Full-time Swordsman

"Hurry up and go to the City Lord's Mansion to watch the show!"

"I heard that the maid of the Empress came back to visit her hometown today, and the City Lord personally received her!"

"What, the maid of the Empress is a ghost from our city?"

"Aren't they fellow villagers? It's such an honor. I really envy her for being able to serve the Empress."

"It is said that the maid was ordered by the Empress to recruit the most outstanding ghosts from all over the ghost cities to form an Jinyiwei organization similar to the imperial court in the mortal world, with great power."

"Damn, if she can be selected, wouldn't she be very successful in this life and have the opportunity to meet the Empress?"

"Hurry up! I want to see!"

....

Lin Jichen was about to go out of the city, but saw that the ghosts in the city were all rushing in one direction. Everyone was whispering and talking, as if something good was about to happen.

Lin Jichen had no interest in getting involved, but after hearing the four words "the Empress's maid", he couldn't help but stop.

The Empress's maid? If he finds her, won't he be able to contact the Empress? This will save him from running around in the ghost world.

Thinking of this, Lin Jichen changed his mind, turned around temporarily, and followed other ghosts to the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the spacious square was filled with densely packed ghosts. Everyone stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe, wanting to see the face of the Empress's maid, and even more wanting to see how this so-called selection of ghost talents was carried out. Will they be lucky enough to be selected?

In the center of the square, a huge arena has been set up. When the number of ghosts on the scene increased, a burly middle-aged male ghost in noble clothes walked onto the arena. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, and exuded a powerful aura.

Seeing the noisy scene, the male ghost frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and released his power, and the scene suddenly became silent.

The male ghost nodded in satisfaction and began to say: "Everyone, I am Niu Jin, the lord of Weiyin City. This time, the arena was set up in response to the order of the empress. Ghosts are recruited from all the ghost cities in the folk. No matter whether they are men or women, they are not more than 500 years old and their cultivation is not lower than the Nascent Soul Realm. They can participate with their lives."

"As for how to be selected, there is only one condition, that is, to compete with each other on the stage to determine the top ten. These ten people will then fight with Lord You. As long as you are recognized by Lord You, you will be considered successful!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was eager to try, and many ghost cultivators began to sign up enthusiastically.

After a while, the number of applicants had reached thousands.

If there were no restrictions, it is estimated that the number of applicants could be increased by a hundred times.

Lin Jichen was indifferent in the crowd. He was not interested in signing up. He was just waiting for the so-called maid to appear and then find an opportunity to explain his intentions to her.

Soon, the ghost cultivators who signed up came on stage to compete. The arena was full of ghosts, and ghost cultivators kept losing or winning, and then other ghost cultivators came on stage.

This went on and on, and the ghosts on the scene were watching with great interest and cheering.

Only Lin Jichen felt extremely bored and almost fell asleep on the scene.

Finally, after a whole day of selection and competition, the top ten ghost cultivators were announced!

These ten ghost cultivators stood out among thousands of ghost cultivators, and they became the most promising members to be selected.

Next, as long as they accept the test of Lord You, they can go to the Hades, which is the capital in the ghost world, and join the Queen's army!

The faces of the ten ghost cultivators were full of excitement and expectation, as if they had seen a bright future opening up for themselves.

"Now, please invite Lord You to the stage!"

Niu Jin shouted in a slightly flattering tone, and then led everyone to applaud very hard.

The applause was thunderous, and everyone was looking forward to the appearance of Lord You.

Lin Jichen also opened his sleepy eyes and perked up to see what the empress's maid looked like.

Lord You was naturally the honorific title of the empress's maid.

Under everyone's eager gaze, a beautiful and charming female ghost in purple slowly came on stage.

The female ghost had light eyebrows, beautiful eyes, plump red lips, and a charming demeanor. Just this appearance made countless male ghosts at the scene's heartbeats accelerate and their eyes obsessed.

"Is this... the maidservant of the Empress?"

"Oh my god, she's so pretty!"

"I wish she was my wife, even if it means just one day, or even my life!"

"It is said that the Empress is a hundred times prettier than her maidservant. How beautiful must the Empress be? She must be a fairy, right?"

"She used to be from our city? How come I've never heard of her?"

"You are ignorant, right? She used to be from our city, and when Fu Shang, the son of the city lord Fu Shizhen, saw her, he took her home by force and wanted to marry her. Later, both Fu Shizhen and his son died."

....

The ghosts at the scene were talking endlessly, but Lin Jichen didn't care at all. He just kept his eyes on the purple on the stage.He was stunned for a long time.

He was not amazed by the purple-clothed ghost girl. Although the ghost girl was pretty, she was still a little inferior to the beauty next to him.

The reason why he was stunned was that the purple-clothed ghost girl was Xiaoqian's sister! She was also the ghost girl he rescued in this city, Youlian!

When Xiaoqian came to this city to visit her sister Youlian, she didn't expect that both girls were taken away by the father and son of the Fu family to get married.

Lin Jichen sneaked into the city to rescue Youlian, and used Fu Shang to lure out Fu Shizhen, and finally killed Fu Shizhen.

Youlian followed him and Xiaoqian to explore the ghost world until Lin Jichen rescued Elder Xinqin and left the ghost world.

Youlian wanted to ask Lin Jichen to take her as a servant several times, but Lin Jichen always refused. Disappointed, she could only leave with Xiaoqian.

Before leaving, You Lian thought that Lin Ji Chen thought that her cultivation was too low, so she promised Lin Ji Chen that she would work hard to cultivate before coming to seek refuge.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for half a year, she had become the maid of the empress, and judging from her aura, she had already reached the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit.

Lin Ji Chen was naturally happy to see an old friend. At first, he was worried whether the maid would believe him and take him to see the empress.

Now that he saw that the maid was the ghost girl he had saved, he was relieved. He believed that as long as he made his intention clear, You Lian would definitely help him.

However, Lin Ji Chen did not disturb her for the time being. There were many people here and he was wearing a mask, so it was inconvenient for him to show up. It was better to wait until the selection was over.

On the stage, You Lian looked at the ten finalists expressionlessly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She said lightly: "You can all attack together. As long as you don't fall down within an incense stick, you will pass the test."

Wow!

Everyone was shocked, even Niu Jin looked at You Lian in surprise.

They thought You Lian would test them one by one, but she boldly said that everyone should attack together?

The ten ghost cultivators looked at each other, almost thinking they had heard wrong.

Although You Lian was indeed at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, the ten of them were not bad either. The lowest one had the peak strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, and even three of them were at the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

How did she have such confidence?
