After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

With the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor speaking, no one dared to say more.

Jiang Chen, satisfied with a smile, prepared to leave with Zhang Hu. But at that moment, a disciple came from outside the hall and whispered something into Tu Zheng’s ear.

Tu Zheng’s eyes lit up, and he said meaningfully, “Jiang Chen, guess where Lin Mubai has gone?”

Lin Mubai? Wasn’t he recently going around cutting people down?

Jiang Chen frowned.

“He went to the Ghost Tower and has entered the ninth floor! That place is full of ghosts as powerful as the peak of the Heavenly Origin realm. With his cultivation, it’s very unlikely he will come out alive,” Tu Zheng added.

The Ghost Tower was actually the Ghost Controlling Sect’s divine-grade spiritual weapon, housing ghosts of various levels for the disciples to train against.

The formation covering it even prohibited upper four realms cultivators from entering.

In Tu Zheng’s mind, if Jiang Chen wanted to save Lin Mubai, he would have to go alone. But the ninth floor of the Ghost Tower was so dangerous that unless one had the combat power of the peak of the Heavenly Origin realm, their life would be at risk.

A slight misstep and even Jiang Chen could perish inside.

Of course, Jiang Chen couldn’t die.

Thus, Tu Zheng’s plan was just to see Jiang Chen make a fool of himself, then step in to rescue him at the critical moment, thereby crushing Jiang Chen’s spirit while also saving some face for the sect.

But who would have thought…

“Oh, is that so? He died a terrible death,” Jiang Chen replied indifferently, showing no intention of rescuing him.

This response completely threw Tu Zheng off.

Jiang Chen was willing to use his power to save Zhang Hu, even willing to burn both jade and common stone in a clash with the Ghost Controlling Sect. But why such a reaction when it came to Lin Mubai?

Was Lin Mubai so unwelcome?

Moreover, Lin Mubai wasn’t even dead yet. He had just entered the Ghost Tower!

“Aren’t you going to save him? You are Lin Mubai’s Senior Brother.” Tu Zheng tried to persuade him.

“I won’t go, I don’t have the time,” Jiang Chen replied without a second thought.

This left Tu Zheng speechless.

Guessing his thoughts, an elder from the Ghost Controlling Sect sneered, “What kind of Young Master of the Jiang family is this? He doesn’t even dare to save his own Junior Brother, truly a coward!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s expression darkened.

Xiao Hongyi stared coldly, making the elder who had spoken feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Chen Sheng was even more direct.

“Hmph!!”

After a loud shout, his immense aura pressed directly towards the elder.

The elder instantly felt as if the air weighed a ton and his knees involuntarily bent.

Finally, with a “bang,” he knelt directly in front of Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Tu Zheng clenched his fists tightly.

Knowing he was no match for Chen Sheng, he could only mockingly say, “Today I see clearly that the so-called Young Master of the Jiang family only knows how to bully others with his power, without any real strength of his own.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyi’s body was already flickering with phoenix flames.

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes, his aura growing even more hostile.

Relying on the support of the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor, Tu Zheng was not intimidated and continued to mock, “If you want to fight, then let’s fight! But remember to keep Jiang Chen far away, after all, he’s too cowardly, and I can’t afford it if he gets scared.”

“You’re seeking death!”

Chen Sheng and Xiao Hongyi were both furious.

And just as they could no longer restrain themselves and were about to take action, Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop them.

“Sect Leader Tu Zheng, this provocation is a bit too low-level,” Jiang Chen said.

Tu Zheng didn’t bother to hide it and simply stated, “As long as it works.”

“You will regret it,” Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

“Regret?”

Tu Zheng shook his head and declared firmly, “I, Tu Zheng, have been in the Demonic Sect since I was young, my hands stained with countless blood, I have never known what regret is!”

“How about we make a bet then?” Jiang Chen proposed.

“…What bet?”

“If I successfully rescue Lin Mubai from the Ghost Tower, then the Ghost Controlling Sect better prepare twenty dowries, each worth a hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones!”

Tu Zheng fell silent upon hearing this.

The stakes were high.

Two million medium-grade spirit stones was a significant loss, even for a first-class sect like the Ghost Controlling Sect.

“What, has the Ghost Controlling Sect become so poor that it can’t even come up with two million spirit stones?”

Now it was Jiang Chen’s turn to mock.

Even so, Tu Zheng dared not agree. After all, the amount was too large, and he, as the sect leader, could not make such a decision on his own.

“Hey, if you guys are broke, you should have said so earlier!”

Jiang Chen shook his head, continuing to mock: “Being poor isn’t a crime, but pretending to be rich when you’re poor… that’s where you’re wrong.”

Such mockery made Tu Zheng and the others unable to lift their heads.

Gritting his teeth, Tu Zheng braved himself to ask: “What if you can’t bring Lin Mubai out from the ninth floor of the Ghost Tower?”

“You can do whatever you want,” Jiang Chen replied instantly.

“Fine!” Tu Zheng agreed through gritted teeth.

“If that happens, I want you to behead your two junior brothers in front of all the disciples and elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect!”

“Agreed.”

In no time at all, the news of Jiang Chen’s challenge to the Ghost Tower spread like wildfire throughout the Ghost Controlling Sect.

…….

The Ghost Tower.

This tower was located at the edge of a cliff in the deepest part of the Ghost Controlling Sect, with a bottomless abyss below, dark clouds swirling above, and the constant wailing of ghosts all around, giving it an extremely gloomy appearance.

Jiang Chen and his group soon arrived at the location.

Glancing at Xiao Hongyi and Chen Sheng, Tu Zheng repeated: “You must not rely on external forces, use spirit tools of high-grade or above, or destroy the formation from the outside. These are the prerequisite conditions.”

“Why do you talk so much?” Jiang Chen gave him a disdainful look.

“Hmph.”

Tu Zheng snorted coldly and turned away.

He felt sure of his victory.

Although intelligence suggested that Jiang Chen was extremely powerful in combat, with the restrictions on external interference and the use of high-tier spirit tools, Jiang Chen was bound to lose without a doubt.

After all, in the thousand years since the founding of the Ghost Controlling Sect, many prodigies had emerged.

And without exception, none of them had ever managed to enter the ninth floor of the Ghost Tower at the Core Formation stage and come out unscathed.

“Sect Master Tu, how much do you know about the great battle between the Jiuyan Sect and the Buddha Temple?” Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

Tu Zheng frowned, not understanding what Jiang Chen meant.

The Ghost Controlling Sect always kept a distance from the Buddha Temple because Buddhist teachings greatly restrained ghosts and demonic arts.

Therefore, as for the great battle between the Jiuyan Sect and the Buddha Temple, the Ghost Controlling Sect only knew the basics and not the details.

“What do you mean?” Tu Zheng asked in return.

“Nothing.” Jiang Chen shook his head.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Chen walked towards the nine-story Ghost Tower with his hands behind his back.

Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly turned his head and gave Tu Zheng a grin.

That smile made Tu Zheng’s heart chill.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But what shocked him even more was yet to come.

Jiang Chen brought his hands together and declared: “This poor monk’s dharma name is Triple Burial!”

As his voice fell, Buddhist teachings began to circulate within him, with a five-colored Buddhist light shining above his head.

His voice resonates with the sound of Buddha, his face serene like a high monk.

Tu Zheng rubbed his eyes. The elders and disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect did the same.

They couldn’t believe it, yet they had to.

Jiang Chen was actually versed in Buddhist teachings!

“This isn’t ordinary Buddhist teaching. This familiar feeling… could it be…” Tu Zheng was astonished.

He had clashed with the monks of the Buddha Temple, so he recognized it at a glance.

It made no sense! The teachings Jiang Chen practiced were likely the treasured sutras of the Buddha Temple.

Tu Zheng’s mind was filled with shock and confusion.

Why would those monks of the Buddha Temple teach Jiang Chen such profound Buddhist teachings? And how had there been no whisper of this?

If the old ancestors or high monks of the Buddha Temple were here and knew what Tu Zheng was thinking, they would surely ask:

Are you stupid?

Who would go around bragging about such an embarrassing matter?

Regardless, Tu Zheng panicked at this moment.

He worried that Jiang Chen really could bring Lin Mubai out, and then he would have to pay two million medium-grade spirit stones!

This decision was his alone. The ancestor would not allow him to use the sect’s resources.

Thus, he might lose everything this time!

When Tu Zheng came back to his senses, Jiang Chen had already entered the Ghost Tower.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic,” Tu Zheng hurriedly reassured himself.

“It’s just Buddhist Sect techniques. Without the secret scriptures of the Buddhist Sect, they’re not that useful.”

As his voice fell, bursts of wild laughter and voices came from inside the Ghost Tower.

“Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!”

“Dragon Soars in the Sky!”

“Om mani padme hum!”

“Haha! Mere ghosts, you think you can break my golden body?!”

“Female ghost, I want you to aid my cultivation!”

Tu Zheng: “…”
