Chapter 787 That Damn Ghost (12)

Although he sensed something was off about the girl in front of him, Lord Diao always maintained that his word was his bond, and he never took back what he said unless absolutely necessary.

The girl in front of her looked so pitiful that it slightly awakened her maternal instincts, making her even more determined not to let this little girl continue to wander.

So she shoved her food haphazardly into her mouth, grabbed Yun Jianxian by the neck and lifted her up like a kitten, then said to the other three, "You guys eat slowly, I'm taking her back to rest."

"Okay, take your time."

"Let's go eat something else later."

Holding the mink in his hand, Yun Jianxian watched as the surrounding scenery gradually changed from bustling to dilapidated, and then turned into desolation.

The magical lights along the roadside have gradually disappeared, and the streets have become dilapidated. Coffin-like houses stand on both sides, like honeycombs, making the sky here extremely cramped.

Seeing the scene around him, Yun Jianxian couldn't help but swallow hard, wondering if Lord Diao was going to sell him off.

Fortunately, not long after, Lord Diao carried Yun Jianxian into a street, bent down and pushed open a hole, stuffing Yun Jianxian inside.

He tossed another prayer mat over and said to Yun Jianxian, "I was originally going to take you to the tavern, but I've thought about it and it doesn't seem like the right place. The owners are very busy right now, so let's not take you there and cause them any trouble."

"Okay, I understand," Yun Jianxian said obediently. "By the way, is this some kind of transportation device? How does it activate? Where are we going later?"

"Huh? You've never stayed in a coffin room before?"

"...Is this a room?"

Under the moonlight, the two gazed at each other for a long time, and soon realized that their senses seemed to be out of sync.

Covering his forehead, Lord Mink waved his hand and said, "Let me sort this out. You don't think this is a place for people to live, right?"

"I don't want to be too rude, but that's really what I think," Yun Jianxian nodded and said.

"Where did you come from, young lady?"

Just as Yun Jianxian was about to reveal his identity, he heard Diaoye whisper, "Shh, don't talk, the inspectors are here."

"You're afraid of the inspectors? Weren't you just chatting and laughing with them?"

“Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi are different. They are my playmates. I can be more relaxed when I see them.”

"But aren't you a ground promotion agent for 'Feijian'? Are you afraid of them?"

"I'm just trying to save some money. Only one person can live in a coffin room. If two are found, there will be a fine."

Yun Jianxian stared at Diaoye in astonishment, never expecting that the lives of the poor in the lower realms were like this.

Coffin-sized rooms where you can't even stretch your legs, neighborhoods with such poor security that you wouldn't dare stay long, suburbs where the spiritual energy is so thin you can barely sense it—is this what it's like for people at the bottom of society?
After the inspectors finally left, Lord Diao breathed a sigh of relief, but then he cautiously covered Yun Jianxian's mouth and whispered, "Don't speak loudly, the swordsmen are coming."

"Swordsman?"

"The sword cultivators of the Sword Sect are utterly depraved."

Upon suddenly hearing Lord Diao cursing the Sword Sect members, Sword Immortal Yun became somewhat unhappy.

Although she was expelled from the Sword Sect, she had spent many years there and had a deep affection for it. Even after being expelled, she still subconsciously protected the Sword Sect.

Therefore, she immediately whispered, "What did the Sword Sect do to you?" "You really are a young lady," Lord Diao chuckled. "You really haven't been harassed by the Sword Sect?"

"People from the Sword Sect would harass others?"

"Yes. It was already excessive before, but it's gotten even more excessive recently. After 'Non-Sword' came out, the Sword Sect's income dropped by a lot. The new sect leader has gone crazy and insists that 'Non-Sword' actually stole the Sword Sect's sword light system, and now he's demanding compensation."

"Really?" Yun Jianxian asked in surprise. "No wonder 'Non-Sword' dares to be free; it turns out it stole the Sword Light System."

"Are you stupid?" Lord Mink glanced at Yun Jianxian with disdain. "The Sword Light System is in the hands of the Yun family. How can we use it? If we really had that ability, wouldn't it be better to just wipe out the Yun family? The new sect leader is just messing around all the time. Once the big boss comes out of seclusion, it will be his death day."

"Big boss...you mean Lin Yuan?"

"Hmm. I won't say more, lest I scare you. Just know that the big boss is omnipotent. Ever since the new sect leader appeared, the sword cultivators have become increasingly monstrous. You'll see soon enough."

They waited together in the darkness for a while, when suddenly a loud and piercing sound rang out from outside the coffin room.

Although the two cultivators were dressed in the attire of the Sword Sect, they did not have any sword aura on their bodies or magic swords at their waists. It was clear at a glance that they were logistics personnel, not sword cultivators.

They carried megaphones, and the amplified sound spread throughout the entire area, clearly audible even several streets away.

"Fellow villagers."

“Brothers and sisters.”

"good evening!"

"We're here tonight for no other reason than this."

"It's to tell you the truth!"

"You've all been fooled by 'Non-Sword'! 'Non-Sword' isn't free at all; it steals the sword light from the Sword Sect. Otherwise, how could they offer it for free?"

"The current free service is just a prelude to taking advantage of you later! Once you get used to it and become addicted, you won't be able to live without it."

"When the time comes, the Non-Sword Sect will close the 'Non-Sword' manual, and you'll have to pay to use it. Will you use it or not? Your relatives and friends are all on it, and you'll have to use it to know if they're dead or not."

“Once the Jianmen are wiped out, they can do whatever they want. You spend fifty yuan each time, and knowing that your relatives and friends are dead makes you happy and relieves your addiction. But as soon as it gets light the next day, the addiction comes back.”

"You say I have a strong will, and I don't need it, but it's too late. You've already gotten used to it, you're already addicted. Think back, now you open 'Feijian' to chat with people as soon as you open your eyes during the day, and you open 'Feijian' to chat with people before you go to sleep at night. You can't quit."

"You ask me what to do? Send money, send money to Jianmen to atone for your sins and repent. After transferring the money, remember to leave a message saying that I shouldn't have used 'Feijian', that I didn't know it had stolen Jianmen's sword light system, and that I was guilty. Send the amount corresponding to how many times you used 'Feijian' before."

"Fight now, fight immediately, don't delay. If the Sword Sect dies, the Non-Sword Sect will be all-powerful, and you'll be finished. Fight! Fight now!"

"Your Majesty, so none of you are going to hit us, huh? Then none of you will sleep! We'll go door to door right now, let's see who dares not to hit us!"

After saying that, the two immediately kicked open a door, rushed in, snatched the jade slip containing the orphan and widow inside, and began searching through it.

Ignoring the widow's cries, a disciple of the Sword Sect flipped through the records, laughing excitedly, "Little brat, you've actually chatted for thousands of times! One yuan per message, pay up. You say you don't have money? I see you still have your charm, madam, why don't you go and apply for a 'Madam's Loan'? Ribbit!"

With a scream, the disciple was slit in the throat by a sword, red blood gushing from his neck, his eyes wide open like a frog's.

After uttering a few indistinct words, the man fell heavily to the ground, his body twitching unconsciously for a moment before finally dying.
