Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Interrogating Ghosts with the Ghost King

Han Jing asked in confusion, ”Why did it go quiet?”

Su Yu...

Han Jing turned her head, planning to ask Lianwu what was going on, and only when she saw Lianwu did she suddenly remember... uh, she’d forgotten something very important—that the biggest ghost in this world was right here. Those little ghosts that weren’t even ghost spirits yet were probably sprawled on the ground shaking like sieves by now.

Lianwu stopped, waved his hand to set up a Barrier, and inside the Barrier the sky suddenly turned a gloomy leaden gray. The surroundings also became bone-chillingly cold, giving people a hair-raising feeling.

”Come out,” Lianwu said calmly.

Han Jing and the others originally couldn’t see these little ghosts, because They were only souls and hadn’t yet formed a Spiritual Body. But Lianwu flicked a few points of light out with his fingers, and those little ghosts naturally revealed their forms.

And then... They really did crawl out.

One by one they prostrated themselves on the ground, literally shaking like sieves, not daring to even lift their heads.

”Enough. As for you lot, this king doesn’t even look twice.” Lianwu’s chilly voice was aloof and disdainful.

In his eyes, these low-level little ghosts that were just souls weren’t even as good as ants on the ground—probably about the same as dust on the floor. He couldn’t even be bothered to give them a glance.

Let alone take them in; to him, they were of absolutely no use.

The growth and advancement of ghost spirits, including their cultivation, mostly relied on devouring other ghost spirits. However, for Lianwu, who had already reached the Ghost King realm, no matter how many ghost spirits he devoured, it no longer had any real effect.

His current advancement in cultivation no longer depended on these ghost spirits that were useless to him, but required more nourishing things—like... the Blood of Xiao Xue, who had inherited perfect Divine Power.

So these little ghosts being afraid that he’d eat them was really completely pointless.

That said, those little ghosts were still trembling all over in terror. They didn’t know what exactly the other party was, but the aura on him made them feel fear and dread from the bottom of their hearts, as if just by looking at him once, they would be reduced to ashes.

Lianwu’s gaze could indeed kill them in a second, but... was he really that bored?

Lianwu couldn’t be bothered to waste words. He glanced at Han Jing and Su Yu. ”If you’ve got something to ask, ask quickly. Don’t waste time.”

Then he took a few steps back while holding Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue asked in puzzlement, ”Brother Lianwu, why are they so scared of you?”

Lianwu replied expressionlessly, ”Because they’re too stupid.”

Everyone... one can only imagine the size of the psychological shadow in those little ghosts’ hearts right now.

Han Jing looked at those little ghosts sprawled on the ground, shaking like sieves and not daring to move an inch, and was speechless. They’d brought a Ghost King to interrogate little ghosts... that lineup did seem a bit over the top.

”What is this place?” Still, the questions that needed asking had to be asked.

At first, no one made a sound. After quite a while, when Han Jing still hadn’t heard an answer, She had to add, ”As long as you confess honestly, I’ll let you go.”

The little ghosts were still scared out of their wits, but finally one bolder one answered in a trembling voice, ”Su... Su Mansion.”

Han Jing was stunned for a moment. ”Su Mansion? What are you doing here? Tell the truth!”

”Spare us, my lord, we, we...” From several rows of about a dozen little ghosts, pleas for mercy rose and fell one after another, making Han Jing’s head spin a little.
