293: Chapter 291: Your Highness, There are Troublemakers Causing Trouble 293: Chapter 291: Your Highness, There are Troublemakers Causing Trouble Baili Xianxian and the Ghost Sword, Ying Xiu, had temporarily reconciled. After all, they were connected by the friendly bridge that was the Yin King, Qiao Yu. Even if there were some slightly annoying misunderstandings, it did not affect their acquaintance and friendship. “I didn’t recognize the lady just now as the rumored Third Miss of Shifang City. Ying Xiu’s words were quite offensive, and I hope Miss Fang can forgive me.” Upon learning Fang Geyu’s identity from Baili Xianxian, Ying Xiu was shocked, unable to understand how the Demon Lord of Mayhem from Shifang City had ended up in such a perilous place. However, since they were fellow cultivators, they were naturally allies rather than enemies. But Fang Geyu didn’t give him any face, rolling her eyes at him, “Look at how the Crown Prince speaks. If I were just an ordinary girl from a commoner’s family, would it be alright for you to offend me?” Ying Xiu, who had long heard of Fang Geyu’s sharp tongue, just smiled and kept apologizing repeatedly, “Since Miss Fang has appeared in this ghostly place, you must also wish to remove this evil for the people and have captured the Ghost. Now that we’ve gathered here, why not join forces and help each other to get through this place?” Suddenly, Baili An spoke up, “I appreciate your kind intentions, but during the battle just now, both Fang Geyu and I sustained serious injuries and I’m afraid we no longer have the strength to fight. It’s even more embarrassing to say that, having practiced Demon Control from a young age, my skills are not yet perfect. Now that the house is full of demonic insects, I can no longer control them and want only to preserve my life and withdraw from here temporarily. I’m afraid I must disappoint you.” Fang Geyu glanced at him, instantly understanding his intentions and pretended to sigh, “Just now, I saw how fast the Crown Prince ran when the Ghost pulled out the ghost artifact, even faster than a rabbit. And now you’re talking about capturing the Ghost? I think we should just stop here and save ourselves the trouble of us charging into battle while you, sir, surrender at the rear and slip away. That would indeed be quite amusing.” This young lady had a real knack for infuriating people, and suddenly Ying Xiu found it hard to maintain his composure. Yet, beneath his calm exterior, he still suppressed a hint of youthful recklessness. Then, with renewed confidence, he smiled, “Miss Fang, rest assured, if I didn’t have a complete strategy, I wouldn’t be here. Since I come from the Central Netherworld, dealing with the calamities caused by ghosts in the Mortal World is naturally my responsibility. Today, the Ghost will surely be subdued by my sword.” These were not just empty words boasting. The confidence Ying Xiu exuded was genuine. He swept his sleeves, displaying an air of transcendence, “I have commanded Heroic Spirits to set up a spatial Array here, sealing off the desolate house. The Ghost, caught inside, will find escape impossible.” Fang Geyu sneered inwardly. This Ghost Sword seemed elegant and well-mannered, but he was still a peer to Mortal World geniuses like Su Jing and Yin Baishuang. In an incredibly short period of time, he had reached the realm of Chengling. Even though he hid his character well, his inadvertent arrogance as someone used to being superior still showed. With such pride and confidence, he must have come fully prepared before entering the house. Having the power to suppress ghosts, why would he waste his breath persuading their group in the Kaiyuan realm to assist him? After all, it seemed he was still suspicious of Si Chen. As if to prove his point, just then, amidst the snowy clouds above, a sudden roar of thunder cracked, striking a brilliant lightning bolt down. The lightning, bright as white day, illuminated the Abyss below, as well as two pairs of beautiful and icy eyes. That lightning bolt spectacularly split the invisible Barrier above the desolate house, creating a huge gap in the perfect spatial Array. The lightning, like a visionary, continued to strike down like an angry thunder dragon. The lightning hit directly in the swarm of blood-red demonic insects where the Ghost was struggling to break free. That brilliant strike of lightning allowed the Ghost to stretch out a dark, umbrella-shaped Barrier of yin energy. Countless forces of ghostly spirits clung to the Barrier, perfectly protecting him within it. As for the swarm of demonic insects controlled by Baili An to combat the Ghost, they were directly obliterated into residual ash by the thunder, their whispers eerily resonating as they scattered. Inside the Barrier, the Ghost shouted excitedly, “Which good brother came to assist me! Truly thoughtful!” Inside the Inner City of the Ghost House, there were four Ghosts, and naturally, the Ghost wasn’t the only one. The one who assisted then was very likely one of the other three house masters. But considering the clean and direct nature of the thunder, which is the bane of all ghosts, how could it be the work of the Ghost Path. Suddenly, Baili An thought of a possibility and asked, “Young Master Ying, could it be one of your capable subordinates?” Ying Xiu quickly refuted decisively, “Absolutely not. I didn’t instruct her to set up the Barrier, nor to disrupt it with the Thunder Technique. Besides, my subordinates are Ghost Cultivators and do not understand such pure thunder techniques.” He wasn’t about to take the blame for this. His subordinates weren’t that foolish. At that moment, as the clouds in the sky dispersed, a young man in plain clothes, carrying a sword and a spear and stepping on thunder, looked around with sharp eyes. When he saw the red-robed Judge under the apricot blossom tree, his eyes suddenly brightened. He excitedly charged forward on the lightning, kneeling heavily before Ying Xiu, and reverently kowtowed in greeting, “Subordinate Wu Bu, greets the Young Master!” Fang Geyu cast a skeptical look at Ying Xiu. Baili Xianxian gave the Crown Prince of the Central Netherworld a speechless look. Baili An tugged at the corner of his eye, seemingly wanting to see Ying Xiu’s reaction, but then remembered his current tired and hungry state. Never mind. Yin energy surged towards the giant gaping hole created by the lightning, thinking to capture all the Fierce Ghosts in one fell swoop, only for them to escape like fish slipping through a net. Ying Xiu’s temples visibly throbbed, his face flushed and hot to the touch, he steadied himself and looked at the kneeling youth, gritting his teeth, “Weren’t you following my father in cultivation? How did you suddenly come here?” If the young man on the ground could have sprouted a tail at that moment, it would surely have been wagging up a storm by now. The youth’s face, far from his previous arrogance, now looked up at Ying Xiu with fervent eyes, “I came following the Young Master.” A striking red figure drifted in from outside the Barrier, saying helplessly as she floated, “Crown Prince, I was setting up an Array outside when suddenly it was struck and destroyed by a lightning technique. I’m afraid it can’t be mended now.” The kneeling Wu Bu’s heart skipped a beat, looking at the sullen Ying Xiu, and said sheepishly, “Did I ruin the Young Master’s big plan?” Ying Xiu seemed to retain little affection for the youth, not even sparing him a glance. The red figure, who approached with a chilling breeze, was a woman whose presence felt ghostly and cold, her vibrant red dress intensifying her ghostly aura. As she approached, one could clearly feel the chilling cold emanating from her.
