The Long-Eyebrow Arhat did not hold a very high position on Mount Ling, so he knew only a limited number of secrets.
After saying all that, there was nothing more of value, so Yang Cheng simply ended the matter.
Yang Cheng frowned, feeling that things were getting a little tricky.
It seems the people of Lingshan are determined to go up against him.
The death of Guangmu Jialan is secondary; they are determined to obtain the succession of the Lord of Mount Tai.
I now only have two choices.
One option was to back down, entrusting Han Yu and Jiang Kai to hand over the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai to Lingshan, and then go into hiding.
That would definitely reduce the intensity of Lingshan's pursuit of him. At most, it would be because the Undying Venerable King Eternal Vajra wanted to avenge his junior brother that he continued to relentlessly pursue Yang Cheng.
The second option is to back down, hold onto the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai and hide in the shadows, trying to stall until the mission ends and leave the world of reincarnation.
However, that would easily lead to a high-intensity search by Lingshan, so one would have to be even more careful.
But the question is, is Yang Cheng the kind of person who would willingly admit defeat?
He disregarded the rules of Lingshan and brought in outside help to the mortal realm, so Yang Cheng dared to overturn the table!
Yang Cheng does have a foreign player, and he could even be a disruptive force.
Back in the Great Zhou World, the Night Wanderer Fang Mingjun left Yang Cheng a way to contact the Underworld. As long as he was outside the main world, he could contact the people in the Underworld.
The Underworld has no main quest, but its inhabitants can freely enter and exit any world as long as they suppress their own strength, which is somewhat similar to the Great Free Heaven.
If Lingshan is so interested in the lineage of the Lord of Mount Tai, what about the Underworld?
If I just use the inheritance of the Lord of Mount Tai to ask the underworld for help, solving the problem of Mount Ling should not be difficult.
Of course, this is just the best guess.
The underworld is not someone to be trifled with.
Those people did not have the title of Reincarnators; they were a group of people independent of the Reincarnators. You could even say that they were within the cycle of reincarnation in all heavens, yet independent of it.
No one knows what their true purpose is; in short, they are enemies rather than friends to most reincarnators.
Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices. (yeguoyuedu)
The fact that Yang Cheng forced Fang Mingjun to cooperate with him last time shows that the Underworld's credibility is still quite good.
However, placing all his hopes on the other party's reputation was the last thing Yang Cheng wanted to do.
Therefore, while bringing the underworld into the game could be a case of driving away a tiger to devour a wolf, it could also be a case of repelling the tiger in front while letting the wolf in through the back door.
Everything is unknown.
But Yang Cheng has been forced into a corner with no other choice, so he has no other option but to do this.
However, Yang Cheng did not choose to summon the people of the underworld immediately. Instead, he planned to deal with the Northern Ghost King first and obtain the second Taishan Prefecture Lord's inheritance.
He still needs to stay in the Heavenly Palace, so his collusion with the Underworld must never be exposed.
Two copies of the Taishan Prefecture Lord's inheritance, one for the underworld, to be used for trading.
He planned to offer the other document to the Heavenly Palace after he left, in exchange for the Heavenly Palace's protection.
Otherwise, the monks of Lingshan might cause him trouble. Moreover, possessing a treasure is a crime, and the inheritance of the Lord of Taishan should not be openly placed in his hands.
In this way, in the eyes of others, Yang Cheng only had one copy of the Taishan Prefecture Lord's inheritance, which he had already offered to the Heavenly Palace.
The portion allocated to the underworld was naturally seized by them themselves, and had nothing to do with Yang Cheng.
With this in mind, Yang Cheng immediately disguised himself carefully and headed to a small hill on the outskirts of Saigon.
That's where the Northern Demon King resides.
This small hill is very strange; it is barren and, despite the sweltering summer heat, it exudes a deep chill.
If viewed from the sky, the entire hill presents a bizarre, skull-like shape.
Standing atop the peak, Yang Cheng used his divine power to create a giant hand and began digging into the skull's head.
The deeper you dig, the denser the yin energy becomes.
After digging down for an unknown number of meters, a passage entirely composed of yin energy appeared before Yang Cheng.
Protected by the Ghost King Seal, Yang Cheng leaped directly into the Yin energy passage.
The next moment, Yang Cheng leaped out of the Yin Qi passage and appeared before him in a dark hall.
The scene around the entire hall was terrifying, filled with muddy flesh and blood.
These flesh and blood looked as if they had been crushed by some heavy object; almost none of them were intact corpses, but rather fragments of flesh and blood.
Moreover, nourished by the yin energy, this flesh and blood did not rot into bones; instead, it appeared incredibly fresh and emitted an extremely unpleasant, fishy odor.
Just then, the sound of chains sliding through the air rang out.
It was as if some enormous creature was emerging from the darkness.
With a muffled groan that sounded like someone was breathing heavily, Yang Cheng finally saw what the thing in the darkness was.
It was a huge ghost, about ten meters tall.
The flesh on the other's body was like that of a zombie, emitting a bluish-gray hue, and in some places it even had eerily blackish-gray scales growing on it.
The enormous monster had a belly as big as a drum, a ferocious and terrifying face, three eyes, four fangs sticking out of its mouth, and two scarlet horns on its head.
It also wore a necklace made entirely of human skulls around its neck, carried a heavy bone hammer that was seven or eight meters tall, and had two huge iron chains on its wrists, making it look incredibly heavy and terrifying.
This ghost is the Mighty Ghost King, one of the Four Ghost Kings.
"Meat! Meat!"
