Chapter 125: The Greatest

The three elders of the Chi family are clearly not very happy about Chi You's rejection.

"That's what you full-bloods are supposed to do, it's your duty to help the family deal with the Yin!"

"You're only eighteen, what are you afraid of the ghost pattern backfire, and then backfire now won't die, don't you hurry up and do it?"

"You, what kind of look is that!"

An elder said in horror.

Chi You withdrew his eyes and walked slowly to the side of the ghost in red. Jiang Luo looked into his eyes and saw Chi You placing his hand on the body of the female ghost in red. The ghost lines spread from his neck to his arm, and from the back of his hand to his fingertips.

The closer the ghost pattern got to the female ghost, the more dismal the female ghost's screams became. The black ghost pattern even broke away from Chi You's body, like a viscous black liquid that began to devour the female ghost in red from the head.

The female ghost in red screamed in terror, her screams were about to pierce Jiang Luo's eardrums. Her whole body was pinched by the ghost pattern and rose up in the air, from her upper body to her abdomen, disappearing into the ghost pattern a little bit.

The Chi family elders gave a relieved look and nodded, "That's right."

But as soon as their words fell, the ghost baby in the red-robed female ghost's stomach suddenly squeezed out of the female ghost's stomach, and the bloodied mass fell to the ground, suddenly bouncing up and viciously biting a person's neck before the Chi family elders could react!

The Chi family elder who was bitten in the vitals screamed out in pain, "Aaaaaah!"

He tugged hard to pull the ghost baby away from his neck, his face turning blue as he choked, and the ghost baby clambered around his neck with both hands and legs, as if it had grown on his neck. Chi family elder looked at the other two men with fear and trepidation, "You have to come and help me!"

But the other two had long since gone into hiding and shivered.

Chi family elder's face instantly gloomy, under the threat of death, he forcefully yanked down the ghost tire on his neck, but even a piece of flesh on his own neck also pulled down, he was in pain again "ho ho" two sounds, vocal cords were damaged, and could not even speak, and finally was so painful that his eyes rolled over, and fell heavily on the ground.

Chi You smiled oddly.

After one person was killed, the ghost baby's two empty eyes fixed on two other people. The other two men's hearts fluttered as they saw the ghost baby jump on the ceiling and rush towards them.

The ghost baby's bouncing power is extremely strong, it jumps around on the walls and ceilings, from time to time rushing down to tear and bite and attack, in a short while, the remaining two elders have been bitten by the ghost baby bruised and battered, full of blood flowing and convulsing and softly collapsing on the ground.

Seeing that they were about to die, Chi You then devoured the female ghost completely and stepped forward to devour the ghost baby that attacked them in the ghost pattern as well. After doing all this, Chi You coughed with a pale face, "Since there's nothing to do, I'll go back to rest first."

The elders lying on the ground over a hundred years old looked at him dead in the eyes blinded by blood, their fingers constantly shaking, urging him to save them quickly.

Chi You looked at them with a slight twinkle in his eyes and said gently, "Don't worry, I will call someone to save you, and I will definitely not let you die."

"How can you die?" He turned and walked out of the shrine, pleasantly, "How can you die at the hands of others."

After Chi You's back disappeared, Jiang Luo slipped silently into the shrine.

The three elders were close to being out of breath, blood pooling in a puddle underneath them. Two had fainted, leaving one conscious. It was only when Jiang Luo reached his side that the gray-haired Chi family elder noticed that someone was approaching. His eyes lit up with hope of survival, but in the next instant, the man crouched down in front of him and grabbed him by the neck with precision.

"Close your eyes," the visitor's voice was cold, "If I catch you with them open, I'll gouge them out."

Chi family elders were horrified, "Who are you?!"

The visitor didn't say anything, but his fingers kept pushing harder and harder, even poking one hand into his abdomen where a piece of flesh had been bitten off by the ghost baby, almost on the verge of touching his intestines.

Chi family elders panicked, "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll give you anything you want, don't kill me!"

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and if you answer them well, I can spare your life," the hand on his neck swiftly exerted itself, causing the elder Chi family to cough violently and uncontrollably, "Is that clear?"

"I'll say, I'll say anything!"

"What's a full-fledged ghost tattoo?"

Chi family elder teeth knocked for a moment, "Ghost pattern, ghost pattern is something that every first family has, when not in use it will be sealed in the three moles, when in use it will climb out of the moles, it is the strongest undercard of the first family!"

Jiang Luo asked, "What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Ghost Pattern?"

"Ghost patterns can devour everything! With every powerful grudge devouring, the power of the ghost pattern becomes stronger. However, the Ghost Pattern will backfire on the human body, and the more the Ghost Pattern is used, the more it backfires until one day, the Ghost Pattern will devour the possessed owner as well. After each use of the ghost pattern by the first family, the ghost pattern backlash will bring severe pain, and when the ghost pattern backlash is over, they will also experience a period of weakness."

Jiang Luo suddenly realized.

No wonder Chi You reappears much weaker after once helping him kill the faceless monster in the trainee dormitory.

Isn't this exactly the period of weakness after using the ghost tattoo?

"Why are you feeding Chi You to the Knights?"

The Chi family elder looked a little shrunken, "Our Chi family became famous by completely removing the spirits, Chi You, since you are the first line, you have to take the responsibility of revitalizing the family. We will let him take care of any grudge spirits we capture, every previous generation of the first line has done so, big deal, big deal, before we die, we will have another offspring, anyway, the ghost pattern will always be lodged in the body of the first line of the Chi family ......"

Jiang Luo said with understanding, "So it's because you're treating the first family as a trash can, you guys are really scum."

What is it if not a garbage can when they feed the stern ghosts to the first line, and the first line's ghost patterns keep backfiring, forcing the death of the first line?

He lit a cigarette with one hand and sat down on the ground so he could continue to ask, "Where did the ghost tattoos of the first family come from?"

"Several, several hundred years ago," Chi family elders said with trepidation, "the Chi family line saved, saved a man, that man gave the ghost tattoo to the Chi family in return, when the ancestor of the Chi family and the ghost tattoo merged into one, his strength increased greatly, and he took the Chi family to the top. The ghost tattoo has been reincarnated in the first family for generations, making every first family member a genius with outstanding spiritual body! They are also the only ones who can learn the art of puppet soul refining ......"

"Who is this man?"

"Yes--"

Chi family elders open their mouths and seem to want to say something, but he opens and closes his mouth several times without uttering a single word, and finally his brain is crooked and he suddenly dies.

Jiang Luo frowned and reached out to put his hand on his nostrils, he was no longer breathing.

Is it also a secret that can't be told who that man is?

In fact, Jiang Luo won't believe everything that comes out of this person's mouth. Because this is the world of mirrors, and there is a man behind the world of mirrors.

The secrets in this world were not always all accurate. Who knew if this was something that the person behind the curtain had deliberately said to him to stir up his attention?

Jiang Luo got up and left from the shrine.

But as soon as he went out, he saw Chi You standing in front of the door.

Chi You was only three meters away from him, and he didn't know when he stood there and how long he had been listening. The shadows of the trees enveloped him, and he said to Jiang Luo with great interest, "If you have any questions, you can come and ask me."

Jiang Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he steadied his unchanged countenance as he complied, "Okay, then tell me, why do all the women who marry into your Chi family's full lineage die before the age of thirty?"

"Because they will be impregnated and will give birth to the descendants of the first line," Chi You took a step forward, the shadow faded from him, Jiang Luo stood still until Chi You pushed in front of him, "The descendants of the first line will be born with the body of a human ghost, and the power of the Ghost Marks is so strong that the mother will be sucked out of her life force little by little during the process of conception. During the process of pregnancy, the life force of the mother will be sucked away by the ghost pattern little by little. When the child is born, the mother will die."

"While the first family doesn't want their descendants to be tortured by the ghost tattoo, the side families don't. In the eyes of the collateral lineage, the first lineage is their strongest weapon to stabilize their position. In order to hide their evil intentions, every time they marry a wife for the first lineage, they would divine the eight characters and marry a short-lived woman who would willingly give birth to offspring for the first lineage, and then push this 'will die at thirty' curse onto the first lineage, making the reputation of the first lineage infamous."

Chi You lowered his head and locked eyes with Jiang Luo at close range, his eyes were as morose as a stern ghost's, but he smiled and said in a nice manner, "Young Master Jiang, what else do you want to ask?"

The smell of cigarettes exhaled back and forth between Jiang Luo's nostrils as he calmly said, "That's a lot more."

The waves in the shadows went tit for tat, with no one backing down a step. It was at this moment that a boy hurriedly ran from afar, "Young master, someone has come to investigate the deaths in our mansion!"

Chi You straightened up and took a step back, smiling and not laughing, "Young Master Jiang, accompany me to take a look."

Jiang Luo shrugged and followed him at a brisk pace towards the gate.

Chi family At the main gate, two men in military uniforms stood at a distance.

The one standing at the front was wearing a well-tailored dark gray uniform, a cloak to keep out the sand and dust, a leather belt tied around his waist, and a horsewhip covered with barbs hanging above him. He was looking down at the newspaper, his trouser legs straight, long riding boots wrapped around his strong calves, his tall figure blocked the passage of the entire gate, and he looked like a sharp and merciless dagger, with a powerful aura.

Jiang Luo and Chi You kept walking until they came to the front, and the adjutant standing behind the man glanced at them before alerting them in a low voice, "Young master, people are coming."

The uniformed young man looked up from the newspaper, his military cap covering his brow and eyes, revealing only the man's sharply curved lower jaw and his thin lips hooked up in a meaningful way.

He wore white gloves and gently closed the paper, "The masters of the Chi family, that's two kids?"
