Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

In the end, Lin Xi gave her a check for fifty million.

Shen Nian accepted the gift and went to Shen Yingwei's room instead of returning to her own.

In Shen Yingwei's room, she found several pieces of broken birth chart wood, most of which belonged to the Shen family and were engraved with their birth dates and times.

The relationship between these birth date wood and the substitute life talisman is like that between the child Gu and the mother Gu. The mother Gu influences and manipulates the child Gu, but if the child Gu is destroyed, the mother Gu, which shares life and death with the child Gu, will also suffer a backlash.

She sealed away the fragments and found many other unfinished substitute talismans, intending to hand them over to the guild the next day.

Just as Shen Nian came out of Shen Yingwei's room, she bumped into Shen Yingchuan.

His face was pale, and his eyes were red. As soon as he saw Shen Nian, he grabbed her sleeve tightly and pleaded, "I want to see her again, please, I just want to see her one more time."

"I can't see him."

Shen Nian said coldly, "She has already been reincarnated, and she may have been reborn as a human by now."

Weird.

The Xuanmen Guild didn't save that female ghost for nothing.

Once she joins the guild, she'll have to work for it for at least five years before she can be reborn as a human.

But what does this have to do with Shen Yingchuan?

"Who did she reincarnate into? Where is she? Can you figure that out? Please, Shen Nian."

"This is a secret of the underworld; I cannot calculate it."

"But even if I could figure it out, I wouldn't do it for you. Forget about it."

Finally, Shen Nian added, "If you are destined to meet again, you will naturally meet again. If you cannot meet again, then you are not destined to be together, and my calculations for you will be in vain."

However, Shen Yingchuan and the female ghost had a karmic entanglement spanning three lifetimes, and after those three lifetimes, their karmic bond had dissipated.

Let alone meeting, even meticulously planned schemes are always interrupted by various unexpected events, preventing them from seeing each other.

Shen Nian ignored Shen Yingchuan's almost frenzied appearance and went back to her room.

She hasn't done a live stream yet today.

However, during the break in the live stream, the comments section suddenly exploded.

The identity of the person who jumped from the XX building tonight has been confirmed.

[You found out? Who is it that's so desperate?]

You'd never guess who jumped from the building.

[Holy crap, the person who jumped off the building was Pei Xiana? It really was her?]

[It's true, an official announcement has already been issued.]

[Didn't she retire from the entertainment industry and live a life of anonymity? Why did she jump off a building?]

[It's rumored that she was pregnant with the tycoon's child, hoping to become his mistress and use his influence to return to the entertainment industry, but the real wife found out.]

[The wife demanded that she return all the money she had taken from the wealthy man, or she would sue her for misappropriation of marital property. Pei Xiana, of course, couldn't repay it, and in despair, she committed suicide.]

Where did all her money go?

[It's said she became addicted to gambling, and gambled away all the money the tycoon gave her for her pregnancy.]

The comments section was immediately filled with sighs and lamentations.

Shen Nian opened her phone, clicked on the trending topics, and saw the news of Pei Xiana's death.

For some reason, she felt a vague unease.

That banner of a hundred demons is only missing one last vengeful ghost.

Pei Xiana, the "ghost mother" who once raised several little ghosts, jumped to her death at this moment.

What a coincidence!

It was as coincidental as someone handing you a pillow just as you were about to fall asleep.

After finishing her last divination, she hurriedly ended the live stream, got up, and walked to the window.

The distant horizon was dark and gloomy. Suddenly, a thunderbolt ripped through the sky, exploding in one direction like a sharp sword.

Thunder...

Shen Nian frowned.

Thunder can never appear out of thin air.

Either someone is undergoing a tribulation, or some evil ghost or great demon has been born.

Meanwhile, in cemeteries on the outskirts of Beijing.

Thunder rumbled, and a storm was brewing.

Master Liaochen stood amidst a hundred graves, surrounded by guild magicians wielding peach wood swords or other magical artifacts, yet his expression remained unchanged.

"Liaochen! The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore!"

Lin Xiyue shouted.

Behind Liao Chen was a huge, swaying flag, fluttering in the wind and frantically absorbing the death energy and yin energy in the cemetery.

The Ghost King has been formed. She has devoured countless vengeful spirits, and now every part of her body is clamoring for power.

Countless gray ghostly figures burst forth from the flag, attacking and tearing at the nearest Celestial Master.

Liao Chen laughed loudly, "You've come at the perfect time! With the Celestial Master's blood sacrifice to the banner, the power of my Hundred Ghosts Banner will surely reach an even higher level!"

When the lightning struck, it was as if Liao Chen and Bai Gui Fan were isolated by some invisible barrier, and they were not harmed in the slightest.

The sorcerers raised their hands and cast talismans, but could only repel the ghostly figure for a moment.

That was a ghost king, forged from among countless ghosts and artificially created.

Even if it can't compare to the real Ghost King, its strength should not be underestimated.

Even a hundred-year-old vengeful ghost from the guild's ranks, who came to help, was sucked in by the Hundred Ghosts Banner, which attempted to devour it as well.

Left with no other choice, the guild's sorcerer could only take those fierce ghosts into his arms to prevent them from becoming nourishment for the power of dust.

Liao Chen laughed loudly, "The Xuanmen Guild is nothing special! Having forged the Hundred Ghost Banner, I am the most successful Xuan Master in the world! I'm going to tell you that your so-called righteous sects' methods are no longer effective!"

"Spiritual energy is waning, cultivators are dwindling, only my path is correct!!!"

The Xuanmen members exhaled a breath of turbid air, holding their magical artifacts, ready to attack together.

Unexpectedly, the Hundred Ghosts Banner split into several parts and attacked the crowd.

Each of the Hundred Ghost Banners can grow infinitely large, enveloping the sorcerer. If the practitioner manages to break free, they will be completely devoured by the Hundred Ghost Banners.

A sorcerer, wielding a sword, thrust it with all his might at the banner in front of him, but could not harm it in the slightest.

Many sorcerers were injured, and their blood was absorbed by the Hundred Ghost Banner. In an instant, the entire cemetery was brightly lit with blood and filled with malevolent energy.

Another bolt of lightning struck down.

"Hahahaha! Very well! Tonight, none of you will leave here alive. You will all stay here! It is your honor to sacrifice your lives to the Demon King—ah!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, an oil-paper umbrella appeared out of nowhere and slammed into his face, shattering one of Liao Chen's right teeth.

"It's you!"

He glared angrily at Shen Nian: "It's you! You've ruined my plans time and time again!!! You've come at the perfect time! I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Shen Nian was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and picked up the oil-paper umbrella again.

At this point, Liao Chen was completely speechless.

He mumbled something and spat out two mouthfuls of black blood mixed with tooth fragments.

Shen Nian turned away in disgust.

The people from the Xuanmen Guild were also dumbfounded.

"This is... that Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Someone asked.

Lin Xiyue called out, "Master Shen, watch out behind you!"

Seeing that his physical body was no match for Shen Nian, Liao Chen activated the Hundred Ghost Banner that had been attacking the Xuanmen and turned his attention to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian sneered: "This ugly monster stitched together dares to call itself the Ghost King."

"Aren't you afraid that Yama, the King of Hell, will come down from the underworld to take you away?"

Holding the umbrella handle in one hand, she turned to avoid the attack of the Hundred Demon Banner, and then reached out and gripped the Hundred Demon Banner tightly.

The sensation was utterly disgusting.

Warm and slippery, it didn't resemble any kind of fabric; it was more like... human skin.
