After a thousand lifetimes of suffering and death, it could be said to be the greatest humiliation and pain for a woman.
After such a thousand lifetimes of torture, who knew how much hatred and unwillingness the pipa woman in the painting had accumulated?
What crime had her original body committed to deserve such punishment?
Even if a Golden Immortal from the heavens had walked through this mortal world a thousand times and rolled through a thousand reincarnations, the probability of finding their past was close to none, let alone such a meticulously planned calamity.
After reading the contents of this long scroll, Jiang Li had already guessed the approximate background of Granny Nether Mountain.
The other party was indeed related to the pipa woman in the painting, but she was not a reincarnation.
Even a mighty figure like Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha could not leave behind any memories if he wanted to reincarnate after the Cultivationless Age.
This pipa woman, who had suffered a thousand tribulations, naturally did not have that ability.
She crossed a long time and left behind nothing but the ugly red mark that covered half her face.
After many interactions, Jiang Li had already discerned that Granny Nether Mountain’s true body was actually not a granny, but a male ghost that was clearly alive.
It was because of the influence of the mark on her face that she became the Granny Nether Mountain who had ruled the Back Yin Mountain for 500 years and loved to sing and listen to music every day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was dominated by resentment and some memories from ancient times.
It seemed that the red mark was not natural. By chance, the male ghost encountered some ancient existence and was tainted by it, turning into a mark.
The red mark was the source of his strength. It allowed him, who was unknown at the beginning and could not even remember the name of the local land spirit, to grow into a powerful existence who could control the eight Demon Kings in an extremely short period of time.
However, that mark was also the most vicious curse.
Not long ago, his Ghost Lantern Cold Flame had burned that mark twice. Therefore, Jiang Li could roughly sense that what occupied the most of the mark was the resentment that was like a layer of red fog floating above Tragic Death City.
The difference was that the resentment was even stronger and shocking.
While the resentment and memories from the ancient times brought him strength, they also deprived him of his sense of self.
This was almost no different from being possessed.
Therefore, every time the “Granny” of the Netherworld Mountain recovered a little rationality, he would definitely think of a way to remove this red mark.
However, because his strength originated from the mark, it was almost impossible for him to rely on his own strength to escape the mark.
Therefore, after the other party discovered the effect of the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, he yearned for it so much.
It was understandable why he had acted irrationally when he saw Doll Street earlier, ignoring the invasion of resentment.
This was because the one who occupied the dominant position was a ball of resentment. Where did the rationality come from?
Fortunately, only resentment remained.
If the other party was really the reincarnation of a certain powerful figure, Jiang Li guaranteed that he would definitely turn around and leave.
Looking at the red mark that was stuck to his face and faintly showing signs of expanding, Jiang Li thought for a moment. Not only did he not stop the ghosts above and below, he even ordered the eighteen ghosts to take out more than ten torture tools in succession.
He let them continue to torture the pipa woman.
This effect might be very ordinary and might not really hurt Granny Nether Mountain.
This was because all the ghost servants present were most likely transformed from Granny Nether Mountain’s subordinates. This could only be used as a stage and was also the artifact of Granny Nether Mountain.
If they were not stupid, they would not really attack their master. Even if they really attacked, it would be very difficult for them to injure that granny with their own strength.
This could stall for time.
Now, because of his identity, he seemed to have the upper hand. He could order the other party to torture her at will.
However, in fact, he was the one in danger.
This was because after Jiang Li obtained the identity of a judge in this scene by chance, the other party did not forcefully end it immediately and continued acting as if nothing had happened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis meant that this scene had its meaning. If this scene reached the end, something bad might happen to him.
Therefore, it was precisely because of this that Jiang Li wanted to stall for time.
In any drama, there would always be a plot process with ups and downs.
What Jiang Li had to do now was to extend the process of “using torture” as much as possible.
Then, he would think of a way to completely defeat Granny Nether Mountain after this scene ended.
…
In the outside world, Sword Head Pei Zhong, who had already recovered from his injuries and rushed back from Fengdu City, was with Qiu Shui. According to Jiang Li’s information, he immediately rushed to a seemingly deserted street.
However, through the obstruction of the stage’s artifact space, it was not easy for them to accurately locate Jiang Li’s exact location.
He could only lock onto the nearby block.
“Little friend Qiu Shui, the illusion technique that trapped Alliance Leader Jiang’s artifact space is very brilliant. We can’t see any clues from above.”
“The efficiency of searching door to door is too low.”
Pei Zhong and Qiu Shui circled in the air several times. They used their own methods to scan the rows of ordinary houses.
However, they did not find any difference.
Jiang Li was trapped, and Sword Head Pei Zhong was far more anxious than Qiu Shui who knew Jiang Li’s true methods.
