Seeing the Taoistâs actions, even Gu Shengyin was left speechless.
Does this Taoist make sense? He sealed Wei Wei without understanding the situation, which really does not count as discerning right from wrong.
But after capturing Wei Wei, he did not use heavy-handed tactics, and because there was no blood aura on her, he did not take any aggressive measures. He even chanted the Heart Clarity Spell to dispel inner demons.
Gu Shengyin was somewhat curious about what kind of Taoist could do such a thing?
The journey of the two ghosts was swift.
Gu Shengyin sensed a straightforward and righteous Taoist aura from a great distance.
The aura was long and steady, clearly indicating that the otherâs cultivation had reached a certain level, no wonder Wei Wei was no match.
Gu Shengyin raised a hand, and a barrier enveloped the entire courtyard: "What Taoist dares to run wild in my Lanling Hell."
The Taoist sitting in the scholarâs back room opened his eyes in surprise.
He hadnât noticed anyone coming, clearly, the visitorâs strength surpassed his.
At the very least, their concealment ability was above his.
Gu Shengyinâs spiritual sense also, in the first instance, fell through the door and windows onto the Taoist,
Unexpectedly young.
This Taoist looked to be no more than twenty years old, wearing a simple and plain green Taoist robe, his hair fastened with a bamboo hairpin, his face gentle and handsome, making one feel close upon looking at him.
The Taoist pushed open the door and saw Gu Shengyin and Ah Jin standing in the courtyard.
He glanced at Gu Shengyin, cupped his hands, and said: "Could this be the Ghost King of Lanling?"
Gu Shengyin chuckled: "Taoist, you know me too?"
The Taoist smiled lightly: "Who doesnât know the great name of the Ghost King of Lanling?"
Gu Shengyin sneered: "Alright, donât flatter me, I just came to see which Taoist dared to touch my people of the Ghost King of Lanling, and just what kind of god they are!"
Hearing Gu Shengyinâs tone, the Taoist realized something was wrong.
He cupped his hands toward Gu Shengyin: "This woman under you, the young lady, has too heavy an aura of hostility, this poor Taoist had no choice."
"Too heavy an aura of hostility?" Gu Shengyin repeated these four words and suddenly extended a hand.
A small gourd from the Taoistâs waist appeared in Gu Shengyinâs hand.
The Taoistâs face changed, this was his magic artifact, and it lay in the Ghost Kingâs hand without any resistance.
This Ghost Kingâs strength is probably even higher than most people think.
Gu Shengyin gently shook both hands, and a wisp of green smoke spread out from the gourd, gradually forming into the shape of a woman, it was Wei Wei.
Wei Weiâs eyes were still a bit wild, seeing her freedom, she wanted to rush out.
"Wei Wei." The cold voice struck like a heavy hammer, resonating in Wei Weiâs ears, bringing clarity to her confused thoughts.
Wei Wei looked at Gu Shengyin beside her, her face turned pale, she walked in front of her and knelt down: "Greetings, my lord."
Gu Shengyin looked down at her without speaking, not telling her to rise, but instead turned her gaze to the Taoist.
"Does this maid of mine have any sins?"
The Taoist lowered his eyes meekly: "None."
"Did this maid of mine harbor any malice towards you?"
The Taoist shook his head: "No."
"Did this maid of mine cause any harm to that scholar?"
The Taoist understood her meaning, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Never."
Before Gu Shengyin asked the fourth question, the Taoist had already bowed to Gu Shengyin: "It was my thoughtlessness, please forgive me, Ghost King of Lanling."
