She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 114: The real great master, is the ancient immortal resurrected?
And the most amazing thing is that without Patriarch Wusheng saying a word, Shang Hong confronted the Yinshan Old Ghost first. The atmosphere was very tense and it seemed that they were about to start a fight.

But they didn't dare to persuade him. This was a battle between true immortals, so they had no room to speak.

However, many people looked at Ancestor Wusheng with admiration.

"As expected of a giant who has been in charge of Wangui City for many years, he really has some tricks that can allow someone with Shang Hong's personality to achieve this."

Little did they know that Ancestor Wusheng was the most confused one.

In the end what happened?
The current situation has become extremely strange. Not only was Shang Hong inexplicably won over, but he also showed extremely fierce aggressiveness.

Although Old Ancestor Ku Gu had an old relationship with him, Shang Hong was unwilling to help him.

Are you willing to take action for me now?

Thinking about it, I know it’s impossible.

He didn't think he was that charming, and immediately looked at Xie Lian, feeling like he was looking up to a mountain.

"How did Madam Xie convince Shang Hong?"

The only person who might know the situation at the scene was the Old Ancestor of Dry Bones. Due to the huge deterrent power brought by Xie Lian, he certainly didn't dare to act rashly, so he kept silent.

But just as the old ghost of Yinshan thought, the plan that had lasted for hundreds of years had finally come to its conclusion. How could he be willing to stop at this critical moment?

Therefore, he was extremely conflicted, but when he saw that the old ghost from Yinshan could not hold back and took the lead in attacking, he thought it was a good thing.

It’s a good opportunity to use the Yinshan Old Ghost to find out more about Xie Lian.

Is it really as scary as Shang Hong said?
Although Xie Lian didn’t know the complex and dark thoughts in the heart of the Withered Bones Ancestor, he could more or less see that these people all had their own calculations.

She thought for a moment, looked at Shang Hong, who was trying his best to be aggressive and prove his innocence, and said with a smile.

"Don't be too nervous, Lord Long. I believe in you. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who hates evil. Even if I don't like many things, I'm reasonable and won't easily feel bad about people."

Hearing this, Shang Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

He performed so hard, just waiting for this sentence.

I said gratefully at that moment.

"Your Majesty, please understand."

This scene happened in full view of everyone.

Shang Hong, who was extremely aggressive in the previous second, became so submissive to someone in the next second, which aroused everyone's strong curiosity.

"Who is this person?"

Many people looked at Xie Lian.

He is quite unfamiliar and doesn't seem to be a very famous person.

But no one dared to underestimate him, because they could not see through Xie Lian's ability.

The old ghost from Yinshan did the same. He put Shang Hong aside for the moment and fixed his gaze on Xie Lian.

From somewhere in the darkness, a kind of enlightenment arises.

"Today's incident is most likely due to this person!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing in them, as he looked Xie Lian up and down.

"Who are you, sir? How dare you stand up for the old villain Wusheng? You better think about it. This old villain has offended the old dragon of Tongtian River. If you work hard for him and make the old dragon unhappy, I'm sure your end will not be good!"

But he had the intention of scaring Xie Lian away.

But before Xie Lian could think of how to respond, an old but powerful voice came from the void.

"Haha, it seems that I came at the right time. I happened to see a thief using my name to intimidate others. But you are unlucky. First, I happened to hear you. Second, you said this to Madam Xie. Madam Xie may not be afraid of me."

A dragon roar sounded in everyone’s ears, and the next moment, a huge green dragon claw stretched out from the void. In just a moment, it captured the Yinshan Old Ghost, and then threw it in front of Xie Lian like throwing a chicken.

The next moment, a white-haired old man in a green robe appeared in the center of the banquet. He looked at Xie Lian with a smile and bowed.

"Tongtianhe Ao Ping, I greet Madam Xie."

"Tongtian River!?"

"Ao Ping!?"

"This is the legendary one!"

All the guests stood up. No one dared to sit down. There was disbelief in their eyes.

The name of the Old Dragon of Tongtian River has long spread throughout the entire cultivation world. Even some newbies who have just started practicing may know this legendary figure.

The dragon clan was originally a large clan. They had occupied the rivers and streams of the world for countless years. No matter how the outside world changed, the dragon clan would always remain prosperous.

As everyone knows, the dragon clan has no dragon king, but since the old dragon became famous, the dragon clans all over the world have been implicitly headed by Tongtian River.

Lao Long never said that he wanted to dominate, but in the eyes of countless people, he was already a local overlord.

The name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. At this moment, everyone even forgot the dispute in Wangui City. They all looked at the old dragon standing in the center with his hands behind his back with a pilgrimage-like mentality.

Not to mention them, even the Old Ancestors Ku Gu and Wu Sheng could not sit still anymore. They stood up together with horror in their eyes.

"Why did this old dragon come to Wangui City?"

A moment of panic overwhelmed their hearts.

Although the old dragon may not have any malicious intentions, the arrival of such a "monster" brought them endless pressure.

If the old dragon is displeased, even destroying the city will not be a difficult task for him.

This person is truly a person of great supernatural powers, one of the few people standing at the top of the pyramid.

And at this moment, this legendary being was bowing to Xie Lian with an equal attitude.

This undoubtedly brought greater shock to everyone.

"Who exactly is this Madam Xie?!"

Ancestor Wusheng even felt like he was dreaming.

"Who exactly is Empress Xie?"

He had thought that Xie Lian might not be an ordinary person, but he had never thought that he could be extraordinary to this extent.

This is an old dragon...

Ancestor Wusheng was dizzy and understood in an instant why Shang Hong suddenly "changed sides".

This is a person whom all the ancestors of the Dragon Clan treat equally. If Shang Hong does not defect, will he continue to confront him?
"Thank you for meeting the Dragon King of Tongtian River!"

From the sudden appearance of Old Dragon to the capture of the Yinshan Old Ghost, everything happened in a split second, and even Xie Lian was unable to react.

Xie Lian felt flattered by the old dragon's salute.

This is the "uncrowned king" of the dragon clan, one of the people standing at the top of this world. He appeared in front of her so openly. It would be strange if she did not react at all.

Of course, besides being flattered, Xie Lian was more in disbelief.

Shang Hong said that the Dragon Clan would send someone important enough to discuss the matter of the dragon grandson with her, but who could have thought that it would be this person who would come in person.

"A mere grandson of a dragon actually alarmed Ao Ping. Isn't the dragon clan making a big fuss?"

This thought flashed through Xie Lian’s mind, but at the same time he also realized that there might be something else going on behind the scenes that he was not aware of.

"You don't have to be polite, Madam Xie. If you like me, just call me Brother Ao."

Ao Ping's eyes were deep and there was a smile on his lips, but he was also three points more cautious in his heart.

Because he found that even when he was in close contact, he couldn't see Xie Lian's level of Taoism.

"Could this person really be a sleeping ancient immortal who has awakened?"

Ao Ping pondered in his heart.

If this is true, then something big has happened in the cultivation world.

"Then I will shamelessly call you Brother Ao."

Xie Lian cupped his hands, feeling strange in his heart. Old Long had lived for who knows how many years, and was a great man with countless experiences. Her two lives combined were only forty or fifty years, yet she had to interact with such an old antique on an equal footing.

However, this was not the first time such a thing had happened. Strictly speaking, Danyangzi and Lame Zhenren were both much older than her. She quickly calmed down and asked tentatively.

"Brother Ao, are you here this time for the matter of Long Sun?"

She had made a contingency plan beforehand and thought about the possible reactions of the dragon clan.

Although she was right in suppressing the dragon's grandson, it was still a loss of face for the dragon clan.

Although the dragon clan seems to be relatively reasonable, there may be a few impulsive ones who are determined to avenge their grandson.

So, Xie Lian had planned for the worst.

But the person who came today was Ao Ping, so her worst plan was obviously useless. If the dragon clan really had any bad intentions towards her, they would not let this legendary being take action.

"How can Ao Ding's little matter be worthy of me, Old Dragon, making a personal trip? I just heard of Madam Xie's great name and wanted to make friends with her, so I came here uninvited. I hope Madam Xie will not be offended."

The old dragon stroked his white beard, smiling very kindly, and his words were full of sincerity, giving people the feeling that he really wanted to make friends with Xie Lian.

As he spoke, the old dragon looked up at the sky again, with a hint of doting in his eyes.

"Girl, now that you're here, why don't you come down and meet Empress Xie!"

A string of silver bell-like laughter immediately came through the air.

It turned out to be a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a light blue long gown, with a ponytail and a jade hairpin on her head. She had lively eyes, red lips and white teeth, and had an exquisite aura of an immortal, but she had a chubby face, and when she grinned, two small canine teeth were exposed, which made her look very cute.

This is the old dragon’s youngest and most beloved daughter, the Little Dragon Girl of Tongtian River.

"Ao Xiaoyue meets Empress Xie."

She bowed and appeared to be very polite, but her big, lively eyes were fixed on Xie Lian as she asked in a crisp voice.

"My father said that Empress Xie is at least on the same level as him, and is rare in the world. He told Xiaoyue not to be arrogant and to be polite. If I remember correctly, this is the first time my father has valued someone so much. Empress Xie, are you really as powerful as my father?"

As soon as these words came out, Lao Long couldn't hold it anymore.

He immediately glared at Ao Xiaoyue and said in a rough voice.

"Girl, why do you say everything out loud?"

Then he expressed his apologies and said to Xie Lian.

"My little daughter is really spoiled. Thank you, Madam, for not being offended."

Xie Lian was not surprised at all, she just thought that Xiao Long Nu was lively and cute, especially her chubby face, which was so pink and tender that she wanted to pinch it, so she smiled and said.

"Little Dragon Girl is cute and lovely, and she is very lovable. How could I be surprised?"

Then he looked at Ao Xiaoyue with a smile.

"Your father is too modest. The dragon clan controls all rivers in the world, and your father is the leader. Although he doesn't have the title of Dragon King, he already has the power of Dragon King. I am just an idler in the mountains, without any reputation at all. How can I compare with your father?"

Xie Lian was telling the truth. She didn't think she was comparable to Lao Long.

The other party not only has extraordinary personal strength, but also holds unimaginable power.

Ao Xiaoyue puffed up her cheeks, not shy at all, and walked straight to Xie Lian, making a face at Lao Long.

"Thank you, Madam, for lying to me. My father usually agrees to anything I ask, but he didn't want me to come with him to see you. He said he was afraid that I would say something careless and offend you. When have I ever seen him be so cautious? You must be more powerful than my father, right... My father was just rude to me, thank you, Madam, for helping me teach him a lesson!"

This girl looked like she was enjoying the fun, her eyes full of excitement.

However, the two adults, Xie Lian and Lao Long, were speechless. They looked at each other and laughed a few times. Naturally, they did not take these children's words seriously.

Lao Long glanced at the situation around him and said.

"This is not a place to talk. It's full of smoke and it makes me upset just looking at it."

These words made the brows of the Wusheng Patriarch and the Kugu Patriarch twitch wildly.

The former looked towards Xie Lian, his eyes full of requests for help.

It was quite scary to hear these words coming from Lao Long's mouth.

Xie Lian could understand Patriarch Wusheng’s anxiety and said with a smile.

"Brother Ao, what you said is a little inappropriate. Although this place is a little smoky and dirty for us, it is an excellent place for ghost cultivators in the world to practice... Humans have their own way, and ghosts have their own way. Instead of letting ghost cultivators go around harming people, it is better for them to gather in this city, practice peacefully, and abide by the rules of the city. In this way, it can be regarded as a great merit."

Xie Lian has always thought so.

If you ask her whether she likes Wangui City, of course she doesn't like it. But she thinks the existence of this city is very necessary, and it solves many problems invisibly.

"Thank you, Madam, for thinking so highly of this city?"

There was a look of interest in the old dragon's eyes.

"The laws of nature are constant, and everything in the world has its own rules. People like me instinctively don't like ghosts and evil ways, but existence is reasonable. We can't deny their existence just because we don't like them, right? Instead of taking drastic measures, it's better to take advantage of the situation."

"But I don't think this city is as good as the queen said. As far as I know, the one who built Wangui City didn't have such good intentions in the beginning."

Patriarch Wusheng’s face turned pale and he could only look at Xie Lian helplessly.

Old Long seems to be dissatisfied with Wangui City!

Xie Lian thought about it and said.

"In all things, we should judge by deeds rather than intentions. Perhaps when Fellow Daoist Wusheng first built the city, he only wanted to become the ancestor of a sect and dominate the area, but judging from the final result, he did provide a place for ghost cultivators in the world to practice, making the City of Ten Thousand Ghosts have a population of hundreds of thousands in just a thousand years... This is already a small achievement, but it's a pity that he has taken the wrong path over the years. What was originally a good direction has now deviated from the right path."

After these words were spoken, it was the turn of the Old Ancestor of Dry Bones' heart to start beating wildly.

He immediately stepped forward, saluted the two of them, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"This is all my fault. I was greedy and wanted to compete with Taoist Wusheng for power, which led to Wangui City straying from the right path. But please, Madam Xie, please be lenient with me before I make a big mistake..."

He deeply regretted his previous hesitation.

Knowing that it was Xie Lian who came, I should have greeted him honestly and not thought about anything else.

The Old Ancestor of Dry Bones no longer had any hope of luck. He was 100% sure that Xie Lian was on the same level as Old Dragon and was not someone he could afford to provoke.

"Fellow Daoist Ku Gu, don't be too nervous. I don't have much opinion of you. It would be better if you didn't have the human flesh feast."

Not much objection.

It's not that I don't have any opinions.

The old man with dried bones quickly grasped the crux of the problem, his face changed, and he was about to say something.

As a result, Patriarch Wusheng trotted up to him and spoke quickly.

"Thank you, Madam, don't worry. Those children are not in danger of life. I have protected them long before the banquet started. They are now in the City Lord's Mansion, well-fed and well-dressed. With me here, that Ku Gu guy won't be able to harm them in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Dry Bones almost fainted.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Ancestor Wusheng was almost spitting fire.

"You old thief, you're actually taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"

He was so angry that he was shaking. He was not careful enough and was caught by the Wusheng Patriarch.

At that moment, I felt angry and regretful.

And the old ghost from Yinshan, who was captured by Lao Long in the beginning and thrown in front of Xie Lian’s desk without daring to say a word, was even more inexplicably sad.

"Is there no one who can remember me?"

He felt that he was the most miserable one, sandwiched between two big guys and could only tremble in fear.

It goes without saying that Patriarch Wusheng is the one who benefits.

Although the Old Master Ku Gu had not gained any benefit, Shang Hong had mentioned Xie Lian to him before, so he was mentally prepared early on.

Only the old ghost from Yinshan was kept in the dark from the very beginning.

The disloyal Old Ancestor Ku Gu did not immediately send a message to Xie Lian to inform him of the situation after seeing him. Instead, he wanted him to go and ask for directions by throwing a stone.

It just so happened that he didn't control his mouth, and when he mentioned Lao Long, the real person heard it and subdued him immediately.

Now he was lying on the ground like a dead dog. He could move but didn't dare to. He didn't have the chance to interrupt even if he wanted to speak.

But think about it, this is also a good thing.

It would be good for him if the two bosses could forget about him and ignore his presence.

But sometimes, the more you don’t want to see something, the more likely it is to happen.

For example, now, Shang Hong, thinking of the old friendship in the past, still wanted to say a word for the old ancestor of Ku Gu, so he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Ancestor, thank you, Madam. Actually, the disaster in Wangui City cannot be blamed entirely on Ku Gu. Shang thinks that I have some understanding of him. Although his mind is not very good, it is not very bad either. The fundamental purpose of his doing these things is to compete for power with Taoist Wusheng. And as far as I know, the instigation of Yinshan Old Ghost is indispensable behind this... In comparison, Yinshan Old Ghost is the real vicious guy!"

Shang Hong passed the responsibility to the Yinshan Old Ghost.

You have to know that the two had just had an argument not long ago, and they almost got into a fight. It's hard to say that there was no personal emotion involved when Shang Hong was trying to pass the blame on others at this time.

But what he said was not wrong. In fact, Yinshan Old Ghost has indeed played such a role over the years.

Although the Old Ancestor Ku Gu also practices the way of ghosts, his reputation is not bad. In the cultivation world, at most, he is the kind of person who is kept at a distance. He is unlike the Old Ghost of Yinshan, who can make many people grit their teeth in hatred when he is mentioned.

This fellow is a pure cultivator of the evil path, and he uses all kinds of sinister and vicious methods. In the past, there were immortals from the righteous path who couldn't stand it and came to cause trouble for him.

But this guy has mastered a top-notch escape technique, so even if he can't win, he can still escape.

After hiding for a while, this guy came to Wangui City and hooked up with the Old Ancestor of Ku Gu.

His thoughts were very simple. A hero needs three helpers. He knew that he had offended people and had a bad reputation, which would easily bring him trouble. That was why he saw the potential of Wangui City and wanted to rule the city together with the Old Ancestor Ku Gu and become a local tyrant.

Now that he has a powerful foundation, it will not be easy for anyone to touch him.

The Old Ancestor of Dry Bones could not be considered an ascetic monk, but he was certainly not proficient in conspiracies and tricks. Only with the help of the evil old ghost of Yinshan, he appeared to be "skillful" over the years and suppressed the Old Ancestor of No Life to the point of suffocation.

But you reap what you sow. The old ghost from Yinshan Mountain has brought disaster upon himself today because of his past actions.

Shang Hong's words pointed the finger directly at him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat, and he quickly spoke.

"How can you slander me, Brother Shang? Although I, the Old Ghost of Yinshan, have done many wrong things and am not liked by others, can I do what happened in the City of Ten Thousand Ghosts alone? This is a ghost city, so we should be free and unrestrained. Most of the big and small forces in the city think this way. I am just following the will of the people. If no one supports me, how can an outsider like me gain the upper hand so quickly? Even if someone is held responsible, you can't put all the blame on me, right, Ku Gu? Speak, Ku Gu!"

The Yinshan Old Ghost spoke very quickly, and became more and more anxious as he went on, even in a pleading manner.

But the Old Man of Dry Bones just moved his mouth and said nothing in the end.

As a result, his heart sank suddenly, and a very bad premonition came to his mind.

"I understand."

The old ghost from Yinshan laughed miserably, but he did not show the fear or sadness that one might have imagined.

At this critical juncture, he was actually much calmer.

As an evil person, he thought about his own fate countless times. Just because he didn't want to end up in a miserable situation, he came to Wangui City and planned to build a foundation here that he could rely on. However, he didn't expect that this decision would ruin him instead.

But he had nothing to say. Falling into the hands of the old dragon of Tongtian River was not considered an insult to him.

When the Old Ancestor Ku Gu saw the Old Ghost of Yinshan acting like this, he naturally felt guilty. He knew that what the Old Ghost of Yinshan said was right.

The reason why Wangui City has become what it is now is not just the fault of Yinshan Old Ghost alone, but because all the forces, big and small, in the city have evil thoughts and are unwilling to stay together and abide by the rules set by Ancestor Wusheng.

This is what people want. Otherwise, things would never have developed like this.

But he couldn't be expected to explain everything to the Yinshan Old Ghost.

Although he hasn't done many bad things, he is still a cold-hearted person by nature. When he is in danger, he doesn't want to get into trouble again.

I can only lower my head and not look at the old ghost of Yinshan.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't speak for the Yinshan old ghost, but after hesitating for a while, the old ancestor Wusheng actually said something.

"What Yinshan said is indeed true. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. I was also a true immortal in my previous life. Because I was free and unrestrained and practiced as a loner, I was left alone when attacked and ended up in a miserable state. Although I later rebuilt myself and walked the ghost path to live a second life, I still lacked a sense of security. That's why I came to this ancient battlefield of the Wei Kingdom and built a ghost city. My intention was just to create a foundation so that I would no longer end up alone."

"The reason why I made rules to restrain the behavior of ghost cultivators is actually because I was influenced by the thoughts of my previous life. I know that the laws of nature are constant and those who do evil will eventually perish."

"I never thought that I was the only one who understood this truth, and I was not popular in the city. Even if there were no Yinshan and Ku Gu, there would always be more dissatisfied people who would force me to abdicate in a few years... The crux of this matter still lies with me."

At this moment, Old Ancestor Wusheng saw through many things.

In fact, he had taken the wrong route from the very beginning. It was right for him to build a ghost town and establish a foundation, but he should never have recruited a large number of foreign forces.

He still lacked experience and just wanted to expand as quickly as possible, but he didn't know that the minds of outsiders were more complicated and not something he could easily control.

It was good that he was in charge of Wangui City alone, so even if he was dissatisfied, no one dared to speak out.

But as long as there are a few more outsiders who can compete with him, people's hearts will suddenly become unstable.

If Ancestor Wusheng were given another chance, he would never do such a stupid thing.

His self-analysis undoubtedly gave him a clearer understanding, but after hearing it, the Yinshan Old Ghost felt unsure about what to feel.

He turned around, gave Ancestor Wusheng a complicated look, and sneered.

"Among all the ghost cultivators in the world, you are the only one who is a pushover. You have already walked the ghost path, but you still talk about some crap principles. Don't you deserve to be schemed against? And now you are even speaking for me. It's ridiculous and lamentable. How can you be such a pushover?"

He spoke sarcastically, seeming to look down on Old Ancestor Wusheng, but the complexity conveyed in his eyes was clearly visible to everyone.

"If I am given another chance, I will definitely not plot against you. It is really meaningless to plot against a good person like you."

As he said this, he glanced at the Old Ancestor of Dry Bones and sneered twice.

In the final moments, he understood a lot of things.

The old man with dried bones sighed in his heart, knowing that his helper had truly become disloyal.

"This Wusheng guy...sigh."

Complex thoughts arose in his mind, and he suddenly felt that this pedantic fellow, Old Ancestor Wusheng, did have some admirable qualities.

Many times, a person's ideas are deeply rooted and will not change easily.

But many times, it only takes a small opportunity, a word, or an event to make people change their minds.

This is the human heart, which is more complicated than anything in the world.

Xie Lian looked at the three people with different thoughts, and finally fixed his gaze on Patriarch Wusheng, and said.

"In your previous life, you were alone and were besieged by others, ending up in a miserable state. In this life, you learned from your mistakes and wanted to build a career. However, you were too greedy and aggressive, and almost ended up in a mess again. But I think you don't need to blame yourself or feel depressed. Things in the world are unpredictable. In my opinion, failure is a common thing. What is really rare is your kindness."

"Although he has become a ghost cultivator, he has not forgotten his roots and still has a human mind. The combination of the two is why he has formulated rules and established bottom lines. Such behavior is incomprehensible in the eyes of ghost cultivators and is considered an alien."

"But even if they are aliens, so what? You have to choose your own path. You are already a first-class ghost fairy, and you are qualified to choose your own path. This City of Ten Thousand Ghosts was originally built by you. You are also the city lord. How the city develops depends on your decision. As for those external forces, although they can bring temporary prosperity, they are ultimately false, and they will never be able to achieve unity from top to bottom."

If you are not understood, then you don’t need to be understood.

Ancestor Wusheng is already a ghost immortal. At his level, he is qualified to do whatever he wants.

He understood what Xie Lian meant, and felt a little excited, but also a little confused, because he himself didn’t know what he wanted to do. He just had a simple outline in his mind, but it was not clear.

He immediately bowed and asked.

"Wu Sheng asks Madam Xie, what should I do?"

Xie Lian noticed that even the old dragon looked over with interest, waiting to hear what she had to say.

Xie Lian hesitated for a moment and said.

"Instead of thinking about what to do, fellow Daoist, you might as well think about what you want Wangui City to become? Is it just a small force that can take care of itself, or is it the foundation of a city that can become a great city in the world? Or perhaps you can follow the will of heaven and open up a path for ghost cultivators in the world, practice the eternal way, and build an eternal city?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

Follow the eternal way and build the eternal city?
What a big tone!

Time is merciless, and who knows how many great men it has turned into ashes. Mountains and seas have been overturned, dynasties have risen and fallen, and who dares to talk about eternity?

If someone else said this, it would basically be regarded as nonsense, but this was said by Xie Lian, and it immediately made many people interested.

Ancestor Wusheng showed an unprecedented solemnity. At this moment, he actually felt a little sacred and bowed down again.

"Please teach me, Madam, how to make the City of Ten Thousand Ghosts eternal?"

Xie Lian said with a smile.

"I am not very knowledgeable and have little experience, so I dare not say that what I say is necessarily correct. These are just some personal opinions. If you are willing to believe, then you can give it a try. If you don't believe, it's no big deal, because I dare not guarantee the success rate."

Before giving advice to others, Xie Lian always does this: he does not say everything, but leaves room for consideration.

But as always, the caution she showed was seen by others as just self-deprecation.

So Patriarch Wusheng nodded frantically, indicating that he was willing to listen.

Xie Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he did have some ideas of his own. He organized his words and spoke slowly.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever thought that this city was not built for yourself, but for the entire ghost world?"
