Chapter 67 The Ghost King Appears
Shu Xuantan followed Wei Jiang after he got off the Luan chariot, looking in the direction of the Galing Pagoda with his faint eyes.
A wisp of black energy shot straight into the sky, heading towards Rajagaha.
"What is that?" The maid's eyes widened in surprise, pointing to a dark mist on the horizon.
Wei Jiang also noticed something strange at this time. She quickly looked at Shu Xuantan, and the black energy surrounded him consciously, as if it wanted to devour him.
Shu Xuantan's body glowed with golden light, and a huge golden bell covered him. The moment the black energy hit it, it was scattered.
Wei Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
She shook off the maid's hand behind her and staggered to Shu Xuantan's side, "Are you okay?"
The bead ornaments on Wei Jiang's body had long been blown off by the wind, and her high bun had been blown away and hung down, leaving only a golden phoenix hairpin and a hibiscus flower on her head.
Without the complicated pearls and jade jewelry, her whole person has a simple beauty with all her beauty gone.
"It's the Ghost King." Shu Xuantan's helpless voice came from the wind.
"Since before the construction of the city of Rajagaha, he has been suppressed under the Galling Pagoda. Now that he has burst out of the top of the tower, he may take revenge on the entire royal city."
"Princess, please order everyone to leave."
Shu Xuantan's gentle voice hit Wei Jiang's heart with each sentence, so heavy that she could not breathe.
"Is it because I took the Wangshe Ancient Pearl?"
That's why the Ghost King broke through the seal and escaped from Galing Tower.
Wei Jiang felt extremely remorseful. She looked at the people of Wangsha City who were fleeing in all directions due to the violent sand and stones, with crystal tears hanging on their beautiful faces.
"Is there any way to stop the Ghost King?" Wei Jiang asked.
Shu Xuantan raised his hand and wiped away her tears with a soft voice, "Princess, just return the Wangshe Ancient Pearl to me. I will take care of the rest."
It is his duty to suppress the evil ghosts under the Galing Pagoda. He will use all his strength to suppress the ghost king again.
Wei Jiang cried so hard that she didn't expect that Shu Xuantan, who had always been indifferent, would comfort her at this time.
Wei Jiang let go of Shu Xuantan's hand and said sincerely, "I will give the Wangshe Ancient Pearl to you, just wait for me."
"I believe in the princess." Shu Xuantan's voice was still calm.
The black energy on the Galing Pagoda continued to leak out, and soon condensed into a tall black shadow, which gradually took on the shape of a human. He laughed wildly, and his voice covered the entire royal city.
"After a thousand years, the Galing Tower will no longer be able to trap me!" He formed claws with his five fingers, squeezed the air, and the top of the tower suddenly exploded.
The Jialing Pagoda was shattered, and the next one was Shuxuantan, who had been chanting Buddhist sutras in his ears all day long. The ghost king came from the sky, and the ghost energy in the sky was like dark clouds pressing down on the city.
Even if it was just a memory, Fu Zhu could feel the pressure of the Ghost King. He was stronger than Wei Jiang today.
He was so strong that the Fuzhu could not detect his strength. If she faced the Ghost King from a thousand years ago, she would have no chance of winning.
Shu Xuantan must have used the Wangshe Ancient Pearl to destroy the Ghost King. She will soon be able to see what the legendary Wangshe Ancient Pearl looks like.
Shu Xuantan stood in front of the Ghost King, and his whole body glowed with golden-white light. The light was like a flower, but also like the stars and the moon, driving away the ghost energy around him.
He pressed his lips together and recited a small incantation. A green lotus array was formed, trapping the ghost king's steps.
The cold voice sounded, with a bit of contempt, "You don't think that your small magic circle can trap me, do you?"
Shu Xuantan's expression did not change, and he just said softly: "I will use the Wangshe Ancient Pearl to seal you again so that you will never have the opportunity to do evil."
"Hahahaha, Wangshe Ancient Pearl?" The Ghost King laughed mockingly, and suddenly his tone changed, becoming more and more public, "There are no Wangshe Ancient Pearls in this world!"
Shu Xuantan frowned slightly, having a bad feeling in his heart.
The talisman bead was also startled. Is there no Wangshe ancient bead? So how did Shu Xuantan destroy the ghost king, and why did people come to Wangshe ancient city one after another to look for it.
"Hiji, do you know what is going on?"
Fu Zhu turned around, only to find that the hibiscus flower man who had been following him had disappeared.
"Who said there are no Wangshe Ancient Pearls in the world anymore..." Wei Jiang's weak voice suddenly sounded, she smiled palely and walked towards Shu Xuantan.
Riji kept following her, trying to reach out to cover her bleeding chest, but the blood flowed more and more, to no avail.
"The ancient beads from the Wangshe family that I promised you... I will return them to you, Shu Xuantan. I didn't lie to you. On your wedding day, I will return the ancient beads from the Wangshe family to you." Wei Jiang's voice was broken.
He opened his hand and found a bloody relic lying in his palm.
Ghost King Zhang Yang's laughter suddenly stopped, and he suddenly became angry, "Wei Jiang! You didn't hesitate to gouge out the heart to take out the Wangshe Ancient Pearl, and you betrayed me again!"
A confused look appeared in Wei Jiang's eyes. What does it mean to betray him again? She has never had any contact with this ghost king.
The blood in her heart was flowing more and more, and Wei Jiang's vision was a little dark. While she was still conscious, she placed the relic in Shu Xuantan's hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have to drag you into helping me solve this mess...
"
Wei Jiang's body suddenly fell down, like a hibiscus flower falling from a branch, both beautiful and sad.
A drop of tear suddenly fell from Shu Xuan Tan's calm face.
This was the only tear he shed in his life.
Warmth, sadness, regret, sadness, all kinds of emotions are mixed together.
The Ghost King in the Qinglian Formation was also silent for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it was this ending again.
"Why? Why are you still seeking death after a thousand years? Wei Jiang!" The ghost king roared angrily, and the ghost energy became more and more intense, covering the entire Wangha city.
Fu Zhu could only see the golden light on Shu Xuantan's body. He put down Wei Jiang and cast a spell with one hand to drive the Wang She Ancient Pearl into the sky above the Qinglian Formation. The originally precarious formation was instantly reinforced.
The golden light above his head shines all over his body.
The Ghost King let out a shrill scream, and then laughed even more crazily, "Shu Xuantan, you actually gave me the Wangshe Ancient Pearl with your own hands. What happened a thousand years ago will never happen again."
A huge hand broke through the Green Lotus Array and grabbed the Wangshe Ancient Pearl. Shu Xuantan frowned. What on earth did this ghost king want to do? He actually took the initiative to touch the Wangshe Ancient Pearl.
The light of the Wangshe Ancient Pearl gradually weakened, and most of the ghost energy on the Ghost King's body was purified by the Ancient Pearl, revealing his true body.
He was a handsome man in black clothes, but his dead-white face was covered with ghost lines, which made him look a bit scary.
The Wangshe ancient bead was clinging to ghost energy, its light was getting darker and darker, and Shu Xuantan's heart sank.
The strength of this ghost king is so strong that even the ancient beads of Wang She are useless against him.
"Give me Wei Jiang's body!" The man in black held the Wangshe Ancient Pearl in one hand, his eyes fixed on Wei Jiang's body.
Shu Xuantan subconsciously stood in front of Wei Jiang, "Don't even think about it."
Shu Xuantan has only been practicing Taoism for more than twenty years, so he is no match for the Thousand-year-old Ghost King. Even if he is injured by the Wangshe Ancient Pearl, his strength cannot be underestimated.
The ghost energy broke through his golden bell, climbed up Shu Xuantan's body, and strangled his neck.
"Lord Shu Xuantan!" Riji shouted.
