Chapter 1840: Escape



Chapter 1840: Escape

“The Ghost King? Um…” Zu An began to mutter. He didn’t know how to explain it.

“Could it be that the Ghost King is still down there and is about to come out?” Xie Daoyun asked, startled. She quickly looked at the coffin, fearing that dark and creepy thing would rush out from within.

I already have a bit of trauma from that scary Ghost King…

“No, you don’t have to be scared. She won’t be coming out from there,” Zu An said in consolation.[1]

“Did he already die down there?” Qiu Honglei asked in confusion.

“Not exactly…” Zu An began.

While Zu An was trying to figure out how to word things, Yun Jianyue got impatient. She asked impatiently, “Just what happened exactly? He’s not alive, but he’s not dead… You’re not going to tell me that you slept with him now, right?”

Zu An’s eyes widened and he exclaimed, “How did you know?!”

The women were dumbstruck.

Yun Jianyue was stunned. She had only been saying that randomly because there should have been no way it could have happened. And yet, this guy really ‘did’ something so inhuman?

You even went after something like the Ghost King? Humans shouldn’t be able to…

The women silently moved some distance away from him. They all looked at him with weird expressions.

“No, that’s not it! You’re misunderstanding!” Zu An exclaimed when he saw their reactions. He quickly explained, “She’s currently inside Jing Teng’s body.”

“He possessed Jing Teng?” Yan Xuehen asked, her thoughts running wild. That Ghost King seemed to have a skill that could suck out souls. If he had invaded Jing Teng’s body, then Zu An must have thought that he was Jing Teng, and then things happened after… If all of that happened because he didn’t know, it was still understandable.

When he saw that their misunderstanding was only getting worse, Zu An quickly began to explain the truth. “The Ghost King’s previous form was merely a reflection of the Lord of Black Mist. She’s actually Jing Teng’s little sister.”

At first, he had felt that it was too embarrassing to tell them that he had ended up getting together with Dark Jing Teng so quickly too, but he hadn’t expected their exaggerations to get that ridiculous. In that case, he figured he could just tell them the truth.

When they heard his explanation, the women's eyes were wide and they had their mouths open, and yet they didn’t know what to say.

In the end, Chu Chuyan muttered, “You really are something.”

Looks like I have to stay with him more in the future. Otherwise, at this rate, he’s going to get a whole army of women.

You have successfully trolled Chu Chuyan for +111 +111 +111…

Yan Xuehen’s expression was cold. They had all been so scared and on edge for this guy, and yet he had actually been enjoying both sisters below and having a blast.

You have successfully trolled Yan Xuehen for +111 +111 +111…

Yun Jianyue patted his shoulder with a smile, remarking, “Kid, you really know how to have fun, don’t you?” Even though she was smiling, the Rage points that continued to appear in the backend gave away her real thoughts.

You have successfully trolled Yun Jianyue for +111 +111 +111…

The other women also had strange expressions. They also continued to add more and more Rage points.

Zu An also felt rather wronged. He said, “I had no choice, you know?”

He had actually already started to watch himself and definitely wouldn’t randomly tease others. However, he couldn't do anything if that was the path of his fate!

Pei Mianman said while smiling sweetly, “We know you had no choice, so that’s why we aren’t blaming you.”

Zu An gave her beautifully smiling eyes a look and thought, If I hadn’t seen all those Rage points, I might have just believed you.

Qiu Honglei said considerately, “Indeed, this can’t be blamed on Ah Zu. Jing Teng and the Ghost King were trying to save the world. If I were Ah Zu, I would also choose to save them.” Inwardly, she thought, Hmph, all of you are blaming him, but I’ll do the exact opposite. He’ll know who’s the best to him!

Sure enough, Zu An was incredibly moved, thinking, It’s still Qiu Honglei who is the most considerate.

Yan Xuehen and the other women gave her a sidelong glance.

Look at this green tea b*tch. Just who was it that taught you to become like this?

Yun Jianyue raised a brow and shot a provocative look right back.

What, you guys have complaints? My good disciple, this is more like how a witch should act!

While the women were fighting and scheming against each other, a terrifying rumble filled the great tomb. Rocks fell everywhere.

The women’s expressions changed. They asked, “Could it be that something is wrong with the great tomb again?”

Zu An was a bit confused. He said, “This great tomb’s seal should be incredibly sturdy. There shouldn’t be any problems with it.”

He suddenly realized something after sensing Jing Teng’s divine will telling him a certain thing, and he quickly said, “We need to hurry and leave. This great tomb is about to close.”

The great tomb had always been sealed for thousands upon thousands of years. It had only opened up for a short time because of special circumstances. Now that the Heavenly Demon-Suppressing Great Formation had been repaired and was in full operation again, there was naturally no need for it to be opened again.

When they heard what he said, the others didn’t dare to show any carelessness. They all ran toward the exit. According to what the people of this world had said, this great tomb would take a hundred years before it would open up again at the earliest, or even a thousand years on the longer side. They definitely didn’t want to be locked up inside for all that time.

The group quickly left. Whenever they encountered other people, Zu An immediately warned them to leave as quickly as possible. There were some who did realize that something was wrong and also ran out. However, others thought that he was lying to them and trying to get them to leave so there were fewer competitors for the treasure. They only cursed him endlessly. They felt that the rumbling of the great tomb signified the appearance of a great treasure, so they rushed in with even greater excitement.

As the saying went, If you don’t want good advice, you deserve the consequences. Zu An’s group naturally wouldn’t try to save them like saints. They continued to flee the tomb.

Zu An hurried toward the direction they had entered from because he wanted to bring away the unconscious Wei Suo. He had asked Dark Jing Teng about him before, and she had told him that back then, she hadn’t taken Wei Suo’s life. It wasn’t because she had deliberately spared him, but rather that she had felt that leaving him alive could be of some other use.

However, who would have thought that he had actually disappeared? Zu An didn’t know if he had woken up and left himself, or if he had been taken away by this great tomb’s monsters. After searching for a while, he didn’t find anything.

More and more areas around them were caving in. He could see that the light coming from the tomb entrance in the distance was getting smaller and smaller. It turned out that the door was already closing! Zu An didn’t dare to waste any time. He could only silently pray for Wei Suo. He took the women with him and rushed toward the entrance like a streak of lightning.

The people nearby finally began to react to what was happening. They also ran while screaming for their lives.

However, that door was closing faster and faster, and they couldn't catch up in time. As such, they began to attack the people around them. If they couldn't escape, none of these others could think of getting out either!

Zu An’s group encountered quite a few attacks along the way as well. Helpless to do anything else, they could only retaliate. They didn’t hold back while doing so. Still, even though their cultivation was enough to crush these people, their speed was still more or less affected a bit. Coupled with the fact that there were too many people who were trying to leave at once, crowding the path, they discovered that they couldn't keep up with the rate at which the door was closing either.

Zu An’s expression changed and he set aside his reservations. He spread out his arms, took all of the women into his arms, and shouted, “Make sure to grab onto each other!”

Then, he continued to use Grandgale again and again, using its instant movement repeatedly. After using it seven or eight times, they finally rushed out a second before the gate closed.

When they turned around again, their expressions changed. Once the gate closed, the entire great tomb began to sink, forming a terrifying whirlpool. The surrounding trees and animals were all sucked in.

Zu An didn’t dare to linger. He continued to run. Suddenly, he sensed that his body was lighter, and his spiritual energy was recovering quickly too. Wave after wave of natural ki continued to enter his body. He knew that the others were using their own methods to help him.

Just like that, they continued to flee for dozens of kilometers before that terrifying energy started to disappear. They all sat down weakly on the ground. Even though Zu An was already much stronger than he had been in the past, carrying so many people and continuously using an instant movement skill still left him extremely drained.

Chu Chuyan took out a handkerchief and wiped at his sweat. At the same time, she took out a bottle of spiritual water and brought it up to his lips, saying, “Ah Zu, this is the White Jade Sect’s Rose Cleardew. It’s really helpful for recovering spiritual energy.”

“Thank you,” Zu An said. As he drank from the bottle, he felt a sweet and refreshing feeling enter his mouth. His spiritual energy immediately improved.

Chu Chuyan then asked quietly, “Can you let go of my master now?”

Zu An was surprised. He quickly looked toward either side and saw that he had Yun Jianyue in his left arm and Yan Xuehen in his right. They were tightly holding onto the others. After all, no matter how long Zu An’s arms were, there was no way he could hold six women on his own. They looked at him with strange expressions.

Yun Jianyue asked with an ambiguous smile, “How does it feel to hold Sect Master Yan? Who knows how many men there are in this world who have dreamt of this experience but won’t ever be able to enjoy it, and yet you’ve already hugged her for so long. If those people knew, they could very well just kill you out of jealousy.”

Chu Chuyan gave her master a confused look. Her master had never let another man touch her body! Why was she not getting upset even after such a long time?

A trace of redness flashed across Yan Xuehen’s face. She stood up and said, “There are plenty of people who want to hug Sect Master Yun. Likewise, not a single one has succeeded.”

Yun Jianyue cried out pitifully, “Even so, who was it that made those stinky men favor your immortal fairy act? In contrast, this humble one is constantly being cursed at.”

When he sensed that the two were about to argue, Zu An quickly explained, “Earlier, that was only because the situation was urgent. I just grabbed the ones who were closest and didn’t expect to have offended the two seniors. I hope you can forgive me.”

“Seniors?” Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen’s eyes both narrowed. They had exchanged sweet words in private, and yet in public, he was calling them seniors?

However, they knew that with their status in the world, as well as their status as Honglei and Chuyan’s masters, he had to call them senior. They felt even more depressed when they realized that.

Zu An was getting a headache too. He could sense a strange atmosphere in the air. He definitely couldn't bring all these women with him when he went out in the future.

With three monks, there’s no water left to drink…

Qiu Honglei moved closer to Zu An, as if she weren’t scared of the entire world falling into chaos. She asked quietly, “So? Between my master and Sect Master Yan, which one felt better to hug?”

Even though she kept her voice soft, Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue’s cultivations were incredibly powerful. They both perked up their ears and waited for his answer.

Zu An felt all of his fine hairs stand on end. While he was at a loss for what to say, however, a terrifying energy spread over from the distance. Then, someone fell rapidly in their direction.

“Libationer?” When they saw that person’s appearance, the whole group’s expressions changed slightly.
