199: Those who disobey will be sacrificed!

“It’s you?”

Wang Mian turned around, looking at Lin Qi Ye and the others, surprised to meet them here.

Lin Qi Ye stepped forward, “Long time no see!”

Wang Mian looked at Lin Qi Ye and the others, as if seeing his younger self.

“We can reminisce later,” Wang Mian pointed to the cliff that had become a sea of fire, “Someone got down before us.”

Lin Qi Ye’s eyes narrowed. He knew Wang Mian wasn’t referring to Song Zhong. Those who were faster than them could only be the Ancient God Church.

“Lin Qi Ye, I think you’ve also felt that power, right?”

Silver light swirled in Wang Mian’s eyes. As a God’s Proxy, he was very sensitive to the power of other Deities.

Lin Qi Ye nodded. From the moment he walked to the edge of the cliff, he had felt a dead, cold power.

“This power feels a bit like Death?”

Lin Qi Ye suddenly recalled Li De Yang’s words: the legend of “the Eternal Kingdom of Death” circulated in Anta County.

“That’s right, it’s the power of Death, but it’s not yet certain which Deity left it behind,” Wang Mian said.

In the Great Xia Gods’ mythological system, many Deities held the authority of Death, so it was truly impossible to determine at once.

“This place below, it wouldn’t be the legendary Hell, would it?” Although Bai Li Pang Pang was trying his Exertion to control himself, everyone could still hear the tremor in his voice.

“Hahaha!” Cao Yuan stepped forward and patted Bai Li Pang Pang’s shoulder, “As the saying goes, if I don’t enter Hell, who will? Pang Pang, you’re not scared, are you?”

“Scared? With a professional like you by my side, what am I afraid of? Great Master Cao?”

After speaking, Bai Li Pang Pang put his hands together and said to Cao Yuan, “Monk, whether we can be safe this time depends on you!”

Cao Yuan’s face darkened. This little Pang Pang had quite a sharp tongue.

Lin Qi Ye and Wang Mian exchanged glances.

“Everyone, stick close, don’t get separated!”

With that, the two teams began to descend along the rocks of the cliff.

Song Zhong walked through Fengdu Ghost City. The entire Ghost City was built in the style of an ancient city.

Large areas of residential houses were situated by the roadside. If it weren’t for the endless darkness shrouding above, it would be no different from those ancient city scenic spots in reality.

Song Zhong walked on the street and suddenly felt gusts of cold Yin Wind blowing through the streets.

Bang, bang, bang!

The tightly shut house doors suddenly opened. As those doors opened, the wind on the street grew stronger.

Song Zhong looked left and right. Suddenly, a white paper money fell onto his shoulder.

He picked up the paper money with his fingers, gently rubbed it, and the paper money turned into powder.

“Everyone, it seems the residents here don’t seem to welcome me very much!”

As soon as Song Zhong’s voice fell, the red paper figures following behind him immediately moved.

Under the blowing Yin Wind, those red figures floated into the open courtyards.

Soon after those red paper figures entered the residences, wails of ghosts and wolves howls came from various corners of the city.

“He… Is Fengdu Great Emperor… back…?”

“I want to leave, if this continues, I’ll go crazy!”

“Reincarnation, Reincarnation, I want Reincarnation…”

“Save us, they’re gone, haha, the ghost messengers are all gone!”

“I’m going to find my children… I’m going to kill them…”

In the sinister wails, there was full of malice and hatred, despair and unwillingness.

“So that’s it, you are a group of abandoned poor ghosts, heh heh!”

Song Zhong had already understood the situation.

This Fengdu Ghost City was originally the hub of life and death Reincarnation created by Fengdu Great Emperor using the Law of Reincarnation.

However, ever since the mist descended and the Great Xia Gods transformed into the Nation-Guarding Divine Monuments, this place of Reincarnation lost its control.

Furthermore, after Hades, Osiris, Yama, and Satan jointly shattered Fengdu and seized the Law fragments, the situation here became even worse.

The lingering souls could not enter Reincarnation, and day after day they were corroded by resentment, many of them having already turned into irrational vengeful spirits.

In mutual strife, they completely dissipated into this world.

Song Zhong lifted his right foot and gently tapped the ground three times.

The ancient green bricks beneath Fengdu Ghost City, which had remained unchanged for ages, actually developed cracks.

Crack!

From the cracks in the green bricks, a Peach tree emerged from underground.

The branches of the Peach tree intertwined and twisted, and in an instant, a Peach Gate taller than a person appeared behind Song Zhong.

Within the Ghost City, a gate leading to the Ghost Country appeared.

Feeling the dense Death Qi behind that Peach Gate, these lonely souls and wild ghosts, whose sanity was on the verge of collapse, began to stir.

“A new… a new place!”

“Leave… I want to leave!”

“Save me, save me!”

Song Zhong saw that the Peach Gate he summoned using [Soul Ferry] indeed held an irresistible allure for this group of departed souls.

Of course, Song Zhong would not refuse such a good thing as conveniently gathering some departed souls.

“Everyone, time is limited. Those who wish to be freed, come in!”

Hearing Song Zhong’s words, those departed souls disregarded everything else, one by one, they all rushed out of their houses and surged into that Peach Gate.

Beyond that Peach Gate was Song Zhong’s Ghost Country of Ten Thousand Ghosts.

Zhao Kongcheng and Chen Muye stood behind the gate, watching the continuous stream of departed souls entering the country, their faces showing expressions of joy.

“Hahaha, I wonder where the Lord of the Nation has brought so many departed souls from this time. Captain, it’s still the old rule, understand?”

Chen Muye nodded, “Understood. Those who believe in the Lord of the Nation stay, those who are stubborn, kill them as a sacrifice!”

The two people, no, the two ghosts were completely black, with Evil Qi so dense it seemed to drip, swirling around Zhao Kongcheng and Chen Muye.

Their voices were incredibly loud, with no intention of hiding their conversation.

Those departed souls who still had some sanity shivered upon hearing this.

Where did I end up? Why does it feel like I’ve left one dangerous place only to enter another?

Sacrifice if disobedient, sacrifice what?

Those bewildered departed souls looked around the Ghost Country below, both scared and curious.

In the dark mist, a towering yellow King Flag fluttered within the black mist.

On the apricot-yellow flag surface, a bloody character “Zhong” ( end) continuously fluttered with the Yin Wind.

As those departed souls continued to explore, they saw that many ghosts were tied to the tall flagpole.

Their expressions were extremely painful, yet their faces were full of malice.

However, with every breath, the figures of those ghosts dimmed a bit.

As those ghosts continuously perished, the character “Zhong” ( end) on the King Flag became redder.

Most of the ghosts in the city had already been ferried by Song Zhong. The remaining ones had lost their sanity and did not intend to enter the Peach Gate.

Song Zhong did not force them. For now, finding the item was more important.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a voice suddenly came from the end of the street.

“I never thought such a secret was hidden in Anta County, Song Zhong, you really gave me a surprise!”

“Heh heh!” Song Zhong grinned, laughing happily, “Yue Huai, we meet again so soon!”

Yue Huai appeared before Song Zhong with his followers.

He flung his hand, throwing He Lin in front of Song Zhong, and said with a smile, “Now, you are useless!”
