Seeing that he couldn't trick the Qing Dynasty ghost, the bespectacled ghost wasn't annoyed. Instead, he mocked, "You useless old ghost, so cowardly, no wonder you've suffered for hundreds of years, with your limbs and chest ravaged by the Three Calamities and Five Poisons."
"May you be reborn as a pig or a dog after your ghostly life ends."
The Qing Dynasty ghost was so angry he snorted on the spot.
Even so, he still didn't confront the bespectacled ghost directly.
"Pah, what a bunch of incompetents! All of you useless ghosts, get out of my way!"
A fat ghost, with only half a buttock left but still retaining all four limbs, stepped forward. His ghostly aura was much stronger than that of ordinary ghosts.
He looked disdainfully at the surrounding wandering ghosts, "You cowards, wanting to hide in the hut to avoid the Three Calamities and Five Poisons, yet you're all too scared to step forward. Even as ghosts, you're all useless!"
"I'm telling you, this shabby hut can only shelter two ghosts from the Three Calamities and Five Poisons at most."
He announced loudly, his voice filled with undeniable authority.
"I, Big-Eared Ghost, am going in now. Who has the guts to follow me?"
"This is a one-time opportunity. If no one follows now, once I'm inside, you won't get a second chance."
He declared, then began to count down, "I'll count to three. Decide now if you want to join."
As soon as he finished speaking, Big-Eared Ghost started counting down publicly.
Seeing Big-Eared Ghost take the lead, a few ghosts became restless and stepped forward, expressing their willingness to join.
But the spots were limited. Big-Eared Ghost ultimately chose a female ghost with flowing long hair, who barely maintained normal features and figure, as his companion.
After all, if they successfully occupied the hut, then two ghosts couldn't coexist unless one was male and the other female.
"Girl, don't worry. Follow me, Big-Eared Ghost, and as long as you serve me well, you won't have to fear the Three Calamities and Five Poisons anymore."
"We'll share this house together."
Big-Eared Ghost said, reaching out his ghostly hand to give the female ghost a hard slap on the butt, causing her to let out a coquettish cry.
However, Big-Eared Ghost wasn't a good character. He wasn't just taking advantage of the female ghost; he used all his strength in that slap.
With a "smack," amidst the female ghost's scream, she was knocked into the hut.
The female ghost, slapped into the hut, turned pale on the spot, struggling to escape.
But as she crawled and rolled towards the door, she found the hut still eerily silent, with only an unusual motorcycle helmet on the ground.
Nothing happened!
Had the most fearsome old ghost, Jiang Yun, really left?
The female ghost felt a little relieved, secretly speculating.
Outside the hut, Big-Eared Ghost and numerous wandering ghosts were intently watching everything inside.
When they saw the female ghost being knocked in without any incident, all the wandering ghosts became excited, their ghostly cries echoing.
In an instant, countless wild ghosts wanted to rush into the hut.
"Courting death!"
Big-Eared Ghost shouted, "This hut belongs to me, Big-Eared. Who dares to fight me for it!"
Big-Eared Ghost was one of the more ferocious ghosts here. Seeing that the old ghost Jiang Yun seemed to have really left, he immediately unleashed all his ghostly aura, biting off the head of a long-tongued ghost with one bite.
At the same time, he reached out with both hands, shattering the chests of two wild ghosts.
His pair of big ears swelled in the wind, sweeping out like two ghostly snakes, piercing through the nearest seven or eight wild ghosts, killing eleven on the spot.
When a ghost is killed by another ghost, it truly dissipates, never to be reborn.
Moreover, they were all wandering ghosts, unlike the legal ghost citizens living in ghost villages, towns, or cities, who were protected by ghost soldiers.
If they were really killed by a ghost, no ghost would stand up for them.
Big-Eared Ghost's sudden display of ferocity directly scared the group of ghosts, making them retreat quickly, too terrified to approach easily.
"A bunch of useless wretches, at least you know your place!"
He laughed smugly, then returned to his normal form, swaggering into the hut.
Inside the hut, although the female ghost knew Big-Eared Ghost wasn't a good character and had just used her as a test subject, she still had to put on a smiling face to welcome him, trying to please him in hopes he would allow her to stay.
Seeing the female ghost so sensible, Big-Eared Ghost, though just a ghost now, remembered a movie he had seen in life. He immediately spread his legs and said to the female ghost in a strange voice.
"I'm burning up down below right now."
The female ghost was momentarily stunned, a struggle flashing in her ghostly eyes, but she quickly resumed her coquettish smile, preparing to kneel down and serve him.
Seeing the female ghost so obedient and understanding, Big-Eared Ghost's smile widened.
However, his smile didn't last more than three seconds before it froze. His ghostly eyes widened, his face instantly filled with infinite fear.
The female ghost, who was about to relieve Big-Eared Ghost's tension, hadn't even started when she was suddenly kicked away by Big-Eared Ghost, falling backward.
And Big-Eared Ghost himself, as if seeing a ghost king, didn't even bother with his pants, turning to flee.
"When did my hut become a place for any random ghost to enter?"
A cold, ghostly voice spread like electricity.
Jiang Yun, who had been missing for a while, appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the hut, his face as cold as frost.
The once arrogant Big-Eared Ghost, who had just reached the hut's door, suddenly trembled all over.
"Poof!"
A ghostly hand, thin as a snake, pierced through his back and emerged from his chest.
And it pulled out Big-Eared Ghost's ghost heart.
"No... don't kill me, spare... spare my ghost life, I won't dare again..."
However, Big-Eared Ghost's plea was cut short.
Jiang Yun crushed his ghost heart with a single grasp.
Big-Eared Ghost's ghostly aura exploded, his ghostly body turning into a wisp of smoke, disappearing forever.
Inside the hut, the female ghost, seeing Jiang Yun's sudden appearance and instant killing of Big-Eared Ghost, was already so frightened she collapsed to the ground, her ghostly eyes filled with endless terror and unease.
She quickly kowtowed to Jiang Yun, "Sir, I was forced, it was Big-Eared Ghost who forced me in."
"Please spare me, please spare me, I'll leave immediately, I'm willing to be your servant..."
Yet, Jiang Yun, with a cold expression, looked at the kowtowing female ghost, without a hint of hesitation, retracting his long hand and grabbing her head with a squeeze.
"Bang," the female ghost's head exploded, her ghostly aura leaking out, following in Big-Eared Ghost's footsteps.
In the underworld, besides needing money and power, Jiang Yun had learned over a hundred years that he must never show mercy. If you don't kill ghosts, you'll be killed by them.
In the past, lacking this awareness, he ended up in this situation after losing the incense offerings from his descendants in the living world, tricked by familiar ghosts.
Back then, he was a Greater Wandering Soul, just one step away from becoming an official ghost officer in the underworld!
Outside the hut, all the wandering ghosts who witnessed this immediately retreated far away in fear.
In an instant, within fifty meters of the hut, there was dead silence.
No more wandering ghosts in sight.
However, these wandering ghosts, with nowhere else to go, though terrified, still didn't dare to completely leave this place.
Because in the underworld, as long as they stayed near a building, even a broken one, they were protected by special rules. When the Three Calamities and Five Poisons struck, staying near a dwelling, these wandering ghosts might suffer the pain, but they still had a slim chance of survival.
Yet, if they truly left here, they would have no chance of survival.
In the underworld, the fate of wandering ghosts was indeed tragic!
