I'm not a psychopath!

Chapter 226 Escape
Jiang Qing smiled and didn't explain much.

He knew that some things could not be explained in just a few words.

Luo Shui came over, looked at Yao Guang for a while, then turned to Jiang Qing and asked, "Jiang Qing, who is this girl?"

Jiang Qing sorted out his thoughts and introduced to everyone: "This is Yaoguang, who I just found. Now, don't you all look as if you have seen a ghost, right?"

If you knew she was the princess of the undead, you wouldn't say that.

Since the ancient bell had long gone dim, Luo Shui transmitted the message and told Jiang Qing the whole story.

Yaoguang felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Qing's eyes suddenly widen and he looked at her as if she were a rare animal.

Jiang Qing did not expect that the other party's background was so powerful. Although the other party was lying in a golden coffin and was protected by three thousand bronze armors, his identity must be extraordinary, but he really could not imagine that the other party was actually an undead.

Eternal life!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were a little strange, Yaoguang nodded slightly and showed friendliness to everyone.

She knew that she was shouldering an important mission, but now, she hoped to find a way to leave the underworld with Jiang Qing.

"Okay, let's not discuss this for now." Luo Shui broke the silence, "The most important thing now is to find a way out of the underworld. Jiang Qing, Princess Yaoguang, do you have any clues or solutions?"

Jiang Qing and Yaoguang looked at each other, and then Yaoguang said, "My father once left me some knowledge about the underworld. I know there is an ancient teleportation array that can lead to the world of the living. But this teleportation array requires special energy to activate."

"Special energy?" Everyone looked at Yaoguang in confusion.

Yaoguang nodded, then looked at Jiang Qing, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes: "Jiang Qing, we need your help."

Jiang Qing nodded without hesitation: "Of course, we can't stay here any longer."

"Yaoguang, where is the teleportation array?" Luo Shui stared at Yaoguang, eager to know the answer.

Yaoguang thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The teleportation array is located in the suburbs of the northern part of Fengdu. There is a hidden valley there. It is a secret passage that my father set up in order to deal with unexpected events."

"Okay, then we'll head in that direction." Jiang Qing said decisively, "But we have to find a way to get out of Yama Palace first."

Everyone agreed, but after searching for a while, they still couldn't find the exit.

The Yama Palace is like a maze, every corner seems familiar, and every passage seems to lead to endlessness.

So several people gathered together again to discuss what to do.

Shen Chengxian was the first to break the silence: "We can't keep searching aimlessly like this. We must come up with a new plan."

"I agree." Luo Hua continued, "We can try to crack the formation in the hall. Perhaps there are clues to the exit hidden in the formation."

Qin Xiaosui made another suggestion: "Or we can try to attract the attention of the ghost soldiers, lure them in, and then take the opportunity to rush out.

Close the door again."

Yaoguang was silent for a moment, then said: "Although the Yin soldiers are numerous, their intelligence is not high. We can indeed take advantage of this."

She glanced at Qin Xiaosui and thought, "What a smart girl. No wonder she can hold this man so tightly. Now she has a rival."

After some discussion, everyone finally decided to follow Qin Xiaosui's suggestion and break out from the main gate.

Time is running out, and there is no time to waste. Although a large number of ghost soldiers have gathered at the door, the combat power of the seven of them is not weak, and it may not be impossible to tear open a hole and fight their way out.

The few of them finalized the details, including the order of the breakout, methods of mutual support, and the assembly point in case of getting separated.

After everything was ready, they returned to the entrance of Yama Palace, took a deep breath, and then Jiang Qing pushed the door open with force.

The door slowly opened, and a cold breath blew in. Outside the door was a dark mass of ghost soldiers. They were holding weapons and had ferocious faces, as if they were waiting for their prey to fall into their trap.

Jiang Qing and Yaoguang stood at the front, their eyes were firm and without any fear.

Behind him were Luo Shui, Shen Chengxian, Luo Hua and Qin Xiaosui, who were holding their weapons tightly, ready to engage in battle at any time.

"Are you ready?" Jiang Qing asked in a low voice.

"Stand by at all times!" everyone answered in unison.

"Then let's rush out!" Jiang Qing shouted and rushed out of the gate first, followed closely by Yaoguang. The seven of them rushed towards the group of Yin soldiers like tigers descending from the mountains.

The ghost soldiers roared loudly and rushed towards them, waving their weapons.

However, Jiang Qing and his companions had already made careful preparations.

When the ghost soldiers rushed over fiercely, they suddenly restrained their momentum and began to retreat in an orderly manner towards the depths of the Yama Palace.

The ghost soldiers were stunned for a moment. They originally thought that the other side was full of fighting spirit, but now they saw them retreating one after another, and they couldn't help but feel confused.

"geigeigeige..." Suddenly, a ghost soldier let out a sharp laugh. The sound echoed in the empty Yama Palace, making people shudder.

These living people must be scared!

Fear was just a spice to the ghost soldiers, who enjoyed the thrill of chasing their prey. So, the ghost soldiers chased Jiang Qing and the others like crazy.

However, the chasing bardo soldiers gradually felt something was wrong. They found that the figures in front of them began to explode one after another like bubbles and dissipated into the air.

One, two... In the end, there was only one figure left - Jiang Qing.

The ghost soldiers stopped and looked at each other, totally confused. What was going on? They were filled with doubts.

Jiang Qing stood in place, facing the angry and approaching ghost soldiers, with a contemptuous and disdainful expression.

There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was looking at a group of stupid pursuers.

"A bunch of things that have been dead for who knows how many years. It looks like their intelligence has been worn away by time. What a bunch of pitiful creatures."

"Perhaps I should find a master to help you to be liberated. It would be a great merit."

It turned out that the teammates who had just fled into the hall with him were just clones created using special means.

However, his real teammates had already concealed their auras and were lurking silently in the surrounding darkness.

The ghost soldiers were not very good at distinguishing. They were confused by the clone and chased after him. At this time, Jiang Qing said calmly:
"Chasing me? My teammates should all be out by now, tsk tsk tsk."

These words were like a thorn that pierced deeply into the hearts of the ghost soldiers. Not only did the cooked duck fly away, but the duck also mocked you. How could you tolerate this?

And at this moment, the door of Yama Palace slowly closed and was completely shut.

All people, including ghosts, cannot get out.

People can't get out because the ghost will soon drown Jiang Qing, and ghosts can't get out because the gate of Yama Palace cannot be touched by ordinary ghosts.

There was even a gavel on the desk, where Yama used to judge people.

Sometimes, if the gavel is hit too hard, it can even scare the ghost away. Because the ghosts have to control all the evil ghosts, many things have a restraining effect on ghosts, of course not including the ghosts themselves.

Although time has passed and many objects have lost their original abilities, this supreme palace in the ghost world is not one of them.

The anger of the ghost soldiers was like a volcanic eruption, their eyes were full of murderous intent, as if they wanted to tear Jiang Qing into pieces with their eyes. The ghost soldiers roared, their voices full of anger and unwillingness, they waved their weapons and launched a final charge towards Jiang Qing.

As if to say:

"Then you will stay here forever!"

However, there was no fear on Jiang Qing's face, only a faint smile.

He knew that his plan had been successful, his teammates had evacuated safely, and he had already prepared ways to deal with these evil soldiers.

At the moment when the ghost soldiers were about to rush in front of him, Jiang Qing's figure suddenly became blurred, and then dissipated into the air like smoke.

Wherever the ghost soldiers rushed through, there was only emptiness and their angry roars.

……

Under the cover of darkness, several figures were as silent as ghosts. Their breath was cleverly concealed, almost blending in with the shadows around them.

Luo Shui called out anxiously in a low voice:

"Xiao Sui, hurry up! Jiang Qing is still in the palace. He is using words to restrain the ghost soldiers. Contact with these ghost soldiers will wear away our luck. It's really tricky."

Qin Xiaosui frowned and did not respond, but her movements were unusually quick.

The moment they ran out of the Yama Palace, Shen Chengxian and Baili Ye immediately stepped forward, grabbed the door of the Yama Palace tightly and pushed it open.

They're closing!
Luo Hua and Luo Shui were responsible for guarding the surrounding environment, while Qin Xiaosui quickly squatted down and began to carve a complex formation on the ground.

Teleportation array.

Although Jiang Qing carried a formation plate with him, the teleportation they needed to perform this time was unusual. It had to penetrate the gate of the Yama Palace, and ordinary formations were simply not capable of doing it.

Moreover, they could not wait for Jiang Qing to appear before closing the door, as this would be too risky.

Even if only one ghost escapes, its screams will be enough to attract countless wandering souls and ghosts in this ghost town.

They cannot take this risk and must ensure that these ghost messengers are completely locked up in the Yama Palace.

Qin Xiaosui's fingers moved quickly on the ground, almost so fast that afterimages appeared. Luo Shui, who was watching nervously at the side, even felt that his vision could not keep up with the speed of Qin Xiaosui drawing the formation.

Although Qin Xiaosui usually seems to prefer to solve problems with her fists, as one of the most gifted disciples in history, she has learned the true teachings of Fairy Qingsu and is proficient in many fields.
Including magic circles.

Of course, compared with Jiang Qing, who took a different approach and could create a formation with just a thought, Xiaosui was still a little behind.

"boom!"

The door has been closed.

Thirty breaths later, Qin Xiaosui wiped the sweat from his cheeks and said softly but firmly, "It's done."

She took out a long, thin strand of hair - it was Jiang Qing's hair, and carefully placed it into the teleportation array that had just been completed.

In an instant, the teleportation array produced a subtle connection with Jiang Qing's body.

In the Yama Palace, Jiang Qing felt this special fluctuation and a smile appeared on his face.

"I won't play with you anymore."

At this moment, the teleportation array emitted a dazzling light, and the space seemed to be distorted in this instant.

"Swish!"

Jiang Qing's figure appeared in the light, and he successfully appeared in front of several people outside the hall.

Luo Shui and others breathed a sigh of relief that their plan had succeeded.

Jiang Qing returned safely, and no one was missing from the team. They smiled at each other.

"Where to go next?" Everyone's eyes turned to Yaoguang at the same time.

Yaoguang frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she slowly spoke: "It has been too long, I don't know if the memories my father left me are the same as today. I will try my best to lead everyone in the right direction."

"Okay." Jiang Qing responded concisely, his voice revealing his trust and support for Yaoguang.

……

They walked through the gloomy streets, with dilapidated buildings on both sides and moss growing on the mottled walls. Occasionally, a cold wind whistled past, bringing a biting chill.

"This place really makes people feel uncomfortable." Shen Chengxian tightened his collar and complained.

"Stop complaining and pay attention to your surroundings. Don't let the evil spirits find you." Luo Shui reminded in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.

They carefully walked around the ruins, and occasionally they could see some wandering souls wandering among the ruins, with empty eyes without a trace of life.

"What do you think... should we take the alley or the main road?" Luo Hua asked curiously, "Taking the main road is too conspicuous, but the small road has a lot of yin energy, and it might be easier for ghosts to pretend to be here."

"You are stupid, this is the underworld! There are no same rules as in the world of the living. The yin energy here is almost the same." Luo Shui complained.

Jiang Qing also agreed, "For example, if you are an official in the imperial city, do you take the official road, where everyone is afraid to flatter you, or do you go into dark alleys by yourself?"

"This……"

"Then we drill?"

"I won't go through it. I'll choose to walk on the roof." Jiang Qing pointed ahead and made a suggestion.

"Good idea. It's instinct for the ghosts to patrol the streets. They usually won't go up to the roofs. But you have to be careful not to jump too high and attract their attention." Yaoguang nodded in agreement and reminded everyone.

They jumped onto the rooftop lightly, trying not to make any noise. On the way, Qin Xiaosui accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel, which made a slight sound.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Jiang Qing quickly signaled to Qin Xiaosui. The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

"What do you think these ghost officials usually do?" Shen Chengxian asked curiously, looking down, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Maybe just like us, patrolling, standing guard, or..." Jiang Qing shrugged and didn't continue.

"Or drink tea and chat in a teahouse in the underworld? By the way, are there places like brothels in the underworld?" Baili Ye suddenly asked curiously.

"Why, are you still interested in ghosts?"

“That’s not the case, but if she’s pretty, it’s nice to enjoy the music. There are so many beautiful women in history who died young.

All that is left for us, the descendants, are some dry words. This is the underworld, maybe we can see them.”

"No, this is just a corner of the underworld. It was chopped off a long, long time ago."
