The law of the jungle
"Hmph, you two better behave yourselves. Do you know where this is? This is the Nine Palaces Ghost Mountain, the mountain gate of the Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign! If you dare to have any evil thoughts, the Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign will turn you to ashes with a single breath! Later, kneel down and beg for mercy in front of the Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign, and you might have a chance to live! "
The Seven Star Ghost Emperor had two ghost tattoos on his hands as he pulled the bound Xuanyuan and Li Yue towards the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain.
"Do you know who the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord is? That's a supreme existence. With just a flick of his finger, your Li Fire Trading Guild will turn into ashes … "
The Seven Star Ghost Emperor worshipped the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord very much, so Xu Anyuan deliberately made the Seven Star Ghost Emperor say such words. Even if the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord was just a small scum in front of the Li Fire Merchant Guild, the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord would still be very pleased to hear such words. Not to mention the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord, even the entire Ghost Spirit Clan might not be a match for the Li Fire Merchant Guild.
Xuanyuan and Li Yue looked reluctant, but there was nothing they could do. The Nine Palace Ghost Mountain was rugged, and it was formed by countless formations. Normal people would get lost, and eventually be devoured by the ghost beasts raised in the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain, or die in the formation.
Within the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain, experts were as numerous as trees in a forest. Any random person sweeping the mountain was a Life Immortal, and those patrolling were Earthly Immortal Ghostly Kings with peak-level auras. There were also quite a few Ghostly Emperors. One could imagine how powerful the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain was.
"Seven Star seeks an audience with Senior Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign. I wish Senior Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign a long and boundless life …" The Seven Star Ghost Emperor and Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign were on friendly terms. This was something everyone in the Nine Palaces Ghost Mountain knew. The disciples on the mountain were already used to seeing the Seven Star Ghost Emperor seeking an audience with Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign.
Since Nine Palaces Ghost Lord had advised the Seven Star Ghost Emperor in front of everyone several times, the Seven Star Ghost Emperor was especially loyal to Nine Palaces Ghost Lord. He would make offerings to Nine Palaces Ghost Lord every few days. Now that he had brought two living people, one of whom was a member of the Li Fire Merchant Guild, many people were surprised. Who would have thought that the Seven Star Ghost Emperor would even dare to provoke a colossus like the Li Fire Merchant Guild? It seemed like he was willing to pay any price to please Nine Palaces Ghost Lord.
Not far away, there were a few young people who emitted the aura of the Ghost Emperor Realm. They looked at the Seven Star Ghost Emperor from afar with sinister eyes and extremely cold expressions. One of the women had a murderous look in her eyes. Her thin lips were like knives as she said coldly,
"This Seven Star Ghost Emperor is so attentive. He just sent a batch of valuables to Master a few days ago. Now, he has brought two living people. Could it be that he thinks that Master intends to pass the Nine Palaces Ghost Mountain to him after giving him a few pointers? That's why he's trying so hard to please Master. He really has ulterior motives! "
"He really doesn't know his place. How can a puny inner sect disciple compare to us? Moreover, he has lived for so long and his potential is so little. Does he really think he can step into the Ghost Emperor Realm?"
The other man's teeth were like saws. His triangular eyes were overflowing with a murderous look. His hands were as sharp as swords and had poisonous corpse qi on them. Once invaded, one would probably suffer severe injuries. Moreover, one's soul would be eroded and eventually lost. Even one's physical body would be occupied by him.
"But then again, Master seems to favor him very much. It seems that he wants to promote him. Look at the two living people he brought this time. One of the women seems to have a very special physique. If we can kill him and send them to Master, not only can we not have to worry about the future, but we can also get a lot of rewards!" Suddenly, someone said this, which attracted the agreement of the other two people. Indeed, if it was an ordinary person, the Seven Star Ghost Emperor would definitely not have brought them here.
"Alright, it's decided. This Seven Star Ghost Emperor is too blind. He actually wants to provoke us. He can't even see the situation clearly. It's a good thing for him to die!" The woman smiled coldly. In her eyes, the Seven Star Ghost Emperor was already a dead man.
In this Land of Chaos, it was a man-eating world. The weak were prey to the strong. It was an elimination mechanism of natural selection. Those who were weak could only die without any suspense!
"In that case, we'll lure him to a mysterious space and kill him later. Otherwise, if we cause too much of a commotion, I'm afraid we'll disturb Master. It won't be good then! Anyway, there are so many Ominous Force Killing Formations here. If the commotion is too big, we'll just say that someone was blind and barged into the Ominous Force. Master won't take a second look!"
"That's right. But what will Master do if he finds out that we killed the Seven Star Ghost Emperor? What should we do then? This is a problem. After all, this Seven Star Ghost Emperor keeps fawning over Master. If we kill him now, we'll be cutting off Master's source of wealth. It'll be inevitable that he'll hold a grudge! "
"The three of us are in the same boat. Master only has the three of us as his disciples. Don't tell me he'll kill us because of a Seven Star Ghost Emperor? At most, it'll be a small punishment and the matter will be over. Don't worry, if Master blames us, I'll do it. Don't forget that I'm the person Master dotes on the most! "
"Hahaha, Junior Sister is right. In that case, I'll leave this matter to you …"
However, both of them knew that this so-called doting was because this Junior Sister had an affair with their Master. It was just that these things could not be said out loud.
The woman, on the other hand, had another thought in her mind.
"You two idiots want to fight with me? When Master blames you, both of you will die! I'll say that you forced me to kill the Seven Star Ghost Emperor with you and even wanted to silence me! When that happens, both of you will die together! In the end, I'll be the only one left to inherit Master's legacy! Hahaha …"
As the Seven Star Ghost Emperor often came to the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain, the patrolling disciples did not stop him. Moreover, it was not easy to go up the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain. Even if the patrolling disciples did not stop him, he had to take the correct route so that he would not get lost. The formation in the mountain changed in the nine days. The Seven Star Ghost Emperor had just arrived a few days ago, and the formation had not changed. Therefore, he did not need anyone to lead the way and was allowed to go by himself.
Xuanyuan quietly used his True Eye to check the terrain of the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain. He saw that many ominous forces were naturally formed in the world. There were many restrictions and teleportation formations in some of the illusory lands. One mistake would send people into these ominous forces. Once someone who did not understand the formation was sent into one of these ominous forces, the consequences would be unimaginable — death was certain!
The Ghost Lord of the Nine Palaces resided at the peak of the Nine Palaces Ghost Mountain. It was a Ghost Palace made out of gray boulders. The Ghost Palace was filled with an eerie aura of death, and it could penetrate one's bones. There were many ancient and strange runes on it, and its killing power was astonishing. Once activated, the Ghost Palace could transform into a high-grade Dao item. It was no small matter, and it could be seen how powerful the Ghost Lord of the Nine Palaces was.
Xuanyuan's face was ashen. Under the control of the Seven Star Ghost Emperor, he staggered forward. He and Li Yue were like prisoners and looked terrified. At least, that was how it seemed to outsiders.
In Xuanyuan's mind, he communicated with the Greedy Old Man:
"Greedy Old Man, if you suddenly attack the Nine Palace Ghost Emperor later, can you guarantee that you can suppress him instantly with the Myriad Transformations Dao Treasure?"
"Hehe! Kid, don't forget that the power of the Devouring Seal is not a problem! I can use the Celestial Dipper Sacred Flame and the Devouring Seal to imprison him immediately! Unless he has broken through to the realm of sages or a supreme immortal like you, there is no way he can escape!" The Greedy Old Man was very confident. This was because the Celestial Dipper Sacred Flame was too powerful against the Ghost Spirit Clan. It was enough to defy the natural order!
"Hmm! That's good!" Xuanyuan calmed down. All he could do now was wait!
In the Nine Palace Ghost Mountain, one could not fly randomly. In some areas, one had to walk. The interweaving of the Teleportation Restrictions and the great ominous forces made this place full of endless danger!
Just as Xuanyuan and the others were moving forward, three shadows suddenly appeared in front of them. Xuanyuan looked up and immediately knew that these three were the disciples of the Nine Palace Ghost Emperor. These three people had a lot of opinions about the Seven Star Ghost Emperor. Since the Seven Star Ghost Emperor's memories were controlled by Xuanyuan and everything was taken over, he knew that these three people had long wanted to kill him. Now that they were blocking the way here, they probably had ill intentions!
"Seven Star Ghost Emperor! It's only been two or three days! You're here again! What good stuff did you bring to Master this time?" The woman in the lead was called the Nine-Tailed Fairy. She was the incarnation of a demon fox. She looked at Xuanyuan and Liyue, not knowing what was so special about them!
"Haha! You don't have to worry about this. When the Nine Palace Ghost Emperor sees it, he will know what good stuff it is!" The Seven Star Ghost Emperor laughed and cupped his hands in salute. He bowed to the Peak Hall to show his respect for the Nine Palace Ghost Emperor!
"Hehe, if that's the case, I won't ask any more questions. Our master knows that you will come back. Come with us. These days, the Ghost Mountains are not very peaceful. The Great Formation inside has been altered, so our master asked us to lead the way for you." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Xuanyuan frowned and didn't say anything else. He could only wait and see for now.
