Chapter 285: Netherworld Ghost Bride

Chapter 285: Netherworld Ghost Bride

“Sir, what’s this?”

Jiang Li was slightly puzzled. This was a famous ghost wedding, and it was even inside the Netherworld Illusion. Normally, such a scene meant that it was a great danger, and he would usually choose to take a detour.

If he ran over now, wouldn’t he be walking into a trap?

“Just follow me.”

The cultivator who was unwilling to reveal his name was not afraid as he brought Jiang Li closer to the group.

Beside the wedding team, a ghost dressed as a housekeeper was quickly striking a gong.

“Picking sedan carriers! There are still ten spots left! You must have strong bodies like bulls and horses.”

He knocked on the gong and shouted.

The cultivator pulled Jiang Li away from the group of ghosts and squeezed forward.

“Here, here, there are two here!”

He actually wanted to bring Jiang Li to work there.

He was still holding two coins in his hand. After approaching, he directly stuffed them into the housekeeper’s hand. It was not an exaggeration to say that money could bribe even ghosts.

The housekeeper ghost put away the coins and glanced at them before going forward to touch them. It was unknown what he touched, but the two of them stood out and were chosen to join the team.

“Yes, you’re quite strong. Go over quickly. Go carry the sedan.”

Perhaps because the sword cultivator clone had absorbed the flesh and blood of the Raksha Black Wyrm, his body looked strong and powerful, so he was chosen to be the carrier.

The other person also picked up a carrying pole and was about to run to the side to lift the sedan. Before they separated, he even softly instructed Jiang Li.

“When the time comes, don’t look at anything and don’t say anything. Pick the sedan and walk forward. When we enter the city, we’ll be even.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped looking at Jiang Li and ran to the side to skillfully pick up two baskets of ingots.

As expected, this was his plan. He mixed into the group and entered the city with them.

This thought was quite strange. After a person died and turned into a ghost, they would often repeat what they did when they were alive.

This bridal escort team would most likely appear every day.

If the ghosts in the convoy were powerful enough, even Fengdu City had to give them face. The people in the convoy naturally did not need to pay the city entrance tax and could directly enter.

However, was this really safe? Jiang Li still had some doubts. However, since things had already come to this, even if his clone was really unlucky, the loss was still acceptable.

He controlled his clone to arrive in front of the red sedan.

“Hey, newbie, stand in front. Remember to lie down and act as Miss’ footstool.”

Regardless of whether one was a human or a ghost, there was hierarchy.

Even when carrying a sedan, they had to display seniority.

Jiang Li glanced at the burly man who spoke. His face was covered in a ferocious expression, and it was obvious from the black qi that his ghost body was unable to restrain that this fellow had probably killed many people when he was alive.

If Jiang Li did not use his spiritual qi or his flying sword, it would be quite difficult to resolve this.

However, at this moment, it was Jiang Li’s main body that was controlling this body. The high purity Nine Nether spiritual qi came from the Netherworld, and it was even more pure than ghosts like them.

Apart from that, he had another power that could let the ghosts know that he was not to be trifled with.

Jiang Li smiled and took two steps forward. A strand of blood qi mixed with the Nine Nether spiritual qi condensed in his hand, and then he walked over and slapped.

The robust ghost was slapped to the ground on the spot. Half of his face had already vanished, and he was muddle-headed to the point he was almost slapped away by Jiang Li.

“I call the shots here! Stand in front. Remember to lie down for Miss later!”

Jiang Li taught the guy a lesson with a slap. He stood at the back on the right, at the most relaxed position. On the left, the position that needed to be taken down was arranged for the other party.

The small conflict between the porters did not attract much attention. Only one supervisor saw the ghost with half of his face lying on the ground slacking and came up to whip him twice to wake him up.

There were also many ghosts who wanted to enter this bridal team. Under the summoning of the gong, they were quickly full.

The ghost that looked like a housekeeper had taken out a large number of paper clothes from somewhere.

They were thrown into the air and burned. The mixed group quickly turned into a joyous red color.

Even Jiang Li’s clone was instantly covered in a red robe.

Although the material was only made of paper, it looked quite similar to the real thing.

This kind of paper changing ability was quite convenient. When he had time in the future, Jiang Li planned to learn a thing or two.

“The auspicious hour has arrived. Carry the sedan!”

Jiang Li and the other seven carriers placed their shoulders on the horizontal tree. With just a slight push, the sedan was lifted up.

It was very light. There seemed to be no one above.

He did not know where this “young lady” who was about to get married came from. He hoped that she could really bring the entire sedan team into the city.

The wedding team began to play gongs and drums, but they did not directly walk towards Fengdu City. Instead, they took a detour in another direction.

Not long after, he saw another sedan in a sea of spider lilies.

The sedan was placed alone in the sea of flowers, but it was very lively inside.

The sedan swayed back and forth, and the wooden frame creaked from the shaking.

The laughter of the women inside and the breathing of the men made it very clear what was going on inside.

“Miss, the auspicious hour has arrived.” The housekeeper reminded.

The laughter of the women inside gradually stopped.

“Alright!”

The female voice became cold, followed by the man’s painful wail.

A moment later, the curtains of the sedan in the sea of flowers opened, and a red figure with disheveled clothes fluttered out from within, and it transformed into a phoenix dress in the air. After that, Jiang Li felt the eight sedan he was carrying sink slightly, and this female ghost had already entered.

Through the curtain that had not fallen on the other side, he could see that there was a corpse that had just been sucked dry.

This was clearly another cultivator from the outside world. However, he dared to believe in his luck with women in such a place. He was really tired of living.

However, he also noticed that the sedan chair opposite was tattered for some reason. There were quite a number of fresh ones on it, and there were traces of blade strikes.

After picking up this lady, the convoy finally turned and entered the city.

When the guards guarding the city saw this bridal team, they seemed to be used to it and directly moved aside.

Without any obstruction, they entered Fengdu City.

In terms of prosperity, the city was quite lacking.

What surprised Jiang Li was that there were ruins everywhere. It was as if they had suffered the wrath of heaven.

There were many ghosts knocking on the ruins in an attempt to repair these collapsed buildings.

A small number of districts had already built new houses, but the style of construction was quite different from the current mortal world.

This place seemed to be much older.

The group advanced through the ruins.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination.

However, the destination was not as joyous as he had imagined.

On the large courtyard, there were only two unlit red lanterns.

After carrying the sedan into the door, it was decorated in white.

In front of the hall opposite the door, there was a large coffin that was enough for two people to bury together.

There was no need to guess. This was a ghost marriage after all.

Ghosts would repeat the most memorable things they remembered when they were alive every day. Most of them would repeat the day before they died.

Along the way, Jiang Li looked at the surroundings while carrying the sedan chair.

This female ghost should have been the daughter of a large family when she was alive. When she was married, the escort team was robbed and the young lady was humiliated.

Later, the male’s group arrived and brought her back to the residence, but she discovered that she was going to have a ghost marriage. The husband she was about to marry was actually a dead person!

How despairing would this experience be?

It was also this mouthful of resentment that allowed her to transform into a powerful ghost after she died and grow to her current Ghost King realm.

However, she had experienced the sorrow of ghosts over and over again even until she died.

“Descend the sedan!”

“The newly weds will enter the hall to pay their respects. Guests, please come to the side hall to have tea!”

The housekeeper shouted in a sharp voice.

A few maidservants who were clearly paper effigies helped the bride out of the sedan.

Then, the ghost marriage proceeded with the groom guided by the red threads, after the process was completed, he would be nailed into the coffin and buried under the yellow soil.

This cruel custom attracted Jiang Li’s attention. He did not notice that the cultivator who was unwilling to reveal his name quietly left after putting down the carrying pole and basket.

‘Heh, I’ve already brought you in. Don’t blame me for what happens next.’

He even turned around to look at Jiang Li, but he did not have the intention to remind him, and he directly vanished on the corner of the street.

Jiang Li and the others were led to the side hall and were given a bowl of tea and a purple coin each.

He took a sip. This tea was only a simple tea brewed from carefree grass, and it did not have any material effects. This made Jiang Li slightly disappointed. The coin was the same as the one that the cultivator had given him earlier, but he did not know how it could be used.

In the spiritual hall, the ghost marriage was still ongoing.

Jiang Li looked around the side hall, wanting to find the cultivator who brought him into the city. Only then did he realize that the other party had already disappeared.

Had he fled in advance? Why was he running so quickly?

Stunned, Jiang Li suddenly recalled something.

Why did this marriage team recruit new people every time?

Could it be that an accident would happen every time?

Wait, that greasy-looking housekeeper seemed to have disappeared as well!

Jiang Li was too careless. If he continued to wait, the situation might not be good.

He wanted to leave, but he discovered that the door to the side hall was made of special wood and was even made higher.

This was a special method to imprison the dead.

If he did not recover to his living state, his legs would not be able to cross over no matter what.

Should he recover his living state?

If he recovered to his living state, he would immediately become the target of everyone in this Ghost City.

However, if he did not escape from here, he would die sooner or later.

There was still hesitation here, but it was clearly too late.

Boom!

The sound of the coffin exploding caused the peaceful atmosphere to plummet.

Yin qi covered the entire courtyard. The hatred mixed with the smell of Yin qi proved that this female ghost could not suppress the despair and hatred in her heart even after experiencing this day countless times.

She was going to start the slaughter!

The two ghosts that were acting as the parents-in-law of the ghost marriage in the spiritual hall had long suffered misfortune.

The female ghost vented all her anger on them, but compared to the powerful Ghost King, ordinary haunted houses were as fragile as soap bubbles.

They could not withstand the fury of the ghost and were instantly turned to ashes.

The other ghosts in the house had already left in advance.

The Ghost King had temporarily lost her mind. She only wanted to kill everything in the house. She turned around and looked at the side hall where Jiang Li and the other short workers were.

In theory, everyone they acted as was actually an accomplice. A terrifying aura immediately enveloped the house.

At this moment, two living auras suddenly appeared in the room.

Even Jiang Li could not help but be shocked. It turned out that there were actually two cultivators hidden in this group.

However, at this moment, they clearly could not hold back. They left the side hall and used their artifacts to summon a large amount of fog. After covering their figures, they continuously fled outside.

It was because the female ghost was too powerful that they did not have much confidence in resisting. However, ghosts who had fallen into madness were usually controlled by their obsessions.

If her obsession was to kill everyone in the house, perhaps as long as they left the range of this house, they could escape.

The two of them were both at the Nascent Soul realm and their strength could not be said to be weak.

In such a medium-sized residence, they ran out faster than ordinary people could blink.

But their calves disappeared the moment they stepped out.

Then, black hair wrapped around them and pulled them towards the spiritual hall.

“My dear in-laws, where are you going?”

The Ghost King was still obsessed and treated these two Nascent Soul cultivators as her parents-in-law.

The two Nascent Souls were unlucky. With their cultivation and strength, no matter where they were in the outside world, they would be esteemed guests.

However, they died here so easily.

Jiang Li wanted to seize the opportunity to escape, but when he walked to the door again, he realized that he could not leave.

The female ghost wrapped the entire house in a red veil.

No matter how he attacked, he could not destroy the veil at all.

The difference in level was really too great. Even if his main body was here, it would be useless.

In just a few breaths, the screams of the Nascent Soul completely disappeared.

That boundless killing intent enveloped this side hall again.

The red veil was lifted, and countless black hair surged in like waves.

All the ghosts in the room were riddled with holes and smoke.

This group of unlucky temporary workers had just received their salary and entered Fengdu City. They originally thought that they had profited greatly, but they did not expect that in the blink of an eye, this kind of situation would happen.

Under the methods of the Ghost King, none of the ghosts present could match him.

Only a corpse that was lying on the ground and had already died completely without a soul in its body did not suffer such a calamity.

The raging black hair cleaned up the entire house.

After an unknown period of time, the Ghost King woke up. Her subordinates, including the greasy-looking housekeeper, entered the residence to clean up the mess.

“Eh, this corpse looks good. Put it away in the coffin. We can use it as a groom tomorrow.”

The sword cultivator clone’s corpse was carried in by two ghosts. The corpse in the coffin in the spiritual hall had long been torn to pieces by the Ghost King.

The buildings in the mansion were quickly repaired. After leaving the two guardian ghosts behind, they all left.

They still had to prepare for tomorrow’s ghost marriage.

After an unknown period of time, the sword cultivator clone in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes.

He searched his body briefly. He was lucky that this body was not badly injured.

Earlier, it was Jiang Li who had pulled the first Parallel Mind back to the main body’s consciousness to take refuge.

In any case, with the situation at that time, there was no way to escape or fight. It was better to pretend to be dead.

The body was dead, but the soul could not be left behind.

If it was still torn apart, he could only blame his bad luck.

Fortunately, his luck had always been good. A mere corpse did not attract the attention of the Ghost King and successfully escaped the calamity.

After waiting for a long time, he sent the parallel mind over without being discovered immediately.

However, what was going on?
