Wei Ming was about to push open the door when Dou Cong stopped him.
“Sir, someone is coming!”
“I also sense Yin Shi Lang’s presence.”
Wei Ming smiled slightly and hid at the corner of the attic.
At this time, at the end of the street, Su Wu Ming dragged Fei Ji Shi towards Yin Shi Lang’s attic.
“You have to explain everything to me today, or I’ll never let you go.”
Fei Ji Shi screamed and cried, “Help! There’s a ghost trying to kill people! Will someone please save me? My life has been so hard!”
Su Wu Ming looked up and saw the banner erected for Yin Shi Lang, and couldn’t help but laugh. “All-powerful? Simply preposterous.”
Fei Ji Shi countered, “This Yin Shi Lang does have some skills. The Chang’an Red Tea came from his hands, but let me tell you, this person is very wicked. Also, that so-called Chang’an Red Tea, you’d better not drink it. That thing contains…”
Realizing he had spoken too much, Fei Ji Shi quickly covered his mouth and looked away.
Su Wu Ming was surprised and asked with a scrutinizing gaze, “Contains what? What’s in the Chang’an Red Tea?”
Fei Ji Shi reacted and immediately pretended to be clueless. “Tea, of course. What else could it be? You’re really strange. If you don’t let me go, I’ll report you to the authorities!”
Su Wu Ming chuckled. “I am the County Constable of Chang’an. Go ahead and report. I’m listening. Let’s see what you have to say.”
After that, he forcefully dragged Fei Ji Shi into the attic.
Immediately, the voices of Lu Ling Feng and the others could be heard, once again bickering with Su Wu Ming.
Outside the attic.
A freakishly ugly person with green skin, a pale face, a pointed chin, and cracked scars all over his face, descended from the sky.
It could be said that he descended from the sky, but Wei Ming, who had absorbed hundreds of spirits and could see in the dark, saw it clearly.
The freak had a steel cable hanging from his back, stretching down from the cliff above, and he landed lightly at the entrance of the attic.
He pulled out a fire-stick-like object from his chest, lit it, and entered the attic, wearing a tiger skin.
“So-called illusions are just drugs that make people hallucinate. I thought they were more mysterious.”
Wei Ming couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Tang Gui’s illusions fall into two categories: one is magic tricks that deceive the eyes, and the other is drug-induced hallucinations.
If someone were to master hypnosis and brainwashing techniques in addition to these two, they would be a true master of illusion in the world of Tang Gui!
“Dou Cong, go test it out. See if you can kill him!”
Dou Cong followed orders and entered the inner chamber through the wall.
At this time, inside the attic.
Su Wu Ming and Fei Ji Shi were caught in a trap set by Lu Ling Feng for Yin Shi Lang, and were hung up by a web.
Inside the web, Su Wu Ming yelled, “Let me down! Release me quickly! You are so outrageous, daring to treat the Chang’an County Constable this way!”
Guo Zhuang, Lu Ling Feng’s trusted associate in the Jin Wu Wei, mocked him, “County Constable, is that even an official? It’s not even as good as a rat-catching cat. You think you’re a tiger?”
At this moment.
A tiger roar suddenly came from outside the door.
“Roar!!”
Everyone turned their heads in fear, and sure enough, they saw a huge tiger, as big as a hill.
Everyone was stunned.
A tiger… in the Ghost Market?
And such a huge one?
How could ordinary people fight it?
Unlike the tiger in the eyes of Lu Ling Feng and the others, what Dou Cong saw was Yin Shi Lang wearing a sewn-up tiger skin, imitating the roar of a tiger.
The tiger slowly approached the group.
Dou Cong seized the opportunity and pounced on Yin Shi Lang. Yin Shi Lang felt a sudden coldness throughout his body, his head felt dizzy, and his vision went black. However, he quickly recovered.
Yin Shi Lang was surprised. What just happened? Was he sick?
Forget it, forget about all that, just take care of these people first.
Dou Cong returned to Wei Ming with a cold face, filled with guilt and self-blame. “Sorry, Sir, I failed.”
Wei Ming waved his hand. “It’s okay. You’ve only absorbed three spirits, you’re still very weak. After you consume more spirits, you’ll become stronger.”
Song Chai, the two human traffickers were ordinary people, and Dou Cong easily devoured their souls, but Yin Shi Lang was different.
First, Yin Shi Lang grew up in the Ghost Market, and his body had been nourished by Yin Qi for a long time, so his spirit strength was not weak.
Second, Yin Shi Lang himself was very wicked. His cultivation method was very dark, and he had been dealing with dead people for years, so he naturally carried a Yin Qi.
Dou Cong couldn’t help but fail.
But it didn’t matter. Once Dou Cong absorbed more spirits, a mere Yin Shi Lang would be nothing. Even becoming a ghost general or a female Yama King wouldn’t be impossible!
Inside the attic, chaos reigned.
Xiao Wu, a Jin Wu Wei soldier, was about to jump out of the window when Wei Ming suddenly pushed open the door. “Lu Ling Feng, quickly, stop Xiao Wu, don’t let him jump out the window!”
Although Lu Ling Feng didn’t know why Wei Ming did this, he chose to trust him and stopped Xiao Wu, who wanted to jump out the window.
Then, Wei Ming said, “The tiger you see is fake. It’s an illusion created by the demon. Don’t fall for it.”
“There is no tiger this big in the world. If there were, the Ghost Market would have been filled with bones!”
Yin Shi Lang, wearing the tiger skin, turned back and glared fiercely at Wei Ming. He even roared like a tiger.
However, the next second, Yin Shi Lang saw mockery, ridicule, and even amusement on Wei Ming’s face. He even met his gaze!
“You are Yin Shi Lang?”
Damn it, this person really wasn’t affected by his illusion.
Thinking about how he just roared at this person while pretending to be a tiger, he felt both embarrassed and stupid.
Lu Ling Feng had no time to appreciate the illusion and swung his sword down.
Yin Shi Lang quickly dodged and released poison arrows at the group, half of which were aimed at Wei Ming.
Eight Extraordinary Techniques are eight techniques for creating chaos and taking shortcuts, as well as eight ultimate cultivation methods.
Not to mention the others, just the technique of Summoning Spirits and Sending Souls is a top-tier cultivation method, which involves devouring and absorbing the souls of others, fusing and refining them to increase one’s primordial spirit and soul power.
However, his current unlock level was too low, so he couldn’t unlock the secret of cultivation. He only activated several special techniques, such as summoning dead spirits, sending spirits to seal them, and forming ghost servants.
But even so, he could still use some of his soul power, transforming it into innate Qi, as a simple means of attack and defense.
Wei Ming used ten people’s soul power as the cost to control Qi to form a barrier.
An invisible barrier formed in front of him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
The poison arrows flew in and were all blocked by the Qi barrier.
The group dodged a wave of arrows.
Yin Shi Lang had already disappeared.
Lu Ling Feng quickly came over, worried that Wei Ming, a mere scholar, would be killed by the poison arrows, but when he got in front of Wei Ming, he was stunned.
“You’re okay?”
Wei Ming rolled his eyes and said in a speechless tone, “No, Lu brother, you really want me to be okay?”
Lu Ling Feng was speechless for a moment, then asked with confusion, “But I clearly saw half the arrows aimed at you, how did you…”
Wei Ming waved his hand to interrupt him. “Just some life-saving tricks, nothing special. By the way, is everyone okay?”
After changing the subject, although Lu Ling Feng was still puzzled, he couldn’t ask further. Obviously, Wei Ming didn’t want to answer.
Everyone checked themselves and confirmed that no one was injured.
Lu Ling Feng curiously asked, “Brother Wei, how did you know that the demon used illusions? And why didn’t you let Xiao Wu jump out the window?”
Wei Ming smiled faintly. “It’s still the same thing. There are no tigers that big in the world. If there were, would the Ghost Market still exist?”
“As for why you can’t jump out the window, go take a look for yourself. Let me remind you, be careful!”
Lu Ling Feng nodded, went to the window, and as soon as he lifted it, several poison arrows shot out.
After breaking the mechanism, he looked down, and Lu Ling Feng’s heart sank. Besides his heart palpitations and fear, he felt more grateful.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and thanked him. “Wei Yu Shi, your life-saving grace is unmatched. Xiao Wu has nothing to offer. As long as it doesn’t violate the law, Xiao Wu is willing to be at Wei Yu Shi’s command!”
Lu Ling Feng and the other Jin Wu Wei soldiers all thanked him.
Wei Ming helped Xiao Wu up. “Brother Xiao Wu, you’re too kind. Please have a meal with us sometime.”
Xiao Wu readily agreed.
At this moment, a commotion came from the Ghost Market citizens outside.
“The immortal is ascending to heaven!”
Wei Ming and the others walked out of the attic and into the street, where they saw many Ghost Market citizens kowtowing towards the vertical cliff, shouting about the immortal ascending to heaven!
They saw Yin Shi Lang holding a banner, walking upright into the air, flying up the smooth vertical wall towards the top of the cave.
Wei Ming gave Dou Cong a nod, and she understood and flew up with him.
On the cliff platform stood Yin Shi Lang and the immortal.
The immortal said in a deep voice, “Now that you have ascended, you should change this appearance and the name Yin Shi Lang!”
Yin Shi Lang pulled out the hairpin connecting his hair and scalp. His green skin and cold face suddenly changed, revealing his original handsome features.
A glamorous and charming woman, full of charm, bowed gracefully and said softly, “Eleventh Lady, I have met the immortal.”
The immortal nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, “From today onwards, anyone who wants to buy Chang’an Red Tea will have to bow down to Eleventh Lady’s skirt!”
Dou Cong, who had witnessed everything, snorted. “It was actually a woman, and she’s called Eleventh Lady.”
“And this Eleventh Lady is indeed as the Sir said… extremely dangerous!”
“Bah! Shameless!”
