"You damaged the foundation of my sister's cultivation, so you need to pay for your actions," the hunchbacked old woman said with a cold smile. "What does it matter even if you're an earth immortal sword cultivator wielding a divine weapon? There will still be no escape for you."0

Chen Ping'an offered no response to this.0

Seeing that the city lord's chariot was about to arrive, the hunchbacked old woman started to recite a mantra and cast an immortal technique. As if growing legs, the withered trees started to move around and plow open the ground, quickly creating a large open space with no obstructions. As the chariot slowly descended, two female ghosts in green who were holding ivory ritual batons and responsible for opening the path landed on the ground first, tossing out their ritual batons and causing a spring of white light to rush over the earth. 0

The soil of the dense forest immediately transformed into a white jade plaza that was extraordinarily even and without a single impurity. Chen Ping'an was unwilling to make any contact with the flowing white light as it rushed past his feet, so he lightly jumped up and summoned a dry branch from nearby, stabbing the meter-tall branch into the ground before standing on its tip.0

When fighting alongside Mao Xiaodong in the capital of the Great Sui Nation before, Mao Xiaodong had especially explained to Chen Ping'an the powerful nature of formation cultivators afterward.0

The two female ghosts in green exchanged a smile. They hadn't expected that the powerful outsider who had caused Lady Bai to suffer was actually such a coward.0

"Such impressive courage, Young Master," the hunchbacked old woman sneered.0

"Such impressive observation skills, Old Grandma," Chen Ping'an retorted.0

The two beautiful female ghosts in green covered their mouths and chuckled in amusement.0

Living humans were naturally a rare sight in Malicious Ghost Valley which was crawling with ghosts and yin entities, and interesting living men were an even rarer sight.0

The gigantic chariot that appeared much like the small building of a maiden slowly descended to the ground, with two female ghosts dressed in extravagant honorary clothes immediately pulling back the curtains of the chariot in a soft and gentle manner. One of them then bowed and said in a mellow voice, "We've arrived, City Lord."0

Chen Ping'an looked up, and he saw a little girl wearing a phoenix headdress and a red face cover sitting inside the chariot. Her makeup was a bit too thick, and there was a dazed look in her eyes. It was as if she were a soulless puppet. The hems of her dress spread outward like a surprisingly big lotus leaf, and it covered almost the entire inside of the chariot. However, this made the little girl appear hilariously small in comparison.0

The city lord of Meticulous Skin City was called Fan Yunluo, and following her death, she had occupied this city and especially recruited female ghosts to assume the various official positions. She detested men, and she had given herself the title of High Official Rouge. 0

She was naturally short and petite, and even though this was the case, it was said...0
