Then they disappeared without a trace.

She really disappeared in an instant; anyone who didn't know better would think she could teleport.

"Could it be that my older brother is back?" Xu Shengtian muttered to himself, holding his phone as he walked out of the building.

Then he saw a black figure with nineteen crisscrossing lines on its body emerge from the shadows not far away. This tall figure had no facial features and held a dark, dull black wooden chessboard in its right hand.

In that instant, Xu Shengtian froze completely, his scalp tingling. A ghost! That ghost was back!!

Xu Shengtian forcibly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming. He trembled all over and tried to run back to the building to ask someone for help.

But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly remembered something: Master Chu had said that if you encounter a Go master, you must not run away, or you will be killed...

Chapter 277 A Feast of a Hundred Ghosts

Not long after the woman in white left, the ghost bride's wedding invitations flew out in all directions, and through some mysterious channel, they were delivered to all the ghosts within a radius of thousands of miles.

One of the letters not only flew into Luohe City, but even into the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall.

Old Master Lin Daosheng was currently in the deepest courtyard of the Lin family mansion, deep in thought as he looked at the red invitation card that had flown into his hand.

Beside him was his eldest granddaughter, Lin Mohua. Lin Mohua looked at her grandfather cautiously, "This is... a wedding invitation? Who sent it?"

The old man replied in a hoarse, low voice, "A ghost."

Lin Mohua was somewhat surprised, but then breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought it was a wedding invitation from that man.

"Do ghosts deliver wedding invitations? This ghost must be quite special."

The old man nodded slightly, which was a confirmation of his granddaughter's judgment.

So Lin Mohua asked again, "Are you going?"

The old man shook his head, "Even if I could leave, I wouldn't go, not because I can't leave."

After saying that, he casually tossed the wedding invitation onto the table. "But a certain little guy has run into trouble. I hope he can get through this. If he can't, he'll die."

Although it was just a simple wedding invitation, the old man seemed to have gleaned a lot of information from it...

......

At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, the person in charge of Langchao City who had rushed over to meet Chu Jiang after receiving his call was now facing a slight problem.

To be precise, Zhou Hongyu discovered several suspicious ghost masters loitering nearby, but they hadn't noticed him yet.

Those people included an elderly man with a mustache, and a young man and a young woman.

Zhou Hongyu wasn't sure if the old man was a Ghost Master. But he was certain of the other two; the naturally emanating eerie aura they exuded would be hard to hide from their fellow practitioners.

At this moment, Zhou Hongyu, pale-faced, stood behind several ghost masters. His right eye was open, and his left eye was closed. A black leaf was pasted on the closed eye.

Even though Zhou Hongyu was so close to these people, they didn't notice his arrival. They were just looking at the ghostly mist that shrouded Qingyun Mountain and talking about coffins.

After listening for a while, Zhou Hongyu quietly left and made a phone call to Chu Jiang, which took quite a while to get through.

"Hey, Captain Chu, I've arrived at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. I've also spotted a few suspicious individuals."

After Zhou Hongyu recounted what he had seen and heard, Chu Jiang seemed to understand, realizing that's how it was...

To verify his guess, Chu Jiang asked Zhang Dafu, who was present, about the appearance of the feng shui master he had consulted. The result matched the old man's features as described by Zhou Hongyu perfectly.

That's it then.

Chu Jiang had previously suspected that the feng shui master Zhang Dafu had hired knew that someone had died there, but he only said on the surface that they should not dig anymore, while implying to Zhang Dafu that there was a way to resolve the situation.

This man deliberately exploited the Zhang family's superstitious, greedy, and official-obsessed mentality, encouraging them to continue digging.

After the coffin was actually dug out, the master told them to bury it back in its original state.

It seems they've been plotting against this ghost from the very beginning, using the Zhang family as mere pawns.

In other words, Zhang Dafu still had some conscience and didn't intend to rob someone else's grave.

If he really insists on burying his great-grandfather's coffin, then Chu Jiang will wait until this guy dies before dealing with the matter.

Now that this feng shui master knows the exact burial location of the coffin, would he also know the origin of the ghost bride...?

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this. Let's focus on getting through the present.

Chu Jiang instructed Zhou Hongyu not to rush into the ghost fog and to continue keeping an eye on the group before putting down his phone.

Then, looking at the large group of guests before him, Chu Jiang sighed silently. What kind of mess had he made? He hadn't even realized there were so many ghosts around here until the ghost bride intervened...

As for the exact extent of this "nearby," Chu Jiang had no idea. In any case, the eerie ghosts had already filled more than twenty tables of food and drink.

They were all terrifying and grotesque in appearance: some were decapitated and disemboweled; some had bellies as big as drums; some were demonic mothers with infants; some walked in wearing only a pair of old cloth shoes; and some were completely invisible, with only a wedding invitation floating in the air and taking their seats...

As for the old corpses, ghosts, and skeletons, needless to say, and new ghosts are also arriving.

For example, as soon as Chu Jiang hung up the phone, he saw a Go-playing ghost with Go-playing patterns on its body, holding a wedding invitation in its right hand, carrying a Go board on its back, and carrying a young man in its left hand as it walked into the courtyard.

Chu Jiang was taken aback when he first saw the young man trembling like a chick.

Upon seeing Chu Jiang, Xu Shengtian immediately cried out in surprise, "Big brother, it's me! Help!"

"No, it's you again? And why is it this ghost again? How did you get involved with it?"

Xu Shengtian almost cried. "How was I supposed to know? I was just at work, and this persistent ghost came knocking again. Could it be that it got terribly abused outside and wants to come back and regain some confidence from me?"

In short, the Go prodigy received the invitation and, not forgetting his "golf friends," also brought Xu Shengtian along.

After these two took their seats, the number of guests dwindled.

A few minutes later, when the last ghost rolled into the courtyard like a ball of flesh, lively and joyous music suddenly filled the area around the house, seemingly announcing the official start of the wedding banquet.

But at that moment, a white shadow flew out from the fleshy ghost.

The shadow transformed into a woman with long, waist-length hair dressed in white. She wore a white veiled hat and held an ancient-style longsword in her hand, gracefully descending like a goddess.

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised; this person seemed to be human, not a ghost.

"Holy crap!" Xu Shengtian, who had been timidly holding a glass of wine, immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up!

"You've arrived just in time, heroine! Or perhaps you're here to abduct the bride?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present, both human and ghost, turned to look at him.

Xu Shengtian immediately chickened out. He raised his hands, slowly sat down, and implied that everyone should not pay attention to his minor role.

The ghost bride seemed unconcerned that a human had infiltrated the group. She had been standing quietly until now, when she turned around and looked at Chu Jiang through her red veil.

If this were a human woman, Chu Jiang could easily imagine the gentle look in her eyes beneath her red veil.

But this was a ghost, and Chu Jiang could only hope that its purpose wasn't to join him in the underworld on their wedding night...

Although the woman in white was new to the area, she had considerable experience dealing with ghosts. After scanning her surroundings, she quickly realized that Chu Jiang had found himself in a dangerous situation he couldn't escape.

His body trembled slightly, and his hands, which had turned into blood vessels, were clenched tightly, as if he were fighting against some invisible supernatural force.

Chapter 278 The Ghost Bride's Forced Marriage

The wedding banquet officially began, and the ghost bride stretched out her pale hand, wanting to take Chu Jiang's hand in hers.

Seeing this, the woman in white also extended her right hand. Her palm became ethereal, quickly transforming into a translucent grayish-white color, and faced the ghost bride.

"A human paired with a ghost is an improper marriage, and disaster is sure to follow."

As the woman finished speaking, the ghost bride who had reached out her hand suddenly froze.

At the same time, all the vengeful ghosts holding wedding invitations suddenly stood up, looking restlessly at the ghost bride, seemingly preparing to attack her.

It is obvious that none of the "guests" who came this time did so voluntarily; they were all "controlled" by the power of the ghost bride.

The supernatural power emanating from the woman in white was also quite unique; she didn't directly "turn" these guests against her, but rather achieved it by altering their fortunes.

She said that calamity would befall the ghost bride, and indeed, the person encountered misfortune. It was a strange phenomenon that could affect the luck of others.

Moreover, the ghost on the woman in white seems to indeed have some functions related to marriage...

but......

Although all the vengeful ghosts began to stir, none of them actually made a move. The ghost bride only froze for a moment before returning to normal.

Then the ghost bride didn't shake Chu Jiang's hand again, but slowly raised her hand to the woman in white.

At this moment, a great terror rose in Jing Ruoxue's heart. She had a premonition that she would die under the opponent's attack.

She wanted to move, to escape, and even to draw her sword, but ever since the other party raised their hand, Jing Ruoxue was unable to do anything and could only stand there and wait to die.

This was a rare experience for Jing Ruoxue, a time when she felt like she was on the verge of life and death.

A sense of despair welled up in her heart. Sure enough, her bloodline power had awakened too late. To deal with such a terrifyingly powerful ghost, her current level of awakening was far from sufficient.

Suddenly, Chu Jiang stretched out his bluish-black palm and grasped the ghost bride's right hand, which was halfway raised.

Then everyone present saw Chu Jiang's face rapidly turn pale, whiter than a sheet of paper; at the same time, his aura quickly turned chilling, as if he were rapidly transforming from a living person into a vengeful ghost...

Jing Ruoxue, dressed in white, suddenly took a step back. Cold sweat poured down her forehead, and she gasped for breath, as if she had escaped some kind of invisible curse.

Still panting, she gripped the hilt of her sword with her right hand, seemingly wanting to draw her sword and rush to help Chu Jiang.

But Chu Jiang's face twisted, and his body trembled as he called out to her, "Stop, don't, do it."

"What should I do?" Jing Ruoxue's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Let's find a seat and sit down."

Chu Jiang guessed that as long as the woman in white stopped causing trouble and sat down properly, she would be treated as a "family member of the groom" by the ghost bride and would no longer be attacked.

But who exactly is this woman? Xu Shengtian seems to know her?

Moreover, the supernatural power she used actually caused the Chu Qi power within him to react. Could she be Shao Siming? The Shao Siming of this generation...?

The thought only crossed his mind for a moment before Chu Jiang quickly dismissed it.

Chu Jiang's situation is critical. If he continues to shake hands with the other party, he will be corrupted by the ghost bride and become a dead man.

They haven't even had the wedding ceremony yet, and they're already acting like this after just shaking hands. Chu Jiang simply can't imagine what will happen if the wedding continues.

However, forcing it at this time is not an option. In terms of the danger level to humans, the Ghost Bride may only be A-level; but its terror level is completely different. This power to control other ghosts is extremely abnormal.
