"Minister, the bridal escort is here.”
A young servant walked over and reported.
Minister Li's expression changed, and he still felt a little reluctant.
However, the sound of a suona was already coming from outside. It was getting closer and closer. There was also the festive sound of a drum. It was coming in their direction.
He thought that he could wait until night and spend more time with his daughter Xiao Die, but now there was no chance.
"Let's go out and take a look!"
Minister Li took the lead and strode out of the door. From afar, he saw a large red sedan chair.
The surrounding figures floated. A group of people dressed in red held suona, bells, drums, and so on in their hands. They kept beating and blowing.
Behind them was a large sedan chair, painted red like blood, with colorful flowers hanging on it. It was carried by eight people.
At first glance, it looked like an eight-man palanquin welcoming a bride.
However, if one looked closely, they would see that these sedan bearers were not even touching the ground. They were not humans at all, but a group of ghosts.
Their faces were as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. The smiles on their faces were also very strange and stiff, and they did not look alive at all.
There was also a man at the front. He was also a ghost. His face was green and his blood qi soared.
He was still gnawing on some bright red objects in his mouth, and his mouth was covered in blood.
His entire body was emitting a foul stench.
"Minister…those are…human legs!”
One of the sharp-eyed servants saw clearly what the ghost was gnawing on. He was so scared that his voice trembled and his legs went weak.
He almost knelt down on the spot.
This was too terrifying. Eating his own kind in front of him made him feel that he would end up like this in the next second.
Minister Li's gaze was also solemn.
It was hard for him to imagine that his daughter was going to marry the Ghost King, who killed without batting an eye.
Thinking of this, he felt a wave of unwillingness in his heart.
This was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
However, he still had to put on a smile on his face and personally welcome these teams.
Walking up to them, he realized that these ghosts had brought some betrothal gifts.
The betrothal gifts were not gold, silver, or treasures, but some boys and girls. Their blood and Qi were pure, but their eyes were dull. They were still bewitched by demons and ghosts.
"Minister Li, are you satisfied with the betrothal gifts prepared by my Lord Ghost King?”
The sedan chair bearer in front of him said as he ate. The stench in his mouth made Minister Li feel like vomiting.
However, he had no choice but to smile apologetically and say,"I like it, I like it!"
Hearing this, the leading sedan chair bearer nodded in satisfaction.
"Where is the bride? Quickly invite the bride to the sedan chair. Don't delay the Ghost King's good thing, or you won't be able to bear the responsibility!”
His tone was arrogant and domineering, and his eyes were green, making people feel a little afraid.
Two servants were so scared that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
"Alright, I'll bring the bride out now!”
Minister Li turned around. He gritted his teeth in hatred. He wanted to slap these ghosts to death, but he had no choice.
However, just as he walked into Xiao Die's room, a scream suddenly came from outside the door.
Minister Li's heart skipped a beat. He knew that something had happened and rushed out to take a look.
They found that the two servants had been killed. Their eyes were wide open before they died, as if they had been strangled to death.
"This bastard!"
Minister Li clenched his fists tightly, afraid that he could not control his emotions and rushed up to fight these ghosts.
Unexpectedly, the leading sedan chair bearer frowned when he saw Minister Li appear without bringing the bride.
"Are you going to reject my Ghost King's good intentions?”
"If you don't hurry up and bring it out, the Ghost King will allow me to slaughter your entire family.”
He wasn't joking, he was telling the truth.
It even revealed a row of sharp teeth that were densely packed like sawteeth.
Minister Li's heart trembled. Even though he was angry, he did not dare to say anything else.
He turned around and left, quickly bringing Xiao Die over. However, he took a look on the way.
Seeing his two servants being eaten by these ghosts, it was very bloody.
At this moment, Minister Li made up his mind.
These ghosts were so crazy that his daughter, Xiao Die, would not have a good ending if she fell into the hands of the Ghost King and said that she was going to get married.
In the end, he would end up with no bones left. He was unwilling.
When he arrived at Xiao Die's room, Minister Li closed the door, his eyes bloodshot.
"Father, what's wrong?"
A pleasant voice came over. His daughter realized that something was wrong.
Minister Li held Xiao Die's hand, his voice trembling.""Go, go as far as you can. Don't come back.”
Xiao Die was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why her father was so emotional.
"What happened?"
"Xiao Die, A Wen, and A Da were eaten by those ghosts. They were swallowed alive. I saw them disintegrate with my own eyes!”
Minister Li covered his face with his hands, feeling extremely pained.
Xiao Die was silent for a long time when she heard these words.
In fact, she was also very afraid of the Ghost King. Now that she heard such words, she did not want to marry him.
But if she left, what would happen to the others?
"Xiao Die, promise father to go as far away as possible. Don't care about anything that happens here. I can't watch you be ruined by those ghosts!”
"At most, you'll pay with my life. You're my only daughter. I can't bear for you to die!”
At this moment, Minister Li understood that he would never give his daughter to the Ghost King.
Xiao Die was very touched after hearing this, but she still said resolutely,""Father is fine. Didn't you give me a talisman not long ago?”
"This talisman will definitely protect me.”
Minister Li looked at the talisman in Xiao Die's hand. It was the one Chen Fan had given him.
Although he didn't know if it would work, he stuck it in his daughter Xiao Die's room.
He did not expect his daughter to take out this talisman to comfort him that nothing would happen.
How was this possible?
The daoist priest was so young, and the talismans he gave were only good-looking at most. They could not kill demons.
"Minister Li, we've been waiting for so long. Why aren't you obediently sending your daughter over? Are you really going to break your promise to the Ghost King?”
At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door.
Minister Li's heart skipped a beat. He saw a black shadow approaching quickly through the window.
There were eight ghosts carrying the palanquin behind this black shadow. Obviously, they couldn't wait any longer and wanted to directly take Xiao Die onto the palanquin.
"Father, I'm leaving. Take care!"
Tears flowed down Xiao Die's face as she bid farewell to her father and resolutely walked towards the door.
Official Li's eyes were about to split open. He lowered his head and was shrouded in the shadows. Because he was too angry, his nails pierced through his skin and blood flowed out, but he did not notice it at all.
Xiao Die opened the door and walked toward the red sedan in her wedding dress.
The ghosts also smiled, thinking that the mission was about to be completed.
But at this moment.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
The talisman on Little Butterfly's body automatically appeared in the air, bursting with a sharp sword intent that directly enveloped all the ghosts.
The ghost that was arrogant and domineering just a moment ago was now motionless as if it had been immobilized.
Then, a sword qi burning with golden flames condensed in the void.
This sword Qi emitted a terrifyingly high temperature. It was pure Yang sword Qi.
The aura of extreme Yang had yet to touch those ghosts, but it already made them smoke and feel as if their bodies were about to be burned.
"Swoosh!"
The sword qi mercilessly slashed down from the sky. The eight little ghosts, including the ghost leading the way, let out a miserable cry and turned into green smoke on the spot, dissipating in the air.
This scene stunned Xiao Die.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Minister Li also looked up and saw what had just happened. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open as he looked at everything in front of him.
He was in a daze, as if he was living in a dream.
"What exactly happened?"
He didn't even see it clearly. He only heard a scream and then all the ghosts died.
The other servants of the Li family looked at the scene in front of them with dull eyes.
When they came back to their senses, their faces turned pale.
"It's over. We've offended the Ghost King. We're all going to die!”
"The Ghost King will definitely not let this matter rest after killing his entourage!”
"White Cloud Town will also be buried with us!"
“……………”
These servants and maids were shocked and their faces were filled with fear.
"Xiao Die, what happened just now?”Minister Li asked.
Xiao Die pointed at the talisman that was no longer glowing and said,""He was the one who showed off his might just now."
Minister Li remembered the young man who came to visit him yesterday. He knew that he had met a Taoist master.
"Lafu, quickly go to the Dragon Gaze Inn and invite the Taoist priest from yesterday.”
A servant seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly went to invite someone.
