mediately, ripples loosened the right hand that had been clenched into a fist. Inside was a broken red string with a small pearl the size of a thumbprint strung on it. The red string was very worn, cl...After entering the main hall, Ripples did not take another step forward. She stood at an appropriate distance, facing off against the Regent King.

"Hmph! How arrogant, to dare speak so boldly in front of the Prince. You don't want to live, do you"

The concubine in the regent's arms arrogantly said.

Your master hasn't spoken, how can you, a concubine, take charge here on behalf of the lord

The King's legitimate wife refuses to see guests, how can you, someone who isn't even presentable, be shouting here like this

Ripple's expression remained calm as she berated the other without using any vulgar language, cleverly sowing discord and almost causing the beautiful female ghost to reveal her true form.

The lord of the manor seemed visibly displeased. He pushed his concubine away from his arms and said coldly:

Go away! You're not needed here!

"My lord!"

The concubine coquettishly said, in a thousand turns and a hundred twists.

Unfortunately, the Regent didn't even give her a glance. He simply waved his robe and dismissed her, making her leave quickly.

The female ghost glared venomously at Lianyi, then vanished in an instant.

Your companion is still in my hands. You'd best be polite to me, think carefully before you speak again.

The Lord threatened, his heart filled with displeasure.

"Your Majesty, it was because my companion trespassed here that you even had the chance to meet me."

This place makes you powerful, but it also traps you. You can never leave here. All the other ghosts can leave, but you can't.

The ripples' words instantly darkened the ghost king's face, causing black energy to surge around him. In the next moment, he would tear ripples apart.

But I can set you free, take you away from here.

The ripple of the next sentence instantly restored the Ghost King's original handsome and stern features.

What conditions

"I'll send my companions away first, and I will stay to help you leave here."

"What if you lie to me"

"I'm right here. If I were lying, you could kill me, do whatever you want to me. Both you and your wife are Ghost King Realm powerhouses, are you afraid of a little Taoist priest like me"

Ripples smiled and said.

The Ghost King narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Lian'yi for a long time before finally speaking:

"Stay here for now, I need to discuss this with my wife."

"No problem, I just want to meet my companions first during the time Lord Wang is considering."

"Ok."

The Ghost King waved his hand generously.

At this moment, a burly guard strode into the hall. He received his lord's order and took Lianyi to meet those unfortunate archaeologists and soldiers.

The ripples followed the ghost guard, winding their way to the dungeon. Looking at the nearly forty people huddled together, they shook their head helplessly.

These people seem to be in a trance, their facial expressions unreadable, as if trapped by a nightmare.

"Look closely When you're done, leave."

The guard snarled.

I said a couple of words to them, just to make sure they were okay, then I left.

Ringlets smiled sweetly at the guard.

A golden light shot out between their fingers, disappearing directly into the opponent's body. The guard instantly froze in place.

This time, the ripples waved across the railing with a talisman, which was punched into everyone's body. After a moment, these people woke up one after another.

Facing the crowd who still looked a little lost, Lianyi spoke directly:

"I am Wu Lianyi, a Taoist priest from Longhushan Mountain. I was commissioned by Wu Siming and Professor Ma to save you."

"Master Wu, this place is very dangerous. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to save all of us alone."

Long Fu Tianxing immediately said.

"Don't worry about that, I'll make a deal with the Ghost King here and get you out of here. Just be prepared."

Ripple didn't waste words, and directly threw a backpack to Fu Tianxing.

"Inside are compressed rations and water, enough to hold you over until then. Don't touch anything in here, especially the food. You wouldn't want to know what it is."

"Yes!"

Fu Tianxing immediately replied.

Then, open the backpack and distribute food to everyone.

"Master Wu, how are the classmates who came in with us"

The members of the archaeological team felt much calmer upon seeing the ripples and immediately asked their most important question.

"They've all returned to camp, there's no immediate danger. Take care of yourselves."

Only three people were able to receive food and water, wolfing it down. Their backpacks had been lost during their flight, and after three days of hunger, they had reached their limit.

Ripple looked at these people, though somewhat wilted, they hadn't been completely broken by fear. With her amulet protecting them, they should be able to hold on for a while longer.

"Let's go!"

The ripples spoke to the guard.

The burly guard seemed to come back to his senses, feeling like he'd just been in a daze. Then, with ripples in the air, he arrived at an oddly charming courtyard.

Before the ripples could spread, a dignified and beautiful woman arrived with four maidservants.

"You must be the Wangye's wife!"

"Heaven's Master, I am Lady Chen, wife to the Royal Prince."

"I wonder what brings you to see me, madam"

The King said, "You can help us escape from here, you just need to release those who have mistakenly entered here."

"Yes, madam, what else can I do for you I will try my best to fulfill any other requests."

Ripples spoke without meaning.

Chen's dark and bright eyes flashed, and she immediately dismissed the maidservant before saying:

"When the Daoist priest met the prince today, he should have seen a concubine in red, right"

"Indeed, I saw him. He was quite arrogant, attempting to take matters into his own hands for the prince, and was ultimately rebuked."

“My requirements are simple, she cannot leave with us.”

Ripples, after hearing this, smiled and said:

"I can make her soul fly apart, leaving her a hollow shell. That's no problem for me."

Ripple agreed readily, because the red-cloaked female ghost was the one who had worn her original body in her previous life and had deeply loved Mu Xinyan, that love had consumed them both.

As for why she lost her memory and ended up wandering in the human world, it should be related to this tomb excavation.

The two brothers from Longhushan who had their foundation destroyed, are probably the ones who caused the Female Ghost King to lose her memory, that's why the two were carried back to Longhushan.

Because not only is the King here a Ghost King, but this Chen lady is also a Ghost King, and that red-cloaked concubine is also a Ghost King, though her strength is a bit weaker.

Facing three Ghost Kings, she had to be careful and rely on formations. Her two senior brothers in her previous life probably didn't know there were three Ghost Kings in this tomb, which is why they almost lost their lives.

She was just trying to sow discord between the Lord and the Red-clothed Ghost King, preventing them from uniting.

Now that this legal wife has come looking for her, it's like someone bringing a pillow to a sleeping person. She doesn't even need an excuse, she can openly and brazenly kill the other party.

"Excellent! As long as we leave here, all the funerary goods in Zhen Ge's tomb are yours. They are useless to us anyway."

Chen readily said.

Thank you, madam. I won't be polite then.

The next day, the Ghost King sent his little demons, with nearly forty of them, to leave the cemetery.

Ripples just sat there, saying nothing, until she sensed everyone had left the cemetery. Only then did she speak to the Ghost King.

"My lord, you have been trapped here by a Taoist priest. To leave this place, you must find a substitute. I will let him take your place, and then you will be able to leave smoothly, and you can even take all your subordinates with you to continue ruling the underworld."bers. If I actually found something edible, I probably wouldn't be able to bring it back.Yuan Chong said what he truly thought."We're comrades, thick as thieves. If it weren't for this drug lord chase...
