Chapter 191 White Bone Demon Zither

When Old Liu stared coldly at Jiang Chen, he inexplicably exuded the aura of the Black Night Owl.

Was Old Liu trying to intimidate Jiang Chen?

Jiang Chen could watch Ye Yang die, but he didn't dare to touch him in the slightest.

Touching Ye Yang would be a true betrayal of the Emperor.

Unless Jiang Chen's strength had far surpassed the Emperor's, the "Zhu Ni (Rebellion Slayer)" in the hands of the Black Night Owl would be enough to kill him on the spot.

Jiang Chen stared at Old Liu, his fists clenched, released, released, and clenched again several times before he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

As soon as Jiang Chen left, the towering ancient tree sank back into the ground.

The layer of leaves exposed on the surface also withered and yellowed in just a few seconds, falling to the ground.

"Lin Zhao, Lin Xian, take the master and the others to heal," Old Liu gently fanned the ground with his fan, sweeping away a few fallen leaves, and quickly left the ancestral land with me and Ye Yang.

Fortunately, we all had the secret medicine refined by Yun Shang, which stabilized our injuries in a short time.

Old Liu held up a few fallen leaves and said, "Jiang Chen extracted the essence of the ancient tree when he left. As long as he has time, he can release the ancient tree at any time and form his own domain. Fortunately, he didn't do anything at that time, otherwise, even if our Liang Jie Tang (Two Realms Hall) were all here, we wouldn't be able to keep him."

I asked curiously, "Will Jiang Chen betray the Emperor?"

Old Liu shook his head and said, "As it stands now, he doesn't dare to rebel. However, I always feel that he is only one step away from rebelling against the Emperor."

I waved my hand and said, "Whether he rebels or not is the Emperor's own business! I can't do anything to him even if I catch up with Jiang Chen now."

I turned to look at Lin Zhao and said, "Little milk dog, what are your plans?"

I felt that Lin Zhao was not suitable to stay in the Gui Guan Men (Ghost Coffin Sect). Lin Zhao and Lin Xian were the only people in the Ghost Coffin Sect who had entered the ancestral land, and they would soon become the center of the next power struggle in the Ghost Coffin Sect.

Letting them stay would only mean dealing with open and hidden arrows from their fellow disciples.

However, the Ghost Coffin Sect was, after all, Lin Zhao's sect, and her roots were here.

The Ghost Coffin Sect had just experienced a change, and it would be a bit inhumane to let Lin Zhao return to the Liang Jie Tang (Two Realms Hall) with me now, so I could only ask her for her choice first.

Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "I've decided to stay in the sect!"

"Although the Ancestral Master has gone into demonic possession, the Ghost Coffin Sect's heart of sacrificing oneself for righteousness remains."

"With the war imminent, the Ghost Coffin Sect, as a part of the art, must not stand idly by."

"When you attack the Liang Jie Shan (Two Realms Mountain), I will lead the Ghost Coffin Sect disciples to fight for the human world."

"Even if we can't reach the peak, we must be heroes."

I looked at Lin Zhao and smiled, "Little milk dog, you've grown up. Liang Jie Shan (Two Realms Mountain), I'll wait for you."

I didn't know if Lin Zhao was planning to continue San Yan Daoren (Three-Eyed Taoist)'s plan and complete the human-ghost fusion of the Ghost Coffin Sect. Or if she wanted to reorganize the Ghost Coffin Sect and reinforce the Liang Jie Shan (Two Realms Mountain).

But I knew that on the day of the final battle, I would definitely see Lin Zhao again.

This was our agreement.

Ye Yang and I were almost dragged back to the Liang Jie Tang (Two Realms Hall) by Old Liu. The first thing we did after returning was to find Lin Lingxiao—I had to figure out what was going on between him and Nie Xiaochun!

I asked bluntly, "Old Lin, what's the deal between you and Nie Xiaochun?"

Lin Lingxiao sighed and said, "Hall Master Li, ever since I met Xiaochun, I've been considering whether to tell Xiaochun the truth, or let this truth remain hidden!"

"I've also thought it through these days! There is no truth in this world that can be hidden forever."

Lin Lingxiao said, "Hall Master Li, do you remember the story of the musician who went mad in pursuit of the ultimate in music?"

I couldn't help being shocked when I heard this, "Don't tell me, you are that musician!"

"If possible, I wouldn't want to be Qin Zun (Zither Master) Lin Lingxiao either," Lin Lingxiao said, "Actually, you only know half of that story."

Lin Lingxiao said with difficulty, "In his previous life, in order to pursue the ultimate in zither music, Lin Lingxiao personally erased his worldly attachments and made a zither that was invincible in the world with his wife's bones. Therefore, he also had a nickname: Bai Gu Mo Qin (White Bone Demon Zither)."

"Xiaochun is the instrument spirit of the Bai Gu Mo Qin (White Bone Demon Zither)."

"Wait a minute!" I rubbed my eyebrows and said, "In other words, Nie Xiaochun was your wife in her previous life. Then, you made her into a zither. Her ghost was sealed in the zither and became an instrument spirit, right?"

"Yes!" Lin Lingxiao nodded, and Wang Butcher, who was pulled over by me, almost drew his knife: "I think your skin is not bad either, it's just right for making a big drum."

Old Liu quickly pressed Wang Butcher back: "Butcher, please calm down."

Before I looked for Lin Lingxiao, I had a vague feeling that the matter between Lin Lingxiao and Nie Xiaochun was not that simple.

So, I pulled Wang Butcher and Old Liu over.

Wang Butcher was the senior sister of the Liang Jie Tang (Two Realms Hall), and she had a good relationship with the girls, so she could persuade them at critical moments.

That old fellow Old Liu had many ghostly ideas, and we needed him to come up with ideas when necessary.

But I didn't expect it to be like this!

If we encountered this kind of thing, I estimated that Old Liu would also be dumbfounded!

I tapped my head and said, "Continue to tell me what happened later?"

I felt that Lin Lingxiao might have even worse things waiting for me later.
