　　“Om Mani Padme Hum！”
　　“Om　Vajrasattva　Hum！”
　　Simultaneously with the appearance of the golden Buddha’s hand, Xu Taiping and Monk Chongde put their hands together and began to continuously chant the mantras.
　　“How did you, how did you know that I am the Ghost King？！”
　　The green-faced and fanged ghost king, while constantly struggling, loudly shouted at Xu Taiping and Monk Chongde with an angry tone.
　　The means used by these two people in front of him, the two mantras that restrained him, and the timing of the shots were all only used when dealing with the ghost king.
　　So it is not difficult for the ghost king to guess that his identity has been exposed in advance.
　　“Om Mani Padme Hum！”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t pay attention to him at all. Instead, while continuing to recite the mantra, he pulled Chu Xiaoxiao and Qing’er, who had a look of horror on their faces, behind him.
　　At the same time, he used the art of controlling objects to control the mirror on the table to fly into his hand, and then drew a spell on the mirror with the blood from his fingertip.
　　This spell was also taught to him by Monk Chongde.
　　This is a Zen spell drawn by Bore Temple in conjunction with several other major temples specifically to restrain the Ghost Butu.
　　But even this spell is only effective before the Butu Ghost Domain takes effect.
　　“Om　Vajrasattva　Hum！”
　　After drawing the spell, Xu Taiping raised the mirror in his hand and chanted the mantra loudly again.
　　“Boom！”
　　The moment the mantra chanting sounded, circles of golden Buddha light full of sacred energy flew out from the mirror, like ropes, trapping the ghost king, and finally dragging it into the mirror like tentacles.
　　In just a short moment, that ghost king had already been sealed within the mirror.
　　“As expected of Lord Heavenly Guardian. Using the Great Brightness Ghost-Annihilation Mantra for the first time, and having such power. I remember when our abbot sealed a ghost king, it took a full stick of incense.”
　　The monk Chongde beside him was dumbfounded.
　　Xu Taiping actually also felt a bit strange. Although he was chanting these mantras for the first time, when he chanted them, there was a special sense of power.
　　“That, that Brother Xu… Just now this was…”
Chu Xiaoxiao finally woke up from her astonishment at this time.
　　The old gentleman from Shiyi Studio beside him also relit the candles in the room at this time.
　　“You two, could that just now be the ghost king of the Ghost Pagoda？！”
　　The old gentleman from Shiyi Studio had much more knowledge than Chu Xiaoxiao and immediately asked the key question.
　　“Amitabha, precisely.”
　　The monk Chongde answered on behalf of Xu Taiping with a sense of pride.
　　“The old man on behalf of Shiyi Studio thanks you two adults！”
　　The old gentleman from Shiyi Studio gratefully cupped his hands and bowed to Xu Taiping and the monk Chongde.
　　Any cultivator who has learned about the Ghost Pagoda knows that where they appear, casualties of over a hundred are considered light.
　　However, this old gentleman probably doesn’t yet know that the real target of the Ghost Pagoda is not their Shiyi Studio, but the entire capital city.
　　“Wait a moment. Why haven’t the marks of the Ghost Butcher disappeared yet？”
　　Just then, the monk Chongde suddenly looked at the wall of the Western Zhou Dynasty in surprise. In his sight, the marks of the Ghost Butcher on the wall of the room not only didn’t decrease but continued to increase.
　　“Qing’er！”
　　And just at this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly let out a loud cry. Then the candles in the room went out again, and a cold and gloomy wind suddenly blew in.
　　“Shua！”
　　Before everyone could react, a sword light suddenly slashed down from behind Xu Taiping, cutting his body into two pieces.
　　It was only at this time that the monk Chongde and the old gentleman saw clearly that the maid Qing’er who was originally standing beside His Highness Xiaoxiao had now turned into a tall man. On his torn shirt’s back, a mark of the Ghost Butcher that was emitting a bloody light was revealed.
　　“Among this group of Ghost Butchers… there is also a Ghost King？！”
After opening and closing his mouth a few times, the old gentleman of Shiyi Zhai finally let out a exclamation.
　　“Om mani padme hum…”
　　“Bang！”
　　Just as the monk Chongde was about to recite the Great Brightness Annihilation Mantra, a thick bloody hand suddenly stretched out from the chest of the second Ghost King and slapped heavily on the monk Chongde, slamming him heavily on the wall.
　　After doing all this, the ghost king transformed by Qing’er grabbed Chu Xiaoxiao’s hair, dragged him and walked towards the outside of the house, saying coldly as he walked：
　　“Don’t be afraid, I won’t kill you for the time being. Your blood still has some use for us…”
　　Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao was first stunned, and then immediately reacted – “The Ghost Pagoda caught me for the Lethe Prison！”
　　Although she was a female gambler who didn’t attend to her proper business, she still knew something about the magic cave in Huoyun Temple and the Lethe Prison under the capital city.
　　“Shua！”
　　Without any hesitation, Chu Xiaoxiao struggled to take out the short blade that was opened from the red flame stone from the ring, cut off her own hair with one stroke, and broke free from the hand of the ghost king.
　　“Your Highness, escape from the window here！”
　　The old gentleman of Shiyi Zhai, who also realized the seriousness of the matter, immediately pushed open the originally closed window.
　　“Bang！”
　　But as soon as the window was opened a crack, it was sucked shut again by an invisible suction force, and at the same time, the old gentleman was firmly bound by the arms extending from the Ghost Pagoda mark on the wall behind him.
　　Seeing that the exit of the window was blocked, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately took out a stack of talismans from the ring and threw them all at the ghost king.
　　But the moment these talismans were thrown out, they were all caught by the arms extending from the Ghost Pagoda Seal on the inner wall of the room and dragged into the seal.
　　This was precisely the true power of the Ghost Pagoda Seal under the control of the Ghost King.
　　“Swish！”
　　Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, Chu Xiaoxiao was not overly cowardly. She mobilized all her true essence and slashed at the Ghost King with a knife.
　　“Bang！”
　　But the knife that Chu Xiaoxiao swung with all her strength was easily blocked by the Ghost King with a sword, and at the same time, her lower abdomen was punched heavily by the Ghost King with a “bang”.
　　This seemingly casual punch made Chu Xiaoxiao almost lose her soul in pain.
　　She felt that all her internal organs and meridians had been impacted by this punch.
　　“It’s over… I’m going to be reincarnated without even saying hello to my father. When we meet in the Underworld in the future, I’m afraid I’ll be scolded…”
　　After feeling her consciousness becoming more and more blurred, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought anxiously.
　　“Zhī！… ”
　　And at this moment, a harsh cicada chirp suddenly rang out in her ears.
