I have a ghost diary

Putting everything else aside, the fact that the Go Demon is here in good health means that it broke through the Black Sun's ghost domain and was able to leave Luohe City, instead of being trapped in a corner like the Dark Left Hand.

The ghost bride, however, can force the Go-playing ghost to attend its wedding banquet, which shows just how terrifying the ghost bride is.

Even when that hand was raised just now, even though it wasn't aimed at him, Chu Jiang instinctively felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were on the verge of death. If he hadn't intervened, that woman in white would probably already be dead.

At this moment, due to the physical contact with the ghost bride, the Blood Hand Ghost and Dark Left Hand within Chu Jiang's body lost control for a time, seemingly falling into complete silence and unable to help the host in the slightest.

Only Chu Jiang's power was fighting against the ghost bride's supernatural power; otherwise, Chu Jiang would be a cold corpse by now, unable to speak.

However, Chu Zang's power couldn't last long either, because the ghost bride's supernatural corruption was at a very delicate juncture.

If it were to launch a sudden, powerful attack, such as the Ghost Buddha's [Cause and Effect Annihilation], Chu Jiang's recovery would accelerate, and it might even turn Chu Jiang's entire upper body into a zombie.

But the problem now is that the power of the ghost bride is like a hidden spring, not a sudden, intense surge, but a continuous, relentless onslaught.

This resulted in the speed at which Chu Zombie revived not keeping up with the speed at which the Ghost Bride was eroding him.

Chu Jiang estimated that within ten minutes at most, he would be irreversibly corrupted by the ghost bride to death, or even become her ghost servant.

In that case, they would truly be "living together as a couple".

As for the Ghost Diary, it's uncertain whether it will intervene at the last moment. For now, it's just watching, since Chu Jiang is still barely holding on, so the Ghost Diary won't budge.

As Jing Ruoxue bit her lip and quickly sat down at the table where Xu Shengtian was, as Chu Jiang instructed, the ghost bride indeed stopped looking at her and instead looked back at Chu Jiang.

A pattern! We must start by investigating the murder patterns of the ghost bride.

Although Chu Jiang's methods of dealing with ghosts have become much simpler and more brutal since he awakened his bloodline power.

However, he never forgot that a qualified ghost master should first start with understanding the patterns when dealing with ghosts, and then consider a head-on confrontation, because it is very difficult for humans to outlast ghosts.

The pattern of ghost brides should be similar to that of ghost weddings. Ghost weddings are driven by an instinct to find a suitable bride, while ghost brides are driven by an instinct to find a suitable groom.

Now that Chu Jiang has been chosen, the wedding banquet is in full swing. What should be done next?

Although her parents were not by her side, the ghost bride still stiffly pulled Chu Jiang to the red altar where the gods of heaven and earth were placed, seemingly to perform a wedding ceremony with him.

And all the guests present, whether human or ghost, were witnesses to this wedding.

......

Chu Jiang was like a puppet, his body being manipulated at will by a ghost.

His mind was racing; he couldn't go on like this and had to interrupt the ceremony because he didn't know what would happen after it was over.

If this is a prerequisite for some kind of rule, and the completion of the ritual signifies that the human and the ghost have officially become husband and wife, then Chu Jiang might die instantly, without even having time to make a move in his Ghost Diary.

So how do we interrupt it? By making the woman in white draw her sword?

Although that sword might be a sealed artifact, if drawing it could really solve everything, the other party would probably have drawn it by now, instead of being persuaded not to.

Suddenly, Chu Jiang remembered that he had a consumable supernatural item that Ning Miaowei had given him, and it seemed that he could use it now?

The wedding ceremony begins, at which point there should be a [leader] and a [guide] responsible for chanting the lyrics and guiding the two newlyweds to become sworn brothers.

But now it seems everything has been simplified, or perhaps the ghost bride doesn't have that level of will at all, and is just acting on the instincts of a ghost.

It held Chu Jiang's hand and faced the altar of Heaven and Earth, as if it wanted to bow to Heaven and Earth with him first.

At this moment, Chu Jiang, whose face was extremely ugly, struggled to take out a tattered cloth doll from his left hand and threw it onto the ghost bride!

The ghost bride neither dodged nor avoided the attack, and the doll, after being hit, bounced and fell to the ground as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Dafu and the others were baffled, while Xu Shengtian muttered, "Is this something you can just give as a gift? The bride will probably look down on it..."

Only Jing Ruoxue realized something: the supernatural power on that doll seemed somewhat similar to the power of the ghost within her, both of which were altering the fate of others.

However, the power emanating from the dolls is more extreme, seemingly aiming for death and creating all sorts of accidents.

Ghosts can't die, of course, but at this moment, even the ghost bride was affected.

Originally, it was leading Chu Jiang, intending to kneel facing the divine throne, but at this moment, its foot slipped, and its entire body fell on top of Chu Jiang, knocking him to the ground.

"Bang!" The two newcomers fell to the ground, and blood trickled from the corner of Chu Jiang's mouth. At this moment, he really wanted to die.

An accident did indeed occur, and the wedding ceremony was interrupted.

But now, Chu Jiang felt a cold, damp corpse pressing down on him. This feeling was not good at all, it was even terrible. All that talk about soft jade and warm fragrance was just a lie.

Moreover, due to the extensive physical contact between the two, the supernatural power that was invading suddenly intensified!

Chu Jiang's breath grew weaker and weaker, but the power of Chu Zang was also rapidly spreading across his body.

Since the last confrontation with the Ghost Buddha, Chu Jiang's presence has spread to half of Chu Jiang's chest, and this situation is accelerating!

The force spread to the neck at the top and then stopped, while the bottom continued to devour, transforming the human body into a zombie body; it continued to spread and devour until it reached Chu Jiang's waist before temporarily stopping.

In this way, the inhuman parts of Chu Jiang have spread from his two hands to his arms and his entire upper body; only his head and lower body are still considered alive.

Thanks to this, Chu Jiang suddenly exerted his strength and lifted the ghost bride off him.

Then he grabbed the ghost bride's hand, forcibly pried it open, and stomped his feet hard on the ground, fleeing into the courtyard outside.

The ghost bride, who had been moving slowly, suddenly floated up from the ground and waved to Chu Jiang again.

Although he was facing away from the other person, Chu Jiang suddenly stopped. He turned around with great difficulty and used all his strength to barely control his body so that he would not walk back to the ghost bride.

But what happens next? If the stalemate continues, the ghost bride might resort to more violent methods, such as having the ghost guests forcibly force the groom to continue the wedding ceremony...

Chapter 279 The Deceitful Ghost

Jing Ruoxue stood up at this moment and looked at Chu Jiang, "If we join forces, we might be able to break out of this ghost realm."

"Uh~" Before she could finish speaking, her body suddenly burst into flames as red as blood! These blood-red flames had no heat at all, giving people an extremely cold feeling.

The ghost bride turned her head to "look" at Jing Ruoxue, seemingly having set her sights on this target again.

Jing Ruoxue gritted her teeth, wanting to draw her sword, but Chu Jiang shouted, "Sit down first!"

Hearing this, Jing Ruoxue could only hold back. The power of the ghost within her was also awakening, but her awakening level was very low, only enough for one hand, even lower than when Chu Jiang faced the black sun.

The reason for this is that the Lesser Master of Fate and the Greater Master of Fate pass on the ghosts in different ways.

The ghost of the Great Master of Fate is truly integrated into her bloodline, and Jing Ruoxue had only recently "invited the god to possess her."

To be precise, it was after seeing Chu Jiang's video and recognizing that this generation of Chu Zhan had already appeared in the world.

It was precisely because it took a considerable amount of time to integrate the ancestral ghost into her body that Jing Ruoxue was only now coming to find Chu Jiang.

However, at this moment, under the corrosive influence of this eerie flame, that grayish-white, illusory power began to spread upwards from Jing Ruoxue's right hand...

At this point, Xu Shengtian stopped watching the commotion and started offering advice to Chu Jiang. He shouted, "Brother! Why don't you bow to the bride three times first?"

"Then, according to custom, the bride and groom are led to the bridal chamber, but after drinking the nuptial wine, the groom has to come out and entertain the guests. Only after the music and the guests have left will the groom return to the bridal chamber to spend the night with the bride."

That's clear enough. We can't escape now because the bride is still watching.

After sending the ghost bride to the bridal chamber, Chu Jiang can take advantage of the opportunity to accompany the guests and lead all the living people to escape.

Chu Jiang thought about it for a moment and realized that there was indeed a chance of success.

Because Xu Shengtian's method follows the pattern of the other party's killings, if the ghost bride really follows this process, then the bride and groom will inevitably separate at some point.

But if that happened, Chu Jiang would really have to get married to a ghost, and he really couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

Unless not doing so means certain death, Chu Jiang will try his best to avoid taking that step.

Seeing that Chu Jiang wasn't coming, the ghost bride deliberately floated towards him, and danger struck again...

Surrounded by ghosts and facing the relentless pursuit of the ghost bride, Chu Jiang forced himself to calm down and consider what abilities he currently possessed, what sealed artifacts he had, and how much assistance he could gain from the Ghost Diary.

Suddenly, Chu Jiang thought of a possibility.

Blood began to flow from his right hand, dripping in large amounts of bright red blood that gradually shaped into a human form.

That wasn't enough. Chu Jiang touched the Ghost Diary with his other hand, borrowing the power of the ghost imitation.

By mimicking the ghost's ability, he made the "blood man" look exactly like him, including his appearance, expression, height, and clothing. Every detail was identical!

Then a bizarre scene unfolded: two Chu Jiangs appeared side by side in the courtyard, holding hands. To an outsider at first glance, it was impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.

Even Zhang Dafu and Xu Shengtian, who witnessed the whole thing, were stunned for a moment. Since Chu Jiang hadn't changed his position, they could only temporarily conclude that the one on the left was the real one.

But then, the two Chu Jiangs simultaneously disappeared into the shadows underground and then emerged again. At that moment, they couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake.

Chu Jiang's idea was simple: since the ghost bride was fixated on him, if there were two versions of himself, which one would she choose?

The ghost bride, who was already only a few steps away from Chu Jiang, suddenly hesitated. She turned her head, looked at the Chu Jiang on her left, and then at the Chu Jiang on her right, seemingly unsure which one to choose.

This relieved Chu Jiang a little. Thank goodness, he wasn't the kind of womanizer who wanted everything. Otherwise, even if Chu Jiang conjured up a hundred versions of himself, it wouldn't have mattered.

Of course, the mimicry deserves praise for achieving such an effect.

Even if he could only borrow fifty percent of the ghost's power, it would be enough to deceive people into thinking it was real. The imitation would even have the same aura as Chu Jiang.

To understand the full version of the Imitation Ghost, if it were to imitate Chu Jiang, it could even imitate the ghosts that Chu Jiang possesses, and simultaneously acquire Chu Jiang's memories and thoughts.

Only in this way can one achieve so-called "perfect imitation," with even the way one speaks and acts being exactly the same as the original.

Alright, now Chu Jiang has posed a difficult question: what will the ghost bride do?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the courtyard, the ghost bride fell into a long silence, staring motionlessly at the two Chu Jiangs.

During this time, Jing Ruoxue also relied on the ghost within her body to gradually extinguish the burning blood flames on her body, thus avoiding death from the ghost bride's attack.

If Chu Jiang could effectively trap the other party like this, he should be thanking his lucky stars.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple, or rather, the ghost bride isn't so easy to fool.

It moved again, and this time it seemed to have chosen a target, heading towards the Chu River on its left.

This made Chu Jiang think. His true form was on his right, so the ghost bride couldn't tell which one was the real one.

But the question is, what do we do next?

Because Chu Jiang couldn't create a clone realistically enough using only Bloodhand Ghost's blood manipulation abilities, he had to rely on the power of the Imitation Ghost.

However, if he separates from his blood clone, then the clone cannot maintain its original appearance.

Or rather, it can only last for a period of time. After the supernatural power that Chu Jiang poured into the clone disappears, it will turn into a bloody person again.

By then, the ghost bride will definitely not be able to hide it from her.
