The ghostly citizens carrying the money pouches passed through the entrance of the palace one after another before disappearing from sight.
Tang Zheng began to panic as the number of ghostly citizens dwindled.
"No, I have to find some hell coins. Time waits for no one." His gaze landed on the money pouch of an excited ghostly citizen.
"What a sin. Today, I'm going to be the one who takes advantage of you."
He quietly walked over to the ghostly citizen and stole the money pouch from him. Then, he quickly rushed to the entrance and handed it over to the emissary.
The emissary stared at him for a moment before carefully counting the hell coins. Then, he waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he could enter.
Tang Zheng felt a sense of relief as he hurriedly passed through the entrance. Before him was a long stone path with towering stone walls on either side of it.
The ghostly citizens appeared particularly small and insignificant under the towering walls. They moved forward timidly, but there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.
Clearly, these ghostly citizens were still in awe of the Cakravarti King's palace. However, they couldn't help but feel excited as they were about to arrive at Fengdu Necropolis.
Tang Zheng tried his best to remain as discreet as possible and maintained the same reaction as the other ghostly citizens. Under the guidance of the emissary, he walked to the end of the stone path.
Wow!
Gasps of surprise could be heard from the ghostly citizens. Everyone was flabbergasted as they saw a huge plaza in front of them.
There were ghostly generals and emissaries standing around the plaza like javelins. An invisible aura surged into the sky, striking awe in everyone's hearts.
The ground of the plaza was engraved with complex patterns that extended to every corner of the plaza. It was an extremely mysterious sight.
There was a tall platform in the corner of the plaza that was emitting bursts of faint light.
Tang Zheng's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the plaza.
"Formation!"
With his knowledge of formations, he could already tell that this was an extremely complex and mysterious formation. In fact, it was more complex than any formation he had ever seen before.
"This must be a teleportation formation. To think that it can teleport people thousands of kilometers away. How miraculous!"
Tang Zheng had never thought that formations could be used in such a way. It was as if a door had been opened in front of him, causing his eyes to light up slightly.
"Stand in the center of the formation," the Netherworld Operatives yelled as the netherworldly citizens filed into the formation in a single file.
Tang Zheng could sense bursts of magic power fluctuations erupting from beneath his feet. The other netherworldly citizens didn't possess any magic power, so they weren't able to sense this, but they were all rather excited.
"Activate the teleportation array!"
Suddenly, an order was given.
A Ghost Marshal walked up to the platform, took out a shiny black token, and inserted it into a groove on the platform.
Shua!
A beam of light rose up from the ground of the plaza before flying past the ghostly citizens and into the sky.
"What a powerful spell formation. What shocking mana fluctuations." Tang Zheng's pupils constricted as he immediately sensed something strange.
As soon as this pillar of light appeared, the entire space around them began to undergo a drastic change. The air surged violently, and all of the netherworldly citizens began to blur involuntarily.
Tang Zheng felt as if he was about to float up. It was as if his body was out of control and was about to soar into the sky.
He didn't circulate his energy to resist this effect. Instead, he allowed this effect to spread, and he was sure that all of the other netherworldly citizens were experiencing the same thing.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a group of Ghost Messengers rushed from the stone path to the edge of the plaza and shouted to stop.
"Stop the teleportation array. None of the netherworldly citizens are allowed to leave the palace. Capture all of them."
The Ghost Generals and Ghost Messengers around the plaza acted as if they were facing a great enemy. They all raised the spears in their hands and stared menacingly at the helpless netherworldly citizens.
Tang Zheng trembled violently as he realized that things weren't looking good.
However, it was already too late. The Ghost Marshal abruptly pulled out the token that was inserted into the platform.
Whoosh!
The light that filled the sky crumbled and shattered into nothingness.
The teleportation array was stopped!
The Ghost Generals around them began to shrink back step by step. The spears in their hands were aimed at the netherworldly citizens in the center of the plaza. They clearly didn't have any good intentions.
Tang Zheng did not act rashly, because he had not figured out what was going on. Although he had an ominous premonition, the other party had a lot of people, and this was the other party's territory, so it was better to wait and see.
The last group of Ghost Messengers lowered their heads and whispered a few words to the Ghost Marshal. The Ghost Marshal's expression darkened and became even more ferocious. Its eyes were cold as it stared menacingly at the netherworldly citizens.
Bang!
The Ghost Marshal took a few large steps forward. The sound of its footsteps was so loud that it hurt everyone's eardrums.
"One of you is an intruder," the Ghost Marshal said with killing intent.
Intruder?
The netherworldly citizens were confused and looked at each other.
Tang Zheng didn't show any abnormalities. Just like the other netherworldly citizens, he hid it very well.
"If you're smart, stand out right now. Otherwise, I guarantee that after I catch you, I will send you to the eighteenth level of hell and let you suffer the cruelest punishment until you die."
Hearing this, many of the netherworldly citizens' expressions changed. They muttered: "The eighteenth level of hell is the most terrifying place in the Ghost Realm. No one would want to go there."
"You don't want to stand out? Someone has already informed us that you are an intruder. We will make you suffer the harshest punishment. Hehe, in a moment, I will send all of you to the eighteenth level of hell. At that time, you will be able to fly south even if you grow wings, "the Ghost Marshal sneered.
"Spare us, Your Excellency, spare us." The netherworldly citizens immediately begged for mercy. Fear was written all over their faces. Some of the Ghost Marshals even knelt on the ground and kowtowed like they were pounding garlic.
Tang Zheng was shocked. These people had paid Hell Coins to use the teleportation formation, but they were sent to the eighteenth level of hell without any explanation. The management of the Ghost Realm was too chaotic and dark.
"Who is the intruder? Hurry up and stand out. Don't implicate us. "
One of the netherworldly citizens said with tears and snot. The netherworldly citizens all looked at each other, suspecting that the other was the culprit.
As the true culprit, Tang Zheng was in a mess. He had let that netherworldly citizen go, but he didn't expect that he would go back on his word and expose him, causing him to fall short of success.
What he didn't know was that ordinary netherworldly citizens could benefit from this kind of whistleblowing. The whistleblower could easily become a Netherworld Servant. This was power.
In a society where power was concentrated in the Ghost Realm, the ordinary netherworldly citizens' desire and passion for power was unimaginable to Tang Zheng.
After this battle, Tang Zheng clearly understood the truth of the Ghost Realm. Although the Ghost Realm was another world, it was actually very different from the Human Realm. This was especially true for the netherworldly citizens, who were completely different from humans. Their values were too different.
Since he had come to the enemy's territory, he couldn't use the Human Realm's moral values and conduct as a benchmark.
A woman's soft-heartedness would lead to big trouble sooner or later.
Seeing that there was no movement after a long time, the Ghost Marshal became impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Take them all to the eighteenth level of hell and let them have a taste of purgatory."
Tang Zheng didn't want to experience this. Moreover, after this delay, it would be more difficult for him to use the teleportation formation to reach Fengdu City in the future.
Thus, he swept his eyes and immediately locked onto the token in the Ghost Marshal's hand. He imitated the other netherworldly citizens and pretended to beg for mercy as he moved toward the Ghost Marshal.
But before he could get close to the Ghost Marshal, the latter had already put away the token.
Without the token, the teleportation formation wouldn't be able to be activated and everything would be meaningless.
Therefore, he had to activate the teleportation formation!
Seeing that the token was about to disappear, Tang Zheng's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He directly rushed out of the crowd of netherworldly citizens and headed straight for the Ghost Marshal.
"Catch him!"
Swish swish swish!
The spear in the Ghost Marshal's hand pierced towards Tang Zheng's chest. If he was hit, then Tang Zheng would be pierced into a hedgehog.
However, Tang Zheng was much faster than the Ghost Marshal. He flew past the muzzle of the spear and arrived in front of the Ghost Marshal.
He reached out with his long hand and grabbed the token.
The Ghost Marshal saw through Tang Zheng's motive and hurriedly kept the token. He raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it towards Tang Zheng.
Swish!
War Soul appeared out of thin air and accurately met the attack.
Clang!
Sparks flew as War Soul and the spear clashed fiercely. Tang Zheng had fought with the Ghost Marshal before, so he had some experience.
As for the Ghost Marshal, he had obviously underestimated Tang Zheng's strength. Therefore, the spear shook and flew out of his hand.
Tang Zheng did not hesitate to seize this opportunity. His long hand flew out and grabbed the Ghost Marshal's neck, breaking it without hesitation. He then reached into his pocket and took out the token.
The token was completely black and filled with an ancient aura. This token was the key to activate the teleportation formation. With the key in hand, Tang Zheng did not hesitate to approach the platform and insert the token to activate the teleportation formation.
However, things did not go as he wished. The other Ghost Generals blocked his path and stabbed their spears towards him again.
Fast, ruthless, accurate!
This time, Tang Zheng had no way of dodging and could only use his sword to counterattack. The Flying Immortals Beyond Heaven Sword Technique shone brilliantly as Battle Spirit's sword light danced in the air. Ding ding dang dang dang, a long string of spears was cut in two.
However, this did not frighten the Ghost Generals. Instead, it aroused their ferocious nature.
"No matter who you are, you dare to trespass into the Ghost Realm and create havoc in Chakravarti City. Your end is here!"
Tang Zheng snorted and waved his War Soul. Sword light flashed and Ghost Generals and Ghost Messengers fell to the ground one after another.
The other Ghost Citizens were scared silly. They were originally ambitious to go to Fengdu City, but they encountered such a situation.
Tang Zheng would not apologize. Ever since that Ghost Citizen told on him, he did not have any good feelings or pity for Ghost Citizens.
There were not many Ghost Generals and Ghost Messengers in the square. Tang Zheng used his own strength and the Heaven Grade Magic Treasure War Soul. It was as if he had entered an unstoppable state. Wherever he passed, Ghost Generals and Messengers would fall.
Dong dong dong!
A series of uniform footsteps gradually approached. In an instant, many Ghost Marshals, Ghost Generals and Ghost Messengers appeared around the square.
They looked at this scene with their mouths agape. Looking at their fallen comrades, the shock in their hearts could not be calmed down for a long time.
The Ghost Realm had been peaceful for many years. There were very few people who had the guts to trespass into the Ghost Realm and create havoc. This was simply like poking a hornet's nest.
Therefore, every one of them was extremely angry. With a loud roar, "Formation!", their figures changed and quickly closed in on Tang Zheng. They surrounded him so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through, cutting off his connection with the platform.
