Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

Chapter 198 Four Ghost Kings

The female ghost was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, the aura of this seemingly ordinary woman in front of him suddenly surged, and a powerful spiritual energy burst out.

The ghost cultivator then realized that this woman was not an ordinary person!

I was careless. How come I only realized this now after following her for so long?

She should have realized something was wrong when she took the initiative to grab the comb. This cunning person deceived her!

Seeing that the ghost cultivator wanted to escape, Chu Yu grabbed her hand and suddenly released a powerful mysterious energy, almost penetrating the ghost cultivator's palm.

The matchmaker ghost suddenly let out a scream that was even more shrill than before, with a hint of fear in its voice.

Her figure gradually became illusory, and Chu Yu felt that the cold feeling that was wrapped around her from the inside out quickly faded away.

Taking out the comb, Chu Yu found that this sturdy jade comb began to crack without any external force.

"She wanted to forcibly cut off the curse on you and escape from you. It would be extremely harmful for her to damage the object of her trust, but she obviously thought you were more dangerous, so she cut off her own arm in order to survive."

The soul immediately gave a warning.

So, Chu Yu held the matchmaker ghost even tighter. In front of the matchmaker ghost, she picked up the jade comb in her hand and applied a little force, and the comb instantly shattered into powder.

The matchmaker ghost watched all this in despair. For the first time, Chu Yu saw the fear from the bottom of his heart in these terrifying eyes.

"It seems that I broke the comb in advance, and you don't know how to untie me, right?"

Chu Yu curled the corners of her mouth. She could clearly feel that the matchmaker ghost's body, which was about to solidify, was constantly trembling.

However, this ghost seemed restless and still wanted to run away. It seemed that it had made up its mind. It looked at its arm that was restrained by Chu Yu, as if it wanted to forcibly cut off its arm.

Tsk, Chu Yu frowned, as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.

"If you move again, I'll turn you into ashes." Chu Yu narrowed his eyes and threatened bluntly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the matchmaker ghost suddenly became obedient. It seemed that he had not completely lost his mind in the face of danger.

There was a reason why Chu Yu didn't kill her. This matchmaker ghost should be considered powerful among the low-level ghost cultivators. Last night, she frightened the other ghost cultivators with just one move. The Yang family had a peaceful night, which was proof of that.

Then maybe she should be able to tell Chu Yu some inside information that he wants to know.

Seeing that there was no hope for this ghost cultivator to escape, and Chu Yu not killing her for the time being, she seemed to have accepted her fate. It seemed that the only way for her to survive was to obey Chu Yu and act accordingly.

Then her terrifying face began to change slowly. The corners of her mouth that were cracked to her ears began to close, her bulging eyeballs retracted, the bloodshot in her eyes slowly faded away, and the terrifying face slowly became a little more normal.

The makeup didn't change, as if it had been put on before she died.

Chu Yu let go, and the ghost cultivator breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Chu Yu's mysterious energy still remained in this ghost cultivator, forcibly imprisoning her by his side.

"Tell me about your curse. How did you originally plan to harm people?"

Chu Yu began to interrogate.

Seeing that it was himself who was being asked, the ghost cultivator accepted his fate and said with difficulty: "This comb is a betrothal gift. The woman who receives the comb, no matter whether she is old or young, married or not, will become the 'bride'."

"Women who comb their hair with the comb I entrusted to them will be cursed and begin to see me. If they feel terrified, it means that their mental strength is not strong enough. I cannot force them to get on the sedan chair, but I can use intimidation and threats to force those scared women to get on the sedan chair themselves. We call this process..."

The matchmaker ghost hesitated for a moment about what to say next. She also felt that it was not a good idea, but she did not dare to lie, so she said something very sarcastic: "The man and the woman are in love, and we are willing. The matchmaker successfully arranged a marriage."

"A woman who can clearly see the matchmaker will eventually agree to the matchmaker's proposal and marry..."

When talking about who to marry, the matchmaker ghost seemed to be hesitant about something. He looked at Chu Yu again and again, hesitating, as if he was weighing who was stronger between Chu Yu and the ghost groom.

"Tell me, you are in my hands now, not in his hands." Chu Yu didn't allow her to hide it, and gave the order without any emotion, but still opened a small barrier to isolate the sounds inside and outside.

The matchmaker ghost did not dare to neglect it, but the wrinkles on his brow became more and more obvious, as if he was afraid to mention that name, but he had to submit to Chu Yu's coercion and closed his eyes and said: "Ghost King... Thousand Faces Scholar."

"Ghost King Realm?" Chu Yu grasped the key point.

The matchmaker ghost seemed to be afraid to mention this name and only dared to nod. It was common for these ghost cultivators to curse anyone, and sometimes even mentioning his name would cause someone to be cursed.

For low-level ghost cultivators, the names of those powerful ghost cultivators seem to be taboos that they dare not even mention.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Yu still wanted to use her, the matchmaker ghost would not dare to say it directly, because she felt that Chu Yu might save her life.

The matchmaker ghost has concealed a lot of things. She plans to release some inside information from time to time so that Chu Yu will kill her later and buy herself enough time to escape.

While thinking about his plan, the matchmaker ghost inadvertently met Chu Yu's eyes, and was instantly fixed by Chu Yu's penetrating and silent eyes, as if the other party saw through his thoughts.

"You'd better not hide anything from me. If I can't get the answer from you, I will capture the Thousand Faces Scholar and interrogate him. Of course, I will kill you first before doing this."

Hearing Chu Yu's threat, the matchmaker ghost felt a huge pain in her hand. The mysterious power coming from the human cultivator was eroding her soul bit by bit.

Although her hands hurt, she was even more shocked. This woman actually wanted to question the Ghost King in person?

Regardless of whether the living person in front of her really has the strength to challenge the Ghost King, the matchmaker ghost didn't dare to think about it anymore, because if she didn't say something now, this woman could directly turn her into ashes.

Not daring to hold back any longer, the matchmaker ghost said quickly:

"That Qianmian... my former boss, his own bride ran away from the marriage before he died, so he particularly hated those newlywed women. He seemed to like marrying the brides, and when they wanted to flee in fear, he would catch them and torture them for fun. His realm has long surpassed the point where he needs to devour living people, but he likes to imprison the souls of those women in his body. Every time he catches one, he will have a tattoo of a woman's face. No one knows how many faces he has, but everyone calls him Qianmian... the scholar."

Calling the Thousand-Faced Scholar his former boss, this ghost cultivator seemed to continue to show his loyalty to Chu Yu: "Girl... No, sister, what else do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know."

Chu Yu did not comment and continued to ask: "How many Ghost Kings are there in this city?"

"Four," the matchmaker ghost suddenly shuddered. Thinking of the names he was about to mention, the ghost cultivator felt a chill for no reason in this gloomy place: "They are Qian, Qianmian Scholar, Tomb Keeper, Woman in the Tree, and... Embroidered Shoes."

"What realm is the strongest one in?"

This matchmaker ghost seems to know a lot. She may be a ghost who is close to the Thousand Faces Scholar. If not, she is at least a small leader.

The matchmaker ghost suddenly swallowed her saliva. She looked at Chu Yu carefully and said tremblingly, "It's... it's the embroidered shoes. She is at the peak of the ninth level of the Ghost King, half a step into the Ghost Emperor realm."

She didn't say what came next. The other three Ghost Kings all had to avoid the sharp edge of the embroidered shoes. They just looked at Chu Yu's expression and found that she remained calm even after hearing that the other party was about to reach the Ghost Emperor realm.

The matchmaker ghost cried out that it was bad luck. This living person was a little too dangerous. How could she be so unlucky to meet such a dangerous living person and be entangled by her!

"Tell me more about the embroidered shoes."

Hearing the order, the matchmaker ghost did not dare to delay, but still made mental preparations repeatedly. He looked left and right, looking very scared, and whispered: "Embroidered Shoes has no subordinates. She usually comes and goes alone and rarely shows up. No one knows what happened to her in her life. Even if she shows up, she only shows herself as a pair of embroidered shoes. But her curse is the most terrifying among all the ghost kings. We little ghosts of low realms are most afraid of being entangled by a pair of unknown embroidered shoes. She will always follow you and eat away at your body that has been hard to form. But at the same time, we little ghosts also respect her very much because she is very powerful and rarely appears..."

Maybe it was Chu Yu's barrier that gave her the confidence. Although the matchmaker ghost was afraid to mention this terrifying ghost king, she still said a lot. However, she became afraid inexplicably in the end, and tried to make up for it frantically, and started to flatter the embroidered shoes.

Chu Yu nodded, meaning that this person who had taken a half-step towards the realm of Ghost Emperor had no fixed residence and was difficult to find.

"What about the tomb keeper?"

"The team carrying the coffin yesterday was the mausoleum keeper's men. He is about the same strength as my master, both of them are at the seventh level of the Ghost King Realm. The mausoleum keeper was responsible for repairing the tomb chamber, but he ultimately failed to walk out of the largest mausoleum and was buried alive in the mausoleum he built. He likes to let others experience the feeling of being buried alive."

As she was talking, Chu Yu thought of the coffin. The cushion under the coffin was covered in blood. She seemed to think of something and felt a sudden chill for no reason.

"What did the woman in the tree say?"

Speaking of the woman in the tree, the matchmaker ghost seemed to recall something he didn't want to recall, and whispered, "Her appearance is so scary that even ghosts would be scared."

"Oh?" Chu Yu suddenly felt curious.

"The woman in the tree, her body was cut into countless pieces, some of which were only blood foam, but her head was placed in a tree hole by her murderer. She often said this: 'My body watered it, and my head decorated it.' Although I have never seen her actually kill people, the number of ghosts or living people she has killed is definitely no less than that of the embroidered shoes."

After talking about the four ghost kings in one breath, the matchmaker ghost felt as if she had done something particularly remarkable. If she could sweat, her back would be covered in cold sweat.

But what she didn't expect was that something even more devastating was yet to come.

After listening to the introductions of the four ghost kings, Chu Yu thought for a while and then asked:

"Now that we've finished talking about the Ghost King, let's talk about the Ghost Emperor."
