At this time, in the huge building at the top of Liugan Peak, a big-headed ghost that looked like a steward knocked on a door with a smile.
"Come in!"
Suddenly, a dull sound came from inside the house, and the power contained in it made the doors and windows buzz.
The big-headed ghost immediately pushed open the door and entered. First, he glanced around at the monks' bones that were scattered in the room and piled up into several hills. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes. Then he rubbed his palms and looked at the huge bone chair lying on it. The king of Ji Si smiled flatteringly and said:
"Lord Ghost King, are you satisfied with today's offerings?"
"Not bad. It's fat and thin. It's much better than yesterday."
King Ji Si held a thigh bone and picked his teeth, nodded and said something. Then he turned his attention to the big-headed ghost and said in a deep voice:
"How are you doing there? Did you find what I need?"
"Sir, although I have not found any comrades selling Jiuyin Cold Iron, I have heard some rumors that such spiritual objects have appeared in Pianfei Peak. Look,"
The big-headed ghost couldn't help but hesitate a little at the end.
"Haha, we have just eaten a few hundred of you human monks and are you so anxious to drive me away? You big-headed ghosts really deserve the name of being stingy!"
King Ji Si laughed loudly when he heard this and taunted him.
"Having been eating and drinking for free for so many days, but not making a single transaction, and calling me stingy, this Ji Si King is too shameless!"
Although the big-headed ghost was cursing King Ji Si in his heart at this moment, he did not dare to show it on his face and could only smile awkwardly.
"Anyway, it's better than getting nothing from the first two peaks. As long as your news is true, I will never treat you badly when the time comes.
But if you let me go all the way in vain... Haha, you know the consequences! "
After threatening the big-headed ghost with a sinister smile, King Ji Si stood up from the bone chair and prepared to leave.
"The villain dare not!"
The big-headed ghost immediately cried out in his heart when he heard this. He only heard the news from his subordinates. How could he be sure that there was Jiuyin Hantie on Pianfei Peak?
And he also knew that if the Jisi King wanted to kill him, the Big-headed Ghost Country behind him would not be able to protect him at all.
Because the other party is a member of the Ten Kings of the Underworld, this force is the largest mercenary organization in the underworld. It is so powerful that it can not only interfere with the outcome of the ghost kingdom war, but can even attack other underworlds on its own.
Therefore, even if he has contributed to the ghost country for many years, he will definitely be abandoned by then!
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have told this news. Anyway, if he stays here for two more days, he will leave on his own!"
The big-headed ghost immediately regretted it and secretly cursed himself for not being able to hold it back!
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait!"
"What? King Purple Heart, did you discover something?"
King Jisi was not surprised at all when he heard this, and immediately turned around and asked.
At this time, the Purple Heart King had appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his jade hand, a phantom appeared in the house.
This phantom showed two ghost cultivators, a man and a woman. From the looks of it, they were wandering around the ghost market, unaware of the Purple Heart King's prying eyes.
"Huh? I haven't seen a human race that practices ghost-eating for many years!"
The King of Jisi was careless and attentive, and he could spot Sikong Ying's whereabouts at a glance.
"This girl is just a virtual cultivator. What qualifications do you have for me to stop you specifically? Look at the ghost cultivator next to her."
The Purple Heart King secretly cursed an idiot and immediately said in a solemn tone.
"Isn't he just a junior in the late stage of integration? What's so special about him?"
King Ji Si looked puzzled at this moment.
"You also know that she has the cultivation level of the late-stage integration, but how could you not notice the strangeness of the woman next to you?!"
The Purple Heart King was completely speechless and said directly.
"That being said, it is indeed very strange. Your spiritual consciousness is far better than mine. Have you detected anything?"
The Jisi King then showed a look of surprise and then asked.
"There must be something wrong with this person, but I didn't sense any abnormal aura. His consciousness is probably not weaker than mine!"
The Purple Heart King frowned and said seriously.
"That's not what you want. Only such an existence can make you go further!"
King Jisi immediately understood what King Zixin meant, and the other party had found his prey.
"I'm not sure yet. Go and test it for me. Once it's done, I'll find the Nine Yin Cold Iron for you!"
The Purple Heart King shook her head and said that she had been disappointed many times before, so she was still just doubtful now.
"With you taking action, Jiuyin Hantie will be infallible. I'll go meet him right now!"
King Ji Si was delighted when he heard this and accepted the matter without any hesitation.
But before he could move, the incarnation of the Ghost King in the phantom suddenly raised his hand, and then a powerful aura enveloped Wu Zang Mountain!
King Ji Si: "How brave!"
Purple Heart King: "Where did this stupid green guy come from!"
Big-headed ghost: "Come here, send me a message to the ghost country!"
Half an hour ago, Luo Hong hid in the ghost king's incarnation body and took Sikong Ying directly to Liugan Peak in the center of Wuzang Mountain.
Although he was ready to take action, the opportunity was rare after all, so Luo Hong did not land on the spot to take action. Instead, he chose to walk all the way up from the foot of the mountain so that he could have a better experience.
Needless to say, with all the ghosts gathered together, there was a lot of gloom.
What you see are stalls made of broken wood and bones, scattered on both sides of the mountain road.
Ghosts are also divided into strong and weak ones. Those who set up stalls at the foot of the mountain are naturally the lowest-level imps.
The things they sell are also similar. Except for a few dark and dark spiritual objects with Yin attributes, they are all kinds of divided flesh and blood.
Not all of them are human beings, there are also many victims of alien races, all of them are of all kinds!
Compared with laymen who chop and hang the corpses directly on hooks after slaughtering them, the truly professional meat sellers will first completely peel off the skin, then separate the bones and flesh, and stack them neatly.
As for the blood, they collected it into a jar, and then sprinkled some foul-smelling stuff into it that looked like black mud.
This kind of stall is the most popular. Every time someone prepares a dish, there will be ghosts wearing tattered human skins rushing up to grab the fresh human skins.
The muscles and bones would also be snatched away by the evil spirits waiting on the side, but the blood jar was sealed and piled together with other jars behind the stall, and it was unknown what purpose it had.
And the ways these little ghosts paid were also different. Some took out a ball of filth directly from the ghost body, some handed over a spiritual object with thin yin energy, and even more threw out a bunch of filth. Each round coin is made of white wood chips, with the word "big head" written on one side and a ferocious face engraved on the other side.
Although the scene in front of him made Luo Hong feel a little uncomfortable, after looking around, he couldn't help but ask Sikong Ying curiously.
"There is a mortal town not far from the mountain. Why do these brats buy blood food here?"
"Master Tianzun doesn't know that the ghosts in the underworld are not allowed to eat people at will, especially these little ghosts who have no quota at all.
If you catch someone to eat without permission, you will definitely be severely punished. Those with lighter crimes will be executed directly, while those with more serious crimes will be made into ghost servants!
If a kid wants to eat people and practice cultivation, he has no choice but to pay for them. "
Sikong Ying was no longer surprised by the surrounding scene, so he calmly explained via voice transmission.
Good guy, no matter you are a human being or a ghost, it is not easy at the bottom!
However, sighs are sighs, Luo Hong will not confuse his position, and he will definitely not hesitate to take action later.
After walking through the foot of the mountain, the two came to the mountainside where only ghosts above Nascent Soul could set foot.
Compared to the foot of the mountain, the shops and stalls here are more like a market for immortal cultivators, and they suddenly lose a lot of gloominess.
But with a quick glance at Luo Hong's spiritual eyes, he could easily see that these were all illusions, and the surrounding environment was actually still the same dilapidated state.
The better thing is that the ghost market on the mountainside is no longer the slaughterhouse at the foot of the mountain. There is no blood food for sale here.
Luo Hong was not surprised by this, because the cultivation of ghosts also underwent a qualitative change starting from the transformation of gods, and ordinary Yin Qi would no longer be important.
Therefore, for Nascent Soul ghosts, ordinary blood food is of only slight use.
Ghosts above the level of gods can only satisfy their appetite by eating humans.
But if these blood foods are cultivated, it will be very different!
Looking at the foreign monks who were imprisoned on the stage, waiting to bid on the ghosts below, Luo Hong felt that they were no different from cattle and sheep.
"There are far fewer humans here."
After walking around for a while, Luo Hong only saw a few human monks here and there, and they were all priced at a high price, so there was no interest for the time being.
"Does Lord Tianzun know the reason?"
Sikong Ying rolled his eyes and actually took the initiative to send a message to whet Luo Hong's appetite.
"Haha, I am not an idiot who only knows how to practice. The reason why human monks are so rare here cannot escape the words 'supply exceeds demand'!"
After lightly laughing, Luo Hong expressed his judgment.
From the little ghost at the foot of the mountain, it can be seen that the ghosts in the underworld have been working hard to maintain the number of humans, but mortals are too fragile, and the underworld is really not suitable for survival.
Therefore, no matter how hard those high-level ghosts try, there cannot be too many mortals in the underworld.
As a result, the number of human monks will of course be very limited. Coupled with the large number of high-level ghosts, it is inevitable that supply will exceed demand!
From the perspective of these foreign monks from all walks of life, the greatest significance of this once-in-a-generation ghost market to ghosts in the underworld is that they can obtain blood food from monks from the outside world!
"Tianzun Mingjian, this is indeed the main reason.
But there is another secondary reason, that is, these ghosts really like the smell of human monks like me.
Even the Ghost King of Underworld will eat some Qi Refining monks when he gets interested. "
Sikong Ying immediately revealed the cruel truth without blinking an eye.
Luo Hong's chest suddenly felt tight when he heard this, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of depression that he couldn't let out.
"Hmph! Don't provoke me, little friend. I have no intention of getting along harmoniously with the underworld ghosts.
If you don’t know about it this time, I’ll forgive you.
If you dare to have evil thoughts again, please stay in this world for me! "
It is human nature to hurt others. It is understandable but unforgivable for Sikong Ying to want to use his power to take revenge on the underworld ghost Luo Hong.
The Huangquan people are in a miserable situation because they were born in the wrong world.
Moreover, the existence of the Yin Realm is undoubtedly beneficial to the Yang Realm, so even if the human race knows this, they will not make any changes.
Otherwise, the Yin-Yang Avenue will be disrupted, and there may even be a catastrophe endangering all interfaces!
But even though he thought about it secretly in his heart, the depression in Luo Hong's chest did not dissipate.
"Forget it, I've seen everything I need to see, so there's no need to waste any more time."
Luo Hong suddenly lost interest in seeing the ghost market, and with a thought in mind, he walked towards the flat land not far ahead.
Such a flat ground was naturally made by ghosts, and a cauldron with a diameter of fifty or sixty feet was being placed here.
A jar of blood that Luo Hong had seen before was continuously transported here, then unsealed, and poured into the cauldron by the ghosts working here.
"This fellow Taoist should stop, the liver-liquid blood soup won't be ready until tonight.
Before that, I would like to ask fellow Taoists not to get close to this place, lest we activate firepower later and injure fellow Taoists. "
At this time, a green-faced old ghost floated up and stopped Luo Hong and the two of them, and said with a kind face.
"Liver blood soup?"
Luo Hong frowned when he heard this. How many hearts would it take to fill such a big pot?
"Yes, this soup is smooth and sweet thanks to the special spices from Liugan Peak. It's also not expensive. A bowl only costs ten bucks. Taoist friends, you must try it when you arrive!"
The green-faced old ghost thought Luo Hong was from the outside world, but he introduced her enthusiastically.
"Hmph! You really know how to eat, but I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future!"
After hearing this, Luo Hong finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the ghost king's incarnation body with a thought.
The green-faced old ghost couldn't have imagined that he wanted to do Luo Hong's business, but Luo Hong wanted the lives of all of them!
Before he could react, Luo Hong suddenly activated the Underworld Ghost Hand, condensing a sky-holding ghost hand, which covered the entire Wu Zang Mountain in one go, and then pressed it down hard!
Those ghosts that were eating people with real pleasure felt a huge force on their bodies in an instant, and then they were pressed to the ground, but they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
There are only five to six hundred ghosts with cultivation levels above Lianxu. They can still resist one or two at the top of the peak, but they can't set up the escape light. They can only watch the sky-holding ghost hands getting closer and closer.
Just when all the ghosts were in despair, a loud shout suddenly came from the top of Liugan Peak:
"Where did you fellow Taoist from the Yang Realm come from? How dare you act so arrogantly in our Huangquan Realm? Stop it immediately. I can leave you a whole body!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a massive amount of Yin Qi surged towards the place where Luo Hong was.
This is obviously the opponent's method, trying to suppress his magical power with Yin Qi!
But when Luo Hong saw this, he laughed loudly and said with extreme arrogance:
"Haha, Luo said this place is the underworld, and this place is the underworld!"
The next moment, along with a cry, a golden light flew out from Luo Hong's waist, came to the sky above Liugan Peak, and turned into a golden sun.
Immediately, the surging power of Zhi Yang poured down, instantly turning Wu Zang Mountain into a Yang Realm even more than the Yang Realm!
"court death!"
The owner of the voice immediately became furious, turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Luo Hong!
