Duan Gang took a closer look and saw that a shuanger standing behind him was actually a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. He glanced back at the ghost slave behind him, and then a smile appeared on his face, “It turns out that you are a member of the same sect.”

“I am not a fellow evil cultivator like you,” Cheng Qi heard the cultivator’s words and angry retorted, “I am a ghost master, and you are a ghost refiner.”

“Even so, we are not in conflict with each other,” Duan Gang’s face darkened, and he stared at the shuanger in front of him warily. He thought that no one in the secular world could be his opponent, so how could a high-level cultivator suddenly appear.

Cheng Qi shook his head and reminded, “You injured my ghost slave and used our medicinal pills to pretend to be an alchemist. You have already violated our line.”

Duan Gang’s face changed when he heard about medicinal pills. He couldn’t help but twist for a while and looked at the shuanger up and down, “It’s you, you are the wife of that guy surnamed Li.”

He had already doubted the identity of the shuanger just now, thinking of his cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, he thought it was impossible for anyone to reach it. But if he was a family member of that guy Li from Jincheng, it would be possible. Duan Gang looked at him with eyes filled with jealousy.

.

“You have reached the eighth level of Qi Condensation so quickly. You have indeed obtained a treasure,” Duan Gang said with reluctance.

He had ventured into the Yunpeng Secret Realm several times before but found nothing. But this couple took away the opportunity of the secret realm in one fell swoop and ruined his painstaking plan.

Thinking that he should have a lot of good things on him, Duan Gang raised his lips with a slight smile, took out the Ghost Flag, and shook it a few times in his hand, and suddenly dozens of ghosts rushed towards the person in front of him.

As soon as the ghosts appeared, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of roaring ghosts, which made people’s heads ache. Cheng Qi took out the purple bamboo flute and played it slowly. The quiet sound of the flute covered up the voice of the ghosts. The ferocious ghosts’ face softened a little when they heard the sound of the flute.

Duan Gang naturally knew that his methods could not defeat an eighth-level Qi Condensation, so he took out a teleportation talisman while the ghosts distracted the opponent’s attention and tried to activate it.

When Cheng Qi noticed the talisman in his hand, he secretly thought that it was not good. If he escaped, he would definitely alert the snake demon. Fortunately, a wisp of flame flew over and hit the talisman first, and the teleportation talisman that Duan Gang had not had time to activate was instantly reduced to ashes.

Seeing that the talisman was burned by Li Tianyan, Cheng Qi immediately used the sound of the flute to control the ghosts in the air to fight back. The ghosts who had been persecuted to death by Duan Gang and wanted to take revenge all attached themselves to Duan Gang.

For a time, Duan Gang’s body was stuffed with the souls of dozens of ghosts, and he became crazy. Sometimes he slapped himself wildly, sometimes he broke his bones, and sometimes he strangled his neck. In the end, Duan Gang was controlled by the evil ghosts and killed himself alive. Only when the energy on Duan Gang’s body was cut off did the evil ghosts leave him one after another.

Seeing Duan Gang’s horrific death look, Cheng Qi, who was holding the flute, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He didn’t expect these ghosts to be so ruthless, and they almost tore the cultivator into pieces. Seeing that the matter was over, Li Tianyan released flames to dissolve Duan Gang’s body.

Cheng Qi also reacted at this time, picked up the Ghost Flag on the ground that trapped countless innocent souls, and asked Li Tianyan, “Young master, what should I do with this Ghost Flag?”

“The innocent souls inside should be released first, as for the evil ghosts, leave the ones stained with blood to Tan Eyu, and send the others to salvation when you have the opportunity,” Li Tianyan said, looking at the Ghost Flag in his hand.

“Okay.” After hearing Li Tianyan’s arrangement, Cheng Qi raised the Ghost Flag in his hand and released all the innocent souls that had not yet been refined. A great revenge had been avenged. The resentment of many innocent souls dissipated as they were released, returning straight back to the underworld.

After doing this, Cheng Qi took back the Ghost Flag under Tan Eyu’s blazing gaze. Tan Eyu had already eaten a few ghosts just now, and she was afraid of indigestion if she continued to eat them.

“Young master, let’s go back.”

Li Tianyan nodded, but glanced at the bushes not far away, and then walked back with Cheng Qi.

“Is there something there just now?” Cheng Qi noticed Li Tianyan’s strangeness and looked back curiously.

“It’s nothing, maybe it’s an illusion.” Li Tianyan always felt that someone seemed to be staring at them there just now, but when he looked over, there was nothing.

The two of them walked out all night without disturbing anyone. Zhao Shengyu would never have thought that the Imperial Master, who had always been troublesome for him, had quietly disappeared last night.

.

The next day, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi were both preparing to enter the palace tonight. Li Tianyan had just refined a Dust-Falling Pill that could completely cover up the aura of his body. When he opened his eyes and saw Cheng Qi’s figure, he was stunned.

“What are you…” Li Tianyan asked with some hesitation.

“Young master, you also heard that snake demon arrested so many pregnant women. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for me to pretend to be a pregnant woman?” Cheng Qi asked Li Tianyan with his almost seven-month-old pregnant belly stretched out.

Li Tianyan: “…”

“Young master?” Seeing that Li Tianyan didn’t respond for a long time, Cheng Qi walked up to him and waved.

Li Tianyan stared at Cheng Qi’s belly for a while, always feeling that the scene was very strange. Nothing seemed to have happened between him and Cheng Qi. “The soul in your belly is Tan Eyu?”

“Well, it has to look like there’s some life in it, so I let her get in,” Cheng Qi looked down, then reached into his clothes to take out the prop stuffed in his belly.

It turned out that Cheng Qi stuffed a soul bead into the prop in his pregnant belly, and Tan Eyu was attached to the soul bead to act as fetal energy. As soon as Cheng Qi took out the soul bead, Tan Eyu fell directly to the ground.

“It’s going to kill me.”
