The Zhihu Ghost City is made entirely of stone mines with soul crystals. It is a mixture of gray and black, making it eerie and terrifying.
However, when it is said to be a city, it is actually an area surrounded by low walls. It is not even considered a castle in the Yangshi world.
But within a radius of dozens of miles, this is the holy land that all normal ghosts dream of, because there are soul crystals in the city.
The evil ghost is a tiger. He fought with the tiger before he was alive and was seriously injured and bled to death.
Therefore, after his death, he named himself Zhihu, which means that he can control the life and death of the fierce tiger. He gathered a large group of young men, soldiers and ghosts, opened up and occupied the ghost city.
The first time he was not defeated by the coveted person, it became even more impossible later. With the nourishment of the soul crystal, Zhihu reached the peak of evil spirits, and most of his subordinates were imps and evil ghosts.
If you want to enter the ghost town, get a safe place to live, and get the soul crystal, you must work hard for Zhihu.
Most of the ghosts who are lucky enough to enter the city have difficulty persisting. There is only one job waiting for them inside, which is to work as a miner to dig up soul crystals.
But digging soul crystals is not a good job. Many miners suffered heavy casualties due to the yin energy riots in the soul crystal mines.
The ghost of the child who followed Zhou Bai narrowly escaped death. Later, he refused to go to the mine and was kicked out of the ghost town, wandering in the fog and lingering.
Zhihu relied on his own strength and a group of minions to act domineeringly and fiercely, and no one dared to stroke his beard.
However, this evil ghost Zhihu, who has a position in the entire ghost world, and the lord of a ghost city, is now being trampled under the feet of Zhou Bai.
At the top of the ghost city, a group of ghost soldiers directly blocked the passage to the city. Below were the ghost city defenders holding various swords.
They were in shock, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one dared to move.
Because on the top of the city, the city lord is being stepped on by a big ghost and lecturing him. If he impulsively kills him, he may harm the city lord.
Yes, this was the comfort they gave themselves, not because they were afraid of the big ghost's previous fierceness, but to protect the boss.
"Who are you? Why do you insult me like this? How could you know that my sword is not good for you?!" Zhihu was so angry that he refused to soften his words even if he was stepped on.
Also, the change happened so quickly that Zhihu had no time to change his mind.
Who could accept that he was happy a quarter of an hour ago, admiring his mist-free territory at the top of the city, and then became a prisoner a quarter of an hour later.
Including the child ghost, the three ghosts who joined in midway now looked confused and admired.
Just now, they were still thinking about how to break the city, but Zhou Bai led his men to charge head-on, like a reckless man charging forward, with no one able to stop him along the way.
Zhou Bai did not answer Zhi Hu's question, but continued to ask: "From now on, I am the lord of this ghost town. Do you accept it or not?"
These words are very ordinary, but Zhihu can feel the strong murderous intention, why don't you give in first?
But when Zhihu glanced at his men in the city and saw the strange looks in the eyes of the miners and wandering souls, he couldn't suppress his shame and anger, and unexpectedly said out loud: "I don't accept it!"
In fact, Zhi Hu regretted it as soon as he said it. He could only comfort himself. No matter how decisive the boss was, he still needed to appease people's hearts. He needed someone to do something, right?
However, Zhou Bai just smiled and said: "Your knife is so sharp that my knife can't cut down ghosts?!"
He actually guessed what Zhihu was thinking. He was just a temporary passerby who needed to be appeased. Even if he came to this world again in the future, his strength had grown enough to dominate this world.
The next moment, Zhihu felt a chill on his neck, and then saw his soul body dissipating, and his consciousness was completely annihilated.
As soon as Zhi Hu died, the whole city was immediately involved in a commotion. There were those who took advantage of the situation to rob the soul crystal mine, and there were also those who were diehard and wanted revenge.
"Anyone who dares to act without mercy will be killed without mercy!" Zhou Bai didn't panic at all, and a huge pressure of divine consciousness swept across the small town following his steps.
When Zhou Bai led a group of ghost soldiers around, all the enthusiastic and excited ghosts were poured cold water on them.
Ghost King, the real Ghost King, are they seeking death by resisting the Ghost King?
So when all the ghosts calmed down, Zhou Bai summoned them to express his intention. From now on, he would have the final say in the ghost town. If everyone followed his rules, everyone would be happy.
The spirit of the speech is very simple. The first is to recruit soldiers. Those with good obedience and good at group combat will be given priority, and soul crystal incense will be used as salary. The second is to recruit miners. Everyone who goes to dig will get a share. If you turn in ten pieces, you can keep one piece. It's not just a right of residence like before; the third is information rewards. Anyone who reports information about other ghost towns and soul crystal veins will be rewarded heavily.
When everything settled and the entire ghost town was back on track, it was already three days later.
[Origin Points: Sixty] (You become the lord of a ghost town and conquer the ghosts, gaining a reputation far and wide. Your Origin Points will be increased by thirty. You have discovered and possessed a large number of important world resources, such as soul crystals, and your Origin Points will be increased by ten.)
In the underground secret room of the Ghost City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Bai sat cross-legged in it, feeling quite happy inside.
As the entry explains, what makes him happy is not only the increase in origin points, but also the large number of soul crystals.
Zhou Bai picked up a piece of soul crystal and looked at it quietly. The deep black crystal was filled with the power that the soul longed for.
After investigation and testing, it was found that the power of the soul crystal is very pure and can be swallowed directly.
A piece of soul crystal is roughly equivalent to tempering the soul once with the Divine Soul Evolution Method, which usually requires him to spend a whole day and night.
And now there are more than a thousand pieces in this underground secret room, which are all Zhihu's private collection. Now if Zhou Bai refines them all, he can directly save three years of hard work.
After ordering the squad of ghost soldiers whom he had appointed as personal guards, Zhou Bai began his devouring and refining journey among the soul crystals shining with magnificent black light.
…
In Yangjia Village in Yangshi, Yang Chenglin's spiritual tablets returned to the ranks of the main clan, and also entered the main clan temple again, becoming the ancestor recognized by the entire clan.
All this was because the anti-Wang Yang Zhen front line was defeated and he couldn't care about this side at all.
As for turning defeat into victory and final reckoning, they are fully prepared.
Under Zhou Bai's instructions, the Yang clan used money to pave the way and hooked up with a civil servant of the imperial court to provide assistance to the DPRK.
At the same time, at the local level, Yang Qing sneaked into the area controlled by the imperial court, and as the head of the Yang family, he met with the rebel general and offered strategies to quell the traitors.
The city was surrounded, its grain routes were cut off, and envoys were dispatched to the three counties to convey letters and appoint officials, calling on the local powerful to resist Yang Zhen's rule.
With people's hearts so shaken, the rebels can be pacified soon, and the vitality of the imperial army can be preserved. Moreover, he, Yang Qing, is willing to persuade the major families for the imperial court.
How could the Generalissimo not be moved? The Yang clan was the clan that rebelled against King Yang Zhen. Now even they have revolted. How can other clans still not see the situation clearly?
Anyway, it's just some blank reports. If it can work wonders, the date of counterinsurgency will be greatly shortened.
Yang Zhen was not the only one who started the war. It was only because he took the initiative to claim the throne that the imperial court came with a large army.
If there is no success in countering the rebellion, or even if there is only a slight stalemate, there will be no one in the world who will be able to claim the title of king or emperor...
