Chapter 186: A Fruitful Discovery – Uncovering the Truth



"Okay, you didn't lie to me before, I believe you."

Liu Zhentian took a deep breath and began to answer Xia Tianqiong's questions.

Actually, there are two Liu Zhentians in the Liu family.

However, they were not twins, but rather, during infancy, a special magical device was used to split one person into two.

These two are real people, not clones or substitutes, and each has their own thoughts and personality.

They were separated from the beginning; one lived a normal life outside and would inherit the position of family head in the future, while the other lived in this secret base.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, these two will never switch positions.

A few days ago, Liu Zhentian outside noticed that the courtesan in red had lost her senses, and he realized that the Liu family might be in big trouble.

Not wanting the Liu family's millennia-old legacy to be destroyed, he swapped places with Liu Zhentian inside the story.

Because the other side also has a fierce and cunning individual, and only a fierce and cunning individual can protect the Liu family.

Unfortunately, they ultimately could not escape the fate of their clan being wiped out.

Actually, if they hadn't switched places, Xia Tianqiong wouldn't have chased them here after killing him.

As for Liu Zhengguo, he was raised from birth to be the next clan leader, so he was split into two people in infancy.

After explaining all this, Liu Zhentian took off a ring from his finger and handed it to Xia Tianqiong.

"This is a spatial artifact; the treasures of my Liu family are right here."

Xia Tianqiong took it and probed into it with his mind. It was a space of several hundred cubic meters, similar to a Qiankun bag.

Inside was a large amount of ghost money, nearly a billion, as well as tens of thousands of taels of ghost silver, and several hundred taels of ghost gold, along with some other miscellaneous items.

"Your Liu family's wealth is rather meager!"

Xia Tianqiong was a little disappointed, but then she saw Liu Zhentian smile bleakly and slowly collapse.

He had been covered in blood and gore from the snow tornado, and now he died from excessive blood loss.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the surroundings.

"Good riddance!"

"He deserved to die!"

"The beasts of the Liu family deserve to die."

"Hero, there are still some members of the Liu family hiding in the town. I'll lead the way for you to kill them all, okay?"

Suddenly someone offered to lead the way for Xia Tianqiong, and then everyone shouted that they wanted to be guides.

Xia Tianqiong did not go to search for them himself, but instead sent the Contract Ghost with them to find the remaining members of the Liu family, and to kill them as soon as they were found.

The hundreds of strange creatures left behind by the Liu family members he had killed earlier have now been subdued and are lined up, waiting to be contracted by him.

Those who disagreed have all been killed.

After Xia Tianqiong made a contract, she discovered that there were two evil spirits, and the rest were fierce spirits and wild spirits.

In that case, catching two more evil spirits will be enough.

After the strange contract was completed, he continued to examine the contents of the ring.

There were many notebooks with written records inside, and even some animal skin scrolls, which looked like old objects.

He took them out and examined them one by one, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

It records the strange information and special events that the Liu family has gathered over the centuries, as well as some details about other ancient families.

The contents recorded on one of the animal hides were surprisingly related to the Dragon-shaped Ghost King.

Xia Tianqiong then realized that the strange incident he encountered in the hospital's emergency room was deliberately placed there by the Liu family to deal with him.

The Liu family wanted the Ghost King to descend to the mortal realm ahead of schedule, firstly to kill Xia Tianqiong and reclaim the Ghost-Sealing Chessboard, and secondly to disrupt the order of the mortal realm and enter a chaotic world as soon as possible so that the Liu family could take the opportunity to cause trouble.

From this perspective, it's not unjust that the Liu family was wiped out.

Besides these secrets, Xia Tianqiong also found the Liu family's summary of techniques for burning paper money in the notebook.

Most people only get a few hundred pieces of paper money for the dead when they burn paper money for themselves, but with practice, they can get several thousand. At this point, they can burn paper folds of silver ingots to obtain ghost money.

However, it is almost impossible to burn out ghost gold.

Regardless of the form of ghost money, it is all transformed from essence, energy and spirit. One tael of ghost money is equal to ten thousand ghost banknotes, which is ten thousand times in terms of amount.

However, the required energy and spirit are more than ten thousand times greater.

Because the spirit metal is purer and more refined, it requires more essence, energy, and spirit.

Even if someone can burn 10,000 pieces of ghost money, they might not be able to burn ghost gold when burning gold ingots.

This is why ghost gold is extremely rare.

There are actually ways to burn ghost gold.

It's for burning paper money for deceased relatives. For example, if a loved one has just passed away, and there is enough grief and longing, there is a chance that a small amount of paper money can be burned.

However, this situation does not last long. The sadness will gradually subside, and after the first few times, it will be difficult to burn ghost money again.

The Liu family used this method.

The women here are expected to give birth continuously from the age of sixteen. If they are girls, they are all kept as reproductive tools and used as instruments for burning paper money for the dead.

If they were boys, only a small number were allowed to grow up; most of the others were killed by the Liu family after the age of one.

The purpose was to make the mother sad, so that the ghost money would be burned.

In addition, if someone lives to the age of forty, they will be killed so that their family and children can be burned as funerary offerings.

Some of the town's population are descendants of ancient people, and when the population dwindled, some people were brought in from outside.

Even today, many modern people have been captured and brought here by the Liu family.

The Liu family's actions were extremely cruel and inhumane.

After Xia Tianqiong finished reading, she didn't show much expression, which was quite common after the apocalypse.

More than ten minutes later, the group of contracted ghosts who went to hunt down the remnants of the Liu family returned.

Tens of thousands of townspeople gathered again, all wanting to know how Xia Tianqiong would deal with them.

Should we release them? Or should we continue to enslave them like the Liu family?
