"Seriously injured? How could there be such a rumor?"
"I heard that every thousand years, the six ghost kings will pay homage to the Ghost Emperor on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. However, since three thousand years ago, the six ghost kings have never seen the ghost emperor again, so this is the reason for this speculation.
.”
"That's indeed a bit suspicious."
"Really? If there is no problem, why don't you dare to show up? In the past thousand years, the six ghost kings have become more and more arrogant, and many rules have ceased to exist in name only. There is no cross-level management, no leaving the jurisdiction without authorization, no indiscriminate killing of ghosts... all of them
It has become an empty talk. The underworld seems peaceful, but in fact it is already rotten inside... However, this is hell, and the rules and so on are all lies."
The Faceless Ghost sneered, "The topic has gone too far. What else do you want to know?"
"Tell us about the new Ghost Emperor."
"You mean...the Demon Falcon Emperor?"
"Is this what you call him?" Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, everyone calls it that, because the last Ghost King was actually the Silver Emperor Demon Falcon, an ancient evil beast. Tens of thousands of years ago, he seemed to have been exiled to the underworld by humans. It took him less than a hundred years to rule.
He conquered the entire underworld. Rumor has it that he is the most powerful ghost emperor in the history of the underworld. He also killed the ghost emperor at that time in the shortest time, and defeated the other ghost kings one after another, becoming the demon king who ruled the underworld."
After hearing this, Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed with surprise.
"You said, his true body is the ancient evil beast Silver Emperor Demon Falcon? He was exiled to the underworld ten thousand years ago?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" The Faceless Ghost was puzzled.
Ling Xuewei suddenly thought that she had heard Grandpa Jiu mention it before, that the evil god, Jiang Xie, seemed to be an evil beast from ancient times.
"What happened next?"
"Later, he suddenly disappeared. At that time, he caused a great uproar in the underworld. Soon after, a new emperor came to the throne, and he is now the Ghost Emperor - Xuan Chi."
"Then do you know when he disappeared?"
"Well... about seven thousand years ago, I remember it very clearly, because I had just arrived on the sixth level at that time, and that was when the news of his disappearance came. He ruled the underworld on his own for only a short three thousand years.
It is reported that it seems to be the shortest reign in history."
More than seven thousand years ago... wasn't that the time when mankind was in the midst of a war?
At that time, the evil god came into the world and brought disaster to the human world, causing the world of gods to be devastated and filled with wars and disputes.
The time is right.
It seemed that her guess was correct. The soul beast that broke into the underworld was actually the evil god Jiang Xie.
I think the evil god at that time had not yet achieved his magical powers, so he was still in the form of a spirit beast.
Who would have thought that the evil god who makes the world fearful would have such a past.
In the past, everyone only knew that he came from the underworld, but they didn't know that the underworld was not the place where he was born, it was just a part of his past.
At that time, the battle between gods and demons was earth-shattering.
The Seven Gods exhausted their energy and dismembered him and sealed him. However, seven thousand years later, he burst out of the world again and caused trouble in the world.
After joining forces with Bai Qingshui, he single-handedly created monsters like the ghoul clan. As a result, the divine world ushered in an era of great changes - the Age of Disaster.
Ling Xuewei thought about it. Three years ago, even the Demon-Sealing Pestle could not seal him, and Ye Moyan, Grandpa Jiu and the others still could not completely eliminate him.
Thinking about it this way, I always feel that something is not quite right. Maybe they overlooked some details?
Since the evil god has stayed in the underworld for three thousand years, is it possible and what clues will be found here?
Ling Xuewei vaguely felt that she was gradually approaching a critical point.
Perhaps the answer she wants can be found here.
…
Ling Xuewei waited for a day.
It's finally time to take action.
Under the leadership of the Faceless Ghost, they bypassed the areas where ghosts often roamed, and finally arrived at the mouth of the River Styx before dark.
"This is the closest place to Nanhe. Come with me."
After the Faceless Ghost finished speaking, he took out a wooden boat from his sleeve. It was only the size of a palm, but when it was placed on the water, it immediately became larger.
A flat boat came into view.
Although it is small, it can barely accommodate one person and two ghosts.
"Go quickly, or it will be terrible if you are discovered."
One person and two ghosts immediately got on the boat. The boat quickly started and slowly left the river bank.
When the river bank was gradually out of sight, the hag asked, "How can you enter the River Styx? What is this thing? Can it resist the evil spirit of the River Styx?"
"Is this because you are ignorant? You brats have limited access to information, so naturally you don't know this." The faceless ghost was a little proud, "This is made from the 'ghost wood' on the edge of the Styx River. This ghost
The tree grows on the bank of the River Styx and uses ghost energy as nutrients to grow. It can naturally withstand the evil energy on the river and will not sink."
"I see."
"But you still have to be careful of the patrolling ferrymen. If you are discovered by them, you will not be so lucky. But don't worry, this road is the secret passage that the water ghost lady told me. Generally, few boatmen pass by. We only need to
Just be careful, stay out of the way, and you'll be fine."
The ghost woman nodded, Ling Xuewei looked around and saw fog gradually forming on the river.
"It's foggy? Great! This will help us hide!"
"How long will it take to arrive?"
"If there are no accidents, it will take about half an hour. Please stay quiet and don't make any noise. There is an area in front of the water monster. Be careful not to be targeted by them. Otherwise, once you make any noise, you will attract the big monsters at the bottom of the river."
After that, the boat became quiet.
Half an hour later, Ling Xuewei and others successfully arrived at the Nanhe area.
The reason why Ling Xuewei and others chose Nanhe as their target was because the giant monsters guarding here were not the strongest.
Of course, compared to faceless ghosts and hags, it is definitely much higher. This is just compared to the guardian beasts in the four major rivers.
The East River is the strongest, followed by the North River, then the South River and the West River.
Guarding Nanhe is a basalt turtle.
It has a turtle body and a snake body, and has probably been cultivated for more than 50,000 years. The most terrifying thing is its defensive power, which is the strongest among the four guarding beasts.
The reason why he was chosen is because it is the ghost beast with the least offensive power among the four beasts.
As mentioned before, it is focused on defense.
As long as you don't provoke it, this basalt turtle will usually not attack on its own initiative.
This characteristic also gives Ling Xuewei several conveniences. After all, they have to hunt ghost beasts that are more than eight thousand years old, so they will definitely make a lot of noise. If they attract another extremely fierce killing creature, then they will be attacked from both sides.
Looking for a dead end?
"Send the hag away first."
Ling Xuewei spoke, and the ghost woman immediately showed a grateful expression.
The Faceless Ghost snorted, "I know, bringing her along is a burden anyway."
The hag wanted to reply, but due to the fact that she was on the boat at the moment, she finally did not speak.
