When He Huo returned with Ming Ming on his back, Master Ming personally greeted them.

His target was naturally not them. When he looked back, he couldn't see the figures of Gou Liang and Bi Xia. He couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After inquiring, he learned that Gou Liang and the other had gone to the ancient tomb to explore, and they would come to see Ming Ming tomorrow. Master Ming was relieved only after hearing this.

On the other side, in the main burial chamber of the ancient tomb:

A group of ghosts knelt on the ground with trepidation. Among them, the highest cultivation was 2,700 years, and the lowest was 300 years. However, at this moment, they could only shiver under the pressure of Bi Xia. On the other hand, Bi Xia sat unceremoniously on the coffin of the tomb master with Gou Liang in his arms, looking down without expression at the poor creatures who were scared to the point of nearly losing their souls.

He hated this tomb deeply, and he had no good impression of these ghosts. The aura of the evil spirit was released without reservation, and some timid ghosts began to cry.

In his heart, Gou Liang sighed, "These were supposed to be millennium ghosts, formidable opponents, right?"

Only after entering here did he realize that the burial chamber with the bronze wine jar was not the main burial chamber of this tomb; it was the tomb of the son of the tomb owner. The main burial chamber was the one with the bronze sword.

A hundred years ago, those tomb robbers stumbled upon this place. The reason they managed to leave alive was that what they stole was not some other burial item but the bronze sword. Over the past two thousand years, they had been desperate to throw away the bronze sword and bronze wine jar. Having experienced countless failures, they were in despair. Now, someone finally took them away, and all the ghosts and monsters in the ancient tomb were overjoyed. How could they bear to keep the "kind-hearted guests" here to accompany them?

However, they never expected that after more than a hundred carefree years, this reaper not only returned but also integrated the souls from their respective millenniums into a fierce ghost with a cultivation of three thousand years!

...Oh, is it too late to go to reincarnation now, King Yama?

Seeing Bi Xia's face ready to crush these ghosts at any moment, Gou Liang comfortingly patted his arm and asked, "You're holding the souls of the Ming family. What do you want to do?"

The tomb owner was a noble marquis in his lifetime, a cunning old fox with a cultivation of over two thousand years. However, in front of Bi Xia, he was nothing more than a grandson.

At these words, he glanced at Bi Xia's expression and answered respectfully, "Reporting to Madam, we did not intentionally capture the souls of the Ming family."

"The Ming family originally belonged to our marquis's mansion. When we were buried, we left them behind to serve our lineage. They also made a solemn vow, pledging to serve our lineage for generations, and we, in turn, would bless the future generations of the Ming family with wealth and peace in the mortal realm."

"For a thousand years, they have been loyal. However, unexpectedly, five hundred years ago, they entered the court with our help, and one of them even became a prime minister, a highly respected position. Since then, the descendants of the Ming family have neglected thei duties. After becoming a prominent family in the mortal world, enjoying wealth and prosperity, the descendants of the Ming family began to disregard us. They thought of themselves as our masters, and even invited Taoists to try to refine us for their own use."

At this point, the marquis still harbored deep anger, and black qi surged all over his body. He gritted his teeth and said, "When their plans failed, they even wanted to exterminate us. If our cultivation were not high enough, we would have died at the hands of those lowly slaves who dared to rebel."

"I granted them prosperity, and naturally, I can take it back. They were unjust, and don't blame us for being unkind."

"Without our protection, the Ming family members were soon harmed by power and became displaced. I punished them lightly and allowed them to return to serve us when they resumed their proper roles. I didn't expect that after just over a hundred years, they would become lazy and now even want to move the ancestral tomb, severing the Ming family's service to the marquis's mansion."

"Humph, these treacherous scoundrels truly deserve to die! If it weren't for the loyal servants of the Ming family begging for mercy, giving their descendants a chance to reform, I would have killed this group of rebellious slaves long ago!"

He was filled with righteous indignation, and Gou Liang couldn't help but sympathize - the world had undergone great changes, but this marquis was still stuck in his affluent mansion, no wonder he was despised.

Gou Liang asked again, "You've been guarding here for these years. Have you ever encountered this person?"

Gou Liang released the ghostly aura extracted from Yun Xian's body. The ghosts in the tomb were shocked again - how come it's another three-thousand-year fierce ghost? Didn't they say that when the ten Yama Kings of the underworld swept through the mortal realm, all ghosts and monsters with a cultivation of over a thousand years were taken away? They thought they could hide safely in the tomb and had no rivals in the world, but now it seems they were too naive.

The tomb owner hurriedly shook his head. If they had crossed paths, how could they have maintained their peaceful life guarding the tomb?

On the other hand, the ghost servant of the Ming family who was serving outside said, "Reporting to Madam, this person, I haven't seen him, but I saw someone with a similar aura some time ago." "Oh, please tell me more."

Gou Liang's gaze fell on the humble Ming family servant who kept his head down and said humbly, "After the young marquis's tomb was exposed, some people came to investigate. This person came here a month ago. From their words, he seemed to be an expert they specially invited. I didn't see anything strange, and he left after a while."

Gou Liang understood.

This main burial chamber was constructed with extremely sophisticated Feng Shui techniques, supplemented by artifacts that could completely conceal the aura of ghosts. As long as they remained hidden here without actively revealing themselves, even disciples from the so called Changtian Gate would find it challenging to discover their presence, let alone with Gou Liang's cultivation without the system's assistance.

Seeing that these "home ghosts" who had not stepped out of the ancient tomb couldn't provide any more valuable information, Gou Liang looked at Bi Xia, "How do you plan to deal with these ghosts?"

Bi Xia looked at them coldly, remembering the grudges these ghosts had left on him three times, and said ruthlessly, "They've lived long enough. Since they don't want to enter the cycle of reincarnation, I'll kill them all."

The group of ghosts was horrified, crying and howling for mercy, "Forgive us, forgive us, my lord!"

Gou Liang secretly smiled. Waiting for Bi Xia to put on a show, he sang the white face, "Since I've come to this place and learned of your existence, I can't just ignore it. Considering that you haven't created much mischief, I'll put you all into the Nine Pagoda Tower. Once the ghostly aura on you dissipates completely, I'll send you into the cycle of reincarnation. How about that?"

The tomb owner shed tears, "Please, Madam, forgive us. We have lived peacefully here, and if we can cultivate into ghost immortals by chance, it wouldn't be in vain for our cultivation of over two thousand years. During these two thousand years, we have not caused harm to the local people. In the future, we will also restrain our family servants and ensure they don't go out to do evil. Please spare us."

They endured the desolation of over two thousand years, and now, halfway through their journey to longevity like Bi Xia, they would be able to condense a golden body and achieve immortality.

Now, letting them abandon their efforts halfway, how could they be willing?

Gou Liang used the Nine Pagoda Tower, and the power of the top-grade magical tool made the old ghosts tremble in fear.

-- They underestimated Gou Liang's abilities. Even without Bi Xia's help, dealing with them would be a matter of minutes. Realizing this, the old ghosts in the tomb felt as if their hearts were shattered on the ground.

Gou Liang calmly said, "Since you are unwilling to accept my arrangement, saying more is useless. Bi Xia, these people... ghosts, it's up to you to handle them."

Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, holding Gou Liang in his arms, and jumped down from the coffin.

In his eyes, a hint of bloodthirsty excitement appeared, as if he had been eagerly waiting for the moment to devour and tear apart these things he found displeasing.

The old ghosts in the ancient tomb cried out loud, begging for mercy and witnessing a ghost with a cultivation of a thousand years being pinched by Bi Xia, its head crushed, and its soul dispersed. As Bi Xia's ice-cold gaze turned towards them, they were scared and rushed towards the direction of the Nine Pagoda Tower, "Madam, we are willing to enter the cycle of reincarnation, willing to obey Madam's orders!"

Only then did Gou Liang take action, using the Nine Pagoda Tower to collect these nearly five hundred souls based on their cultivation levels.

Done!

Seeing Gou Liang's ecstatic look, Bi Xia, feeling rather unhappy, said, "Why do you need these things? Cultivating for nearly a thousand years and having no spiritual techniques, any hundred-year-old fierce ghost can handle them easily."

Gou Liang happily said, "Having cultivation is enough. I will refine their cultivation for you. If we can synthesize a ten-thousand-year cultivation, you will be able to control ghost energy freely, and it will save you from suffering under the torture of the Liangyi Formation."
