In the west area of Mangshan City, in an abandoned house and an underground secret room.
The candlelight was dim and flickering.
The four or five figures were a bit illusory, and they seemed to be unreal figures. They were either sitting cross-legged in the secret room, or they were gathering together and whispering in a low voice.
"Ba Gu, how is your entry these days?"
"The number of living souls that can be devoured, the hall only gave each of us five thousand."
"Although the city lord's palace here in Mangshan City will definitely turn a blind eye to what we do, but if the number of souls we swallow exceeds this limit, this will definitely not work.
Even our soul hall can’t explain it at all.”
"Brothers, how confident are you that you can use the Devouring Soul to Break the Mirror?"
…
Among the illusory figures chatting, a man in red tentatively asked the people around him.
This woman's name is Chi Lian, and she belongs to the Soul Hall, one of the several war halls in the underworld.
Not only is she like this, but the other people under the ground are also under the command of Hun Tang.
It is also one of the top powers in the prehistoric times. There is a fundamental difference between the Underworld and the Demonic Palace of Heaven.
After all, whether it is the Demon Palace or the Heavenly Mansion, most of the members in it are from the human race.
The underworld is mainly composed of ghosts and monsters.
As one of the several war halls in the underworld, the Soul Hall, its members are basically ghosts.
It is precisely for this reason that Chi Lian and Bai Gu and others in this underground secret room have illusory figures, giving people a sense of unreality.
After all, they are not a human race to begin with, but a race of ghosts that are the remaining spirits after the death of all living beings and have undergone some kind of transformation.
"A few of us, including myself, have stayed in the realm of immortal perfection for some years, but how can it be so easy to break through to a larger realm?"
"Even if we, the ghost clan, are born with the ability to devour souls, it is only a few thousand souls. If it can increase our chance of a successful breakthrough by 15%, it is already very good."
"I really don't understand, what are those people above thinking? If they can relax their restrictions and let us devour these human souls, our chance of success in entering the Golden Immortal Realm will be at least half. In this case,
Wouldn't it be better?"
The man named Bai Gu has a slender figure and is covered in a blue gown.
Looking at his back, he seems to be a frail scholar, but if you really stand in front of him and look at his fleshless head, which is just a skull, the faintest person will probably be scared to death.
"Brother Bai Gu is right. These human races in Mangshan City were originally raised by us in the underworld. The greatest value of their existence is to provide materials for us to improve our strength."
"Thousands are devouring, and tens of thousands are devouring. We have already arrived in Mangshan City, but the superiors don't let us go free? It's just such a small amount of soul life, it's useless!"
Another person, following closely behind the bones, spoke in agreement.
Although the current human race on the prehistoric land is more than a little bit worse than the ancient human race, they are still the leader of all spirits.
For alien cultivators like Ghost, the more the better if they devour human beings to gain spirituality.
If there really were no restrictions on this from the underworld, maybe just these guys in the underground chamber, given a little more time, would be enough to devour the entire Mangshan City.
By keeping the human race in captivity in this Mangshan City and harvesting it every few years, what they are doing is nothing more than sustainable development.
Regarding the rules set by the upper levels of the underworld, the Scarlet Bones and Bones were dissatisfied, but at most they could only murmur a few times and did not dare to be unscrupulous and really violate the rules.
"I can feel that the yang energy between heaven and earth is slowly dissipating. Is this when night falls and the yin energy is about to fill the earth?"
"After spending a whole day in this underground secret room, everyone, it's time for us to have a full meal again!"
"The quantity is not enough, we can make up for it with quality. If we can really swallow a few immortal souls, the benefits to us will be far greater than swallowing dozens or hundreds of ordinary people!"
"That's right, let's go!"
…
Amidst the howls of ghosts and wolves, not only the few people chatting in low voices, but also the few guys who had been sitting cross-legged as if they were practicing, had already stood up and started to take action.
The entrance to this underground secret room had already collapsed, but this had no impact at all on Chi Lian Bai Gu and the others.
After all, as a clan of ghosts, they themselves have no physical existence.
If they want to leave the secret room and go to the ground, they don't need anything like a door at all. They turn into black mist that exists in the void. They pass directly through the ground without any hindrance.
After appearing in the abandoned courtyard above the secret room, the group of ghosts "Jie Jie" swept away in all directions with strange laughter.
…
Zhuang's Residence, among the houses Chen Hai newly bought.
After Zhang Jin left, he walked back and forth alone, walking around the entire house several times.
It turns out that there were more than twenty people living here, and there were naturally a lot of rooms in the entire house that could be used for people to live in.
The bodies of the dead bankers have already been disposed of.
As for who did it? In Chen Hai's opinion, it should have been someone sent by Zhang's Dental Shop. After all, since they had taken over full power when the house was sold, they naturally would not let the corpses of the villagers stay here.
In the house.
But this has nothing to do with Chen Hai. After all, when it comes to money, he is not sloppy and gives it very cleanly. Since the full payment has been made, the entire house is naturally his.
If the dealer's body was still left in the house without anyone taking care of it, given his temperament, he might just throw it onto the street outside.
Although the entire house looked relatively clean, there was a faint smell of blood that still permeated the yard, especially where the wing rooms were located. The smell of blood was even stronger.
Originally, Chen Hai was planning to find a random room as his retreat. Because of the bloody smell, he frowned slightly, but changed his mind.
After thinking for a while, he left the area where the wing was located and walked straight to the back garden.
Within the whole courtyard, the back garden is naturally the most secluded.
There are green trees and flowers in full bloom. A small clear pond is dotted among the green trees and flowers. Just stepping into it makes Chen Hai feel relaxed and happy.
He found a stone stool and sat down in the small pavilion near the pond.
After appreciating the beautiful scenery around him, he adjusted his mood and slowly immersed himself in cultivation.
