Lin Ji had imagined countless times in advance what the notorious Ghost King of Liangcheng would look like.
But at this moment, the figure of the middle-aged man sitting quietly on the throne, as lifelike as a living person, still broke his imagination.
What he was wearing was nothing more than a satin robe made of ghost energy. It was no different from what Lin Ji himself was wearing.
Her hair was hanging down her back, and her face couldn't be seen clearly, but her eyes were just dark and ghostly, which was quite conspicuous.
Lin Ji took a deep breath and gained courage.
"Liangzhou's chief arrester Lin Ji has met the Ghost King."
The Ghost King didn't open his mouth, maybe Lin Ji couldn't see it.
But the voice rang in Lin Ji's ears.
"Such a young chief arrester? His cultivation in the fourth realm is pretty good... He has the power of thunder hidden in his body. Is this the art of drawing the thunder sword? His eyes are clear and his soul is solid... He is only in the fourth realm.
To be able to do this, you should have learned some kind of Yuan Shen Kung Fu."
After just one meeting and a few simple words, most of Lin Ji's background was revealed.
Lin Ji looked at the Ghost King quietly without saying a word.
"Jian Tiansi asked you to come, aren't you afraid that I will kill you and lose a talented junior for nothing?" There was a bit of ridicule in the Ghost King's tone.
"The matter in Liangcheng has been going on for a long time. The higher ups asked me to send a message and settle the matter." Lin Jisi thought and said.
"Are you asking your little fourth realm to spread the word? Are you looking down on me?"
"Lord Zhan has been here several times, but you have beaten him back." Lin Ji was no longer afraid at this time, and talked eloquently, making up nonsense, "If Supervisor Tiansi comes to be stronger, he will be in the seventh level at least.
Ghost King, you may not feel confident in letting such strong people into the Ghost King City, but no matter how weak they are, they won’t be able to see each other until they reach the fourth realm, which is of no help. That’s why I came here with the Demon Subduing Pestle.”
Lin Ji raised the soul-fixing pestle in his hand.
"The Ghost King will be familiar with this thing. You also said that my talent is also highly valued in Jian Tiansi. Bringing the Demon Subduing Pestle here also shows the sincerity of Jian Tiansi in peace talks. Therefore, in any case, I will
Appearing here is the most suitable choice."
After explaining this, Lin Ji admired his quick wit.
You can really make it up wherever you think of it, and it will be able to justify itself in the end.
If it weren't for the inappropriate location, he would have been happy and contented for a while even if he didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, the Ghost King nodded slightly.
"What are Jian Tiansi's conditions? Has the murderer of my son been found? If my son is not paid with his life, this matter will never be over!"
As soon as the words fell, an almost solid murderous intention penetrated the entire hall.
Lin Ji felt stiff all over.
First, he was shocked by the murderous intent, and second, he was frightened by the ghost king's words.
He vaguely felt that this murderous intention was aimed at him.
Lin Ji didn't let out a long sigh of relief until the murderous aura dissipated.
"I don't know much about the murderer, but Supervisor Tiansi will definitely give the Ghost King an explanation for this matter. I'm just here to convey a message. Please don't make things difficult for the Ghost King anymore."
The Ghost King waved his hand.
"Say it."
Lin Jiru was granted amnesty.
"First, release the soul of the daughter of Luo Xuan, the prime minister of the dynasty, and let her reincarnate."
"Continue." The Ghost King was noncommittal.
"Second, gather your men and stop invading Liangcheng."
"Ah."
Lin Ji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Third, move the Ghost King City away."
After the words fell, Lin Ji couldn't wait for the ghost king's response for a long time.
He raised his head cautiously, only to find that the Ghost King had already appeared in front of him, only two or three meters away.
Lin Ji subconsciously took half a step back, but stopped the meaningless fear in his heart.
This is the territory of the Ghost King, and he has no other choice but to surrender to fate and be slaughtered by others.
"This is what Supervisor Tiansi's conditions are. What does the Ghost King think?"
"Does Supervisor Tiansi look down on me like this?" The Ghost King suddenly came behind Lin Ji.
The gloomy voice made Lin Ji hold his breath.
Before Lin Ji could speak, the Ghost King's voice sounded again.
"I was suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower for hundreds of years. Do you know what those days were like?"
"No matter how great your cultivation is outside, once you go in, you will face endless things, and all you will see is nothingness."
"Have you ever felt like you were burned by the fire of karma?"
"It's an unquenchable flame that burns slowly inside your body. It's not fatal, it doesn't even hurt, it just burns."
Lin Ji was silent, how could he know this.
The Ghost King continued to murmur.
"It has been burning like this for hundreds of years. You will feel yourself being melted away by the fire of karma little by little. If you don't swallow other ghosts, you will slowly dissipate in this long and endless torture."
The Ghost King came to Lin Ji and looked at Lin Ji.
"On the 18th floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, the floor I'm on is full of ghosts. To say nothing of them, they're pretty handsome."
"And I am the last one and the only one who survives."
Hearing this, Lin Ji felt something was wrong.
Hundreds of years of torture are indeed terrifying. If you are an ordinary person, you only need to be locked in a room with no light. It will not take long before you are scared to shit.
There is no concept of time and no concept of space.
Eternal nothingness is indeed torture enough.
But the karma is burned internally by the fire, and only by devouring the same kind can we survive. How can we look at it like raising gu?
And the ghost king in front of him was raised by the Demon Suppressing Tower for thousands of years.
But just when Lin Ji was thinking wildly, he felt the ghostly energy wrap around him.
"It's really ridiculous for Supervisor Tiansi. Seeing me telling my subordinates to restrain themselves, do you really think that there is still room for discussion on the current matter?"
Lin Ji's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he felt the naked murderous intent coming from the Ghost King.
"Boy, let me tell you before I die, I was just waiting for an opportunity."
Lin Ji was speechless, the ghost energy had already invaded him.
If it weren't for the demon-conquering pestle tightly held in his hand, which helped him withstand some pressure, he might have lost consciousness at this time.
"Sooner or later, I will come to Liangcheng in person and let everyone in Liangcheng bury my son with him! Only this matter cannot be discussed!"
A ferocious smile appeared on the Ghost King's face, and he was about to take action.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Ghost King, wait a minute. It's okay to kill this kid, but it would be a waste to bury the magic pestle with him."
While he was talking, a man in white robes suddenly walked out from the direction of the throne and came to the Ghost King.
"It's useless for you to hold this magic pestle, why don't you give it to me?"
Lin Ji was helpless at this time and could only stare blankly at the sudden white-robed man.
He is not a ghost.
The white robe on his body looks familiar.
At the same time, the Ghost King turned his head and looked at the man in white robe.
"It's such a small matter, just say it and come out specially."
As soon as he finished speaking, the violent ghost energy suddenly condensed into a gloomy ghost claw of the Ghost King.
The ghost claw penetrated the chest of the man in white robe!
Lin Ji felt that the shackles of the Ghost King had disappeared, and he fell to the ground, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.
