Chapter Three, The Four Ghosts of Dongyao.

Rebellion? If I'm not mistaken, this so-called beast slave should be the result of forcibly implanting the blood of demonic beasts into ordinary people's bodies. Do you know that such practices are strictly prohibited in the Southern Heaven? I could let go of your crimes for now, but how dare you turn around and question me!

I never thought I could escape for such a long time and still be caught by you. Alright, according to the rules of the government, I will cut off my own legs, but this matter has nothing to do with these two people. Just take me back with you. The beast-faced girl saw the four of them appear and became calmer instead. She gritted her teeth and replied.

Upon seeing the attire of these four individuals, the scholar's expression slightly darkened, revealing a hint of solemnity for the first time.

Upon hearing this, Niú Miàn Rén was left speechless.

If you say you are from the Zhong family, then you are indeed part of the Zhong family. I was just saying that we are from the Gong Sun family!

The man with a horse face felt a chill in his heart. He dared not look any longer and threw the token to the Fire Girl. He whispered to the others, "Indeed, it is the Zhong family's identity token. After all, only those immortal clan families would be willing to use Tianluo iron to forge their identity tokens."

No, how do you know that the Zhong family does not possess the spell of soul retrieval? If we can't capture this girl, it will be difficult for us to explain when we go back. But if we really provoke the Zhong family, even if we return to the Eastern Yard, our lives will not be guaranteed. Do you think that if those old monsters from the Zhong family really find their way to the mansion, Lady Guimu would offend the Zhong family for the sake of a few of us at the Foundation Building stage?

The ox-faced man and the woman with the blue skull mask glanced at each other, then dispersed without a word, vaguely joining the other two to surround the scholar.

When Zhong Chen said this, the four people on the opposite side looked at each other in astonishment.

The ox head, are your two eyes blind? Speaking lightly, these two people are not ordinary mortals, but cultivators. The woman next to him wearing a red skull mask sneered in response.

You are a foundation building cultivator, and you even know the name of my Ghostly Mansion. It seems that you are not an ordinary person. May I ask for your honorable surname and given name, as well as your place of origin in the immortal realm? Perhaps there is some connection between you and my Ghostly Mansion.The face under the mask of the horse-faced man looks ugly. He asked one word at a time, then slowly drew a black short sword from his chest.

Not bad. Giving up the chance to chase after this girl is also an option, as long as you can handle a joint attack from the four of us. In this way, even if we return empty-handed, we can still report to Lady Guimu.

Is it the Zhong family, the one from the thirty-six immortal clans?

The horse-faced man is obviously the highest-ranking among these four people. After a brief contemplation, he made a decision and then looked at Zhong Chen, solemnly saying, "Even if the Zhong family is powerful, we cannot just leave based on a few words like this. Otherwise, we won't be able to establish ourselves in the Ghost Palace in the future."

Although Tianluo Iron is rare, few people dare to keep it without returning it, after all, no one knows if there are any strange restrictions planted on it.

After inspecting the token, Huonv lowered her gaze with a sullen expression and threw the object back to Zhongchen.

Since you are truly a member of the Zhong family, it is not surprising that you have achieved the foundation building cultivation at such a young age. However, this girl is a beast slave who escaped from our Ghost Mansion. Even though the Zhong family is one of the three great immortal clans in the southern sky, they cannot obstruct our mansion from capturing the rebel, can they?

Upon hearing these words, the other three individuals' expressions slightly relaxed, and the Bull-faced Man burst into laughter, saying, "If it's just a casual remark, then there's no problem. The Fire Woman hasn't made a move yet, but we'll wait for the right moment!"

As for Shi Wu, he was a book boy who had been following him since he entered the Zhong family. He needs his assistance to retrieve something this time, so he had already asked him to wait nearby for the rendezvous.

This is the identity badge of the immortal clan family. You should recognize it. With a cold gaze, Zhong Chen made the gourd in his hand disappear with a flash, and then threw out a shiny silver token with his other hand.

The Fire Girl did not refute anything this time, giggled lightly a few times, raised her hand, and made a loud sound as it broke through the air.

Is he also a cultivator? It's so unlikely to encounter such a thing in such a remote place! The ox-faced man was stunned, his gaze swept over the two people again, and finally fell on the cloth bag next to the scholar, which was emitting a white light.

"Oh, from the tone of Daoist friend, do you want an explanation?" Zhong Chen vaguely understood the other party's meaning, and narrowed his eyes.

Upon seeing these four masked men and women, the book boy's eyes rolled a few times before he swiftly "swooshed" and hid behind Zhong Chen, with an exceptionally skilled movement as if he had practiced it countless times.

The magical tool is indeed used by cultivators. However, with such weak spiritual power, it is probably not even a refined product. Even if these two are cultivators, they are still wandering cultivators who are refining their Qi. There is no need to pay attention to them.The horse-faced man beside him spoke up. His voice was unusually hoarse, as if his throat had been squeezed halfway by someone's hand.

Water attribute spiritual weapon, you are a foundational cultivator! The fire woman witnessed this scene, and her heart sank instantly. The movement of waving the feather fan in her hand, which she had originally intended, suddenly came to a halt.

Only to see that one side of the token is engraved with densely packed runes, while the other side bears a giant mountain pattern with a faint blue "clock" character in the middle. However, what is strange is that at first glance, this character seems unremarkable, but if one gazes carefully, there is an immediate sensation of dizziness.

He came to the temple this time to retrieve something that had been sealed by him several years ago. However, to his surprise, before he could get hold of the item, trouble came knocking on his door. Naturally, this made him feel frustrated.

"I don't care how things are done in the Gregorian calendar, but this is Tian Nan. You must abide by the local rules here, otherwise I don't mind informing the clan about this matter," Zhong Chen said rudely with a sneer.

Upon hearing these words, the three people next to them lit up with excitement in their eyes.

A mere beast slave, dare to negotiate terms with us! Have you forgotten the rules of the Ghost Palace? Anyone who deals with the Ghost Clan must be eliminated. Fire Lady, these two mortals are yours. I remember your Bone Fire technique, but it seems to lack some materials.

What do you want to do? My young master's surname is Zhong. In Tiannan Prefecture, do you dare to make a move against our Zhong family?

The Ghost Mansion? There is a den of ghosts in Dongyao. I have long heard that they act arrogantly and recklessly, claiming to be the number one force in the Dongyao wild mountains. Today, upon seeing them, their reputation is well-deserved. However, this is not the Dongyao wild mountains, but the Tiannan Prefecture.Upon reading these two sentences, the scholar casually flipped his hand and suddenly produced a blue-black gourd. With a slight shake, a layer of blue ripples spread out.

When those fire beads touched the blue light, they seemed to encounter a nemesis, and one after another they flickered and extinguished.

The scholar naturally refers to Zhong Chen, who recently killed the Mu Kui spirit on Qi Jian Mountain.

The man with a horse face quickly grabbed the token with sharp eyes, and carefully looked at it several times.

What should we do? This kid is so arrogant and doesn't give any face to our Ghost Mansion. If we can't catch that girl back, we will definitely be blamed by our superiors. Since there is no one else here, let's just kill this kid. No one will leak the information, and even if the Zhong family finds out, what can they do to us?

Under a wave of scorching heat, more than ten fire beads the size of chicken eggs flew out from his sleeves and shot towards Zhong Chen and Shu Tong. Then, with another mouthful, he unexpectedly spat out a red feather fan about the size of a thumb, which swayed in the wind and instantly transformed into a size of about a foot.

The fusion of the blood essence of demonic beasts is strictly prohibited in the southern region, because the prominent families in the south have long possessed a secret technique for refining the bloodline imprints of demonic beasts. However, in the Xiyuan Province where Dongyaoshan is located, such claims simply do not exist. Young Master Zhong's words are intended to deliberately trouble us.

Very good, very good! Mu Yatou, you finally know how to have some fun and didn't continue to run away. Now, do you want to cut off your own legs or let this lord do it for you? The ox-faced man looked over the three people in the temple and his gaze fell on the young girl as he spoke viciously.

The words of Huonv make some sense, but it's definitely not feasible for us to go back like this. You guys have forgotten the temperament of the newly appointed Ghost Mother.

Hehe, is there another cultivation family in Tiannan Prefecture? How dare they call themselves the Zhong family?
