Chapter 173 The Wonderful Use of Merit (Subscription Request)
The sky brightened, and the originally quiet Dragon City regained its vitality.

The Ghost Festival, which was originally scheduled to last for three days, was resolved ahead of schedule by Chu Wujiang.

Although death and pain still plague local residents, they can finally sleep peacefully without worrying about ghosts coming for revenge or killing.

Magistrate Liu was still a capable official.

After the ghosts had dispersed, he ordered his personal guards to carry out boxes of silver and pile them in front of the government square, and then he preached to the people:

"During this Ghost Festival, the government will provide relief, regardless of whether there is anything wrong with the family, one or two taels of silver per household."

"Those who receive the compensation and have able-bodied men in their families must help bury the bodies in the city."

"And Longcheng's land tax, population tax, and corvée labor will all be exempted this year."

Wow!
The people of Longcheng simply couldn't believe that this was true, even if it was said by Governor Liu himself.

The officials around Prefect Liu couldn't help but say:

"Sir, are you just going to give them this huge sum of money?"

Prefect Liu snorted coldly:
"if not?"

"Haven't you suffered enough from this Ghost Festival?"

The officers lowered their heads one after another.

Everyone was scared.

Even though Chu Wujiang brought the Ghost King back in time and captured most of the ghosts, the losses in various places were still extremely heavy.

If the Ghost Festival lasted for three days as in the past, the death toll would at least multiply several times, and extremely powerful ghosts would be born.

The master whispered:

"Sir, the government treasury will not have enough money, how can we pay for the expenses?"

"The court has not said to exempt these taxes."

Prefect Liu said confidently:
"Don't worry, I dare to make such a promise. Even if Lord Longcheng comes back, I promise that all families will share the burden, including the silver for rebuilding Longcheng this year, and the policy of reducing land rent."

As soon as Chu Wujiang returned home, Magistrate Liu had been waiting for him at the Chu family for a long time.

"Lord Longcheng, can we start immediately the rent reduction and relief for the people discussed the night before yesterday?"

"Sir, go ahead and do it."

"The Chu family will fully support it."

Chu Wujiang agreed without any hesitation.

As for the Huo family, the Lu family, the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, and the Zhenhai Marquis' Mansion, they all agreed to the relief and had no objections.

Marquis Jingping and the head of the Huo family agreed very straightforwardly:

"Lord Longcheng's opinion is the Lu family's (Huo family's) opinion."

The two people's statements were very consistent. Even Marquis Zhenhai and Earl Weiyuan, who had no close relationship with the Chu family, agreed very enthusiastically.

The reason is also very simple.

Chu Wujiang can control the Ghost King and command thousands of ghost soldiers. Even in terms of military strength, he is the second most powerful person in Longzhou after the King of East China Sea, and is on par with Marquis Jingping and Marquis Zhenhai.

However, the meritorious services he had established had not yet been rewarded by the imperial court.

Anyone who dares to oppose Lord Longcheng will be beaten to death by Marquis Jingping and the head of the Huo family.

After Chu Wujiang agreed, he found that his luck [Longde Zhenxie] had become even stronger.

As the saying goes, immortality is the most precious thing.

This time, Chu Wujiang was successively promoted to Ghost King, sweeping away ghosts along the way and preventing evil ghosts, demon ghosts, and fierce ghosts from slaughtering on a large scale. These achievements combined can be regarded as a supreme merit.

[With this merit, it will be much easier to deal with the Ghost King of Misfortune. ]

[As the saying goes, good deeds can overcome bad luck and misfortune, so let's try it out. ]

Chu Wujiang sat on the mat, took a deep breath, and took out the widely circulated picture of a hundred ghosts.

At this time, the four ladies gathered together.

Chu Wujiang was about to take action, but then he felt something was wrong and asked:
"Youlan, aren't you going home?"

Lu Youlan covered her mouth and smiled:

"My husband wants to refine the Ghost King of Misfortune, don't you need my help?"

"If evil thoughts arise and you do bad things, won't that ruin your husband's reputation?"

"I am also good at the secret art of sealing. If the Ghost King of Doom comes out, I can still help."

The Snow Girl echoed:

"Madam, what you said makes sense."

Although Lu Youlan called her Sister Xue Nu, Xue Nu always regarded herself as a servant and recognized Lu Youlan as the mistress.

And Huo Mei'er nodded repeatedly:

"Master, I now have the seeds of rage, so I can explore the way ahead."

Yanluo asked the old housekeeper to move in many potted plants, which were planted with special mugwort.

It is rumored that mugwort has the effect of exorcising ghosts, but it must be injected with vitality by a warrior to achieve the same effect.

So Yanluo said seriously:
"Husband, the mugwort formation is ready."

Chu Wujiang saw the four ladies waiting by the side and couldn't help but laugh:

"Well, let's see what I can do."

Chu Wujiang closed his eyes and immediately activated the luck of [Eternal Bond]. Xue Nu and Huo Meir responded immediately and lent out their own soul power.

The spirits of the two ghost kings gathered together and turned into a long red line.

Chu Wujiang gently unfolded the Picture of Hundred Ghosts, and the eerie ghost aura rushed towards him.

If it were half a month ago, Chu Wujiang would still think that the Doom Ghost King was very powerful and should not be underestimated.

Now it is completely different.

His two wives are ghost kings, and they are not afraid of this little bit of ghost energy. Green Ivy Heart Entanglement Technique - Green Ivy Returns to Origin!
The smoke vine stimulates the growth of mugwort and dispels all the evil spirits.

"It's now."

Chu Wujiang opened his eyes, and stared at the changes in Daoyun with the Eye of Truth. He found the weakest point in the Hundred Ghosts Diagram, and let the red line penetrate directly into the Hundred Ghosts Diagram like a fishhook.

There was a pop.

Chu Wujiang's gaze followed the red line and merged into the world in the painting.

A ruined Taoist temple and hundreds of rampant ghosts.

This picture of a hundred ghosts not only seals the Ghost King of Doom, but also his once most elite troops, the ghosts that were used to run rampant.

At worst, they are evil spirits.

Chu Wujiang stretched out the red line to test the strength of the Ghost King of Misfortune, and the Ghost King of Misfortune was overjoyed:
"This kid is so brave that he actually dares to input his soul power into it."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want with the help of the Ghost King."

"I will let you know now why there are so many ghost kings in the world, but there are only seven great ghost kings!"

call!
The Ghost King of Doom is not afraid of being shattered into pieces. Even if he is cut into fine pieces, he can still condense himself again.

Because the seven ghost kings came into being.

Unless someone possesses the power of destiny, it is impossible to kill them.

"I am here."

The Ghost King of Doom risked his own body being broken into pieces, bit the red line, and like a hooked fish, he pulled desperately to catch Chu Wujiang's soul and seal it here for him.

【The fish has taken the bait.】

【Then give it a try! 】

Chu Wujiang chuckled and injected the supreme merit he had just acquired into the red line, bombarding the Ghost King of Doom.

"what!!"

The Ghost King of Doom screamed and instantly tore into pieces.

It is difficult for ghosts and gods to harm people with good deeds.

These merits, under the effect of the Qi of [Longde Zhenxie] and the power of the two ghost kings, successfully smashed the Ghost King of Doom into pieces.

The Ghost King of Doom shattered, but his mouth remained hard.

"it's useless!"

"No one can kill us. Even Master Shenghua can only seal me!"

"I am immortal..."

Chu Wujiang interrupted coldly:
"It's noisy."

"As long as I can turn you into luck, that will be enough."

The red line hooked up a small fragment, collected it from the Hundred Demons Picture, and flew out of the seal.

Chu Wujiang immediately shouted:
"Youlan!"

Lu Youlan's spirit had already left her body, and she was performing the secret sealing technique of the Biluo Immortal Palace!
The Secret of Blue Sea Love—Draw a circle on the ground as a prison!
Originally, there were fragments flying out of the Hundred Ghosts Picture, and the Doomed Ghost King could have escaped with them, but unfortunately he met Lu Youlan.

She sacrificed a [Heart of Love], and threads of love flew out from this glowing heart of love, sealing up the fragments of the soul of the Ghost King of Doom.

"Husband, the seal won't last long."

Lu Youlan shouted with some difficulty.

"enough."

Chu Wujiang stretched out his hand and placed it on the fragment, and words appeared in the heavenly book as expected.

[100 points of purple ghost luck detected. ]

[Is it transformed into luck and absorbed, or is it condensed into new luck? ]

Chu Wujiang immediately muttered to himself:

【absorb!】

"what!!!"

The Ghost King of Doom had never let out such a shrill scream.

There was a piece missing from his luck.

Chu Wujiang's red line appeared in the Hundred Ghosts Picture again.

Brother, let’s continue.

"Wait, wait."

"I surrender. I am willing to serve you!"

"Yes, you are the Ghost Emperor!"

"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"

The Ghost King of Doom trembled and begged for mercy.

Because at this moment, he finally understood that Chu Wujiang possessed the secret method of depriving people of their luck.

It’s okay for humans, but for the Ghost King, it’s simply a devil.

Chu Wujiang said lightly:

"Hand over all your luck, and I'll spare your life."

This ghost king is knowledgeable and experienced, so depriving him of his ghost luck might be of some use.

The Doom Ghost King hesitated for a moment, Chu Wujiang hummed, and he quickly agreed:

"I will hand over my luck to you right now!"
