Jin Bao'er was also preparing to drag Su Xianzhi away in the chaos, but before she could make a move, in an instant! A terrifying sensation of being intensely stared at surged through her limbs and bones! Shocked, she quickly hid in a corner, motionless!
Who was it?
The next second, an invisible pressure swept over them, crushing everyone to the ground. The ghost cultivator who had initially attacked Su Xianzhi lost all strength to resist. Su Xianzhi slowly got up, looking at the few people with disdain and numbness.
"What's the point of struggling when things have come to this?"
In the past few days, she had seen too much, too many people who were overestimating their abilities and trying to escape and resist. But without exception, they were all controlled by the lurking figure in the dark!
Jin Bao'er stayed in the corner, her eyes tightly shut, holding her breath, cradling the baby in her arms, her presence completely concealed. Only then did she evade the perception of that power.
As there were many chosen female cultivators, one missing wouldn't be noticed. After Su Xianzhi escorted everyone into the house, she turned to leave...
Immediately after, she was knocked unconscious, and her figure rapidly disappeared from the spot...
Dragging someone was naturally extremely inconvenient for Jin Bao'er. So, she simply followed a ghost servant. Fortunately, she ended up in the dungeon!
In the dark and damp dungeon, isolated by special stones, the soundproofing was excellent. Various torture instruments were displayed, looking extremely terrifying.
When Su Xianzhi woke up, she saw this familiar scene, and her face instantly turned pale! The terror and fear in her eyes almost made her tremble all over! Her mind instinctively recalled all the scenes that had happened before.
"Su Xianzhi... it's been a long time!"
A familiar voice reached her ears, making her body tremble. She widened her eyes and looked at the woman on the other side...
"Jin... Jin Bao'er?"
Seeing the murderer who killed her again, Su Xianzhi became extremely excited. The fear and dread on her face were instantly replaced by arrogance!
"You're here, haha! You're dead too? Haha! Li Yan really killed you! Serves you right! Haha! Did you think he would let you go after you killed me?"
Even Jin Bao'er could feel the excitement of revenge, and her surprise grew even more! Su Xianzhi died by her hand? Was she the one who killed her?
For a moment, complexity, relief, excitement, and powerless resentment surged into her heart. Although she had lost her memory, for some reason, she instinctively believed what Su Xianzhi said.
"How do you know... I didn't come down on purpose?"
With resentful and mocking eyes cast upon her, Su Xianzhi's smile instantly froze! Her eyes widened, looking at Jin Bao'er in disbelief, and then she stepped back incredulously.
"You... what do you mean?"
Jin Bao'er sneered, not expecting that the events of her previous life would pass so quickly. Su Xianzhi was dead, and she was the one who killed her! Thinking of this, she bent down slightly, approached Su Xianzhi's left ear, and said in a chilling tone!
"You don't think that by dying, you can settle what you owe me, do you? I'm telling you, even in death, I will follow you down to watch you suffer endlessly! To live without life, to die without death!"
Yes! Dying like this was too good for Su Xianzhi. Her hatred still existed, and furthermore, she seemed to be doing quite well in the ghost realm...
This... was not what she wanted to see at all!
Specially made ropes bound her tightly, and sharp screams echoed throughout the dungeon!
"This whip is for provoking the demon beasts and pushing me out as a shield!"
"This whip is for you stealing my Golden Phoenix Egg and stripping her of her phoenix feathers, causing her to lose her dignity!"
"This whip is for you causing me to be publicly humiliated and having my fingers chopped off!"
"This whip is for you colluding with ghost cultivators to spread rumors, causing me to be hunted by the entire cultivation world!"
"..."
Exclamations filled with hatred, accompanied by the sound of whipping and screams, rose and fell one after another. Every strike vented the hatred that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time...
After a moment, the young girl in white was already covered in blood, sweating profusely, her face pale, and utterly weak! Her ghostly form was showing signs of dissipating!
Seeing this, Jin Bao'er dropped the whip. Looking at Su Xianzhi's tragic state, her frenzied expression gradually calmed down!
"From today onwards, there will be no more grudges between us! Su Xianzhi... don't let me see you again!"
With that, she turned and left the dungeon. At the entrance, a little girl who had obediently covered her ears at Jin Bao'er's command saw her. The surprise on her face instantly bloomed, and she threw herself into Jin Bao'er's arms...
"Big sister, you're finally out! It's so boring here!"
Her innocent and tender smile contrasted with the ugliness and rebirth within her heart. Jin Bao'er's body stiffened subconsciously. The turbulence in her heart completely subsided at this moment. Her complex expression slowly faded, and a relaxed, gentle smile bloomed on her lips.
"Okay!"
Soon, the two figures moved swiftly through the surroundings, seemingly searching for something...
Jin Bao'er's idea was simple. Although the old man had told her that she could only leave here by defeating the Ghost King and becoming the new Ghost King, with her current cultivation, defeating an expert in the Nascent Soul stage was almost a fool's dream!
Therefore, there was only one way to leave this place! She would personally go to the Ghost King's territory to find a way to leave the ghost realm! After all, the title of Ghost King was merely a self-proclaimed title by the strong. The exit must be in some method that he knew!
Thinking this, the two figures sneaked into the Ghost King's inner chambers... Fortunately, there were few guards in the Ghost King's mansion, seemingly due to his absolute confidence in his own power.
At this moment, the Ghost King Saleng, as she had expected, was heading towards the room where many female ghost cultivators were imprisoned...
Her agile figure searched all over the vast inner chambers, but she found no special passages or items!
The little girl watched her rush back and forth, sitting on the ground and rolling out of boredom, occasionally sitting quietly on the ground, her eyes following Jin Bao'er's movements.
Time ticked by, but Jin Bao'er found nothing. Just as she was wondering if the exit was elsewhere...
"Didn't find it? Do you need this King's help?"
A voice came from above her head. She looked up sharply and met those pale eyes. Her body instinctively retreated rapidly!
"You..."
The Ghost King Saleng? Why was he here?
The pale, eerie eyes slowly swept around the room, finding no one else! Finally, they fixed on Jin Bao'er, and he spoke in a chilling tone.
"Only you? What are you looking for? My beloved concubine?"
The word "beloved concubine" instantly made Jin Bao'er's pupils tighten!
She had already known that the teleportation array had been discovered earlier, so she had changed into someone else's clothes and concealed her aura. After being chosen, she had taken advantage of the baby's special nature to hide. Logically, even an expert in the Nascent Soul stage couldn't detect her departure...
Even if the Ghost King Saleng suspected her of sneaking in, he would only focus on her being among the new consorts! How could he know that she had already left?
