Free Web NovelChapter 1329: Chapter 1323
"You all, explain clearly what’s the situation with the female ghost?"
Mu Chen’s face looked unpleasant as he glared at the mercenaries in front of him.
He had been away from home for some time, and the previous letters he received from the family did not mention anything about a female ghost.
It seemed the female ghost’s actions were a recent occurrence.
So close, yet he hadn’t even discovered the real culprit, watching the descendants of Fengdong being killed, Mu Chen’s mood was obvious.
Murong Ziyue’s expression was much calmer, although she was a descendant of Fengdong, she didn’t have much affection for Fengdong.
What interested Xin Lin, however, was the lingering ghost energy nearby.
Although it was ghost energy, she could be sure that this ghost energy did not belong to Pride Corpse nor was it Gui Hu’s doing.
If it were Gui Hu’s doing, it would be much more clean and neat, definitely leaving no blood and traces.
"Are you from Fengdong?"
The mercenaries were also surprised, looking at the dandy in front of them.
"Friends, do not panic, this is Fengdong’s Third Young Master. Regarding the female ghost, please tell us how much you know."
Nolan Zhuyun explained.
She feared that Mu Chen, in his anger, might cause a scene.
The mercenaries heard, and their expressions changed upon realizing the infamous Mu San was in front of them.
"Mu San, we apologize for any offense, please forgive us, we are mercenaries from the Fuzhou Fuzhong area, passing through here for a mission."
The mercenaries dared not hide anything, and told Mu Chen what they had heard.
It turns out, about three days ago, a road-blocking female ghost suddenly appeared in this area.
She often appeared on the road around midnight.
Passersby, whether staying outside or passing through, would be intercepted by her.
Whenever she stopped someone, she would ask.
"What is your last name and first name?"
Once the person answered, she would swallow them whole, creating the scene before them.
"What if they don’t answer?"
Xin Lin asked curiously on the side.
"Some don’t answer, or ask her why she asks that, and the female ghost would say ’Go ask the Corpse King’, and still swallow them whole."
The mercenaries finished speaking, looking at the blood on the ground, feeling their scalp prickling.
"Corpse King?"
Mu Chen’s eyes deepened as he glanced at Xin Lin.
Xin Lin was internally surprised, but her expression remained calm.
She pretended to be calm and said.
"Unexpectedly, the Corpse King has actually arrived in Fengdong."
"Nonsense, this isn’t the Corpse King’s style."
Mu Chen snorted coldly.
"How do you know?"
Xin Lin retorted.
"Who is the Corpse King? I’ve confronted him in the dark many times. When he kills, there’s no blood to be seen. Besides, the Corpse King wouldn’t care about such ordinary passersby."
Although Mu Chen was annoyed with the Corpse King, back in the day, the Corpse King was a shocking figure; how could he do such a trivial thing as blocking roads to eat people."
"Maybe it was the Corpse King’s subordinates who did it."
Murong Ziyue pondered.
She didn’t know much about the Corpse King, only that Fengdong had been trying to find him.
It seemed the Corpse King had something important on him, and Fengdong was desperate to get it.
"If it’s not the Corpse King, it’s easier to resolve. I’ll wait here tonight for that female ghost."
Mu Chen didn’t say much more, directly sitting on the ground, waiting for the female ghost to come.
"No need to wait, the female ghost is long gone."
Xin Lin pouted.
"How do you know?"
Mu Chen asked suspiciously, looking at Xin Lin.
"Believe it or not, I can see ghosts, it’s a skill I’ve had since I was a child. Otherwise, why do you think I’m confident in saying I can find the Corpse King."
Xin Lin blinked her eyes.
