Hanging up and cultivating immortality in the troubled times

Chapter 23 Don’t think you can be freed by death.
The resentment and anger are overwhelming, and every word is filled with tears!

Chen Jing was now like a beast that had suddenly been scarred, staring fiercely at Pei Zhiqing and Lu Heng.

If he hadn't been seriously injured and his legs were disabled, he might have struck again in anger.

"Is what she said wrong?" Lu Heng looked at Chen Jing and asked, "Or is it because the fact that you are like this has something to do with the famous family you talk about?"

"Why, you are filled with righteous indignation and want to complain about me?" Chen Jing turned and sneered, "Don't think that you can change the world just because you have the strength of the eighth level at a young age. I don't need the pity of you people!"

"No, I just want to know if there is such a thing so that I can take precautions in the future." Lu Heng said with a smile.

"Senior, be careful of this person's slander." Pei Zhiqing reminded him hastily.

She just comes from a famous family and is worried about Chen Jing's nonsense.

"Whether it is slander or not, I will naturally judge." Lu Heng shook his head and said to Chen Jing, "Tell me about it?"

"No comment, just kill me." Chen Jing closed his eyes this time and refused to communicate.

"..." Lu Heng fell silent, but the expression on his face became strange.

He found that Chen Jing's current state was as if he had let go of any obsession and could die happily.

"Your identity was exposed and you wanted to die?" Lu Heng asked.

But Chen Jing still closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he didn't hear Lu Heng's words at all.

"Senior, do you want me to persuade him?" Pei Zhiqing whispered, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in this."

"No need." Lu Heng shook his head and asked Chen Jing, "There are so many bones in the dry well outside the stone chamber. Are they all caused by you?"

"Yes, I did it all." Chen Jing looked at Lu Heng as if a jar had been broken, and sneered, "Why do you ask so many questions to show your justice in killing me?"

"You are such a stubborn person." Lu Heng frowned and sighed, "Since you want to die so wholeheartedly, how about I satisfy your request?"

"You killed...what?" Chen Jing suddenly raised his head, as if he didn't expect that Lu Heng would really agree.

Then he laughed again, nodded and said, "Hahaha, you are different from those sanctimonious guys. You kill whenever you want, happily! Okay, okay, great! Come on!"

"I will give you a happy one." Lu Heng nodded lightly, and then he raised the Black Tiger Soul-Capturing Knife very decisively, and slashed at Chen Jing's neck impartially, but when the blade was about to chop off the opponent's head, When he was doing this, he suddenly whispered, "But don't think that you can be freed by dying."

Before he could even finish his words, the blade of the knife had already fallen.

Chen Jing's head immediately rolled to the side, blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, and the head rushed to Fangqian's side not far away, and the pool of blood spread there.

Fang Qian, who had been knocked unconscious by Chen Jing, seemed to smell the smell of blood and moved slightly before waking up.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Jing's head falling in front of him, then his vision went dark, and he fainted again, unconscious.

"Senior... you are really decisive." Pei Zhiqing was also very surprised.

In her opinion, Lu Heng obviously wanted to ask for a lot of information from Chen Jing, so he should first save the person's life, and then enlighten him bit by bit and gradually figure it out.

This method may not work at first, but as time goes by, it will probably work.

Why did you just kill him?
Pei Zhiqing was puzzled.

And from a perspective she couldn't see——

The outline of a gloomy archway appeared behind Lu Heng, with a faint blue firelight glowing on it. A strange and deep vortex was spinning in the center of the portal below the archway, leading to nowhere.

It’s the Baigui Gate Tower!

Just like when Yang Haichao's soul was captured and turned into a ghost soldier, the Hundred Ghost Gate Tower still made the same move, sucking in towards the location of Chen Jing's body.

Immediately, a humanoid outline appeared on the corpse, turned into a faint blue light that only Lu Heng could see, and flew into the Baigui Gate Tower.Just wait a moment, and Chen Jing's soul will be transformed into a ghost soldier who only obeys the orders of Baigui Gate Tower without any self-awareness.

Of course, under normal circumstances, ghost soldiers will not remember what happened during their lifetime.

"Let's go." Lu Heng shook his head gently, turned and left.

At the same time, the bodies of Fang Qian and Chen Jing, who were lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly disappeared, and they were all put into the inner fire alchemy furnace by him.

As long as it is not fired, this magic weapon can also be used to store living creatures.

"Yes, senior." Pei Zhiqing nodded and followed Lu Heng.

Although she also saw the scene where Fang Qian and Chen Jing's bodies disappeared, she didn't feel much surprise in her heart.

After all, in her eyes, Lu Heng was a disciple of a legendary land god, and it was normal for him to have some extraordinary means.

After leaving the stone room and jumping out of the dry well, Lu Heng took Pei Zhiqing back to Fang Qian's other courtyard and ordered, "Search this courtyard and pay more attention to letters and the like."

"I will not let you down, senior!" Pei Zhiqing immediately bowed her hands and said.

In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, so that he could truly investigate what Fang Qian had done.

However, there were experts in the house where Fangqian was hiding before, so she couldn't take action.

Now finally has a chance.

After Pei Zhiqing left, Lu Heng once again used his magic power to activate the Hundred Ghost Gate Tower and summoned Chen Jing, who had just been turned into a ghost soldier.

Ghost soldier Chen Jing already looks much younger than when he was alive.

At this time, he looked like a burly and strong middle-aged man with dark skin and an expressionless face, standing there upright, waiting for orders.

"The state of ghost soldiers is actually ghosts that have lost their self-awareness." Lu Heng thought for a moment, and then took out two crystal stones from the game backpack, namely "Fragments of Resentment" and "Pure Soul Power".

This is the drop he got after clearing the single boss copy "Downtown Haunted Mansion".

[Fragments of Resentment: An unadvanced spiritual creature, a secondary component of earth-bound ghosts.It can arouse the resentment in the heart of the ghost and restore its self-consciousness for a quarter of an hour. It can also be used as an auxiliary material for refining certain magic weapons. 】

[Pure Soul Power: An unadvanced spiritual creature, a secondary component of earth-bound ghosts.It can be used to strengthen the spiritual power of practitioners, solidify the form of ghosts, enhance their strength, and stabilize their consciousness. It can also be used as an auxiliary material for refining certain magic weapons. 】

These two spiritual objects are enough to give Chen Jing a "surprise".

Lu Heng flicked his finger, and the fragments of resentment and pure soul power were driven into the body of the ghost soldier Chen Jing.

His originally expressionless face suddenly became ferocious and full of resentment, and his previously dazed eyes began to shine again, as if he had returned to normal consciousness.

But the sudden return of normal consciousness caused Chen Jing's ghost soldier body to begin to show signs of collapse. At this time, pure soul power came into play, reinforcing and stabilizing his ghost soldier body.

"This, this is..." Chen Jing touched his neck in disbelief, then looked down at his palms, feeling that the world view he had formed over decades had been completely overturned.

Finally, he looked at Lu Heng who was in front of him, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Do you still remember what I said before?" Lu Heng said with a smile, "Don't think that you can be freed by death."

Not only is there no relief, as a ghost soldier, even if he has self-awareness, he must obey the orders of the master of the Hundred Ghost Gate Tower.

This is the instinct of ghost soldiers.

Chen Jing understood his current situation the moment he regained his self-consciousness. After a brief shock, he knelt down in front of Lu Heng respectfully and saluted: "Ghost Soldier Chen Jing, pay your respects to the Immortal."

Lu Heng nodded lightly, and then said: "Tell me about you, Fang Qian, the stone chamber, and the bones."
