This Scarlet Flame Ghost was one of the high rank ghosts. Although its cultivation was only at the Crystallization Period, it was extremely difficult to deal with when they joined forces. Even their city master couldn't easily kill seven or eight Scarlet Flame Ghosts in an instant.
"This … Sir, I think there seems to be a misunderstanding between us …" Cyan Scar Ghost's face instantly turned pale.
At this moment, how could he not understand that he had met someone he couldn't afford to provoke?
At this moment, Liu Ming didn't say anything. His body blurred and disappeared on the spot.
Almost at the same time that Liu Ming disappeared, Cyan Scar Ghost's body fluctuated behind him, and a black shadow flashed out.
"Watch out, Sir!" the white-armored Fiend closest to him cried out in alarm.
However, Liu Ming's speed was too fast. It was almost like a bolt of lightning, catching him off guard.
As soon as the word "watch out" came out of his mouth, a soft puff sounded, and all the Fiends in the surroundings almost stopped breathing.
A bloody hand was pulled out of Cyan Scar Ghost's abdomen, and it was holding a grey Golden Core.
Only then did the Fiend General come to his senses. He looked down at his abdomen with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he couldn't believe that a Mid Jin Dan Realm Fiend General like him could have his Spiritual Sea shattered and his Golden Core taken out before he could even see the opponent's movements clearly.
"Run! This person … might be a Celestial Phenomenon expert! "
The other white-armored Fiends were already scared out of their wits. No one knew who shouted, but all of them turned around and turned into streaks of white light, fleeing in all directions.
Liu Ming slowly crushed the Golden Core in his hand, and gently wiped it with his other hand. With a flash of grey light, Cyan Scar Ghost's head tilted and slowly fell from the void.
A Mid Jin Dan Fiend was killed so easily. Even if there were Celestial Phenomenon cultivators here, they would probably be shocked.
Only then did Liu Ming turn to look at the other Fiends who were fleeing in all directions. If he let them go, they would probably cause him more trouble when he returned to Sun Flaming City. Since he had already made his move, there was no need to keep them alive.
As his thoughts raced, he slapped the Cultivating Soul Pouch on his waist. "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Two streaks of black and green mist rolled out. They were Fei 'er and Scorpion.
Following a simple communication through his spiritual sense, silver light flashed behind him, and he hurriedly chased after two of the white specks of light with slightly more powerful auras.
Fei 'er and Scorpion also transformed into streaks of light and chased after the other Pseudo Core Stage white-armored Fiends.
After a while, several screams of different distances came from the barren mountain, and then there were no more sounds.
…
The main city of the Secluded Water Region, Biyou City, was located in the southeast of the entire Secluded Water Region. A thousand miles to the east was a wide Styx River, while the north and south were open spaces.
The entire west side of the city was backed by a huge cylindrical mountain that rose straight into the sky.
No one knew how tall the towering mountain behind Biyou City was. If one looked up from within the city, they would only see layers of Netherworld Qi surrounding it.
It was said that there were countless treasures and spiritual herbs at the top of this towering mountain, and some people even said that this mountain could lead to other realms. However, not many people had the opportunity to go up and explore it.
This was because this mountain was where the cave residence of Bi You, the Dark King of the Secluded Water Region, was located. It was also the foundation of Biyou City's prosperity for tens of thousands of years.
Bi You had cultivated hard on this mountain for no less than ten thousand years. In the end, his cultivation had reached the Profound Enlightenment Realm, and he had defeated the Dark King of the Secluded Water Region by himself. Then, he opened up a city here and established the current foundation.
Today, Bi You had long since stopped appearing in public, so most of the people of Biyou City had naturally not seen his true appearance, which added a bit of mystery to him.
After nearly a year's long journey, Liu Ming finally arrived at a high ground hundreds of miles north of Biyou City.
Along the way, he had also passed by several cities of the Fiend Clan, so he had naturally more or less heard these rumors about Biyou City.
Whether these rumors were true or false, Liu Ming naturally had no way to verify, because the Towering Spirit Mountain had long been sealed by Bi You. Unless it was the Dark King's personal guards or Bi You personally summoning them, no one was allowed to approach the Towering Spirit Mountain, let alone go to the top of the Towering Spirit Mountain.
However, now that he was hundreds of miles away from Biyou City, the Towering Spirit Mountain gave off a huge momentum that could shake mountains and rivers, which made Liu Ming slightly stunned.
In addition to the Towering Spirit Mountain behind Biyou City, the size of the main city also made Liu Ming sigh endlessly in his heart.
The entire Biyou City covered an area of tens of thousands of acres, which was more than ten times the size of Cold Moon City. Outside the city gate, there was a gray giant monument that was more than a hundred feet high.
Even from hundreds of miles away, Liu Ming could still clearly see the two green words "Biyou" from top to bottom on the giant monument.
The city walls were made of milky-white boulders piled up together, and the sparkling and translucent stones emitted a faint white light. On the city walls, there were giant crossbows made of gray stone at regular intervals, and the surrounding towers were also towering and majestic, giving off a rather magnificent aura.
Near the city gate, dense crowds of people could be vaguely seen, constantly going in and out, making the entire city show an unusually prosperous scenery.
After checking Yin Han's identity medallion and other items on his waist, Liu Ming morphed into a streak of black light and flew towards Biyou City.
To Liu Ming's surprise, perhaps because there were too many Fiends coming and going, Biyou City wasn't very heavily guarded. The few guards at the city gate in bright green armor only asked Liu Ming a few questions, checked his identity medallion, and collected some Nether Stones before letting him into the city.
After entering the city, Liu Ming found that the bustling scene of people coming and going in front of him made him feel a little uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that all the Fiends passing by had a layer of gray on their faces, he would have thought that he had already returned to the Middle Heaven Continent and entered a large, prosperous city.
However, other than the Fiends who looked similar to humans, Nie Tian also saw some Fiends with strange appearances from time to time. Some had the heads of beasts, but the bodies of humans, and some even had arms that looked like beasts' claws.
Liu Ming wasn't surprised by this, because the city he had passed by before, Hunting Heaven City, was dominated by such half-beast Fiends, and human-shaped Fiends were rare in the city.
On both sides of the crowded street, there were all kinds of buildings of different heights arranged in a picturesque manner.
After casually strolling down a few streets, Liu Ming found a three-story pavilion that seemed to be of some scale and strolled in.
After a while, when Liu Ming walked out of the pavilion, a dark-green map had appeared on the pitch-black ring on his right thumb. He had also sold all of the remains of the Jin Dan stage Specters and the Nether Crystal Cores he had obtained along the way for twenty to thirty thousand Nether Stones.
Adding the Nether Stones he had looted from the Fiends he had killed along the way, Liu Ming now had about sixty to seventy thousand Nether Stones.
For an ordinary Jin Dan Fiend, this amount of wealth wasn't a small amount.
In the following day, he visited a few more shops that seemed to be quite popular, and asked about the remaining Dark Bone Incantation incantations, as well as the method to leave the Netherworld.
As he had expected, he didn't find anything.
Only when the Nether Sun in the sky had shrunk to the size of a crescent moon did he turn to a small, sparsely populated street, and find a relatively remote inn in the city to settle down.
Perhaps because Jade Nether City was the largest hub of the Dark Water Realm, there were simply too many Fiends coming and going. Even a remote inn was overcrowded. After spending twice the amount of Nether Stones, Liu Ming finally found a relatively quiet room.
In a secret room of the inn, Liu Ming was fiddling with a light black storage ring, his face full of hesitation.
This storage ring was the storage ring of Lan Xu, the captain of Cold Water City. The items in it were all rare and precious treasures that Cold Water City was supposed to offer as tribute.
Back when he had been in the Nether River, he had hastily sorted them out. Now that he had taken a closer look at them, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
For example, there were several Nether Ghost Grass, which was one of the spiritual herbs that nourished ghosts. As long as this grass was burned to ashes and put into a ghost-repelling bag, it would automatically absorb the Nether Qi. If it was put on the market, it would cost nearly ten thousand Nether Stones.
There was also a small gray flag that was covered with thirty-six Dark Patterns. It was a rare Dark Artifact that was at the embryonic form of a Dharma treasure.
Although Liu Ming cultivated the Tiger Dragon Hell Technique and the Dark Bone Incantation were both Yin-attribute cultivation methods, he had tried several times, but he still couldn't activate this formation flag, which made him a little embarrassed.
There were also some materials that Liu Ming had never seen or heard of before. For example, there were two black pills that were only the size of a pinky finger, a piece of incomparably cold, pure white jade that was faintly glowing, and a few incomparably round and smooth green fruits.
Liu Ming naturally understood that these seemingly inconspicuous things might be nothing in the eyes of the Ghost King, but they were things that many Celestial Phenomenon Realm City Lords dreamed of. However, these things were of little value now. It was impossible to discard them, let alone take them out.
After all, these treasures wouldn't circulate in the market at all. If he were to act rashly, he would definitely be targeted by others. Moreover, with a force like Coldwater City, they probably wouldn't let the matter go after losing so many tributes.
But once these things left the Ninth Hell and didn't possess the abundant Yin energy of the heavens and the earth, they would probably become worthless. If it was like this, then it was better to find an opportunity to exchange them for Netherstones in batches and exchange them for some things that were useful to him.
After considering it again and again, Liu Ming decided to participate in a large-scale auction held in Nether City a month later. This was what he learned from the owner of a Nether Artifact Shop. It was said that it was a grand event held in this city once every three years.
He hoped that with a large number of people at the auction, he could entrust these precious materials and items to be auctioned without anyone knowing. At the same time, he would see if he could bid for some of the things he needed.
After making up his mind, Liu Ming relaxed and quietly cultivated in the secret room of the inn. After all, he had just advanced to the Middle Jin Dan Realm not long ago, and he still needed to consolidate his realm.
