Chapter 422 Everyone begged him to stay alive!
The disappearance of the White-Faced Ghost King shocked all the ghost kings who were attending the ghost king meeting at that time.
Although they did not use their real bodies to hold the meeting, even if only their soul power clones gathered together for the meeting, the soul power clone of the White-faced Ghost King suddenly disappeared. It can be said that the White-faced Ghost King was killed under their noses.
The ghost kings who were eager to know whether the White-faced Ghost King was dead or alive secretly found a ghost under the White-faced Ghost King who was wandering around. After confirming that the White-faced Ghost King was still alive, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good to be alive, as long as you are alive there is hope.
It’s not that they care about the White-Faced Ghost King that much, but it’s mainly because they feel grief for the death of a rabbit and for their own kind.
After learning that the White-Faced Ghost King was not dead, they couldn't help but think that if the ghost who was killed was themselves, then they should not die either. As long as they were alive, there was hope.
The White-Faced Ghost King was declared missing.
The other ghost kings were so scared that they changed their hiding places one after another, but only their main bodies changed locations while their souls still gathered together to hold a meeting. Even if no result was reached, it was better than having a single ghost worrying about it.
At least a group of ghost kings gathered together for a meeting and could judge what happened to each ghost king. What if a ghost king encountered the special office's method of capturing ghost kings again and was kind enough to use his soul power to share it with other ghost kings?
The ghost kings in the meeting looked at each other in silence. After a while, the Red Snake Ghost King couldn't help asking, "What should we do now? If we continue like this, we will be defeated one by one. The next White-Faced Ghost King might be us."
The other ghost kings all had various plans in their minds, but no one said anything.
The Red Snake Ghost King was a little angry. He slapped the table, turning the tabletop and the banquet that were conjured up by ghost magic into a ball of ghostly air: "Speak up! Are you all mute? It is because everyone is not united enough that humans have the opportunity to defeat us one by one. If we can join forces, all of humanity can become our captive lambs!"
Ghost King Qingshan stepped forward to stop Ghost King Chilian who was trying to disperse the ghost energy: "Chilian, calm down, don't be angry, aren't we all thinking and discussing?"
Even if you are angry, don't shoot the table and the banquet it has condensed. Do you really think it is easy for it to spend its ghost energy to condense this table of decent food and wine? After working so hard for most of the day, it was slapped back into its original form by the Red Snake Ghost King. Doesn’t it have any dignity?
If it weren't for the fact that the Red Snake Ghost King was indeed stronger than it, if it really just got up, it could be used as a sandbag by the Red Snake Ghost King. Even if it didn't break much of its defense, who would be willing to be a sandbag?
The Green Mountain Ghost King then looked very good and spoke nice words to the Red Snake Ghost King to smooth things over.
The Scarlet Snake Ghost King thought it was just bullshitting: "Discuss? Did you come up with anything? Everyone is shirking responsibility, hoping that other ghosts will rush forward to test the human's methods, so that they can hide behind and reap the benefits. If everyone really thinks this way, then why hold a meeting? Let's disband as soon as possible and let's fend for ourselves!"
The Red Snake Ghost King can no longer control his temper. After all, this is almost a life-and-death crisis, and the ghost kings are still fighting among themselves. Who can stand this?
But the phrase "telling lies all the time" is really a very vivid description of a person who is a habitual liar.
Each of these ghost kings is full of nonsense and is not credible at all.
The ghost kings have become so powerful because they have climbed up through hardships. They have relied on telling lies to gain benefits, and have also encountered other ghosts telling lies to them to cheat them of benefits.
Even if one becomes a ghost king, he is still wary and cautious of other ghosts. Some ghost kings are even mortal enemies. If one wants them to put aside their hatred and unite as one, the sword that kills ghosts must be hanging over their heads.
Just as the ghost kings were arguing, a ghost shadow floated over.
The ghost kings were shocked. All the ghost kings who could come to the meeting were here. Where did this ghost come from so boldly to disturb a meeting of ghost kings?
When the ghost shadow floated closer, the ghost kings discovered that it was actually the soul clone of the White-Faced Ghost King.
The soul clone of the White-Faced Ghost King swaggered into the group of Ghost Kings and sat down, sighing and saying, "I really escaped death this time! I'm so unlucky. If I didn't know how to clone myself, I would have really been in trouble this time."
The ghost kings stared at it non-stop, their scrutinizing eyes almost wanting to analyze the soul clone of the White-Faced Ghost King clearly from the inside out.
After confirming that this was indeed the soul power from the White-Faced Ghost King, the ghost kings relaxed their vigilance a little.
The Red Snake Ghost King asked, "White Face Ghost King, can you tell me in detail what happened? You are the only Ghost King who escaped."
The White-Faced Ghost King chuckled, rubbed his fingers, and said clearly: "You also said that I am the only ghost king who escaped successfully. I am also the only ghost who knows the information. I escaped successfully at great cost. The loss is not small. If you want to get information from me, you have to pay me!"
The currency used in transactions between ghosts is not human money, nor is it ghost money, but the crystallization of soul power.
Ghosts can remove the imprint of their own consciousness from their soul power and turn it into ownerless soul power, and then press it into pieces of pure soul power crystals.
Any ghost can easily absorb soul power crystals to increase its strength, so soul power crystals circulate among ghosts and are hard currency, as well as currency between ghosts.
Compared with human currency, soul power crystals not only have monetary circulation value, but also practical value for cultivation.
Moreover, every ghost can condense soul power crystals. Even the poorest ghost can spend more time to condense some soul power crystals. However, the weaker the ghost, the fewer soul power crystals it condenses; the stronger the ghost, the stronger the soul power crystals it condenses.
This means that among ghosts, strong strength represents wealth, and weak strength represents poverty.
However, powerful ghosts also consume a lot of soul power crystals, and the ghost kings will not think that they have too many soul power crystals.
Therefore, the White-Faced Ghost King greedily demanded intelligence fees from the other ghost kings. In the eyes of other ghost kings, there was nothing wrong with it and it was a familiar taste.
Not to mention the White-Faced Ghost King, they are in a different place and know exclusive information. Other ghost kings want to know. Even if it can't afford to offend so many ghost kings and can't refuse to disclose the information, they will definitely take the opportunity to sell it at a high price.
So, eldest brother, don’t criticize second brother, and don’t laugh at half a catty for five taels.
The Red Snake Ghost King can't wait to find out what method the human special office used to easily deal with the Ghost King. Until this secret is revealed, they will not have peace.
Therefore, the Red Snake Ghost King gave the White-Faced Ghost King a large number of soul power crystals without hesitation.
The Ghost King Qingshan worked hard to condense a new ghost energy table. Now, this large pile of soul power crystals were piled on the table, like a small hill, which was very eye-catching.
At least the ghost kings who were meeting around the round table found it difficult to take their eyes off the pile of soul power crystals on the table.
The White-Faced Ghost King quickly swept the soul crystals on the table into his pocket like a thief, then looked at the other ghost kings: "The Red Snake Ghost King is the only ghost who paid the money, so I will only tell him!"
The other ghost kings were somewhat dissatisfied. It seemed that every ghost had to pay the intelligence fee.
However, what made them even more dissatisfied was the generosity and impatience of the Scarlet Snake Ghost King. Why didn't he bargain at all and just directly gave them so many soul power crystals? Wouldn't this raise the cost of intelligence? They were forced to hold their noses and bear the pain and give a similar number of soul power crystals.
The White-Faced Ghost King was even greedier than they had imagined. He directly reported the number of soul crystals that the Red-Snake Ghost King had just thrown out and said, "The other ghosts must also give this number, no less. Of course, I won't ask for more."
Other ghost kings: “…” Now it’s impossible to secretly give less, the White-Faced Ghost King is really obsessed with money.
But the Ghost King is the Ghost King after all. The number that the Red-Snake Ghost King can throw out at will is something that the Ghost King can afford. It’s just that they are unwilling to be tricked by the White-Faced Ghost King with just one piece of intelligence.
The White-Faced Ghost King knew when to stop, and after collecting the intelligence fee with a smile, he told them the intelligence he knew: "Wu Tong from the Special Office has a very special ability that can make ghosts particularly fond of him and willing to coexist with him. I met that Wu Tong, and he wanted me to coexist with him, but I didn't want to, so he released the three Ghost Kings of the Chi Chi to beat me up. Fortunately, I have the ability to split my body, and in order to save my life, my main body and the clone were not together. The clone was besieged and killed by the three Ghost Kings of the Chi Chi, but my main body was relatively far away and was relatively safe, so I was able to condense my soul power to split my body and tell everyone this information."
The White-Faced Ghost King portrays himself as an upright person who values his companions.
The ghost kings who just paid a sum of intelligence fee: “…” How dare you ask for credit? This is really a matter of making money and earning favors.
The Red Snake Ghost King asked doubtfully, "Really? Are the three Ghost Kings Zhichi all willing to follow the human named Wu Tong? Is that true or not?"
The White-Faced Ghost King said solemnly, "Really, you don't know, that human being named Wu Tong is so charming. After seeing him, I felt like I had met him too late. I wanted to immediately bow down to him, submit to him, and coexist with him. If my original body was not in another place and did not see Wu Tong himself, and was not affected, and only my clone was affected, it would be equivalent to me still keeping half of my sanity. I am afraid that I would have fallen into the same trap as the Ghost King Zhichi and the others."
The Scarlet Snake Ghost King said with a gloomy face: "This human named Wu Tong is too dangerous for us ghosts. He is simply our natural nemesis. We must find a way to kill him!"
