Yan Shouyi, is he our common enemy?
Shi Jing’s mind went blank for a moment, and then he asked several questions in succession:
“What is your relationship with Yan Shouyi?!”
“Where is Yan Shouyi now!”
“Didn’t he collude with you and those experts from the Xuan Shan Sect to destroy my Shi family?”
Yu Jinhong gave a wry smile. Explaining these questions in a few words would be difficult.
Moreover, if he revealed everything, his act of killing the relatives of five Ghost Kings would also be exposed, and those five Ghost Kings would not let him off… although only two of the five Ghost Kings remained now.
So Yu Jinhong could only sigh and shake his head.
Seeing Yu Jinhong’s expression, Shi Jing guessed most of it.
Yan Shouyi had played them all!
Wait…
There was also a very crucial person.
They were now in Fenglai Tower.
But what about the owner of Fenglai Tower, Tao Hua Ying?
Tao Hua Ying had disappeared before the great battle began!
In such a grand occasion, this woman who loved to join in the fun couldn’t possibly be absent!
What’s more, Tao Hua Ying had killed Shi Jing’s own son.
Shi Jing quickly asked, “Where is Tao Hua Ying?!”
Yu Jinhong was stunned for a moment and looked down to search for a while.
Indeed, Tao Hua Ying was also gone.
At this moment, Yu Jinhong felt deceived once again, and his hands and feet turned cold instantly—even though his body had no temperature to begin with.
He had not only been played by Yan Shouyi, but also by Tao Hua Ying!
Yu Jinhong was not a fool. At this point, he couldn’t help but realize that Tao Hua Ying had deceived him.
Heh, women!
No woman in this world is good!
Yu Jinhong felt indignant and wronged, having finally poured out his sincere feelings only to be toyed with by that woman like this!
It was all Yan Shouyi’s fault!!!
He said with a bitter expression, “Most likely she ran off with Yan Shouyi.”
“Ran? Where could they run to?”
Shi Jing instantly accepted the alliance between Tao Hua Ying and Yan Shouyi, but he couldn’t understand where they could run to, as all the entrances and exits of the Ghost Market were sealed.
But soon, Shi Jing thought of the answer himself.
Yan Shouyi and his group must be trying to leave the Ghost Market, and there was only one way to leave the Ghost Market, which was through his Shi family’s mansion!
“It’s over…”
Shi Jing released Yu Jinhong, his face grim, his eyes dark, and he looked back at his mansion.
Yan Shouyi might just want to leave the Ghost Market, but Tao Hua Ying’s goal was definitely not that simple!
His clansmen had killed Tao Hua Ying’s daughter, and although Tao Hua Ying had not shown it, Shi Jing knew that she must have held a grudge!
Today, the Shi mansion was empty, which was the perfect time for Tao Hua Ying to make her move!
No wonder he had felt that tremor and unease in his heart earlier!
“Stop fighting!”
Shi Jing shouted, “We’ve all been deceived!”
Of the ten Ghost Kings, including Shi Jing himself, only four were present.
Four Ghost Kings had their souls scattered, and two were severely injured and had fled into the Ghost Market below to hide.
The remaining three Ghost Kings stared at Shi Jing and asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
“It’s hard to explain in a short time,” Shi Jing sighed, “Four Ghost Kings are dead, which I think has met your expectations. Anyway, I won’t make a move anymore, do you still want to fight?”
The Ghost Kings exchanged glances, put down their weapons, and decided not to fight to the death anymore.
Chang’an was this big, and the resources here were limited. They had long wanted to conduct a major purge because there were too many Ghost Kings.
Now that four Ghost Kings were dead, it was exactly what they wanted.
However, they still had a lingering doubt: what did “being deceived” mean?
Shi Jing said to the Ghost King he brought with him, “Lord Chen, please accompany me back to the Shi mansion.”
This Ghost King surnamed Chen was invited by Shi Jing, so he would naturally prefer to follow Shi Jing back rather than stay here.
The scene was a mess, but Shi Jing could no longer afford to bother with it. He rushed home with the Ghost King surnamed Chen.
The remaining two Ghost Kings exchanged glances, then approached Yu Jinhong and began to question him with cold faces.
Yu Jinhong was still immersed in the pain of being deceived and having his feelings toyed with, but he dared not slight these two Ghost Kings.
He organized his thoughts, deliberately concealed what he had done in this misunderstanding, and exaggerated everything, shifting all the blame to Yan Shouyi.
As the two Ghost Kings listened, they became extremely enraged.
No one could ever toy with Ghost Kings like this!
They had always been arrogant in Chang’an, and when had they ever been used as pawns like this?
“Where is that Yan Shouyi?” the two Ghost Kings asked with cold faces.
Yu Jinhong sighed, “Lord Shi is probably going to find him.”
Upon hearing this, the two Ghost Kings, without a word, chased in the direction Shi Jing had left.
…
“They seem to be done fighting.”
Wei Changqing turned his head and said to Yan Shouyi, “There’s no more movement.”
“I don’t know who won,” Yan Shouyi muttered to himself.
“Who cares who won, it’s definitely a heavy loss!” Long Feicheng said with a playful grin.
He could already imagine Yu Jinhong’s depressed expression after discovering the truth.
An ordinary person would learn their lesson after being tricked once.
But Yu Jinhong was different. He fell into the trap for the second time, jumped into it with smug satisfaction, only to find an even bigger trap behind it.
At this moment, Tao Hua Ying and the others returned.
Tao Hua Ying pushed open the back door of the Shi mansion and said respectfully, “Miss, Young Master, all the people have been cleared out. Let’s leave the Ghost Market quickly.”
Zhu Shanzao and Yan Gui behind her exchanged glances; they indeed did not reveal what Tao Hua Ying had done.
Yan Shouyi and the others didn’t feel anything unusual. The group swaggered into the Shi mansion.
There were no living people in the Shi mansion to begin with, only some minor ghosts, and ghosts, after dying, would dissipate into spirit essence and leave nothing behind.
Therefore, even though the Shi mansion had just undergone a bloodbath, it was spotless, and there was no sign of what had happened there.
The entire Shi mansion was empty, not a ghost shadow could be seen.
They moved unhindered and soon arrived at the center of the Shi mansion, under the giant banyan tree.
“The method of entering and leaving the Ghost Market is the same,” Tao Hua Ying explained.
“But Ji Zhan and the others don’t have lanterns,” Lin Zitong said.
Before entering the Ghost Market, Master Qin specially instructed that the lanterns must not be lost, otherwise they would not be able to leave the Ghost Market.
Yan Shouyi and the others held them obediently, but Ji Zhan and the others did not.
Tao Hua Ying thought for a moment and said, “There must be lanterns in the Shi mansion. Please wait a moment, I’ll go get them!”
However, as soon as she finished speaking.
Yan Shouyi’s voice suddenly came from the sky!
“Yan Shouyi, Tao Hua Ying, you have great courage!”
“You refuse the path to heaven and insist on entering hell. How dare you cause trouble in my Shi mansion, you court death!”
