"Once the Meng Po soup is diluted further, even we won't be able to stop craving it! We'll become half-human, half-ghost, and life will be meaningless! Originally, we gave up hope and just wanted to collect more Meng Po soup, hoping to alleviate the pain a little bit. But your appearance, Mr. Jiang, has rekindled our hope! According to our observations, the main reason for this Meng Po soup addiction is that it's not properly matched. As long as it is perfectly matched with the cultivation level, it can be successfully solved!"
"You also know that we can't say anything in front of Meng Po! Once we open our mouths, Meng Po will regard it as a violation, and the Soul-Shaking Bell will come directly! Therefore, we can only ask Mr. Jiang to come forward and beg Meng Po! Help us get rid of it!" Scar Qin Shuang, the last of the four masters, said anxiously.
This time he was the worst off. He was knocked unconscious before he even got the Meng Po soup. Therefore, he was most afraid of the Meng Po soup addiction coming on!
These four masters had obviously discussed it privately using telepathy, and now they all had the same idea.
"It does sound tragic, but you've got the wrong person. You've seen it too, Meng Po doesn't recognize me at all and wants to kill me!"
"I have no say in front of Meng Po. But my head might make Meng Po happy. Why don't you choose to kill me?" Jiang Fan glanced at the four people and asked lightly.
"It's useless. Meng Po has no emotions. No matter how well we behave, she won't give us any rewards."
"To be honest, Mr. Jiang, we've been thinking about flattering Meng Po for a long time. But every time it was in vain, we were hit by several Soul-Shaking Bells in vain."
"Only those little rascals who have never really come into contact with Meng Po would think that they can exchange your head for a reward from Meng Po. People like us who are experienced know that by then, Meng Po might judge that you have violated the rules and fire a few soul-shaking bells at you!" said the scholar Mr. Meng very experiencedly.
In particular, they also saw that Meng Po's successor had no intention of killing Jiang Fan and even threatened suicide! She was simply being manipulated by the real Meng Po!
If they dare to exchange Jiang Fan's head for the prize, there is a high probability that they will run into the gun of Meng Po's heir and be killed by her to vent her anger!
By then, no one will be able to protect them!
So, after much deliberation, they decided to save Jiang Fan once and cooperate with him!
"Even so, it's useless for you to look for me! I have no way to wake up my mother..." Jiang Fan sighed.
He thought it would be difficult to restore his mother's memory, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult!
Just when there was a glimmer of hope for Jiang Fan to wake up, the real Meng Po suddenly appeared and suppressed all of Jiang Fan's sparks!
He also easily erased Jiang Fan's only photo, leaving Jiang Fan at a loss as to what to do!
"That's because Meng Po has forgotten her past! That's why she's so cold to you, Mr. Jiang. But it doesn't matter, we have a way to make Meng Po remember the past!"
"What method?" Jiang Fan did not easily believe what these people said, but still couldn't help asking.
"Mr. Jiang, have you ever thought about this? The original Meng Po gave her position to your mother, so where did she go?!" asked the scholar Meng Ye.
Then, before Jiang Fan could answer, he continued, "You should know that the inheritance of this Meng Po is different from that of the other ghosts and gods! Although I have been staying on the seventeenth floor, I still have some understanding of the ghost and god inheritors on the floors above. They all inherited weapons and other things left behind by ghosts and gods that have long been annihilated. For example, the so-called Four Heavenly Kings and the Four Judges."
"But our ghost deity Meng Po is different! Over twenty years ago, I saw her with my own eyes! Not only me, but many people have seen her with their own eyes! She, like the Ghost King of the sixteenth floor, luckily survived!"
"No one knows how she survived, but she is alive. And I think, in this disaster where the entire underworld collapsed, even if she survived, she must have been seriously injured! Only a remnant of soul remains!"
"Therefore, she left the Mengpo inheritance to your mother. It's very likely because this position bound her and prevented her from healing properly. So she needed a successor to help her unload the burden, so that she could regain her freedom and go wherever she wanted to heal!"
"However, there is no way out of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, so she definitely hasn't left here."
"Unfortunately, we searched every corner of the seventeenth floor, but couldn't find any trace of her..."
"What about the obsidian mining area? Have you been there?" Jiang Fan asked.
The obsidian pillars connect the entire Eighteen Layers of Hell, so there is an obsidian mining area on each layer.
"The obsidian mine? We haven't been there. But it's strictly guarded by the jailers. If the ghost Meng Po was there, she would be discovered by the jailers, right? The bigwigs in the human world are also very interested in ghosts and gods. It is said that they have been trying to capture one and bring him back to the human world for research!"
"It's just that the Ghost King on the sixteenth floor is too powerful, so they gave up this plan. But Meng Po should be weaker than the Ghost King. If she were in the obsidian mine, she would be easily besieged by the jailers, right?" The scholar Meng Ye obviously came from an extraordinary family and knew some secrets well. Hearing this, he asked Jiang Fan in return.
"There's a saying that goes, 'It's darkest under the lamp.' In the obsidian mining area, there's a place that even the jailers can't find." Jiang Fan replied calmly.
Jiang Fan didn't know about this place originally until he refined the Four Flavors Pill Fire and learned about it!
"Where?!" the four of them asked in unison.
But Jiang Fan didn't answer. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "You mean to let me kill the real ghost god Meng Po? That way, I can awaken my mother's memory without any obstacles?"
"It seems that this is the only way. Although it sounds difficult, there is still hope." The four masters nodded in unison.
"Besides, Mr. Jiang, you are not fighting alone. The four of us are willing to do our part! To help you kill the gods and save your mother!" The four masters said with a serious look and a solemn oath.
But Jiang Fan didn't believe a single word. You know, there isn't a single good person on the 17th floor! If he believed their lies, he'd probably be sold out by them and have to count their money for them any day now!
They want the matching Mengpo soup, Jiang Fan believes it!
But they are willing to help him deal with the real ghost Meng Po, which is simply a fantasy!
Maybe, they are following the plan of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole is waiting behind!
