Chapter 133: Night of a Hundred Ghosts (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan were hiding in the guest room and had not gone out.

As for the ones who went out, they were their clones.

Lu Yuan wasn’t surprised that Meng Ruyan had the divine ability to create clones.

After all, as a spy, if she had a clone, it could help her solve many problems.

After knowing that Meng Ruyan had a clone, Lu Yuan could carry out many of his plans.

For example, they could send their clones to the King of Hell’s banquet while they hid in a relatively safe place.

As for why the ghosts could not see the difference between the two clones.

This was the basis for ghosts to judge between living humans and ghosts.

The biggest difference between living humans and ghosts was Yang Qi.

As for the clones, they were also inanimate objects. They did not have Yang Qi or Yin Qi. They were purely inanimate objects.

However, as long as Lu Yuan could solve the problem of Yang Qi, the problem of the clones would be easily solved.

With Lu Yuan’s Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique and a large number of Blood Qi Pills, he was confident that he could do so.

He was fully capable of making two clones possess Yang Qi identical to that of a living person in a short period of time.

After resolving the issue of Yang Qi, having the two clones take their place at the King of Hell’s banquet would not be a problem.

The reason why Lu Yuan was so cautious was because he had previously sensed something strange.

Normally, the relationship between ghosts and living people was like that of natural enemies.

There were very few ghosts that could resist the attraction of the Yang Qi from a living person.

But, after their group of cultivators entered Ghost City, they did not encounter too much trouble at all.

It was as if these ghosts did not have any hostility toward them at all.

This was undoubtedly a very strange thing.

As for his conclusion that the King of Hell must have bad intentions, it came from what the Paper Servant who led the way said to him.

The Paper Servant had revealed that the King of Hell didn’t like outsiders.

The so-called outsiders were naturally them.

“For a group of people you didn’t like, would you let them live in your own residence? One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.”

Lu Yuan believed that the King of Hell most likely intended to gather them all together and then capture them in one go.

To avoid being caught off guard, Lu Yuan had been preparing in advance.

Everything seemed to be going according to his plan, and there were no major surprises.

As the King of Hell, Xuan announced the start of the ‘banquet’.

This banquet that belonged to the ghosts, the hell of the cultivators, instantly kicked off.

In the middle court, at this moment, the cultivators naturally did not hold back their strength. Almost all of them unleashed their full power.

In the blink of an eye, they started running towards the city outskirts.

However, as they fled, the ghosts in the city became excited and started chasing after them.

For a moment, the entire Ghost City was in chaos.

Even some of the servants of the King of Hell’s residence participated in the chase.

Through the information transmitted by his clone, Lu Yuan quickly obtained a clear picture of the situation.

Rather than rushing out immediately, he decided to wait for the King of Hell to leave the residence.

Only after the strongest person had left could they begin their escape plan.

After half an hour passed, the King of Hell Xuan started hunting down the cultivators who had fled the city, relishing the thrill of the hunt.

As a result, the only one left in the King of Hell’s residence was a small Paper Man with average strength.

“Senior Sister, it’s time,” Lu Yuan said.

Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Meng Ruyan nodded and took out her peach wood sword.

At this moment, it was not the time to hold back.

No one could guarantee when the King of Hell would return, or if there were any array left by the King of Hell within the residence.

Therefore, the best solution for the two of them was a quick fix.

However, just as they left the guest room and headed towards the backyard, they unexpectedly met a familiar figure.

“Fellow Daoist Li?”

“Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Meng?”

Zhuang Yangbing looked at Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan who had just walked out of the guest room.

He was a little surprised.

He did not expect that the two of them would hide in the guest room and not venture out.

He had thought that among so many cultivators, he was the only one who had realized the true nature of the King of Hell’s banquet.

But now, it seemed that he was not the only clever one.

The two individuals in front of him were undoubtedly scheming the same thing as he was.

Zhuang Yangbing said, “Fellow Daoists, with more people, comes more power.

Let’s not waste any more time and head to the backyard as soon as possible.”

Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan looked at each other and nodded.

Everything was as Zhuang Yangbing had said. The most precious thing for them right now was time.

The three of them immediately left the guest room and quietly made their way to the middle court.

As long as they passed through this place, they would be able to reach the backyard.

However, not every ghost in the courtyard was chasing after the fleeing cultivators.

There were still quite a few ghosts who had chosen to stay in the courtyard and watch the show.

Among these ghosts, some simply did not like to fight, while others felt that they might not be able to gain anything by going after the cultivators. They figured it was better to stay and drink.

The presence of these remaining ghosts posed a slight challenge for Lu Yuan and the others.

Lu Yuan observed the courtyard for a moment and counted around fifty ghosts still present.

These ghosts had a variety of strengths, with the strongest one having reached the Pseudo Core Stage.

The remaining ghosts were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above. If they wanted to go to the backyard, they had to pass through this courtyard. Thinking of this, Lu Yuan directly said to the two of them, “We can’t keep our strength anymore.”

“I’ve already secretly set up an array in the courtyard. 1 can guarantee that within the time it takes for half an hour, the movements here will not be sensed by the outside world.”

“Senior Sister, are you and Fellow Daoist Li confident in dealing with the ghosts in this courtyard?”

Meng Ruyan looked at the large number of ghosts in the courtyard and placed one hand on her sword hilt.

“Half an hour? It’s enough.”

On the other side, Zhuang Yangbing also took out his magic item, Fish Scale Blood Water Spike.

Lu Yuan asked in surprise as he looked at the magic item, Fish Scale Blood Water Spike.

“Fellow Daoist Li, aren’t you specialized in archery?”

Facing Lu Yuan’s question, Zhuang Yangbing replied without a blush, “Archery and Swordsmanship are almost the same.”

“I’m a bowman, so it’s normal for me to carry a short sword with me, right?”

Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan were speechless.

“You call that normal?”

“Are you not planning to continue acting, right?”

How could swordsmanship and archery be the same thing?

Despite the criticism, Lu Yuan looked at his Fish Scale Blood Water Spike and secretly envied it.

[Fish Scale Blood Water Spike]

[Quality: Low-grade magic item]

[Effect: A magic item made from the demon king, Blood-scaled Fish. The sword’s edge carried a shocking divine soul poison. Those below the Core Formation Stage. Could be killed with a single strike.]

With this magic item, he was truly unbeatable below the Core Formation Stage!

Who could guarantee that they wouldn’t be attacked by this magic item in battle?
