The stronger ghost reached out and grabbed Li Muhao, while giving his companion a vicious glare.
Li Muhao forced a pleading smile onto his face, then begged again:
"Gentlemen, could you grant me one last wish? That way, I'll be willing to be eaten by you or given as a gift to someone who is temporarily more powerful than you."
After saying that, Li Muhao added another round of flattery.
"I believe you two great figures simply haven't had the opportunity to showcase your abilities; otherwise, your names would surely be renowned throughout the underworld! I'm willing to be the catalyst that helps you obtain that opportunity!"
When Li Muhao said this, he looked completely righteous, which moved the two ghosts. The stronger ghost even gave Li Muhao a warm hug.
"Brother, I understand your intentions. I'll tell you about the dramatic changes that have taken place in the Underworld recently!"
It turns out that ever since the Lord of the River of Oblivion, who had been missing for several days, suddenly returned, the rules of heaven and earth in the underworld began to go out of control. All the ghosts could only seek the protection of the Ghost King. However, at this time, the ghosts of the underworld discovered that only four of the eight Ghost Kings remained, and two of them had already submitted to the Lord of the River of Oblivion.
Another ghost king who had been cultivating in seclusion was ambushed and killed by three ghost kings led by the Lord of the River of Oblivion before he could find the Yama King Ye Ming, who had not yet appeared. This was the first time that the ghosts of the underworld had witnessed the death of a ghost king.
It was this battle that shattered the sky and ground of the underworld, and even the ghostly energy upon which the ghosts depended for survival began to dissipate. This change directly shattered the mentality of the ghosts in the underworld.
Only by submitting to the Lord of the River of Oblivion can all ghosts obtain a stable source of ghost energy. It is important to understand that ghost energy is not merely for cultivation for ghosts, but rather akin to food for humans.
Therefore, the Wangchuan forces, which were originally only in the third or fourth position, directly surpassed the forces led by Yama to become number one.
"I've already told you everything, now it's your turn to speak, brother!"
The powerful ghost reached out and patted the dazed Li Muhao. Li Muhao looked at the two ghosts in disbelief and said in a trembling voice:
"You mean Yama, the King of Hell, and the Grim Reaper have both disappeared? And Yama's forces have been scattered?"
The two ghosts were somewhat surprised. Why was this living person so concerned about the forces of Yama? Could it be...?
Thinking of this, the weaker ghost carefully sensed the aura on Li Muhao's body and its expression changed drastically.
"Brother, this kid must be a messenger of hell, the kind who walks among humans!"
"You mean he's from the Wandering God lineage? Holy crap, doesn't that mean we're in deep trouble?"
The powerful ghosts hurriedly tried to release Li Muhao, and even their gazes towards him changed, as if they had seen a bomb about to explode.
Li Muhao didn't know why the two subordinates of the Lord of Wangchuan had such expressions after they learned that he was the Day Wanderer. Hadn't Yama's forces already been scattered?
"Brother, it's all a misunderstanding, please don't mind!"
Just as the powerful ghost finished speaking, another ghost reached out and pulled him.
"Big brother, we can't let him go! If we do, we'll never be able to get out of here again. That Meng Po will definitely hunt us down everywhere!"
The two ghosts exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing unspoken sorrow.
A moment later, the weaker ghost spoke viciously:
"We still need to hand him over. Once Lord Wangchuan becomes the King of the Underworld, we won't be afraid of that Meng Po anymore!"
After saying that, he turned to Li Muhao and said:
"Brother, I'm sorry, but we two brothers have to climb up the ladder, so we have to sacrifice you!"
After saying that, he raised his hand to tuck Li Muhao into his sleeve, but his older brother quickly reached out and pressed his arm down.
"Since it's going to be handed over, we still need to find a way to determine who owns this person!"
Seeing this, Li Muhao nodded repeatedly, and then readily said:
"That would be my honor, but in order to prevent my two promising brothers from having conflicts in the future, I still hope that you can determine who is superior according to my method!"
As soon as Li Muhao finished speaking, the two ghosts nodded repeatedly, looking at Li Muhao with expectant expressions.
"Let's play hide-and-seek! You two hide, and I'll be the seeker! Whoever I find last gets to keep them!"
The two ghosts' eyes lit up when they heard Li Muhao's suggestion. This was a great idea! They both believed they could win.
The weaker one thought this method had nothing to do with strength, and that he was sure he could win with his intelligence, while the other one thought he was strong enough to win, so they both readily agreed.
"Brothers! Can I count to fifty and then start looking?"
Li Muhao asked earnestly, and the powerful ghost pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
"Let's count to one hundred. The environment is quite harsh now; fifty won't get you far!"
The weaker ghost glanced at its elder brother and nodded slightly. Li Muhao deliberately pretended to hesitate before speaking:
"But you've gone too far, I'm worried I won't be able to find you!"
The two ghosts laughed and said:
"It's okay, we have plenty of time, we can definitely wait patiently for you!"
Li Muhao nodded slightly, then turned around, closed his eyes, and said:
"Hey guys, you'd better hide, I'm starting to count!"
After saying that, Li Muhao began to count quietly.
"one two three……"
The two ghosts flew quickly into the distance, clearly having exerted all their strength, fearing that they would fall behind and be found by Li Muhao.
"98...99...100. Brothers, I'm here to find you!"
After shouting loudly, Li Muhao turned around, lay down, and carefully looked behind him. After two breaths, seeing no movement, he immediately started running quickly in another direction.
One hour... two hours... until nearly four hours had passed, the two ghosts began to wonder if they had hidden themselves too well. So they deliberately made a little noise to try and expose their location, but there was no response at all.
At this moment, Li Muhao had no idea that the two simpletons were still hiding. He thought that the two ghosts had already started tracking him. So after escaping for a distance, Li Muhao walked carefully on the ground, and deliberately chose to walk in places where the ground fire was strong.
As for where to go, Li Muhao had no clue at all. At this moment, he only hoped that Xiao Yanbao was strong enough to completely resist the guy inside Gao Kexin's body.
Just as Li Muhao arrived at the entrance of a cave where the air was constantly scorched by subterranean fire, and was about to walk around it, someone pressed down on his shoulder.
