“Village chief, there’s no need for you to think so much anymore. This ceremony will never be held again.” Gu Wuji said while taking several steps forward.
“Do you think this can be stopped if you disapprove?” The village said in a somewhat mocking tone, “Although you’re male, but it doesn’t really matter whether the sacrifice is male or female, so long as the grievance generated is sufficient enough……”
Following the village chief’s words, an extremely petrifying noise sounded from the cave behind Gu Wuji, as if something was forcing their way out from within.
The players had already subconsciously sensed an imminent great danger. Had it not been for their belief in Gu Wuji, then they would have already run away without any hesitation.
“Village chief, I believe, that the talismans attached inside the cave and outside that room, was because you were afraid of something. Afraid of a certain ghost which can pose a huge threat to you.” Gu Wuji didn’t care about whatever monster might emerge from behind at all, but only said lightly: “I previously thought that it was those sacrificed brides, but now I know.”
“What? Who is it then?” The complexion of the village chief changed. He gave Gu Wuji a fixed look, then softened his tone, as he resorted to alternately intimidate and induce Gu Wuji “If you say it now, I can still let you off, change the sacrifice to someone else, and even allow you and your companions to leave this village……”
Although the players knew that the words coming from a person like the village chief wasn’t really true, but a few players were still moved. But it’s a pity, that they still remained sensible in the end.
Had those first-time players or other uncultured people like Xiao Cheng been present at the scene, then the idea of betraying their teammates might have appeared.
“As expected, you really don’t know who she is, which is why you’re afraid. In this village, there’s actually someone whose power you’re ignorant of.” Gu Wuji looked at the other party, “So you’d even set this kind of conditions, just to know of her identity.”
At the same time as this, several huge and pitch black hands rushed out from the cave, heading towards Gu Wuji with writhing movements. Screams broke out from the crowd. This was the first time the villagers had seen the true and terrifying face of this so-called mountain god.
In spite of that, Gu Wuji, who was almost within the reach of the monster, didn’t waver the slightest bit, and only looked on quietly.
The village chief sneeringly said: “Do you still really believe that you’re capable of taking on the mountain god? I advise you to quickly tell the truth…… As I won’t be giving you anymore opportunities–”
The latter half of his sentence lodged in his throat.
The others also looked at the scene a short distance away in amazement. The players, on the other hand, were completely stupefied.
A red attired female ghost with obscured facial features had suddenly appeared by Gu Wuji’s side and seemed to be bound to that bridal attire worn by Gu Wuji. She unhurriedly walked away from Gu Wuji’s side, before turning to look at Gu Wuji with a somewhat gentle expression.
Be that as it may, this female ghost was also quite tall, and was unexpectedly, roughly the same as Gu Wuji’s height.
What’s more, those close by pitch black hands of the mountain god, unexpectedly shrank back in the face of this female ghost, and swiftly retreated back to the cave. But because of it’s relatively huge size, it became stuck at the cave’s entrance at this moment, like a fish on a chopping board.
The female ghost went in front of those pitch black hands. But the astonishing thing was, the strength of those large hands seemed to have completely disappeared, as it slowly began to dissipate starting from the edge. It was of no use even when it struggled frantically.
“It’s-, it’s you!” The village chief looked over sharply, “Who are you really?!”
At this moment, the mist obscuring the face of that female ghost finally disappeared, revealing a well favored appearance. She-, no, the word used should be he, he looked at the village chief indifferently.
Many elderly villagers were astounded. Even more so, the village chief, who was so shocked that he actually took several step back in fear.
“Village chief, this is your son.” Gu Wuji stated.
The reason why he hadn’t discovered the gender of the other party, was because, the other party’s figure in reality was very different from inside the dream…… But a lot of clues have already given it away. This had come into his mind after discovering that there was no female photo who could match up to that female ghost.
“How-, how could you be here! You should have died already!” The village chief was so shocked, that he could only constantly mutter to himself.
“That’s right.” Gu Wuji stated: “He is dead. As you’ve said, he had already been sacrificed to the mountain god. But for some unknown reasons, his soul became bound to this bridal attire.”
“I believe, he didn’t have much strength at the beginning. However, due to the obsessions of the dead brides, he was able to gain more and more strength. It was even because of those obsessions, that he was able to restrain the mountain god. But it was only because of the talisman’s restrictions that he was unable to go in the cave, or even set foot in the village.”
As soon as Gu Wuji touched that bridal attire in his hand yesterday, was he able to finally recall what that ‘female ghost’ had said to him in the dream. What he said was–
Bring me over.
Gu Wuji had thought of a lot of things at that time. Although he didn’t know whether this idea was even reliable or not, but his intuition made him chose to trust the other party.
Of course, if things were really to turn for the worst, he still had a card up his sleeves.
The village chief’s complexion drastically changed, “You-, you did those things a while ago on purpose!”
Up until now, no one had realized, that Gu Wuji had deliberately stood in front of the cave, while talking on and on was in order to stall for time. The village chief felt a sense of urgency because of this, coupled with his contempt toward these people, so he let the body of that mountain god come out the cave, but didn’t expect to face up with this ghost.
“No, I won’t allow things to end like this!” The village chief’s expression become difficult to look at. He bit his fingertip, and silently muttered something.
The eyes of the villagers in the area became vacant, as if they were being controlled. Some of them entangled the players. Because they were practically fearless at this moment, coupled with the fact that they had great strength that were unlike the ordinary people, had caused the players to be very confident in dealing with them.
While the rest of the villagers rushed towards the front of Gu Wuji to that ghost, who’s facing that mountain god.
Although Gu Wuji looked on to that ghost before him, who was absorbing the power of the mountain god to grow stronger, but that mountain god clearly couldn’t be directly done with in just a short period of time, if those controlled villagers were to do something……
But the problem was, Gu Wuji himself was currently incapable of making the slightest action due to his connection with the other party, otherwise he would have already gone to knock those villagers out.
But at this moment, several red attired female ghosts suddenly emerged from the mist. Some of them obstructed the villagers, while the rest of them actually drifted over to confront the village chief. An incredibly frightened and miserable wail suddenly erupted from the village chief’s side.
These female ghost could be said to be choke full of grievances towards the village chief, so they were now tormenting him without a shred of mercy.
The village chief had never expected that he would actually encounter this kind of thing, so he could only turn to Gu Wuji and say through clenched teeth: “You mustn’t be fooled by him!! He isn’t my son. Although he looks the same, but I know my son very well…… he’ll never be capable of doing this kind of thing at all. He’s just nothing but a wandering ghost, once he really becomes powerful, you’ll be the first to be killed!”
Gu Wuji suddenly thought of this issue as well, even though he had already said so much, but the system still hadn’t issued the notification about the completion of the mainline task until now.
“Village chief, there’s no need for you to think so much anymore. This ceremony will never be held again.” Gu Wuji said while taking several steps forward.
“Do you think this can be stopped if you disapprove?” The village said in a somewhat mocking tone, “Although you’re male, but it doesn’t really matter whether the sacrifice is male or female, so long as the grievance generated is sufficient enough……”
