Chapter 851: Chapter 415: Beaten to Tears_2

"What did you say?"

Jiang Yi suddenly turned around, her eyes like cold arrows, staring straight at Jiang Shouzhong.

Jiang Shouzhong replied irritably, "If it weren’t for the sake of Qiu Ye and Xia He, I would’ve stopped dealing with you long ago.

I used to seem weak in front of you because my cultivation wasn’t enough. But now it’s different; I’m truly a master. You better not make me angry, or I really won’t hold back hitting women."

Jiang Yi didn’t expect that Jiang Shouzhong, who used to more or less yield before her, would dare to speak to her so assertively now. She was instantly enraged, her chest heaving violently.

Jiang Yi’s beautiful eyebrows shot up: "I, Jiang Yi, want to see where you get the guts to hit me."

Before she finished speaking, she lunged at the man, opening her mouth and fiercely biting his shoulder.

Again?

Jiang Shouzhong’s expression changed, and he hurriedly moved Jiang Erliang, who was beside him, slightly to the side, trying to make space to restrain this mad woman, Jiang Yi.

But he hadn’t expected her to rush in so quickly, leaving him no time to react further before feeling a sharp pain in his shoulder.

The woman had already bitten down hard on his shoulder.

The pain hit, causing Jiang Shouzhong’s features to scrunch up, and he gasped through gritted teeth.

This time, fury surged within the man.

Slap!

With a crisp sound, without holding back even a bit, Jiang Shouzhong’s arm swung high and then came down harshly! A firm slap landed solidly on her rounded rear below the waist.

The crisp sound instantly echoed through the silent, eerie chaotic tomb mound.

Jiang Yi was stunned.

At first, the slapped area felt numb, but soon, a searing pain began to spread like a tide.

Jiang Yi couldn’t help but sharply inhale, looking at Jiang Shouzhong with eyes full of intense killing intent, squeezing out a few words through clenched teeth: "Jiang—Mo—"

Her appearance was as if she wanted to swallow Jiang Shouzhong whole.

"Slap!"

Jiang Shouzhong, his anger not yet dissipated, delivered another slap.

"Jiang Mo, I will kill—"

"Slap!"

As Jiang Yi was about to unleash her harsh words, another slap cut her off before she could finish.

"Are you looking for death!"

Jiang Yi’s eyes widened, full of anger and unwillingness, yet the response was another crisp slap sound.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

...

Just like that, consecutive slaps rained down like raindrops, until the woman finally went silent.

The woman buried her head in Jiang Shouzhong’s shoulder, her soft breaths fell with heat on his shoulder, yet for some reason, Jiang Shouzhong felt a trace of cold seeping into his skin.

Looking at Jiang Yi again, her body trembled, as if suppressing something.

Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback.

Did I just make her cry?

Now calm, Jiang Shouzhong felt a bit apologetic and softened his voice, saying, "How about you bite me a few more times?"

Jiang Yi turned her back to him silently, but her shoulders were still trembling slightly.

Jiang Shouzhong was about to properly apologize and comfort her. At this moment, Jiang Erliang, as if noticing something strange, said in surprise:

"Master, it seems like it’s raining. There seems to be water in this coffin."

Raining?

Jiang Shouzhong looked up at the sky.

No, it’s not raining.

But upon a closer look, the sky had unknowingly darkened significantly.

The previously clear sky was now shrouded by dark clouds, heavy and black, like a massive black curtain pressing down, exuding an indescribable oppression and eeriness.

Before he could think it through, suddenly, a sound of a gong rang out abruptly with no warning from outside.

The gong sound echoed through the chaotic tomb mound, sounding exceptionally piercing.

Immediately, a sinister yet sharp voice rose, drawn out into a long note, shouting: "The weather is dry, be careful of fire..."

With the end of the voice, the sky seemed to be pulled over by an invisible giant hand, instantly covered with a thick black curtain, making it even darker and more somber.

The sinister wind howled past, sweeping over this desolate grave, as if countless wronged souls were whispering their complaints.

Jiang Shouzhong’s heart trembled, he thought to himself: "Could it be that the Ghost City has opened."

He cautiously and slowly arose from the coffin, peering outside.

To his surprise, he saw numerous red lanterns leisurely drifting in the air outside the desolate graves, like mysterious eyes watching.

A faint mist drifted all around, weaving and intertwining, resembling the Netherworld.

"Master..."

Jiang Erliang clung to Jiang Shouzhong’s arm in fright, his face pale, "Where is this place?"

Jiang Shouzhong was a bit helpless.

Originally, all these actions were led by Jiang Wan, but now that she was gone, he didn’t know what to do next.

Forget it, it’s better to first figure out how to find that Taoyuan Immortal mentioned by Jiang Wan.

Jiang Shouzhong turned his head to look at Jiang Yi, who was still upset, and asked with a relatively calm tone, "Do you plan to stay here or go with me?"

"What do you think?"

Jiang Yi’s beautiful phoenix eyes showed a bit of playful anger.

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t say anything more, he silently found a brand new garment from his Acupoint Space, raised his arm, and tossed it to Jiang Yi, "Put this on for now."

He instinctively reached out, wanting to retrieve the garment Jiang Wan used to cushion the coffin earlier.

But as soon as his hand reached out, before he could even touch the garment, Jiang Yi quickly stretched out her delicate white foot and stepped on the garment, "I’ll wear this one."

"Don’t you mind it being dirty?" Jiang Shouzhong frowned slightly.

"I don’t mind."

At this moment, Jiang Yi’s face was as red as the sunset.

Fortunately, the sky had already become quite dim, making it hard for others to see clearly.

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t argue any further and put on the new clothes himself.

Jiang Yi picked up the garment from the coffin, her fingers gently rubbing the damp spots, cursing quietly in her mind, then draped it over herself and stepped out of the coffin.

"Which direction should we go?"

Jiang Shouzhong gazed at the mist-covered forest outside the desolate graves, feeling somewhat lost.

The mist was like a light veil, yet it seemed like an invisible wall, completely obscuring the path ahead, making it impossible to discern direction.

Just then, the eerie sound of a gong being struck resonated again.

"The weather is dry~~ watch out for fire~~"

Jiang Shouzhong looked towards the sound and saw a hunched night watchman carrying a gong, walking slowly and heavily.

With each step he took, ghostly Qi wreathed around him like threads.

Watching the night watchman walk into the distance, Jiang Shouzhong thought quickly and decided not to dwell on it, quietly following him, along with Jiang Yi and Jiang Erliang.

Soon, they arrived at a city gate.

Gazing at the familiar yet ghostly city gate, Jiang Shouzhong was somewhat astonished, thinking to himself: "So the so-called Ghost City is actually Huye City."

However, compared to the bustling city during the day, Huye City was now cold and deathly still, with only the sound of the night watchman’s gong echoing in the empty streets.

Clearly, there was a powerful illusion Formation present here.

Only those contaminated with Death Qi could enter the hidden city.

Following the night watchman all the way to the City Lord Mansion, the watchman suddenly collapsed without warning.

When Jiang Shouzhong went over to look, he discovered that the watchman was actually a corpse that had been decaying for days.

The corpse was crawling with maggots, wriggling about, making for a truly ghastly scene.

"It seems that Immortal is inside."

Jiang Shouzhong thought to himself, looking at the City Lord Mansion where he had been during the day.

He turned to look at Jiang Erliang, who stood timidly by the side, frowning slightly, weighing in his mind: "Should I wait here for Jiang Wan, or should I go in and investigate first?"

"Wait for Jiang Wan!"

Jiang Yi, reading his thoughts like a worm in a man’s belly, coldly said:

"You’re going up against an Immortal; only my sister knows how to deal with him. If you rush in recklessly, not only will you alert the enemy, you’ll also be in mortal danger."

Jiang Shouzhong frowned and said, "But what if your sister doesn’t show up?"

A cold light flashed in Jiang Yi’s eyes as she stared intensely at Jiang Erliang, "I don’t believe she can keep hiding forever, she’ll show up eventually, we’ll just wait."
