Xiao Bao? Adopting a Ghost as Mother!

Zheng Peng was clearly stunned by his master's reprimand. His master doted on him so much, yet now that he was crippled, his master was still scolding him like this?

Lin Chen looked at the grey-robed man with admiration. "As expected of a seasoned veteran. You know the disciple is in my hands. If you anger me, it could lead to a mutual destruction."

Mutual destruction?

Upon hearing this, Zheng Peng's face changed drastically. No wonder his master was scolding him. He was still in Lin Chen's hands. What if he angered him and Lin Chen killed him?

His master was scolding him because he didn't want him to die for this. His master truly cared about him the most!

"As long as you let me go, I can overlook what happened before!" Zheng Peng said urgently. For the sake of his own life, he could only try to placate Lin Chen for now.

As long as Lin Chen let him go, he would definitely have his master capture Lin Chen and make him wish he were dead!

The grey-robed man's expression was somewhat unsightly. He wished he could slap Zheng Peng. He had just said he wanted the other party to wish he were dead, and now he was changing his tune to overlook it. Did he really think the other party was a fool?

The grey-robed man looked at Lin Chen with a solemn expression. "What do you want to make you release Xiao Peng?"

"I didn't intend to make things difficult for him in the first place. I just wanted to use him to meet your master," Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

Huh?

The grey-robed man was taken aback. He just wanted to meet him and didn't intend to make things difficult for Zheng Peng? He found it somewhat unbelievable. Was it that simple?

Bang~

Just as the grey-robed man was surprised, a muffled sound came. Zheng Peng, who had a joyful expression, had a hint of confusion in his eyes. Blood flowed from his mouth, and he collapsed.

Lin Chen retracted his palm, sighing with emotion, "Youth is good. Falling asleep as soon as night falls."

"Bastard, you actually killed Xiao Peng!" The grey-robed man roared in anger. He hadn't expected that the other party, who had just said he wouldn't make things difficult for Zheng Peng, would actually attack and kill Zheng Peng the next moment.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't make things difficult for him?" Ghostly energy surged from the grey-robed man's body.

"Did I make things difficult for him?" Lin Chen asked with a look of surprise and an innocent tone. "I just saw that he was still awake late at night and was worried that staying up late would be bad for his health, so I helped him fall asleep. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about his health anymore."

"I'll kill you!"

The grey-robed man roared. The next moment, two figures flew out from him. They were two beautiful women, their bodies surging with ghostly energy, even more powerful than the female ghost that had been on Wu Xue earlier.

"Nine Sons Ghost Mother!"

Seeing the two female ghosts, Lin Chen's expression sank. He looked at the grey-robed man and said coldly, "As expected, like master, like disciple. You two are truly cut from the same cloth!"

"You killed my disciple. No matter who you are, you will die today!" The grey-robed man shouted coldly. The two female ghosts turned into streams of light and attacked Lin Chen.

"Since your master and disciple have such good feelings, I'll send you to be reunited!"

Facing the attacking female ghosts, Lin Chen didn't hesitate. He fully activated his Blood Qi True Flame and moved his body, charging directly at them.

Bang~ Bang~

Two muffled explosions sounded. The terrifying Blood Qi True Flame directly engulfed the two female ghosts. No matter if you were the Nine Sons Ghost Mother or not, you had no power to resist in the face of absolute strength.

"Killed a Tier 3 Ghost, Origin +2000."

What?

Seeing Lin Chen instantly destroy his two ghosts, the grey-robed man's face showed a hint of shock. Two Tier 3 ghosts were not even a match for Lin Chen in one move?

Tier 4, at least Tier 4!

A look of solemnity appeared on the grey-robed man's face. No wonder the other party dared to disregard his face and kill Zheng Peng directly. He was actually a Tier 4 Cultivator!

"So what if you're a Tier 4 Cultivator? A Tier 4 Cultivator will also die!"

The grey-robed man roared. Instantly, countless ghostly energies surged and merged into his body. His face became distorted, transforming into a seductive female face.

"Holy crap..."

Lin Chen was no stranger to the scene before him. It was the "invite ghost possession," but he hadn't expected that the grey-robed man would invite a female ghost!

"Mother, kill him!" The grey-robed man's voice came from within the ghostly energy.

"Don't worry, Xiao Bao. I won't let go of anyone who dares to bully you!" The seductive woman said with murderous intent.

Xiao Bao?

Mother?

"Damn it, you actually found a mother, and a ghost mother at that!" Lin Chen exclaimed in disbelief. The grey-robed man actually recognized a ghost as his mother and was willing to be a son to a ghost. This truly shocked Lin Chen.

As expected, these Evil Cultivators all had problems with their brains!

A thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind. He had encountered quite a few Evil Cultivators, but they all had one problem: their brains weren't working properly!

"Bullying Xiao Bao, die!"

The seductive woman coldly shouted, and a giant ghost claw reached out towards Lin Chen.

Bang~

A muffled sound spread. The ghost hand was instantly engulfed by the Blood Qi True Flame, and the seductive woman's body was sent flying backward.

Countless ghostly energies surged and continuously flowed towards the Blood Qi True Flame. In a short while, the Blood Qi True Flame was extinguished, but the seductive woman's body had also become noticeably thinner.

Clearly, the Blood Qi True Flame had caused significant damage to the seductive woman.

"Recognizing a ghost as your mother, does your dad know? Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your dad!" After landing a blow, Lin Chen was completely enveloped by the Blood Qi True Flame and charged directly at the seductive woman.

"I'll make you recognize a ghost as your mother!"

"I'll make you forget your ancestors!"

Fists wrapped in Blood Qi True Flame fell one after another. With each blow, the alluring woman let out a scream, her form growing fainter. She tried to counter with ghost energy, but couldn't even touch Lin Chen's body.

Swish~

Suddenly, a figure shot out from within the alluring woman. It was none other than the gray-robed man.

"I've been guarding against you all along. Go back and be a good baby for your mother!"

Seeing the gray-robed man charging at him, Lin Chen threw out a punch. The gray-robed man was sent flying back, crashing into the alluring woman's embrace. The next moment, he was engulfed by ghost energy, extinguishing the Blood Qi True Flame on his body.

"Damn it, how did Zheng Peng provoke such a terrifying fellow!" The gray-robed man's face turned extremely grim. Even inviting ghost possession couldn't do anything to Lin Chen. At this point, he already had thoughts of retreating.

Seeing the alluring woman attempting to retreat, Lin Chen coldly chuckled, "Weren't you just shouting that you were going to kill me and avenge your disciple?"

"You were going to teach me a lesson for your little darling?"

Lin Chen scoffed, his tone icy. "Since you're here, I'll let you and your disciple, mother and son, keep each other company!"

"Blood Qi True Flame, ten percent power!"

Lin Chen roared, slamming down a punch. It landed on the alluring woman. The terrifying Blood Qi True Flame instantly engulfed the ghost's form. In an instant, she, along with the gray-robed man, turned to ashes.

"Killed a third-tier Evil Cultivator, Origin +2000."

"Killed a fourth-tier Ghost, Origin +4000."

"Origin:"

"Can strengthen martial arts: Phoenix Undying Body First Level (5/9)"

Looking at the System panel, Lin Chen showed a rare smile. The string of events he encountered today had left him feeling very heavy-hearted, both regarding Tumen Village and Tang Jiajia.

With that thought, Lin Chen dialed Xu Fei's number and told him about Tang Jiajia's situation.
