Chapter 328 if line (10)

Qi Anhui opened her eyes and saw the master. She crawled over using her hands and feet, and shouted in horror: “Master! There is a ghost! There is a ghost here!”

The master ignored her and asked, “Who is Gu Qingyin?”

Qi Anhui was stunned for a moment. “She is just a woman of unknown origin. What could she be?”

The master asked, “Nothing else?”

Qi Anhui suddenly had an idea, “She said she is a special-grade celestial master.”

“Super-Grade Heavenly Master?!” The master’s voice rose several degrees, his knees weakened and he almost fell to the ground, “Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing earlier!”

Qi Anhui was also a little panicked when she saw this, “What’s wrong? Is a special-grade heavenly master so powerful? Then she must be lying! How can she be so powerful at such a young age!”

“You know shit!” The master’s chest rose and fell. The most important thing for a Heavenly Master is talent. The younger the Heavenly Master, the more terrifying it is. Those older and more powerful Heavenly Masters must have dominated from a young age to an old age.

“Gu Qingyin…” The master pondered. It would be impossible to fight head-on. He had to find a chance to escape. Whether he could escape depended on his fate.

“They are coming up!” the ghost messenger guarding the stairs announced loudly.

The master panicked immediately, he hadn’t figured out a plan yet! He looked around, gritted his teeth, and released all the ghosts with a wave of his hand.

The next second, the entire fifth floor was filled with densely packed ghosts, each of which twisted its body with fangs and claws, searching for prey. The scene was like hell.

Qi Anhui couldn’t see this scene, but she could clearly feel that the temperature around her dropped a lot in an instant, as if she had suddenly stepped into a cold storage. She shrank into the corner trembling, holding her head and not daring to open her eyes.

The master also swallowed nervously. Although they were all his ghost servants, it was the first time he released them all, and it was also the first time he saw such a grand occasion. He walked carefully to the left, and the ghost servants obediently separated to the sides to make way for him.

The master breathed a sigh of relief and strode to the back door, ready to escape at any time.

At this time, clear footsteps were heard from the opposite staircase, and the master heard it very clearly.

“Wow! This scene is really rare.” Gu Qingyin laughed, raised her hand and slapped the wall to create a ban.

The pale golden light quickly spread out, covering the entire fifth floor in the blink of an eye, and quickly closed behind the master.

The master was stunned for a moment, and hurried to pull the door, but the door was obviously not locked, and he could not open it no matter how hard he tried, as if the whole door was stuck to the wall with glue.

“It’s over!”

The master slid down the wall to the ground, his whole body numb. All his escape plans were useless. Now he could only hope that these ghost servants could stop him.

The fifth floor was different from the other floors, it was a large open space. Even though there were many ghosts, affecting the sight, one could still vaguely see the situation on the other side, not to mention the continuous shrill screams.

The ghosts that the master had placed his hopes on were like paper, breaking at the slightest touch, without any resistance. Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing opened up a passage through the ghosts with overwhelming force and walked straight to the master.

Gu Qingyin looked him up and down. He was a thin middle-aged man. He didn’t look very tall, had an ordinary appearance and a mustache. He looked a bit like a traitor in a TV drama.

“Master?” Gu Qingyin smiled. “May I ask who your master is from?”

The master laughed dryly, “It’s a small sect with no reputation.” He looked at the ghost messengers who were still alive but didn’t dare to come forward, and glanced at the sword in Huo Yunjing’s hand. He smiled flatteringly and knew the situation very well, “Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding. I just do the job for money. If I had known it was you, I would definitely not accept this order!”

Gu Qingyin smiled, “If it’s someone else, then we have to admit that we’re unlucky?” The master said awkwardly, not daring to look at Gu Qingyin, and whispered in defense, “That’s not what I meant… We have to make a living, you don’t understand, the life of us low-level Heavenly Masters is really not easy.”

“As far as I know, the association has enough subsidies for low-level Heavenly Masters, and will also provide corresponding job opportunities. If you work hard, it won’t be a problem to earn hundreds of thousands a year. Why is it so hard?” Gu Qingyin looked down at him, “This income is much higher than most ordinary people.”

“They are ordinary people! How can they compare with me? I am a Heavenly Master!” The master sneered at ordinary people and was dissatisfied with his own fate. “I am much more noble than those ordinary people! Why should they have everything they want, but I have to live the life of an inferior? This is not fair!”

Gu Qingyin frowned. This man was obviously getting stuck in a dead end and it was impossible to reason with him, but she still spent a few more words to talk to him.

“With great power comes great responsibility. The ability of a Heavenly Master does not make you superior, nor does it give you the capital to look down on ordinary people. The duty of a Heavenly Master is to maintain the world of ordinary people and protect them from the harm of ghosts and monsters.”

Her brows were serious, and she said in a deep voice: “You’ve gone astray.”

The master really didn’t listen, and sneered, “You have everything, of course you can stand without any pain and say some nice words.”

Gu Qingyin ignored him, raised her hand and made a gesture, lightning flashed, and turned into lightning spears, shooting at the ghost messengers around.

After one wave, more than half of the ghost messengers were gone.

Gu Qingyin sighed, “You have committed too many sins. You should spend the rest of your life atonement in Xuanxie.”

Huo Yunjing raised his sword and walked towards the ghost messenger next to him. The ghost messenger was very fast, but he could not withstand Huo Yunjing’s swordsmanship which was so tricky. It seemed as if they were trying to crash into the edge of the sword.

As the ghost messengers were gradually eliminated, the master’s spirit became increasingly weak.

Ghost messengers have their own consciousness, and after being refined, they do not need too much nourishment from their masters, and when they dissipate, they do not have much impact on their masters. But that is when the number is small, and when the number is large, like the master, it will still cause fatigue to the soul.

Gu Qingyin gathered spiritual power with his fingers in mid-air, drew a god-locking talisman, and tied up the master.

The master was disheartened and had no strength to struggle, so he simply stopped moving, completely giving in.

Gu Qingyin walked to Qi Anhui and asked, “Are you still awake?”

Qi Anhui shuddered and said nothing.

“Get up and go home when you are awake.” Gu Qingyin said, “I don’t have time to deal with you now. We will settle your affairs later.”

Qi Anhui raised her head tremblingly, looked around with rapid breathing, and asked in a low voice: “Have all the ghosts left?”

Gu Qingyin hummed indifferently, “Let’s go.”

Qi Anhui immediately rolled and crawled towards the stairs.

Gu Qingyin ignored her and looked at Huo Yunjing who was staring at the sword in a trance. She walked over slowly and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Huo Yunjing came back to his senses, looked at her blankly, and shook his head: “It feels very familiar, but it shouldn’t be…” He had never come into contact with cold weapons, but he used the sword very smoothly and methodically, as if he had learned it for a long time.

Gu Qingyin smiled and said, “If you like it, I’ll give you this sword.”

Huo Yunjing glanced at her and instinctively felt that she should know something, but he hesitated for two seconds and still did not ask. He just put away the sword, curled his lips and smiled, “Thank you, ma’am.”
