My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Bang!

A dark shadow flashed by and then crashed into the city wall of Fengdu Ancient City.

The Ghost King grabbed Qi Yu by the neck and pressed him against the city wall. Countless black hands reached out from the ancient city of Fengdu and entangled Qi Yu.

"Your soul is quite good, I'll accept it. Once I've thoroughly investigated your background, I'll transform you into a ghost general, so you don't need to worry about dying!" The Ghost King said calmly.

If even a Saint Realm expert like him can't crush an opponent, then his Saint Realm is just too fake.

"You are the corpse god of the Dao Ancestor, right?"

Even with his neck being grabbed, Qi Yu remained defiant, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Ye Chen? I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. I'm his Corpse God!" the Ghost King said calmly.

The Immortal Ancestor's surname is Ye, the First Sage's surname is Ye, and the Dao Ancestor's surname is Ye, because they all share the same lineage.

Ye Chen is the name of the Dao Ancestor, which sounds like the name of the protagonist.

In fact, Dao Zu was indeed a protagonist, but he was the protagonist of an era, and now his time has come to an end.

"The Dao Ancestor spared your life back then, but you have not repented. Aren't you afraid that the Dao Ancestor will cause you trouble?" Qi Yu coughed and asked with a smile.

A smile finally appeared on the face of Ghost King Chi Li, his blood-red eyes fixed on Qi Yu's eyes.

Each Corpse God possesses a unique ability. Qi Yu, who is a Corpse God through fusion, has the ability to read minds, while Lin Ruoxi's Corpse God ability is prophecy.

The Ghost King is a corpse god, and his special ability is called the Soul Binding Technique!

It's specifically designed for the soul!

Enslaving the soul, as for exploring and erasing memories, those are just basic operations.

He had no interest in Qi Yu's words. If Qi Yu intended to use the matter of the Dao Ancestor to disturb his mind, then Qi Yu was making a grave mistake.

What he's really interested in now is Qi Yu's soul!

In the blood-red pupils, Qi Yu's reflection was mirrored. Gradually, a purple butterfly appeared in Qi Yu's pupils, then slowly shrank.

This butterfly will be imprinted deep in Qi Yu's soul, and Qi Yu will become his servant.

In terms of enslaving souls, the Ghost King Chili is the true master.

But at that moment, Qi Yu laughed and tapped his finger lightly.

The Ghost King sensed something and was about to turn around when a black crack appeared behind him. Two enormous claws, each as tall as a person, emerged from the crack and then slowly closed.

The Ghost King tried to escape, but he sensed the power of rules on those two claws—a power that only a Saint could possess.

At most, a sub-saint uses the power of rules, but a saint directly enslaves the rules, because the saint is the rules themselves.

The owner of these two claws is also from the Holy Realm!

The Ghost King tried to escape using the power of the rules, but he was still swatted by the two claws, just like swatting a fly.

"It's you! Nine..."

Before the Ghost King could finish speaking in shock, his two claws had already retracted into the crack, and the crack was slowly healing.

After the Ghost King left this space, the ancient city of Fengdu became an empty city, and the ghostly hand that had grabbed Qi Yu also dissipated because it had lost its source of power.

Qi Yu slid down from the city wall, kneeling on one knee, his face covered in cracks.

He couldn't defeat the Ghost King; he was arrogant and never imagined he could take down a Saint Realm expert all by himself.

So he hired a helper!

Those two paws belonged to the fox from the far north ice plains. That fox had lived for over nine thousand years, and its strength was far beyond that of the Ghost King, a mere ghost with only three thousand years of lifespan.

Even Dao Ancestor Ye Chen, upon seeing this fox, would have to respectfully bow and address it as Spirit Venerable.

In the ancient city of Fengdu, the Ghost King is practically invincible because he cannot be destroyed or killed.

But once he leaves the ancient city of Fengdu, he is nothing more than a corpse god in the Saint Realm.

Ye Qingrou lost to him twice, and promised to help him twice.

This is the last time!

The last time was when I broke through to the Quasi-Saint level!

The Ghost King has been captured by the Nine-Tailed Fox, so he will probably never be able to return to Fengdu Ancient City in this lifetime.

This ancient city of Fengdu has become a city without an owner.

After adjusting his breathing and suppressing his injuries, Qi Yu staggered into the ancient city of Fengdu.

The Holy Realm itself is the embodiment of rules, unlike them, who, as Quasi-Saints, need to release their domains to use certain rules.

In the hands of the Ghost King, his domain was as fragile as paper, easily broken.

If the Ghost King hadn't wanted to preserve his soul, he could have ended the Ghost King's life with a single blow.

It's as simple as taking down those Daoist masters yourself!

As Qi Yu stepped into the ancient city of Fengdu, gusts of eerie wind blew from all directions, and paper money filled the air, fluttering everywhere with the wind.

The ancient city of Fengdu is deathly silent, with coffins and tombs being the most common objects.

Ghosts live in coffins and graves!

Qi Yu's gaze fell on the palace in the center of the city.

This is the Ghost King's Palace, the core of the ancient city of Fengdu.

The Ghost King's Palace was smaller and had a more old-fashioned style compared to his own academy.

The Ghost King is not coming back for the time being; his target is the ancient city of Fengdu.

If the Ghost King dies, then the person who steps into the Ghost King's Palace and sits on the throne will be the new Ghost King.

Qi Yu walked unsteadily toward the Ghost King's Palace.

The Ghost King in my heart isn't dead, but he won't live much longer.

If this ancient city of Fengdu could be destroyed, that would be the best outcome.

Unfortunately, Qi Yu did not have that kind of strength.

This ancient city of Fengdu is protected by a strange power that deflects any attack.

After walking through the long street, Qi Yu arrived at the Ghost King's Palace, where a stone staircase paved with black stones appeared before him.

The stone steps were carved with intricate patterns, which Qi Yu found somewhat familiar.

After thinking back for a moment, I remembered that the stone steps in front of Changsheng Temple had this same pattern.

When I first went to the Changsheng Temple, Qin Xiu said that only the leader of the sect and the emperor could pass through it.

This is called "enlightening the Way" in Taoist scriptures!

The Way of Enlightenment can also be called the Way of the Underworld!

It means the road to the underworld!

Could there really be an underworld?

With a soft laugh, Qi Yu lifted his foot and stepped onto the Path of the Underworld.

Even if this road leads to hell, what is there to be afraid of?

Qi Yu approached the Ghost King's Palace step by step. When he stepped over the last stone step, he finally saw the interior of the Ghost King's Palace.

The so-called Ghost King's Palace is just an empty hall, much like the Golden Palace where the emperor held court.

However, this Ghost King's Palace is black!

The floor was made of black jade, the throne was made of black jade, everything was black.

Qi Yu stepped into the Ghost King's Palace. The moment he landed, a gust of cold wind rushed out of the palace, causing Qi Yu's robes to flutter loudly.

When the eerie wind subsided, Qi Yu finally looked at the Ghost King's throne.

Before the throne was a table, on which lay a black jade seal.

The Ghost King's Seal!

According to Ye Qingrou, by pressing the Ghost King Seal onto a certain part of one's body, one can become the Ghost King.

However, this can only be done after the previous Ghost King has died or lost contact.

Once the Ghost King's Seal is taken away, Fengdu Ancient City will become nothing more than an empty city without its own will.

Qi Yu was just about to take the Ghost King's Seal when he involuntarily raised his eyelids and looked behind the throne.

Pop, pop, pop!

Suddenly, rhythmic clapping sounds rang out in the main hall, crisp and melodious.

A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a black and white Taoist robe stepped out from behind the throne. Her blood-red eyes looked at Qi Yu, and a smile that seemed both mocking and contemptuous played on her lips.

Lin Ruoxi!

"Just as I predicted, Young Master Qi indeed has a way to deal with the Ghost King. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Ghost King's Seal!"

Lin Ruoxi sat down on the throne, her two long, slender legs crossed, and looked down at Qi Yu.

"Did you plan this all along?" Qi Yu asked, frowning.

Lin Ruoxi smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

"I have prophetic abilities, so isn't it normal for me to make some arrangements in advance?"

Qi Yu fell silent. This corpse god of Lin Ruoxi had the ability to predict the future, similar to his mind-reading ability, but it was more practical.

With her prophetic abilities, Lin Ruoxi can foresee what will happen in the future and make arrangements in advance.

Faced with such an enemy, I was completely at a loss.

This ability is practically a cheat code!

Lin Ruoxi leaned forward slightly, grasped the Ghost King's Seal, then looked at the seal mark on its base and smiled. Under Qi Yu's gaze, Lin Ruoxi put the Ghost King's Seal away and placed it in a box.

Qi Yu doesn't want to become the Ghost King, and Lin Ruoxi probably won't either!

Because the Ghost King cannot leave the ancient city of Fengdu for a long time, becoming the Ghost King is tantamount to imprisoning oneself.

Unless Lin Ruoxi is stupid, she wouldn't brand the Ghost King's Seal on herself.
