Hearing Long Kui speak ill of Chu Yang, Lin Yueru immediately became anxious and pointed at Long Kui angrily, saying, "Don't spread rumors here! Master Chu is a highly accomplished disciple of Mount Shu. How could the head of Mount Shu not know whether he is a human or a ghost?"
Longkui, dressed in red, crossed her arms and stared coldly at Lin Yueru without saying a word.
Seeing that she seemed about to get angry, Jing Tian started to coax her.
Having already entered the Ghost Realm, Chu Yang was completely unaware of the argument taking place above. He was now standing in front of the enormous gates of Fengdu City.
The city of Fengdu in the ghost realm is much larger than the city of Fengdu in the human realm. The city gates and walls are covered with traces of the erosion of time, showing a desolate atmosphere.
As the three stepped into Fengdu City, a group of ghost messengers suddenly appeared out of thin air, stopped them, and said in a cold voice, "Unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter Fengdu."
Li Xiaoyao's eyes widened. "What? I've never heard of this before!"
Chu Yang smiled, took out a stack of ghost money from his pocket, and handed it to the ghost messenger in front of him. The ghost messenger glanced down at it and accepted it with lightning speed.
Then the group of ghost messengers made way, standing in two rows on each side, ignoring Chu Yang and the others.
Li Xiaoyao was shocked again, "That's possible?!"
People are humane.
Ghosts have their own ways.
Ultimately, it all comes down to money.
After dealing with the ghost messengers blocking their way, Chu Yang led Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao into Fengdu City. It was midnight in the mortal realm, but noon in the ghost realm.
The underworld is dark and devoid of sunlight. Rows of green ghost lamps illuminate the entire ghost street, and will-o'-the-wisps occasionally fly by from the roadside, making people feel terrified.
Aside from some terrifying background elements, the residents of Fengdu City look no different from ordinary people, except that their complexions are a bit pale, and the buildings in the city are almost identical to those in the mortal world.
Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing looked around, their faces full of curiosity. A day trip to the ghost realm as living people was an experience not everyone could have.
Unbeknownst to them, Chu Yang's expression was somewhat off, as if he were secretly struggling with something.
Ever since entering Fengdu City, the [Fengdu] that had been dormant in Chu Yang's soul has become increasingly restless, and even Chu Yang himself is finding it hard to suppress its intense desire.
We need to find something to "feed" it quickly, otherwise the child will get suffocated.
Chu Yang urged Xu Changqing and the others to leave quickly and find the Fire Ghost King's Fire Ghost Palace.
The Fire Ghost Palace is located in the Lava Hell at the lowest level of the Ghost Realm, a place even Yama, the King of Hell, doesn't want to set foot in, because the temperature is too high for ghosts to withstand.
In the entire ghost realm, only the Fire Ghost King can remain there unharmed.
To reach the Lava Hell, one must first pass through the Wasteland, which is the "wilderness" of the ghost realm, where wandering souls of the mindless wander.
The moment Chu Yang stepped onto the desolate land, he no longer suppressed the desire of [Fengdu] and let it run its course.
The black ancient sword soared into the sky, and the hellish scroll on its blade came to life. Instantly, the lonely ghosts and spirits of the entire desolate land let out terrifying howls.
The cries shook the ghost realm, and the distant city of Fengdu trembled as if an earth dragon were turning over.
The Ghost Realm, the Hall of Impermanence.
King Yama, seated on his high throne, was reviewing the documents in his hands like an emperor on earth, while a document on his far left was emitting light.
The words "Book of Life and Death" were written on it.
Sudden.
A sound of weeping came from outside the Hall of Impermanence.
King Yama frowned and asked, "Who is making a commotion outside the palace?"
The judge walked in from outside the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the sound did not come from nearby, but from a much farther place."
Just as Yama was about to ask further questions, the Hall of Impermanence suddenly shook violently, and all the documents on the table fell to the ground. Only the Book of Life and Death slowly flew into the air, its light growing ever stronger.
King Yama watched this scene with a solemn expression, and only took it back after the Book of Life and Death had calmed down.
"A supreme treasure that affects the fate of the ghost realm has appeared. Judge Zhong, quickly take all the ghost messengers from the Hall of Impermanence to investigate. You must find the source. I will be there shortly."
After Yama finished speaking, he turned and walked into the depths of the Hall of Impermanence.
Upon receiving the order, Zhong Pan immediately assembled the ghost messengers and headed to the desolate land.
at the same time.
The gates of hell opened wide above the desolate land, and Fengdu greedily devoured the lonely souls and wandering ghosts of this land.
These ghosts have completely lost their minds and have no chance of reincarnation. If this continues, they will only turn into ghostly energy and disappear into the ghost realm.
This is why Chu Yang allowed Fengdu to devour the ghosts here, instead of in the Fengdu City we just visited.
Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing were stunned by the scene of ten thousand ghosts wailing. When they came to their senses, the desolate land was nothing but desolation, and not a single ghost could be seen.
Li Xiaoyao asked, his face pale, "Brother Chu, won't there be a problem with what we're doing? Won't those ghost messengers think we're enemies invading the ghost realm?"
Chu Yang thought about it carefully and nodded, saying, "That's entirely possible. Let's find the Fire Spirit Orb as soon as possible and then make our escape."
Xu Changqing said with a wry smile, "I should have listened to my junior brother and let you stay up there. Now it's questionable whether we can even leave the Ghost Realm alive."
Chu Yang gently comforted him, "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense. Our souls have entered the ghost realm. According to normal standards, we're already considered dead!"
Xu Changqing's face turned ashen, and he trembled with rage.
Li Xiaoyao was almost in tears, and shouted, "Brothers, let's go quickly! I can see people coming from the city!"
Chu Yang suddenly turned around and saw a huge, dark mass of ghost messengers rushing towards them.
"The wind is so tight!"
Chu Yang whistled towards Fengdu in the sky, and the well-fed "it" became very obedient, instantly entering Chu Yang's soul.
The three of them quickly left in the direction of the Lava Hell.
After a while.
When Zhong Pan arrived with the ghost messengers, Chu Yang and the others were already out of sight. Looking at the empty, desolate land, a chill ran through him.
Wandering ghosts have always been the most troublesome problem in the ghost realm. They are like "unregistered residents" in the mortal world, completely beyond the control of the rules, and can only be suppressed by ghost messengers.
Each raid resulted in significant manpower losses, and over time, the ghost realm allowed them to exist unchecked, leading to an ever-growing number of lonely ghosts in the desolate lands, almost becoming a disaster.
Now that everything has been wiped out, Zhong Pan should normally be happy, but he suddenly realized something.
Since that so-called treasure could easily eliminate these wandering ghosts, it must also have terrifying destructive power over these ghost messengers.
"Lord Zhong, there are three strange fellows ahead heading towards the Lava Hell. Should we give chase and investigate?"
A Yaksha ghost messenger wielding a trident stepped forward to report.
"The treasure should be in their hands. We must not let them enter the Lava Hell, and we must not let the treasure fall into the hands of the Fire Demon King, otherwise the Ghost Realm will be thrown into chaos!"
Zhong Pan's expression changed, and he immediately led his team to give chase. The mighty army of ghost messengers charged towards the Lava Hell.
the other side.
The intense heat made Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao stop in their tracks.
Li Xiaoyao complained, "How can we go in this heat? We'll be roasted alive!"
Xu Changqing's expression was solemn. "Now that we are all souls, we need to be careful. If we get injured, at the very least we will fall seriously ill when we go back, and we may even lose consciousness completely, leaving only our physical bodies alive."
Li Xiaoyao shuddered, glanced back at the pursuers, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Why don't we turn back and fight them? They're just a bunch of ghost messengers; we might not necessarily lose."
Xu Changqing shook his head and said, "Winning or losing is secondary. The most important thing is that no one can bear the crime of causing havoc in the Ghost Realm, not even Mount Shu."
Li Xiaoyao cried, "What should I do? Ling'er is waiting for me to come home!"
Chu Yang quickly covered Li Xiaoyao's mouth and said irritably, "Shut up and calm down. Don't make any rash promises, or I'll shut you up!"
Li Xiaoyao couldn't understand, but faced with the angry Chu Yang, he could only choose to keep quiet.
"Follow me!"
Chu Yang summoned the [Fengdu] and swirled it around his body. Then, a large amount of Yellow Spring water gushed out, and the lava beneath his feet extinguished, creating a path that led directly to the Fire Ghost Palace.
Chapter 149. Your humble servants respectfully welcome the Emperor's return.
149.
In the center of the Fire Ghost Palace lay a tall figure, not a beautiful woman, but a giant with three horns on his head and a ferocious appearance.
The Fire Demon King was originally a human who died from being burned by heavenly fire in ancient times. After death, he transformed into a fire demon. Because he coveted the freedom of the ghost realm, he was unwilling to be reincarnated and stayed in the ghost realm for thousands of years.
He picked his nose while yawning sleepily.
He had been living such a boring life for many years since he obtained the Fire Spirit Orb, and he was gradually starting to hate his current life.
"If all else fails, I'll give the Fire Spirit Orb to that old man Yama, and then I'll find another place to settle down. I'm tired of this Fire Ghost Palace."
Living in constant fear, guarding the Fire Spirit Orb and the Fire Ghost Palace without ever leaving its side, made the Fire Ghost King increasingly angry. He suddenly stood up, then rolled over and lay back down to continue dozing off.
I really don't want to live like this, and I really don't want to move.
As the Fire Demon King pondered how to pass the time, the temperature in the entire Fire Demon Palace suddenly dropped, causing him to shiver violently, his eyes revealing an incredulous light.
The lava hell has actually cooled down?
"Could it be that he's been alone for too long and his brain is starting to hallucinate?"
The Fire Demon King muttered to himself, and the next second he saw a yellow river surging in from afar, extinguishing a lot of lava along the way.
