrived at a towering mountain adorned with various colorful flowers.
The long journey made Yun Lintian realize the vastness of the Netherworld. It actually took him many hours to get here with the middle-god's speed.
"We have arrived."
