250: Yin Qianqian was promoted to Ghost King!
Wei Yan and the Bride Ghost widened their eyes, wanting to see if an eighth-level Vajra Corpse, a Ghost King in its peak state, could contend with a high-grade spirit tool.
Something like this had never happened before; at least in the minds of the father and daughter, they couldn't find any related memories.
Therefore, they couldn't be sure which side would lose and which side would definitely win.
Seeing Liu Fu charging forward with ghost energy like a tsunami.
Yin Qianqian had no intention of confronting him head-on and tossed the Ghost Devouring Gourd in her hand towards the sky.
The stopper opened, and the gourd's mouth pointed at Liu Fu.
Under the illumination of purple light, the ghost energy around him was all sucked into it.
Liu Fu sensed that something was wrong, immediately stopped, and leaned his body backward.
Wei Yan and the Bride Ghost could see that he was trying very hard to move backward.
However, just as he managed to take a step back, his heel hadn't even touched the ground before the powerful suction force of the Ghost Devouring Gourd forced him to slide forward three or four steps.
His entire body was written with the two words "refusal."
"Damn it! If you have the guts, don't use a spirit tool and fight me fair and square!" Hearing this now, it sounded somewhat like impotent rage.
Regarding Liu Fu's request for a head-on confrontation, Yin Qianqian treated it as nonsense and didn't hear a single word.
"A Ghost King, asking a fierce ghost for a head-on, fair and square fight?" Qin Hongyue couldn't help but retort.
"No!" Liu Fu didn't have time to retort and was forcibly shrunk and sucked into the Ghost Devouring Gourd.
The stopper closed, completely sealing off his path to survival, and began refining.
'This gourd is truly a treasure! Even that old guy couldn't resist.' Wei Yan felt a strong greed for the Ghost Devouring Gourd in his heart, wanting to possess it.
But now was not the time to make a move.
Wei Yan was waiting, waiting for Liu Fu to break free from the restrictions of the Ghost Devouring Gourd and escape.
In his understanding, he still didn't believe that the Ghost Devouring Gourd could contain Liu Fu.
Wanting to refine him into a yin pill? Even more impossible!
If the Ghost Devouring Gourd were compared to an alchemy furnace, the furnace fire within it simply couldn't reach the level required to refine Liu Fu and break through the powerful defense of the Vajra Corpse.
At most, it could trap Liu Fu inside for a while longer; wanting to completely kill him? The possibility was zero.
The next second, just as Wei Yan was thinking this, Yin Qianqian opened the stopper, tilted the gourd, and a pill rolled out from the mouth of the bottle.
This looked much more advanced than the yin pill obtained from refining that fierce ghost earlier; it had more gold patterns, was more dazzling, and had a golden texture.
"That, could that be?!" Wei Yan already had a thought in his mind, but he was hesitant to believe it.
Yin Qianqian had no time to explain to him; she didn't hesitate to put the yin pill into her mouth, swallow it, and was eager to be promoted to a Ghost King.
She knew very well that only by being strong enough would she be qualified to have a place by Chen Ming's side.
Boom!!
After being promoted to a Ghost King, an unstoppable aura spread out from all directions.
It made the Bride Ghost's heart pound with fear.
Wei Yan, on the other hand, stood up from his seat with a swish and said in disbelief, "Ghost King! She, she actually broke through to the Ghost King realm!"
Wei Yan, being a Ghost King, had never thought that becoming a Ghost King would be such an easy matter.
He had a deep obsession with obtaining the Ghost Devouring Gourd, but his courage was constantly fading.
After all, he had seen it clearly the second before: Liu Fu, also a Ghost King, didn't even have a chance to resist before being sucked into the gourd and refined into a high-quality yin pill.
Wei Yan worried that he would eventually end up with a similar fate to Liu Fu.
Without waiting for Chen Ming, Qin Hongyue, and Yin Qianqian to speak, Wei Yan hastily expressed his stance, "I have no intention of being enemies with the three of you. If you want to hold her accountable, please do so; I will not obstruct you."
After saying that, he grabbed the Bride Ghost's wrist and yanked her forward.
"Ah!" The Bride Ghost screamed, and her steps stumbled uncontrollably.
Luckily, she was a ghost; if it were a person, their ankle would probably have been sprained seven or eight times.
"Father, what, what do you mean by this? Do you want to sell your daughter for glory?" The Bride Ghost was filled with despair.
She never expected that one day, she would be betrayed twice in a single day by the people closest to her.
"Who do you think is responsible for the Wei Family suffering this calamity!"
"..." Wei Yan's single sentence left the Bride Ghost speechless.
"But, but no matter what, I am still your daughter. If this gets out, the reputation the entire Wei Family has built up over tens of thousands of years will be ruined!" The Bride Ghost pleaded bitterly, hoping Wei Yan would weigh the pros and cons and not abandon her.
"Daughter? You remind me of that. From now on, you are no longer a member of my Wei Family; you are forever expelled from the Wei Family and are forbidden to enter!" Wei Yan said with a heart of stone.
To preserve the Wei Family, he had to make a sacrifice and draw a clear line between himself and the Bride Ghost.
"Have you guys acted out enough of this tearjerker? If not, should I give you some more time?" Chen Ming interjected.
"Are you insisting on completely annihilating my Wei Family?" Wei Yan understood what Chen Ming was trying to express.
Seeing Chen Ming ignore his question, Wei Yan already had an idea.
Covering his face with his hand, his facial features began to change; two demonic horns grew on his forehead, and his ears elongated, becoming pointed and long.
When he removed his hand again, half of a ghost mask had appeared on his face at some point, covering only the upper half of his face, which had hundreds of faces; his lower face remained as before, and his teeth became sharp.
To be precise, that mask was actually one with Wei Yan; it was a thin layer, and even the expression of a frown could be seen clearly.
His eyes turned blood-red, his pupils golden, and his unbound hair, which originally fell to his waist, now shot high up, swaying like fire.
His ghost energy was completely different from the ghosts he had encountered before; it wasn't black.
It was bright and surging like flames, serving as a backdrop that made the now Ghost King-ified Wei Yan appear even more oppressive.
Accompanied by the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling, flaming skulls rushed out and hovered beside Wei Yan.
Flames drifted out from the eye sockets, gaps between the teeth, and broken necks of the skulls, emitting an imposing ghost energy.
"Leave the Wei Family now, and I can let bygones be bygones for everything that happened before." Wei Yan held a flaming skull in his hand, and his voice became much more muddled.
The skull in his hand was different from the others; it was larger, had two smooth, inwardly curved, pointed horns, and the flames on it were boiling.
Seeing her father reveal his true Ghost King form, the stone hanging in the Bride Ghost's heart finally settled.
She quickly scrambled to the side, lest she be caught between the two forces and become cannon fodder.
Yin Qianqian was about to step forward and use the same method to suck Wei Yan into the Ghost Devouring Gourd and refine him into a yin pill.
However, she saw a pitch-black door open on the ground in front of her.
If Yin Qianqian remembered correctly, 'It seems other servants loyal to the Master will come out from here?'
Then, when she saw the guy walking out from the Gate of Shadows, her beautiful eyes widened, and she was greatly surprised.
'This guy, he's resurrected?'
Yin Qianqian clearly remembered that Liu Fu had already been refined into a yin pill by her and should have been consumed.
Her strength as a Ghost King could prove that everything that happened before was definitely not an illusion.
