Yang Tianzhi, the president of the City Guild, came to Yanyang City as scheduled and met with Xiao Yang in the reception room of the city lord's mansion.
This was not the first time that the two met, so they saved a lot of politeness and became very familiar with each other.
"It has only been less than a month since we last met, and Alliance Leader Xiao has already destroyed the Golden Federation. It is so fast that one has to admire it!"
Yang Tianzhi sat opposite Henry Zhang, talking and laughing like an old friend.
"President Yang, thank you. This time we take over the Golden Federation. Thanks to the materials sent by your city guild, our Sun Federation can become stronger!" Xiao Yang also said with a faint smile.
"These supplies are just a small thank you gift, not worth mentioning."
Yang Tianzhi waved his hand and said: "If you hadn't eliminated the harm for the people this time, Alliance Leader Xiao, I'm afraid that Zhang Yupeng would have only caused more disasters for the people!"
"Zhang Yupeng did not hesitate to sacrifice the people of the city in order to improve his cultivation. It has reached the point where humans and gods are angry, and everyone will kill him!" Xiao Yang shook his head and said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Yang Tianzhi also calmed down and asked solemnly:
"Leader Xiao, I heard that Zhang Yupeng turned into a huge ghost after he sacrificed the entire city. Is this true?"
"Um."
Henry Zhang nodded and said: "It's absolutely true!"
"How did he become a ghost?" Yang Tianzhi asked eagerly.
In Yang Tianzhi's understanding, even if the entire city is sacrificed, a living person cannot become a ghost.
If you want to turn into a ghost, you must go through other special channels.
Xiao Yang replied in a deep voice: "Zhang Yupeng took out a pill at that time."
"Elixir?" Yang Tianzhi was slightly startled.
"That's right."
Henry Zhang nodded, then recalled the contents of the book of life and death at that time, and said: "If I remember correctly, the elixir is called [Weeping Blood Yin Jue Dan], which can greatly increase the cultivation level of the person who takes it.
, and become an invulnerable ghost!"
"However, this elixir requires the blood of living people to be effective, so Zhang Yupeng sacrificed the entire city as a tonic for his own cultivation."
Snapped!
"Made, this scumbag!"
Even Yang Tianzhi, who was well-educated, couldn't help but slap the table and curse angrily at this moment.
Immediately, he said with a solemn expression: "Since Zhang Yupeng can take out this elixir, it means that someone gave it to him. In other words, even if the Golden Federation is destroyed now, the person who gave the elixir is very likely to be still alive.
!”
Henry Zhang was silent for a moment and said slowly: "President Yang, do you still remember that in the secret report I showed you before, it was recorded that Zhang Yupeng takes away a large number of boys and girls every year to secretly carry out some kind of sacrificial activities?"
"Yeah." Yang Tianzhi nodded.
"Before Zhang Yupeng died, I learned that the boys and girls he took away every year were sacrificed to a ghost king, and the [Weeping Blood Yin Jue Dan] he took was also
That ghost king gave it to him!" Henry Zhang said with an increasingly cold tone.
"Ghost King?!"
Yang Tianzhi was stunned for a moment.
It was as if he had heard something extraordinary, and his eyes were full of shock.
Seeing this, Henry Zhang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked: "Does President Yang know about this ghost king?"
After a long time, Yang Tianzhi came back to his senses, turned to Henry Zhang, smiled slightly and said:
"Leader Xiao, you can choose to believe what I am going to say next, or you can choose not to believe it, because it is really shocking."
"President Yang, please speak." Henry Zhang raised his hand and nodded.
After Yang Tianzhi exhaled, he slowly said: "There has always been an ancient legend in the ancient books of the city guild..."
"That is, every time during the Ghost Festival, the barrier between the ghost world and the Xuanwu Continent becomes weaker, which leads to the arrival of a large number of ghosts, killing creatures and causing harm to the world."
"These ghosts are extremely powerful. Even us human practitioners are no match for them."
"Some people even turn swords on their own kind after being possessed by ghosts."
"That period can be said to be the gloomiest days for mankind. It was not until a group of gods appeared and drove away the ghosts that mankind finally took a breather."
Hear this.
Henry Zhang couldn't help but his eyes flickered, and he asked aloud: "Wait a minute! President Yang, did you just say that it was the gods that drove away the ghosts?"
Yang Tianzhi nodded, and looked at Henry Zhang with a meaningful look and said: "And those gods claim to be from a place called Netherworld."
Damn it!
Netherworld?!
Henry Zhang was also shocked inside.
Ever since he became the master of the underworld, he has been very curious as to why the top ten handsome men in the underworld turned into statues.
Through Yang Tianzhi's words, Xiao Yang could almost guess that the appearance of Netherworld Underworld may be related to ghosts, and even the disappearance of Netherworld is inseparable from ghosts.
But after thinking about it, Henry Zhang still asked with some uncertainty: "President Yang, where did these gods go in the end?"
Yang Tianzhi shook his head and said: "I don't know either. I only know that after the war, all the gods disappeared together with the ghosts."
"so……"
Henry Zhang also took a deep look at Yang Tianzhi and asked: "Does President Yang believe these legends?"
Yang Tianzhi said noncommittally: "Actually, for me at first, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, because the legendary era is so far away from us that many things cannot be verified, and it is impossible to say whether they are true or false."
When he said this, he paused and suddenly changed the topic: "However, after hearing Alliance Leader Xiao talk about the ghost king today, I suddenly had a premonition... I'm afraid the ghost will come again!"
"What?!"
Henry Zhang couldn't help but be a little shocked.
Yang Tianzhi pondered for a moment and said:
"Mr. Xiao, do you know that ghosts are also divided into levels? They are - little ghost, big ghost, ghost general, ghost king, ghost king, ghost emperor, ghost emperor."
"I have been alive for more than a hundred years and have surrounded and suppressed thousands of ghosts, large and small, but none of them have exceeded the level of ghost general."
"This is because, on the Xuanwu Continent, there is a limit to how a human soul can turn into a ghost, and it is impossible to grow infinitely."
"The first is that human souls are inherently too weak, and the second is that ordinary ghosts have been discovered and eliminated before they have grown up."
"But now there is actually a ghost king in Xuanwu Continent. This can only mean that this ghost king comes from the ghost world!"
Yang Tianzhi's face became more solemn, his fists tightened, and he continued: "Since a ghost king has descended on the ghost world, there will definitely be another one. Over time, Xuanwu Continent will be destroyed again just like it was in ancient times.
