When Qian Weilai saw his target arrive, his expression changed, and a hint of expectation appeared on his face. “Of course, I’ve come to take your life.”

The Green Mountain Ghost King was his last and most important card. He was a Ghost King of considerable status in the Underworld, and for various reasons, he cooperated with Youdu. His target would be dealing with none other than this powerful ghost king himself.

Today, he not only brought countless talismans he had drawn himself, but also invited the Green Mountain Ghost King.

No matter how fierce the ghost or how unbreakable this jiangshi’s bone, before the Green Mountain Ghost King, they were all like mayflies trying to shake a giant tree. The success of this mission would be absolutely guaranteed.

His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up. With this thorn in his side eliminated, his father would definitely value him even more!

The Green Mountain Ghost King was handsome, not like a ghostly spectre, but more like a romantic scholar from ancient times.

He shook his fan, a kind smile on his face, acting like a host, his expression very natural. “My young friend and I are close friends. Since he has entrusted me with this, then please, young lady, go to your death.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the folding fan in his hand suddenly extended, revealing sharp, snow-white bone spikes, almost half a person’s length, with a gleaming cold light at the tip.

He threw the paper fan, and the bone spikes, gathering intense yin energy, hurtled straight towards An Rugu’s chest.

“The mysteries of heaven and earth are the origin of all things.”

‘Clang!’

A golden barrier, ten feet high, rose before An Rugu, and the golden light clashed with the bone spikes.

A dazzling burst of sparks shot straight out, illuminating the room as bright as day. The area where the bone spikes met the shield had touched softened as if it had melted.

An Ruguo held up the screen, her clothes fluttering in the strong wind.

Upon seeing this, the Green Mountain Ghost King’s eyes flashed with surprise. He stretched out his hand, and the paper fan flew straight back.

“To be able to make golden light emanate from your body, young friend, your cultivation is quite profound, you even have some of the demeanor of a celestial master. Given time, you would surely have become equal to the celestial master of the mystical Dao. It’s a pity that you’ve met me.”

He looked pitiful and full of lament, as if he genuinely felt sorry for An Rugu.

The celestial master he was referring to was not the current Celestial Master Zhang, but rather Zhang’s ancestor.

Just as he was feigning compassion with crocodile tears, a sudden scream rang out, “Ahhhhhh!”

He turned his head and saw that while he was focused on dealing with An Rugu, the little jiangshi  had run to Qian Weilai’s side, grabbed his hand, and bit him hard, leaving deep teeth marks that looked like it was about to draw blood.

Qian Weilai pulled out another handful of fire talismans and threw them at her, then scrambled back towards him, shouting, “Ghost King, help me! This mad dog is trying to bite me to death!”

The Ghost King lowered his gaze, grabbed Qian Weilai, and with his feet off the ground, rode on the dark yin energy, flying out of the room.

He still wanted to continue cooperating with Youdu, so he couldn’t let anything happen to this adopted son of its leader.

He would take him to a safe place first, then come back and deal with that woman.

However, the speed of the golden flying swords was even faster than he had imagined.

As soon as he floated out of the Daoist temple, countless golden flying swords pierced towards him.

The sword flashed, its sharp energy blotting out the sky, and any yin energy it encountered dissipated.

“Don’t run!”

He had no choice but to land on the ground, shielding Qian Weilai behind him, and his paper fan flew out to block the golden flying sword.

‘Clang! Clang! Clang!’

The dazzling golden flying swords melted away, seemingly indicating that he had won, but in reality, the paper fan also dimmed considerably, with small cracks appearing.

Upon seeing this, the handsome face of the Green Mountain Ghost King darkened slightly.

He had to protect Qian Weilai and deal with An Rugu, so he was really overwhelmed.

With a thought, he took out his Ghost-Controlling Talisman, raised his hand to activate it, and several blurry figures appeared around him.

“Greetings, Lord Ghost King!”

“Greetings, Lord Ghost King!”

More than twenty ghost servants shouted at the Ghost King, their expressions extremely respectful.

“Protect the person behind me.”

“Understood!” everyone said in unison.

Ghostly specters stood ready, surrounding Qian Weilai.

Hanged ghosts, starved ghosts, drowned ghosts… each one had died a gruesome death.

Qian Weilai looked at the hideous ghost faces, swallowed hard, and wanted to stay far away from them, but when he saw the little jiangshi eyeing him menacingly, he stopped in his tracks.

“Kill her now!”

“Understood!”

The ghost servants swarmed towards the little jiangshi, their hands transforming into sharp claws with nails as sharp as knives.

This little girl seemed no different from anyone else, so what’s so scary about her?

The ghost servants laughed. “Hehehe!”

A four-year-old child in a white dress looked up and saw countless ghostly servants above her, their deaths gruesome—a true nightmare.

The living would probably be scared to death on the spot, devoured by a hundred ghosts, reduced to fish on a chopping board.

However, she tentatively raised her hand and threw a punch at the hanged ghost closest to her. The movement was light and airy, but it sent the hanged ghost with its tongue sticking out flying with one punch.

The ghosts: “???”

Immediately afterwards, the drowned ghost, the car accident ghost… were also sent flying by her fist.

Seeing that things were going badly, the ghosts all retreated.

But the little jiangshi still ran towards them, punching them hard and leaving them bruised and battered, their souls unstable, almost completely destroyed.

Seeing this, An Ruguo withdrew her gaze. Ghosts were yin beings, and the little jiangshi was even more so a yin being, a yin being on top of yin beings. These ghosts were just snacks to her.

Upon seeing this, the Ghost King of Green Mountain frowned deeply. With a thought, he took out a token and shouted, “The Ghost King is here! Come attend to me at once!”

As soon as he gave the order, his voice echoed in the ears of countless wandering ghosts in Nancheng, and they instantly raised their heads to look towards the suburbs.

He held a high position and wielded great power, able to command the ghosts of half the city. This was analogous to an ancient government conscripting laborers to build a city, for which most of the ghosts had to come.

Countless shimmering ghostly specters drifted toward Cloud Rise Temple.

In an instant, the vast Cloud Rise Mountain was shrouded in a thick yin energy, becoming a ghost mountain.

T/N: I think I’ve always kept the pinyin ‘Maoshan’ but it means Mao Mountain. Otherwise known as the ‘Shangqing‘ (Supreme Clarity) School of Daoism, it’s a renowned Daoist movement established in 250 BCE, as well as the name of the sect that’s based in Mao Mountain.

Incidentally, Green Mountain means ‘Qingshan’. Idk if it’s related—this author likes to sneak in ‘oho!’ references. Maybe just a fun fact: the Green Mountain Ghost King is battling against Mao Mountain Sect arts.
