Chapter 150.

Jiang Ran was slightly silent.

Like to eat, drink, whore and gamble …… At least it didn t bring a pitfall with it.

Reaching out to touch the back of his neck, Jiang Ran, for some reason, suddenly skimmed over Li Tianxin.

He saw that Li Tianxin was staring with wide eyes.

Only after realizing that Jiang Ran was looking at him did he hurriedly clean up his expression and grin:

“T’ang Ghost King’s heir …… this, hobbies are quite extensive.”

“Huh.”

The corner of Jiang Ran’s mouth twitched.

“……”

The Infernal Ghost King didn’t know what to say for a moment.

But with the words out of his mouth, it was just as well to break the mold.

“The time he spends in a day is mostly used for gambling.

“And, good at cheating.

“He’s so good at it, he’s almost unbreakable.

“After gambling, he goes to the Pinnacle Restaurant to eat, and he eats whatever is tricky.

“Also have to let the workshop of the Yellow Springs Wine Shop workshop master a he sent wine …… the best wine.

“Finally eat and drink enough, he will go to rest in the Raider of the Spirit Building.

“But I heard that the girls at Raiders of the Spirit House are very fond of him.

“He is so busy, every day can take out an hour to cultivate, has been rare.

“But on the contrary …… martial arts progress by leaps and bounds, it can be said to be unimaginable.”

“Things in this world are always this unfair.”

Ruan Yuqing felt a little hard to hear.

People were living such a dashing life, but their martial arts were advancing by leaps and bounds, and those of them who had been practicing hard day and night were not as good as the other party by a thousand percent.

This is naturally unfair.

But this jianghu, this world, when has there ever been absolute fairness?

“Master also once said this, his old man told me that he was initially unconvinced. Obviously he is the senior brother, but he is always weaker than the senior brother ……”

The Infernal Ghost King murmured and spoke:

“But after a long time, it was put down.

“One can compete with people, but not with those existences that cannot be called people ……

“So much so that in the end, when that master uncle of mine wanted to leave the Ghost King Palace and set foot in the jianghu.

“Master surprisingly didn’t feel happy at all.

“Because that would be the time when he also felt that this my senior uncle was the most suitable to become the Lord of the Ghost King Palace.”

“What happened later?”

Jiang Ran said, “Earlier, Zhuge Mingyu said that if you want to leave the Ghost King Palace, you need to go through the Floating Pagoda, so what about that?”

“This king already said that just now.”

The Infernal Ghost King frowned slightly, feeling that he had said too much tonight.

But the words were here, so it was just as well to make it clear:

“If an ordinary person wants to leave the Ghost King’s Palace, they need to pass through the Mindless Ghost Wall.

“If an expert wants to leave, he or she also needs to go through this King’s personal hand to erase his or her person’s memories and impressions of the Ghost King’s Palace.

“And an expert like this king’s master uncle, with that kind of status.

“If you want to leave here, the only way to do so is to go through the Floating Pagoda, the first dangerous place within this Ghost King Palace. ……

“However, although it is said to be the first dangerous place, its own construction is just over a hundred years.

“But although the time is not long, but every person who stepped into it, are alive to go in, dead to come out.

“So, when my master heard that my uncle wanted to break through the Floating Pagoda to leave the Ghost King’s Palace, he found him …… and fought him hard.”

“……”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said:

“The outcome of this segment is probably conceivable.

“He came out alive after entering the Floating Tower?”

“En.”

The Infernal Ghost King nodded gently:

“He came out alive, but unfortunately, the Infernal Hundred Floating Diagrams that he had practiced so diligently for many years were all ruined.”

“He lost all his martial arts?”

Jiang Ran was stunned, these previous details made Jiang Ran feel that this Infernal Ghost King’s uncle was very similar to the old drunkard.

However, if he had lost all his martial arts skills, it did not correspond.

After all, amongst all the content that had been passed down by word of mouth, the old drunkard’s martial arts was the best in the world!

Moreover, if he was inherited from the Ghost King Palace, how could he have inherited the Nine Blades of the Frightening God?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran shook his head, feeling as if he was oversensitive.

Whenever he encountered something, he associated it with the old drunkard.

It wasn’t like Old Drunkard was the only one who liked to do things like eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

“That’s right.”

The Infernal Ghost King nodded, “He lost all of his martial arts skills, it’s just that Master said that despite this, he still had an easy smile on his face.

“Later, the Ghost King of that meeting, that is, this king’s master-gong showed up.

“Helped him stabilize his injuries, and only after that did the party personally assign the eight of Joy, Sorrow, Life, Old Age, Disease and Death to follow him out of the Ghost King’s Palace.

“The purpose is to protect him.

“Just this deep years, they since then, has never come back to this Ghost King Palace.”

“Your senior uncle …… what is his name?”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment, but still couldn’t help but ask this.

“Don’t know.”

The Infernal Ghost King said handsomely:

“The Ghost King Palace is all lonely souls and wild ghosts, where does the name come from?”

“……”

Pretend you sister ah!

Jiang Ran gently let out a breath, feeling that even after hearing this story to the end, he couldn’t be sure what this master uncle of his was.

With a slight movement of his mind, he suddenly opened his mouth again and asked:

“Speaking of which, since you are the current Ghost King, what happened to the previous Lord Ghost King?

“Is it still alive today?”

“…… Not anymore.”

The Infernal Ghost King spoke indifferently:

“Twenty years ago, the benefactor somehow left the Ghost King Palace to fight with someone, and fought all over his body.

“It was also in the winter of that year that he met me and brought me back to the Ghost King Palace to adopt me, and taught me everything he had learned.

“But his old man, but day and night to bear the torment of internal injuries.

“It is this kind of persistence for seventeen years, until feel that this king can support this ghost king palace after …… only then spread his hands to return.”

“I see …… so.”

Jiang Ran nodded, but his brow wrinkled tighter.

Twenty years ago ……

Twenty years ago himself was picked up by the old drunkard in the middle of a snowy night.

Twenty years ago the former Ghost King didn’t know who he was fighting with and was seriously injured.

Is this a coincidence, or did something extraordinary really happen that winter twenty years ago?

As this thought rolled around in his mind, he glanced at the Infernal Ghost King again.

The Infernal Ghost King’s eyes were already all impatient as he waved his hand:

“What else do you want to ask, ask it all in one breath!”

“…… Nothing, I just want to ask, where is this Faust Tower? Can I go and admire it?”

Jiang Ran smiled, and didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed when he said this.

The Infernal Ghost King glanced at him and sighed:

“You can go, this king will take you there.”

“Many thanks.”

Jiang Ran was instantly delighted.

He actually didn’t know why he wanted to go see this Floating Pagoda, but after hearing all the stories, it was always a good idea to take a look to feel at peace.

The crowd immediately moved off, following this Infernal Ghost Dynasty as they rushed towards the Faust Tower.

And those ‘evil ghosts’ surrounding the king’s palace have long been dispersed by the Infernal Ghost King.

Nowadays, there were traces of ‘ghosts’ on the streets, but they all seemed to be a little confused, gathering together in twos and threes, doing their own things, but still unable to resist discussing what had just happened.

Seeing the Infernal Ghost King waving around with a group of living beings, there was even more chatter.

Along the way, Ruan Yuqing gave an answer to the question Jiang Ran had just asked.

When Biduanzi had met Ruan Yuqing earlier, he had said that he had an old friendship with the Water Moon Sword Sect.

This was naturally not a bond, but a grudge.

Ruan Yuqing told Jiang Ran that Biduanzi was greedy for women, and since the Water Moon Sword Sect was a women’s sword sect, he could not help but be missed by this man.

One of the seniors in the sect met with this man on the left side of the road and ended up dying at his hands.

Water Moon Sword Sect is united, after knowing the truth, naturally want to be immortal with this Biduanzi.

Several times they surrounded and intercepted, but this person escaped.

Then later, what this person did was known by more people, not allowed in the jianghu, so disappeared into obscurity.

Of course, nowadays it was all known that he had actually gone to the Heartless Ghost Mansion.

Ruan Yuqing had never expected to meet him here.

But once that Green Mountain Stacking Intent Hazy came out, his identity was exposed.

This was naturally to avenge his master’s elders.

Jiang Ran nodded at his words, “Feel free to kill him if you want to, it was originally taken down by you guys, when the time comes, the head will be left for me.”

“In this matter, I, Water Moon Sword Sect, will also miss your favor.”

Ruan Yuqing let out a light laugh, “It’s just that the Red Leaf Villa’s favor has yet to be repaid, this owes seems to be getting more and more.”

“If you really can’t, you can give your body in return.”

This was not said by Jiang Ran, it was muttered by Li Tianxin on the side rolling her eyes.

Ruan Yuqing froze and glanced at Jiang Ran before shaking her head repeatedly:

“Not to mention that there is still Miss Ye, even if there isn’t …… I’m still two or three years older than him, if I give my body in return, isn’t this a favor?”

Jiang Ran glanced at Li Tianxin and said with a smile:

“Brother Li, after waiting to leave from this Ghost King Palace, you and I will have a good talk?”

“……”

Li Tianxin immediately lost his mind to speak.

Between the casual conversations, the Infernal Ghost King soon led them to the front of a large courtyard.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, looking around he didn’t see any traces of a tower.

The Infernal Ghost King then casually opened the gate of the courtyard, creaking a sound, the situation in the courtyard has been presented in front of everyone.

Jiang Ran looked at the wreckage in the center of the courtyard, then looked at the Infernal Ghost King:

“Collapsed?”

“En.”

The Infernal Ghost King nodded:

“Back then, this tower collapsed after Senior Uncle came out of the Faust Tower.

“It seems to have triggered some kind of mechanism.

“That’s why Senior Uncle was injured like that.

“The Faust Tower was ultimately very meaningful to the Ghost King Palace, so Shifu wouldn’t let anyone clean this place and kept the ruins.

“Master, on the other hand, said that it was because Senior Gong couldn’t bear to let go of Senior Uncle, so he left this one trace behind, which is considered to be one more point of remembrance.”

Jiang Ran sighed softly:

“Then what’s the point of coming to see ……”

“We’ve all come, so let’s take a look.”

The Infernal Ghost King said:

“After you’re done looking, it’s time for you guys to leave from here.”

Jiang Ran didn’t say anything and stepped into this courtyard.

Just as he entered, he heard a short scream from outside the door, thinking that Ruan Yuqing had already decapitated that Biduanzi.

Jiang Ran didn’t care, this person was going to die anyway.

It didn’t matter if he died early or late.

Walking between the broken walls, Jiang Ran’s eyes wandered between the broken bricks and tiles, not knowing what he was looking at.

Sighing softly, he was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly frowned.

Following the trajectory of the gaze moved from the party, a little bit back to explore …… finally landed on a broken wall.

There is a mark on the broken wall ……

The trace is odd, obviously not a knife mark, but it contains the meaning of a knife.

It seems that someone has used his finger to replace the knife, thus chopping out.

Jiang Ran quietly looked at the trace, and after a moment, a flash of a blade seemed to be reflected in the depths of his eyes.

Immediately, he tapped the Heavenly Qian Nine Steps in a row, wanting to avoid it.

However, he realized that this blade followed him like a shadow, and whether it was the Nine Heavenly Qiansteps or the Subterranean Shadow Misty God Steps, he was rigidly unable to get out of the range of this blade.

“How could this be?”

Jiang Ran’s heart was certain, and the Creation Positive Heart Sutra turned.

With a clear mind, he had thought that this knife mark would just disappear, but he found that the knife dangling in his eyes was instead becoming clearer and clearer.

A swift flash!

The blade mark eventually landed on Jiang Ran’s left shoulder.

He looked down, and his shoulder was unharmed.

That blade awn, after all, was not real.

“Your Excellency!”

“Young warrior Jiang.”

“Master!”

When Ruan Yuqing, Luo Qingyi, and Rotten Gambler saw Jiang Ran bouncing in place, they all knew that the situation wasn’t right and rushed forward.

Li Tianxin, on the other hand, stared at the Infernal Ghost King.

It made the Infernal Ghost King’s heart go cold ……

Just as he was about to look for where that stare came from, he saw Jiang Ran wave his hand:

“I’m fine.”

Only then did Li Tianxin take back his gaze, following which he raised his neck, holding the knife in his hand as he slowly walked towards Jiang Ran and the others, saying as he did so:

“You’re childish, at your age, you can still be this spunky.”

“…… You take a look at this wall.”

Jiang Ran reached out and pointed.

“What’s wrong with this wall?”

Li Tianxin followed Jiang Ran’s finger and saw the marks on the wall:

“Isn’t it just a finger mark?

“It’s all unusual reasoning for an internal expert to use his finger as a pen and be able to write on boulder cliffs, but it’s just a scratch on the wall, what’s the big deal?”

“…… You don’t see it? You look closely!”

“??”

Li Tianxin frowned slightly and gazed at it, and after a moment, he looked at Jiang Ran in confusion:

“What do you want me to look at?”

Jiang Ran froze, looking at Li Tianxin’s appearance, it seemed that he really didn’t see anything.

In addition to Li Tianxin, Ruan Yuqing and the others were also looking around the wall.

But after looking around, none of them felt that there was anything odd.

The Infernal Ghost King also came to Jiang Ran’s side at some point:

“It seems that only you can see the oddities on this wall ……

“What exactly do you see?”

“The …… knife.”

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, “A very lingering knife!”

“Lingering knife?”

The crowd glanced at each other, and Ruan Yuqing said softly:

“Could it be that this is the truth about the Floating Pagoda? Someone has set up a martial arts trap within the tower to lure people into a state of fixation, and then cut them down with the intent of the blade?”

“It shouldn’t be that simple.”

Jiang Ran gently exhaled:

“If that’s the case, this trace shouldn’t have appeared on the wall.

“Even more so, it shouldn’t be just this one place ……

“This should have been left behind by the person who stepped into the Floating Pagoda back then.

“This person, within the Floating Slaughter Tower, should have had some epiphanies.”

When Jiang Ran said this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the trace again.

A moment later, the blade aura was once again reflected in the depths of his eyes.

Only this time, Jiang Ran was prepared and fixed his eyes on it.

But if he wanted to dodge away, he still couldn’t do it.

This last time, the blade’s awnings landed on his throat.

At this instant, Jiang Ran’s heart was a little bitter.

“This is a blade mark he left behind decades ago, but to this day, I’ve actually been cut down twice by this blade mark.

“Over the years, to what extent would the blade technique of the person who left this mark have been refined?”

Jiang Ran took a deep breath and looked at this blade mark once more.

This time was different from the previous two times, he had some calculations in mind, so this blade that was already somewhat familiar to him suddenly became even clearer.

And this time he was not directly cut down by this blade.

Because as soon as the Shattered Gold Blade came out, the blade and the blade’s aura collided under his eyes, dispersing each other.

The crowd saw that Jiang Ran had drawn his sword, and immediately gave way from this.

Jiang Ran this is obviously to sense martial arts, they stay around, one to disturb, two to Jiang Ran if the thing is two, by the way to take them to test the knife …… that is not the death of a very wrong?

Infernal Ghost King eyes of the luster is a little complicated, also do not know what came to mind.

The crowd then gathered on one side, quietly waiting.

This wait was an incense stick of effort.

Jiang Ran seemed to be fighting someone.

In the beginning, he mainly focused on dodging and responding, yet without realizing it, the process began to lengthen.

It seemed like he was able to see more and more moves, and the changes became more and more complex.

At the extreme, the Shattered Gold Blade in Jiang Ran’s hand flashed a cloud of golden colors and danced impervious to the wind.

The evolution of the moves was even more exhaustive in its ability to change, which was mind-blowing.

However, in the second half of this incense burning period, Jiang Ran’s moves began to become less and less.

It seemed that what he could see was also becoming less and less.

Then at this point, his eyes had regained their calmness, and with each casual slash, the traces were extremely odd.

It made people not dare to look at it.

It seemed that when one stared at that blade, that blade would abruptly chop at the heart.

“He …… has refined his blade technique again.”

The Infernal Ghost King’s face changed.

And right at this moment, Jiang Ran suddenly put away his sword and sheathed it, using his finger as a knife as the blade lightly chopped.

There was a snorting sound.

The opposite section of the wall was instantly split in two.

At this point, Jiang Ran let out a long breath:

“Let’s go.”

Turning back to the Rotten Gambler:

“You take these six men of yours and stay in the Ghost King Palace for the time being, assisting your unlucky and foolish king in reorganizing the Ghost King Palace.

“When the time is ripe, I will come back for you.”

The rotten gambling ghost froze, “Then …… what about the January bet we previously booked?”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment, “That’s simple, we’ll go and gamble dozens of times here, sort of compressing these dozens of months into one place how?”

“Good!”

Rotten Gambler immediately nodded his head, his face full of excitement, feeling that a capital flip was just around the corner.

Half an hour later, Rotten Gambling Ghost lost his mind and looked at Jiang Ran pitifully:

“Master, bet again, just once!”

“Next time.”

Jiang Ran glanced at the Infernal Ghost King:

“Farewell.”

“……”

The Infernal Ghost King looked at the rotten gambler beside him, as well as the six dice freaks, and sighed, knowing that Jiang Ran should have already found the answer.

Seeing that he turned around and was really going to leave, he couldn’t help but ask:

“What blade technique did you actually comprehend on that wall?”

Jiang Ran was slightly silent, followed by a smile:

“Social matters, little children pry less.”

Infernal Ghost King: “???”
