Chapter 105 That Being

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

“Karma?!” Gu Jueluo laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous.

After a burst of exaggerated laughter, he showed a sarcastic expression at first, and then his eyes were filled with respect. “I only believe in powerful force, and I don’t believe in things like heavens, let alone karma. Remember, His Majesty Qing Ming is our god in this world, and his order is the decree of heavens. No creature can resist…”

“Haha, Gu Jueluo, have you forgotten the being that came here thousands of years ago?” That ghost was not moved. Instead, he laughed coldly.

Hearing the ghost’s words, Gu Jueluo’s expression suddenly froze. A terrifying picture seemed to emerge in his mind, and his eyes inadvertently showed fear.

“Do you think that Qing Ming is a match for that being? If that being were to know that you have done such a thing, I wonder just how miserable your fate will be…” That ghost continued to laugh coldly.

Gu Jueluo looked more frightened, but he suddenly calmed down as if he had thought of something. He said in a sinister tone, “Yes, yes, that being is indeed very powerful, as powerful as a Celestial God, and no one can defeat him. But in the past thousands of years, he has not appeared, so it is impossible for him to discover our actions…

“Even if he finds out in the end, so what? When he comes, the forces of the ten Ghost Kings in our Hungry Ghost Path will have been established. How is he going to stop us? What’s more, during this period, the cultivation of His Majesty Qing Ming and the nine other Ghost Kings has improved a lot, and their strength has reached a terrifying level. Why would they be afraid of that man?” As Gu Jueluo spoke, he felt more and more confident, and the frightened expression on his face had long disappeared.

The ghost’s face darkened. As if he didn’t expect to refute Gu Jueluo’s words, he was silent and didn’t say anything.

“Hahaha, Jueluo, you’re right. I’m very happy!” A loud laugh suddenly rang out in the martial arts practice field.

Gu Jueluo and many other ghost soldiers and ghost generals’ expressions stiffened as if they had realized something. They hurriedly stopped their maneuver and knelt with respectful expressions.

The handcuffed ghosts were all horrified.

“Shouldn’t he be cultivating in the pyramid?

“Why did he suddenly appear here?!”

At the moment when the crowd’s expressions were all different, and their gazes were all filled with astonishment, a figure suddenly appeared.

It was a middle-aged ghost in a dark green robe. His hair was green, and he looked cold and murderous. He was like a sheathed sharp sword and a hibernating wild beast, and his momentum was so oppressive that people couldn’t look straight at him.

As soon as he appeared, even the air seemed to freeze, and a gust of terrifying might naturally emanated from his body.

This ghost was one of the Ten Ghost Kings, the lord of Qing Ming City, Qing Ming.

“Rise!” Qing Ming waved his hand and sat behind Gu Jueluo. Many ghost soldiers and generals, as well as Gu Jueluo, all stood up.

Gu Jueluo came to Qing Ming and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, these ghosts are…”

But when he was about to report, Qing Ming waved his hand and said, “I know what happened. Since they still wanted to secretly cross the River of Forgetfulness after my order, it proves that they are not loyal to me. No disloyal ghosts are allowed to stay in the Hungry Ghost Path. Kill them all as a warning to others. Let those ghosts with evil intentions know that my order can’t be disobeyed…”

Just a few words from him were enough to sentence these ghosts to death.

In the eyes of the noble Ghost King Qing Ming, dozens of lives were like weeds, not worth mentioning.

Of course, it was the same for Gu Jueluo.

Those ghosts’ faces had turned deathly pale. Despair permeated their hearts. The young ghost, who had spoken earlier, suddenly sighed after clenching his teeth. It seemed that he had resigned himself to his fate.

“Go, kill them all, and then post a notice, just say…” Gu Jueluo nodded. Shortly after he had given orders to a ghost general, he heard the question from Qing Ming. “Jueluo, tell me about the recent incorporation of ghosts.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Gu Jueluo respectfully reported, “During this period, after the wise decision of you and the other nine Ghost Kings, the power of our Qing branch has increased several times. Although the other ghost branches are constantly strengthening, they can’t compare with us. Our Qing branch is already the strongest force in the Hungry Ghost Path…”

Qing Ming and Gu Jueluo were talking about their branch and the situation in the Hungry Ghost Path. They didn’t take the handcuffed ghosts seriously at all.

But in the next moment, Gu Jueluo suddenly stopped his report. His expression was stiff, and even Qing Ming was stunned.

It turned out that after Gu Jueluo gave the order, a ghost general came to the handcuffed ghosts aggressively and wanted to kill them. But when he was about to kill the ghosts, his body suddenly stiffened without any sign. Then, he turned into a cloud of black smoke, exploded, and died.

“What’s going on?!”

Although the ghosts were afraid of death, they were also prepared to die in the next moment. How could they not be shocked when they saw that the ghost general, who should have killed them, had suddenly died mysteriously?

“That’s a ghost general!

“How could one with the cultivation of the True Immortal Realm die in such an inexplicable way?!”

A strange atmosphere gradually pervaded the field.

“Just now, an expert took action, saving this group of ghosts!”

This was the first thought of all the ghosts present.

“However, what kind of expert dares to be so presumptuous in front of King Qing Ming?

“Does he want to die?”

Gu Jueluo snorted, jumped out at once, and shouted, “Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous here? Come out!”

His voice was like thunder as it rumbled and shook the heavens and the earth.

Surging ghost force turned into sound waves that spread out in all directions like terrifying waves.

The eardrums of many ghosts shook, and they felt dizzy. Some of the weaker ghosts were directly killed by this voice.

The sound waves receded and no one was found during the process.

Gu Jueluo’s cultivation was already in the Semi Eternal Realm, yet he was actually unable to force the mysterious expert out even if he utilized ghost force and rules.

All the ghost soldiers and ghost generals were shocked, and even Gu Jueluo himself frowned.

“This man is very horrible. I’m no match for him. By the way, didn’t His Majesty Qing Ming find him…” Gu Jueluo thought. When he was about to turn his head and look at Qing Ming, his expression suddenly changed, because a voice came from the sky. “You’ve offended me, and you’ll die!”

The voice was calm, but it seemed to be an Immortal Sound, like the voice of heaven, which made no one dare to resist at all. They could only accept the judgment obediently.

After those words were said, an invisible force wrapped around Gu Jueluo’s body. It was like an invisible hand had grabbed him. With just a bit of force, it could crush him to death.

It contained boundless and invincible power, which made Gu Jueluo feel as if he were in raging waves. As long as a wave came, he would be drowned.

Gu Jueluo struggled desperately, but it didn’t work. He couldn’t break free at all.

His body was still entangled by this force.

Gu Jueluo’s face suddenly turned pale, and his hands and feet were extremely ice-cold. He could feel that he would die in the next moment.

“No, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I still have a lot of years to live. I’ve cultivated for so long, but I’ve only reached this level. How can I die? Right. His Majesty, His Majesty, he must be able to save me…” As if there was a raging wind and rain, surging endlessly in Gu Jueluo’s heart, he roared wildly inwardly. He was not willing to die just like that.

Therefore, when he thought of Qing Ming, as if he had found a glimmer of hope in the darkness and found a straw, a glimmer of hope began to rise in his heart.

He placed his only hope on Qing Ming, but what made him desperate again was that the omnipotent king in his eyes trembled at this moment.

Qing Ming was actually trembling.

The great Ghost King, an expert in the Eternal Realm, had disbelief in his eyes after hearing the voice. His body trembled involuntarily, and he stood there timidly, for fear of being blamed. This was the natural reaction of Qing Ming, and it reflected his current mind.

Except for that man, who else could make Qing Ming so afraid?

At this moment, Gu Jueluo suddenly understood.

“That terrifying being has arrived!”

At this time, a figure like a Celestial God appeared in this world.

At the same time, Gu Jueluo laughed bitterly in his heart. “This being possesses such terrifying strength, yet I’m actually daydreaming. I thought that King Qing Ming would be able to defeat him!

“This is simply wishful thinking!”

In Gu Jueluo’s complicated eyes, the invisible hand seemed to have exerted a little strength.

Poof!

He ended up like the ghost general from before. The Semi Eternal Realm ghost general, Gu Jueluo, was also dead.

Many ghost soldiers and ghost generals turned extremely pale and trembled all over. At this moment, it seemed that there was a flame that had completely burned out their previous domineering spirit.

They knew that a terrifying being had arrived, and it seemed to be targeting their Qing branch.

“When did the Qing being anger this terrifying being?!

“Is it because of those nonentities who wanted to cross the River of Forgetfulness in secret?

“No, things are definitely not that simple!”

Ghost King Qing Ming was trembling. He was the first person to realize who the being that had arrived was, and he already knew it when the voice came.

He didn’t dare to move. Without the man’s permission, Qing Ming didn’t dare to do anything.

He looked like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for his parents to judge him.

After a long time, the being who had spoken didn’t speak again.

However, all of the ghosts present did not even dare to breathe loudly.

The entire scene was so silent that one’s breathing could be heard.

The ghost that had been bickering with Gu Jueluo earlier was also stunned at this moment. He had thought that he would be dead for sure, and he had never expected that the situation would turn out like this.

He had been very shocked by the terrifying strength of the man in the void, and at the same time, he did not understand why the man had saved them, nor did he know who he was.

But when he saw the current appearance of the Ghost King, including the miserable deaths of Gu Jueluo and the ghost general, he was shocked. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he thought of a legend and a figure.

It was a cyan shadow like an exiled immortal. As he moved, there would be endless immortal shadows. Thousands of years ago, the man suddenly appeared in the Hungry Ghost Path and defeated the ten Ghost Kings in just a few moves. After a few words, he integrated the entire Hungry Ghost Path.
