Chapter 677 Ji Kang
When the palace of King Qin Guang collapsed, water from rivers and seas instantly rushed in and submerged it.
In an instant, the thunder in the sky roared in anger, and all the underworlds regarded Li Muhan and Xia Yue as criminals who must be arrested.
The City God at the foot of Luofu Mountain was also dismissed from his post because of his secret dealings with a wanted criminal.
At this time, King Qin Guang stood on the Black Sea, looking at the endless black road of the underworld with the judge, and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is destiny."
The judge whispered.
"It's not destiny." King Qin Guang waved his hand. "If it were truly destiny, Li Muhan's soul would have been taken away by now, and the next step would be to refine his body. But now, not only is he intact, he has also gained new strength."
"Taoist Lu Zu has been living in seclusion in the underworld of Luofu Mountain for hundreds of years, and Xie Chengtian, the City God of Luofu Mountain, has only recently taken office. There must be other secrets hidden in this period."
Snap—Snap—
Behind me came the sound of footsteps hitting the sea.
King Qin Guang did not look back, and seemed to understand who the visitor was.
"You're late."
The judge sighed, turned around and looked at the man holding a black long sword, with disheveled hair and a turquoise light emanating from his right eye. He said, "Lord Tan Lang, it's not too late to turn back now."
The man's face was expressionless. He looked at King Qin Guang's back and said in a cold tone that didn't belong to this world, "That monster is over there."
Prince Qin Guang slowly turned around, facing the man, and said in a deep voice, "Li Chengtian, your crime is unforgivable. If you confess your crime now, your soul can still return to the six realms. You are the one destined by Ziwei Emperor himself, so you must not make the same mistake again."
Li Chengtian raised his head slightly and looked at King Qin Guang: "What's the difference? I want to kill that monster, and you also want to kill that monster. Why not give it to me?"
The judge shook his head and said, "We only want to refine his soul and give him a new life."
"That's right, this is hell, and everything they say is nonsense."
Li Chengtian sneered, then raised his hand, and the pupil that originally belonged to the Azure Dragon let out a series of dragon roars.
"What you want to do is to make him a weapon that you can control, right? What I want to do is to kill him quickly, leaving no trace of his existence in this world. In comparison, I seem to be more merciful."
"How dare you! Tan Lang! This is the underworld! Stop being so arrogant!" King Qin Guang no longer wanted to waste words with Li Chengtian. His eyes were wide open with anger, and a gloomy ghost aura emanated from his body.
"Jiang Ziwen, do you really think you can stop me?"
When calling Fanchen's name to his face, the judge already knew that this battle was inevitable.
He sighed, and raised his hand to produce the Judge's Pen.
"You have committed countless crimes here, Lord Tanlang. The recent disappearances of souls may be related to you."
Facing the judge's question, Li Chengtian just smiled disdainfully: "It's not so much about me."
Then he slowly raised his eyes, his eyes brimming with murderous intent. "It's better to say that I killed them all myself, and now, I have two more crimes to add to my list."
......
The Central Ghost Emperor governs a very important area in the underworld.
The area under its jurisdiction, "Baodui Mountain", is also the administrative center of the entire underworld.
It was governed jointly by Zhou Qi and Ji Kang.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be too much unrest here, after all, those big leaders are in charge here.
But just recently.
Strange rumors continued to come from the thirty-two counties at the foot of Baodui Mountain.
Most of the people living here are wandering souls and their families who are unable to reincarnate but have made great achievements in their lifetime. They also live here voluntarily.
There is no disturbance from wandering spirits here, and no red tape of the world. It can be said to be a paradise in another sense.
But just recently, the county at the foot of Baodui Mountain has gradually become uneasy.
"Go search over there."
A team of ghost soldiers discovered the figures of two wanted criminals while patrolling the northern streets, but they could not find any trace of them after searching.
After the ghost soldiers left, Li Muhan and Xia Yue slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Brother Xie may have calculated all this long ago, so he gave us the soul-soothing talisman and let us eat food from the underworld so that our breath can be covered by the Yin energy."
Xia Yue was sitting on a wooden box, swinging her feet, holding something in her hand and chewing on it.
"Fuck, where did you get the buns?"
Li Muhan looked back, a little surprised. Not to mention buying things along the way, he had to hide away if he met a wandering soul. Where did this girl get the food?
"I picked it up on the roadside outside the city when I sneaked into the city."
On the roadside outside the city...
Li Muhan immediately understood that the thirty-two counties under Baodui Mountain could not accommodate all the wandering souls.
In order to avoid being harassed by evil spirits, those wandering souls who had nowhere to go chose to settle in the suburbs around the thirty-two counties.
In order to appease their emotions, several city gods in the counties would regularly distribute tributes to the wandering souls who no longer had any relatives in the world of the living.
"You stole other people's tributes! It will shorten your life!"
Li Muhan quickly snatched the bun from Xia Yue's hand.
Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan angrily, then carefully took out a peach.
"More!? Take it out!"
Li Muhan was about to snatch it again, but Xia Yue defended it with all her might. During the snatch, Li Muhan suddenly discovered that there was a rag bag hidden behind Xia Yue.
Her pockets were full of other people's tributes she had picked up along the way.
"Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?!"
Li Muhan was getting anxious.
What kind of person is so wicked! Taking so much tribute from others!
"I'm hungry......!" Xia Yue grabbed her pocket and shouted righteously.
"Give it back! I'll return it to them later! We don't feel hungry at all now! It's just that you're greedy!"
"Give it back to me...I want to eat it!"
"I'll buy you something else! Give these to me first, they belong to someone else!"
The noise the two made was quite loud. This was originally a warehouse used to store goods, although no one knew what kind of goods were inside.
But now this movement has attracted some attention.
Footsteps sounded at the door, and Li Muhan suddenly covered Xia Yue's mouth.
"My lady, the tribute is indeed what keeps those starving souls alive."
A soft and gentle male voice sounded from outside the door.
Li Muhan knew that the other party was aware of his existence, so he simply walked out.
He and Xia Yue were still wearing the Taoist robes, but the originally majestic robes now looked a little worn.
He pulled Xia Yue out of the shadows.
Then he saw a man in gorgeous clothes and with an imposing manner standing in front of him.
"Sorry..." Li Muhan looked at the man warily, but still said with some guilt: "We will send all these things back."
The man smiled and said, "It's not convenient for you to move around right now. Give these things to my people first. They will be responsible for returning them to their original places. As for the two of you..."
He turned to the two and said, "Follow me back to the mansion. I will prepare some food for this young lady."
When he reached the door, the man seemed to have forgotten to introduce himself, so he turned around, clasped his fists, bowed, and said, "I am Ji Kang, the local administrator of the Central Ghost Emperor."
