Chapter 2492: Despicable and Shameless

Chapter 2492 -2493: Despicable and Shameless

“Alright then, since none of you have any objections to the plan I just proposed, let’s head out now.”

Over on Xioa Ying’s side.

Every day, Xia Ying stood at the crossroads where they had parted, longing and waiting in vain for Lin Chen’s return, but each day’s hope ultimately ended in disappointment.

At times, Xia Ying even experienced a profoundly strong illusion that perhaps Lin Chen would never return.

When Xia Ying heard that the righteous factions of the world intended to unite and hunt Lin Chen down, it was as if a knife pierced her heart, deepening her anxiety for him.

After all, no matter how powerful Lin Chen was, he was still on his own, whereas all the prestigious sects were joining forces; it would be easy for them to defeat him.

Thus, whenever he thought about this, a sense of worry and fear seeped into his heart, and more than once, he’d dreamed of the major sects hunting Lin Chen.

At night, Xia Ying dreamed of that boy with an elegant face who always gave her a warm smile, dispelling all the darkness from her life.

Xia Ying reached out, wanting to capture his handsome visage entirely, but as her hands approached his beautiful face, he vanished into thin air, only realizing it was a dream when she woke up.

That same night, she dreamt the same dream again, but upon opening her eyes found the moonlight outside the window soft and gentle, yet the boy was still not by her side.

Suddenly, a strange sound of footsteps echoed outside the door, driven by curiosity, she slowly got off the bed and walked to the door.

Opening the door revealed nothing outside, but inside the room, a strange voice emerged.

“I didn’t expect such a pretty girl to be here.”

Xia Ying felt a cold chill behind her, swiftly turned, and found standing before her a person with an incredibly strange, terrifying appearance. He had no eyes, ears, or nose, only a mouth, yet he could see her exact location and smell certain things.

Never had Xia Ying seen such a terrifyingly unusual person, instantly startled and quickly stepping back. It was then she remembered the pearl in her hand.

She tossed the pearl into the air, and suddenly, all sorts of strange folks, all top-notch masters, appeared and charged at the horrifying ghost.

Though they were guardians with great skills and extraordinary strength, they faced this ghost with contempt, soon defeated by the apparition.

The ghost wore a hideous, terrifying smile, stepping slowly towards Xia Ying, who was shaking with fear, retreating continuously, yet she realized that this ghost was far more fearsome than she had imagined.

“Little girl, you shouldn’t try to run. Even if you do, you can’t escape, so you best just surrender.”

With the distance between her and the ghost closing, Xia Ying’s panic and fear grew, wanting to turn and flee, but just as she turned around, she spotted another ghost not far ahead.

Yet that ghost ahead was entirely different from the one behind, the one behind was all white and especially menacing, while the one ahead was completely black.

“What do you want? I’m warning you, if you dare come over, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Xia Ying knew she couldn’t possibly be a match for these guys, but as the saying goes, one loses face but not dignity, and she couldn’t choose to yield.

Seeing the situation, they exchanged glances and laughed heartily, as if hearing a ridiculous joke.

After a while, both jumped high and relentlessly attacked Xia Ying on the ground.

Witnessing this, Xia Ying felt panicked and terrified, never expecting them to be so brutal.

She wanted to evade them, but her strength and speed were too weak, soon captured by the two ghosts.

“What do you want? I’m warning you, if you dare touch me, brother Lin Chen won’t spare you,” Xia Ying said.

In utter despair and fear, with mounting concern for Lin Chen to rescue her, Xia Ying was inwardly terrified.

Xiao Yue was very clear that he couldn’t suddenly appear. Upon realization, a sense of dread filled him. Was it truly his fate to be killed by these two ghosts today?

“Let me tell you, your brother won’t rescue you because he has already been killed,” the white ghost said as if sharing an especially amusing joke, laughing heartily, while the latter’s anger grew more intense.

“Stop lying! I’m warning you, if you dare say such things again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Despite Xia Ying’s threats, the white ghost remained disdainful.

In his eyes, such a weak woman posed no threat to him.

“You’re just a cheap woman. Do you think your threat has any effect on us? Let me tell you, we won’t fear him,” the white ghost said.

Trying to say more, Xia Ying suddenly felt a sharp pain on her neck, then passed out.

“Never expected this so-called medical immortal’s protection to be so useless, such a waste of our worry,” the white ghost laughed.

The black ghost agreed, initially frightened by the strength of the medical immortal’s protection.

Both were sent by Sect Leaders Yan and Han Bing to capture Xia Ying as bait to lure Lin Chen for an ambush.

“Alright, time for us both to leave this place,” the white ghost said.

About to leave, the black ghost paused, realizing he had something else to do.

“No, I can’t leave yet; there’s still something I need to do.”
