Demon Realm, Grave Mountain
In the city of Eternal Night, there is a unique mountain. The hillside is desolate and silent, without a single plant or tree, and is filled with upright tombs.
These graves have no names and no one has ever worshipped them. There is only a simple grave formed by a protruding mound of earth and a wooden board inserted in front of the mound.
The entire mountain is dotted with such graves, the number of which is horrifying.
No one knows when this started and how many people are buried in the mountain.
All I know is that every day there is a hunchbacked old man who has been burying the bodies of all the dead over and over again since long ago.
It is precisely because of the tombs all over the mountain that this mountain is called the Grave Mountain.
Many forces once wanted to drive the old men out of the cemetery, but the final result was that the more people came, the more graves appeared in the cemetery the next day...
On this day, a graceful and calm figure slowly stepped onto the grave hill.
As soon as he entered the cemetery, Ning Yechen felt the thick miasma and fog condensed from corpse qi permeating the entire cemetery.
However, this level of miasma and corpse gas had no effect on him, and he walked slowly up the hill of graves.
After a while, Ning Yechen arrived at the top of the grave mountain and saw from afar a hunched figure sitting in front of two graves, one big and one small.
"This is not the place for you, get out of here."
The old man noticed Ning Yechen's arrival and warned him without turning his head.
"What if I insist on staying here~?"
Ning Yechen smiled slightly and said confidently.
Hearing this, the old man glanced at his face, and his eyes instantly became stern and sharp.
"In that case... let's stay here forever!"
After saying that, the old man stretched out his hand, and a dark green hand formed by corrosive miasma grabbed Ning Yechen directly!
Ning Yechen stood still, with shadows rising up under his feet, blocking the miasma-filled hand that was coming towards him.
Seeing this scene, the old man was shocked.
His corrosive miasma could corrode everything in the world, even all magical weapons, but it was blocked by the young man in front of him!
"The old man in the legendary graveyard seems to be just like this."
Ning Yechen removed the shadow barrier in front of him and said with a joking expression.
He knew that the old man in front of him had not yet exerted his full strength, so he deliberately provoked him.
The old man's eyes were cold and he flew over and grabbed Ning Yechen in an instant.
Ning Yechen raised his palm, and the two palms clashed with spiritual power, and a huge spiritual power shock erupted in an instant!
The mountain beneath his feet was instantly annihilated and dissipated under the spiritual pressure, and the dark green spiritual power wafting from the old man turned all the grass and trees within a radius of more than a hundred miles into dead trees!
Ning Yechen calmly dealt with it with one hand, his expression as indifferent as usual, without any pressure at all.
The old man noticed Ning Yechen's amazing spiritual power and was suddenly shocked. He stretched out both palms and activated his corrosive spiritual power!
However, even so, the situation did not change at all, and Ning Yechen still dealt with it calmly with one hand.
The moment Ning Yechen gently pushed his palm, the old man was suddenly blown away and flew backwards a hundred meters!
"If I'm not mistaken, your power is definitely more than this, right?"
"You seem to have some major concerns?"
Ning Yechen withdrew his arm and asked in confusion.
He felt that the entire mountain of graves, every grave was filled with miasma and spiritual energy, as if the old man did it on purpose, but he did not activate or use the miasma for his own benefit...
The old man slowly got up from the ground and looked at the graves around him with a hesitant look. Then he turned his head to look at the two graves behind him. Suddenly, he could not help but feel endless hatred and murderous intent!
"It's not the right time yet..."
The old man murmured softly to himself, and then after trying to calm the murderous intent and hatred in his heart, he did not choose to exert his true strength to fight a life-and-death battle with Ning Yechen.
The rest of his life and strength will be used for revenge. Everything he has done so far is for revenge, not to deal with the young man in front of him...!
After hearing the old man's words and following his gaze to the two graves behind him, Ning Yechen suddenly understood something.
The reason why this old man in the cemetery did not use his full strength and was extremely conservative and restrained in his attack was that he seemed to be accumulating strength to deal with someone else...
And that person was obviously not him.
"It seems that I disturbed you. Goodbye~"
"If there's anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know."
"From now on, the demon world is mine."
Ning Yechen smiled apologetically, said something to the old man and turned away.
He came here out of curiosity to test the old man in the cemetery.
Seeing that the other party was not a very evil person and seemed to have his lifelong wish in mind, there was no need for him to take action again.
There would be no impact if he and the cemetery were left in the Eternal Night City.
"etc!"
Just as Ning Yechen was about to leave, the old man suddenly shouted behind him.
Ning Yechen stopped and turned around in confusion.
"My new Demon Lord, I would like to ask you for a favor..."
The old man stared at Ning Yechen in a daze and pleaded.
"Oh? What's that?"
Ning Yechen asked curiously.
He didn't expect that the other party actually had something to ask him for after he said it casually.
"Kill one person!"
The old man was filled with endless murderous intent and spoke coldly with gnashed teeth.
"who?"
Ning Yechen asked.
"That person is of high status and is not in the demon world. If I have the chance to meet him in the future, I will tell you."
"But I will take revenge myself then!"
"If I die, I'll leave the rest to you!"
The old man asked in a deep voice.
He did not have enough confidence to seek revenge on his enemy, but he could feel that the new Demon Lord in the Demon Realm before him would definitely be able to help him get revenge!
If his revenge fails, this person will definitely be able to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish!
This is his last resort...
"Well...if I think that person should be killed, I will help you."
Ning Yechen said after pondering for a moment.
He didn't know who the old man wanted to kill, or whether it was really the person who should be killed, so he could only agree to him.
“That’s enough…!”
Hearing Ning Yechen's answer, the old man bowed solemnly to thank him and promised:
"If you need anything from now on, I will be at your service at any time!"
"I remember~"
Ning Yechen waved his hand casually, and when he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked:
"By the way, I still don't know your name."
Hearing the question, the old man paused, and after a moment of silence, he replied:
“Shi Gui Tian! My name is Shi Gui Tian!”
"Shikigami-ten..."
Ning Yechen whispered the old man's name softly, then turned around and walked down the mountain.
There are indeed crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the demon world...
If this legendary old man in the tomb mountain really takes action, his strength will definitely be higher than Tian Xing...!
