Chapter 1608: An ant trying to shake a tree
Soon, Ye Linglong understood the problem. The places where these ghosts were fighting were all on the edge of the ghost fire.
So what trapped these ghosts was not the monster, but the burning cold ghost fire!
But the will-o'-the-wisp couldn't possibly be released by that monster; it must have been released by the ghosts themselves!
Why would they do this? This is tantamount to suicide!
Although the situation is urgent, Ye Linglong doesn't dare to act on her own. She is afraid of accidentally ruining the ghost clan's plan.
At this moment, Ye Linglong saw a familiar person deep in the will-o'-the-wisp.
It’s Heijiu and Yu Changfeng!
Around them was the familiar Jia Shiliu and several ghosts who had been through life and death together but had never entered the Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Abysses.
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Ye Linglong's mind. Based on this guess, she turned her eyes to the deepest part of the will-o'-the-wisp.
As expected!
She saw the Hades at the center where the ghost fire was burning most fiercely!
At this time, he had a sneer on his face, staring at Hei Jiu and the others, his eyes full of ruthlessness and mockery.
Heijiu and the others also looked at him in the same way, with pain, forbearance and stubbornness coexisting in their eyes, as if they had already given up everything.
"Junior sister, why do I feel like something is not right about the situation ahead?" Pei Luobai said.
Just as he was speaking, there was a sudden "puff" sound, and a ghost fire erupted from one of the ghost tribe's locations in front of him. The flames shot up into the sky and were very eye-catching.
And at the moment when the flames were rising into the sky, the monster pounced directly towards the flames and bit off the lower body of the ghost in the flames!
If he had not dodged before his death, he would have been swallowed by the monster by now.
But despite this, the ghost tribe, which was only half left, still died in a very tragic way, which was shocking to the sight.
His death made the already painful faces of the ghosts even uglier.
At this time, the Hades in the center of the will-o'-the-wisp laughed.
"Aren't you very stubborn? Aren't you just trying to shake a tree with an ant? What? Are you scared now? I thought you could hold on a little longer.
You are a bunch of stupid traitors with wild ideas. Even the Eastern Ghost Emperor couldn't defeat me when he was calling the shots in the underworld. How can you, a few little beasts, turn the tables in my hands?
It's a huge joke!
I will show you that your stupidity will lead to nothing but digging your own graves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Jiu spoke.
"Even if it's like an ant trying to shake a tree, even if it means seeking our own death, even if there will be no results, we will persist in giving it a try! For the future of the ghost clan, and for ourselves!"
"For the future of the ghost tribe? What a joke! This is the funniest joke I have ever heard!
Do you really think that if we work like slaves for the immortals, they will let us go and destroy the golden sword hanging over the heads of the ghosts?
impossible!
They will only take advantage of the fact that we are exhausted from fighting for them to further oppress us!
So conserve your strength, keep waiting, and you will be invincible in the end! I am the one who works hard for the ghosts, but you want to destroy my plan for the ghosts and take them to be cannon fodder for the immortals and die!
You traitors, all deserve to die!" the Hades shouted excitedly.
"Don't you understand why this golden sword hangs over the ghosts and not the monsters and humans?
When the gods and demons fought each other, the other three tribes all stood on the side of the gods, and only the ghosts stood as a fence-sitter!
Because we have different intentions, no one trusts us. Whichever group is in power will suppress us and be wary of us, so we are always targeted and have no chance to make a breakthrough!
All of this was wrong many years ago, and now you are making the same mistake again!
Because of your selfish desire, you let our brothers with less cultivation go to die!
How many of us went to the Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Abysses? And how many of us came back?
You think your response is enough, but do you really think the immortals are blind? Do you really think everyone's heart is blind?
Are you worthy of your people who trust you wholeheartedly, and worthy of the position you sit in?
Anyone who is selfish and insincere will never be respected and trusted!
Moreover, if the war cannot be resolved quickly, do you really think the ghosts will have an easy life in the future?" Hei Jiu said.
"So you are deliberately looking for an opportunity to get rid of me?"
"Just because you sent your brothers to their deaths, you deserve to die!" Yu Changfeng said angrily, "Many of them were your disciples. They trusted and respected you wholeheartedly, but you sent them to die. You are the one who deserves to die the most!"
Hearing this, the Dark Emperor laughed again: "If that's the case, there's nothing to say. The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. None of us can convince anyone, so let's just use our fists to do the talking!
Today, I will let all of you traitors die here!"
"Even if we all die here, we will keep you here forever!" said a ghost.
"That's right! Without us, there will be other ghosts, but without a scum like you, the ghosts will not go astray again!" said another ghost.
"We must stand upright in this world!"
"For the sake of the ghost clan, we deserved to die!"
One after another, the ghosts spoke, one voice after another. Their faces were painful but their expressions were firm. They were brave and fearless. They were admirable.
At this moment, even if Ye Linglong and the others were not very smart, they knew the whole story and when they looked at the disciples of the Ghost Clan, there was a bit more admiration in their eyes.
When they used the will-o'-the-wisp to control the Hades, the Hades also used the will-o'-the-wisp to control them. They trapped each other in the monster's hunting ground, and no one was allowed to escape.
They would rather sacrifice themselves and die here with the Hades than let him go back and let him harm the entire ghost clan with his wrong and selfish decision.
They were determined and willing to sacrifice their lives for the future of the ghost tribe!
"Junior Sister Ye, please find a way to help them quickly." Si Yichen said.
Ye Linglong was originally anxious, but as soon as he opened his mouth, her eyes immediately lit up.
"I have an idea!"
After a moment, the will-o'-the-wisp was still bright and the situation was still tense, but in the next second, a silver bell-like laughter broke the stalemate.
A sky full of purple stars lit up in the darkness, and the Milky Way suddenly came through, illuminating the area where there were only ghost lights, and attracted everyone's attention.
"This is...Emperor Purple Star, she is here! Is she here to save us?" the ghost disciple asked excitedly.
"Emperor Zixing! You are finally here! These traitors rebelled and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power! It was they who undermined my power in the previous incident of the Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Abysses, which made it impossible for the ghost clan to help much! If we really let them succeed, they will completely surrender to the devil!" said the Hades excitedly.
