Chapter 24

Up in the air, three silhouettes kept colliding . The female ghost in white clothes was growing weaker . Her body became clearer and clearer as if she was about to disappear . She looked like she was suffering, but Xugui didn’t intervene . His eyes were only filled with the flames of joy . Nian Nuer! If he managed to catch her, all of his efforts would finally pay off .

As he looked at Nian Nuer’s mother, he couldn’t help but think of a technique that was a part of his ghost controlling techniques: the Mother and Daughter Dual Curse .

The mysterious technique was very powerful, especially when the mother and her daughter had yet to die . If someone ever killed the daughter, then the body of the mother could be used to give birth again . In the unceasing process of life and death, the ghosts would become much stronger .

However, the mysterious technique was very cruel, as the rebirth required the mother to eat a hundred children’s souls and hearts, with all of them being less than six years of age . It was very cruel .

Even though the requirements were strict, the advantages were incredible to the point that he was a small price to pay . Besides, how many people died every year? Millions, so a hundred children was insignificant . During periods of famine, people even ate children . It was normal . It was the sad truth .

It was better to eat some children rather than only a few grains of rice .

For Xugui, finding a hundred children was easy . However, finding a single high-quality female ghost wasn’t, especially one with a mother . Back when he had heard of that mysterious spell, he had been overjoyed, but he then realized how difficult it was to find female ghosts and their mothers .

The mother couldn’t have retained their mental abilities because it was too difficult to control them if they did while the daughter would need her mental abilities . There was no problem about her counterattacking since her mental abilities also implied maturity .

Such criteria was really difficult to fulfill .

But nothing was impossible . Xugui had thought of himself as blessed by the gods, as encountering a female ghost and her daughter was something that rarely happened within dozens or even hundreds of years .

Xugui could already imagine himself terrifying and torturing people . He had never wished to be a good person . He had always dreamed of being a bad person, a demon .

The female ghost was struck hard and crashed onto the ground . At that moment, Xugui finally moved and took out a small black flag, throwing it in the air . The flag swelled to half the size of a person, and it was three chi in length .

The flag was dark with black lines that looked like snakes . They looked alive whenever the flag fluttered .

Xugui had gone through innumerable hardships and tribulations to make that flag, but it had a name: Ghost King Banner, but there was only one female ghost was inside .

Xugui was talented, but he was also ambitious and proud . For him, ordinary ghosts weren’t qualified to go into his Ghost King Banner . He had only had one ghost who could go inside .

The Ghost King Banner had one another name, the Hundred Ghosts Banner, one ghost made a flag, ten ghosts made a tool, and a hundred ghosts made a banner . Lastly, a hundred ghosts could be ordered wander at night by their Ghost king .

Xugui hoped that his flag would become a real Hundred Ghosts Banner . He would make a hundred ghosts wander in the world and kill all his enemies .

Before, he had only one ghost in his banner, so now, he wanted to have more to improve his banner . After all, while it was a real tool for Taoism, it was just the embryo of a tool . To become a tool, he needed ten ghosts first .

Taoist tools were precious . Skilled priests all wanted Taoist tools .

When he saw Nian Nuer, he knew he wanted to raise her in his flag and make her become a Ghost King . Since her mother was there too, he felt even more ambitious .

A Ghost king, which could keep coming back to life, would be incredibly strong . It was an unimaginable power .

After throwing the Ghost King Banner, the black chains moved like snakes and sealed the area around Nian Nuer and her mother .

Even though Nian Nuer was strong, she had less fighting experience than the female ghost and couldn’t fight against Xugui at all .

Xugui had remained motionless the whole time, but now that he had an opportunity, he would capture Nian Nuer and her mother .

When Nian Nuer realized that she was restricted, she became furious . She transformed into a green-faced, long-toothed monster . She became gigantic, and her strength increased to the point of breaking the black chains that restrained her .

After that, she went back next to her mother’s side and broke her chains too .

When Xugui saw that, he became even more enthusiastic . Nian Nuer’s strength proved that she had already matured . He pointed a finger at them, and the female ghost next to him turned into a shadow which entered the Hundred Ghosts Banner .

In a flash, the Hundred Ghosts Banner became gigantic and came back to him . The flag then moved towards Nian Nuer and her mother to envelop them .

Nian Nuer knew the situation was getting dangerous . She grabbed her mother’s hand and moved back at full speed, but at that moment, the absorbing strength of the banner became too powerful . Nian Nuer couldn’t move .

Nian Nuer could have abandoned her mother and escaped safely, but she didn’t . How could she possibly abandon her mother? She wanted to leave with her .

Xugui flashed an evil smile . His heart was pounding, and he wanted the ghost mother and her daughter . Even if he got injured in the process, it would definitely be worth it .

Even though Nian Nuer’s mental abilities were intact, she was still young . She didn’t understand that Xugui was a cunning person .

Xugui could attack Nian Nuer’s mother, her weakness, then he could easily take control of her .

At that moment, the Ghost King Banner mainly absorbed the mother and a little bit of Nian Nuer . After all, her mother was much weaker than her .

When Nian Nuer saw that he was absorbing her mother into the Hundred Ghosts Banner, she couldn’t hold it anymore . She suddenly shouted furiously, “Brother!”
