Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 79 – Law Enforcement Hall’s Competition

Ghost Guest said nothing more, leaning silently against the bed, lost in thought.

The trap set by the senior brother was naturally difficult to unravel. When he escaped from Mark Ye's hands, he had also planned for a long time and endured for a long time; being anxious was useless.

With his current cultivation, it would take several more months to break through to Qi Refinement Level Four.

Since the senior brother said there was a way to break the situation, he should be able to figure it out in a few months.

Ghost Guest took out a jade slip from his storage bag, pressed it against his forehead, and after probing it with his spiritual sense, he sighed softly.

This was the jade slip the senior brother gave him last New Year's Eve, but until now, he still couldn't comprehend the mysteries within, as if it was just a blank jade slip with nothing imprinted on it.

Laura Jiang suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, gently massaging Ghost Guest's shoulders, "What are you thinking about, sir?"

Ghost Guest sighed, "If I die, what will happen to you all?"

It wasn't that he was worrying unnecessarily. If he died at Mark Ye's hands, no matter how the Demonic Extreme Sect arranged for Laura Jiang and the others, their treatment wouldn't be good. Moreover, with Mark Ye's personality, he probably wouldn't let them go.

Laura Jiang didn't respond, starting to sob instead. Ghost Guest turned to see Laura Jiang crying like a pear blossom in the rain, feeling a bit at a loss.

Ghost Guest reached out to wipe away Laura Jiang's tears, gently comforting her, "Don't cry, I was just teasing you."

Laura Jiang choked, "Sir, don't scare me. If you die, I won't live either!"

"Alright, alright, don't cry." Ghost Guest gently pinched Laura Jiang's nose, "I was really just teasing you. I won't die, and neither will you."

The ones who would die would be others, Ghost Guest silently thought to himself.

"Then you can't say things like that anymore, sir." Only then did Laura Jiang's sobs gradually subside.

"Okay, I promise you." Ghost Guest nodded with a smile.

The knocking sounded again. After Ghost Guest opened the door, Cynthia Jiang and Little Tiger immediately poked their heads in. Seeing Laura Jiang on the bed, they exchanged a glance and started to grin mischievously.

"What are you two..." Ghost Guest touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Cynthia Jiang giggled, "Nothing, I just came to ask if my sister would be coming back to sleep tonight, but it seems I don't need to ask now. Sister, I won't leave the door open for you tonight."

Little Tiger also gave a sly smile, "Dylan, Laura is a good girl, you should treat her well."

"Uh..."

We are ", find us on google.

Listening to their teasing words, Laura Jiang was so embarrassed that she covered herself with the quilt, her heart racing faster.

Cynthia Jiang leaned close to Ghost Guest's ear and whispered, "My sister told me everything that happened earlier. Sir, you must treat my sister well, or I won't forgive you."

Ghost Guest's eyes were full of helplessness.

Great, now there's no way to explain this clearly!

The next morning, Laura Jiang slowly opened her eyes, looking at the bedding on the floor, her face showing a bit of embarrassment.

She was supposed to warm the bed, but she ended up dozing off on Ghost Guest's bed, leaving him to sleep on the floor.

Fortunately, Ghost Guest had already left. If he were still here, she really wouldn't know how to face him.

However, the bed was quite comfortable. Thinking of this, Laura Jiang closed her eyes again and went back to sleep.

...

In the Law Enforcement Hall, Ghost Guest arrived at the entrance where Xie Ding'an was, and said calmly, "I want to buy someone's life."

"Who?" Xie Ding'an was focused on a dossier at his desk, not even looking up.

Ghost Guest placed a rolled-up portrait on the desk, "I don't know him, but his cultivation is around Qi Refinement Level Four."

The person in the portrait was the unfamiliar cultivator Ghost Guest had encountered in the low courtyard yesterday.

Xie Ding'an glanced at the portrait, then continued reading the dossier, "I'll have someone investigate. Do you want it done internally or will you handle it yourself?"

"I'm not sure about his background, and I'm not confident in killing him. Hire someone to do it, no bargaining."

"Do you want him dead or alive?"

"Alive."

Xie Ding'an nodded, "Finish your first match, and I'll have the person for you by night."

Ghost Guest's previous fights in the Law Enforcement Hall were just to join the hall. Each subsequent match would determine whether he could advance further in the hall.

In the Law Enforcement Hall, battle achievements played a crucial role in promotions. If you couldn't fight, you couldn't command respect.

Even if he didn't want to develop in the Law Enforcement Hall, he had to complete one match a month. They could accumulate, but the annual count had to be enough, or he would be punished.

Ghost Guest left the entrance and walked along the alley for a long time, arriving at a martial arena built of black stone. He took out an iron token forged from black iron and handed it to the cultivator sitting behind the iron desk, "Ghost Guest, Qi Refinement Level Three, twenty-nine acupoint breakthroughs."

The black-clad cultivator carefully examined the token, then selected a few iron sticks from a bamboo tube in front of him and handed them to Ghost Guest, "Choose and wait below the stage."

Ghost Guest casually drew one of the iron sticks, wiping away the red lacquer covering it with his fingers. The front was engraved with the characters "Gary Guisi," indicating his entry order for today.

Arranged by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the other cultivator who drew "Gary Guisi" would be his opponent today. The opponents drawn together wouldn't have much difference in cultivation.

Under the martial stage, a dense crowd stood, watching the battle on stage with rapt attention.

Ghost Guest didn't watch but instead leaned against the wall, closing his eyes to rest, quietly waiting.

The battle on stage was indeed exciting, and careful observation would certainly be beneficial. But today was his first match after joining the Law Enforcement Hall, and he had to be in his best condition to face it.

After a long time, the cultivator hosting the battle on stage loudly announced, "Next match, Gary Guisi, both parties enter within twenty breaths, or it will be considered a loss."

Ghost Guest's eyes snapped open, and he jumped onto the stage with a bend of his knees, landing steadily.

His opponent jumped onto the stage almost simultaneously, staring intently at Ghost Guest. The moment their eyes met, a flash of killing intent passed between them.

"Show your tokens and state your names."

"Ghost Guest."

"Yu Sheng."

"Begin!" The hosting cultivator retreated to the edge of the stage to avoid interfering with their battle.

Unexpectedly, both Ghost Guest and Yu Sheng retreated simultaneously, with vines breaking through the ground under their feet.

Both were momentarily stunned, their expressions turning serious. They hadn't expected each other to be using the Wood Spirit Technique.

They had encountered a fellow practitioner.
