146 Chaos 2
Outside Dexing Tower, a large number of cultivators had gathered. Their combined blood energy resembled a giant furnace, within which pork was stewing, filling the air with its aroma.
Not only were the vengeful ghosts drooling, but also the seven or eight people behind the Demon King Wen in the Chai family's group. Although their behavior was somewhat strange, they were also drooling profusely.
A burly man with a sinister face approached the Demon King and whispered, "My lord, the eleventh brother is also dead inside. I smelled it. I told him not to stay near humans. But he wouldn't listen. He even coveted the beauties of humans. Has his head been smashed?"
However, even though his head is damaged, he's still one of our people. Revenge must be taken. Wait, I want one of that man's arms. I'll swallow it whole.
The Demon King Wen nodded noncommittally, offering no reply. He glanced around, observing the dense aura of blood, now transformed into a human, and tried his best to learn human habits. Everyone, seeing so much delicious food, was eager to devour it.
Then, as if struck by another thought, he glanced at the Chai family head, temporarily suppressing his inner turmoil. His eyes were filled with fervor and a hint of greed, and he involuntarily stuck out his long, thin, bright red tongue—thankfully, no one noticed.
Mi Zhanguo was currently leading his team, slaying lesser demons in various places. They occasionally encountered a demon slayer, and both sides cautiously passed each other without exchanging a word. Suddenly, he saw a giant human face in the sky, but he was exhausted and felt a pang of guilt looking at the weary young man beside him.
After struggling for a while, he said to them, 'All of you, gather together. Kill as many as you can. Don't go to the middle areas. If you're exhausted, leave immediately. Don't hesitate.'
Having said that, he slung the broadsword over his shoulder, his face filled with determination, and with a single step, covered three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in one stride, heading towards the direction of the person who had approached him.
The Huang family, the Chai family, and others were all patiently waiting. They were waiting for the people inside to be devoured by the evil spirits, waiting for the evil spirits to run rampant, waiting for the people of the city to beg for their help. They were the supreme saviors, making the people of the city understand that the taxes they collected were all deserved. Your survival was all thanks to them.
He Chen slowly opened his eyes, looking at the ghosts swarming around him, many of them staring at him as if he were an exquisite delicacy, but none of them dared to rush forward.
At this moment, a woman in pink—the same woman who had just returned home with the escaped young master—bowed slightly to He Chen and said gratefully, "Thank you, young master, for avenging me. Kongzi, you should leave quickly. Something big is about to happen here."
He Chen smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "I can't leave now, there are people everywhere outside. People who want me dead."
The woman said softly, "Tonight, the entire Wanzhou is destined to become a ghost town. Young master, you should leave quickly. If you don't leave now, it will truly be too late."
Suddenly, a vengeful ghost dressed in black appeared. He had delicate features and fair skin; he must have been a handsome man in life. He stared at the woman with a sinister gaze and laughed loudly, "Little lady, how dare you let a living person leave! When my master returns after making his arrangements, I'll give you a good dressing down."
Then, becoming even more audacious, he said, "Liu Qianqian, if you're willing to come with me and become my ghost concubine, I'll let you go. Otherwise, when the master returns, you won't have another chance."
The words had barely left his lips when a voice boomed in his ear, 'Is there anything else you want to say? If not, then please continue on your journey.'
Enraged, the ghost awakened the adult after its death. Its negative emotions grew stronger, and the slightest inconvenience would set its eyes red. Filled with murderous intent, it had already devoured several other ghosts, and had also secretly consumed several beggars and travelers at night.
Hearing He Chen's threatening words, he became even more enraged and blurted out, "Once the lord has everything arranged, not a single person in this city will survive. Kneel down and beg for mercy, and I'll put in a good word for you with the lord. After you die, you can become his subordinate and devour this world's delicacies together."
He shook his head slightly. It seemed there was no more information. That made sense; even if he requested information, this vengeful ghost wouldn't know.
A dazzling, blinding flash of light. There was no thunderous whistle, only a silent, cold strike that swiftly pierced the chest, then burst into flames like tinder.
A tremendous scream pierced the air, carrying far and wide. Those outside felt the pain as if they too were suffering.
The other ghosts are now terrified and are fleeing in all directions.
Liu Qianqian wasn't afraid at this moment. She said to He Chen, "Thank you, sir. You've freed him. We people have been awakened. The resentment in my heart has grown infinitely. I originally came from a scholarly family, and I was framed. This person was someone I always considered a good confidant."
I never expected this. They actually wanted to give me to the young master of the Huang family to curry favor with him. I discovered them on the way, and I resisted to the death, so I jumped into the river and died.
I never imagined they would even kill my family. After being woken up, I was dazed and tried to go home, only to find that I lived in a different house. From what I overheard, I learned that a fire had wiped out my entire family.
He then added, "Tonight I have avenged myself. Since I have killed someone, please, sir, send me on my way. It would be better than not finding peace even in death." He then bowed very politely in gratitude.
She then added, 'My remains are still in the river beneath the bridge on Central Street. If you, sir, have escaped this calamity, and if you have the time, please bury my remains. I would be eternally grateful.'
Holding a knife in his hand, he had never seen anyone so polite before. In his mind's eye, he was certain that what the woman said was true. She didn't know about the knife and didn't want to cut, so she simply didn't look or cut.
Then, ignoring it, he silently sensed the overwhelming blood energy outside. So many people had arrived, yet they showed no intention of attacking any of these numerous ghosts. Moreover, he felt something was amiss; there were demonic beasts mixed in with them.
Colluding with demonic beasts reminds me of the wolf demon from before. Wanzhou is truly complicated, a complete mess. How to deal with it? We just need to cut the Gordian knot quickly!
The evil spirits continued to gather from all directions, and those who had died unjustly in recent years were quickly awakened, their evil thoughts amplified infinitely, their eyes filled only with resentment and bloodshed.
With a loud bang, the main gate of Dexing Tower was blown open, debris flying everywhere. The Huang family, the Chai family, and the police officers were all shocked and involuntarily took a step back.
A man slowly walked out, dressed in black, with an elegant demeanor, like a gentleman. A sword hung at his waist, and his eyes were cold. He glanced at everyone and spoke in a booming voice, "Is Patriarch Huang here?"
