At this moment, the situation changed drastically, as if heaven and earth were turned upside down.
Outside the courtyard, it was pitch black like ink, as if night had suddenly fallen. The townspeople didnât even have time to light their oil lamps before they found themselves in darkness, with only a faint light allowing them to barely see their surroundings.
People on the streets and busy farmers were startled by this sudden change. After adjusting for a moment, discussions broke out.
âWhatâs going on?â
âHow did it get dark so quickly? Is it going to rain?â
âIt doesnât seem like it. Even if thereâs wind and rain, it shouldnât turn dark in an instant, right?â
Farmers and passersby on the street discussed the weather change, with some hurrying home to bring in their laundry.
A monk begging for alms on the street could be seen bowing respectfully to the dark clouds pressing down on the town, saying, âNamo Amitabha Buddha!â
Then he continued preaching.
The common people remained ignorant, unaware of the great events about to unfold.
More people stood on the streets looking around, eager to find out what was happening.
Until an elderly grandmother in the marketplace, looking at the changing sky, shouted, âYou all better hide! Soon, great ghosts will come, and this place will change!â
At first, her words didnât attract much attention from the neighbors.
Even her daughter-in-law didnât believe her, saying, âMother-in-law, donât joke around. Itâs just getting dark for rain.â
Other women holding wooden basins nodded in agreement. After all, most people had never seen a so-called ghost in their lives, and even if there were ghosts, they wouldnât come out in broad daylight.
But in the next moment.
âMonster!â
âRun!â
âHelp! Hel⌠ughâŚâ
Screams erupted from the farthest corner of the town, the sound coming closer and closer.
Then, like a small pebble thrown into water creating ripples, the screams began to spread.
More and more people fled in panic. Men and women, young and old, no one dared to stop. Many children fell to the ground with no one to help them up, and they could only cry loudly.
Because, at some point,
A ghost-like creature with over a dozen heads slowly approached. It was bare-chested, with human faces all over its body. Several arms could be seen protruding from its belly, constantly struggling.
But they couldnât escape the monsterâs body, firmly locked inside.
When these arms grabbed a living person, more arms would frantically rush towards the victim, engulfing them.
Finally, the living person would be swallowed into the monsterâs stomach, and moments later, the face of the person who had just been devoured would appear on the surface of its belly.
The appearance of this ghost monster was extremely terrifying and hideous. It took large strides, constantly devouring the common people.
Those who witnessed this scene were so frightened that they lost control of their bowels and bladders. Those who couldnât run became food for the monster.
After the monster was full, it began to split on the spot, becoming two ghost monsters, continuing to devour the surrounding people frantically.
Now the townspeople were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, at risk of becoming part of the ghost monster at any moment.
When Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue arrived on the rooftop, overlooking everything happening in the town, both frowned slightly.
Luo Sheng stared at the man-eating multi-headed ghost and asked, âIs this a subordinate of the Ghost King of Fengdu?â
Bai Moxue shook her head slightly and denied, âThis is not a subordinate of the Ghost King. This is a ghost from the ghost realm, called a Man-Eating Evil Ghost.â
Just as the two were about to take action,
Suddenly, Soldier A and Soldier B hurriedly arrived. Seeing Bai Moxue, they panted and said:Find the original chapter at nĐžvelping.com.
âSomething terrible has happened! Miss Bai, for some unknown reason, the ghosts from deep within the underworld have all escaped. Many have already invaded the mortal realm. Now that the sky has changed, itâs likely all hell will break loose!â
Bai Moxue frowned deeply.
Seeing her lost in thought, Luo Sheng instinctively asked, âIs the situation very serious?â
âYes, extremely serious,â Bai Moxue explained to him: âI learned from that book of divine spells that Mount Tai, where the underworld is located, suppresses a huge ghost realm.
There are three realms in the world, but unknown to many, there is a realm hidden beneath the three realms, which is the unfamiliar ghost realm. Because of the suppression by the underworld, itâs also called the Demon Sealing Tower. All the most evil and wicked things in the world live there.
In the past, if not for the strong power of the underworld, which could suppress everything, it wouldnât dare to cross boundaries easily. Now, without the underworld, Iâm afraid the ghosts inside have all escaped, and the human world will never know peace again!â
Luo Sheng roughly understood.
The loss of control in the underworld caused these things to escape, resulting in tragedy in the human world.
Itâs estimated that a large number of people in the mortal world will die because of this, many cities will be destroyed, and even dynasties will cease to exist.
After all, these evil ghosts are definitely not just these two.
After Bai Moxue finished explaining, she looked at Soldier A and Soldier B, âYouâve lived for many years, do you know what happened in the underworld?â
Soldier A and Soldier B immediately shook their heads, âWe donât know either. Perhaps only the former city lord of Fengdu Ghost City, Lord Wang, would know.â
âThen where is Lord Wang?â
âWe donât know. We small ghosts only know that more than 20 years ago, the Golden Ghost King took over the position of Fengdu Ghost City and became the new lord,â Soldier B continued to explain.
Both Bai Moxue and Luo Sheng felt there was a problem.
There were too many mysteries in this world, layer upon layer.
First, the imbalance of the underworld, the loss of control in the netherworld, a large number of demons and ghosts coming out to hunt cultivators, and even the City God Templeâs deities mysteriously disappearing.
Now, without the suppression of the underworld, evil ghosts have all escaped.
And now comes the mystery of the former lord of Fengdu Ghost Cityâs strange disappearance. Itâs really like a piglet wearing a bra, one thing after another.
It gives people the feeling that the world is about to end.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Moxue continued to ask, âWhat actions has the Golden Ghost taken now?â
Soldier A replied, âApart from closing the doors and defending himself, Lord Golden Ghost seems to be angry about the death of the Ox-Head General. He might send someone to kill you, Miss Bai!â
Soldier B also agreed, âMiss Bai, youâd better run away quickly. Apart from the Ox-Head General, the Ghost Kingâs other generals are not weak either.â
Bai Moxue just smiled lightly and said confidently, âWhy should I run away?â
Luo Sheng beside her also nodded.
Now Bai Moxue was different from before. By depriving essence to strengthen herself, especially since Bai Moxue possessed the servant general â Phantom Knight,
As well as better defensive auxiliary magical treasures like ăCelestial Silk Robeă, her combat power level had actually reached the silver level.
As long as the Ghost King doesnât personally take action, no matter how many of his subordinates come, they will all die.
Luo Sheng then said, âLetâs eliminate them first, otherwise the townspeople will be devoured by these monsters.â
âMm!â
Bai Moxue nodded lightly, with an obedient expression.
Then she suddenly disappeared in front of Soldier A and Soldier B, reappearing on a distant bell tower.
âŚYou are reading on novâelping.com, the official source.
At this moment.
âSon, save your mother quickly!â
That Mrs. Li fell to the ground, watching the Man-Eating Evil Ghost slowly approach.
Especially as this Man-Eating Evil Ghost was like a centipede, with a large number of arms constantly moving on its body, which frightened Mrs. Li even more.
She begged her son, who was both a salt merchant and had an official position.
But her child was too frightened to come forward, âMother, Iâm sorry, I will definitely burn a lot of paper money for you on this day next year, rest assured!â
He said so heartlessly, constantly moving away, afraid of being devoured by the Man-Eating Evil Ghost.
âYou bastard! I raised you for so long, and now you watch your mother being eaten by a monster with your own eyes!â
Just as she was heartbroken,
Suddenly, a bronze-colored pair of scissors hit the Man-Eating Evil Ghost heavily, cutting through from the other side, taking away a piece of black blood, forcing it to stop.
When she looked up, Luo Sheng and Bai Moxue had appeared on a rooftop at some point.
This pair of scissors was thrown by Luo Sheng. Since he had been promoted to Bronze 9-star, his physical functions had been greatly improved, and his strength had increased by more than 9 times.
He could casually throw with the impact force of a handgun.
âHey! Darling, how could you throw my scissors!â
Seeing him throw her beloved scissors, Bai Moxue complained coyly, puffing up her cheeks.
âIt was an emergency,â Luo Sheng said somewhat guiltily.
He secretly used ăDongfang Muqingă skill Azure Feather Wood Shift to collect all her treasured scissors, pretending to use them as disposable weapons and lose them.
Of course, this also included those embroidery needles.
Luo Sheng was afraid of being pricked with needles in the future.
However, Bai Moxue suddenly narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and said, âAre you scared? Darling, being guilty is not good, you know.â
âUh⌠Look, the Man-Eating Evil Ghost is coming!â Luo Sheng changed the subject.
Originally, Bai Moxue still wanted to blame him properly.
But she saw Mrs. Li scurrying over, constantly saying, âThank you, Miss Bai, and thank you to your husband!â
âYouâre welcome, Mrs. Li. Youâve taken care of me quite a lot in the past,â Bai Moxue said with a smile on her face, politely.
Luo Sheng didnât give her a good face though, just saying, âGet lost!â
âAlright, alright, this little wife wonât bother the husband anymore.â
Mrs. Li bowed slightly and fled, crawling away.
She came to her sonâs side and started scolding, âYou unfilial child, I raised you for so long, and now youâre not even as good as an outsider. Itâs really infuriating!â
And she slapped him hard on the face.
The sound was quite loud, enough to show Mrs. Liâs level of anger.
After all, in a life-and-death situation, her son actually abandoned her and only cared about escaping himself, even hoping she would be a roadblock, slightly delaying the Man-Eating Evil Ghostâs advance.
âTsk, such a loving mother and filial son.â
Luo Sheng sighed, shook his head, and no longer paid attention to these irrelevant characters.
Instead, he and Bai Moxue stared at the two huge Man-Eating Evil Ghosts in front of them, their eyes meeting, with a great battle about to begin.
