Chapter 597: Chapter 48: Stealing Sutras
Nanny Cui followed Fang Zheng into the house, took the initiative to close the door, and stood in the center with some anxiety.
"I’ll ask you one last time."
Fang Zheng turned around, looking directly at the other party:
"Are you sure about this?"
"..." Nanny Cui bit her silver teeth tightly, her eyes flickering, then nodded heavily:
"As long as Erya can enter the Inner City, I’ll do anything. Master Fang can start any time."
"Good!"
Fang Zheng’s eyes lit up:
"Mother’s love is as high as the sky, Fang admires this."
"It might hurt a bit later, Miss Cui please bear with it. Once it’s done, Fang will surely reward you generously."
"Hmm?"
Nanny Cui was slightly stunned at these words, then saw Fang Zheng step forward, holding her breath and centering her mind to observe the change.
To become a Ghost Servant,
first, you naturally need to be a ghost.
"Phew..."
Fang Zheng reached out his hand, his five fingers fell like a mountain overhead.
"Snap!"
Giant Power erupted, Nanny Cui’s head exploded on the spot, her headless body shook as if still not reacting.
His actions were too fast.
The speed of striking and exerting force was beyond human perception, Nanny Cui hadn’t even felt pain before her consciousness sank into endless darkness.
This...
Is this what death feels like?
An eerie feeling rose in her heart, and just when her consciousness was about to completely dissipate, an invisible Giant Power suddenly emerged.
That power pulled her Primordial Spirit, flying to the depths of darkness, casting into a pitch-black eye.
Outside.
Fang Zheng flicked his finger lightly, and Nanny Cui’s physical body instantly collapsed.
Without the Soul’s guarding, the Vital Essence began to dissipate, but under his spell, the Essence Qi that Cui had cultivated for years suddenly gathered.
The blood and flesh, which was originally splattering everywhere, halted and transformed into pure Primordial Energy, converging toward the center.
"Whoosh!"
The crafted Celestial Snake Dharma Eye was thrown into it.
Nanny Cui’s Soul and Essence, through some peculiar transformation, gradually merged with the Celestial Snake Dharma Eye.
The scene inside the room was extremely eerie.
Blood and flesh wriggled, and at the core, a pitch-black eye flickered with gloomy light, displaying an ominous and bizarre aura.
Time slowly passed.
Inside Nanny Cui’s consciousness, time felt like it had gone by for a very long time, yet also like just a momentary blur.
Once she regained consciousness, she understood that she had transformed into an Underworld Soul retaining her memories from life.
’Gazing’ at Fang Zheng, Nanny Cui’s expression was complex.
Sad, fearful, unwilling, and relieved, finally transformed into a silent long sigh, kneeling in salute.
"Cui Yuanyi, greets the master."
"Your name is Cui Yuanyi?" Fang Zheng was slightly surprised, the name seemed much stronger than Erya.
"Never mind!"
Shaking his head, Fang Zheng had no intention of delving into her background, and spoke:
"Then don’t move around, let me cast a spell!"
With these words.
A profound, mysterious aura emerged from him, more Spiritual Light infused into Nanny Cui’s Ghost Body.
Hmm?
Observing this scene, Nanny Cui’s heart moved.
This aura...
Might even compare to the five Judges of Fengdu City, how is Master Fang so strong?
No way!
He has hidden his true cultivation base!
Thinking of this, Nanny Cui’s heart couldn’t help but panic.
What does he plan to do?
Such means, such cultivation base, the other party is definitely not ordinary, could it be that she’s boarded some pirate ship?
Black Mountain Evil Dao?
Concealing cultivation base secretly infiltrating Fengdu City, with Nanny Cui’s experience, she could only guess it’s Black Mountain Evil Dao.
Oh no!
Alarmed, she realized her Lifebound Primordial Spirit was controlled by Fang Zheng, rendering her unable to resist.
"Go!"
Fang Zheng shouted softly.
Nanny Cui’s consciousness trembled, she involuntarily transformed into a wisp of Underworld Wind, drifting out of the room, heading towards Ma Ning who was resting next door.
A glow flickered.
Ma Ning seemed to sense something, opened his eyes to look around, then shook his head and continued to rest.

A group of more than ten people, led by Ghost Granny, arrived at the entrance of the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
This place is connected to the earth’s veins, heavily guarded and protected by formations, even Ghost Kings find it difficult to secretly infiltrate.
"Wasn’t it said there were only ten people?"
"Why are there sixteen?"
"Fool!"
"The Inner City has extra quotas, you just need recommendations from some people, once qualified, you can go in."
"How can it be like this?"
"Shh..."
"Don’t talk!"
They whispered until they reached a doorway, then stopped speaking altogether, waiting quietly.
"The Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts is the foundation of Fengdu City, hidden within are many secrets, Black Mountain Evil Dao has always coveted it."
Guiding them, Ghost Granny spoke slowly:
"To be safe, anyone going inside must first be purified."
"One by one now."
"Ma Ning!"
"Here."
"You go in first."
"Understood."
Ma Ning obeyed, on Ghost Granny’s cue, pushed the door open, entered a grayish area.
"Whoosh!"
The Underworld Wind blew, causing people to instinctively close their eyes.
One Underworld Soul after another hidden within circled Ma Ning, vast Divine Thought scanned up and down.
"Sizzle..."
Clothing on the shoulder tore open, revealing the scar beneath.
"What’s this?"
A phantom appeared in front of Ma Ning, staring straight at the scar, eyebrows hinting at some confusion.
That scar resembled an eye, making one instinctively avoid direct gaze.
"To the senior."
Ma Ning spoke respectfully:
"This was a scar from when I played with others as a child, left there inadvertently a long time ago."
Saying this, he glanced at his shoulder, his eye also showed some surprise.
The scar...
Seems a bit deformed?
Previously it didn’t resemble an eye this much.
The phantom nodded, Divine Thought lingered on the scar for a moment, then stepped aside and pointed behind:
"Go inside!"
"Yes."
Ma Ning returned to himself, cupped his hands and proceeded inside.
Once everyone passed the purification, a pitch-black hole leading straight underground slowly opened.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh-whoosh!"
The Underworld Wind fiercely swept, carrying the group of over ten people toward the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts below.
