240: On par with the Ghost Emperor? Just a mount.

“Indeed, no matter how many times I see it, I still find this scene so stunning!”

“When can I be like him, riding a dragon? Traveling thousands of miles in a single day!”

“Cool is just one word, and I’m already tired of saying it.”

…

Although Chen Ming had left, the topic he left behind became even more heated.

Rumble!

Hearing a thunderous sound from above.

Yang Xiao, who was leading his team towards the Ghost City, slowly looked up and instantly widened his eyes in surprise, “Wait! Is that! A dragon??”

Yang Xiao’s understanding of dragons only existed in legends; this was the first time he had seen one with his own eyes.

“Oh my god! A dragon actually appeared in the Ghost Realm. Isn't that a terrifying existence said to be able to rival the Ghost Emperor in strength?”

“Is the Ghost Realm about to descend into chaos? We just finished the border war, and now we have to face a new round of bitter fighting?”

“I hope it’s just passing by, or perhaps it has reached some kind of cooperative relationship with the current Ghost Emperor?”

They forced themselves to think in a positive direction to avoid being a jinx.

Due to the height and angle, they couldn't clearly see Chen Ming, Qin Hongyue, and the others riding on the dragon’s back.

“…” Yang Xiao remained silent, his mind filled with thoughts.

He worried that a war might break out between the Ghost Emperor and the Dragon Emperor. He had fought for many years, finally about to start enjoying his ghost life, only for everything to start over again?

It would be fine if the Ghost Emperor won, but if the Ghost Emperor were defeated, Yang Xiao could probably imagine how the Dragon Emperor would deal with him.

Trying to reason with such a high-level existence that judges by bloodline and views ghosts and monsters as mere ants and weeds?

Difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven!

His heart suddenly hung in the air, unable to settle down even slightly.

Little did he know, the so-called Dragon Emperor in his eyes was actually just a mount under Chen Ming's command, nothing more.

For now, he could only hope that he was overthinking things and that everything would develop in a good direction.

Pray! Silently pray!

Meanwhile, Chen Ming easily crossed the lake and arrived at the entrance of the Ghost City in the distance.

The tall city walls were considerably taller than the Calamity Dragon.

In front of the city gate, ghosts were lining up in an orderly fashion to enter the city.

“So, you need to pay huangquan coinss to enter the city?” Chen Ming clearly noticed.

“Yes, you need to pay huangquan coinss to enter the Ghost City, but not to leave,” Yin Qianqian, who was lying on Qin Hongyue's back, gave a positive reply.

After her body shrunk, her voice also became much more childish, sounding quite adorable.

“A dragon? That’s a dragon!”

“Run!”

“No! Don’t kill me! I have elders above and children below!”

…

Seeing the Calamity Dragon appear, the ghosts scattered and fled, terrified.

The guards at the city gate were also frozen in place, not daring to move.

Chen Ming and Qin Hongyue, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, jumped down from the dragon's head, and walked towards the city gate.

The Calamity Dragon, having completed its mission, sank into a large shadow gate that opened on the ground.

Chen Ming worried that continuing to bring it along would attract many unnecessary troubles.

Chen Ming wasn't afraid of trouble, but there was no need to seek it out.

Unlike others, he was here to enjoy the atmosphere of the Huangquan Ghost Realm.

To put it more bluntly, it could be called tourism.

After all, Chen Ming had already seen the vastness and richness of Great Xia and the world.

Even for him, experiences like this were rare.

He wanted to seize every opportunity to broaden his horizons.

His future life was still long, infinitely close to eternal life, so he should see more and accumulate more.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the city gate.

Chen Ming proactively asked the guard who was still in a daze, “How many huangquan coinss are needed to enter the city?”

“For the two of you, none needed, just go in directly!” The guard snapped back to attention and quickly stated his position.

He wasn't so arrogant as to dare ask a top-tier expert like that for a toll.

“Is that so.” Chen Ming didn't insist, glanced at Qin Hongyue, and said, “Let’s go in.”

“Yes.” Qin Hongyue quickly followed Chen Ming closely and entered the city gate under everyone's gaze.

“Boss, if you open the back door like this, what if the Captain finds out and blames you?” A comrade came up and asked.

“Just a few scoldings, compared to having my soul scattered, it's nothing,” the guard said speechlessly. “He's a monster who can use a Dragon Emperor as a mount. You want me to ask him for a toll? Are you crazy, or am I crazy?”

“Go ask the Ghost Emperor if he dares to ask for this money?”

The comrade thought about it carefully and realized he was right.

“Furthermore, did you notice that doll on that woman's shoulder just now? It's a very powerful Ligui (fierce ghost)! It can step into the fierce ghost level at any time!”

“Wandering soul, fierce soul, ghost, great ghost, Ligui (fierce ghost), fierce ghost, Ghost King, Ghost Emperor, her strength is actually this strong?” The comrade said in surprise.

“Yes, being a Ligui (fierce ghost), yet being so respectful to that Man, how simple do you think he can be?”

Seeing his comrade speechless, the guard continued, “I suspect he is a Ghost Emperor from somewhere else!”

“What!”

“Shush! Don't make a sound. The disputes between those big shots are not something insignificant characters like us can casually participate in.” The guard reached out and covered his comrade's mouth, forcing him to shut up, fearing trouble from loose lips.

It didn't matter if he caused trouble from loose lips, what he feared was implicating himself.

He believed that in the eyes of those high-ranking ghosts, killing one person or killing a few people made little difference.

As a ghost, it's important to have self-awareness!

“This Ghost City is indeed much more prosperous than the previous Ghost Realm.”

Looking at the coming and going, endless streams of ghosts with various appearances, and the high-rise buildings decorated with lanterns and banners, Chen Ming felt a sense of déjà vu, like returning to ancient times.

He was already used to their strange appearances and felt no fear at all.

Chen Ming could sense that many ghosts were staring intently at him and Qin Hongyue.

It wasn't hard to understand; two humans walking brazenly on the streets belonging to ghosts, their conspicuousness was self-evident.

It was impossible not to notice them.

The main reason they had the evil intention but not the guts was that Yin Qianqian, being a Ligui (fierce ghost), was constantly releasing ghost energy to intimidate them.

Making them understand that if they dared to act rashly, she, Yin Qianqian, would definitely not be merciful!

Among those present, Chen Ming couldn't see a single one who had reached the Ligui (fierce ghost) level at a glance.

Most were ordinary ghosts, with only a few scattered great ghosts. How could they dare to challenge Yin Qianqian, who was a Ligui (fierce ghost)?

It wasn't just a small difference; it was a huge difference.

He increasingly felt that taking in Yin Qianqian was a very correct decision.

It was equivalent to having a personal protective charm. If he were to encounter and fish up ghost-type enemies in the future, he could directly perform level suppression and dimensionality reduction attacks on them!

Simple, convenient, fast…

“What’s wrong?” Chen Ming noticed the cold expression on Qin Hongyue's face and asked.

“Master, have you felt that there are eyes constantly observing us from the shadows? The levels of those guys are not much lower than Qianqian's.”

Qin Hongyue spoke of what she had sensed.
